Chapter 16: A Heart-to-Heart Between Two Girls! Jessica Gets Beaten Up Again!
"Alright, there's still one left here!"
Having dealt with the Rhino, Ye Li landed in front of Norman Osborn, grabbed him by the neck, and lifted him up, ready to take Gwen's kill.
Gwen, of course, couldn't stand by and watch him kill her classmate's father. "Black Spider, thank you for helping me again, but please don't act rashly. We should bring Osborn..."
Crack!
Before she could finish, Norman Osborn's head tilted to one side, and he was dead.
"You!"
Before Gwen could speak, Ye Li darted away.
She stomped her foot in frustration. "There it is again. Can't you let someone finish speaking?"
Ye Li still had his own style...
As Gwen was thinking about Ye Li,
Jessica ran over and asked her, "Gwen? Is that you?"
Jessica?
Seeing reporters swarming toward them, Gwen whispered, "It's me. Don't make a fuss. I'll get you out of here first."
She grabbed Jessica's waist, shot out a web that stuck to a building, and swung away from the crowd.
Between the high-rises.
Jessica: "Oh my god! It really is you, Gwen!"
Gwen took off her mask. "Surprised?"
Since she'd been found out, she decided to come clean. After all, Jessica didn't seem like an ordinary human either.
A few minutes later.
Jessica, held in Gwen's arms as they soared past the high-rises, still hadn't recovered. "So much has happened today, Gwen..."
Gwen smiled. "Yeah, I didn't expect you to have superpowers too~"
"Superpowers..."
Jessica reminisced about the past and began to tell her story with a hint of sadness.
"Maybe... It was after that car accident that I got these powers, but the price was losing all my loved ones..."
"I never knew what to do with this power. Maybe it's because I was lucky enough to meet my brother and live a carefree life again."
"Until you appeared, Gwen—or should I say Ghost Spider."
"If someone like you, a hero, had been there during the accident, the outcome might have been different."
"I think... maybe I can become a superhero too, so tragedies like mine don't happen again."
Gwen listened intently, and when Jessica finished, she gently said, "Jessica, Ye would be proud of you."
"Him?"
At those words, Jessica burst into laughter, the sadness slowly fading. "Come on I know my brother's personality too well. He doesn't care if I'm a superhero or not. If I cause him trouble, he'll still spank my butt!"
"Hehe~"
Gwen found the contrast in Jessica's tone when mentioning Ye Li amusing.
If she hadn't met Ye Li, Jessica might be a completely different person now.
Ye really is such a gentle person~
She was genuinely happy that her good friend had such a great brother.
...
Time flew by.
Lower East Side.
"Hey, Jessica!"
Ye Li was holding a phone with a photo of a pretty girl on the screen.
"I'm telling you, if you want to be a superhero, can't you at least be more prepared? I don't want my peaceful life disrupted."
Jessica, now dressed in a short black skirt, stood obediently, her fingers fidgeting nervously. She subtly swayed her hips, trying to shift her butt out of her brother's sight.
"Um, it was an accident, I didn't mean to~ It's all his fault, all because of that big rhino!"
Her eyes darted around. "Yeah, it's all his fault!"
"He's already been turned into scrap metal, and you're still trying to shift the blame?"
Ye Li scrolled through his phone and read aloud, "Ahem! According to reports, a clash between supervillains and superheroes occurred in Queens... Blah blah blah... Among them, the identities of Black Spider and Ghost Spider remain unknown. A girl calling herself the Lady Knight tripped during the fight, and her mask accidentally fell off..."
He emphasized the word "tripped." "Can you possibly be any dumber?"
"Wuuu~"
Jessica pouted and whined, dodging the topic. "Brother... I like you the most~"
Ye Li sneered, "Still trying to play cute and get away with it?"
Jessica closed her eyes, deciding to go all in.
She opened her arms and threw herself straight into Ye Li's embrace!
"Brother, I love you!"
It all came down to this moment!
"Hah, such a cheap trick!"
Ye Li smirked disdainfully, grabbed her, and with a quick twist, had Jessica lying across his knee.
Then, with practiced ease, he lifted her pleated skirt!
"Ah~ No, please!"
Smack!
