Chapter 49
After Felicia secretly rescued Walter, she let her father take her mother and fly far away.
Because Felicia was the only one who didn't leave, there were rumors that she had been abandoned by her parents.
This made netizens very sympathetic to this girl with a perfect appearance, and quite a few people with ulterior motives expressed that they wanted to take her in.
However, in reality, it was Felicia herself who chose to stay by Ye Li's side.
As for the S.H.I.E.L.D. side, which ended up with nothing.
It is said.
After finding out that the person behind the kidnapping of Walter was Kingpin, that egg Nick vented all his anger on him.
Now Kingpin has become a shrinking turtle, living in a prison he built himself, and probably won't dare to come out and jump around for a long time.
Cindy also chose to join the club recently.
Now on the surface.
The Ghost Spider Club already has—
'Ghost Spider'
Gwen Stacy (identity not exposed)
'Lady Knight'
Jessica Ye (identity exposed)
'Black Cat'
Felicia Hardy (identity not exposed)
'Silk'
Cindy Moon (identity exposed)
A full four superheroes, all female.
Becoming a veritable hero organization.
The club also attracted a large number of fan members because of this, and Jessica was very happy collecting membership fees.
Because of the star effect of Gwen and the others, the club's fame spread from New York City to the entire beautiful country.
On the popularity ranking of heroines, the top spots were also occupied by them.
As for the male hero ranking.
Captain America has always been at the top, followed by Iron Man, Black Spider, etc...
Recently.
Tony has been urging him to teach a few combat arts.
Having just attended a high-society banquet with Stephen yesterday, and having nothing to do today, he could go take a look.
Uh, although, actually he is quite free every day...
Having made plans.
Ye Li clapped his hands a few times, "Girls, get up, it's time to fight crime!"
"Li~"
"Brother~"
"Master~"
After the three girls woke up.
Gwen turned over nimbly, her feet sticking to the ceiling, her pretty face inches away from Ye Li.
With her hair hanging down, she smiled and said, "Isn't today a day off, why isn't Li sleeping in~"
"Rare~"
Jessica's feet were wrapped in silver light, floating in mid-air, and she also smiled lightly, "What does brother want for breakfast, I'll go make it for you~"
Felicia jumped onto the wardrobe lightly, bent her waist, and opened the cabinet door to rummage in a high-difficulty posture, "Master, which one do you want to wear today, I'll get it for you~"
They were using their superpowers more and more casually now.
Ye Li was used to it.
Fortunately, he could keep them in check.
"The weather is really nice."
Ye Li, who had just stepped out, looked up, and the sky, which had some cumulus clouds, began to change.
Soon it was clear and sunny, casting warm sunlight.
"OK, it won't rain in New York today."
Driving a four-wheeler all the time is too boring.
Ye Li wanted to change his taste this time.
So he shouted into the yard—
"Vinica!"
Rumble!
"Beep!"
With a low air-whistle sound.
A dark, luxurious, beautifully curved unmanned motorcycle honked its horn and drove automatically to Ye Li.
The roar of the engine made a happy rhythm, as if shouting—ride me! ride me! ride me quickly!
Enhanced Rat Talisman—Enlightenment.
This handsome motorcycle.
Was a special creation that Ye Li had enlightened with the Rat Talisman, already considered a new form of life.
"OK, baby, I'll ride you now~"
Ye Li smiled and sat on it, turning the handle.
No helmet.
He didn't need one.
"Hey, Li!"
Chief George finally got a day off today and was watering flowers at the door. Seeing Ye Li riding the motorcycle, he greeted him with a smile.
"Did you just buy this motorcycle? It wasn't cheap, right!"
Rumble!
Vinica's engine roared, as if angry that George was measuring her with money.
Ye Li pressed the brake and comforted her, "She's very good, just has a bit of a temper."
"She?"
George thought Ye Li was teasing him and laughed, "Haha! Li, you're really interesting.
But some guys in my station also like to call their beloved vehicles that."
"But I can only drive this old buddy."
He said, looking at his own yard.
There was a police car that had been driven for quite a while.
Without comparison, there is no harm.
"George, he is much more eye-catching than Vinica."
Ye Li teased, and rode away in a flash—
"He?"
After Ye Li rode far away.
George finally reacted and cursed with a smile, "Good kid, you even dare to say that to me now!"
A breeze brushed his cheeks, the air carried a hint of sea salt, and waves slapped against the shore.
The sea and sky scenery connected into a line.
Vroom vroom—
Ye Li rode Vinica at lightning speed and soon stopped by the seaside where a luxury villa was located, honking the horn to remind someone that he had arrived.
Ah, naturally it's impossible to be this fast just by riding a motorcycle, but he could cheat with talismans.
Beep, beep, beep—
Ye Li pressed the horn a few times, then stopped, letting Vinika call out on its own.
He leaned back in his seat and pulled out his phone to scroll through short videos.
The algorithm thoughtfully recommended hot, beautiful dance videos; the refreshing content paired quite well with the cool sea breeze.
However, as for the quality of the dancing... Ye Li’s assessment was mediocre; it wasn’t even as good as Gwen and the others.
Beep, beep, beep—
[Sir, you have a visitor.]
[After verifying the information, it is confirmed to be Mr. Ye Li. There is an invitation record for you.]
Stark rolled over, still fast asleep, and didn’t hear Jarvis’s announcement.
Beside him was a blonde-dyed woman, stark naked, draped only in a white bedsheet.
[Sir.]
Jarvis: [Sir.]
