Chapter 99: Father arrested, Felicia's troubles

Tony had black lines on his forehead—loading a light blade onto that kind of form-fitting suit was much harder than loading it onto his Iron Man armor.

It would burn out quite a few brain cells.

But since it was a mutually beneficial matter, he agreed. "Alright, alright, I'll do my best. You wait for good news."

Ye Li nodded in satisfaction.

The two tinkered and researched for a while longer, and Jarvis reported, "Sir, Ms. Pepper has returned."

"As long as she's okay."

Tony stopped his work; he had already taken a moment to call Pepper earlier.

Ye Li's super spider-sense flashed with some images, and he noticed that Coulson, the old workhorse of S. H. I. E. L. D., had accompanied Pepper.

"You're busy."

He said to Tony, activated the Snake Talisman's invisibility and teleportation, and vanished from the spot instantly.

Tony was left dumbfounded.

He really just comes and goes as he pleases.

The next second,

Ye Li's figure reappeared in the gallery.

Returning to the art studio,

he saw Skye and Cindy getting close.

"Come on—put your hand here."

Cindy stood behind Skye, held her wrists, and guided her through the moves hand-in-hand. "When you punch, remember to use your waist for power."

Skye obediently twisted her waist following the guidance, and sure enough, the effect was much better. "Cindy, you're amazing~"

Cindy smiled brightly, extended her lower leg, and hooked Skye's ankle to correct her footwork. "You have a very balanced figure; you exercise regularly, right?"

Skye: "I exercise with Li."

"You two are practicing well."

Ye Li walked in and looked around. "Where's Felicia? Did she leave?"

Cindy poked her head out from behind Skye and replied, "Felicia said something happened at home. She looked like she was in quite a hurry."

"Is that so."

Ye Li thought of something, but didn't ask further.

He looked at the two girls with a gentle smile. "Then, let me teach you first~"

On the other side,

Felicia was rushing to the police station, her beautiful brows furrowed, her eyes full of sorrow.

How could this be...

Wasn't Father just a salesman...

Why say he is the master thief The Cat?

There must be some mistake somewhere.

With this thought, she arrived at the New York Police Department, wanting to argue on her father's behalf.

But afterward, the conclusive evidence produced by Captain George left her speechless...

"The police department put a lot of effort into the matter of the master thief The Cat.

After a long investigation,

we have sufficient evidence to prove that your father—Walter Hardy—is The Cat."

George held the evidence and stated the facts.

However, seeing the girl in front of him looking dazed,

(Internal group: Wu①JiuYao⑵Si２Si３)

his tone softened slightly. "When investigating Walter Hardy, I looked at your file.

Felicia Hardy, attending Midtown High, a classmate of my daughter.

As a father, I can understand.

It's unfortunate that something like this happened to you; I hope you can look past it."

"I know you, Captain George."

Felicia smiled bitterly. "Your daughter is very famous at school; I've seen Gwen's performance..."

George sighed...

Her classmate's father is a policeman, while her own father is a master thief; the psychological gap for this girl must be huge.

"Captain George, what will my father's sentence be?"

Felicia still wanted to find a way to help her father.

Her father had given her a comfortable life; others could blame him, but she couldn't...

"That depends on the court's verdict. Based on my many years of experience..."

George said, "If the stolen money can be repaid, the sentence could be reduced significantly, but the amount your father stole is not small, and it includes some treasures."

He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear: this was not something a high school student like Felicia could repay.

Perhaps he should guide Felicia so she wouldn't follow in her father's footsteps and go astray.

But as a police captain, he was still very busy and didn't have the time to guide a high school student.

George thought.

Somehow, he thought of Jessica.

That girl sneaks off every day to be a female knight.

Although she's hot-headed, her sense of justice is undeniable; he acknowledges that.

Perhaps he could let Felicia spend time with Jessica to be influenced more, so she wouldn't end up on the wrong path in the future.
