Ghost-Spider, could you sign an autograph for me?"
A young Police officer looked at Gwen with a face full of admiration, his eyes sparkling with excitement.
Compared to Spider-Man, Ghost-Spider had more fans, with the majority being male.
"Of course."
Gwen took the pen and paper handed to her by the Police officer and fulfilled her fan's small wish.
After signing, Gwen went to the corner where she had been earlier, picked up the handbag she had retrieved, and handed it to the Police officer.
"These are the stolen funds Sandman took; you can check them."
"Alright, thank you for your hard work!" The Police officer took the handbag and said solemnly.
However, he didn't notice that the sand around the construction site was also constantly trembling, slowly being drawn into the tornado.
At first, no one paid attention; everyone was focused on discussing the plan for dealing with Sandman.
But the tornado gradually spun out of control; the originally stable wind column began to shake violently, and the whistling sound became increasingly sharp.
"He's coming out; you all need to leave quickly."
As soon as Gwen finished speaking, a ten-meter-tall Sand Giant broke free from the tornado, and the powerful airflow kicked up dust all around.
"I told you, give me the money!"
The Sand Giant roared, raising his two massive fists high, then slamming them down fiercely.
A huge Shadow instantly covered Gwen and the Police officers, creating a suffocating pressure.
The Police officers were so terrified by this horrifying scene that their legs trembled; their faces turned pale, and they wanted to escape but couldn't move.
Gwen herself could, of course, run without a problem; with her abilities, she could instantly flee the area.
But the Police officers beside her would definitely be crushed into a pulp by the heavy impact of that giant fist.
"Hope it doesn't hurt too much."
Gwen crouched slightly, tensed her legs, and then leaped up suddenly.
An airflow instantly formed beneath her, providing acceleration, and she shot towards the Sand Giant in the sky like a cannonball.
Gwen and the giant fist got closer and closer; she gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and prepared to meet the immense impact.
"Seriously, can't you be a little more careful with yourself?"
A helpless voice came from beside her, and Gwen felt an arm wrap around her waist, followed by a gentle force that cleverly dissipated her forward momentum.
Boom!
A loud bang echoed through the sky, and the giant fist above instantly exploded, turning into a sky full of sand and dust.
A powerful punch wind roared out like a raging beast, fiercely blowing the scattered sand far away, forming a hazy sand curtain.
The impact from the exploding arm caused the Sand Giant's massive body to lose balance and crash backward, leaning against the half-built house, making a dull thud and kicking up a cloud of dust.
"Qinuo!"
Gwen exclaimed in surprise, her eyes filled with excitement and joy.
The Police officers on the ground stared up at the sky in a daze, their mouths slightly open, their eyes filled with shock and awe.
A golden cape fluttered wildly in the wind, like burning flames.
The armor emblazoned with an "S" gleamed with a cold light, showcasing an unparalleled sense of power in his perfect physique, and his handsome face seemed to have been meticulously sculpted by a god.
Even if they had never seen his true face, they knew who he was.
"Demon King!"
A Police officer couldn't help but shout the name, his voice trembling with fear.
Unlike Spider-Man, because of Qinuo's ability to summon demons and his actions that nearly destroyed a country, most people only felt fear towards him.
Qinuo slowly descended from the sky, his feet gently touching the ground, he released his hand, and with a smile, looked at Gwen, who was still leaning in his arms, his eyes full of doting affection.
"How about we go home now and you can lean on me all you want?" Qinuo teased, his voice gentle and magnetic.
"Okay... No, when did you get back?"
Gwen instinctively replied at first, then came to her senses, her pretty face flushed, and she quickly left Qinuo's broad, warm embrace.
"Just got back yesterday. We can chat later; things aren't over yet." Qinuo looked at the Sand Giant, who had risen again.
The Sand Giant absorbed the surrounding sand, quickly repairing his body; having just come out of prison, he was unaware of the Demon King's existence.
"Why is everyone trying to stop me!? I'm only taking a little money, not all of it!"
The Sand Giant roared furiously, his voice filled with unwillingness and resentment.
"Who cares about that? I'm here because you almost hurt my girl." A light ignited in Qinuo's eyes.
"Buzz!"
Heat Vision shot out instantly, the dazzling red light striking the Sand Giant's body like a sharp sword.
The Sand Giant's body turned into scorching glass the moment it came into contact with the red light.
"Ah ah ah!"
Flint screamed in pain, manipulating the sand to form a wall while trying to repair his body.
However, as the construction site's sand ran out, Flint could only use the sand from his own body to block the attack, and his enormous body continuously shrank.
On the construction site, scorching red glass liquid flowed, emitting a searing high temperature.
The surrounding Police officers wiped the sweat from their foreheads, not daring to leave.
Soon, Flint's body was less than five meters in size.
"Penny, Daddy will bring you lots of money for your treatment right away!"
A fierce and desperate look flashed in Flint's eyes; with only about a meter of sand left in his body, he quickly combined all the sand with the glass on the ground to form a shield, pushing forward with difficulty against the Heat Vision, inch by inch.
Penny?
His voice was caught by super hearing.
Qinuo remembered that one version of Sandman robbed to get money for his daughter's treatment.
The shield in his hand grew smaller and smaller, and just as Flint was about to despair, the Heat Vision finally disappeared.
"Chance..."
Frank dropped the almost melted glass in his hand, and just as he was about to rush over, his body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground, falling into a pile of sand. He had reached his limit.
"Is money that important to him?"
Gwen felt a little wistful; although he was an enemy, the courage he showed in charging towards Death was moving.
Qinuo did not answer, merely looking at the sand on the ground, picking up a pendant that contained a photograph.
"Family affection?"
The next second, he instantly vanished from his spot.
Before Gwen could wonder where Qinuo had gone, Qinuo reappeared in his original spot, carrying several bags of sand, which he poured onto the ground, forming a sand dune.
After a while, there was still no movement, as if he had truly died.
"Don't you want to see your Penny again?"
Qinuo's voice drifted over softly.
Flint, whose consciousness had already fallen into slumber, was instantly jolted awake by that sentence.
Penny!
I need to bring money back!
This thought flashed wildly in Flint's consciousness, and his almost dissipated will re-coalesced.
His obsession with his daughter stimulated his will to survive.
The sand dune on the ground trembled again, slowly beginning to coalesce into a human form.
The process of condensation was not smooth, collapsing repeatedly in the middle, but eventually, it successfully transformed into a human appearance.
"Why did you save me?"
Flint looked at the man in front of him with a complex expression; this person had almost killed him just now, yet now he had saved him.
