Spider-Gwen, My Neighboring Little Sister

Tony knew Happy hadn't lost on his own; he was just saving face earlier. So, he asked Ye Li, "What kind of training is that?"

He wants to learn it... Compared to these clever moves, what he practiced before was just boxing.

"Basic martial arts."

Ye Li replied to Tony, then asked the girls, "Did you all see the moves clearly?"

"We did!"

Skye clapped her small hands, acting like a fangirl, "Li, you're so cool~"

"Looks pretty impressive."

Felicia clenched her slender fist, gaining an understanding of the fighting technique.

Maybe if she masters this, she won't have to worry about those clueless guys at school harassing her because of her looks.

Cindy had expected the result, but still sweetly praised, "Very impressive~"

Tony watched the girls praising Ye Li one after another and knew that Ye Li was using him as a human sandbag.

So, he wanted to learn even more, grabbing Ye Li and saying, "Teach me this martial art too. I can pay, name your price."

"Ah..."

Ye Li yawned, showing a lack of interest, "We'll see. I'll teach you when I have time. You know me."

Tony then remembered how lazy Ye Li was; it took him forever to finish a commissioned painting.

"Alright, just teach me a couple of moves when you have time, consider it a casual visit."

Chapter 52: Tony is Anxious! Casually Deals with Obadiah!

"So now, how about letting me pick a few paintings to take with me?"

Tony, remembering his initial purpose, scanned the studio and picked out some paintings he liked.

"Whatever, just pay for them."

Ye Li didn't care. "I have to remind you, although the gallery is my workplace, there aren't many paintings here. You should go to an art exhibition to choose."

Tony acknowledged, "Just picking around. I know your real treasures are hidden in the Northern Building."

"Good that you know. Don't go around blabbing and causing me trouble."

Ye Li took out a bottle of low-alcohol drink from the refrigerator. "Want a drink?"

"Of course."

Tony, while choosing, snapped his fingers. "Pour me a glass."

Ye Li raised his eyelids and placed the wine and glass on the table. "Pour it yourself."

"I'll do it."

Happy came up, poured Tony a glass and handed it to him, then poured himself one as well. "Whoa, this is good."

"Indeed, it's good."

Tony took the wine, but before drinking, he was talking about a painting Ye Li had hung on the wall.

It was a painting of a sexy woman.

"She's been here too? The signature date is even earlier than mine. You're really something."

Tony recognized her as a cover girl he had a date with, but it didn't happen because of the Afghanistan incident.

Ye Li drank his wine. "Don't misunderstand. I'm not like you, it's just a simple portrait."

Tony exposed him, "Come on, that's why I get along with you."

He put the painting back, because he knew Ye Li didn't sell paintings like that.

"I have three lovely girls behind me."

Ye Li pulled away Skye's lightly pinching hand. "Tony, you shouldn't be blind. You better say less."

"Alright, alright, I apologize."

Tony said, holding his wine glass and continuing to browse.

He suddenly saw something and became interested. "Let's see what I've found?"

Tony picked up a small painting frame that was casually thrown in a corner. It had a golden-red armored figure on it.

"You like Iron Man?"

Tony dusted off his own portrait. "Throwing it here like this isn't very polite, but it's well drawn."

Ye Li said indifferently, "Just a casual drawing. His armor is not bad."

He just drew this on a whim, didn't expect the real deal to find it.

"I want this one!"

Tony directly handed the painting to Happy.

Then he found Ye Li's bank account and, with a wave of his hand, transferred a large sum of money to him.

Ye Li didn't even look at the notification of the money transfer, waving his hand, "Farewell, no need to see me off."

Tony choked on his farewell...

I haven't said I was leaving yet.

"Looks like you want to chat with your little girlfriends slowly, so I'll leave first."

"Remember what I told you."

"Martial arts."

After Tony left.

Ye Li didn't continue to build intimacy with Skye and the others as he had expected.

Instead, he instructed them, "You guys practice here slowly, I have something to go out for."

He has time to wander around, but he doesn't give him the suit.

It seems necessary to follow him and meet Tony again under another identity.

Back at home, Tony wanted to give the painting to his assistant Pepper, but she was nowhere to be found.

Beep—

His phone rang.

It was Pepper.

Before he could answer, his face suddenly turned pale, and purple veins bulged...

Stark Industries' elder statesman, Obadiah Stane, walked out from behind Tony, putting away the small device in his hand.

"I really wanted you to see my Iron Man armor, Tony, but unfortunately, there won't be a chance."

He sneered, taking the blue Arc Reactor from Tony's chest, "Too bad, you dragged Pepper into this. I wanted to keep her alive."

"Heh, look at this."

Before leaving, Obadiah saw the painting Tony had placed on the sofa, picked it up, and mocked, "Iron Man? What a ridiculous thing. Can saving those refugees make money?"

As he said this.

He was about to tear the painting casually.

"Although I don't know what you mean by ridiculous, you better put that painting down."

A voice came from the shadows.

Ye Li, dressed as Knight-Spider, walked slowly and steadily to Obadiah.

"Black Spider!?"

Obadiah stiffened, remembering the news from some time ago—

Tony got involved with him?

An unexpected guy...

Regardless of what Obadiah thought.

Ye Li simply patted him on the shoulder, then took the painting and the Arc Reactor from his hands.

Obadiah didn't dare to resist.

He knew that this Black Spider was different from other superheroes; he never hesitated to kill.

Even Norman, the chairman of the Osborn Corporation, was casually killed by him.

He swallowed, "Black Spider, maybe we can sit down and talk."

Ye Li ignored him, only looking at Tony.

"Tony Stark.
