Chapter 64: Planning to make some money
Time in class always goes by so fast. As for why, you can tell from looking at Harry and Peter who are soundly sleeping on the table, and Gwen who is a little confused after just waking up.
How can time go slowly if all the time is spent sleeping?!
"These two guys... Gwen, you haven't been to the band for a long time. Please, we are the main creators, and you let me support it alone..."
MJ looked back at the two people, one drooling in his sleep and the other snoring, with helplessness on his face. Then he whispered to Gwen who had just woken up beside him.
The band MJ was referring to is the girl's band formed by Midtown High School. In the past two years since its formation, it has participated in various band competitions in the city and achieved considerable success!
And Gwen is the drummer in the band!
"I think... I probably won't have much time to go to the band recently..."
Gwen said with a headache.
On the one hand, she has to become Spider-Woman to protect the local law and order, and on the other hand, she has to study the career she loves. She has no choice but to choose the former.
"Eh?!"
"You're not going to fall in love and stop doing your work, are you?!"
MJ looked at her with some surprise. It was obvious that he and Harry were no different from usual after they confirmed their relationship. These two had been together all day for many years. How could they suddenly change? !
"That's impossible... We... haven't even been together yet..."
Gwen blushed and spoke a little unnaturally.
Although she already knew Peter's feelings, could she, a girl, really let herself point out such a thing? !
I don't know if this guy is stupid or just pretending to be stupid! How abominable!
"Should we wake these two up? School is almost over..."
"I don't think so. He will wake up naturally when the time comes. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. 3...2...1..."
As expected, Harry woke up on time as MJ counted down, but Peter was still sleeping soundly. It seemed that he was really exhausted from the previous battle...
Finally, Peter was also woken up, and the four decided to have dinner at Peter's house that night. Although Peter was the birthday boy today, it was inevitable that he might have cooked...
Who makes this guy cook so deliciously?!
……
MJ and Harry were preparing gifts so they didn't go home with Peter and the others after school.
Peter and Gwen also had some rare time to spend together alone.
The afterglow of the setting sun stretched the two people's shadows very long, and they just walked quietly.
"Oh, right, the gadget you asked for! This is electric spider silk, and this is an electronic pulse device. But it's better to adjust the parameters before using them. Last time I adjusted the parameters to the maximum, I almost broke my hand..."
As if remembering something, Peter took out a few things from his schoolbag and handed them to Gwen. Gwen naturally would not be polite with Peter. She took the two things and looked at them curiously.
Uncle Ben and Aunt May seemed to remember that today was Peter's birthday, so they went out to buy groceries together and told Peter to bring his friends along. But it would be better if they came back later, because there were too many groceries to buy. If they came back too early, no one would be home. So they might as well have some fun first...
The vehicles passing by on Franklin's bridge did not notice the black and red and black and white figure sitting above their heads.
"Peter, what have you always wanted to do after becoming Spider-Man?!"
"When I first became Spider-Man, I wanted to do everything and thought I could be a savior, but things were not as easy as I thought. Later, I gave up this ridiculous idea. How can you be a savior if you can't even protect the people around you?!" Peter said calmly, looking at the scar on his hand left by the electronic pulse.
"Did you change your mind because of Harry?!"
Gwen naturally knew how Peter got the scar on his hand. Because of Peter's recklessness, Harry now had to wear a prosthesis. She could naturally feel Peter's guilt. Before Peter revealed his identity, she simply thought that Peter was just worried about his good brother becoming such a horrible person...
"A little bit..."
The appearance of the Spider-Man duo has brought shock to New York City. Although all criminals are terrified of Peter, some people still put a bounty on the two Spider-Men, and the price on the dark web is not low!
There will always be reckless people under a big reward, not to mention that there is no shortage of people in this world who have twisted their personalities and turned into criminals because of super powers...
They are not necessarily weaker than Peter...
Peter knew that the Kingpin of this world wanted to get rid of him!
However, this guy's momentum and ability are much stronger than Kingpin of the Ultimate Universe. It is easy for him to rank second or third in New York, if not first.
A head-on confrontation is obviously not a wise choice...
After all, I have a lot of weaknesses, and it is impossible to take care of them all the time...
New York is a place of decadence and extravagance. Dreamers with beautiful dreams often come to this city to pursue their dreams. But once you discover the truth beneath the gorgeous appearance, you will find that this city is more likely to be a monster that eats people without leaving any bones.
And Hell's Kitchen is the sharpest fang of this monster.
Those dreamers whose souls have been worn out may choose to turn their lives around in Hell's Kitchen, although the hope is very slim.
There is a unique set of rules that are out of the law, and the strong prey on the weak. Gangs and various forces are intertwined and govern this area together, even including the resurgent Hydra.
As they say, chop off one head and two grow.
Even if you walk down the street in broad daylight, you might be approached by a hooded black man who points a gun to your head and asks you to borrow some money.
It's even scarier at night. Unless you want to die in a dark garbage dump, don't wander around Hell's Kitchen at night.
It just so happened that that was the territory controlled by Kingpin, but Peter knew that this was the development place for many novice heroes in the Marvel world!
Like The Punisher, Daredevil, or Spider-Man!
Peter put his phone in his pocket and said, "It's still early, do you dare to come with me to fight crime?!"
Gwen rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Hey, what you said is complete nonsense! But where are we going?!"
Peter pulled down his mask and said:
"I'm planning to go to Hell's Kitchen. You should know that we've been wanted, right?! And the want order was issued from there. I thought that instead of someone using our heads to exchange for money, we might as well steal some money to spend..."
After saying that, Peter swung across the Brooklyn Bridge on spider silk.
Looking at Peter's receding back, Gwen also pulled down her mask, put on her coat and hood, and said helplessly: "He really has unlimited energy..."
"Hey, wait for me!"
