I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 533 Riley: Watch me lay an ambush and make a fortune in silence.

However, even though Kiriya now knows that Riley did it on purpose, Kiriya is not angry at all.

There was also a faint, exhilarating urge to shout it out!

After all, as the news mentioned...

The passengers on that ship were nearly a third of the island nation's senior politicians, as well as key figures from several major conglomerates.

Given their status, they should have stood with the people during the crisis and actively organized rescue efforts.

However, upon discovering the crisis, they not only decisively abandoned ordinary people but also fled to the sea to observe and protect themselves.

To prevent others from imitating them and causing traffic congestion on the road to the port, thus missing their best chance to escape, they ruthlessly suppressed the news, claiming it was just an inflatable doll for an upcoming large gathering. This lowered the public's guard, allowing Bo Gang to swagger into the city center!

As for the large number of casualties that Bo Gang may have caused...

They don't care!

In their eyes, only the elite class, who control the vast majority of wealth, deserve to be called "human beings." Ordinary people who work hard to make ends meet are nothing more than tools to be exploited by them.

Not to mention, island nations are recently showing signs of a growing population where young people are unwilling to marry and have children.

Therefore, they would love for Bogan to kill more people, creating job gaps and stimulating the instinct of people to stick together for warmth, thereby creating opportunities for newborns to be born and completing what they see as a "survival of the fittest" process.

Fortunately, good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished...

They thought the sea was the safest place.

They thought that once the storm passed, they could return to their official positions.

They thought that by having more insignificant civilians die, they could use this as a topic to divert social conflicts, continue to make a fortune in silence, and profit from human suffering.

But they didn't expect that Bo Gang would suddenly come crashing down.

What they didn't expect was that the person who threw Bo Gang out knew they were there from the very beginning, and had gone to great lengths to pursue them.

After a brief silence, Hui Lizai finally understood what had happened. Looking at Riley's smiling face, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

In his view, Riley had already planned everything the moment he set foot in Tokyo.

How should Bo Gang fight? Where should he throw the weapon? What will it hit? How many people will die? And what kind of power vacuum will be left after those people die?

Every step was part of his calculations.

He didn't even need to lift a finger.

A colossal demon will smash that luxury cruise ship for him.

The surging sea will bury all traces of him.

The rescued people will be extremely grateful to him and will naturally assume that it was just an "accident".

Even those powerful figures who survived by sheer luck, after witnessing Spider-Man's power firsthand, even if they realized something was amiss, would not risk a falling out with Riley by risking an "accident".

In a series of subtle moves, Riley quietly changed the future of this nation.

And he, from beginning to end, was just a "superhero who saves Tokyo".

Beneath its glamorous exterior, there is not a trace of darkness.

Upon realizing this, Kiriya's hands began to tremble.

Besides being deeply shocked, I also felt incredibly fortunate...

I'm glad that after learning about Spider-Man's activities, I chose to stand by Riley's side without hesitation.

Fortunately, the Demon Slayer Corps followed Riley's advice and made the right choice back then, instead of colluding with these idiots.

"Lord Riley...you're...you're going to turn the world upside down in this island nation."

When Kiriya spoke again, his hoarse voice was filled with indescribable complex emotions.

"But you might not know this... Due to its awkward international position, the island nation's political system is somewhat unique. If you want to run for prime minister, in addition to the support of powerful families, you also need the support of the United States. But all these years, I haven't met anyone like that..."

"You don't need to worry about that. I have trustworthy allies over there, preparing to run for the next president. Then, you'll be allies on the same side."

Before Victor could finish speaking, Riley, looking confident, smiled and replied.

It's worth mentioning that this wasn't just a spur-of-the-moment decision by Riley...

Back when Riley sent Jade Black back to her parallel universe counterpart, he was already inspired by Riley's bold plan to personally assume the presidency.

So much so that after returning to his own universe, Riley promised Peter that he wouldn't, like his parallel universe self, rashly get involved in politics and make any earth-shattering headlines.

