Chapter 536
Jesteru returned to the rooftop.
His gaze was slightly unfocused. He could swear he had been paying attention to the changes around him, but...
No abnormalities found!
One second he was running down the street, the next he was back on the rooftop.
The entire process proceeded without any warning or abnormality.
"This time it's Super Speed."
Su Quan nodded slightly, signaling with his eyes that he could continue.
"Damn it!"
Jesteru cursed and stopped running, charging straight at Su Quan.
"Bang!"
Jesteru was kicked off the rooftop.
Not running anymore?
Hehe—I had no choice but to run!
How am I supposed to farm rewards if you don't disengage from combat? So, run, Jesteru, run!
Jesteru isn't like the trash-talking the Flash next door, who gets fired up when someone tells him to run.
Although he didn't know the reason, Jesteru could tell that the other party was deliberately toying with him.
Just like a cat playing with a mouse, before killing the mouse, it teases the mouse again and again, letting the exhausted mouse die in utter despair.
So, he stopped running.
I'm just lying here, giving up, whatever!
Jesteru stood still, quickly taking out his communication device to tell his boss what was going on.
"Whoosh..."
As expected, before the communication could be established, he had already returned to the rooftop.
"I'm sorry, I want to surprise her, so I can't let you inform her," Su Quan said insincerely.
"Bang!"
Jesteru's communicator exploded without warning.
"Bite!"
"Combat detected. Reward: Super Endurance (Jesteru)"
Su Quan pointed to the rooftop. "Jump."
"..."
This is outrageous!
Jesteru gritted his teeth and sneered, "What exactly do you want!"
"Huh? Who is he? Is he a spider too?"
The sound of Silk rang out, and then Silk, Spider-Girl, and Spider-Gwen were seen crouching on the edge of the rooftop in different poses.
The three spiders swiftly and decisively defeated Alexei.
The cleanup was naturally left to George Stacy, who was in charge.
"He's an agent of the Silk Organization, and also a spider himself. He's been secretly tracking Gwen Stacy and observing her condition," Su Quan said.
"Following me?" Gwen Stacy pointed to herself in astonishment, asking with a look of surprise, "Why?"
I hadn't found a suitable opportunity to tell Gwen Stacy about the Radioactive Spider and Cindy Moon until now.
Silk and the Spider-Girl, one after the other, told her about the conspiracy and mastermind behind her gaining powers after being bitten.
Gwen Stacy was completely distraught after hearing the whole thing.
"You mean—what happened to me wasn't an accident at all, but rather that Cindy Moon of this world chose me as a test subject and deliberately let the spider bite me?"
Gwen Stacy pointed at Jesteru: "And he's in charge of monitoring my condition. Once I'm back to normal, Cindy Moon will use the same method to build the Spider-Army and conquer the world?"
Cindy Moon shrugged and said with a sneer, "It's cheesy, but—that's just how it is!"
"Why!"
"Why me of all people!"
Gwen Stacy roared excitedly, glaring at Jesteru ...
Jesteru: "I was just following orders."
"Where is she! Tell me where she is!" Gwen Stacy was extremely agitated.
For her, being bitten by a spider and gaining abilities was a turning point in her life.
If it weren't for this incident, her life wouldn't have become so terrible.
He won't be wanted, he won't be misunderstood, and Peter Parker won't die!
"What do you want to do?" Silk asked.
"I want to punch her in the face a few times and make her get rid of these damn abilities I have!"
"..."
"..."
Everyone fell silent instinctively, seemingly surprised that Gwen Stacy would want to give up her abilities.
Su Quan thought about it and felt that it was normal for Gwen Stacy to have such thoughts. Although she also fought criminals, she was not a true hero.
Peter Parker's death, the father-daughter issues caused by her dual identity, and her life being completely affected—her superpowers did not bring her any positive or good side; instead, they brought only pain and chaos.
If she had a choice, she would definitely want to be that carefree, ordinary girl who formed a band with her best friends and let her youth shine.
This might be a difference between boys and girls, since most men dream of being heroes.
Just as every descendant of the dragon cannot resist the allure of sealing the wolf's lair, being the first to seize the flag, being the bravest in the army, drinking from the vast sea, leaving a name in history, bringing glory to their ancestors, being an unparalleled national hero, a pillar of the nation, becoming prime minister, passing the imperial examination, becoming awe-inspiring Huaxia, recreating the Han and Tang dynasties, receiving the mandate of heaven, and enjoying eternal prosperity!
Spider-Girl's first reaction after gaining Silk powers wasn't to become a hero. She would inherit Spider-Man 'Spider-Man mantle because he was her father, and she had admired him since childhood.
What about Gwen Stacy?
She is kind and righteous. Because her father is the police chief, she will lend a helping hand when someone is in trouble.
But that doesn't mean she wants to be a hero, especially an outlaw hero!
Gwen Stacy sensed the somber atmosphere and smiled nonchalantly, "Anyway, I'm very happy to have met you all."
"We are too."
Silk and Spider-Girl nodded somewhat dejectedly, glancing at the indifferent Su Quan.
When they talked to Gwen Stacy, they made subtle attempts and hints, but Gwen Stacy never responded.
This statement should be her response.
Su Quan remained noncommittal. From beginning to end, he had not made any contact with Gwen Stacy. His goal and attitude had always been clear: if she was willing to come with him, he would welcome her; if she was not, he would not force her.
Moreover, from a values perspective, Gwen Stacy, as the daughter of the police chief, is bound to have some conflicts, so when she wants to give up her abilities and return to a normal life, Su Quan doesn't react much.
"Alright, let's deal with this guy first. I can't wait to beat up that bitch hiding in the shadows controlling my life!"
After Gwen Stacy finished speaking, she hurled Spider Silk at Jesteru.
"Bite!"
"Combat detected. Drop reward: Perfect Balance (Jesteru)"
"Bite!"
"Combat detected. Reward dropped: Organic Webbing (Spider-Gwen)"
Gwen Stacy and Jesteru fought, and their abilities dropped as a result.
Incidentally, when she fought Alexei alongside Silk and Spider-Girl at the bar, both she and Alexei lost their abilities.
Gwen Stacy dropped Spider-Sense, and Alexei dropped Super Endurance.
At this moment, Gwen Stacy unleashed all her anger on Jesteru.
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
The two exchanged blows, attacking and dodging, sometimes using Spider Silk, sometimes Bio-electricity, fighting fiercely.
"Who do you think will win?" Silk asked curiously as she watched the match.
Spider-Girl smiled, "Gwen Stacy will definitely win."
"Why?"
"Because we have a master and we have them, Gwen Stacy will definitely be the one to win in the end."
