"Whoo~"
After tasting the fresh soup, Ye Li put the bowl back on the table. A blue arc of electricity sparked from his finger, lightly tapping the back of Cindy's hand———
"Ah~...."
A slight paralyzing current passed through, making the girl's body go soft as she trembled slightly from the shock.
Even the usually quiet and gentle Cindy pouted in annoyance, "Mmm...! Li, what are you doing!?"
Ye Li smirked mischievously, "Which is stronger? The Black Spider's lightning or mine~?"
"You're awful."
Cindy saw Ye Li's fingertip still pressing on the back of her hand, ready to release more electricity. She slapped his finger away and spoke playfully, "Darling~ You, you're the strongest, okay?"
"Hehe~"
Ye Li knew when to stop and didn't tease her further. He withdrew his finger from her hand, then raised his hand to play with her hair and asked, "Cindy, do you remember what I said this af~ternoon?"
"Ah..."
…..
"Hurry up! Hurry- up! Faster!"
"I want all traffic restored before tomorrow morning!"
The foreman barked orders with authority.
The destruction in New York City was being repaired overnight.
As for the Chitauri's leftover tech weapons, they were divided among various interested parties.
As for the Chitauri's leftover tech weapons, they were divided among various interested parties.
Of course, inevitably... some leftover debris was secretly taken by opportunistic nobodies.
But that wasn't important.
…..
Nick Fury, watching the city's streets gradually being restored on the screen, finally felt a sense of ease.
He began thinking about other issues—
"So where did that nuclear bomb go? And how did the senators mysteriously vanish...?"
"According to the latest intelligence..."
Hill speculated as she analyzed the data panel.
"There was almost nothing left at the scene of the council chamber... except for intense nuclear radiation with highly abnormal readings... This might be related to the missing nuke..."
"The higher-ups are putting a lot of pressure on us..."
Fury rested his elbows on the table, his chin against his clasped hands, looking extremely frustrated.
"Some idiots even suspect me of doing it... Motherf—!"
Cindy's face turned crimson.
Due to the earlier electric stimulation, combined with the special attraction hormones triggered by her spider senses.
…..
Cindy's face turned bright red.
Because of the electric stimulation earlier, combined with that unique attraction hormone from her spider-sense.
She could no longer suppress her feelings for Ye Li.
"Li... I want to kiss you..."
The girl actually took the initiative to wrap her arms around the man's neck, her long lashes trembling, leaning in———
…..
Step, step.
"I've been away from New York for so long... How did it become like this?"
Due to traffic congestion.
A disheveled yet handsome man, only arriving in the city by nightfall, felt a sense of unfamiliarity with the surroundings.
"Hey, sir, could you lend a hand?"
A woman's small electric scooter was stuck in broken concrete debris. She tried hard to pull it out, but it wouldn't budge.
She had no choice but to sincerely ask this passing man for help, "Just help me lift it a bit, my daughter is missing, I need to get to the police station right away....."
"Sigh.... Ma'am.... I want to help but can't..."
The disheveled man raised his hands, both wrapped in thin bandages... It looked like he had recently undergone surgery.
The woman froze. "I'm sorry... sir..."
She saw the faint sorrow and pain in the man's eyes, assuming he had been injured in the battle of New York, and gently comforted him.
"…Don't be too sad, it's all over now. The superheroes saved us..."
"Superheroes... like Stark? …Too bad I couldn't remove the shrapnel from his chest…"
Strange murmured to himself…
He had traveled across the world, visiting countless top doctors, yet he still couldn't heal his hands…
The once-brilliant genius had had his sharp edges worn down…
"Mommy!"
A voice called out in delight!
A little girl holding a balloon happily ran towards the woman!
Behind her were two figures—Matilda and Lewis.
"I'll handle it."
Matilda raised her small hand and effortlessly pulled the scooter free— clack...!
…..
Strange saw the reunited mother and daughter, took out a parchment scroll, and stared at it thoughtfully, "Who can help me... maybe only Li..... I have to ask him....."
He placed his last hope in the uncertain realm of magic.
But before heading to Nepal, he wanted to return to New York to see Ye Li.
…..
"Thank you! Thank you so much!"
"No problem, we'll be going now."
Matilda bid farewell to the mother and daughter, gradually walking away.
The floating Meow-Meow Ball beside her was quite eye-catching.
Strange's gaze was drawn to it. "Technology? Or magic… Is magic real...?"
"Of course, there's magic."
The woman, now overjoyed to have found her child, enthusiastically took out her phone and showed him a photo. "Didn't you see? That huge rune in the sky, and the loud thunder?"
"I took the subway here; the roads were too blocked."
Strange took the phone and saw the thunder rune that Ye Li had summoned. "What is this?"
"This is magic."
The woman explained, "I was busy looking for my child, so I only took one picture. You can find more online."
"Thank you!"
Strange hurriedly took out his phone and searched for the latest news about New York City—
[Superheroes saved us! Long live the Club! Long live the Female Knight!]
[And Iron Man! Captain America! Oh my god, I don't know how Captain Rogers...]
[Thunder Magic! A god saved us!]
[…..]
.... .... ....
The more he read.
The tighter he gripped the parchment scroll...
What he was holding onto...
Was the light of hope...
…..
"Mmm...."
Ye Li responded to Cindy's passionate advances, using a few tricks of his own.
Not just weak electric currents.
But also the Golden Light Spell and Shockwave Abilities.
Her beautiful eyes gradually lost focus as a result.
…..
On a floating meteorite fragment.
"Earthlings... They are not as weak as we imagined."
The Chitauri leader knelt before a throne.
It tried to justify itself.
"Among them are many monsters..."
"To challenge them..."
"Is simply seeking death..."
Crack.
On the throne.
A figure in dark golden armor stood up.
The Mad Titan turned his head and smiled coldly...
…..
The next day at noon.
Everything fell into place.
Beep———
Ye Li was woken up by a call from his little girlfriends.
After explaining.
Gwen and the others understood he'd just been fooling around outside and hadn't run into any danger, so they felt relieved.
After finishing the calls.
Ye Li tenderly looked at poor Cindy, still sleeping deeply beside him...
Not to mention how she was hunted, perhaps because of that special attraction, the girl was even more sensitive than any woman he'd ever had...
Buzz——
Just then, another call came in.
"Oh."
Ye Li picked up the phone he'd just put down and checked——
[Incoming Call: Stephen]
