Chapter 89
Three Girls, One Show
Just when the trio from the Black Hand Gang became scapegoats for Uncle Long and his gang without even realizing it.
Let's turn to the other side of the story.
Riley, who had left earlier, intended to find a secluded corner, put on his Spider-Man suit, and use his incredible speed to reach the scene as quickly as possible to begin the rescue.
"Huh? You... how did you all get here...?"
Just as Riley placed his hand on his chest, preparing to activate his suit, the sound of footsteps behind him forced him to stop what he was doing and instinctively turn around to look.
Then, to his utter astonishment, he discovered that everyone had followed him without exception!
To be precise, it was within Riley's expectations that Uncle Long and Jade would follow.
After all, they both knew that Riley was Spider-Man, and Jade, who naturally loved to join in the fun, wouldn't just stay put because of a single sentence.
But the fact that the little snake and the black cat followed was really beyond Riley's expectations.
Could it be that even notorious thieves in this Marvel universe possess such a strong sense of justice?
"Of course I'm rushing to save people just like you, handsome young man... In my eyes, you're a unique treasure too. If anything were to happen to you, it would truly be a great loss to the world~"
Seeing Riley's surprised expression, Black Cat knew that he had made the right bet.
If I didn't choose to follow and instead left, my impression on Riley would definitely decline to some extent.
During their brief time together, the black cat, mistakenly believing that Riley was unaware of her true identity, tried to conceal "Felicia Hardy's" true identity as much as possible. She suppressed her pounding heart and, while using a affected, seductive tone, flirted with Riley. She then took a few steps forward and poked Riley's face a few times with her fingers.
She prayed that this image, so different from her usual self, would dispel any suspicion of "Felicia Hardy" being a good girl in Riley's mind.
Yes, of course, during this period, how many people, like Peter after he put on the mask, took advantage of their hidden true identities to gradually let loose and thus expose their true inner thoughts...
Who knows~
"Hey! Let go, you bad woman!"
Unfortunately, the black cat didn't have time to secretly rejoice for long before it felt itself being bumped by someone.
Looking down, they discovered that Xiaoyu had somehow appeared between the two of them. While preventing the black cat from probing further, she stood with her hands on her hips, speaking with an air of self-righteousness.
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking! You're definitely trying to steal the Serpent Talisman from Riley when he's not looking! Hmph!"
"Huh? What snake charm... My target is only this pink lion!"
"Tch, who knows if it's true or not? You can't believe a word that little thief says!"
Strangely enough, their words were quite telling.
Both being notorious thieves who steal treasures, Xiaoyu's view of Xiaoshe is that she's a "female version of Jackie Chan," and she thinks she's very cool.
I even subconsciously thought that the little snake and Uncle Long looked exceptionally well-matched standing together! They were simply a match made in heaven!
That's why they tried every means to bring the little snake over, creating more opportunities for Uncle Long to spend time together!
But when it was a black cat, Xiaoyu just couldn't stand the sight of it.
Especially seeing the black cat take the initiative to tease Riley made Xiaoyu feel inexplicably annoyed.
Before she could even process what was happening, Xiaoyu's body had already deliberately squeezed between the two of them, righteously accusing the black cat of "malicious intent"!
As soon as she finished speaking, the two girls, one big and one small, stared at each other intently, their tone thick with tension.
Amidst the exchange of glances and the flashing of swords, even someone as powerful as Riley couldn't help but have his spider-sense activated frantically.
I inexplicably felt a chill on my neck, and a black-and-white photo of a person whose name contained the character "诚" (chéng, meaning sincerity) appeared in my mind.
"Ah! Xiaoyu! What happened to you...!"
At the same time, although he had long been mentally prepared, knowing that Xiaoyu wouldn't stay still for long.
But when he saw Xiaoyu appear, Uncle Long, who had followed, couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and turn to look at the little snake that should have been watching Xiaoyu.
The latter, when faced with Uncle Long's question, simply shrugged and put on an innocent face, responding confidently.
"Oh, don't look at me like that, baby face. I am indeed keeping a close eye on her, just like you said—look, never leaving her side—but you didn't tell me where to watch her, did you? So you can't blame me for this~"
"Huh? That's clearly sophistry! You know perfectly well that's not what I meant!"
"Oh? So what do you mean? If you don't explain clearly, how are people supposed to know, Brother Long?"
"I...! Never mind, this isn't the time to talk about that, saving lives is the priority! Let's go, Riley!"
Unfortunately, like Riley, Uncle Jackie Chan, who has been single for most of his life, is also not good at dealing with girls.
Even though the little snake only moved a few steps closer so that Uncle Long could see more clearly the alluring curves beneath the tight-fitting clothes, Uncle Long's neck visibly turned red.
Without a second thought, he grabbed Riley, who was also in human-machine mode during the scene of the two women arguing "for no reason," and ran towards the George Washington Bridge as if fleeing.
However, they didn't notice at all that the little snake's gaze as it looked at Uncle Long's back was gradually becoming more meaningful.
During her years as a notorious thief, in order to successfully steal treasures, Little Snake naturally tried to use her beauty to lower the target's guard and create opportunities for herself to steal.
Therefore, the little snake was already used to the extremely aggressive and dark gazes that the opposite sexes showed when they saw it.
In comparison, Uncle Long seems like a breath of fresh air.
Not only in the museum, but also when they accidentally bumped into each other, there was no groping or inappropriate touching.
Nowadays, even glancing at them feels like a crime, making one blush with embarrassment.
This made the little snake, who was in a bad mood because the pink lion was snatched away by the black cat, suddenly show a playful smile.
"Missing out on a lion but encountering a dragon... this deal doesn't seem too bad?"
Fortunately, even though the presence of the black cat and the little snake prevented Riley from fully displaying his skills,
However, the George Washington Bridge is not too far from the museum. In addition, everyone's physical condition is more or less beyond the standard of "ordinary people".
Thus, in this strange atmosphere where he fled, she chased, and he had no way to escape.
It didn't take long for the group to reach the crashed spaceship.
However, just as everyone was preparing to enter the spaceship and begin the rescue operation, they discovered a strange, burly man with gray fur and sharp horns standing beside the spaceship.
Before anyone could figure out where this guy came from or what he wanted to do...
The burly man only took a few steps back briefly, giving himself time to run and accelerate.
The spaceship's sturdy hull was like fragile tofu in front of this running guy, easily smashed with a large hole!
The spaceship, which had finally managed to stabilize, also began to sway, as if it might fall off the bridge at any moment!