But Riley didn't promise Peter he'd find someone to "boost" his character's progress.

In particular, the military's recent provocative actions have led Riley to believe that the time is ripe and he is ready to execute the next phase of the plan.

In other words, from the day Riley ended his parallel universe journey, he was quietly playing a game that could change the entire world.

only……

It was indeed a spur-of-the-moment decision by Riley to let Victor Walter run for prime minister.

After all, if it weren't for his friendship with Kiriya, and the fact that Kiriya had lived a long life to this day...

Riley's initial plan was not so mild.

Instead, he waits until the time is right—for example, when the Ancient One retires and stops watching him all the time—and then, following the example of a certain predecessor, he lays flat the wheels and goes on a killing spree in the island nation.

Even earthworms have to be dug out and split in half, and eggs have their yolks completely broken when shaken.

"What you should be more concerned about is how to seize this opportunity... The coming period will be a power vacuum. Whoever can seize this opportunity will be able to control this country."

Of course, Riley did not intend to tell anyone his complete plan until the operation was completely successful.

Therefore, seeing that Kirito couldn't suppress his curiosity and was about to ask a question, Riley's smile became even more "friendly," and he continued, word by word.

"Of course, this is also a chance for the island nation to save itself... If you or your people fail to be elected the next prime minister, then Mount Fuji, which has been dormant for so long, might suddenly erupt on a large scale, purging those unrepentant fools, who knows?"

After he finished speaking, Kiriya fell silent.

He could tell from Riley's words that the killing intent was not directed at Huilizai, but at the entire nation, and that it was undisguised.

They also clearly understood that with Riley's strength, he could absolutely make his "prophecy" come true.

However, considering the island nation's foolish act of launching a preemptive attack on Pearl Harbor during World War II...

Hui Liza could understand why Riley, a "native-born" "American," would have such thoughts.

So, after taking a deep breath, whether to repay a debt of gratitude or to prevent the land that nurtured him from becoming a living hell, Kiriya slowly lowered his head and solemnly bowed to Riley.

"I understand, Lord Riley. I will certainly live up to your expectations and do my best to fulfill your wish."

"Then it's up to you... Oh, by the way, this is part of your advance payment: an improved super soldier serum. Besides enhancing physical fitness, it can also extend the user's lifespan to some extent. As for whether you use it yourself or give it to someone you trust, that's up to you."

Seeing that Hui Lizai had agreed, Riley nodded in satisfaction.

He then reached into his shirt pocket, pretending to take something out, but actually took out the recently produced super soldier serum from the system space, placed it on the table, and pushed it in front of Huili.

"Of course, from my personal point of view... I would prefer that you use it yourself. I don't want that when I come to Japan again, the strong and intelligent young lord will have become a cold tombstone."

After saying that, Riley drank the tea in one gulp, got up and walked towards the door.

"Thank you, Lord Riley."

Just then, Kiriya called out to him from behind.

Riley stopped and turned around.

Just then, it was witnessed that, out of trust in Riley, Phillip picked up the Super Soldier Serum and injected it into his own body without hesitation.

Then, the old body straightened its back, its hair began to grow back sparsely, and even the wrinkles faded a lot...

His originally withered and thin body began to undergo a complete transformation under the influence of the super soldier serum.

Having personally experienced the astonishing changes the Super Soldier Serum brought to his body, which was already halfway to its grave, and realizing just how precious Riley's gift truly was, Whirlpool's eyes immediately welled up with tears. But even more so, they shone with a resolute, almost pious light.

"Thank you for saving us back then. Now, thank you... for giving us a chance to atone."

Riley looked at Phillips and remained silent for a second.

Then, I laughed from the bottom of my heart.

"Bad bamboo produces good shoots... Indeed, it is not the fault of a virtuous person to be born in a small country; the ancients were right."

"Go for it, Kiriya... You and your Demon Slayer Corps are going to declare war on 'demons' again, just like back then."
