Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.
Chapter 105 Winning the Bet, Shop Refresh
"Who are you?"
Carlton frowned subconsciously.
He, who prides himself on being the savior of human civilization, had previously not really cared much about these social ills.
The red-haired man gave a sinister smile:
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Cletus Casadi."
"It's you?!" Carlton exclaimed in surprise.
He remembered the name, the name of a serial killer who had committed dozens of murders.
This guy commits crimes without any discernible pattern.
According to this guy's own account, he pushed his own grandmother down the stairs just because he was in a moment of impulse.
Because he was rejected by the older sister he liked, he was able to push her in front of the speeding 100-ton king.
This is a born antisocial personality, the worst of the worst.
Carlton initially wanted to refuse to let this uncontrollable madman join the group.
But before he could even speak, the riot had already taken over his body, bending the cell door in front of Cletus in one swift motion!
Under the horrified gazes of the prison guards, five figures swaggered out of Baker Island prison and boarded a helicopter circling in the distance.
In the chaotic and chaotic prison ward for hardened criminals, only Alexei remained, huddled in a corner of his cell, upholding a promise that seemed utterly ridiculous to everyone else.
……
After the prom, Peter and Gwen went to a restaurant for dinner.
While we were eating, a news report was suddenly broadcast on the restaurant's television:
"...According to the latest news from this station, a serious prison break occurred at Baker Island prison an hour ago."
A group of supervillains, led by convicted felon Mike Gagan, have successfully escaped with the help of a mysterious figure. The New York Police Department has issued a maximum-level arrest warrant for them…
As Gwen's smile froze on the television screen, she saw photos of Scorpion, the Luke Brothers, and others flashing by.
The fork in his hand also fell onto the plate with a "clang":
"How could this happen..."
She lost that bet.
We lost completely.
She never imagined that those who had promised her to reform themselves would actually choose to commit evil again without hesitation, just as Peter had predicted.
Moreover, it hadn't even been half a month since they made that promise.
A tremendous sense of loss and frustration overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.
She even subconsciously began to deny everything she had done in the past.
Just as Gwen was once again lost in confusion, a warm, large hand grasped her small hand and gently stroked the back of her hand:
"You don't need to feel guilty about this; they are the ones at fault, not you."
"But many people will surely die tragically tonight... If I hadn't stopped you, they could all have..."
Peter interrupted Gwen somewhat rudely, staring into her clear, jewel-like eyes as he spoke:
"Gwen, there's no point in wallowing in self-pity."
"What's done is done, so all we can do is try our best to prevent similar incidents from happening again."
"You don't need to blame yourself or force yourself to do something you're not good at."
"You just need to do your best, and leave the rest to me..."
Listening to Peter's genuine concern and the self-esteem he showed in his words.
Gwen nodded slightly. Although the heaviness in her heart hadn't disappeared, at least it wasn't as suffocating as before...
As for the unconditional promise mentioned in the bet...
Neither of them mentioned it at this time.
Now is clearly not the time to discuss such things.
……
After quickly finishing dinner and taking the dejected Gwen home, Peter immediately contacted Skye.
The moment the call connected, Skye's excited voice came through the receiver:
"Boss, I was just about to call you, guess what I just found out?"
"explain."
"You told me to keep a close eye on the Life Foundation, right? I just checked the Life Foundation's surveillance footage and happened to notice a helicopter landing on the Life Foundation's rooftop."
Guess who got off the plane?
"Carlton himself, and those four guys including Mike Gagan?"
"How did you know?" Skye's admiration for Peter deepened even further.
"I hacked into Baker Island prison's surveillance system following the news reports, and I saw something incredible... I've already sent the video to your private email address."
Upon hearing this, Peter immediately turned on his computer and quickly saw the video Skye had sent.
The video shows the "riots" causing chaos at Baker Island prison.
"Riot..." Peter's pupils contracted involuntarily.
As expected, the plot inevitably veered off course.
Riot didn't arrive on Earth with Venom like in the movies; instead, it merged completely with Carlton Drake ahead of time.
If I hadn't been paying attention to the Life Foundation's movements, what would have happened next... might have been the five major symbiote villains wreaking havoc in New York?
This is definitely not a situation that Gwen can handle!
It can only be said that the accelerated collapse of the universe caused by the destruction of the spider web event was indeed exaggerated.
Fortunately, with himself as a transmigrator, he could easily suppress any trouble these people might cause.
Do you want to use those four rotten fish and shrimp to become parasites of a symbiotic organism?
Dreaming!
Dude, I'll hijack the whole rocket for you then. No matter how much you scheme, you'll only be doing all the work for me!
Thinking this, Peter immediately gave the order:
"They shouldn't make any noise before the rocket lands... but just in case, I'd like to ask you to keep an eye on them. If there's anything, remember to report to me immediately."
"Understood!"
After ending his call with Skye, Peter subconsciously glanced at the date and time in the lower right corner of his computer.
It's almost midnight.
This midnight was special, as it marked exactly one month since the last product update.
After midnight, you'll see new products refreshed!
Thinking this, Peter decisively washed his face and quietly waited for time to pass.
Before long, midnight arrived quietly.
Almost at the same time, a long-lost mechanical voice sounded in Peter's mind.
[Countdown resets]
[The monthly product selection has been updated. Welcome to browse and purchase!]
coming!
Peter's face lit up with joy, and he immediately focused his mind, opening the familiar system store interface.
[Sacrifice Points Balance: 14800]
As usual, the eight items were displayed on the system's light screen, exuding a kind of captivating magic.
Peter's eyes lit up the moment he saw the first item:
【Item 1: Mysterious Art of Compassion - Salvation of Fallen Souls】
