The Martial God of the Marvel World

Chapter 219 The Constraints of Morality

Peter comes to Chief Garrett's office so often that he is now familiar with the place.

He knocked on the door and came in, picked up the coffee cup, poured himself a cup of coffee, added sugar, and sat on the guest sofa. He waited for Director Garrett to tell him that the investigation results had not yet come out, and then he finished his coffee and left.

But this time Chief Garrett's face was very serious. He glanced at Peter who was relaxing and drinking coffee and said, "Peter, some unfortunate news."

Peter was stunned, and quickly put down his coffee cup and sat up straight.

"We already have sufficient evidence to prove that George Stacy is also a member of Hydra."

"What?" Peter was shocked. He stood up suddenly and stared at Chief Garrett. "How is it possible? I often go to Gwen's house. Chief Stacy is obviously a conservative police officer with a strong sense of justice. He can't be Hydra!"

"Peter, I know this is hard to accept, but Hydra's camouflage and infiltration capabilities are very strong. They can pretend to be any profession. It is impossible to tell whether a person is Hydra based on their daily behavior."

Peter felt his lips dry and his throat tight, and he couldn't utter a word.

"Peter, you have to believe in S.H.I.E.L.D. We will not wrongly accuse a good man. We determined that George Stacy was Hydra, and it was not just because he worked with Thomas for a period of time. The evidence is solid and irrefutable."

Chief Garrett said as he took out a tablet computer, opened a folder on it and showed it to Peter.

"All the evidence is here, you might as well take a look. If you can find any flaws in it, that would be great."

Garrett put down the tablet and left the office, leaving Peter there to carefully look through the evidence page by page.

The evidence is very sufficient, including witnesses, physical evidence, photos, and videos... Although a lot of the evidence is blurry due to the age of the case, and the video clarity is not high enough, we can still roughly tell from the outline of the characters that the young man in the video is George Stacy.

Peter sat in Director Garrett's office for an entire afternoon, looking over the evidence in the computer countless times and almost memorizing it all before leaving there in a daze.

He now had no idea how to face Gwen who was waiting for him at home.

After dawdling on the road for more than an hour, he finally got home. Gwen was cooking in the kitchen. She looked back at him and said, "The bath water is ready. Take a bath first, then watch TV for a while. When the food is ready, we'll eat."

Peter sat in the living room, without taking a shower or turning on the TV, just curled up on the sofa.

Gwen seemed to realize something. She turned off the gas stove, wiped her hands with a towel, took off her apron, hung it by the door, and went into the living room.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"Uh..." Peter hesitated, not sure what to say.

"Is there anything difficult to talk about?" Gwen sat down next to Peter and held his hands. "Peter, if you encounter any difficulties, you might as well speak up and we can work together to find a solution. I said that no matter what, I will stand with you."

"I went to SHIELD today to inquire about the progress of the investigation, and I learned from Director Garrett that SHIELD has found out..." Peter's voice got lower and lower until it was barely audible, "George, George is Hydra."

"This is impossible!" Gwen screamed and jumped up, "My father can't be Hydra!"

Peter lowered his head, reached out and took out the USB drive copied from SHIELD, and handed it over.

"Here is all the evidence. I have examined it carefully..."

Gwen raised her hand and threw the USB drive away, screaming, "To hell with the evidence! I'm my own father, I know him well!" Peter reached out to pull Gwen, wanting to comfort his girlfriend, "Gwen, I know this is hard to accept, but..."

Gwen grabbed his hand, her watery eyes full of pleading.

"Peter, this evidence must be fake! There's something wrong with SHIELD's investigation. If you help me, we can conduct our own investigation!"

Peter sighed, took a step forward and hugged Gwen in his arms, "Gwen, many times, we have to face reality. Just like I never thought that my parents were Hydra, so, George..."

Before Peter could finish his words, Gwen pushed him away.

"Peter, what I need now is your support, not for you to tell me to give up the investigation and let others throw dirty water on my father!" Gwen raised her eyebrows and looked at Peter with disappointment.

"Gwen, you need to calm down now..."

"No, I don't need to calm down! I just ask you, Peter, are you willing to help me?"

"Of course I will help you, Gwen. I love you, you know that, but the evidence is already clear..."

"Is this a matter of evidence? This is a matter of attitude! Peter, I have never doubted that Uncle Ben and Aunt May are Hydra. Even if the evidence is in front of me, I will still tear it into pieces and throw it in the face of your damn director!"

"But you, you trust SHIELD more than I do!"

The disappointment on Gwen's face grew deeper and deeper, as if she had just met Peter for the first time today.

"If SHIELD tells you now that Uncle Ben and Aunt May are also Hydra and there is solid evidence, what will you do? Will you believe it?" Gwen asked.

Peter immediately retorted, "Uncle Ben and Aunt May are not Hydra!"

"So that's my dad?" Gwen said angrily.

"I..." Peter was speechless. He wanted to say that the evidence was conclusive, but looking at Gwen's angry face, he couldn't open his mouth.

"Peter, you have already determined in your heart that my father is Hydra, right?" Looking at Peter's expression, Gwen understood everything. The anger on her face disappeared, replaced by sadness and disappointment.

"Peter, I am willing to stand with you at all times. What about you? Are you willing to stand with me forever?" Gwen burst into tears. "Peter, I love your kindness, but now, I hate your inability to distinguish between near and far!"

After saying that, Gwen turned around and walked away. Peter hurriedly followed behind her, shouting in a hurry: "I am willing to stand on the same side with you forever!"

"Gwen, I'll help you check. I'll help you with whatever you want to do. Don't be angry..."

Gwen didn't even look back. She hailed a taxi on the street, got in, and slammed the door shut.

"Peter, I think we are moving too fast. We both need to calm down and think about whether we are suitable for each other."

After Gwen finished speaking through the car window, she signaled the driver to drive. Peter had the ability to stop the car, but his moral values ​​were so ingrained that he could not do anything. He could only watch Gwen crying and going away in the taxi.
