The m, as usual, Peter hopped into his neighbee's car after breakfast.
"Peter, don't worry. The NYPD has the ability to keep you safe. We've already deployed our forces across the city."
A few days ago, Midtown Tech High had been attacked by the Green Goblin, aer had slept for two days straight. Gee thought he must have been traumatized.
"I'm fine, Uncle Gee."
Gwen, sitting in the back of the police car, listeo their versation but didn't feel like chiming in.
Thanks to her superpowers, her physical abilities had improved dramatically. The wound on her back from the Rhino had already scabbed over.
At the same time, she was thinking about something else.
Peter, that big idiot!!
Last time at Peter's house, he had treated her wound so tenderly and acted s.
But she had been wearing her mask at the time!!!
It wasn't until she got home that Gwen realized—Peter had shifted his affe!
In the past, Peter had never shown any i in dating her.
But Gwen had always thought it was only a matter of time.
Yet, he had been so geh a masked woman of unknown in!!
Even though that woman was herself!
Gwen crossed her arms, her golden hair looking especially beautiful, though her face showed a hint of jealousy.
Yes, she was jealous of herself.
But she couldn't say anything. It wasn't like she could show up in her Spider-Woman suit, walk into Peter's room, rip off her mask, and surprise him.
"Gwen, you seem a bit off today."
As her father, Gee noticed that Gwen wasn't her usual self.
"Am I prettier than usual?"
"My daughter has always beeiful. Don't you think so, Peter?"
Peter nodded.
"Yeah, Gwen's really popur at school. I remember people were already chasing after her when we first started high school."
Gee smiled at this.
"So, Peter, you'd better step up yame."
Gwen's fair face turned bright red.
"Dad!"
This made Peter feel a bit awkward.
Gee was basically telling him to go after his daughter right in front of him.
He really trusted Peter.
Peter turo look at Gwen, who pyfully stuck out her to him.
Suddenly, she froze.
"Peter, where are ysses?!"
Gwen had felt something was off earlier but couldn't quite put her finger on it.
Now she realized—Peter's gsses were gone.
Once she noticed this difference, more ges became apparent.
"You've also gotten taller and more muscur!"
"What's going oer?!"
In Gwen's memory, Peter had always been frail, the type who could eat endlessly without gaini.
He wasn't tall either, even a bit shorter than her.
"Dad, pull over for a sed."
At his daughter's reminder, Gee also noticed the ges ier.
Gwen got out of the police car and pulled Peter out with her.
Standing side by side, Peter was now a full head taller than her.
His posture was also more upright.
If Peter were a pnt, he used to be a wilted eggpnt, but now he was a t tree!
He was no lohe shrunken high school student he used to be.
"Peter, what's going on?"
Gee asked with . He had never seen anything like this before.
Well, ly.
When Gee was a kid, he had seen posters of Captain America.
He had gone from a weak soldier to a powerful warrior.
Unfortunately, his pne had crashed, and he resumed dead.
Ever sier got the system and acquired the Yan Shuangyie, he had anticipated that people would notice the ges.
So, he had already prepared a response.
"I don't know what happened. Maybe I was so scared after the Green Goblin attacked the school that I slept for two days straight. When I woke up, I was like this."
Gwen and her father exged gnces, digesting their surprise.
Could that really happen?!
Gwen looked at Peter now, uo hide the joy in her eyes.
She used to think she wasn't shallow, that handsome guys couldn't catch her attention.
But now, it seemed she retty shallow after all…
Her eyes couldn't help but wander over Peter's face.
The curreer was really full of mase charm!
"Uncle Gee, let's keep going. The road he school gets really gested!"
Gee nodded.
"Get in!"
Leaning ba the passenger seat, Peter subtly steered the versation toward the Rhino.
"Uncle Gee, do you have any leads on that Rhino guy who robbed the bank?"
Hearing this, Gee's expression darkened.
"No idea. All we know is that the guy ial armor is Russian. As for where he is now, no one knows."
"I've fought him before. That guy's wearing a metal suit that bullets 't pee."
"Even if we knew his location, we'd need a detailed pn of attack."
"Otherwise, there'd be heavy casualties."
"Last time, one of my colleagues died at his hands."
Peter nodded and didn't say anything more.
He hadn't read many i his past life, so he didn't know much about the Rhino.
But ohing was certain—he had hurt Gwen, and he would pay for it!
