Then Skye sent a message: [I covered for you, told Gwen and the others you were out having fun, remember to reward me~]
"I guess..." Cindy saw him checking his messages and guessed what was up, "You have to go, don't you?"
"If you wanted me to stay the night, I wouldn't object."
Ye Li joked, then added, "Right, you were a bit impulsive today, you're probably going to skip class, but I have some connections at the school, you don't have to worry about losing credits."
"Mmm... remember to miss me." Cindy didn't care about school, she was only thinking about Ye Li.
"I will, my sweet Cindy~"
Ye Li said goodbye to Cindy, "If you ever want to join the Ghost-Spider Club, you can contact me, I'm off now."
"I'll consider it."
Cindy peeked out from behind the door.
"You have to remember what I said, be careful of Morlun and The Inheritors!"
"Got it~"
The next day.
Ghost-Spider Club.
"Wow, big brother, you had a wild time yesterday! Suddenly running off to play, disappearing for half the day."
Jessica looked at Ye Li suspiciously, "I heard from people at school that you were being chased by three girls?"
Gwen winked at Ye Li from the side and added with a smile, "Some people said it was thirty~"
Gwen is the best~
Ye Li knew she was saying that on purpose to get him off the hook, "See, Jessica, it gets more outrageous the more it's spread, you can't believe rumors."
"I don't care about you."
Jessica saw that Gwen was being so useless, she stopped caring about it and said, "Li, you said the Ghost-Spider's welcome gift is ready, can we contact Ghost-Spider?"
Ye Li suppressed a smile, trying not to look at Gwen, "Of course, you can notify them, I'll be here waiting."
Tony had finished making a series of improved web-shooters, and Ye Li had already picked them up.
It's time to meet Gwen... no, Ghost-Spider.
Chapter 33: Fight the Landlord! Domination! Super Spider-Sense!
[Agent Moore, after much investigation, these are the only obvious conclusions, I question your abilities] [Hill, don't use that tone with me!]
Barbara said angrily into the communicator.
[Good heavens! Do you know what it's like to be chased and struck by lightning like a madman?] [No! You don't!] [I think I'm about to be driven mad!]
Hill: [So, according to you, Skye has awakened her powers, and it's controlling lightning?]
Barbara: [Very likely!]
[Then put that matter aside for now]
[Lizard Man has reappeared, at Midtown High]
[You are one of the closest agents, if it's convenient, go check it out and gather some information]
Barbara: [It's not convenient! I've already disguised myself and arrived at the club's entrance!]
[Then, I wish you a smooth investigation]
Hill on the other end didn't push it and hung up the communication.
For small incidents like Lizard Man within the New York City area, S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't invest too much energy.
"Okay, this time I'll infiltrate the club, I'll definitely be able to investigate something."
Barbara took out a sliding compact mirror to check her appearance.
After confirming that her look resembled a student, she encouraged herself, "You can do it, Barbara!"
"Hello~ Is anyone here?"
Hearing the soft female voice coming from outside the club.
Little fatty Ned's eyes lit up, and he ran to the door with excitement, opened it, and stuck his round head out to see.
He saw a girl looking at him with a smile.
The girl was dressed in trendy sportswear, her long blonde hair was tied into pigtails behind her head, and she was wearing a white baseball cap at an angle, looking very youthful and beautiful.
"Oh~ hello, beautiful lady!"
Ned quickly opened the doors wide, saying solicitously, "Of course there's someone here. Is there anything I can help you with? Are you here to join the club?"
Barbara wasn't in a hurry to reveal her purpose, asking him first, "Is Jessica Jones in the club?"
"Are you a fan of Knightress?"
Ned scratched his face, embarrassed. "That's really bad timing... she and Gwen Stacy just left the club right before you arrived."
"Is that so..."
Barbara thought for a moment, then asked, "Then are Mr. Ye Li and Ms. Skye Kory-Satt in the club?"
"Them? Yes, they are."
Ned quickly pointed inside, afraid the beautiful newcomer would leave. "Look, they're right there!"
Barbara followed his gaze and looked inside—
Ye Li slapped two cards on the table: "A pair of twos!"
Skye looked at the good hand she held, her beautiful eyebrows furrowed. "Pass..."
That shouldn't be possible. With my hacker-level calculation ability, how can I play cards with Ye Li and not win a single hand until now?
Ye Li, on the other hand, was smiling happily.
Super Spider-Sense is so useful. I'm winning every time I play cards. When I have time, I should go to gambling cities like Las Vegas to make a killing.
"A full house!"
"A straight!"
"Royal flush!"
Under Ye Li's relentless attacks, the poor "peasants" Skye and Mary Jane were quickly defeated by the evil "landlord," losing another round.
"Damn it!"
Skye looked at the few cards she had left in her hand, feeling her pride take a hit...
She discussed with Mary Jane, "MJ, we can't let Ye Li be the landlord next round! Otherwise, we're going to lose!"
Hmm... if you can't beat them, join them. If I'm with Ye Li, at least I can lie down comfortably for a round.
Ye Li quickly shuffled the cards, pointing to his face. "Come on, let's honor the bet."
Mary Jane smiled.
She leaned over and gently kissed Ye Li on the cheek.
She and Ye Li didn't have that kind of ambiguous relationship.
But in America, this could also be a polite gesture and didn't mean anything.
It was just adding a little fun to the game; neither of them minded.
But when it was Skye's turn, she was supposed to kiss Ye Li on the other cheek, but Ye Li pointed to his lips. "Kiss me here, Skye."
"Huh? Why?" Skye paused.
Ye Li blinked. "Because you're special."
"Heh, Gwen Stacy and Jessica just left, and you already dare to be so arrogant~"
Although Skye said that, she was still very happy, leaning in and gently kissing Ye Li on the lips~
Ned, who was next to them, was so jealous that he was practically sucking on lemons...
He wanted to play this kind of game too.
Unfortunately, no one wanted to play with him.⑧
Peter?⑨
Oh, he couldn't imagine that scene...③
...Speaking of which, where did Peter go? He disappeared like Harry.⑨
Looking at the news, a Lizard Man appeared at Midtown High. I hope he's not at school.⑥
