Pretty Good

"You should get some rest first."

Shen Fei seemed to have startled Jessica. She hurriedly got up and said, "This is my home. I'll get you some milk."

The effect of spending hundreds of thousands of dollars and having Shen Fei stage such a pitiful act was truly not bad.

Jessica, who had once been quick to anger, was now bustling around and constantly taking care of him.

"What about Matt?"

Shen Fei hurriedly asked, as though he were concerned about Matt.

"Other than gunshot wounds in his arm and thigh, he's fine everywhere else."

Jessica was more worried about Shen Fei. After bringing him back, she had seen that his entire body looked like a leaking sack. If his wounds had not kept healing—

She would have thought Shen Fei was about to die.

At that moment, the doorbell rang outside. Jessica quickly stood and said,

"I'm not very good at Eastern Cuisine, so I asked the neighbor next door to help me cook. I'm going to help her."

After Jessica left, Shen Fei muttered inwardly, She took the bait...

Though he did not understand women, based on the psychology he had been diligently studying lately, it seemed his two acts of feigned suffering had already left their mark on Jessica's heart.

Before long, he would be able to enjoy this delicious fruit.

Jessica had practically carried him and Matt out of Klaw's encirclement. If she had not been worried about him and Matt, she could have escaped on her own.

For him right now, this woman was still rather terrifying.

But the sweeter the fruit, the more time the farmer had to spend tending it.

As for villains, Shen Fei had come here only to become powerful. Women would only slow down his progress toward becoming stronger.

"Matt... I wonder if they succeeded."

Shen Fei's phone had long since been smashed, so he had no way to contact Klaw. He had already told Klaw to capture Matt while he kept Jessica occupied here.

And Matt had only been injured last night. On top of that, testing had shown that his equipment worked very well against Matt.

If they still could not capture Matt under those circumstances, then Klaw was far too useless.

Shen Fei lay in bed and rested for a while. A faint scent of alcohol lingered in the room, but it looked quite tidy. He had expected a drunkard's room to be filled with empty bottles.

"Shen, dinner's ready."

Jessica's voice came from outside. Shen Fei got up and discovered that his clothes had already been changed.

Fortunately, he had arranged this plan himself, so he had brought almost nothing with him.

While they ate, the elderly neighbor laughed and said it was her first time seeing Jessica sober and her house this tidy, making Jessica cover her face and beg her to stop talking.

After dinner, Shen Fei said, "The intelligence we received this time was false. We nearly got surrounded because of it..."

"I'm sorry." Jessica took a deep breath, her chest rising and falling.

The person who had supplied her with the intelligence had been one of her usual informants. She had never expected that informant to nearly get her killed.

"I'm fine. I'm Phoenix, after all. I was probably riddled with bullets yesterday, wasn't I? Yet I'm still fine. But Matt and you nearly got hurt.

Matt aside, I really wouldn't want to see you get hurt."

Jessica rolled her eyes at Shen Fei.

"If Matt heard that, he'd probably cry himself to death. So what do we do next? After this, Klaw will definitely be extremely wary of us."

"We'll just keep investigating. And Clinton has seemed rather unsettled lately. We should be more careful."

"Got it."

Before leaving, Jessica gave Shen Fei a hug, kissed him on the cheek, and whispered, "Give me a little time."

"Of course. A gentleman has always been tolerant toward ladies." Shen Fei touched his cheek. He had actually been taken advantage of.

I'm after your body, and you're after mine too, huh.

After leaving Jessica's apartment, Shen Fei returned to his own place. When he opened the door, no one was inside, but there was a sheet of paper and a phone on the table.

The paper was covered in strange writing. Shen Fei glanced at it.

He lit the paper with a lighter and tossed it onto the floor to burn.

He picked up the phone, left the room, and went downstairs. A taxi was already waiting for him. Shen Fei got directly inside. The driver put up the sign and did not ask where Shen Fei wanted to go.

He simply drove off.

Before long, the taxi stopped at an estate. The area was sparsely populated and expansive, considered a relatively remote part of Manhattan.

Shen Fei entered the estate, and Klaw came out of the house with a smile. "How did things go over there?"

"She took the bait. We'll be able to reap the harvest soon."

"That woman's abilities are truly terrifying. If it hadn't been for that blind man and you, she might have killed most of the people there!"

"Why else would I put so much effort into her?" The two chatted as they walked, while patrols occasionally passed around them.

After entering the estate, Klaw said, "I set up two laboratories underground. Logan and the person you wanted are both down there.

"That blind man was really formidable. Even with your equipment, he almost escaped.

"And quite a few people died."

"He's no simple man. But he hasn't reached his peak yet. As long as we find his weakness, taking him down will be easy."

The two continued talking as they headed underground beneath the estate.

Soon, they arrived at a laboratory. The moment they entered, they saw Matt lying unconscious on an operating table, with blood beside his ears.

"Just as you said, we turned it up to maximum power and deafened him!"

Klaw explained. There were also several people in the laboratory. Shen Fei put on a white coat and said, "Bring him in. It's time for me to work."

"Got it. The volunteer has already been prepared for you."

"With the potion, one person will be enough."

Soon, three assistants entered. Shen Fei said, "Inject him with the Phoenix Potion. I need to dissect his entire body!"

Because Daredevil was rather special, it was not merely his hearing that had been enhanced. His sense of smell, touch, and even that intangible instinct had all been strengthened...

So Shen Fei needed to dissect his entire body to see which organs had mutated before he could continuously experiment with using the potion to guide them.

Without Phoenix, even Matt might not be able to endure it.

Moreover, Shen Fei was still investigating the company that had caused Matt's mutation back then. Matt's mutation differed from the X-Gene. Though it had also changed him on a genetic level—

It could not be replicated through Gene Infection. Dissecting Matt now was first and foremost to understand why Matt possessed perception that was practically like cheating.

If he possessed that kind of perception and combined it with Spider-Man's Spider-Sense—

With the two combined, unless someone was vastly stronger than him, it would be nearly impossible for them to hurt him.

These were the two most crucial components of his God of Man—super reaction speed.

Matt, who had been injected with the Phoenix Potion, slowly woke up. Suddenly, he said, "Is that you, Shen?"

There seemed to be no surprise in his tone. He had already sensed who had arrived.
