Director George pulled out a band business card that Gwen had given him and handed it to Felicia.
"I can't help too much, but my daughter's friend, Jessica, you should know her.
That girl is quite popular at school right now; if you join her band, maybe you can raise some money with her popularity…"
At this point,
George felt like he couldn't make up any more excuses, so he left, claiming he had other matters to attend to.
..
"..."
Looking at the business card in her palm, Felicia thought for a moment, then tucked it into her backpack.
However, on the way home,
her heart was wavering.
The school band wouldn't earn much money, far too little compared to the amount needed to reduce her father's sentence…
Felicia didn't know—
her father's trouble was much bigger than she imagined.
Chapter 55: Coveted by All Sides, Police Station Attacked! An Angry Gwen!
...
"The news is accurate; this is an opportunity…"
A mountain-of-flesh-like figure sat on a luxurious chair, his expression not very good.
Or rather, ever since his super-criminal subordinates were "baptized" by Black Spider,
Kingpin had not been in a good mood.
It made it difficult for him to spare men when he needed to deal with street heroes who disrupted his business.
Sometimes, he even had to personally resolve matters.
What kind of situation was it when a behind-the-scenes boss had to personally act as a thug?
However, he recently found a way to resolve this dilemma—the experimental formula and serum recipe from the "Super Soldier Project" of yesteryear!
That's right, it was the "Super Soldier" project that created Captain America.
It was in the mind of that great thief called Lynx!
If he could obtain it,
he would have an endless supply of superhuman subordinates.
Even Black Spider wouldn't be a concern!
Kingpin issued an order to his subordinates, "Notify Otto, I've given him the experimental funds he requested; make sure he captures Lynx for me!"
...
Police Station.
Not long after Felicia left,
several men in black suits arrived before Director George.
"FBI? You want to take Walter Hardy away?"
George confirmed their Agent badges were real, then looked at them strangely, "This doesn't seem to be within your jurisdiction?"
"We have relevant document authorization."
The men in black suits, who claimed to be "FBI" but were actually S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents, showed their proof. "Director George, you'd best be quick; we're in a hurry."
"I need to confirm."
George, of course, wouldn't simply let someone be taken away so easily; after all, they had worked hard to catch him.
But just then—
"Someone's breaking them out of jail!!"
A shout came from the police station's temporary suspect detention area, accompanied by some chaotic sounds.
Before George could act, several men in black suits ran towards the area first.
One of the Agents reported into his earpiece.
[Officer, something's happened! Someone is attacking the police station; they must be after 'Lynx'!]
[You hold them off at the scene; we will immediately send reinforcements. If you are outmatched, continue tracking the information.]
[Yes!]
… …
Midtown High School, library.
By a window seat,
the beautiful blonde girl rested her chin on her hand, flipping through the pages of the book in front of her, but her gaze gradually shifted from the book to outside the window.
The clouds drifting across the blue sky, in her eyes, seemed to slowly transform into someone's face.
Ever since that time,
she and Ye Li had been inseparable.
A day apart felt like three years.
"Gwen! Gwen!"
A hand suddenly landed on Gwen's shoulder, shaking her vigorously. "Gwen, stop daydreaming!"
"Jessica, what are you doing?"
Gwen was shaken so hard by Jessica that her Spider-Sense flared. She said irritably, "Who's daydreaming? I'm reading. Don't shake me."
"Hehe~ Who reads while staring blankly out the window?"
Jessica giggled, exposing her. "Only one day apart, and you miss Li so much~ Gwen is so naughty!"
Gwen: ?
"How am I… You're talking nonsense again!"
"Hmm…"
Jessica tapped her finger on her lips, slightly raised her chin, and rolled her eyes upwards, pretending to recall.
"Remember who it was…
I'm here, and you're still twisting your waist~"
Ever since she caught Gwen in the act, Jessica often used this to tease her.
"You're still talking!"
Gwen angrily moved to seal Jessica's mouth with Silk. "You were also just one step away from truly becoming a Female Knight!
You naughty, sneaking sister, actually seducing your older brother! I haven't even settled the score with you yet!"
Just yesterday,
Jessica's matter was also discovered by her!
Fortunately, Ye Li decisively made them true "comrades," which finally put the matter to rest…
"Uh… this…"
Knowing she was in the wrong, Jessica blushed from the counterattack. "…Alright, alright, let's not talk about that…"
She remembered the important matter and quickly showed Gwen her phone screen. "Skye sent a message, Gwen, your dad's old place was raided!"
"?"
Gwen confusedly took the phone and then understood what Jessica meant.
In the video, a wack with four mechanical tentacles on his back was wreaking havoc in the police station.
The tentacles were agile, extremely powerful, and occasionally shot out beams of light. The police Officers couldn't resist at all.
A few men in black suits used some high-tech gadgets and managed to hold the wack for a while.
"A super-criminal actually dared to attack the police station…"
Gwen lightly bit her lip, her brows furrowed. "That's too bold… I have to help!"
Concern made her reckless; she worried something might happen to her father and anxiously moved to the changing room to put on her uniform.
"Wait a minute, Gwen!"
Jessica pulled her back and quickly said, "Skye said that Li had friends make some equipment for us, and told us to go back to the Club to pick it up first."
"Equipment? Then let's go quickly!"
Gwen didn't even think, pulling Jessica up in return, clearly trusting Ye Li very much.
