I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 483

The entrance to Columbia Business School.

The goddess statue, cast entirely in bronze and standing 2.538 meters tall, wears a floor-length dress and sits on a simply decorated yet solemn throne.

She holds a royal scepter in her right hand, topped with a crown supported by four ears of wheat. An open book of learning rests on the goddess's lap. She bends her left arm and stretches it outward, as if welcoming campus visitors and new students.

The drizzling rain pattered against the rusty surface of the statue, creating a thin, hazy mist that added a touch of mystery to the historically significant sculpture.

Jingle Bell!

Amidst the echoing crisp sounds, Gwen Stacy, having finished her day of classes, coldly rejected those who tried to strike up a conversation before meeting up with her best friend Ilya, who was walking from a short distance away. Together, they headed towards the school gate.

After glancing at the group of boys behind her who were reluctant to leave, a hint of disgust flashed in Ilya's eyes.

"Gwen, how many times have you rejected these guys? Why haven't those annoying flies given up yet?"

"Hmph! Just wait, I'll have my boyfriend come over early tomorrow and teach these guys a lesson. Let's see if they dare to bother you again."

Ilya's boyfriend is a member of the school's rugby team. He's tall, strong, and exceptionally handsome. He could easily pick up any of the weaklings from the business school with one hand.

Having him come over might not get rid of all the annoying flies around Gwen, but it could at least give Gwen some peace and quiet for a while.

After thinking about her best friend's suggestion for a moment, Gwen smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Thank you then, Ilya."

Sometimes, the difference between boys and girls appearing in public is quite significant.

When she first enrolled, Gwen, who was annoyed by the flies, took matters into her own hands to deal with them. However, this did not scare them away. Instead, it added a touch of unique charm to the sweet Gwen, making her increasingly popular at school.

However, after Ilya had her boyfriend step in and teach a few annoying guys a lesson, those people quieted down for a while.

"You're my dearest best friend, isn't it only right that I help you?"

As Ilya walked hand-in-hand with Gwen toward the school gate, she chuckled softly, then sighed slightly: "If only Erin were still here. If he were here, I bet those annoying guys wouldn't dare utter a sound, let alone show their faces in front of you."

Besides being a highly respected superhero, Erin is also the founder of the unicorn company Miracle Corporation.

If Erin were still here.

With his status, a single word from him would be enough to cause these elite students from Columbia University's business school to run into obstacles everywhere after graduation.

No, you don't need to graduate.

Whenever Erin gives the word, those who want to befriend him will subject these business school elites and their families to brutal beatings from society.

Ah!

Does a woman who dares to pursue a superhero and financial tycoon like this have a death wish?

Unfortunately, Gwen's boyfriend has completely disappeared since the last fusion of the Nine Realms.

Some even say he died in the great war that swept across the nine worlds.

If it weren't for that, even with a few orders from those business school elites, they wouldn't dare to bother Gwen.

"Erin..."

Upon hearing the name Erin from her best friend, Gwen's eyes dimmed slightly.

Although Gwen was certain that Arryn would be alright, knowing his abilities, several months had passed since the great war that brought the Nine Realms together.

There was no news for several months.

Even though Gwen had great faith in Erin, a feeling of worry still arose in her heart.

After keenly noticing the change in her best friend's emotions.

Ilya wanted to slap herself.

Why did that lousy mouth have to bring up that name out of the blue?

But just then, a voice that Ilya knew very well, and even remembered vividly, suddenly rang out beside her.

"Someone actually dared to harass Gwen while I was away? Ha, what audacity!"

The moment that chilling voice rang out, Gwen's dim eyes lit up instantly, radiating a captivating brilliance.

And just as Gwen looked up...

Behind them, a series of terrified screams and a thud as a heavy object fell to the ground suddenly rang out.

"Bang bang bang!"

In an instant, those figures who were following Gwen and Ilya, or even further away, fell to the ground one after another.

This sudden scene instantly caused a commotion in the corridor, accompanied by a series of screams.

·······

Seeing the familiar figure suddenly appear before her and Gwen, Ilya rubbed her eyes and said in disbelief, "Eirin?"

The person who appeared before Ilya and Gwen was none other than Erin, who had just returned to Earth.

After contacting Fregra and asking him to help settle the four dwarven airships that had returned with him, as well as the accompanying dwarven race, he...

Erin then located Gwen through "Lo's" search and rushed over immediately, appearing before them.

Seeing Ilya staring at him in disbelief, Erin joked:

"What? It's only been a few months, and you don't recognize me anymore? I even put in a good word for you and had Gwen lend you that black gold card from Winston's Dream Restaurant a few times, and this expression of yours is really disappointing, Ilya."

Under Gwen's instructions, Ilya never revealed to anyone that she obtained the Winston Dream Restaurant black card from Gwen.

So after Erin told her about it.

Ilya then confirmed that Erin's identity was correct.

In fact, she didn't even need to confirm it.

Just by seeing that instant when she abandoned herself and then plunged into Erin's arms, tightly embracing Erin's best friend Gwen, Ilya was certain of Erin's identity.

After all, apart from Erin, there wouldn't be anyone else in the world who would make her best friend react like that.

······

Feeling the strength of Gwen's tight embrace, and the almost overflowing emotion that seemed to suggest that she was afraid Erin would disappear from her sight if she let go.

A feeling of guilt welled up inside Erin, who also wrapped her arms around Gwen and gently patted her back, saying, "I'm back."

One sentence later.

It has overcome everything.

This instantly calmed Gwen's uneasy emotions.

······

Watching the two of them, so engrossed in their own world, embracing each other without a care in the world.

