Bullseye, prostrate at Kingpin's feet, spoke in a low voice:

"All we know so far is that the deceased were Mrs. Gao and a Japanese person."

"Madam Gao's body was destroyed to cover up the crime, while the Japanese man's chest was completely pierced, and there were traces of electric shock around him."

"The traces at the scene were very chaotic, with explosions, electric shocks, and sharp weapons... These elements were far too complex, and even the most professional trace evidence experts would find it difficult to reconstruct the scene!"

No sooner had Bullseye finished speaking than Kingpin suddenly spoke up with a firm tone:

"They are the arbitrators."

"He defeated Green Goblin and then obtained the flying skateboard. The night before last, he killed Electro in public. In the early hours of the same day Electro died, large areas of electric shock marks were found at the scene of Mrs. Gao's death."

"That monster seems to possess a method of plundering the abilities of others!"

"We can't just sit here and wait to die! If we can't take him down immediately, who knows how much stronger that monster will become?"

"If I don't kill him now, he'll eventually appear before me!"

At this point, Kingpin's chubby face was completely contorted. With a body fat percentage of less than 10%, even his facial muscles were more developed than those of an average person.

Even the brightest experts and professors can become hysterical when faced with the threat of death.

Not to mention he was just a gang leader who had recently gone straight and cleaned up his ways.

Kingpin whirled around, his eyes flashing with a crazed and ruthless light:

"Speed ​​up! I don't care what methods you use, kidnapping or bribery, get those scientists for me right now!"

"Also, what did Obadiah say? We urgently need Stark Industries' weapon systems!"

Chapter 79 Philia's Invitation

Upon hearing this, Bullseye first nodded in agreement and offered a compliment:

"Boss is wise. Actually, after reading the reports of Electro's gruesome death, I also suspected that the Judge was the Dock Butcher."

After agreeing with his boss, Bullseye finally got down to business:

"As for Obadiah, that idiot said he could handle his own affairs and was unwilling to provide us with free weapon systems."

However, he also indicated that he would offer a 15% discount on our orders if we stopped purchasing from Hammer Industries in the future.

Upon hearing this, Kim couldn't help but let out a sneer:

"He's certainly got a good plan!"

Thinking that he was no longer short of money after swallowing up Madam Gao's territory and business, Kingpin said coldly:

"Let's pretend to agree to his request first, get our hands on this batch of the latest weapons, and then we'll see what happens after that..."

At this point, a cold glint flashed in Kingpin's eyes:

"Once we have our own supervillain legion, this little bit of money will be nothing. At that time, I'll take the entire Stark Industries!"

"Yes, sir!"

……

Another wonderful day of high school life has come to an end.

Gwen now seems to have chivalry ingrained in her DNA.

She quickly arranged to meet Peter on her rooftop that night for a practice battle, then donned her battle suit and swiftly disappeared into the steel jungle, swinging on her webs.

After watching Gwen leave, Peter was pondering whether to visit Parker Technology or pay a visit to William Baker when he heard a familiar voice behind him:

"Hey, Peter."

Peter turned around and saw that the speaker was Felicia:

"Is something the matter?"

Felicia crossed her arms and stared intently into Peter's eyes, trying to project an image of "openness and honesty."

"Thank you for giving me the jade dragon scales, so, to repay you, would you like to go and have some dessert together?"

Peter couldn't help but find her feigned composure and haughty demeanor somewhat amusing.

His gaze swept over Felicia subtly, noticing that although the girl was trying to appear indifferent, she had clearly dressed up intentionally.

Her silver hair was styled to be smooth and fluffy, and her outfit of a khaki trench coat, jeans, and high-top Martin boots perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure.

Especially... the curves of her bust accentuated by that turtleneck sweater were clearly not on the same level as Gwen's.

Did Felicia have such a big advantage before? Isn't this just them using their superior strength to bully their customers?

Peter almost rolled his eyes to find out what was going on, but in the end he managed to suppress his strong curiosity.

"If you want to thank me for giving you the Emerald Dragon Scale, then there's no need for that."

