Upon hearing this, the girl belatedly glanced at the two children outside, then at her unconscious parents, gritted her teeth, and tried to pull her parents out as well.

Seeing this, Mark could only remind them from outside, "Cut the seatbelt first."

After Mark finished speaking, he tossed a craft knife to the girl.

As the girl gradually calmed down, she picked up a craft knife, cut her mother's seatbelt, and then laboriously dragged her to the window and handed it to Mark and the others.

Mark and Mindy worked together to pull the man out of the car, and then the girl did the same to rescue her father. Finally, the girl climbed out of the car herself.

Mindy and Mark dragged the girl's father away from the car, while the girl carried her mother on her back.

Just as Mark and Mindy breathed a sigh of relief, a deafening explosion came from the scene of the accident.

Mark looked at the RV and van that were instantly engulfed in flames, his face filled with lingering fear.

He was so close; if it weren't for his villainous aura, he might have been gone.

In the Marvel Universe, the villain's aura is actually similar to the protagonist's aura; unless they encounter a plot-driven death, they generally won't die due to accidents.

The girl, her face pale, stared at the distant explosion. Realizing they had saved her entire family's lives, she said gratefully, "Thank you."

Mindy said in a nonchalant tone, "It's nothing, it's what a hero should do."

Mark didn't speak, but instead began to examine the two adults on the ground.

Mark placed his hand on the other person's neck, and after a moment, he withdrew his hand with a serious expression.

Both of them seem to have stopped breathing.

Aside from the abrasions, the two people did not appear to have any other injuries, which means that their abrasions were likely caused by a chemical leak.

So here's the question: why was the youngest girl unharmed?

Mark asked curiously, "Are you alright?"

Once the tension in her mind eased, the girl cried out, "It hurts! I feel pain all over my body, like my body is being roasted on a stove."

After the girl finished speaking, she began to writhe on the ground.

Seeing this, Mindy and Mark quickly pressed down on her convulsing body.

"Are you alright?" Mindy shouted worriedly.

The girl, her voice hoarse from the pain, said.

"This girl is beyond saving." A hint of pity flashed in Mark's eyes.

The girl's parents also died from the chemical liquid, and the girl's whole body was covered in the chemical liquid. Normally, she should be a corpse by now.

"What a pity," Mark thought to himself.

The girl looked to be only sixteen years old, and quite pretty, at least she fit his aesthetic. She wasn't the typical blonde bombshell from Europe and America, but rather a beautiful woman with black hair and obvious mixed-race features.

Mark tried to distract the other person from their perceived pain by asking, "What's your name?"

Despite the pain, the girl gritted her teeth and answered in a trembling voice, "Jessica Jones, you can call me Jessica."

Upon hearing that familiar name, Mark felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

Jessica Jones, a second-tier Marvel superhero, codenamed Treasure Girl, Knight, and Wonder Woman.

Superpowers include super strength, super jumping (short-distance flight), super endurance, and rapid healing.

Jessica Jones is definitely a powerful superhero among all street heroes; at the very least, she's extraordinary.

Mark, who had initially felt sorry for the other person, was suddenly stunned. It turned out that he was the clown, and the other person was about to gain superhuman power while he was the one pitying him.

but……

Mark glanced at the bodies of Jessica Jones' parents without making a sound. This time frame should be the best opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

In the dangerous world of Marvel, Mindy alone isn't enough. If you had Wonder Woman by your side, the safety factor would definitely increase significantly.

With that thought in mind, Mark instantly had an idea.

He went back to the pawnshop behind him, and a little while later, Mark came out with two cell phones with SIM cards.

Mark gently comforted him, "Here's your phone. I'll contact you again tonight, and we'll come see you then."

"And please accept my condolences."

Despite being in pain all over her body, Jessica Jones was unaware that her parents were dead. She just clutched the phone Mark handed her, as if it were a lifeline.

In the most critical moment, Mark and Mindy saved her family, and she wanted to thank Mark and Mindy after her parents recovered.

As the ambulance siren grew closer, Mark pulled Mindy along.

"Hit-Girl, we should leave," Mark reminded her.

Mindy's outfit was not suitable for appearing in front of the Cop (police), since she was very likely still on their wanted list.

Mindy nodded, then whispered to Jessica Jones, "The ambulance and police are here. We're leaving now."

After pulling Mindy away, Mark bought some bread, milk, and other instant food at a nearby supermarket. Judging by the time, Esther and the others must be very hungry now.

Jessica Jones gripped her phone tightly, watching Mark and Mindy walk away. Her consciousness grew increasingly blurred, and then she fainted.

After returning to the chemical plant, Mark first distributed the food to everyone, then glanced at the water sprite beside him without making a sound.

He noticed that the water sprite seemed to be constantly using superpowers, making people subconsciously ignore her, but it seemed that only he noticed this strange thing.

Even Mindy didn't notice anything amiss, and often subconsciously ignored the other person.

Both Esther and Emma tore at their bread and ate it in small bites.

Seeing the somewhat somber atmosphere, Mark took the initiative to say, "We need to leave here soon and head to Queens. We've found a new place to stay there, which is better than here."

Emma feigned ignorance and looked at Mark, asking, "We don't have identification, and we're a bunch of kids, can we still find a place to rent?"

Mark explained, "It was rented illegally; it was just a temporary place to stay."

Upon hearing this, a glint of light flashed in Emma's eyes. She suddenly realized that Mark and she were quite like-minded; they were both naughty kids who could do bad things.

Thinking of this, Emma glanced at Esther without making a sound.

If we have time, we need to take care of this guy. Mindy can't beat him, and besides, Mindy is their bodyguard, so there's still a use for her.

But Esther is different. Being good-looking is useless; people like that should be eliminated.

As for the water sprites...

Emma didn't rush to conclusions because she noticed that Mark seemed to care about this silent companion.

After killing her entire family, being sent to an orphanage, and then being sold, Emma has been brutally beaten by society. She knows that there are many people outside who are more disgusting than herself, so she starts thinking about things from a long-term perspective.

For example, right now.

In the past, she would have definitely killed her other companions and made herself Mark's only friend.

But now, at least she knows she can't kill Mindy, because she's their bodyguard and her safety is directly at stake.
