Black Cat's Kiss

Felicia waited in the darkness for a while.

Nothing could be seen or heard inside the instrument.

But she didn't feel uneasy at all.

She truly loved the mystery that the night brought her; the unknown mystery and danger fascinated her.

A while later.

She felt the machine start up.

The serum flowed into her body through the syringe.

She didn't feel any pain, just a little drowsy.

Hardy looked at the data displayed on the computer screen and only felt truly relieved after confirming that everything was normal.

He then focused his attention on the gangsters approaching in the surveillance footage, a cold smile spreading across his face.

"Kingpin..."

Hardy had certainly heard of Kingpin's name.

Although he is over seventy years Old Gu, unlike Captain America who was frozen for seventy years, he only entered the S.H.I.E.L.D. Prison more than ten years ago.

By that time Kingpin had already made his fortune and had a considerable reputation in the underworld.

More than a decade has passed, Kingpin's criminal empire has grown even larger. Under normal circumstances, even if Felicia had been injected with the serum, Hardy would not have been willing to clash with Kingpin.

But with Ben's support, things were very different.

Putting aside the relationship between Ben and the H.A.M.M.E.R.., Hardy has also been quickly learning about the events of the past few years and has come to know about powerful Super Hero like Iron Man and Spider-Man.

He also learned from his daughter that Ben was the second Spider-Man — The Hacker.

Back then, when Ben told him at H.A.M.M.E.R. that he was pretty good at the game, he wasn't bragging; in fact, he was being modest.

With such a powerful backer, what does he have to fear?

Kingpin?

Just do it!

Just then, the gangsters successfully infiltrated the foundation.

Of course it went smoothly, because Hardy hadn't set up many defenses.

He sat in the laboratory chair, toying with a silver coin in one hand, flipping it between his fingers like a butterfly, like a magician.

The gangsters were initially cautious, but as they encountered no danger along the way, they gradually lowered their guard.

"Looks like this mission will be easy."

One of the Black men laughed.

"You can get millions just by catching an old man and a woman. I've never seen an easier job than that."

"Old man?"

"That's the founder of the Hardy Foundation and his daughter. Just their identities alone are extraordinary," another gang member retorted.

To be honest, given Hardy and Felicia's status, they could easily get millions of dollars in ransom, but getting ransom is much more troublesome than exchanging Kingpin.

Besides, Kingpin only wants people; they could easily steal and sell the Hardy Foundation's assets.

"I just don't know what Kingpin wants that old man for?"

Kingpin naturally wouldn't tell his underlings that his target was the Super Soldier Serum; if word got out and attracted the Hand's ninjas, things would get complicated.

"I've heard that the Hardy Foundation's Princess is a great beauty. Since she's going to be handed over to Kingpin, why don't we..."

The black man grinned lewdly again, revealing a vulgar expression.

Another person immediately chimed in:

"I think Mrs. Hardy is still quite charming; why don't we let them both come together?"

The team leader frowned and hissed, "Alright, once we split the money, what kind of woman can't we find in Hell's Kitchen? If anything goes wrong and I don't get my money, I'll cut off the dicks of you bunch of lecherous idiots and feed you to the sharks!"

"How can those bitches from Hell's Kitchen compare to the rich girls from wealthy families?"

"Then we'll have that old Hardy watch over his wife and daughter..."

"Alright, let's not complicate things further."

Several gang members clearly didn't take his words seriously, but the thought of millions of dollars made them dismiss the idea.

After all, they know which to choose: one moment of pleasure or a lifetime of pleasure with the money.

"Boss, the front door is locked."

The gang member at the front pushed the laboratory door but found no response.

Everyone realized that Hardy was probably inside.

"It's blown up!"

Without a second thought, the leader threw a bomb out.

Boom!!!

Felicia regained consciousness amidst a violent explosion.

She felt as if she were having a dream, in which she seemed to have transformed into a beautiful black cat and ruled over everything.

