Chapter 51 - Chapter 51: Retreat! Frustrated Luke Cage! Why did you all believe him?

"I'll go help!"

Peter said and then swung away.

Rhodey and Gwen, who remained, exchanged glances, and then Gwen followed up by saying, "Hey~! Don't be too rough this time. These people are from the Osborn Group. Although they are enemies now, I haven't fully understood the situation yet. It's possible there's some misunderstanding."

From the Osborn Group?

Rhodey was somewhat surprised to hear that.

He didn't expect this group, who seemed to be Superheroes, to be Harry's subordinates?

When did he have such a group of people under him?

If Harry had sent out this group of Superheroes back then, why would the major shareholders of the Osborn Group have needed Rhodey to act?

He could have handled it himself, couldn't he?

Rhodey had no idea that Harry only learned of the existence of this Poison Squad after he had completely gained control of the Osborn Group.

At that time, the large and small shareholders of the group had united to exclude him.

They wouldn't let him interfere in any of the group's operations, and he didn't even have access to some internal group data.

Naturally, he wouldn't have known that his father had secretly created such a special team.

"Got it, I'm the Flash, I definitely know how to be gentle."

Rhodey said.

Gwen chuckled.

You know how to be gentle?

What about those two superpowered criminals last time?

You smashed them into meat paste!

...

On Luke Cage's side, Peter rushed over to help, instantly relieving a lot of pressure.

And now Gwen and Rhodey also arrived.

As soon as the two arrived, they split off a group of Poison Squad members, instantly making things much easier for the two of them.

"Who's that guy?"

Luke Cage asked Peter, looking at Rhodey, who was appearing and disappearing.

"That's the Flash."

Peter said with unwavering belief.

Luke Cage, "..."

Although he should be considered an old-timer compared to young people, and he didn't understand much about young people's things, he had still heard the name Flash.

He knew it was a character from a comic book.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter who it is."

Luke Cage no longer dwelled on the question and focused on dealing with the enemies in front of him.

At this point, with the help of Spider-Woman and the "Flash," the advantage was no longer on the Poison Squad's side.

Although the Poison Squad members were all fearless, if they couldn't win in terms of raw strength, being fearless was useless!

Seeing this, Quinn, who had been hiding on the sidelines, also gave the order to retreat.

And he himself stealthily, taking advantage of the Superheroes not noticing him, quickly left the area.

"Don't let them run away!"

Luke Cage, seeing the enemies on the other side about to flee, quickly shouted.

But apart from Peter, the young Spider-Man, who chased after them with him, neither Gwen nor Rhodey made any move.

After chasing for a while, Luke Cage helplessly realized that his legs were too short, and he couldn't catch up at all.

Peter, however, could catch up.

But unfortunately, he couldn't defeat the opponents alone!

So he could only retreat.

"Why didn't you two chase?!"

Luke Cage questioned unhappily after returning.

Gwen just glanced at him, annoyed by Luke Cage's attitude, and didn't want to explain why she didn't chase those people. She turned and nodded to Rhodey, then swung away.

Luke Cage saw this and couldn't help but feel a surge of frustration.

Was he being ignored?

"Uh... Cage Uncle, Spider-Woman probably had something urgent to do, that's why she left."

Peter quickly tried to smooth things over.

After all, one was the first person with extraordinary abilities he had met, and the other was his second most admired Superhero.

Peter also didn't want any conflict between them, so he could only act as a peacemaker.

"You brat."

Luke Cage looked at Peter and shook his head helplessly.

At his age, what kind of people hadn't he seen?

That Spider-Woman had clearly left because she was unhappy; how could he not tell?

However, Luke Cage also reflected on himself. She came to help for free, and in the end, he questioned her. It was no wonder Spider-Woman got angry.

But Luke Cage still couldn't understand why Spider-Woman didn't go with them to chase the intruder.

"Little guy, you're pretty good. Keep up the good work in the future!"

Rhodey patted Peter's shoulder at this moment and praised him.

Then he turned to look at Luke Cage.

"You're hopeless, you have no future."

Luke Cage, "...."

"Alright, I have things to do, so I'll be leaving first."

After Rhodey said goodbye, he instantly vanished from the spot.

"So fast! As expected of Flash!!!"

Peter looked on with adoration.

Luke Cage silently glanced at him.

If he wasn't mistaken, that wasn't caused by running too fast, was it?

That was clearly some kind of instantaneous movement ability!

Peter, this silly kid, truly...

Luke Cage shook his head helplessly.

The World is dangerous; this kid definitely still has a lot to learn!

...

On the private plane.

Rhodey came out of the restroom and returned to his seat.

It was only about ten minutes, so no one suspected anything.

Instead, his rich second-generation friend pulled him over to discuss the BBC live news broadcast, saying he saw Flash from the comics in the broadcast and even stated that Flash's speed was even faster than depicted in the comics!

Rhodey, "..."

As long as you're happy.

He didn't expect that he was just making a casual joke. Gwen had never taken it seriously, but why did both Peter and this guy in front of him believe it?

Was it an IQ problem?

But that's not right!

Peter was clearly an academic overachiever.

Sure enough, was it because he was too naive?

Rhodey silently glanced at the rich second-generation friend in front of him, then at the flight attendant who was still adjusting her clothes.

Naive?

Naive, my foot!