“Oh—Jarvis!”
Tony was finally woken up, rubbing his head as he sat up. “Isn’t a day off supposed to be for pleasant exchanges with beautiful women?”
“Which guy is coming to visit me so early in the morning?”
Jarvis: [Sir, the time is now 9:43.]
“That’s still early, isn’t it?”
Although Stark said that, since he was already awake, he climbed out of bed.
“Someone is here to visit you?”
The sexy lady beside him had also woken up. She clutched the sheet and smiled at Tony, “I bet it’s some lady~”
Christina was a well-known reporter.
That was why she knew.
Given the personality of “Iron Man” Tony Stark.
He didn’t have many true friends.
Anyone coming at this hour was more likely a beauty with whom he had a romantic affair~
However, she was immediately slapped down by Jarvis.
It repeated the announcement again: [Sir, it is Mr. Ye Li. He has your invitation clearance.]
“It’s him, oh—”
Tony yawned and instructed, “Jarvis, pull up the gate surveillance.”
The floor-to-ceiling window facing the sea immediately displayed the scene at the gate, complete with audio.
Beep, beep, beep—!
Vinika, parked at the gate, was calling out loudly, but Ye Li was already gone from the seat.
“.....”
Tony: “Jarvis, don’t tell me the visitor is a motorcycle, even if it is cool.”
[Sir, twelve seconds ago, Mr. Ye Li was invited in by Ms. Pepper. He is currently waiting in the living room, and Ms. Pepper is hosting him.]
The display on the glass window shifted.
It showed Ye Li and Pepper chatting face-to-face; they seemed to be getting along quite well.
“Alright, I’ll be right there.”
Tony left the room and went to another to get dressed.
“Hey, Tony!”
Christina, left behind, rummaged around and found her clothes were missing.
She had no choice but to put on a shirt Stark had thrown there over her underwear.
“Ye... Li...”
Christina remembered the name—
Although Ye Li wasn’t as widely known to the public as Tony Stark, he had quite a reputation in socialite circles due to his hobby of painting beautiful women.
So, she curiously walked out too; after all, a reporter never complains about having too much material.
“Tony is still sleeping?”
Ye Li took the coffee Pepper handed him without rushing to drink it. “Is he like this every day? I’ve heard people say he’s a workaholic.”
“Occasionally.”
Pepper sat opposite him with a proper posture and chatted, “Like last night, he encountered a beautiful reporter from Vanity Fair magazine, so he’s getting up a bit late today.”
“Oh, then I guess he’s only just reluctantly crawling out of bed now.”
Ye Li offered a polite compliment, “Ms. Pepper, with a thoughtful beauty like you by his side, I think Tony should cherish it, rather than just finding random women for one-night stands.”
Pepper felt a sting in her heart and masked her bitter smile with a polite one.
“I am just a housekeeper and assistant, taking the dry-cleaned clothes for the women Tony brings back.
And then... sweeping the trash out the door.”
[Trash...]
Ye Li raised an eyebrow. It seemed Pepper had a lot of resentment toward Stark and the women he brought home...
Hmm... shouldn’t he stir the pot for Tony?
“Assistants are great.”
Ye Li continued, “I also have a little assistant. She is very beautiful and very smart. Most importantly, she has a nimble little mouth~ and is very clingy~”
“Is that so.”
Pepper didn’t realize Ye Li was secretly talking about Skye, but she felt a bit envious of such an intimate relationship.
However, she didn’t show it on her face, maintaining a smile as she said, “It seems Mr. Ye Li is quite the romantic too~ You must be very good at pleasing women, right?”
Asked this by Pepper.
Ye Li wasn’t embarrassed and smiled, asking back, “Then have I pleased you, Ms. Pepper?”
This wasn’t because he was interested in Pepper; it was just a casual joke to liven up the conversation.
Pepper was still quite young during this period.
“Of course~ Mr. Ye, you have a lot of charisma. I don’t think many women would refuse you.”
Pepper was the same, making a small joke~
After all, Ye Li was talented and handsome; she had a favorable impression of him and didn’t mind flirting a little.
“Mr. Ye has great achievements in art. Recently, Jackson Pollock has a new work...”
Pepper found a topic to chat with Ye Li about, “It’s from his representative ‘Spring’ series. What do you think?”
“It’s painted well enough, but the price tag is too inflated, and there’s very little room for appreciation. I don’t recommend buying it.”
Ye Li chatted with Pepper with a pleasant expression, but inside, he was becoming impatient—
[Hiss]
[Tony, that guy, why hasn’t he rolled down here yet?]
[He’s the one who urged me to come every day.]
[I came, and he’s just playing with women.]
Ye Li began to understand Pepper’s resentment... taking care of someone as extreme in his lifestyle as Tony was indeed difficult.
Come to think of it, in the comics, it seems Pepper was wooed by Tony’s bodyguard Happy, and they even got married later...
“Mr. Ye?”
Pepper reminded him, “Your coffee is getting cold.”
“Right, thanks for the reminder.” The coffee cup wasn’t even the size of his palm, so Ye Li downed it in one gulp.
And at this moment.
The dawdling Tony finally came down. “Hey, Li, you like drinking it like that too?”
“Tony, did the Vanity Fair reporter make you linger?”
Ye Li put down the coffee cup. “Do you want to learn combat arts from me, or do you want to learn some ‘special’ combat arts from her?”
“Li, you sound like a jealous little woman right now.”
Tony sat on the sofa and spread his hands. “She can’t teach me. In fact, it’s me teaching her.”