Ilya, who had just been showered with PDA, pouted for a moment, then genuinely felt happy for her best friend.

And until then.

Ilya seemed to have just noticed the commotion behind her.

He turned his head and looked at the figures lying haphazardly on the ground behind him, their fates unknown.

Recalling Erin's first words, Ilya suddenly couldn't help but swallow hard.

These guys... are they dead?!

Thinking of this, Ilya glanced at Erin with a strange sense of guilt. Over the past few months, seeing her melancholy best friend, Ilya had secretly cursed Erin as a bastard quite a bit.

If Erin finds out about these things, will he also have to "die"?

Hearing the screams and several alarm calls coming from the crowd behind her, Ilya, feeling uneasy, swallowed hard and interrupted Erin and Gwen, who were passionately embracing in front of her.

"Hey, Erin, what did you mean by that last sentence? You were the one who did all those people lying on the ground behind us, weren't you? They wouldn't... be dead, would they?!"

Awakened by Ilya's slightly trembling words, Gwen couldn't help but lift her head from Erin's arms, then turn to look at the panicked crowd behind her and the figures lying on the ground.

Looking at the figures lying on the ground and hearing the terrified cries of alarm from the police, Gwen felt a pang of worry.

She wasn't worried about whether the fallen guys lived or died, but rather that Erin might go too far in the heat of the moment.

Very few ordinary people can get into Columbia Business School.

If Erin were to go too far and cause serious harm to these people, even with Erin's current status and position, he might face some trouble.

However, before Gwen could speak, Erin gently patted her back again, and the gentle emotional waves from Erin's palm quickly soothed Gwen's unease.

Then Erin said softly, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. They're not dead yet. I just gave these people a 'small' lesson and scared them into fainting."

When Ilia heard that the people who had fallen to the ground had fainted from fright, her tense nerves immediately relaxed.

It's good that the person didn't die.

Although it's unclear how Erin accurately identified those who had harassed Gwen and instantly terrified them, as long as no one died, it wasn't a big deal in the Federation.

At worst, I can just pay some money back later.

Given Erin's wealth, he probably wouldn't even care about the small amount of money he lost.

but.

Are those people really just as frightened as they fainted?

Ha ha.

Erin was not about to let those people get away with trying to take advantage of his absence by making advances on his girlfriend.

Before "scaring" these people unconscious, Erin also used illusions to leave an indelible shadow in their hearts.

from now on.

These people would probably be so scared of Gwen that they'd run away in terror, let alone even think about making a move on her.

In addition to that.

Erin also gave these people some "favor from the Grim Reaper".

Whether these guys can withstand "Death's favor" is not something Erin needs to worry about.

Whether by choice or by force, I've saved New York quite a few times.

And this is how these people repay me after I've only been gone for a few months.

Just now, in the minds of those people, Erin even saw that some of them were deliberately approaching Gwen with a "mission".

It was precisely for this reason that Erin, with a strange fire rising in his heart, did not hesitate to deal a heavy blow to these people.

He glanced coldly at the people lying on the ground.

Arlin, turning to look at Gwen, quickly concealed the chill in the depths of her eyes, replacing it with an unyielding tenderness.

After gently ruffling Gwen's hair, Erin said softly, "Alright, let's leave these people behind and go."

After being away for several months, it was a long and difficult time before I finally returned.

Arlin has a lot to say to Gwen right now.

Of course, Gwen also had a lot to say to Erin after meeting him.

They didn't want to waste such precious time on those people.

Looking at the growing crowd around them, Ilya asked uncertainly, "Can we just ignore this?"

These people were scared unconscious by Erin. Is it really okay for them to just leave like this?

As Erin spoke, he turned his head and glanced meaningfully at a corner not far away before saying to Ilya, "Don't worry, someone will handle the rest."

"I see!"

Upon hearing that someone would come to handle the situation, Ilya, who was already somewhat carefree, immediately stopped worrying.

So they really stopped caring about those people.

After all, she already disliked those guys who were bothering Gwen. To be honest, Erin's act of scaring these people into fainting was quite in line with Ilya's personality.

Because it's very satisfying.

Relieved of her worries, Ilya looked at her best friend, whose eyes were practically glued to Erin, and clicked her tongue in disapproval, saying, "Hey, hey, hey, those eyes are practically drooling! Can you two please be a little more mindful of your image..."

"Fine, considering you let Gwen borrow my Winston Dream Restaurant Black Card a few times before, I won't be a third wheel for you two."

As she spoke, Ilya glanced at the rain outside the building, then pulled a car key from her pocket and said to the two of them, "Would you like me, your best friend, to go all the way and give you two a ride home?"

"Hmm, delivering it to the nearest hotel is fine too."

Upon hearing this, Gwen rolled her eyes at her best friend, clearly annoyed.

Erin, standing to the side, chuckled and shook her head: "No need, my car is right outside."

On the way to Columbia University, Erin asked Fregra to send a car over at the same time.

Because of the distance, the car sent by Fregra was already waiting for Erin outside the university before Erin even arrived.

Looking at the car key Erin pulled out, Ilya pouted: "Okay, I almost forgot you're a billionaire."

"In that case, I won't be a third wheel for you two."

As she spoke, Ilya whispered a few words in Gwen's ear, then, amidst Gwen's angry glare, she cheerfully opened her umbrella and ran into the rain.

"This guy..."

Recalling Ilya's words of "be careful" and "don't cause any deaths" that Ilya had just whispered in her ear, Gwen rolled her eyes at Ilya as she ran away, and her ears turned slightly red.
