Chapter 124 Peter, the front-row spectator

Of course, after all that work, if Riley and Peter chose to go home, as students they would still need to go to school every day, they certainly wouldn't be able to get enough sleep.

So, after his experience at the Daily Bugle during the day, Riley, who had a vague idea of ​​what was going on, called home to let them know he was safe upon returning to District 13. He claimed that Harry was too bored at home alone and insisted on dragging the Parker brothers to play with him, so he wouldn't be coming home that night. In order to allay his parents' concerns and let Harry unknowingly take the blame, he could get a small revenge on Harry for using Riley as a "Monkey King."

When the next day arrived, the Parker brothers, having had a comfortable sleep in District 13, set off for school with Jade and Felicia, who now lived there permanently, just as before.

However, what intrigued Riley was...

Just a day ago, the two girls couldn't stand each other, but today they were walking down the street chatting and laughing.

After asking around, Riley learned that when Felicia took Jade to school as Riley had instructed before leaving, she happened to witness a case of American bullying against Jade.

The reason for this is that Xiaoyu, with her childlike nature, always likes to boast to her friends about the various exciting adventures she has experienced.

Then, because the content and plot are simply too outrageous for ordinary people.

For example, Xiaoyu once claimed that her uncle possessed an astonishing hand speed that surpassed the speed of light.

Without a God's-eye view, would you believe it if you were in that situation?

The answer is obviously no.

This led to Xiaoyu being seen as a liar who boasted without thinking, even when she was telling the truth. Her friends would then use this as an excuse to mock her "unrealistic" fantasies every now and then.

But this time, with Felicia around, things are different.

Watching Xiaoyu gradually turn red with anger amidst the ridicule of her peers, Felicia couldn't help but recall her own experience of being labeled "the unwanted child" and "the jinx abandoned by her father" after her father was forced to leave her and her mother, and the ostracism and bullying she suffered at her previous school.

Therefore, feeling the same way, even though Felicia, relying on her woman's intuition, believed that Jade saw Riley as more than just a brother, and thus disliked Jade, she still felt the same way.

But Felicia quietly activated the Super Soldier Serum, and then, with a smile on her face, without warning threw a punch that struck the thick tree trunk beside her.

The next second, watching the tree collapse with a thud after Felicia withdrew her fist.

The children who had been mocking Xiaoyu suddenly fell silent, trembling with fear, and dared not make fun of her anymore.

Fortunately, children's emotions come and go quickly.

Based on this extraordinary scene they witnessed, the group of friends belatedly realized that what Xiaoyu said was very likely true!

Their attitudes completely reversed as a result! They all rushed to surround Xiaoyu and Felicia, either begging Xiaoyu to tell them more of her adventure stories, or their faces lit up with excitement as they pulled Felicia aside to ask her all sorts of questions!

This unexpected scene not only greatly satisfied Xiaoyu's vanity, but also significantly changed Xiaoyu's opinion of Felicia, who had come to her aid!

In this way, the two women, whose relationship was effectively eased by sharing a similar experience, became close friends who could talk about anything, as they smiled at each other.

Well... that's assuming the topic of their discussion doesn't include Riley.

On this point, they remain steadfast in their stance, and neither is willing to back down.

However, this is not all bad.

This experience not only made Xiaoyu and Felicia best friends, but also led them to reach a consensus by speaking frankly and openly...

Clearly, given that the facts cannot be changed, they both hope that their only rivals are each other.

Therefore, in the coming period, they will join forces to support Riley and try every means to cut off his romantic entanglements. They will eliminate the possibility of a third party joining the fray from the very beginning!

Of course, there's also the innocent tree that got caught in the crossfire and was broken.

Because her father was a civet cat and her mother was a skilled businesswoman, Felicia came from a wealthy family. As a rich second-generation heiress, in order to prevent her reputation with Rilina from declining, she didn't forget to go to the school after sending Xiaoyu to class and compensate for the related damages to the tree.

After Riley heard the explanations from the two and learned about the little incident that happened during school yesterday, he understood.

In matters of romance, Riley, who clearly lacks emotional intelligence, is simply happy that the relationship between the two has eased, but she is completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem.

Having tasted the sweetness of love, Peter, already an experienced man, silently shifted his gaze, looking back and forth between the three women, and saw through the two women's little schemes.

She then tried hard to suppress her laughter, and silently lit a candle for her silly brother who had fallen into the trap of the joint hunt and become the prey without even realizing it.

Only Riley, true to her nature, steadfastly upheld her principles, always using her "minor" status as a get-out-of-jail-free card. This caused the two girls, whose friendship had already soured, to restrain themselves somewhat. As a result, on the surface, the way the three of them interacted seemed perfectly normal.

Based on this, what about the typical American teenagers?

Peter guessed that Uncle Ben was starting to worry that Riley might bring his grandson home before he even got to college.

Even so, this delicate balance of power among the three powers will not last forever.

If we could just wait a few years, until they're all adults, what would happen?

Having lost his get-out-of-jail-free card, and having developed a deep bond with the two girls over time, how will Riley deal with their combined attack...?

Just thinking about it makes Peter feel incredibly happy!

Who would have thought that the invincible Spider-Man would have such a weakness!

No way, once we get to school, I have to drag Gwen along so we can all watch the drama unfold!

Oh right, we have to call Harry too! He'll definitely be interested in this! How can we forget our best buddy when we're enjoying the gossip!

"Listen up, you guys! You're surrounded! Give up the futile resistance! Stop your car and surrender immediately! I'll repeat that..."

Just as Peter began to imagine the exciting drama that was about to unfold, and his smile became increasingly difficult to suppress, several police cars with sirens blaring and warnings blaring from loudspeakers sped past the four of them, chasing after an armored truck.

Clearly, just as Riley had feared at the beginning.

With the collapse of Kingpin's criminal empire, gangs large and small, which were previously bound by Kingpin's rules and dared not act on their own, began to gradually become restless.

Even knowing that a elusive and vengeful Spider-Man lurks in New York City, there will always be some who, clinging to a sliver of hope, think they won't be so unlucky as to run into Spider-Man and choose to take the risk of committing a crime.

This has led to a resurgence in New York City's crime rate, which had finally reached a historic low thanks to the efforts of the Parker brothers.

This caused the Parker brothers to exchange a helpless smile and then take off their backpacks, handing them to Felicia, who was gradually getting used to this routine and had reached out her hand early.

Xiao Yu, who always enjoys watching a good show and isn't afraid of making things worse, was all smiles now, deliberately shaking her head and making a serious joke about the two brothers.

"Sigh, looks like being a superhero isn't easy these days... If you're absent again today, even if you're top students, your parents will probably be called in, right? Should I talk to Uncle Long and ask him to help you see your teacher?"

"Don't worry, Jade. As long as no supervillain appears, Peter and I can handle this in no time. We'll definitely be able to make it in time for the teacher to call roll."

Riley, with a confident smile, reached out and ruffled Xiaoyu's hair.

Then, together with Peter, they quickly ran into an empty alley. After a swift transformation, with two webs shooting out, one Spider-Man in black and one in red reappeared among the buildings of New York City!

After putting on the suit, Peter's personality changed completely. He became exceptionally cheerful and talkative, and couldn't help but shout loudly as he swayed on the spider web!

"Good morning, New York City!"

"Another day full of energy—!"
