Chapter 65

"Ms. Morse."

Ye Li put away the playing cards again, "Tell me your real name."

"What do you mean?"

Barbara's heart skipped a beat, but she kept a calm expression, "My name is Morse, Hill Morse. It's the name my grandmother gave me."

Ye Li was speechless.

You're using this name to impersonate someone; does Hill know... you two must have some personal grudge.

"This was the agreed-upon wager."

"The loser must answer one question honestly."

"You were the one who proposed it, Ms. Morse."

Ye Li straightened his slightly wrinkled cuffs, "Since you are unwilling to honor the bet, the game ends here."

Barbara was very conflicted.

Damn it, what is going on?

Logically speaking, even a professional psychiatrist shouldn't be able to see through her disguise.

Why does she have the feeling of being seen through in front of this man?

Barbara didn't know.

Not to mention that Ye Li had already recognized her from the start.

His enhanced super spider-sense also had a certain lie-detection function.

If one added the special electrotherapy he accidentally used at Cindy's house earlier, Ye Li felt he might even be able to become a top-tier psychological therapist.

"Fine..."

The decisiveness of a secret agent told Barbara that she had to cut her losses, "My real name is Barbara Morse."

Since her name was already suspected, she might as well reveal it; one shouldn't be stubborn when flexibility is needed!

Although there was a risk of mission failure, as long as she found the right wording, it was also a chance to salvage trust!

Besides, it wouldn't be a big deal even if the mission failed.

S. H. I. E. L. D. wasn't some cold-blooded organization that killed people over a failed mission.

However, what surprised her was...

After she said her real name...

Ye Li didn't ask why she had hidden it; instead, he nodded and moved past it, "Very good. You said you wanted to join the club; I welcome you."

Even if he got rid of Mockingbird Barbara, a Black Widow or someone else might come next time.

So Ye Li agreed to let Barbara join, choosing to properly train this S. H. I. E. L. D. agent later.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Big news!"

Ned shouted at this moment.

"Latest news on the forum: Flash Thompson is being humiliated by the Lizard in all sorts of ways!"

As Peter's best friend, Ned was gloating to see Thompson in such a miserable state.

Hearing this, Ye Li operated his device a few times, and the club's big screen displayed the forum content.

There were many newly uploaded videos from various angles, clearly presenting Thompson's shameful appearance.

One had to admit, the people of New York were very enthusiastic about gossip; they didn't even forget to livestream while encountering the Lizard.

Below were various comments, mostly posted by students from Midtown High.

After all, they were the first to get the news and understood the situation on the scene better.

Random Classmate: 【Can't believe Thompson is such a coward; a guy that big, crawling on the ground and barking like a dog.】

Football Fan: 【Telling the Lizard to kill his girlfriend? He's not a man at all. I regret ever being a fan of his!】

Spider-Man Fan: 【Ghost-Spider arrived, and the Lizard was scared off instantly! Who said the female knight was stronger than Ghost-Spider? Come out and say it.】

【Liz, is the Lizard's tail that good to suck on? You really are a slut!】 This one was likely posted by a classmate who didn't get along with Liz.

Seeing this comment, Ned had a lecherous smile; he grabbed a remote from the bar and switched the video feed.

In the video, the tip of the Lizard's tail was pulled out of Liz's throat, bringing out a spicy, choking sight.

Several girls watching felt a chill for no reason.

Even Barbara raised an eyebrow; she was clearly an experienced veteran.

Ned clicked his tongue, "What a pity, what a pity~ Liz actually got developed by the Lizard's tail."

Mary Jane frowned, "Ned, could you stop replaying this scene? Pay attention to the club's image."

Skye couldn't help but lean a bit closer to Ye Li.

Ye Li took the opportunity to place his hand on her shoulder, gradually sliding it toward her smooth, slender neck, and whispered to her, "Do you want to try~"

Gwen was already very skilled at it.

He hadn't tried it with Skye yet.

Judging by her passionate kiss, which was no less intense than Gwen's, it should be great too...

"About that..."

Skye had a pitiful look in her eyes; she shrank her neck, feeling somewhat hesitant.

However, seeing Ye Li's expectant expression...

After a moment of hesitation.

She swallowed and whispered, "Maybe we could..."

Seeing a flash of charm in Skye's eyes and her tongue brushing over her lips, Ye Li knew she was moved.

He pulled her up and instructed the others, "I'm taking Skye to the training ground to handle some things."

"Jane, you entertain Barbara. I think she has the potential to become a good cadre for the club."

Mary Jane smiled and winked, with an 'I understand' expression, "Leave it to me. You and Skye go ahead and get busy~"

Ned got interested and leaned over, "Hey! The vice president is gone, let's play, Jane. Hehe~ I'm super good at cards!"

Mary Jane kept her smile, "Get lost."

She was still holding a grudge because Ned had yelled at her over a broken phone last time, so naturally, she wouldn't give him a pleasant look.
