A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

(ー`′ー)……?(???)Ding~

Cao Gui's eyes lit up immediately.

Aha! So that's where the change is!

Last night's work was worthwhile!

Cao Gui chuckled and opened his arms: "Darling, come here quickly."

"No, you're so annoying... ugh~"

"Heh heh, trying to run away?"

Cao Gui wrapped his arms around Gwen, who was trying to run away, and buried his head in her chest.

Hmm~ My baby's lifeline, my nutritional express!

Gwen smiled slightly, her eyes curving into crescents. The true hunter often appears as the prey. Cao Gui thought he had won, but in reality, the victor was someone else.

After their antics, the two drove to school. As soon as they parked, Cao Gui and Gwen saw Lucy, looking unhappy, get out of another car.

"What's wrong, Lucy?" Cao Gui said with a smile. "Is something bothering you? Tell me so I can cheer you up."

"Go to hell!" Lucy slapped Cao Gui in an annoyed tone, then shrugged and said helplessly, "I don't know what happened, John came to me again."

“Your father is a veteran detective, how could he not find you?” Gwen said to Lucy with a smile, her arm around Cao Gui’s waist.

Lucy rolled her eyes. How awful! They were showing off their love in front of her, without any regard for her feelings as a single person.

"Harry, come here right now!" Lucy called to Harry, who was standing nearby. "They're bullying me. I can't be the only one suffering."

Harry: "..."

It's one thing for people with partners to bully me, but it's another for people without partners to bully me too.

A few people walking by couldn't help but laugh when they saw this.

Harry is actually quite good-looking, tall, and from a good family, but he's either studying or figuring out how to help his dad manage the company; he's never even thought about having a girlfriend.

Of course, with his looks and qualities, there are quite a few girls who actively pursue him. According to rumors, Mary Jane and he have been getting along very well recently.

Just as Cao Gui had this thought, he saw Mary Jane running towards him from a distance, making a "duang duang" sound.

Hmm? Cao Gui's gaze sharpened. Although this woman was a green tea bitch, he had to admit that she was much more cunning than Gwen... before last night.

“Good morning, guys,” Mary Jane greeted with a smile, slightly out of breath.

"Good morning, Mary." Gwen's expression remained unchanged, but she secretly reached out and pinched Cao Gui's waist.

Just now, the instant Mary Jane ran over, she noticed a change in Cao Gui's eyes for some reason.

What a despicable man! How dare he openly look at other women in front of her? Does he think I'm a pushover?

"Ouch... It's nothing, I just bit my tongue." Cao Gui winced in pain, involuntarily hissing for breath, and forced a smile as he spoke.

Damn it, I almost forgot, my partner already has spider sense; not only is he very observant, but he also reacts very quickly.

No, I need to find a chance to message Beth, otherwise I might give myself away!

“Hey, I said, we’re almost at the school building entrance, shouldn’t you guys split up?” Lucy said.

But upon hearing this, Gwen was slightly taken aback.

"What's wrong, Gwen?" Cao Gui asked, puzzled.

"I...I feel like my hands are stuck..." Gwen said in a flustered manner.

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, the people around him were stunned. Looking over, they saw that Gwen's hand was pressed tightly against Cao Gui's left waist t-shirt.

Just now, in order to pinch Cao Gui, Gwen had deliberately put her hand inside Cao Gui's coat, and now it was stuck to Cao Gui's clothes in a strange position.

Cao Gui's lips twitched; he roughly knew what was going on.

Biostatic electricity is the biostatic electricity resulting from the mutation of Gwen. Creatures like spiders and geckos use these substances to stick to walls.

Gwen has just acquired this ability and is not yet very good at controlling it, which has led to this awkward situation.

Cao Gui quickly took off his coat and smiled, "Gwen, try a different approach, find a way to let go, you'll succeed."

Gwen nodded, moved to Cao Gui's left, and then kept trying to remove her hand.

However, this was the entrance to the teaching building, a place with a lot of foot traffic, and these strange behaviors quickly attracted the attention of many people.

Gwen's ears immediately turned red. How embarrassing! The more she tried to take her hand away, the more anxious she became, and the less she could control the biostatic electricity.

Enraged, she flung her hand away, and with a "ripping" sound, Cao Gui's clothes were torn off. She was still unaware of the immense power she had suddenly gained.

Wow!

A gasp rang out, and Gwen snapped out of her daze to see Cao Gui shirtless, looking utterly helpless, his well-defined muscles on full display.

Immediately, the eyes of the female classmates around him lit up; those muscles were incredibly attractive to them.

Gwen's expression changed slightly. Her spider-sense went into high alert, constantly telling her that someone was watching her and the meat in her bowl, and that it wasn't just a woman, but also a man.

Fitness can attract both the opposite sex and the same sex. Unfortunately, Cao Gui's muscles can attract both the opposite sex and the same sex.

However, Cao Gui remained calm and slowly put on his coat, shielding himself from the intense gazes of his classmates.

