A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

"Hey! Gwen, Cao's back to normal!" Beth waved and exclaimed in surprise.

Cao Gui held Beth in his left arm, stretched out his right hand, and smiled broadly, wanting to hug Gwen as well.

“Gwen, you’ve come, just in time…”

then……

Bang!

Gwen punched Cao Gui in the face and roared angrily.

"You bastard, you actually got together with Beth behind my back!"

"Ah... Gwen, listen to my excuses, it's not what you think..."

Bang bang!

"You bastard, you actually hit me for that witch!"

"I'm sorry, Gwen, I was bewitched. It's all that witch's fault..."

"That's right, and me too!" Beth realized, glared at Cao Gui, and punched him backhand: "You beat me and Gwen up for that witch!"

"It's all your fault, you bastard!"

"Yes, that's right, it's all your fault!"

Bang bang bang!

"Beth, let's do it together, hit him hard, and beat this scumbag to death."

"Gwen, how about I use Extreme Heat?"

"Very good! I'll make a whip out of spider silk."

Cao Gui: "..."

This is like she's trying to murder her husband!

Sif glanced at Lorelei, then grabbed her and left. If she wasn't mistaken, the three of them would most likely end up in bed together. She decided not to watch anymore; this kind of scumbag was really annoying.

Chapter 437 Addicted to Cultivation, Unable to Extricate Himself

In a room on the top floor of the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas, Cao Gui slowly opened his eyes and broke free from two pairs of arms.

Cao Gui glanced at Gwen and Beth beside him, his lips twitched, and he shifted his waist somewhat awkwardly.

Last night, the two women went to great lengths to get revenge on him, especially Gwen, who claimed that she had been fighting too much these past few days and that her spider webs had consumed too much energy, so she needed to replenish her protein intake, not only through injections but also by taking large amounts orally.

Then there's Beth, who lit up a fire, stuck two ram horns into her hair, and dressed up as a succubus to cause trouble. If Cao Gui hadn't cultivated domineering aura for many years, possessing superhuman physical strength and unparalleled willpower, he probably would have been defeated in no time.

"Thank you, system, thank you, domineering..." Cao Gui wiped his sweat, feeling extremely fortunate.

Cao Gui got out of bed, opened the window, and a gentle breeze brought a breath of fresh air to the room, which was filled with the fragrance of photinia flowers.

Cao Gui stood by the window, looking down at the flashing neon lights and the dazzling Las Vegas, and a sense of heaviness began to creep into his heart.

Lorelei was actually sent to Earth by Thanos's faction to find the Infinity Stones. Cao Gui never dared to underestimate that cosmic overlord, but fortunately, this world was Thanos from the Marvel Cinematic Universe, not the comics.

If it's a comic book setting, then Cao Gui's system alone is no match for the Purple Sweet Potato Spirit. However, in a movie universe, Cao Gui might have a fighting chance.

"I must increase my strength..." Cao Gui muttered to himself, opened the system panel, and exchanged for a high-level Armament Haki training method. For the next period of time, he would focus his energy on training.

Thanos is too much of a threat. Cao Gui must stop him from getting the Infinity Stones and from snapping his fingers. The Avengers no longer exist in this world, and we can't count on them to save the universe.

"What are you thinking about?" A gentle voice came from behind. It was Beth. Her Extremis virus body had a strong self-healing ability, and she recovered a little faster than Gwen.

As she spoke, her smooth, warm body nestled into Cao Gui's arms. Beth touched Cao Gui's brow and asked with some confusion:

“You seem very downcast, and there’s no joy at all from getting me and Gwen into bed.”

Cao Gui rolled his eyes, somewhat unwilling to speak: "What do you mean by lying? I clearly won the favor of these two beautiful ladies because of my handsome looks and strong personal charm."

"Pah..." Beth pinched Cao Gui's face and spat. She must have been blind to have fallen for this scumbag.

"Lie back down quickly, I can't sleep without holding you." With that, Beth pulled Cao Gui back and placed him between herself and Gwen, using him as a pillow to continue lying down.

Cao Gui had no choice but to hug his two girlfriends and continue sleeping. This wasn't a big deal in itself, but the problem was that they fell asleep in no time, while he... remained perfectly awake!

"It's so painful..."

……

Back in New York, Cao Gui took a long leave of absence from school and began to focus on training advanced Haki. Of the three types of Haki, Cao Gui only had Armament Haki and Observation Haki, not Conqueror's Haki.

Hmm... he doesn't have the qualities to be a king.

It's fine if it doesn't exist. Whoever wants to be the Pirate King can be, Cao Gui isn't interested. What Cao Gui is interested in are pretty young ladies.

As for Caesar's Palace, the battle between Cao Gui and his group of five caused them considerable property damage. However, since the incident was caused by Asgard, the cleanup was left to Pierce, and S.H.I.E.L.D. would cover the losses with some money.

Meanwhile, Gwen and Beth began to get along very well. Under Beth's guidance, Gwen learned nanotechnology from Dr. Zhao Hailun and invited Dr. Zhao Hailun to join the research on nano armor.

Beth mentioned it to Cao Gui, who then gave them the nanotechnology he had obtained from Hydra, which should be of some help to them.

A month passed in a blur. Aside from his daily grain tax payments, Cao Gui spent his time being struck by lightning and practicing advanced domineering qi. However, he only grasped the form, not the essence. He made some progress, but it was rather slow.

