American comics: The Savior Who Started with Vampires

Chapter 300 A Peaceful Town

Newts is a remote, scenic town on the outskirts of New York City, a place where many wealthy New Yorkers spend their leisure time.

However, with the moon shining brightly and the stars few in the sky, the once quiet and peaceful town seemed somewhat different today.

ahh-

The long howl of wolves echoed from the distant woods into the town. A man, looking tired and slightly thin, leaned back on the sofa, put down his wine glass, stood up, gestured for his son to stay on the sofa, and cautiously peered out the window.

"Good heavens, why are wolves howling here!"

A gasp came from the guesthouse next door, indicating that other guests staying there had noticed what was happening outside.

"Dad, is this a wolf? Why does it sound so creepy?"

Harry stared wide-eyed, leaning back on the sofa, hugging a cushion, and exclaimed in disbelief. As if he had just realized something, he quickly reached for his phone on the coffee table, turned on the camera, and pointed it at the window, intending to run to the window to record a video. However, his father, Norman, stopped him.

"Danger! Wolves are very ferocious animals, unlike the rabbits we usually hunt."

Norman glanced warily out the window. His family had recently received funding from the Evernight Group, which greatly alleviated the Osborn Group's current financial difficulties and resolved the Osborn family's economic crisis that had lasted for nearly three months.

Norman, who was in a rare good mood today, took his somewhat rebellious son to enjoy some leisure time. They even specially chose a famous wealthy town on the outskirts of New York City. Unexpectedly, after only two days of playing, on the second day, they heard wolves howling at night.

Good heavens, didn't the developers of Newts town say that there were only some harmless wild animals around for the rich to hunt?

How can there be such a cunning and ferocious animal as a wolf?

Putting aside his jumbled thoughts, Norman quickly went to the storage room of the guesthouse. Looking at the long-barreled shotgun on it, a hint of determination appeared in his eyes. As someone who was used to hunting, he didn't think it was just an ordinary wolf.

A wolf's howl wouldn't have such strong penetrating power; the eerie sound seemed to contain some unimaginable ferocity.

Norman was well-versed in this subject, and the wolf's howl did not frighten him but instead aroused his curiosity.

Perhaps I could capture one as a sample and bring it back to the company for research?

Having quickly finalized his idea, Norman Osborne, with his exceptional execution skills, strode out of the room carrying a fully loaded shotgun, gesturing for his son Harry to stay inside.

"Don't worry, those beasts usually don't break into private homes, Harry. I need you to stay quietly in this room and not go out!"

Norman spoke calmly, his voice slightly indifferent.

In such a critical situation, his rationality far outweighs his emotions. Even though his son was already somewhat panicked, he still had no intention of comforting him.

For Norman, the greatest comfort is to resolve the current crisis!

Click...

The door to the room opened, and Norman frowned slightly as he watched a family of three from another guesthouse nearby rushing over in a panic.

"Mr. Norman, are you alright?"

The middle-aged man asked anxiously, startled by the continuous howling of wolves.

"Ben, May! You should stay in your rooms instead of running around outside. Those wolves might spot you!"

Norman said in a deep voice, glancing at Peter Parker, who looked rather thin, and then casually ruffled his hair.

"Could you stay with my son Harry for a while? I'm a little worried about leaving him alone in the house!"

The entire Parker family in front of them had been invited by Norman Osborn. To avoid an awkward atmosphere between himself and his son, he had specially invited his son's good friend, as well as his adoptive parents.

The process went well, and their relationship may have grown closer, but the ending might not be so pleasant. The howling of wolves made Norman Osborne realize that things were getting increasingly wrong.

"Yes, Mr. Norman! But what do you mean by this?"

Ben Parker looked at Norman's attire with surprise. The ammunition strapped to his belt gleamed with a golden light in the dim light, while Norman Osborn carried the menacing long-barreled shotgun on his back.

His actions spoke volumes, causing Ben Parker and May, who was standing nearby, to show expressions of worry.

"Don't worry, it's just a bunch of rambunctious wolves. I'm just assessing the situation; they don't intend to do anything!"

Norman Osborn, of course, wouldn't reveal that he wanted to kill a wolf and bring it back to the company as a specimen.

This could very well cause panic among the ordinary family in front of them.

After all, the words "killing" and "wolf" together always evoke a lot of thoughts.

"Alright, Mr. Norman, I will protect your son!"

Ben Parker, who was not particularly shrewd, nodded seriously. He assumed that Norman Osborn just wanted to find out what was going on outside the guesthouse, which gave them a sense of security.

