The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 422 Rooftop Conversation
Of course, Yang Le and Gwen would not just sit there and watch the Stark family comedy. Since their date had been ruined, they might as well make the most of the remaining time.

"Where are we going now?" Gwen stood on the edge of a building's roof, looking down at the ant-like hustle and bustle of traffic below. "Come to think of it, I haven't seen a view like this in almost four months. It seems I haven't been a ghost spider for that long."

"This place is great. We can see the most beautiful night view of the city." Yang Le, who had transformed back into a human, stood beside Gwen. "Sometimes it feels good to just be together quietly like this."

"You're right." Gwen took a step forward, stood on the building perpendicular to the ground as if it were flat ground, then turned around and left the noisy ground behind.

"Um, I may not be able to see the scenery you are seeing now." Yang Le looked at Gwen's back awkwardly.

"Don't you have an Omnitrix?" Gwen turned and looked at Yang Le, who was standing at a 90-degree angle to her, in confusion. "Can't you just turn into an alien hero who can climb walls?"

"Please spare me, Gwen." Yang Le said with a headache. "It's a rare time for us to be together, so I want to stay with you as myself."

"Hmph." Gwen looked at Yang Le playfully, and when the latter felt a little uncomfortable with her gaze, she suddenly opened her arms. "Then let me help you."

"You mean... okay." Yang Le understood what Gwen meant. Although he was nervous, he pretended to be calm on his face and walked away from the edge.

He first felt the pull of gravity. Even though he knew it was nothing, the actual experience still made Yang Le feel his adrenaline rush. Fortunately, Gwen caught him a second later, otherwise Yang Le might not have been able to resist taking a picture of the Omnitrix.

"How do you feel?" Gwen smiled and looked at Yang Le who was a little dazed in her arms.

"It's so exciting." Yang Le swallowed. "Honestly, I feel like my heart is about to burst out."

Gwen chuckled twice, then used her free right hand to shoot two spider silk threads toward the wall, wrapped the two spider silk threads around Yang Le's waist to act as a safety rope, and finally held Yang Le and sat on the wall.

"It's really different." Yang Le looked at the busy road. This was the first time he experienced such a dangerous behavior as an ordinary person. Both the scenery in front of him and the physical sensation were novel experiences for him.

"So you make that expression too," Gwen joked.

Yang Le was a little speechless and said, "I'm just an ordinary person, Gwen. It's normal to be scared after jumping from such a high place."

"I know." Gwen pressed her head against Yang Le's chest, listening to his heartbeat, which was noticeably faster than usual. "I'm just used to seeing you do everything, so it's strange to see you like this for the first time."

"You are the only one who can see me like this." Yang Le tried his best to calm his heartbeat. He was very aware of his accelerated heartbeat. Although he had shown his weakness, he still subconsciously tried to make up for it.

"Remember to hold on to me, I'm just an ordinary person now."

"Got it, Mr. Omnipotent."

...

"Good morning Gwen!"

"Good morning Katie."

Gwen, already in a good mood, couldn't help but smile at her friend's energetic demeanor. It looked like today was going to be a good day. "You seem to be in a good mood. What's up? Did your boyfriend give you a gift?" Katie asked, her face full of gossip.

Katie, who was almost inseparable from Gwen at school, knew about Yang Le and Gwen's relationship. In fact, not only Katie knew about it, but almost everyone in their class knew about it.

The reason was that when Gwen just transferred to the school, her good looks attracted many people to pursue her. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Gwen could only publicly announce the fact that she had a boyfriend.

But even so, there is still a small group of people who insist that this boyfriend is just a shield made up by Gwen, and continue to pursue Gwen relentlessly. Gwen chose to ignore such people, and over time, she finally had peace around her.

However, there are still a large number of people who think that Gwen's boyfriend is fictional, but Katie, who is almost inseparable from Gwen, knows some inside information because she has seen Gwen looking at her mobile phone with a smile on her face several times.

Katie could guarantee that she only made that expression when she was chatting with someone she liked.

"Almost. We went out on a date yesterday." Gwen said with a smile, and there was an unconscious hint of boasting in her tone.

"That's great." Katie pouted enviously, then consciously changed the subject.

"By the way, Gwen, did you hear? Xuexi was attacked by terrorists last night while performing at Stark Arena."

"Really?" Gwen feigned surprise, but couldn't help but complain in her heart. "Not only do they know, I was there yesterday, and not only that, my boyfriend and I defeated the terrorists."

"Of course it's true. Tony Stark even tweeted about it himself," Katie said, her expression exaggerated, as if she had personally experienced the situation. "He said the terrorists were out to get him, but their plan failed. Two new masked vigilantes showed up and worked with him to drive them off."

"It seems that even rich people don't have an easy life." said the hidden rich woman Gwen.

"Luckily, Xuexi wasn't hurt," Katie clasped her hands together. "I just don't know if it will affect her transfer. But come to think of it, if the first thing I experienced when I first arrived in a country was a terrorist attack, I probably wouldn't go back."

"Damn terrorists." Katie said angrily.

...

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound of whipping, followed by the sound of papers scattering. A man in a yellow shirt with one arm wrapped in plaster stood in the center of the room, surrounded by papers that had already fallen to the ground and those that had not yet fallen to the ground.

"I've told you many times, George!" The middle-aged man in a white coat walked out from behind the desk, walked straight to the man in the yellow shirt, and poked his finger on the other's shoulder.

"We at AIM have a greater purpose. We are not a violent gang that you use to fight with others. I know you have a grudge against Howard Stark, but you should not impose your personal grudge on the organization."

"Tell me, how much damage have you caused to the organization this time?" The middle-aged man spitted and looked at the subordinate in front of him with gritted teeth.

"Two whole Coconut Crabs! Two whole Coconut Crabs! The organization just developed this thing and they only have five in stock, and you've already taken two of them!"
