Black Robe: Gender Swap, I Have a Small Panel
Chapter 203 The Encounter with 7 Knives
New York, Hero Association headquarters.
When Peter first saw Morgan with his human eyes, he could hardly take his eyes off her.
Especially when you realize that the other person has made eye contact with you, your heart starts pounding.
Morgan...
She is not only beautiful, but also incredibly kind-hearted, and she has endless love and care for me.
As Peter gazed at her beautiful face, his thoughts drifted back to several months ago…
……
Several months ago, Aunt Mei suddenly fell seriously ill and urgently needed money for treatment. Even though Uncle Ben sold all his possessions and emptied his pockets, he was still short 7 for treatment...
Looking back, he was ostracized by society because of his appearance and could only do manual labor. He was also bullied by the foreman. He couldn't even come up with 700, let alone 7.
For a long time, because no one would hire a "Spider-Man," he even had to rely on Aunt May and Ben for financial support!
At that moment, Peter looked at Aunt May, who was unconscious by his bedside, and was almost overwhelmed by a huge sense of guilt.
Peter often wondered if Aunt May would have survived this crisis if the elderly couple hadn't adopted him, a mutant?
Overwhelmed by guilt, Peter even considered taking a desperate gamble and robbing a bank to pay for Aunt May's medical treatment.
……
That day, the weather in July was exceptionally hot. He remained silent for a long time by Mei's bedside. Just before he was about to rob the bank, he suddenly noticed the job postings on TV, radio, and even on product packaging.
And all of the above contains the same content...
"Walter Corporation is recruiting for its Cleanup Department. No background or connections are necessary; anyone with the skills can become a member!"
Amidst the overwhelming publicity and Starlight's excellent social reputation, Peter, looking at the generous reward and Aunt May lying in her hospital bed, decided to embark on his journey to Walter for the job interview.
The gears of fate began to turn even before this tiny decision was made...
On that day, at the audition, when he removed his wig, Morgan, one of the judges, was not frightened by his ugly appearance. Instead, he showed him the utmost respect and calmly asked:
"Peter, what brings you here?"
At that moment, a surge of emotion rushed into his heart. He felt that the girl in front of him was different, unlike those people in society who only bullied and exploited him.
This made him, almost as if possessed, not choose to deceive the other party with a clumsy excuse, but instead speak frankly:
"money!
My aunt Mei, who has been taking care of me, is sick, and I need $7 for treatment!
In this dazzling world, in this vast world of capital operations, these words are like the most blatant sob story, the most humble plea. He himself regretted saying them.
This cruel capitalist world shows no mercy to the weak. This was the first lesson he learned from his uncle Ben, who, despite his gray hair, still had to work as an electrician to support his family.
On stage, as he was preparing to leave with a dejected expression, Morgan's voice did indeed call him back.
"Good! You're a dutiful son! You're accepted. Send the payment slip to the Water Cleaning Department, and they'll process your application!"
The voice, like heavenly music, reached his ears, dispelling the gloom in his heart and illuminating the fog before him, pulling him back just before he was about to become a "robber"...
Morgan gave me the first undisguised respect in my life, and also gave me my first high-paying job...
Since then, he has been on a meteoric rise, climbing step by step to where he is today in just a few months!
It can be said that Morgan's appearance completely changed his life...
If it weren't for the other party, I might already be in jail for robbing a bank, or be mistaken for a monster and killed by the arriving hero!
Now, Aunt Mei has recovered, Uncle Ben has retired, and the whole family is living a happy and fulfilling life together...
It was all because of the other party's momentary lapse in judgment.
……
And this gratitude and longing, over time, transformed into deep affection.
And with the surge of energy emanating from Peter's body after his "rebirth," it catalyzed into a desire to express himself.
As Peter gazed at Morgan's perfect face, gratitude and a strange, inexplicable emotion surged within him...
Finally, having made up her mind, she tossed her bangs and said:
"Morgan, I..."
Just as he was wondering if this kid had a crush on Morgan, he saw the other guy suddenly muster up the courage to speak to him. His eyes were wary, and he said seriously:
"Hmm? What's wrong?"
Morgan met the other woman's eyes again, and a hint of doubt appeared in her beautiful eyes, which sparkled like stars.
Looking into the other person's beautiful eyes, Peter's strong urge to confide intensified once again, and the words on his lips seemed about to burst out at any moment.
But considering that Morgan didn't usually act like someone who would like boys, even someone as oblivious as him could sense that.
With that in mind, Peter hesitated again.
Even with this inexplicable surge of courage, he was still afraid that if he confessed his feelings, he would be rejected, and their relationship would become awkward...
The words that were on the tip of my tongue turned into:
"Um... could you give me a raise?"
ha?
This kid, after thinking about it for so long, it's all just for a raise?
I thought he was going to say something bold to me? But this is all?
Morgan quietly dissipated the wisp of electricity behind him.
"Oh, it's nothing! It's just a raise. Your skills have improved so much that we really can't pay you the same salary as before..."
"Jarvis, make a note of this: Peter's salary has been doubled."
After announcing the news, Morgan left without looking back.
"Yes, Ms."
……
"Waaah..."
Upon hearing the news of the pay raise, Peter was not happy; instead, his expression was one of utter dejection.
Just now, besides feeling scared and embarrassed, his spider senses went off like crazy just as he was about to confess, stopping him from saying what was on the tip of his tongue.
He had a premonition that if he opened his mouth, the other party would give him a severe beating...
Waaah, the rumors were true! Any boy who dares to confess his feelings to her will be beaten to a pulp, completely ending any thoughts he might have about her!
and……
Knowing that he possessed the Spider-Sense, Morgan still chose to preemptively build up his power to intimidate him, which was already a rejection of him...
Peter watched Morgan's departing figure and wept bitterly.
Damn it!
Peter: You are a beautiful woman, but why are you made of bronze?
