I'm not Spider-Man, even though I'm parasitized by an alien!

"That seems to be it."

Gwen blinked and said in confusion, "That sounded like an explosion."

"Ah."

Peter nodded and walked to the window, with Gwen quickly following.

Peter's gaze swept across the city's skyscrapers and outwards.

At the edge of the horizon, smoke could be faintly seen rising from a building.

There appears to have been an explosion there.

Was it an accident?

Gwen speculated that the explosion may have occurred in the chemical industrial area.

"I don't know, but the news should be reporting it soon."

Peter turned his gaze and said in a casual tone.

"Okay, hopefully no one got hurt."

Gwen let out a breath, wanting to continue her conversation with Peter, but suddenly didn't know what to say.

Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed a Meileye Le vending machine in the corner of the corridor.

As she walked toward the vending machine, she asked Peter, "I'm a little thirsty, would you like something to drink?"

"No, I'm not thirsty, Gwen."

Peter was somewhat surprised by Gwen's composure.

Generally speaking, shouldn't Spider-Man be the one to be called in after any accident in New York City?

At this moment, Gwen had an expression that said, "I just want to drink soda."

"I remember there was a very expensive mountain dew soda here."

Gwen pressed her head against the vending machine, trying to see the brands of soft drinks inside.

She quickly looked up and slipped a twenty-dollar bill into the inbox.

After buying herself a bottle of root juice soda, she bought a bottle of mountain dew soda.

"Last time you treated me to a root juice soda, this time I'll treat you to a mountain dew soda."

Gwen walked over to Peter, smiled slyly, and handed him the soda.

After hesitating for a moment, Peter took the soda bottle.

"I have to say I was lucky today."

Gwen suddenly started talking about her luck.

"why?"

"Because I found a dollar today."

Gwen shared her good luck with Peter, "I just found a dollar under the vending machine."

Unfortunately, Gwen was too happy too soon; she took out the one dollar in her hand.

But it turned out to be just an eye-catching Christian flyer designed to look like a one-dollar bill.

The flyer featured a short story that encouraged young people to shoulder their family and social responsibilities.

Gwen, who had been tricked, instantly became furious and angrily crumpled the flyer into a ball.

Just as she was about to throw it away, she looked up and saw an unremarkable, thin man wearing a sharp black suit.

Good morning, miss.

The man in the black suit greeted Gwen, "Excuse me, is this Sheriff George Stacy's hospital room?"

Gwen looked at him suspiciously. "Who are you?"

“I am Agent Frank Gallo, and I work for the FBI.”

The man voluntarily showed Gwen his identification.

Gwen's doubts were dispelled after seeing the other party's identification.

After the man who claimed to be an FBI agent entered the ward, Gwen turned her gaze to Peter.

"Where were we, Peter?"

"You said you were very lucky."

"Okay, I must have made a mistake."

Gwen looked somewhat dejected.

She suddenly felt a little embarrassed about being tricked when she tried to pick up a dollar.

Gwen made a self-criticism.

"indeed."

Peter placed the soda bottle on the windowsill, glanced inside, and said to Gwen:

“Just now, Gwen, didn’t you realize that the guy who claimed to be a federal investigator was lying?”

"what?!"

Gwen was stunned when she heard Peter say that.

"Is he lying?"

Peter nodded and said to Gwen, "When people lie, they unconsciously blink, or look up or to the right to activate the part of their brain responsible for creative thinking. Their pupils constrict and their eyelids twitch slightly. These are all signs of a guilty conscience."

After being parasitized by the alien, his sensory world as a predator was constantly enhanced.

From his predator's perspective, he could perceive that most prey would exhibit head twitches or sudden eye movements when telling lies.

He had caught all the subtle reactions of the man in the black suit from earlier.

Gwen felt a pang of panic when she heard Peter say that.

Thinking that her father in the ward might be in danger, she kicked open the ward door as fast as she could.

With a loud bang, George, who was talking in the ward, and the man in the black suit were both stunned.

Before George Stacy could react, Gwen shouted at her father, "Dad, he's not from the FBI!"

Realizing his identity had been exposed, the man in the black suit stopped trying to hide it and immediately pulled out a pistol from his pocket.

"Don't move!"

The man in the suit raised his pistol, pointed it at the three men, and shouted threats.

Seeing her father and Peter in danger, Gwen didn't hesitate and immediately stood in front of Peter.

The man in the suit did not pull the trigger immediately. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly felt himself lose his balance.

The plastic carpet he was standing on was suddenly tugged by someone.

He stumbled and lost his balance.

Gwen immediately rushed forward, and with a nimble movement, kicked the other man's pistol away. Then, taking advantage of his inability to retaliate, she delivered a heavy punch to him.

With a loud thud, the man in the suit crashed heavily to the ground.

The assailant was quickly subdued without any incident, and Gwen breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned around and found Peter and her father looking at her strangely.

Oops!

I think I went a bit too far just now.

Realizing that her behavior just now might not have been quite in line with her usual persona, Gwen inwardly cried out in alarm.

The next second, Gwen raised her fist to attack the man in the suit, pretending to be in great pain.

unfortunately

Peter thought her acting was somewhat clumsy.

A dozen minutes later, the police arrived and handcuffed the man who was impersonating a federal agent.

After a brief interrogation, it was confirmed that the other party was a member of the Hell's Kitchen gang.

The reason for impersonating a federal agent was that the gang had recently been harassed by the New York Police Department, and after learning that George Stacy was here, he came to threaten her.

As a result, he was unlucky enough to be suppressed by Gwen as soon as he entered the door.

Hell's Kitchen?

Hearing this name reminded Gwen of what happened last night.

Matt Murdoch's employer is Kingpin.

That guy named Kingpin is supposedly the biggest gang in Hell's Kitchen.

If you want to protect this city as a superhero, you can start with this guy named Kingpin.

After half an hour.

Everyone had left; only Gwen and George Stacy remained in the ward.

George was deeply troubled by one thing—when the assailant raised his gun, his daughter chose to shield Peter from the bullet, choosing between him and Peter.

He had a feeling that daughters grow up and leave home.

“Gwen, we have to talk.”

Chapter 64 My daughter is rebellious, but she seems to have matured.

Parker's house.

The news is playing on TV.

"Viewers who have just turned on their televisions, earlier tonight, a major incident occurred at the Osborne Industries laboratory."

After hearing the news broadcast, Uncle Ben walked over to Peter, who was watching TV.
