No matter where, knowledge is always the primary productive force.
This is also why Hawk Dane didn't become a full-time assassin, but rather a part-time one during his school breaks.
Even when time is tight and tasks are heavy, it's still necessary to distinguish between primary and secondary.
When to study, when to earn money, these all require careful consideration.
However, Lorna didn't know Hawk Dane's thoughts; she simply felt that what Hawk Dane said last night made a certain amount of sense.
Although Lorna has only awakened the ability to change her hair color for now.
But what if she awakens the ability to control magnetic fields in the future?
What if she doesn't study well, and just as Hawk Dane said, she could easily reverse Earth's magnetic field and break Earth apart, but instead, she ends up like that foolish Magneto from Hawk Dane's story, a master of metal?
Lorna was sure that if that were the case, Hawk Dane would definitely laugh at her.
So…
To avoid being laughed at by Hawk Dane, Lorna listened to today's physics class very attentively, and even specifically went to audit an eleventh-grade physics exam in the afternoon.
Just then.
A car not far away honked.
Lorna turned her head to look, waved her hand, and then said to Hawk Dane inside the car, "Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore. There are leftovers from yesterday in the fridge; heat them up yourself. I'm leaving."
After speaking.
Lorna jogged all the way to the car that had just honked.
Hawk Dane looked on with a look of relief, watching his sister who finally understood that knowledge is power.
Wait a moment.
Hawk Dane raised an eyebrow.
That car, was it Zoe's car?
When did Lorna become friends with Zoe? Why don't I know?
Hawk Dane blinked, watching the car in front of him, which, after Lorna got in, sped directly out of the school gate, thinking to himself.
Never mind.
Hawk Dane shook his head, withdrew his gaze, started the car he was in, and also drove out of the school gate.
At 7:30 PM.
After Hawk Dane parked the car in a nearby parking lot, he had just walked to the entrance of the cinema when he saw Gwen Stacy, wearing a white jacket and a ponytail, looking around at the entrance.
"Gwen."
Hawk Dane called out, walking over, "I'm not late, am I?"
Gwen Stacy's eyes lit up as she saw Hawk Dane approaching.
A casual and well-fitting suit, worn by Hawk Dane, looked incredibly handsome.
Ever since she met Hawk Dane, Gwen Stacy had changed her opinion; suits weren't bad-looking, it just depended on who wore them. They looked great on Hawk Dane, but if worn by her father…
Gwen Stacy thought of her father wearing a suit and found it somewhat unbearable to look at.
"Here."
"Thank you."
Hawk Dane handed Gwen Stacy a cup of hot cocoa he had just bought at the intersection, "Shall we go in then?"
Gwen Stacy nodded.
Just as Hawk Dane was about to take Gwen Stacy to line up for tickets to watch the movie, a surprised voice came from behind: "Gwen?"
Gwen Stacy, standing beside Hawk Dane, turned her head to look.
Not far away, a girl who looked somewhat similar to Gwen Stacy, with a vibrant and lively demeanor, was looking at Gwen Stacy with surprise, waving and squeezing her way towards them.
Gwen Stacy was stunned.
"Jill?"
"Jill?"
Hawk Dane, beside her, raised an eyebrow.
The next second.
The girl Gwen Stacy called Jill had already run up to Gwen Stacy and hugged her with great surprise: "It really is you, Gwen. I thought I saw wrong just now."
Gwen Stacy's expression, while being hugged by Jill Stacy, was a little stiff. She looked at Hawk Dane, who was casting an inquiring gaze, and opened her mouth, saying, "Jill, my cousin."
Cousin?
Hawk Dane also showed a hint of curiosity; he knew Gwen Stacy had three younger brothers.
But a cousin?
Does she?
"Alright."
Jill Stacy released Gwen Stacy, then her gaze fell on Hawk Dane beside them, winking at Gwen Stacy: "I knew it! Why did you take two movie tickets yesterday? I was waiting for you to ask me to go with you, but I didn't expect you to ask someone else."
Oh my goodness, Gwen Stacy has a boyfriend.
Does George Stacy know about this?
Jill Stacy said, curiously observing Hawk Dane, but seeing no injuries on Hawk Dane, she thought George Stacy definitely didn't know about this.
Hmm, wait a minute.
I've got Gwen Stacy's secret!
Jill Stacy's eyes lit up, and she suddenly thought of something, reaching out to Hawk Dane: "Hello, I'm Jill, Jill Stacy, Gwen Stacy's cousin."
Hawk Dane glanced at Gwen Stacy, whose face was full of complex emotions, smiled, and shook hands with Jill Stacy: "Hawk, Hawk Dane, Gwen Stacy's classmate."
Still a classmate?
There's only one movie showing at this cinema tonight.
Chemical Romance!
Would classmates come to see this?
Jill Stacy blinked: "Just classmates? Really? I don't believe it."
Hawk Dane smiled politely and said nothing.
Seeing this, Gwen Stacy, who was beside him, directly slapped away Jill Stacy's hand, which was still holding Hawk Dane's: "Alright, why are you here?"
Jill Stacy was stunned and looked at Gwen Stacy: "Cousin, don't forget those two premiere tickets were given to my dad. You took both of them, so I had to ask my dad for two more. If you can bring a boyfriend, why can't I?"
Saying that.
Jill Stacy turned her head and waved to the back, and then a high school boy who had been standing behind them walked over.
"This is my boyfriend, John."
Jill Stacy generously introduced the approaching high school boy, then winked at Gwen Stacy: "This is Gwen, my cousin, and this is my cousin's boyfriend, Hawk Dane."
Gwen Stacy opened her mouth: "Hawk and I…"
Before she could finish.
Another voice came from behind.
Full of vigor.
"Jill?"
A man in plain clothes, but whose demeanor immediately revealed him to be a Detective or higher from the New York Police Department, walked through the crowd with three police officers behind him, arriving in front of Hawk Dane and the others.
Jill Stacy and Gwen Stacy looked at the newcomer and were slightly stunned: "Detective Hayes?"
The newcomer was Detective Bob Hayes of the New York Police Department.
He was at the same rank as Gwen Stacy's father, George Stacy, and also a good friend.
"Gwen?"
Bob Hayes was also somewhat stunned to see Gwen Stacy suddenly appear there, then he shook his head, remembering the real reason he was there, and said sternly to Jill Stacy beside Gwen Stacy: "Jill, you must come back with us."
Jill Stacy opened her mouth: "Why, Detective Hayes? I asked my mom for permission to come out tonight. I'm here to watch a movie…"
Bob Hayes looked around and lowered his voice: "No, you must come back with me. We have received confirmed intelligence that Arthur Stacy, along with you and your mother, may be in danger recently. Someone has hired assassins to hunt you down."
Jill Stacy's eyes widened: "What?"
Gwen Stacy also seemed somewhat disbelieving.
Hawk Dane: "…"
