He's still just a kid!
He hasn't stepped into society yet, hasn't experienced the harsh realities of this world.
...
While Luo Di and Gwen continued their date, completely oblivious to the situation over there...
Peter and Luke Cage, who had already run out of the alley, finally managed to shake off their pursuers.
For that, they had Peter to thank!
Luke Cage is a berserker.
If you tell him to charge into battle, he's very good at it!
But if you tell him to run away and escape pursuers, that's not his area of expertise.
Therefore,
If it weren't for Peter tonight, Luke Cage would definitely have been caught.
The outcome then would have been imaginable.
"We finally got rid of those guys!"
Peter landed on the ground with Luke Cage, he looked back and saw that the pursuers were no longer visible, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
"Cage Uncle, who exactly are those people?"
"And why are they chasing you?"
After escaping the pursuit, Peter couldn't help but ask curiously.
And when those pursuers were mentioned, Peter felt very uncomfortable.
He thought of the robber who was shattered into pieces again.
Peter felt very guilty.
Because that person was tied up by him, that's why he was killed.
Peter felt that if it weren't for him, that Mr. Robber would definitely not have died.
So he felt very bad inside!
"Peter, don't worry about this matter, I'll handle it."
Luke Cage didn't want Peter to get involved in such things, to be honest, he didn't even approve of Peter being a Superhero.
Because in Luke Cage's opinion, Peter is still just an underage kid!
He's only 15!
A young person this age should be studying hard, having parties with friends, or staying home playing games and such.
Luke Cage truly didn't think that fighting and killing, like what Superheroes do, was suitable for Peter at this age.
But unfortunately, Luke Cage wasn't anyone to Peter, and he had no right to educate Peter in this regard; all he could offer was a bit of advice.
As for whether he listened?
That was Peter's own decision.
So,
When Peter became Spider-Man, Luke Cage didn't say anything.
Even though he disapproved from the bottom of his heart.
But then again.
If Peter wasn't Spider-Man, then would he have been unable to escape tonight?
So, every cause has its effect, they are all related!
"Why? Cage Uncle, do you think I'm not strong enough?"
Peter was immediately displeased when he heard Luke Cage tell him not to inquire about tonight's events.
He still wanted to do something, not to say undo everything, but at least to bring the real bad guys to justice!
That way, he would feel better.
But the result!
Luke Cage actually told him not to get involved in this matter.
Peter was unhappy at that moment.
"You're still young!"
Luke Cage said.
Here we go again!
It's that 'you're still young' excuse again!
Peter pouted, completely unable to accept Luke Cage's point of view.
He was young, but being young didn't mean he couldn't handle things well!
"Cage Uncle, if it weren't for me tonight, you might not have escaped, so I don't think my age means I can't help you!"
Peter tried hard to argue, wanting to be involved in this matter.
But Luke Cage absolutely refused.
It was useless no matter how much Peter tried to persuade him.
He would never let the underage Peter take risks with him.
The other party was not a kind person, and they possessed such dangerous weapons.
Tonight they were lucky, so they escaped.
But what if their luck wasn't as good next time?
Luke Cage himself wasn't afraid of death, because every day he lived now was just penance.
But Peter was still young!
He still had a long future ahead!
He had a brighter future, and Luke Cage felt he couldn't harm this kid.
In the end, Peter also failed to convince Luke Cage to let him participate in the operation.
However, despite this, Peter still decided to secretly follow Cage Uncle, so even if Cage Uncle didn't agree to his participation, it would be useless!
Thinking of this, Peter couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up for his quick thinking.
...
In the study.
Harry put down the syringe in his hand, a painful expression on his face, as if a small mouse was scurrying wildly under his neck where veins protruded.
It took more than a minute for this situation to disappear.
And Harry also let out a long sigh of relief.
"I must speed up the research; the effect of this medicine is getting worse and worse!"
Harry looked at the syringe on the table, his brows furrowed involuntarily.
Just then,
His phone on the table rang.
Harry picked it up and answered.
After a moment—
"What did you say?!"
Harry suddenly stood up and shouted loudly, "Is the laboratory okay?"
Only after hearing that the laboratory was fine did Harry slightly relax.
But even so, the anger in Harry's heart continued to burn uncontrollably.
"What are you guys doing? You let someone break in, and they even got away!"
Harry roared at the person on the other end of the phone.
He couldn't help but be angry, because Professor Connors' research was key to curing his genetic disease.
If the experiment failed because someone broke in, Harry would definitely go crazy!
"You must find this person! I want to know who sent him!"
Harry said angrily.
The person on the other end of the phone repeatedly agreed, and then Harry hung up the phone.
Putting down the phone, Harry's face was still full of anger.
"Who could it be?"
He pondered over possible suspects.
...
PS: The fifth update is here!!!
Time for lunch! I'll be back to write more in the afternoon!!
Chapter 45: Luke Cage Exposed! Poison Squad Appears! [Seeking Fresh Flowers]
But Harry would never have imagined that the people he suspected were not involved in tonight's incident at all.
The true intruder was actually just Luke Cage, who had coincidentally heard that the Osborn Group was conducting genetic research and couldn't help but investigate!
And Harry had never heard of Luke Cage, so he naturally couldn't have imagined that tonight's intruder would be him.
He still thought it was some organization coveting their Osborn Group's research results!
...
The next day.
Luo Di woke up from a deep sleep and felt something warm brushing against his face.
He opened his eyes and saw the big face of the Red Devil appear in his sight.
"You silly dog! You ran into my room again!"
Luo Di pushed the silly dog's head away irritably, then sat up from the bed.
He had drawn another useless ability in the middle of the night yesterday.
It seemed that ever since he drew the Deadpool version of Cyclops, his luck had started to turn bad again.
Luo Di had even thought his bad luck was over!
It turned out he was just overthinking.
However, although the ability drawn was trash, after disassembling it and adding it to the previous few days' gains, Luo Di finally managed to raise Cyclops' development level to 3.
This way, Cyclops' power increased by a large margin again, roughly five or six times what it was before.
Got up, showered, and changed clothes.
Luo Di picked up his phone, saw the message from Gwen, and replied with a smile.
Whoosh~!
Gwen: "Lazy pig, just waking up at this hour?"
Gwen replied quickly.
Luo Di chatted with Gwen on his phone while calling Paradise Tower's restaurant service to have breakfast delivered.
Although it was already almost 9 o'clock.
After finishing breakfast, it was exactly 9:30.
