American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 34 Young people, don't be impulsive.

Peter was filled with remorse, but he didn't regret killing Xiao Xian; he regretted putting himself in a life-or-death situation because of it.

Like many people who only repent after being arrested, what makes them feel remorse is not the crime itself, but being arrested.

At that moment, the police officers exchanged glances and tacitly raised their guns. The captain had said that Mr. Osborn would reward anyone who could catch or kill Spider-Man with $500,000.

If not now, when?

Peter Parker's Spider-Sense, clutching his arm and groaning in pain, was triggered again. Seeing the incoming bullets, Peter had no time to wail. He rolled over to one of the officers and punched him in the stomach.

Peter didn't hold back with this punch. Under the threat of death, Peter, with bloodshot eyes, had no intention of holding back in order to survive. His only thought was to live.

As a superhuman, Peter's punch is enough to pierce through a human body.

Blood splattered everywhere. As their comrade collapsed with a large hole in his stomach, several officers swallowed hard. They inexplicably felt a pain in their own stomachs. What they thought would be a chase full of perks turned out to be a mission fraught with danger.

Before he could even process what had happened, Peter quickly rolled over, and a sniper bullet struck the spot where he had just been standing.

"Clint!!" a police officer shouted, grabbed his pistol, and fired wildly at Peter. Peter, in a bloodthirsty frenzy, shot out a spider web that caught a shard of car glass, which he then flicked away, sending the shard embedding itself in the officer's head.

Then, Peter, his face covered in blood and panting heavily, swept his gaze across the officers who met his eyes. They all took a step back in fright, but no one fired a shot, fearing they would suffer the same fate as the two men. After all, no matter how good money is, you have to be alive to spend it.

Ultimately, being a police officer is just a job for Amelia. Not to mention them, their masters are just serving their sugar daddies. They don't have any faith, so why risk their lives for such a small salary?

If Peter had only knocked people unconscious like before, they would have fired wildly. But now Peter can punch through a person with one punch, and even a shard of spider silk can kill.

They might not be able to hit Peter with their guns, but they would certainly attract his hatred. Everyone should think twice before firing.

"What are you standing there for? Open fire!" Captain George Stacy roared as he saw everyone retreat. He was extremely anxious because none of his men were stepping forward. If they didn't fight desperately, how could he advance? Would he still be able to be promoted to deputy director?

George Stacy's shout successfully attracted Peter's attention. He immediately rushed towards George Stacy, dodging Xiao Xian's sniper shot with a roll, and successfully broke through to George Stacy's front.

"you"

Looking at Peter, whose face was covered in blood and whose eyes were bloodshot, George Stacy wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything. Although Peter certainly wouldn't escape if he killed him, his future was bright, and it would be a loss to die at the hands of such a hothead. It would be a one-for-one trade.

Holding George Stacy by the neck, Peter stood between himself and the sniper, saying...

"Tell the sniper not to fire, or I'll break your neck."

"Snipers? We didn't arrange that." George Stacy said helplessly. He thought it was a car chase, and that catching Peter would be a victory. He hadn't arranged any snipers at all.

Moreover, the police snipers were not as good at marksmanship as this sniper, especially in terms of timing. He perfectly timed Peter's shot in mid-air.

"Then tell your men not to fire!" Peter had already guessed as much. He then said to George Stacy that although the man was a good shot, he wouldn't be able to hit Peter without the cooperation of the police.

"I will not give such an order!" George Stacy waved his hand to signal not to fire, looking at his men who were completely unwilling to shoot, his tone one of unwavering defiance.

The men hadn't wanted to shoot Peter in the first place, and now that their captain had been taken hostage, they all pointed their guns down, showing no intention of firing.

"..." If you disagree, what are you gesturing with? Looking at George Stacy's righteous face, Peter was speechless. At this moment, his shoulder was in excruciating pain, and his head was also a little dizzy from blood loss. He was relying on his willpower to hold on and didn't care about George at all. He slowly retreated while holding George Stacy hostage.

"If you kill me, the situation will be completely different. Superheroes will definitely come after you, and it might even alert the Justice League or the Avengers. You should think carefully. No matter how strong you are, you can't be stronger than Superman. Young man, don't be too impulsive. You still have hope of turning over a new leaf. Consider the consequences of your actions."

While helping to back away, George Stacy was also trying to persuade Peter not to act impulsively. He was starting to regret taking on this mission. Spider-Man usually just stole things and fought off petty criminals, who would have thought Peter was so capable?

If you're so good, why don't you apply to be a member of the Avengers? They're all superstars, and they earn way more than petty thieves. Although it might be a bit difficult to get in, becoming a second or third-tier superhero wouldn't be a problem, and you'd still earn a good amount. Plus, it's all legal. Why be so eager for quick success and instant benefits by burglary and murder?

While mentally criticizing Spider-Man for being too naive, George Stacy was speechless as he passed the bag containing Xiao Xian's body. He thought to himself, "Even this weakling with only regenerative abilities who died before fully regenerating has become a superhero. Peter, why are you doing this?"

On the other side, when Peter grabbed George Stacy and the police stopped, Xiao Xian knew that he couldn't stop Peter with a sniper rifle. He curled his lip, took out a pistol from his bag, pointed it at his forehead and pulled the trigger.

Choosing to regenerate his original form, Xiao Xian pulled out the knife from his heart. The mere knife wound was quickly regenerated. However, Xiao Xian did not get up immediately after regeneration. Instead, he cut open the bag and waited for the right moment.

As he heard Peter and George Stacy's footsteps pass by, Xiao Xian suddenly popped out of the bag, grabbed a dagger, and stabbed Peter.

Peter, with his spider-sense, was naturally not caught off guard. Although Xiao Xian was very close when he launched the attack, it was still enough for Peter to react.

"You're not dead???!!!" Peter was shocked to see Xiao Xian come back to life. No wonder Xiao Xian was so calm before he died and said that they would meet again soon. It turned out that he was not dead at all.

If you had just said you weren't dead, would I have needed to race the police? At this moment, Peter's hatred for Xiao Xian, which had dissipated because of Xiao Xian's death, returned, even more intensely.

Shock didn't stop Peter from striking; without hesitation, he smashed Xiao Xian's head with a single punch, his face contorted in a savage grin.

"Then I'll kill you one more time."

Since Peter has already been killed and the charges are clear, it doesn't matter if Xiao Xian is killed as well.