Before the light in Felicia's eyes could fade, Peter suddenly changed the subject:

"But if you're treating me as a friend, then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Upon hearing Peter's words, Felicia was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and gently punched Peter on the shoulder.

"No wonder Gwen was so infatuated with you; it turns out your previous nerdy image was just a disguise!"

"Let's go, I know a shop nearby that makes really good egg tarts and milkshakes!"

Noticing Felicia's behavior, Peter couldn't help but laugh. This was the Felicia he remembered.

Inside the dessert shop, the atmosphere between the two became noticeably more harmonious.

Peter then casually asked about the conflict between Felicia and her mother that night.

Felicia had clearly recovered by this point, and explained with a relaxed expression that her mother was planning to remarry:

"To be honest, I was completely panicked at that time and had no idea what to do."

At this point, Felicia paused, her gaze towards Peter unconsciously becoming somewhat dreamy.

From her perspective, Peter seemed to have donned a hood and a blurred mask, transforming into the powerful and domineering "arbiter":

"However, your appearance helped me make up my mind, and now I've thought it through completely."

At this point, Felicia unconsciously clenched her fist:

"If that woman really dares to abandon me and my father, then I will use the same methods my father used to accumulate wealth to make her completely lose everything my father gave her!"

Felicia's words were rather cryptic; if Gwen were here, she would definitely be completely baffled.

But Peter understood.

He knew who Felicia's father was—the notorious thief "The Cat," Walter Hardy.

Clearly, Felicia had no intention of stopping her vain mother, but rather planned to punish her in a more subtle way.

She wanted to steal all of her mother's property and make that woman regret her wrong choice.

Although this method may sound somewhat improper, there is no doubt that Philia has overcome her inner weakness after obtaining the Emerald Dragon Scale.

She gradually began to reveal the true nature of her personality, becoming more and more like the "black cat" in the original story.

However, the current "Nightingale" is no longer morally ambiguous, but is more like Peter today—only doing what she believes is right.

"Don't you think I'm going too far?"

After revealing her plans against her mother, Felicia suddenly stared intently into Peter's eyes, as if awaiting a trial.

She even subtly used the micro-expression analysis skills her father had taught her to determine whether Peter was lying to her.

Peter simply smiled and raised his glass to Felicia:

"No, I think what you did was just right."

Peter said this from the bottom of his heart.

Having lived two lives, his way of thinking is completely different from that of Peter, the "good neighbor" in those parallel universes.

He didn't think Felicia's actions were excessive; on the contrary, he felt that... the girl hadn't gone too far enough.

In ancient times, a gold digger who absconds with her ex's money would have been drowned in a pig cage...

Once she was certain that Peter wasn't lying, Felicia suddenly laughed, a truly hearty laugh.

She gently clinked glasses with Peter, then downed the milkshake in one gulp.

"Thank you, I really mean it."

"Also, let me tell you a secret: my dad has a whole cellar full of fine wines. Maybe next time, we can invite Gwen over and try drinking some wine together."

Because of the prohibition law in Almica, teenagers must wait until they are 21 years old to drink alcohol.

While most teenagers have secretly tried drinking before this age, Peter and Gwen were clearly not among them.

After saying this, Felicia picked up her schoolbag and left with light steps.

Only when she reached the door did she wink playfully at Peter:

See you tomorrow, Peter.

"See you tomorrow."

After watching Felicia leave, Peter couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.

I wondered if you would really invite Gwen then.

I don't think so...

Chapter 80: Their Bodies Are Very Honest

After gently shaking his head, Peter finished the last egg tart in his hand, got up, and left the dessert shop.

For Felicia, Peter decided to employ the classic strategy of his master:

Neither take the initiative nor refuse.

As for whether or not they are responsible...

It all depends on how proactive Felicia is, and when Gwen will be able to accept the reality that she will have several more sisters.

Hmm, speaking of which, the strategies Peters, the "good neighbors" in parallel worlds, use to deal with black cats seem to be similar to ours.
