Riley: I was just being polite, why did you take it so seriously?!

Seeing the invaders, who had been so arrogant and domineering not long ago, now cowering like cowards, obediently kneeling and surrendering, even as they knelt, they didn't forget to carefully protect the two astronauts bound to their chests with spider silk. They were afraid that any sudden movement would aggravate the astronauts' injuries, causing them to be misunderstood as having ulterior motives and suffering a "warm welcome" from Riley.

Faced with this stark contrast, most people could smile to some extent, and they could understand the guy's situation.

Uncle Long and Jade, in particular, after witnessing Riley's latest feat, immediately began to silently mourn for Sheriff Black.

After learning about everything that happened tonight, Sheriff Black probably wants to be by Riley's side 24/7, doing everything in his power to eliminate and block any possibility that could lead Riley to turn to the dark side!

The only saving grace was that Sheriff Black's hair had completely fallen out during his years managing District 13.

Otherwise, given the series of events that have occurred recently, Sheriff Black is probably not only living in constant fear that some fool might try to cause trouble for Riley, but he'll also be facing the problem of significant hair loss.

"Pfft... I still prefer your previous unruly self. Why don't you go back to your old self?"

Meanwhile, seeing the intruder's obedient surrender, his face bruised and swollen from the black cat's relentless beating, his eyes narrowed to slits, Riley found it both amusing and disheartening. He realized that the guy's previous actions might not have been because he was bad, but simply because he was foolish, completely unaware of just how dangerous his actions were.

Given his size and strength, it would be impossible for an ordinary prison to hold him.

Riley then called District 13 and asked the agents on night duty to prepare a special cell for the "new guest" who was about to arrive.

Only then did he step forward a few paces, meeting the intruder's horrified gaze, and tear off the spider silk that was wrapped around the intruder.

So that the relieved invaders could, at Riley's signal, carefully lay the two astronauts flat on the ground and wait for military personnel to come and take them. Riley himself forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and obediently stayed by Riley's side, not daring to have any suicidal thoughts of taking the opportunity to escape.

"Very good, thank you all for making the trip tonight... Uncle Long, Xiaoyu, and I will take this big guy back to District 13 for a visit. Why don't you two come with us? The donuts in District 13 are quite delicious~"

Seeing the intruders cooperating so obediently, Riley nodded in satisfaction and quietly loosened his clenched fists.

Then, Riley, due to the age difference in their mental development, excessively spoiled and indulged Xiaoyu. With just a glance, he guessed what the radiant Xiaoyu was thinking, and without thinking, he picked her up and placed her on the intruder. He made the rampaging giant Xiaoyu's temporary mount.

Out of polite Chinese manners, he casually exchanged pleasantries with the black cat and the little snake.

After all, even if the two of them didn't know about the existence of District 13, they could understand from Riley's suggestive words that District 13 was an official law enforcement agency.

So no matter how you look at it, these two thieves certainly wouldn't do something as foolish as walking into a trap. Instead, they immediately realized that this was a more euphemistic way of announcing the end of their temporary team.

Unfortunately, Riley, who has been spending more time with Uncle Long and Xiaoyu lately and has become somewhat accustomed to communicating in Chinese, overlooked a very important issue...

That is, the polite language of the Chinese people...

Westerners would take it literally!

Look, here it is...

"Oh, really? Then I'll gladly accept your offer, handsome young man~"

As soon as Riley finished speaking, Little Snake, who was worrying about what reason to come up with to spend more time with Uncle Long after the incident was over, agreed without even thinking.

Without giving Riley any chance to explain, she naturally grabbed Uncle Long's arm, winked playfully, and continued speaking with a righteous air.

"Hey, Brother Long, when we get there, we won't know anyone, so you'll have to give them a proper introduction."

"Oh, okay, no... wait! There's a problem! You're a thief! If you come back to District 13 with us, aren't you afraid of getting arrested right away?!"

Faced with the snake's enthusiastic initiative, Uncle Long, who had been single for most of his life like his old friend Sheriff Black, tensed up and subconsciously echoed the snake's advances.

Only halfway through his sentence did Uncle Long belatedly realize who the beautiful woman embracing him was, and his eyes widened in shock. Like a drowning man grasping at a last straw, he hurriedly reminded Little Snake, hoping the other party would back down.

"Hey, can I take that as you being worried about me, Brother Long?"

However, once a snake sets its sights on its prey, it will only tighten its coils, and there is no reason for it to give up halfway.

Moreover, after witnessing Xiaoyu and the black cat's argument, the little snake realized the truth that hesitation leads to defeat, and she didn't want a rival to suddenly appear and compete with her for the innocent and silly boy in front of her.

Therefore, in response to Uncle Long's reminder, the little snake simply tucked its arms in and deliberately dribbled the ball into Uncle Long's arm, squeezing Uncle Long's arm and making him blush even more. Then, it turned to look at the black cat and began to defend itself, albeit unjustly.

"Don't worry, Brother Long. After all, the Pink Lion isn't in my hands right now. That means I didn't steal anything from the museum tonight. Since I didn't steal anything, how can you call me a thief? That's so hurtful!"

"Huh? There's such a saying? Is...that correct...?"

Under the relentless onslaught of the little snake, Uncle Long, who had long since lost his composure, was completely overwhelmed by the blatant sophistry that, at first glance, even seemed to make some sense. His mind went into complete chaos, and his CPU was overloaded.

Riley, who had been silently observing from the sidelines, couldn't help but cross his arms and sigh inwardly...

Although in the original story, the two didn't end up together...

But in this universe...

Uncle Long will most likely fall for the little snake's charms.

"Um, me too..."

Meanwhile, Black Cat witnessed Jade taking advantage of her age to try and get closer to Riley, but Riley, being so dense, actually treated Jade like a child and didn't realize anything was wrong.

As a woman herself, Black Cat could clearly see that Xiao Yu's true intentions were not what they seemed, and naturally, with her lips pursed and tightly pressed together, she felt the urge to accept Riley's "invitation."

"...Forget it, I won't go this time. I've been busy for so long, all I want to do now is go home and get a good night's sleep. So, I'll head out first."

"Of course, if you invite me out alone next time, I'd love to go on a date with you, Spider-Man~"

But halfway through the conversation, the image of an old man with white hair, who bore a resemblance to the black cat's true appearance, flashed through the black cat's mind.

Even though Black Cat was unwilling, he had no choice but to give up this good opportunity to get closer to Riley.

He then took the deformed metal briefcase off, tossed it to Riley, blew her a kiss, and left with a flirtatious remark.

Black Cat then took out a grappling hook gun from his waist and quickly left the scene.