She lay there lazily every day, her claws, which looked like white gloves, pinning down a black spider with white patterns.

But she didn't know why she couldn't bring herself to kill it.

Instead, they mischievously played with it.

Then the spider suddenly leaped, transformed into Ben in mid-air, and pinned her to the ground, torturing her mercilessly.

He kept stroking the cat's head and chin, and rubbing its belly and back near its tail, causing it to involuntarily raise its tail.

Felicia was extremely shy.

Swearing that the little kitten would never be a slave, it then transformed into a human, trampled Ben under its feet, and then pounced on Ben's stomach, leaning down to prepare to Ben.

However, at that moment, a violent explosion instantly woke her up.

Felicia opened her eyes.

It was still pitch black, but then the night vision function of the goggles activated, and she discovered that she could see things in the dark.

Furthermore, her hearing was also improved.

The equipment that was originally designed to block out sound could no longer stop her.

Felicia pricked up her ears and heard several unfamiliar voices.

"Old man, come with us. Kingpin wants to see you."

Kingpin?

Felicia was instantly enraged. After all these years, she had finally managed to see her father again, and now someone was trying to take him away from her once more!

Moreover, it was obvious that the explosion just now was made by these people.

"Hateful..."

"You tried to take my dad away and disturbed my sweet dreams!"

"I'll be there right away... right away...!"

Felicia clenched her fists in anger, and a power she had never felt before erupted within her body.

All she wants now is to tear these people to pieces.

The next moment, she curled her fingers, revealing sharp claws in the darkness.

Swish!

The metal instrument was instantly pierced by her claws.

Felicia leaped out like a wild beast; her body was almost twice as strong as before, but she didn't appear bulky; instead, she was as athletic as many female athletes.

That's why the black clothes fit her so well, revealing a wild beauty beneath her slender muscles.

Her originally golden hair turned silver at that moment, as if she were draped in a silver veil cast by the moon goddess, mysterious and beautiful.

But no one was fortunate enough to witness this scene.

The laboratory's power had been cut off during the explosion.

Only a faint light flickered.

"What is that?!"

The gang members, each holding a gun in one hand and a flashlight in the other, shone the light towards Felicia's location.

But when the flashlight beam moved over, it found the place empty except for a broken machine emitting sparks.

Hardy also saw this scene with the help of his flashlight.

Knowing that his daughter had successfully transformed, Hardy couldn't help but smile. When he looked at the gangsters again, it was as if he were looking at dead men.

"It's just a machine that fell over, don't make a fuss. Quickly catch this old man, then find his daughter and bring them to Kingpin."

The black man cursed in dissatisfaction.

But they were unaware that the shadow of death was approaching from behind.

Felicia walked in the darkness without making a sound.

She was like a cat approaching its prey, nimble yet ruthless.

The next moment, the claws tore through the air and instantly grabbed at the black man's gun-wielding arm.

"Ah!!!"

The intense pain caused the black man to scream, drawing the attention of the other gang members.

"What's wrong?"

One of them asked in a hurried and fearful voice.

When the flashlight beam shone on them, all that could be seen was the black man clutching his arm, the ground covered in blood.

Everyone immediately panicked.

However, their fear did not last long.

Because Felicia took care of everyone in an instant.

She didn't kill anyone, but she cruelly broke everyone's arms and limbs.

Hardy frowned slightly.

Felicia's cruelty at this moment was somewhat unexpected. He suspected that the side effects of the serum had not been completely eliminated, but were just not as severe.

However, he didn't dwell on it too much.

For Felicia, being too kind is actually a bad thing.

But in reality, the serum is now perfect.

Felicia's current personality is not caused by the serum, but rather by the influence of the Totem.

She was destined to become Black Cat, and the Black Cat Totem had long been locked onto her.

However, unlike Spider-Man, whose Totem is inherent, Felicia was only affected by the Totem and was not seriously harmed.

"Well done, Felicia."

Walter Hardy stood up calmly.

