The Martial God of the Marvel World

Chapter 220 Peter, it's all because of you!

Peter sat in the empty room, thinking nothing and saying nothing, Gwen's words always lingering in his mind.

Did he do something wrong? He couldn't help asking himself.

After thinking it over, he didn't think he had done anything wrong. He didn't trust SHIELD more than Gwen, but he believed in his own eyes and the evidence he saw with his own eyes.

Is there anything wrong with acknowledging reality?
However, women have the privilege of being unreasonable, so Peter decided to investigate the evidence of Director Stacy. Although he would definitely get nothing, he would at least show his attitude to his girlfriend. This might still give him hope of winning back Gwen's heart.

All the evidence is in Peter's mind. He plans to start with the witnesses and spend a few more days visiting those Hydra outer agents who have confessed to see if they have any personal grudges against Director Stacy, and see if he can get rid of the evidence from some angle.

In the next few days, Peter used his connections with SHIELD to visit many Hydra agents who were included in the witness program. From them, Peter learned a lot about George Stacy's experience during his training at Hydra. And the testimonies of these different people were seamless and flawless.

After Peter had been working in vain for a few days, he thought Gwen should have calmed down, so he went back to Gwen with his investigation results and tried to ask for a reconciliation.

After much persuasion, Mrs. Stacy finally made the decision for Gwen, opened the door and let Peter in.

Peter nodded gratefully at Mrs. Stacy, then moved closer to the door of the room and knocked, "Gwen, I'm coming in?"

There was no sound from inside. Peter pushed the door open and saw Gwen sitting by the window with her back to him.

Peter moved closer and put his arm around Gwen's shoulders, but Gwen swayed and dodged his hand. He kept on pestering her, and after Gwen half-heartedly gave in, Peter finally held Gwen in his arms.

Seeing that Gwen's attitude had softened, Peter was overjoyed. He first apologized, then used sweet words to explain himself, and finally told her what he had been working hard to investigate these days.

Gwen's attention was immediately drawn, and she asked anxiously, "How is it? What evidence did you find?"

Peter shook his head in embarrassment and said, "I visited those Hydra peripheral agents who have signed plea agreements and are included in the witness program, but their testimonies are very consistent. They are all..."

Gwen immediately got angry, got out of his arms, threw his hand away, and said angrily: "You came here just to tell me that after your investigation, it is proved that my father is indeed Hydra?"

"No, no, what I mean is that the progress is not going smoothly at the moment, but I will continue to investigate." Peter has learned his lesson now and he must coax his girlfriend first no matter what.

"You've clearly already decided in your heart that my father is Hydra, so when you were investigating, you overlooked those details that you should have noticed!"

"I swear, Gwen, I absolutely treated Director Stacy as a good person to investigate. I tried to find clues that they had a grudge against Director Stacy, but I found nothing. They had no reason to frame him..."

While they were arguing, the doorbell rang. Mrs. Stacy opened the door and two SHIELD agents came in. After showing their IDs, they said to Gwen:
"Gwen Stacy, you are arrested on suspicion of participating in a reactionary organization. You have the right to remain silent..."

Peter was getting annoyed because he couldn't convince Gwen. Seeing this, he was so angry that he almost went crazy. He grabbed the arrest warrant, tore it to pieces, and roared, "Are you blind? Gwen is just a high school student. What kind of relationship does she have with Hydra?"

The two agents frowned, stretched out their hands to hold the pistols on their waists, and said, "Thor, you are also an agent of SHIELD, don't break the law! If you resist arrest now, we have the right to shoot you on the spot!"

He said, glancing threateningly at Gwen and Mrs. Stacy beside him.

Peter was furious, and his anger almost burned his mind dry. He stretched out his hand and wanted to crush the two bugs in front of him, but as soon as he raised his hand, he was hugged by Gwen next to him. "No, Peter!"

"You can't kill them, otherwise you will become a wanted criminal and SHIELD won't let you go."

"Peter, see, this is the SHIELD you trust. I will leave with them. If you still believe in their findings, today will be the last time we meet."

After Gwen finished speaking, she surrendered and was taken away by the SHIELD agents.

Peter wanted to rush to SHIELD to find out, but Mrs. Stacy was already crying and collapsed on the ground, unable to take care of herself, so Peter had to stay and comfort Mrs. Stacy. After much persuasion, Peter finally persuaded Mrs. Stacy to stay calm and wait for the results of his investigation.

After leaving Gwen's house, Peter rushed to S.H.I.E.L.D.

This time, Chief Garrett seemed to have anticipated his arrival and had already made coffee for him. But Peter was not in the mood to drink coffee. He sat down in front of Chief Garrett and stared at him, hoping that he could give a reasonable explanation.

"Peter, this is all because of you!" As soon as Director Garrett opened his mouth, he shocked Peter who was about to blame him.

"Through our investigation, we found that when Hydra recruits new members, they often infiltrate the relatives and friends around the person and then influence the recruit's thoughts imperceptibly."

"And this time Hydra's target of recruitment is you, so they will definitely recruit people around you first, such as George Stacy and Gwen Stacy."

"Impossible!" Peter couldn't accept this statement at all.

"Peter, you might as well think carefully about whether Gwen tried to contact you and influence your thinking before and after Thomas contacted you."

Peter was stunned, and then he remembered that when Thomas came to see him, he was with Gwen. After Thomas left, Gwen also called him many times.

But he immediately shook his head violently and said, "Gwen and I are in love. Gwen will often come to me whether Thomas appears or not."

Chief Garrett nodded, "Yes, that is a possibility, but what if George Stacy is Hydra?"

Peter's breathing stagnated, but he still refused to believe this conclusion, "Even if George Stacy is Hydra, it doesn't mean that his daughter is Hydra!"

"But we can't rule out this possibility. We're just investigating first. If it turns out that Gwen is innocent, we'll naturally let her go."

Director Garrett patted Peter on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Peter, you have to believe in S.H.I.E.L.D.! We will not let a bad guy go, and we will not wrongly accuse a good guy!"

Peter felt that what Chief Garrett said made sense, but he always felt that something was wrong.

"But, but Gwen is not Hydra at all! I can assure you of that!" Peter couldn't help but become a little impatient.

"Peter, since Gwen is not Hydra, what does it matter if SHIELD investigates her? Or are you actually afraid of something deep down in your heart?"
