I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 104 The Spirit Cat Has Gone Mad!

Harboring complex emotions, as if their positions had reversed, Kingpin constantly adjusted the surveillance angle, keeping a close eye on Spider-Man's movements while secretly praying that Alexei, that idiot, would at least use his brain and not lead Spider-Man upstairs!

Fortunately, whether Rhino heard Kingpin's prayer or was simply too stupid to remember how to enter the core area of ​​Kingpin's criminal empire while being chased by Spider-Man, it's unclear.

Since entering Fisk Tower, Rhino has been like a headless fly, leading Spider-Man back and forth on the ground floor of Fisk Tower, except for smashing through a few walls.

As Kingpin watched the chase unfold on the surveillance footage, his heart, which had been pounding with anxiety, finally began to relax a little.

Even Rhino, who had effectively diverted Spider-Man's attention, subtly changed his opinion of him. He even found the idiot somewhat pleasing to the eye now.

However, the fact that Kingpin was able to become the emperor of the underworld is enough to show that in addition to his own great strength and ruthless methods, he also had an outstanding mind.

So, after a brief moment of relaxation, watching the Rhino on the surveillance footage—a game resembling a real-life cat-and-mouse game, where he seemed about to be caught by Spider-Man but always managed to narrowly escape—Kingpin's previously relaxed brows gradually furrowed again.

Not right.

Something's definitely not right...

Kingpin has studied Spider-Man's abilities quite a bit.

Given Rhino's strength and intelligence, it's reasonable to say that he was lucky enough to escape Spider-Man's clutches once or twice.

But to be able to persist for so long...

This is not up to the standard expected of a Rhino!

If he were truly that powerful, able to withstand Spider-Man's attacks for so long, he should have already returned yesterday with the Iron X element to report back when the spaceship crashed!

Unless, Spider-Man was deliberately toying with Rhino, or...

Spider-Man had already guessed that Kingpin was very wary of him and had long known Kingpin's true identity. However, for a certain purpose, he didn't choose to directly confront Kingpin and declare war, but instead used this method to distract Kingpin!

But what's the point of this?

What could Spider-Man possibly have in his own Fisk Tower that would warrant such a elaborate scheme and performance by him?

...Wait a minute, it seems there really is one!

Super Soldier Serum—!!!

Upon realizing this, Kingpin's mind exploded like a thunderclap from a clear sky.

With his thoughts instantly clear, Kingpin didn't dare to waste a moment and quickly adjusted the monitoring view on his computer, arriving near the cell where Walter Hardy was being held.

Then, as expected, the black cat was seen sneaking around the patrolling security personnel, constantly approaching the cell.

Clearly, this mischievous kitten is utterly disloyal. Without me even noticing, it somehow managed to contact Spider-Man and successfully obtain his assistance!

Unfortunately, the kitten's tricks were still too naive.

To think you can fool him, the emperor of the underworld, with such a simple trick is simply wishful thinking!

Well then, since the kitten is so unruly and has caused me such a big problem.

So, as a renowned philanthropist in New York City, let him personally help send these two cats, one old and one young, to another world to reunite!

As for the follow-up testing of the super soldier serum...

Black Cat's previous actions have proven that the effects of the Super Soldier Serum are stable and powerful in the short term.

Kingpin's men were always filled with loyal followers who were willing to die for his ambitions.

As a result, the current gains are still far from meeting Kingpin's expectations.

But it's more than enough to form a suicide squad, one that's qualified to challenge Spider-Man.

Thinking of this, Kingpin's eyes suddenly turned sinister and dangerous.

After a series of operations on the computer, he ordered all the security personnel located nearby to assemble at Walter Hardy's cell.

To ensure absolute safety, Kingpin himself descended rapidly in his chair. Hidden within the intricate network of secret passages, concealed since the construction of Fisk Tower, they swiftly reached the outside of Walter Hardy's cell.

When the security personnel blocking the only entrance to the cell made way for Kingpin, he, as expected, saw the black cat with its claws outstretched, looking as if facing a formidable enemy, inside the now-open cell.

And next to the black cat, Walter Hardy, dressed in a black bodysuit and mask, completely covered from head to toe, had transformed back into his cat form.

Clearly, if Kingpin had reacted even a dozen seconds slower, the father and daughter, who had been injected with the super soldier serum, would have slipped away from his grasp without him even noticing!

"It truly breaks my heart. I risked everything to save you from S.H.I.E.L.D.'s pursuit... and this is how you repay your savior? You think contacting that Spider-Man will make you a match for Kingpin, and you've already escaped with your father?"

This allowed Kingpin to breathe a sigh of relief, and then he pretended to be heartbroken, sneering at the black cat's overestimation of his abilities.

He then snapped his fingers, signaling armed security personnel to come forward and shoot Hardy and his daughter, who were now cornered.

"Fortunately, you two are no longer of any use to me... Deal with them, and remember to dispose of the bodies cleanly. Make Spider-Man think that they were just taken hostages and moved to another place, so he won't dare to attack me for the time being."

After saying this, Kingpin, confident that the crisis was resolved, turned around, intending to evacuate Fisk Tower, which had become unsafe due to Spider-Man's invasion, before Spider-Man noticed anything amiss.

But soon, the gunshots that Kingpin heard gradually subsided, and were replaced by screams of agony.

And amidst these screams, there were not only no women's voices, but the number of screams was clearly more than two!

This made Kim's heart skip a beat.

Turning around abruptly, I was utterly astonished, as if I had seen a ghost, watching helplessly as the spirit cat, who had stepped forward to stand in front of the black cat, emerged unscathed from the hail of bullets!

Of course, if you look closely, you will find that the civet cat was indeed hit by a bullet.

Each bullet, upon striking the Spirit Cat's body, seemed to hit the surface of water, creating only ripples before quickly disappearing into the Spirit Cat's battle suit, as if swallowed by the suit and vanishing mysteriously.

Even more deadly, two jet-black gun barrels had somehow appeared on the cat's shoulders, one on each side. They were now spitting fire, relentlessly and accurately striking vital points, rapidly killing Kingpin's security personnel, as if summoned by the Grim Reaper!

Before long, the security personnel who had been blocking the cell exit were piled up haphazardly and lost all signs of life, wiped out by the Spirit Cat alone!

At that moment, the gun barrel on the cat's shoulder was also aimed at Kingpin.

The cat standing before Kingpin, with a slight undulation of its mask, used Walter Hardy's aged, hoarse voice to mock Kingpin mercilessly.

"You seem to have misunderstood something, Kingpin... You're the one who should be running away now."

"You are the challenger."