He turned on the backup power, and it was at this moment that he truly saw the changes in his daughter.

"I feel full of energy right now."

Felicia clenched her fist excitedly.

The original Black Cat's combined strength was less than a ton, but after using the serum that Ben customized for her, Felicia's stats improved significantly.

He's no worse than Captain America.

"It seems the serum was very effective. From now on, you are the real Black Cat."

Hardy said with satisfaction.

Hearing her father's encouragement, Felicia was delighted and immediately asked:

"Dad, who is Kingpin?"

Why did he arrest you?

"Kingpin the Underground Emperor of New York City. The reason he wanted to capture me was to get the serum formula," Hardy said.

Felicia frowned her beautiful eyebrows and said:

"Then he probably won't give up so easily."

"He's always been ruthless in achieving his goals. This time he's willing to arrest us for the serum; perhaps next time he'll target others to threaten us."

"Benny?!"

Upon hearing this, Felicia immediately pictured Ben's face in her mind.

Then she became even angrier.

Although Felicia knew perfectly well that Ben was Hacker Spider-Man, even if Kingpin really attacked Ben, he would only be asking for trouble.

But she just wouldn't allow that to happen.

"Kingpin!"

"Dad, I want to kill him!"

Hardy nodded, took out a cell phone and handed it to Felicia, then said:

"Actually, I've been collecting information on Kingpin along. Now that you've truly become Black Cat, I think this task can be entrusted to you."

Felicia glanced down at Kingpin's intelligence and was immediately astonished by the sheer size of Kingpin's power.

Not just New York, but the entire East Coast of the United States was Kingpin's sphere of influence.

Kingpin even has businesses in Japan.

"Kingpin's power is immense; it would be difficult for you to overthrow him alone. Perhaps you'll need to find an ally."

I know where I can find help.

Felicia smiled slightly, then pulled out a bright red lipstick from somewhere and applied it to her lips.

Then, she moved like a nimble cat, leaping three or four meters high with a light leap, her sharp claws embedding themselves in the wall, allowing her to crawl as if on it.

She leaped between skyscrapers, the night wind whistling past her ears.

Her long, silver hair danced gracefully like a goddess's ribbons.

She leaped, her supple body leaving a sensual silhouette beneath the silvery moon.

Felicia's direction of travel was naturally towards Queens.

This wasn't her first time here. She had come several times before when she was looking for Mary Benny, and after she became familiar with Mary Jane, she often came to see her as well.

Sometimes she would go looking for Ben with Mary Jane.

The relationship between the three people left Aunt May dizzy.

But this was Felicia's first time coming here as the Black Cat.

She landed lightly on the roof without making a sound. Thanks to Hardy's training, Felicia had a thorough understanding of her body and knew how to eliminate her own strength to make herself lighter.

Without alerting anyone, she skillfully reached the edge of Ben's window.

Mary Jane's room is right across the street.

Through the glass, she could see Mary Jane sleeping soundly.

Then Felicia smiled slightly and said without any apology, "Sorry, Mary Jane, I'll try it for you first."

Felicia intended to use her claws to cut the glass and open the window.

But to my surprise, the window wasn't locked at all.

She pushed open the window and, like a cat, ducked and jumped inside.

The room wasn't big.

Ben lay in bed looking as if he were asleep.

Felicia immediately became excited. She gently bit her lip and then walked lightly toward Ben.

She bent down and carefully examined Ben's sleeping posture.

The dream from before forcefully intruded into her mind again at this moment. Looking at Ben's face, Felicia couldn't help but gently bite her lip.

At that moment, Ben seemed to sense something, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.

Before he could even open his eyes, a gust of wind carrying a fragrance wafted over.

Felicia pounced on Ben like a predator, grabbing his hands and pinning him to the bed.

"Don't move, kid..."

Phil licked his lips, making his striking red lips look as if they were stained with blood.

"The Black Cat is ready to eat."

"Hmm..."
