Beaten Up So Badly!

In the dim homeless shelter, Gwen, like a ghost, made her way straight up to the ceiling.

Then, using several beams, she lightly landed atop them.

Whoosh!

She pressed her hands together and struck Spider-Man's standard web-shooting pose at a gang member.

Two web strands shot out at once, hoisting the man up and hanging him from the ceiling.

"Ah!"

But the Devil's Gang members were hardly mute or deaf.

The man who had been snagged screamed at the top of his lungs. Though Gwen knocked him out the moment she grabbed him, it was already too late.

"What's going on?"

"Who is it?!"

"Turn on the lights! Hurry!"

The remaining men were instantly alerted and finally thought to turn on the lights.

Gwen inwardly cursed her bad luck and leaped down while they were turning them on.

Her web latched onto a fat man, and she yanked herself straight toward him.

Bang!

She rewarded him with a flying kick straight to the face.

The fat man hit the ground with a thud, his eyes shut tight as he passed on peacefully.

Gwen might have been a woman, but after being bitten by that spider, her body had undergone drastic changes. Her physical abilities had been enhanced across the board.

She had tested it before. Lifting several tons was effortless for her, while a dozen or so tons took some effort.

So, rounding things up, she should probably be able to drag twenty tons.

That was why she always held back when hitting people!

She was afraid that one punch might send someone's skull flying.

Taking advantage of the darkness, Gwen quickly continued her attack.

She made full use of her webs, either throwing people off balance or using them to launch herself at them.

Thump!

By the time the lights came on, Gwen had already taken down four or five people.

The remaining Devil's Gang members finally saw her.

"It's Ghost-Spider!"

"Open fire!"

A burly man wearing a distinctly different mask shouted.

Ghost-Spider had become quite famous in New York lately, so even gangsters recognized her.

They only wanted to catch Ghost-Spider, pull off her mask, and see whether this curvy superhero was as pretty as she looked!

But clearly, they were not going to manage it.

Rat-a-tat-tat!

They opened fire, but Gwen was incredibly agile. Her Spider-Sense allowed her to predict the line of fire.

Then she pulled off an astonishing feat of dodging bullets.

Along the way, she used her webs to grab a chair and hurl it at them.

Then she used webs to stick directly to their guns.

These little lackeys were no match for her at all.

Rat-a-tat-tat!

Mr. Negative, who was packing up documents in his office, immediately looked up when he heard the gunfire.

"What's going on?"

He hurriedly gathered everything, stuffed it into a bag, and deliberately staged the scene to look like a robbery.

These things were important. He could not let that buyer know he had taken them on purpose.

He came down from the second floor and entered the first-floor hall.

This hall was where many homeless people rested, so it still carried a certain smell even now.

But Mr. Negative paid it no mind. He looked toward Ghost-Spider, who was beating up his subordinates in the middle of the hall.

"We haven't provoked you. Why are you causing trouble for us?"

Mr. Negative asked in a low voice.

"You are provoking me just by being here."

Gwen finished off the others and finally vented some of her frustration.

"Hmph. A little girl trying to play hero."

Judging from her voice, Mr. Negative could tell she was young.

Just as Gwen was about to retort, she sensed that something was wrong.

Mr. Negative vanished right before her eyes.

Then, countless shadowy enemies appeared around her!

"What is this?"

Gwen was instantly shocked.

She felt a negative force affecting her, making her increasingly irritable, and she was quickly losing control.

She immediately charged at the shadowy enemies and began striking them without pause.

Bang!

Whenever she hit one of them, it scattered like smoke.

And their numbers kept growing.

Gwen was suddenly trapped among them.

Outside the illusion, Mr. Negative let out a breath of relief.

The moment he appeared, he had released Negative Energy and quietly influenced Ghost-Spider.

Luckily, she had not been on guard.

"Get up and move, all of you!"

He no longer wanted to deal with Ghost-Spider and instead ordered his men to get up and leave immediately.

Gwen was still too kind.

If Batman had been here, the people lying on the ground definitely would not have been able to get back up.

Batman never killed people. He only left them permanently disabled!

Mr. Negative moved past Ghost-Spider. The New York police would arrive soon, so he had to leave quickly.

But at that moment, Gwen lunged straight at him.

Mr. Negative reacted quickly, immediately turning around with an uppercut!

Gwen hurriedly dodged and fell to the side.

She had already broken free.

Her mental strength was fairly strong, and besides... she only needed to defeat every last shadow person!

"Let me have some fun with you!"

Mr. Negative handed the things in his hands to one of his subordinates, then cracked his neck and clenched his fists as he looked at Ghost-Spider.

Gwen had no choice but to watch the Devil's Gang members get into their vehicles and leave first.

She could only move toward Mr. Negative.

The two immediately began fighting.

Mr. Negative was no ordinary person. Like Gwen, he had mutated.

He had once been set up and subjected to drug experiments, which had turned him into what he was now and created another personality within him.

After becoming Mr. Negative, his physical abilities had been enhanced across the board. He possessed strength and speed beyond ordinary people, and he had later learned street fighting.

Street fighting was not like what happened in the ring. It was far more vicious, with every move aimed to kill.

Even Gwen found herself evenly matched with him for a time.

But she still found an opening and kicked Mr. Negative in the face, her high heel slicing straight through his skin.

"Aaargh!"

"Bitch!"

The enraged Mr. Negative roared and flung Gwen away.

He grabbed Gwen and gave her a savage beating.

Unable to dodge, Gwen took several hits head-on.

Just then, police sirens sounded outside.

Woooo! Woooo! Woooo!

Mr. Negative immediately came to his senses. He stopped bothering with Ghost-Spider and quickly left.

The New York police had responded quickly. From receiving the emergency call to arriving at the scene, it had taken no more than three minutes.

Clutching her abdomen, Gwen staggered outside and saw her father arriving with his officers.

"Ghost-Spider. You again."

George Stacy looked at her with a terrible headache.

In the police's eyes, Gwen was a vigilante. George deeply disliked vigilantes and had even wanted to arrest her.

But he had no way to do so. Gwen never gave him the chance.

Just like now, Gwen forcibly changed her voice. "Captain, you're late. The criminals got away."

"You're the criminal!"

Captain George glared at Ghost-Spider.

He had no idea whose daughter she was, but she was such a troublemaker.

If she were his daughter, he would definitely give her a proper lesson!

After saying that, Gwen leaped up and swung away on her webs. She had been beaten up so badly!
