Marvel: Next-Door Neighbor Is Spider-Gwen

1. Monetary reward: one million dollars

2. Random reward: Icy Cola

3. Servant reward: convert Norman Osborn (Green Goblin)

There was still little difficulty in choosing this time. He chose the second and third options.

The moment Ye Li made his choice—

Norman Osborn's body, which was being prepared for burial, instantly vanished.

The people in charge were scared out of their wits!

"Young Master! Young Master! He's gone! Master Norman is gone!"

A while later.

Harry Osborn arrived at the coffin, his face dark. "Damn it... Pull up the surveillance footage immediately!"

S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Attention! Using Kingpin as a Monster Spawn Point!

Elsewhere.

Rhino's body was taken away and dealt with by S.H.I.E.L.D. personnel.

Coulson also reported the incident to Nick Fury. "Should we send someone to contact the girl calling herself Knightress? We've already identified her through facial comparison."

Nick Fury replied casually, "Mm, send someone to investigate her."

He did not think much of Jessica. In the end, she was just a girl who had only recently emerged.

As the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., he had seen plenty of superhuman beings, even some inhuman creatures.

Coulson asked again, "Should we notify Natasha?"

"Coulson, do you have some misunderstanding about the rank of our agents?"

The one-eyed man raised his head. "Natasha has more important missions. The files show that this girl, Jessica Ye, is only a high school student at Midtown High. Are you going to play house with her?"

Coulson hesitated. "But she is still a superhuman. Data analysis shows that all her physical indicators far exceed those of ordinary people, especially her strength. Conservatively estimated, it is at least over eight hundred pounds."

Coulson was a Captain America fan, so he knew even better that Captain America could only bench-press 1,200 pounds (545 kg) and clean and jerk 800 pounds (363 kg).

"Rhino Mikhailovich was even stronger, yet he was still torn into parts."

Nick Fury's expression turned serious. "I think we should pay more attention to Black Spider."

"This Black Spider has appeared too rarely, and his counter-surveillance abilities are strong. His suit seems highly advanced and can block almost all information." Coulson checked the files and found nothing useful at all.

Nick Fury narrowed his eye. "Black Spider must be connected to Ghost-Spider. Almost every time he appears, Ghost-Spider is present as well."

Coulson recalled something and reported, "That girl Jessica has opened a Ghost-Spider Fan Club. I don't know whether it is pure admiration or if there is some connection. Also, Skye, whom the agency has been watching, joined the club too. I stopped by before, but I didn't have time to investigate it closely."

"Coulson, are you reminding me to give you a vacation?"

"That's not what I mean. Of course, if I could get a vacation, that would indeed be nice." Coulson rubbed his nearly bald head.

"There will be an opportunity, Coulson."

Nick Fury dangled a promise before him, then handed over a file. "Before that, I have a mission for you."

"Fine."

Coulson knew he was simply born to work himself to death. Without saying much, he accepted it. "Then what about the Ghost-Spider Club?"

After thinking for a while, Nick Fury remembered an agent. "Notify Barbara and have her investigate these matters."

Time passed in a flash.

Several weeks had passed since Norman Osborn's body disappeared.

Because of Norman Osborn, Osborn Corporation was in a terrible situation.

Harry was only a high school student. Even though he had been exposed to business matters since childhood, it was difficult for him to carry such a burden.

The board was deeply divided, and much of Harry's authority as acting chairman had been hollowed out.

Funding for some of Norman Osborn's former research projects had also stalled, including Connors's research into transferring lizard genes.

Peter had often gone to help Connors these days, or visited Harry at Osborn Corporation. He had barely gone to the club or hung out with his best friend Ned.

However, Ye Li did not pay much attention to any of that. He had just come out of Hell's Kitchen.

Ye Li had successfully caught Kingpin there once and "taught" him a lesson about not littering.

At the same time, he had farmed through several of Kingpin's Super Criminals, leaving only Kingpin behind.

If he kept Kingpin around, perhaps Kingpin would hire more Super Criminals from Spider-Man's world. Then there would be more to farm later.

The system's random rewards would never go out of date. Even characters with weak combat power might yield good rewards if he got lucky.

Ye Li had become more diligent after tasting the benefits of Weather Control from Rhino.

Of course, the news that Tony Stark had gone missing in a Middle Eastern desert two days ago also gave Ye Li a slight sense of urgency. Still, it would be a long time before Purple Sweet Potato arrived.

Beep—

Ye Li answered the phone. "Hello, Skye... What? You dropped out?"

Skye Drops Out! Relaxing by the Riverbank!

By the Hudson River, the water shimmered as white swans glided leisurely across its surface.

In a quiet spot, a young man and woman sat at an iron table and chairs by the riverbank.

The girl looked around seventeen. Her lovely, delicate face and smooth cream-colored skin carried the beauty of mixed heritage.

She wore a neat, simple jacket, appearing far more conservative than the scantily dressed women passing by on the street.

The young man was also exceptionally handsome. If not for the beautiful girl beside him, women would probably have already come over to flirt with him. Still, he looked somewhat carefree, as though very little mattered to him.

"So that's why you dropped out?"

Ye Li noisily sucked on his juice, occasionally sprinkling breadcrumbs into the river beside him and drawing a few swans over to stretch down their necks and peck at them.

"Darling, don't look at me like I'm some delinquent student."

Skye tapped away at the keyboard of the laptop in front of her. "I've already learned everything I needed to learn. I don't want to waste my days at school anymore."

"I know you're a genius."

Handing the juice over to Skye, Ye Li asked, "So what are you planning to do now?"

Looking at the half-finished juice he offered her, Skye stuck out her soft pink tongue without concern, hooked the straw over, and took a sip. "Mm~ I'll have fun at the club for a few days first, then pursue more extraordinary things! Or..."

At that point.

Her bright brown-black eyes turned toward Ye Li. "Or become some guy's little lover?"

Perhaps it was not a question.

Ye Li slipped his hand inside Skye's coat and wrapped an arm around her slender waist. "You should know about me..."

"Gwen and Jessica, right?" Skye tapped the keyboard a few final times. Once a loading bar appeared on the screen, she ignored the computer, twisted at the waist, and pressed her soft body against Ye Li's. "Maybe I was born to be a bad girl~"

"You don't look like one."

Ye Li gently stroked her cheek, enjoying its silky feel as he asked warmly, "Did something happen?"

Although having a lover was nothing unusual in America, it was not Skye's personality.

Skye gazed at him emotionally. "Li, you really are just as Jessica said. You always know how to be understanding at the right time..."

No, I actually just received a system mission...

Ye Li was somewhat puzzled as well.

From what he had observed, Skye was still an ordinary person. What reward would he get for completing the mission?

Would he just load a hacker template?... That would be fine too. At least it would be a useful skill for gathering intelligence.

Ye Li was not too concerned.

If, in the beginning, he had approached Skye because he wanted system rewards.

Then now, his thought was—this girl was pretty good. He wanted her.

Bold and overbearing.

"I recently learned something from my mom."

Skye began telling Ye Li about what had happened to her recently.

"Although she was clearly hiding a lot from me, I could vaguely tell that there might be something unusual about my body."

"Only when I went to a professional institution for testing did I discover..."

Did she discover she had superpowers? Why can't I tell? Ye Li instinctively thought.

But what Skye said was different from what Ye Li expected.

Skye's eyes grew moist. She wrapped both arms around his neck and said sadly, "It seems like I can't have children, Li... You won't dislike me for it, will you?"

Uh...

Was that really the kind of worry a young girl in the prime of her life should have?
