Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit.

Chapter 182 Gwen and Carrie the Witch (Seeking monthly votes)

The pub was neither too big nor too small, with a dozen or so tables and a retro decor. There was also a stage for inviting some amateur bands to perform.

Sometimes, when guests are in high spirits, they can go up and sing to create a lively atmosphere.

Most of the time, it would elicit cheers and applause from all the guests.

It was midday, and the tavern was quite busy.

When George and Finley entered, the place was already nearly full of people.

Fortunately, George had already made a reservation with the pub owner by phone, who had reserved a table for him.

Located in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, it offers a view of the outside world.

The table is a long table by the window.

The two sides together can seat six or seven people.

Amid the lively atmosphere, George and Finley sat down and, since it was during working hours, neither ordered alcoholic beverages, but instead each ordered fruit juice.

The dishes that came out were two tomahawk steaks, a burger, fries, a fruit salad, mashed potatoes, and the like.

Don't let George's middle age fool you; he has quite an appetite.

He maintains a great physique because he exercises a lot every day. He runs every morning and goes to the gym, a habit he has maintained since he was promoted from a junior police officer.

Even after taking office as director, he did not give up.

Finley is the same; although he is slightly overweight, he is actually quite physically fit, skilled in criminal investigation, and equally adept at hand-to-hand combat.

Such people never have small appetites.

The two ate and chatted, but their conversation was brief, mostly revolving around everyday matters.

The conversation was pleasant; George is a very good conversationalist.

Although Finley is rather introverted, he can be quite open and talkative once you get to know him.

George inquired about Finley's activities in the town of Margrave, particularly interested in how Finley dismantled a large money laundering and smuggling criminal organization.

After all, it wasn't that George underestimated Finley.

However, in many cases, especially in remote towns, the things that the police can do are generally limited.

Not to mention dismantling a money laundering criminal group.

It's called a group, so how could it be small?

It's obvious to anyone with a brain that George must have colluded with multiple parties. Under such circumstances, how did Finley manage to do it?

Finley remained outwardly calm and was about to launch into a long boast when he suddenly noticed something.

He then pointed to the floor-to-ceiling window beside him and said, feigning surprise, "Is that your daughter?"

George instinctively looked in the direction Finley was pointing.

He discovered that the girl standing on the street outside the window was indeed his daughter Gwen, with a very pretty girl beside her.

Gwen took the girl's hand; the girl was still a little shy, but she had a happy smile on her face.

"Gwen?"

George shouted, then slapped his forehead. How could anyone outside hear him when he was inside the tavern?

Perhaps it was a father-daughter connection, or perhaps she sensed a familiar gaze, but Gwen turned around and saw her father George and Finley.

My eyes lit up immediately.

He immediately waved to his father, whispered something to the girl, and the girl, though a little shy, was still pulled by Gwen and ran over happily.

"It seems my daughter has made another friend."

George looked at his daughter with affection, then said something to Finley.

Finley nodded with a smile.

It must be a friend, or perhaps it was done intentionally by their own boss.

Soon, Gwen came over with the girl.

"Dad, Uncle Finley."

Gwen looks very stylish today. She's a girl who knows how to dress fashionably, and her style is very youthful and vibrant.

The girl next to them was the same; both of them were carrying bags.

"This is Carrie. She just transferred to our school and is in the same class as me."

Gwen introduced her new classmate Carrie to her father and Finley.

"Carrie, this is my dad, George, and this is his colleague at the police station, Uncle Finley."

Gwen had met Finley, so she naturally knew him.

"Uncle George, Uncle Finley," Carrie said timidly in a low voice.

"Hello, Carrie, it's nice to meet you."

George and Finley showed the elders the gentle manner of the younger generation, and then George asked, "Have you eaten? Let's eat something together."

"Okay, I spent the whole morning shopping with Carrie and bought her so many clothes. Carrie is so pretty, it won't do for her to wear such old-fashioned clothes."

Gwen wouldn't stand on ceremony with her father.

He immediately pulled Carrie down to sit, and upon seeing this, George immediately got up and sat down next to Finley, letting the two girls sit together.

Then call the waiter to order.

Gwen pulled Carrie along as they looked at the menu and chattered away while ordering.

Carrie was introverted and a little lost when ordering food, but her 16-year-old friend Gwen was very outgoing and didn't care about Carrie's timidity at all. She dragged her new best friend along and ordered a whole meal.

Regardless of whether they can finish the food, if they can't, they'll pack it up and take it home. Good family education has prevented Gwen from having the habit of wasting food.

During the serving of food, George chatted with Carrie for a few minutes in a very gentle manner.

I found that the girl was too introverted, but overall she was a good person, and I felt completely at ease letting her be friends with my daughter Gwen.

Finley sat to the side, watching with a smile.

He adjusted his glasses every now and then, a deep look flashing in his eyes.

"Carrie~~~"

"Is she the girl the boss was talking about?"

Finley, Rachel, and Roseco, who were all involved in Maggrave's early career, all chose to follow Matthew.

However, Finley did not immediately agree to Matthew's offer due to his past and family reasons.

Instead, it continued to settle.

However, his career progressed very smoothly afterward, to the point that it surprised him.

He could even return to Boston to take on a senior position.

Finley doesn't believe there was no other intervention involved.

As expected, after contacting Reicher, Reicher gave an affirmative answer.

Finley wasn't averse to it.

On the contrary, he knew that with his important position, he would be able to do more.

Finley just didn't expect that Matthew's development was too rapid, so rapid that it was beyond comprehension.

Others may not know this.

Finley still doesn't know who those mysterious warriors were in Manhattan that night.

Rachel didn't explain these things to him explicitly.

But Finley could guess many of the details.

Later, Reicher contacted him again, hoping that he could transfer from Boston to New York, and Finley agreed.

He received his first assignment.

Observe and interact with George Stacy and his daughter.

And of course, there's this girl named Carrie standing right in front of me.

After that night, Matthew settled in New York with Carrie as an ordinary person.

They even got Carrie to transfer to Midtown High School, where she was in the same class as Gwen.

As for the original little spider, he's only 6 years old now and in first grade.

After some maneuvering, Matthew became Carrie's brother and guardian.

Don't ask him why he can become a guardian; that's just the power of capital.

The main focus is on being reasonable and legal.