"Damn it... how did Wang Lufei manage to learn it all in one day..." Cao Gui rubbed his temples, utterly speechless.

The opponent not only learned advanced Armament Haki in one day, but also Conqueror's Haki Entanglement in one day, and even awakened a Devil Fruit.

Cao Gui, let alone awakened his Devil Fruit, has made slow progress even in advanced Armament Haki.

"Do I really need Kai-sensei's guidance...?" Cao Gui paced around twice, somewhat agitated. Kaido's character card wasn't cheap; ten million merit points made Cao Gui grin from ear to ear.

That's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that character cards have a cooldown period. Once you use one, it means that the character card cannot be used again for a short period of time.

“Cao…” Gwen’s voice sounded from behind. She walked over and cupped Cao Gui’s face, looking him up and down.

Cao Gui slapped her hand away impatiently: "Why aren't you going to school yet? You're going to be late."

“You’re really out of your mind!” Gwen rolled her eyes and said, “It’s the weekend, school is closed.”

“You’ve seemed so anxious lately. Is something bothering you?” Gwen gently stroked Cao Gui’s face and said softly.

"Really?" Cao Gui asked doubtfully, "There's such a thing?"

“Yeah!” Gwen rolled her eyes, somewhat disgruntled. “You don’t even care about me and Beth anymore.”

"Haha..." Cao Gui scratched his head and chuckled twice: "Well, there were some things, but they've been resolved."

Gwen looked at Cao Gui with suspicion, then nodded after a moment: "Alright. I believe you. Come with us on this trip."

"Huh? Where to?" Cao Gui was completely bewildered.

“The hospital,” Gwen said. “Our school’s Avenger is injured, and Harry invited us to go visit him.”

"Is that so?" Cao Gui asked in surprise.

“Yes.” Gwen nodded. “He took down a gang of thieves who were illegally selling high-tech weapons from the Chitauri and prevented a hijacking.”

“Harry has been getting along better with him lately, so he invited us over to visit.”

Cao Gui's lips twitched. Would Harry turn back into the Green Goblin because of this kid?

That's absolutely infuriating!

"It's good for you to rest, so shall we go?" Gwen chuckled. "Beth is already waiting for me downstairs...we're here."

"Alright..." Cao Gui smacked his lips. Cultivation should be balanced; one cannot blindly cultivate. It would be good to go and take a look.

“Come on, let me help you pick out some clothes,” Gwen said with a light laugh, holding up Cao Gui’s hand.

Downstairs, Beth sat in her car, glancing at her watch every now and then: "Weren't you just going up to get your bag? Why did it take you so long? It's been half an hour..."

"Damn it, let's go upstairs and check!" Beth smoothed her hair, couldn't help but curse, and went upstairs.

Chapter 438 Time Stops

Boo!

A black Maybach was parked in front of a New York hospital. Cao Gui glared at his two girlfriends in the back seat: "It's all your fault. We're late, way too late!"

"Hmm?" Beth snorted irritably. "You seemed to be the one enjoying it the most just now, didn't you?"

"Ahem... Alright, that's enough." Gwen coughed twice. "Let's hurry up and go up."

To my shame, the scumbag was obsessed with cultivation. Although he still paid his dues on time, for some reason, he suddenly found it very delicious and couldn't resist, which caused him to be late. It was her fault.

Cao Gui parked the car and led his two girlfriends into a ward. Looking up, he saw a chubby black man talking, gesturing wildly, while a curly-haired black woman listened listlessly, her chin resting on her hand, holding a book.

There was also a tall, straight Black woman who was smiling at the chubby Black man and Peter Parker, but she seemed distracted and not very interested in their conversation.

Cao Gui rolled his eyes. Damn it, the whole room is full of black people.

"Cao, you guys are a bit slow," Harry said with a laugh. Cao Gui was taken aback for a moment, and his worry about Harry turning into the Green Goblin gradually began to lessen.

This Peter Parker likes black people and isn't very interested in Harry, who is a pure white man.

"Why are there three of you?" Harry asked, puzzled.

"Can't I have two girlfriends?" Cao Gui snorted, reaching out to hug the two women beside him.

Gwen and Beth rolled their eyes, but didn't push the jerk away, letting him hold them.

Harry's lips twitched. This was enviable... but despicable!

Peter Parker's eyes lit up at the suggestion. He glanced at the curly-haired and straight-haired black women beside him, and a surge of pride welled up inside him. "I think I could do that too..."

But the two black women only glanced at him briefly before looking away; they weren't particularly interested in Peter Parker.

"Huh? Why are there so many people in this ward?" A female doctor walked over, and seeing so many people, she frowned and said, "So many people are not allowed in the ward. Please don't crowd here and disturb the patients."

“Dr. Palmer, this place isn’t cramped, there’s no need for this.” Harry said, shrugging. He had actually arranged this ward himself. How could the future head of the Osborn Group be stingy? Of course, he would provide the best of everything.

This ward is the same; it's spacious, bright, and has private rooms for each patient. It doesn't have the pungent smell of disinfectant or medicine that you'd find in a typical ward.

Cao Gui rolled his eyes, exchanged a few simple greetings with Peter Parker, and then left the ward with his two girlfriends.

Cao Gui knew Dr. Palmer. When Gwen was bitten by the mutated spider, Cao Gui had to come to her house to donate blood to save her from excessive blood loss. The person who called her was Harry.