"Let's go, Gwen, we're going to class," Cao Gui said with a smile.

Cao Gui took her hand and led the blushing Gwen into the teaching building.

In the classroom, Gwen sat on pins and needles in her seat, constantly fidgeting with the soles of her shoes. She was so ashamed that she had done something so embarrassing.

The teacher on the podium continued to impart knowledge, but Gwen, being a top student, unusually didn't listen.

Gwen took a deep breath, patted her face to suppress her embarrassment, and began to think about what was going on.

Everything just now was strange. She clearly had nothing in her hands, yet she inexplicably managed to stick to Cao's clothes and couldn't get them off.

"Could it be... that I really turned into a spider?" Gwen was shocked. She quickly touched her back and groin to make sure she didn't grow eight legs or eight arms before she breathed a sigh of relief.

But then she suddenly felt something was wrong. Looking down, she saw that there was a pen stuck to her wrist.

Of course, that's not important. What's important is that what's sticking to the pen is some white, sticky thread that appeared on my wrist at some unknown time.

Thinking back to her past experiences, Gwen immediately thought of spiders, and her expression froze.

"Oh...no, I've actually turned into a spider..."

Chapter 143 Common Goal

At midday, the sun was blazing.

High in the sky, Cao Gui sat atop a spherical cloud, looking down at the bustling New York City below.

Below, amidst the skyscrapers, a blonde woman raised her hand and bent her wrist. A strange sound rang out, and white, almost transparent threads shot out from her wrist, sticking to the wall.

The blonde woman grabbed the silk thread, swung suddenly, and used the force to land on the wall, her feet firmly planted on the smooth wall perpendicular to the ground.

Wow!

Looking at the bustling traffic below, Gwen couldn't help but cheer. With a push of her feet, she instantly pressed her body, which was parallel to the ground, against the wall.

“God…” Gwen looked at her body, which was pressed against the wall without any external support, and couldn’t help but sigh:

"It seems I really do have the abilities of a spider."

In the sky, Cao Gui looked at Gwen thoughtfully, ignoring Holland. The first two versions of Spider each had their own merits.

The slightly chubby, unassuming Toby is incredibly strong and has the best physical attributes of the three versions, while the Garfield version is light, fast, and excels in agility and dexterity.

Surprisingly, Gwen possesses Toby's ability to shoot silk, but she lacks Toby's superficial strength. Instead, like Garfield, she excels in agility and speed.

Cao Gui couldn't figure it out, so he could only attribute it to a parallel universe.

In the afternoon, Gwen and the teacher took leave and went to the Osborne Group, where they directly used their shareholder rights to review the spider-related information.

Soon, she learned everything, but the information recorded in the documents also raised questions for her.

“Richard Parker…the experiment went wrong…then why am I perfectly fine…?” Gwen frowned slightly, muttering in confusion.

Seeing this, Gwen decided to keep what had happened to her a secret and not tell anyone for the time being.

This matter is too suspicious. There's no way to guarantee that there isn't some conspiracy or power struggle behind it. It's best to be careful.

……

In the evening, Lucy had just parked her car on a street and was getting out when she saw a glint of light on a scalp not far away. A person slowly emerged from the shadows—her father, John McLean.

"John, what are you doing here?" Lucy gave him a cold look. This man didn't care about her and her brother at all, he just kept saying he was busy, very busy. Lucy had never had a father figure in her life since she was a child.

“Don’t call me that, Lucy. I’m your father, and I hate it when you call me that,” McKlain said, frowning with displeasure.

"What are you doing here?" Lucy didn't want to argue with him and asked him directly what he wanted.

“You don’t answer my calls or return my calls…” McLean sighed slightly and said helplessly. He was middle-aged now. His wife had divorced him, his daughter was indifferent to him, and his son had simply disappeared. As a middle-aged man, he felt extremely tired.

"That's because I don't want to talk to you at all!"

"Why? And what's the reason this time?"

"Why?" Lucy's voice rose involuntarily. "Do you want me to list them all out? You spy on me, stalk me, and harass me!"

“Child, I didn’t follow you, I just couldn’t find you. I didn’t harass you, I just wanted to talk to you…”

"Dad, I don't want to talk about this at all!" With that, Lucy turned and left without looking back.

“Lucy…” McLean opened his mouth, but could only watch Lucy’s departing figure and sigh helplessly.

"Ugh……"

McLean rubbed his throbbing forehead. In previous years, he had been under too much pressure at work and developed a drinking problem. Every time he faced his successful ex-wife and two children, he couldn't control his temper under the influence of alcohol. Now, he knew what regret was.

Despite his formidable reputation among New York criminals, he was actually just an old man who had abandoned his wife and children.

……

At Osborne Villa, Harry sat in front of the computer, constantly operating it, his expression solemn, even somewhat grave.

"Harry, what happened?" Cao Gui asked疑惑地, "You look so serious."

"Cao, do you know about the power outage a few days ago?"
