The Special Performance of Mary Jane's Band
"But now it seems that he is very lenient and indulgent towards you."
Cindy Moon and Mayday Parker exchanged a glance, noticing each other's upturned lips and expressions of relief and satisfaction.
They did have these concerns when they first started following Su Quan, but they gradually felt at ease after spending time together.
Su Quan was not the kind of person who was cruel, bloodthirsty, or unpredictable. Except for certain private moments when he would become violent, he was neither strict nor harsh at other times, and was as easygoing as if they were equals.
But this doesn't mean that Cindy Moon and Mayday Parker would look down on him or disrespect him. After all, both the debt of gratitude for saving their lives and his formidable strength were enough to make them willingly submit to him.
For example, if an ordinary person is kind, easy-going, and respectful to others, they might be looked down upon and perceived as lacking sophistication.
But what if he/she is the world's richest person? What if he/she is the head of a country?
Do you still think that way?
Would people look down on him because of his easygoing nature, thinking he lacks class?
Surely not?
They would only find him to be approachable and unassuming, refined and easygoing, and more charming.
They also feel lucky and special!
Therefore, "prestige" has nothing to do with words and actions; it still comes down to ability and background!
As long as your aura is dazzling enough, you'll have people fawning over you no matter what you do!
Moreover, let me ask you to give you a very simple example.
If you had to choose, would you rather follow a kind master or a strict master?
To put it bluntly, the reason why Cindy Moon and Mayday Parker were able to change their mindset and transition into their new identities so quickly, and to become genuinely close to Su Quan, was because of Su Quan's easygoing nature.
If Su Quan aloof, serious, and taciturn throughout their interactions, constantly emphasizing his status as the master, will they still genuinely like and follow Su Quan?
There should only be gratitude and reality left, not feelings and loyalty, right?
Su Quan did not deliberately try to appear easygoing, nor did he demand that everyone have a deep emotional bond with him or be completely loyal.
Human nature is the most complex thing!
Su Quan's requirements were simple: obey, obey, and obey again!
As long as the other party listens to me, works for me, and doesn't betray me, that's enough!
Su Quan's sense of accomplishment came from winning them over, not from making them all fall head over heels in love with him.
Well, just listen to them, no need to roll them up.
If things escalate into a chaotic situation, either I have to step in to mediate, or they'll fight tooth and nail.
Why bother?
Before we knew it, night had fallen.
Gwen Stacy led them to a bar with an advertisement that read, "One Night Only, Mary Janes Special."
Tonight, the Mary Jane's Band will be performing here.
Gwen Stacy went backstage to meet up with the band members, while Su Quan and the others arrived at the bar's stage, waiting for the performance to begin.
Wow, so many people!
Cindy Moon and Mayday Parker were probably attending this kind of event for the first time, and they looked very excited as they looked at the slightly crowded people around them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please give a warm round of applause to the uniquely charming... Mary Jane's Band!"
The host's enthusiastic voice rang out, and then four girls dressed in matching outfits came out from backstage and stood on the stage.
Cheers and applause erupted.
Everyone took their places and got into position. Just as the four were about to begin their performance, they suddenly heard a scream and a commotion. Then they saw a burly, tall man roaring and throwing a punch at a middle-aged man in a suit.
"Dad?!"
With Gwen Stacy's shout, the middle-aged man was sent flying onto the stage.
Fearing being caught in the crossfire, the individuals fled the bar in panic, Gwen Stacy's teammates also jumped off the stage in a panic, seeking refuge.
It's all messed up.
Complete chaos.
"Pretty durable, huh?"
The burly, tall man was Alexei, the same man who had previously conspired with Matt Meadow to assassinate Sheriff George Stacy at the fast-food restaurant.
Speaking of which, there's something I really need to complain about!
Whether it's comics or movies and TV shows, whether it's good guys or bad guys, these Westerners seem to be able to say anything directly on the street or in a restaurant, without any fear of being overheard, and they don't understand the concept of keeping things secret.
Alexei jumped onto the stage, a playful, cat-and-mouse expression on his face.
"For such a small size, the chin is quite sturdy."
"It's okay, then I'll just beat you until all you have left is your chin!"
Alexei raised his arms high, ready to smash George Stacy, who was lying on the ground, to death.
"Oh my god—"
George Stacy cried out in despair, when she suddenly saw a clump of white Spider Silk stick to Alexei's fist, changing the direction of his falling fist.
"Bang!"
The wooden stage floor next to George Stacy was smashed into a large crater by Alexei's fist, and he fell into the crater as well.
"Spider-Woman... who are you? You're not Spider-Woman!"
Alexei stared in astonishment at the unfamiliar Spider-Woman in her black web suit, instinctively straightening up.
However, what surprised him even more was yet to come.
A woman in a red spiderweb uniform jumped up and stood next to the woman in the black spiderweb uniform.
"Another... another Spider-Woman?"
Alexei was stunned, as was George Stacy, who was pulled from the ruins of the stage by her daughter.
"Spider-Woman... there are three?!"
Hearing her father's soft murmur, Gwen Stacy sighed inwardly with a complicated expression, then pulled him away to leave the bar first.
She was grateful for the help from the Silk and the Spider-Girl, but she was the Spider-Woman of this world, and she couldn't trouble them with her own problems.
George Stacy remained unmoved, not only refusing to leave but also urging her to leave.
"It's too dangerous here, Gwen Stacy, you need to get out of here right away."
"And you?"
"I'm a police officer, it's my duty, and besides..." He glanced at the two unfamiliar Spider-Woman and said in a deep voice, "I have to find out who these two are!"
"But..."
"Get out of here!"
Gwen Stacy's expression darkened, and she turned and ran out of the bar.
"Come on, big guy, let me pamper you!"
Spider-Girl shouted, then used her Spider Silk to stick to the roof and kicked Alexei with both feet.
"Call out--"
Silk Spider Silk extended its fingers, instantly wrapping around Alexei's legs.
Caught off guard, Alexei lost his balance and fell straight forward. Just then, Spider-Girl arrived!
"Bang!"
She kicked Alexei hard in the face, sending his massive body flying.
As the shadow fell, George Stacy dropped to the ground without thinking, and then Alexei swept over her head and slammed heavily against the wall.
"Bite!"
"Combat detected. Reward dropped: Super Defense (Alexei)"
"Bite!"
"Combat detected. Reward dropped: Super Endurance (Spider-Girl)"
The Silk's abilities had long been exhausted; what dropped were Points, so they weren't displayed.
Spider-Girl's Super Endurance is undeniable.
As for Super Defense, just by looking at Alexei's appearance, you can tell that his defensive capabilities must be outstanding.
Also, he lost Super Strength when he fought George Stacy.
Speaking of which, Matt Meadow fits the bill— Daredevil, after all—but Su Quan just couldn't quite place Alexei.
He must be a relatively unknown street villain.
At the bar entrance, Gwen Stacy, Su Quan had changed into her uniform, nodded slightly and began drinking a beer she had somehow managed to get her hands on.
