I started with the Ice-Ice Fruit, and Spider-Woman Gwen came after me.

I bought the book this morning and have already read more than half of it.

"Sometimes, for certain powerful people, those who are obsessed with beauty will not devote all their energy to the world of government."

Hawkeye Barton squinted.

"With constraints, there will be some hindrances."

Phil Coulson gave a casual reply, his attention focused on the novel.

"Phil."

Hawkeye Barton shouted.

"Ok?"

"Don't get too absorbed in it."

"Haha, I'm getting a little engrossed. The novel is so well-written, it feels like I'm right there in the story."

Phil Coulson quickly closed the novel.

Chapter Twenty-Four: New Mission: The Devil's Contempt

early morning.

Hao Longtao emerged from the seabed.

Having mastered the magic of water manipulation, the ocean felt incredibly familiar to him.

Back at the manor, I washed myself clean.

I put on my new clothes, drove my car, and went to school.

I'll be graduating in a month.

Hao Longtao was pondering a question.

Whether to continue attending university.

For Hao Longtao, continuing his studies was no longer necessary.

Entering university, the excessive academic workload and useless social interactions will take a toll on his life.

However, having only a high school education is still a very unpleasant thing to hear if word gets out.

Does this mean they'll donate money in the future and become honorary doctorates from prestigious universities?

What is Gwen Stacy thinking?

Hao Longtao pictured his girlfriend's smile.

If he gets into Columbia University, will Gwen follow him there?

If we were to encounter Tony Stark, and he were making fun of Columbia University, should we give him a Thousand Years of Ice Storm?

But Hao Longtao really didn't want to go to university.

He wanted to make money.

The increase in wealth is of no concern to me.

The key is to increase one's wealth.

Just now.

The system's voice echoed in Hao Longtao's mind:

Darkness descends. When the name of the Ice Demon became known throughout Hell's Kitchen, you angered the emperor behind it.

[Mission: The Devil's Contempt. Tonight, Wilson Grant Fisk will be hosting a celebrity party in Manhattan. Smash that fat man's reputation to the ground and, in the name of the devil, send him to meet Satan. Mission Level: White.]

【Do you accept the task? 】

Is white the lowest grade?

Sure enough, my power has increased.

The system also disregarded this underworld tycoon.

Kingpin has become a white mission.

But at this moment, Hao Longtao felt unusually relaxed.

In the past, I was influenced by external factors and had too many worries.

Looking back, Hao Longtao still attributes it to the fact that he felt insecure about his existence in this world.

After gaining the power of the Ice-Ice Fruit, he was unclear about his own position and was also confused about the path he should take in the future.

S.H.I.E.L.D. approached Hao Longtao, urging him to cast aside all his inner uncertainties.

Having been reborn, the system still exists.

In short, it's all about doing it.

When doing anything, the priority is naturally the system's tasks.

Now that S.H.I.E.L.D. already knows my identity.

Then let's lay our cards on the table.

I am the Ice Demon.

There is no need to hide your behavior anymore.

However, in his personal life, Hao Longtao does not want to be disturbed by the outside world too much.

He understands very well that there are too many birth mothers and double standards in this world.

His life being disrupted makes him very irritable.

"Let's start with Kingpin and truly declare my stance."

Hao Longtao's gaze became even more determined.

The vehicle was parked at the school, and Hao Longtao got out of it.

In fact, he had already decided in his heart that he would not go to university.

But before that, we need to completely take down Gwen.

Otherwise, if Gwen's attitude changes and she develops a problem with him, he will suffer a huge loss.

Gwen was his first love in this world.

First love is always special.

When he arrived at the locker, Gwen was already waiting for him.

He put his backpack in the locker, took out his books, and naturally reached out his hand to Gwen.

Gwen Stacy was surprised.

But soon she took Hao Longtao's hand.

In her relationship with Hao Longtao, Gwen was often the one taking the initiative.

Today, Hao Longtao took the initiative, and although his change in attitude was unexpected, it also relieved a lot of Gwen's resentment.

Are you staying at the apartment tonight?

Gwen Stacy asked.

"Yes, the Long Island Estate matter has been taken care of. We can go there on vacation later."

Hao Longtao explained.

“Let’s go to Long Island this weekend. I’ve heard the beaches there are beautiful.”

Gwen Stacy said expectantly.

"The future mistress of the manor should also go and see the manor's layout. I also want to buy some items. It's a good time to go to Long Island Manor and take a good look at what kind of decorations the manor needs."

Hao Longtao spoke casually.

But Gwen Stacy felt like she'd eaten a honey date, her heart filled with sweetness.

"I don't want to be the mistress of your manor."

Gwen said haughtily.

"It's mainly a matter of my aesthetic sense. I need Miss Stacy's help to decorate my house properly. Would Miss Stacy be willing to do me this favor?"

"You invited me."

Gwen's smile was as radiant as a flower.

"Of course, Miss Rolls Daisy is here. I'll show you my skills and treat you to my Chinese food."

Hao Longtao blinked.

"Authentic Chinese food?"

"Yes."

"Then I agree."

Gwen Stacy immediately agreed.

I glanced at the caller ID on my phone.

Hao Longtao hung up the phone.

Matt Murdoch, his former lawyer.

He didn't want Matt Murdoch to be too involved in his life.

Even though Matt is Daredevil.

But his body is just that of an ordinary person.

If he intervenes in future wars, people will die.

Let Matt stay in Hell's Kitchen and deal with these gangsters.

The Hand was his archenemy.

Kingpin will be left to me to handle.

Gwen also needs to go to Osborne Group for an internship.

According to her, Dr. Connor has made breakthroughs in gene editing technology.

"It seems Peter has found Dr. Connor."

"Dr. Connor has obtained the key formula."

This is not something Hao Longtao should worry about too much.

But this matter involves Gwen, since Gwen is now Spider-Man, and Dr. Connor, the Lizard, is her nemesis.

Manhattan, Trump Restaurant.

Wilson Grant Fiske, a prominent New York businessman, delivered a moving speech at a charity gala.

But his heart was not here.

Instead, it was in an underground laboratory in Hell's Kitchen.

Tonight will be a crucial moment.

He will resurrect his wife and children.

Pull them back from time and space.

As a mafia tycoon, he kidnapped a large number of scientists, and finally news came that the quantum collider had been completed.

"Mr. Fisk, your speech was excellent."

New York celebrities flocked to shake hands with Wilson Grant Fisker.

Wilson Grant Fisk greeted each wealthy businessman and celebrity with a smile.

His status as a wealthy businessman and celebrity served as a protective shield.

Entering high society allowed him to use money to make connections with many high-ranking officials in the United States, which made him extremely respected in New York.

Most police officers would avoid him if they saw him.
