Chapter 58 Mary Jane is dead!

One month later, inside a room at the mutant school.

Hawking closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and hovered half a meter above the bed, concentrating his mind and trying to control his breath to make his body defy gravity and maintain a suspended state.

Suddenly, the alarm clock on the table rang, distracting him, and he immediately fell off the bed.

"Finally, there's some progress! I still need to spend more time practicing!"

Reaching out to press the alarm that rang at 10:30, Hawking leaped out of bed.

After a month of studying Qi, he finally found the key to levitation and can now barely maintain his position off the ground by using Qi to control his body while concentrating.

This also means that it won't be long before he fully masters the art of flying and can fly freely.

With his current fighting power, flying with the Flying Technique is naturally not a problem. After all, even someone with a fighting power of tens of points like Gohan's wife Videl can do it without any issues.

The key is to be able to grasp the techniques; he doesn't have a teacher to guide him step by step.

Leaving the room through the window, he flew to Queens Park in Queens, just like every night, and met Peter Parker in a spider-themed bodysuit.

Congratulations on your graduation today!

Today is Peter Parker's graduation day, and he has also been accepted into Imperial State University, one of New York's most prestigious state universities.

"Thanks."

Peter Parker looked up, a very stiff smile on his face.

Hawking immediately noticed something was wrong:

"What's wrong? You seem a little off. Did your Mary Jane reject you?"

After spending a month together, Peter had already considered him a close friend with whom he could talk about anything, and naturally confessed his crush on his classmate Mary Jane, as well as the real reason for buying the sports car.

He encouraged Peter to pursue his interests boldly and not be afraid of rejection.

Although he felt that Mary Jane was not suitable for Peter, such things only matter as long as the parties involved are happy. A white moonlight is not so easily rejected by outsiders, and persuasion might even make Peter resentful.

Moreover, he himself felt that such decisions should be made by himself, and even if the outcome was not good, it was still his own choice. If he changed his mind because of a few words of advice from others, he would have no choice but to regret it in the future.

Of course, this may be because he is the kind of person who is opinionated and not easily influenced by external factors.

So after hearing Peter say that Mary Jane had broken up with her boyfriend Thompson, he encouraged Peter to boldly confess his feelings to Mary Jane after today's graduation ceremony. If he succeeded, he would take her for a drive, and then... then do what a man should do.

However, it now seems that the confession was unsuccessful.

This was within his expectations. Would Mary Jane fall in love with Peter just because he had a sports car?

Obviously impossible.

Mary Jane fell in love with Peter because he was already a well-known superhero in New York, just like the unattainable star she had always wanted to be, receiving everyone's attention, and had even saved her life twice.

She didn't love the nerdy Peter, but the famous Spider-Man.

"Hawking, Mary...she's dead!"

Peter looked up at Hawking, his eyes already red.

"ha???"

Hawking was stunned when he heard this.

Mary Jane's death was quite unexpected for him.

"What happened?"

"On her way to graduation, she was robbed. I eventually found and apprehended the robber, handing him over to the police!"

Peter choked up as he recounted what had happened.

Mary Jane took a taxi to school for her graduation ceremony, but instead encountered two robbers who had just robbed a jewelry store. Mary Jane was shot and killed on the spot.

Upon learning the situation, Peter was filled with grief and anger. He put on his Spider Suit and searched the area, eventually finding the two fleeing robbers first.

But in the end, he couldn't bring himself to kill them. He beat the two robbers severely and then handed them over to the police.

"It seems it still happened."

After listening to Peter's account, Hawking couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Clearly, Spider-Man's fate of losing a beloved person did come true, but because of his appearance, Peter lost not Uncle Ben, but the goddess he secretly loved, Mary Jane.

My condolences. Please take good care of yourself and get some rest these next few days!

Hawking patted Peter on the shoulder.

Peter must have been upset by what happened, and he didn't want to take advantage of the other party any longer, so he decided to give Peter a few days off to rest.

However, Peter's eyes hardened at this moment, and he took a wad of cash from his bag and handed it to Hawking:

"No, that's precisely why I can't rest. As Uncle Ben said, with great power comes great responsibility."

If I had discovered and stopped those two robbers during the robbery, Mary wouldn't have been killed later.

So from today onwards, I've decided to do what you do: fight crime as something I should do, not for money.

I sold the sports car for 80,000 yuan. I'll pay you back the remaining 20,000 yuan in installments. In the future, I'll help you fight crime and won't charge you a single penny.

Despite his best efforts to hide it during this time, he still aroused his uncle Ben's suspicion. After learning about what happened today, Ben had a good talk with him, enlightened him, and helped him understand a lot.

"No need, you can do it now, okay?"

Hawking didn't want the money back, but seeing Peter's determined look, he knew he had changed, so he took it back anyway.

But then, his eyes lit up, and he continued:

"Peter, I've always had this idea that one person's strength is ultimately limited, just like what happened today."

So I want to build a team whose members are all people with special abilities like us, so that we can help more people.

In order for us to use our abilities to help others with greater peace of mind, without being disturbed by the trivialities of life, we can also set up a related company to operate.

People occasionally take some photos, make some pictures, sell some merchandise, and earn some money to supplement their income.

What do you think?

"Oh, I don't think there's any problem. That's great, but how should we do it?"

Peter paused for a moment. He thought it was certainly a good thing, but as a recent high school graduate, these things were all too unfamiliar to him and outside his area of ​​expertise.

Hawking smiled:

"Leave the specifics of how to do it to me. What I mean is, if I get it set up right, would you be willing to join?"

"I definitely would!"

Peter nodded without hesitation.

He could use his abilities to help others and earn some money to pay off his debts—why wouldn't he agree?

The meaning of this money is different from the money Hawking paid him before.

Previously, he did good deeds for money; now, he does good deeds from the bottom of his heart and then earns some money to supplement his family's income.

And despite his firm resolve to repay the money, he was actually quite worried inside. To be honest, he didn't know how long he would have to work part-time jobs to pay off the remaining 20,000 yuan.

Therefore, he was naturally willing to do something that would kill two birds with one stone.

Most importantly, he trusted Hawking's character; he certainly wouldn't have agreed to do it with anyone else.