After saying that, Ben Parker quickly pulled Peter Parker, whose eyes were looking at the woods with some fear, and went into the room with his wife.

The two best friends immediately hugged each other.

"Peter! You heard that, wolf! That's so cool!"

Of course, he couldn't show any fear in front of his good brother. Looking at Harry, who looked like an adult, he patted his already muscular chest and said excitedly.

"Ha, what's so cool about that? You know, this is practically the middle of nowhere. Wolves are pack animals; they're the most dangerous animals in the wild, bar none. They're cunning and ferocious, bloodthirsty and brave. You shouldn't think they're cool!"

Peter frowned and said in a deep voice, adding, "Mr. Norman shouldn't be outside either!"

"Peter, aren't you incredibly cowardly?"

Harry suddenly opened his arms and wrapped them around Peter Parker's neck, pulling him close. The two excitedly went to the window, their eyes fixed on the dark forest outside.

A sudden gust of wind caused the fallen leaves in the forest to collide wildly, creating a constant rustling sound.

This strange sound, mixed with the howling wind, made the outside world seem even more eerie and unpredictable.

Harry's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly concealed the fleeting panic that crossed his mind.

Even if he wants to act cool, he is still just a 14-year-old boy, and his mental development has not yet reached a stage that matches his physique.

"Harry, are you scared?"

"Me? Peter, it's clearly you who's scared, don't drag me into it! I'm not scared!"

"You're just scared!"

"I'm not afraid!"

Watching the two children, one tall and one short, bickering, Ben Parker and May exchanged glances, their panic subsiding slightly.

As time passed, the wind outside grew stronger, and the howling of wolves could still be heard intermittently.

"Why hasn't Dad come back yet?"

Harry was starting to feel anxious; Norman Osborne had been gone for some time now, carrying his spear.

"Harry, trust your father, he'll be alright!"

A smile spread across Ben Parker's face. As an adult, he thought more than the two children in front of him.

The increasingly frequent howls of wolves and the deep darkness outside filled this peaceful and tranquil town with an air of crisis, and Norman Osborne, who was alone to investigate the situation, had not yet returned, which was already quite unusual.

He turned on his phone, but there was no signal. Ben Parker's face turned very pale.

Awoo~

The long, loud wolf howl seemed to be right next to their ears, and everyone in the room instinctively curled up. Harry and Peter ran straight behind the sofa and hid themselves on the inside, no longer daring to go near the window.

"God! Ben, is that wolf around our house?"

With her golden hair falling casually over her shoulders, Mei frantically grabbed her husband's wrist.

"Mei, relax, everything will be alright!"

Bang bang bang bang bang——

The intense gunfire, faintly audible in the howling wind, threw everyone into complete panic. Ben Parker stared incredulously at his wife.

The intense gunfire, accompanied by the howls of wolves, clearly indicated that the situation outside was dire.

"Is that Dad?"

Harry was a little excited, knowing that Norman Osborn had taken a long-barreled shotgun with him when he left.

"No, it's not your father. The gunfire is too intense. Maybe it's the police coming to reinforce us?"

Ben's brain performs rapid analysis.

Awoo~

The long, drawn-out wolf howl seemed to echo in their ears, and everyone covered their ears tightly. The eerie wolf howl, seemingly carrying a special frequency, made their hearts pound wildly.

The other party was very close.

At that moment, Ben and May both gestured to Harry and Peter to be quiet.

The room fell into a deathly silence. The howling wind outside and the faint sound of gunfire carried by the wind gradually subsided.

Just as Ben, Harry, and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

boom!

A muffled gunshot shattered the peace that had barely been maintained.

Amidst the fierce howls of wolves, gunshots mingled with the eerie wolf howls. Unlike before, this gunshot was very close to them, seemingly right outside the house!

A flicker of surprise crossed Ben Parker's eyes, while May frantically gestured to Harry and Peter to keep quiet.

"Fuck!"

"roar!"

The familiar shouts and eerie roars mingled together, and Harry instantly stood up from behind the sofa.

His face was filled with terror, and he frantically rushed towards the door of the house.

"dad!"

That's Norman Osborn's voice!

At that moment, Ben Parker also stood up, but unlike Harry who rushed straight to the door, he rushed towards the gun storage room.

Yu Mei grabbed Peter, who was trying to stop Harry, and I heard her calling out to Honey not to go out.

Yes, the change happened instantly and dramatically!
