The three of them traveled to Manhattan in a luxury car. Along the way, Pamela gazed excitedly out the window, filled with anticipation for the shopping trip ahead.
Venom quietly leaned against Kino, enjoying this moment of peace.
When they arrived in Manhattan, they were stunned by the bustling sight before them. Skyscrapers towered everywhere, the streets teemed with people, and all kinds of shops displayed a dazzling array of goods.
Pamela eagerly pulled Kino into a fashionable clothing store.
She picked out all kinds of beautiful clothes, occasionally asking Kino for his opinion.
Kino patiently accompanied her and offered his own suggestions.
Although Venom was not very interested in shopping, Pamela's enthusiasm was infectious. From time to time, she would pick up a piece of clothing and see whether it suited Kino.
The two beauties naturally attracted their share of approaches, but whenever anyone came near—
Frank stared at him with the look of someone watching a dead man, one hand resting behind his waist. Without saying a word, the other person turned around and left.
No matter how beautiful someone was, it was still not worth risking his life.
After buying their clothes, the four decided to try some of the local cuisine.
As they passed an alley, Kino noticed a figure in the corner.
A beggar?
Why was he hiding in an alley instead of staying on the main street?
"What's wrong, darling?"
Pamela noticed Kino spacing out and asked.
"There's someone in that alley." Kino spoke as she strode lightly into the alley.
She walked over to the figure. The person lay motionless on the ground, seemingly unconscious.
His clothes were tattered, and a metal collar encircled his neck. His face was covered in grime, making his features impossible to discern. The only clear detail was his black hair.
"Kino, you're not planning to take him back for sex again, are you?"
Venom suddenly spoke.
"Stop joking around. I'm not some lecherous demon."
Kino rolled her eyes helplessly.
"Darling, if you want to play like that, I can let you pick someone up again." Pamela joked.
"You'll get an eyeful tonight."
Frank stood guard at the alley entrance, keeping anyone from coming in.
Kino grabbed the metal collar and tore it off effortlessly, casually tossing it aside.
After the metal collar disappeared, the man slowly came to. However, his body was far too weak, and he lacked the strength to speak.
"You came from a mutant laboratory, didn't you? Don't worry, I mean you no harm. Go to Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. They'll protect you."
After saying that, Kino took the loose cash from her pocket—several thousand dollars in all.
"Venom, Pamela, let's go."
Kino took both women by the hand and left the alley.
The figure in the alley watched her back as she departed. He picked up the money from the ground, then left the alley while supporting himself against the wall.
As they walked along the main street—
"How did you suddenly develop a charitable streak?"
Venom suddenly asked.
"Maybe it's the spare time that comes with being powerful! When I suddenly gained this much strength, I initially only wanted to protect myself. Now I want to find something else to do to pass the time.
"I don't want to be shackled by righteousness like Spider-Man. I'd rather be like Little Rascal—keep my bottom line, but not mind doing a good deed now and then." Kino said.
"To put it simply, you want to show off when you feel like it, and when you don't, you don't want anyone disturbing you." Venom hugged Kino's arm.
"Hahaha, that's exactly it."
Kino laughed aloud. No wonder Venom was the person in the world who understood her best.
"Darling, who's this Little Rascal you mentioned? Is he your friend?"
Pamela asked curiously.
"Friend, I suppose! He's pretty interesting, just very long-winded."
Thinking of Deadpool, Kino wondered whether Wade had started the experiments yet.
"Kino."
A surprised voice came from nearby.
Kino turned to look.
It was George Stacy, accompanied by two others who appeared to be his wife and child.
"Good evening, Uncle George."
Kino greeted him politely. Although they did not know each other now, their future relationship should be quite good.
"Mm. It's a day off, so I brought Gwen out to have some fun. Who are they?"
George looked at the two women in Kino's arms. They were both exceptionally beautiful, and their relationship with Kino was clearly intimate.
"They're my lovers, Venom and Pamela." Kino answered naturally.
"...Two lovers."
George's mouth twitched. Kino had seemed so honest before, yet he had never expected the boy to be such a player. George was even a little envious.
The blonde girl beside him also widened her eyes in surprise.
"Little Kino, have you really lost your memory? I'm Aunt Mary."
George's wife stepped forward with concern. She did not care how many lovers Kino had; that was simply how things were here.
"Sorry, Aunt Mary." Kino said.
Mary smiled gently. "It's all right, child. I hope you recover your memories soon."
The blonde girl walked over and looked at the two beauties beside Kino, her tone carrying a hint of resentment.
"You forgot me too."
"Uh, sorry."
Although she had no idea why, Kino instinctively apologized first.
"Is that all you know how to say? My name is Gwen. Don't forget again."
After saying that, Gwen looked at Venom and Pamela and spoke with open hostility.
"I won't give up."
George's expression turned ugly. How could this not be obvious?
Someone had stolen his cabbage.
"What did you do to my daughter?"
"Dad, let's go!"
"Little Kino, come visit us when you have time."
After George's family left—
"Looks like we're getting another sister." Venom teased.
"It's good to have someone else share the burden."
Pamela thought of last night, and her waist nearly broke just remembering it.
They arrived at an upscale restaurant and ordered their meals.
After wandering around all day, the four enjoyed dinner together.
Although Frank was a butler, he was practically family.
As he looked at the night view outside the window—
"What a peaceful city."
Pamela sighed.
Unlike Gotham, where robberies and drug deals were everywhere.
The next second—
Aaaaahhh~
A sedan flew past the window. The female driver inside let out a terrified scream, while a child sat in the back.
In an instant, Kino rushed outside and caught the sedan securely, gently setting it on the ground.
"You're safe now."
"Aaaaaaaaah~"
The female driver was still terrified, her foot still pressing the accelerator as white smoke poured from the tires.
Kino could only lift the car up again.
"Hey, woman, shut up!!!"
After a furious roar, the woman finally quieted down.
"Think about your child. Stay calm."
"Mmm... thank you."
The woman was forced to calm down. She stopped the car, then carried her daughter away from the scene.
Back upstairs—
"..."
Kino, Venom, and Frank silently stared at Pamela.
What kind of jinx was this?
Pamela smiled awkwardly. "Th-this was just a coincidence."
"Forget it. Let's go take a look!"
On the neighboring street—
The Gatling gun mounted on an armored vehicle spat flames. Dense bullets lashed out like a whip, pouring into the center of the street.
A massive figure more than three meters tall stood there. His muscles were hard as iron, his skin either green or gray, and his body was covered in rough textures and raised lumps.
His facial features were twisted. A pair of red eyes revealed evil and madness. His mouth was large and wide, and he bellowed and roared.
Abomination was now online.
