I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 34 Lemon Bass

Erin took the plate Helen handed her, smiled, and said thank you.

Generally speaking, Erin is very polite.

"You're welcome."

Helen said, "And don't call me Mrs., just call me Helen. There's no need for such formality between us."

Just as George was grateful to Erin, Helen was equally grateful to Erin for saving Gwen.

As a woman, Helen knew all too well the harm that such a thing would cause Gwen if it were to happen one day.

"By the way, today's main course is lemon sea bass. I hope you enjoy it."

As she spoke, Helen introduced the main course she had prepared for today to Erin.

Erin looked at the bass on her plate.

Good guy.

"Lemon Bass" is probably the most famous dish in the Marvel Universe. I never thought that I would eat this dish in less than a week after I was transported here.

Even Spider-Man doesn't get this kind of treatment!

But speaking of Spider-Man...

During her time at school, Erin made a special inquiry, only to find that no one knew who Peter Parker was.

Is it because Tony Stark exists in this world that Peter Parker, who should have been at Midtown High School and a classmate of Gwen, has become the talkative Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe?

"Ahem!"

Seeing how well Helen treated Erin, George, who was sitting opposite Erin, coughed with a hint of jealousy.

"By the way, who is Ms. Pepper Potts to you? If it weren't for her putting pressure on the city government, our initial investigation into the Water Ghost Gang probably wouldn't have been able to proceed so smoothly."

Gwen, sitting next to Arlin, asked, "Pepper Potts? Is that the Pepper Potts who's currently the assistant to the chairman of Stark Industries?"

George nodded: "That's right, it's Pepper Potts, Tony Stark's personal assistant."

Stark Industries is the largest industrial group in the Commonwealth.

George had some understanding of Pepper Potts, which is why he was even more aware of Pepper Potts's position in Stark Industries.

After all, most of the equipment and weapons used by the New York Police Department each year are sponsored by Stark Industries.

George was fairly familiar with the major financial backers behind the police department.

That's why George was puzzled as to how Erin had gotten involved with that woman.

Erin smiled and said to George, "Aunt Pepper was my mother's best friend. She took good care of me after my mother passed away, so she stepped in after my accident."

"I see."

George nodded upon hearing this.

At this moment, Mrs. Helen, having finished distributing the plates and food, suddenly spoke up: "In fact, after Erin's mother passed away, Pepper wanted to adopt Erin as her son. If she hadn't refused, Pepper would be his guardian now!"

Although Helen and Pepper weren't particularly close, they were still friends.

After Gwen's incident.

Having learned of Erin's connection to Pepper, Helen went to talk to Pepper to find out more.

Helen also learned a lot about Erin from Pepper.

"Huh? Is there such a connection?" George asked in surprise.

Erin nodded. "Aunt Pepper has always taken good care of me."

In a sense, Pepper, though not Erin's legal guardian, was practically the same.

If it weren't for Pepper watching over us.

After Erin's mother passed away, he had no idea what he would become.

Next, George asked some other questions, which Erin answered very frankly.

As they continued to talk, George learned more and more about Erin, and his expression towards Erin became increasingly gentle.

While they were exchanging ideas, Erin's hands were also busy.

Although this lemon sea bass doesn't look very appealing, it tastes exceptionally delicious.

Helen selects only the freshest sea bass, delivered directly from the port.

The addition of lemon's fragrance neutralizes the fishy smell of the sea bass and elevates its freshness to a whole new level. Paired with the special sauce, this dish is surprisingly delicious, much to Erin's surprise.

No wonder Helen served this dish as the main course to Erin.

In addition to the main course of lemon sea bass, Helen also prepared some other side dishes and fruit for dessert.

A sumptuous dinner was served, and Erin nodded repeatedly, praising Helen's culinary skills.

Helen's smile never stopped as she listened.

However, Helen is indeed quite skilled in cooking.

I wonder how George managed to win over Helen, such a beautiful woman who was equally elegant in public and capable in the kitchen.

After the sumptuous dinner, Erin prepared to take his leave.

After all, it was getting late, and if they stayed any longer, did Erin really intend to spend the night at Gwen's house?

······

In the living room, Erin said to George and Helen, who were cleaning up the kitchen in the dining area, "Mr. George, Mrs. Helen, thank you for the invitation. The lemon sea bass was delicious. Thank you, I'll be going now."

Helen smiled and said, "You can come again next time you have time."

As she spoke, Helen glanced at Gwen and said, "Gwen, go and see Erin off."

"Okay, Mom."

After Gwen nodded to George and Helen, she prepared to leave with Erin.

At this moment, George, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up and said, "I'll take her. The security situation in New York has been a bit chaotic lately. I'll just drive Erin back home later; it'll be safer that way. Gwen, you stay and help your mother tidy up the kitchen."

After washing his hands, George put on his coat, took out his car keys, and led Erin out the door.

Gwen grimaced at the sight, but ultimately succumbed to George's authority.

After giving Erin an apologetic look, he obediently went to the kitchen to help Helen clean up the mess.

Close the door.

George led Erin directly down to the underground parking garage.

Then he took out his car key and pressed it. The next second, two beeps sounded in the underground parking garage.

"Mr. George, it's so late, I'll just take a taxi home, you don't need to see me off."

George waved his hand: "You saved my daughter, isn't it only right that I give you a ride? Besides, I wasn't bluffing, there have indeed been a lot of things happening in New York lately for some reason."

"Many of them went missing while taking taxis at night. So don't delay, get in the car."

As he spoke, George patted the door of his beloved car.

Is that right?

Erin was taken aback for a moment, but eventually got into the car obediently.

As soon as he got into the car and fastened his seatbelt, George handed a small box to Erin.

"Mr. George? What's this?"

George said, "This is a gift for you, as a thank you for saving Gwen. It's nothing valuable, just take it."
