Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.
Chapter 495 Hill and the Mutants
That night, Parker Manor was incredibly lively.
The scene was just like Miyamoto Musashi's famous quote:
Those who want the challenge, line up and come one by one!
However, most superheroes are concerned about their image, so this matter ultimately needs to be considered carefully.
Back on Earth, after a few days of living like ordinary people, Peter, Gwen, and Felicia easily finished their graduation theses.
They also attended their graduation ceremony one day at the end of June.
The Imperial University's graduation ceremony was a grand affair.
Well, after all, not every university can award a bachelor's degree to a superhero who is also the world's richest man.
To celebrate Peter and his two companions' graduation, the entire Avengers team was present, and even President Alicia was alerted.
Well... although Gwen has already revealed her identity as the Ghost Spider and the Sorcerer Supreme, few people know that President George is the Ghost Spider's father.
Incidentally, during George's tenure, Parker Technology single-handedly spearheaded a new technological revolution.
The existence of the Avengers significantly reduced the crime rate across the United States, and George was naturally re-elected as president with an overwhelming majority.
Peter even estimated that if George wanted to emulate the tax lord of his past life and declare that America would be renamed the Greg Empire, there might not be many people in the United States who would oppose him...
Getting back to the main point, after the graduation ceremony, there was naturally party time.
This time, the party wasn't held at Parker Manor, but at Avengers Tower.
As everyone was enjoying themselves, a beautiful woman with short, neat hair and delicate features stood outside the banquet hall, clearly hesitant about whether to come in.
This person was naturally Peter's personal secretary, Hill.
Just as she hesitated, a voice came from behind her:
"Why don't you just go in?"
Hill was taken aback, but quickly relaxed:
"Director, congratulations on your graduation. I won't go in; I still have some official business to attend to at S.H.I.E.L.D."
Upon hearing this, Peter looked at Hill's dark circles under his eyes and his slightly pale lips, and felt a pang of guilt.
It seems I've been excessively irresponsible in being a bureau chief who shirks his duties.
He then grabbed Hill's hand and, without saying a word, flew directly to the top of Avengers Tower.
Hill was startled by the sudden movement and hurriedly grabbed Peter's waist.
When Hill came to her senses, Peter had already led her into a guest room.
"Don't move." Peter stopped Hill from getting up and leaving, and at the same time, the soft white light of the horse charm shone on his hand again.
Under the influence of the horse talisman, all sorts of occupational ailments caused by years of overtime work were instantly cured.
The sudden feeling of relief made Hill let out a satisfied sigh.
The sound was exceptionally clear in the quiet guest room.
The capable female secretary's face flushed red instantly.
She hurriedly straightened her collar and sprang to her feet to reach for the doorknob.
But before her hand could touch the doorknob, Peter gently grabbed her hand. He didn't say anything, but his deep eyes seemed to convey a certain signal silently.
Hill's lips pressed into a thin line, and her voice trembled slightly:
"Chief, Gwen and the others could..."
Peter silenced her with force.
Hill's eyelashes trembled violently a few times, then she slowly closed her eyes, and her hand, which was about to push Peter away, slowly loosened.
When Hill was able to speak again, her cheeks were flushed.
As Peter's secretary, she was arguably the closest person to Peter, aside from Gwen and others.
It would be impossible for Hill not to be tempted after observing the world's strongest man up close every day.
However, due to her status and age, she had always restrained this impulse.
He was afraid that if he were to be presumptuous, he would lose even the superior-subordinate relationship.
Tonight, Peter's actions have undoubtedly broken through the final barrier.
Thinking of this, Hill unconsciously placed his hand on his chest, as if he were having some kind of internal struggle.
After a moment, she finally lowered her hand from her chest, then gritted her teeth and took the initiative to move towards Peter A.
No one disturbed them that night.
The following morning, as Hill recalled what had happened the night before, this career woman, who usually only talked about work, couldn't help but blush.
At the same time, a bittersweet feeling welled up inside me.
She looked at Peter, who was still fast asleep beside her, and after a moment, she quietly lifted the blanket, picked up the clothes on the floor, and was about to leave.
As soon as he tried to stand up, he felt his legs go weak and he couldn't take a single step.
The pressure that even superheroes like Gwen find difficult to bear would naturally crush an ordinary agent like Hill in no time.
"No need to rush to work, I've already assigned your tasks for today to Agent Phil." A slightly teasing voice came from behind.
Hill looked embarrassed and didn't dare to look at Peter, but Peter pulled her into his arms with complete ease. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he whispered in her ear:
"By the way, what time did you come to see me last night?"
This question didn't annoy Hill; instead, it gave her a strange sense of relief.
This at least proves that their relationship will not be strained by last night's experience; on the contrary, it will only become closer.
Thinking of this, Hill's tense body relaxed, and he reported softly to his superior:
"Recently, people around the world have reported sightings of strangely shaped monsters, but when police officers arrive at the scene, these people say they don't remember reporting it or seeing any monsters."
Furthermore, neither the police nor S.H.I.E.L.D.'s surveillance systems captured any valid footage.
If it were just one or two incidents, we might suspect it could be a prank, but so far this month, there have been no fewer than ten similar incidents around the world.
I think there might be some special secret involved.
The expert team within S.H.I.E.L.D. also deduced that it was possible that another Skrull-like alien invasion had occurred, and that they had used high-tech devices to erase the memories of witnesses.
Upon hearing this, Peter, who was holding an apple, couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
Witnessing a monster, but then suffering amnesia afterwards?
As he pondered, two terms immediately popped into Peter's mind.
Mutants and Eternals!
If my guess is correct, then it is probably true that the mutant race has revived.
The Eternals eliminated these mutants and then erased the witnesses' memories of the incidents.
This led to the situation where the people who reported the incident all said they didn't remember anything afterward.
Well, if that's the case, then things could get a bit complicated.
After all, behind the Mutants and Eternals stands the Celestials, who are determined to turn the entire Earth into nourishment!
