Chapter 322: Marvel: Starting by Awakening the Small Universe Chapter 167

"Peter didn't go."

"Didn't go?"

"Yeah, Mary's family went. She didn't explain the specifics clearly on the phone, but I could tell she was very anxious. Let's go, let's go to her place."

"Alright."

Hawk nodded.

"You drive, or I drive?"

"You drive, you're faster. I feel like Mary is about to go crazy."

"Okay."

Hawk grabbed the car keys Gwen handed over, took a step forward, reached the car door first, pulled it open, and sat straight in.

By the time he started the car and released the handbrake, Gwen had just jogged to the passenger door, pulled it open, and sat in.

Hawk stepped on the gas, the engine of the remaining Toyota Corolla roared, darted out from the spot like an arrow, and quickly sped toward the direction of Queens.

Half an hour later.

Queens, Fifth Community.

The speeding Toyota Corolla performed a drift at the community road entrance, successfully entered the community street, and then parked very precisely between two classic American detached houses.

The house on the left was the Parker family's.

The one on the right was the Jane family's.

Mary pushed open the door of the Parker house on the left and walked out. Seeing Gwen get out of the car, she jogged over and hugged Gwen: "Gwen, Peter is missing."

Gwen held Mary, who was about to cry, and comforted her hurriedly.

Following them out was Peter's Aunt May.

Hawk nodded to Aunt May, who was standing at the door with worry written on her face.

Aunt May squeezed out a forced smile.

"Sorry to trouble you, Hawk."

"Peter is my friend."

Soon.

The four returned to the house.

Mary didn't speak, just held Gwen's hand and cried.

Hawk could only look at Aunt May, who was sitting to the side, and asked curiously: "When did Peter go missing?"

Aunt May shook her head and said: "This holiday, Peter went back to my relatives' house in Xinzexi with me. After Christmas Eve, he said he wanted to return to Niuyuecheng, so I let him come back first. I only arrived home last night and thought Peter was already asleep."

After listening, Hawk turned his head to look at Mary: "Then what about you? When was the last time Peter called you?"

Mary shook her head: "About a week ago."

Hearing this, Hawk raised an eyebrow.

"A week? You're only saying this now?"

"Peter told me he had some things to deal with recently and told me not to worry. I was afraid of disturbing him, so I didn't call. When I came back yesterday noon, I saw Peter's car was gone and thought he went to deliver pizza, so I didn't pay attention. As a result, when Aunt May and I walked into Peter's room today, we discovered that Peter's room hadn't been lived in for at least a week."

"Deliver pizza?"

Gwen, listening to Mary's account from the side, blinked: "Isn't Peter working for the Daily Bugle?"

Mary looked at Gwen: "Another part-time job, he started in October, but he didn't let me tell you guys."

Gwen turned her head to look at Hawk, who was sitting to the side: "You knew... forget it, if I ask you, you won't say anyway. Brotherhood, right."

Hawk looked at his fiancée, who was answering her own questions, and his mouth twitched.

However, he couldn't really refute it.

Because he did indeed know about Peter delivering pizza, but it wasn't Peter who told him; he discovered it himself. Thinking that since Peter didn't tell him, and he wasn't a blabbermouth, he naturally wouldn't go around publicizing Peter's pizza delivery.

Hawk then looked at Mary.

"Did you confirm with the pizza shop?"

"I called early this morning. The pizza shop said they were also looking for Peter. They said on the morning of the 26th, Peter picked up two boxes of pizza from them, but only delivered to one customer. The second customer was so angry they called the shop to scold them."

"The morning of the 26th?"

"Yeah."

"Exactly a week ago."

Hawk frowned and looked at Mary: "When did you call Peter on the 26th?"

Mary thought for a moment and finally pulled up her call logs.

"Eleven in the morning."

"That was on the way to deliver the pizza."

"Delivered to one place, didn't deliver to the second place."

Gwen also said, then looked at Hawk: "Peter isn't that kind of person, unless he encountered something very urgent."

Hawk also nodded.

Not to mention the nickname Spider-Man, who was famous and known as New York's friendly neighbor.

Just the fact that Peter had superpowers and didn't think about taking money directly from a bank vault, nor did he think about black-on-black crime, but relied on his own selfies to earn a meager bonus, and even went down the path of delivering takeout, showed that Peter was definitely not the type of character to do whatever he wanted by relying on his abilities.

Naturally, it was even less likely that he would run off with a box of pizza.

So the question arose.

Where did Peter go?

But no matter where Peter went, he was definitely not in Niuyuecheng right now.

Because...

With Hawk's sixth sense expanded, covering the entire Niuyuecheng, he didn't perceive Peter's aura in Niuyuecheng.

Of course, it couldn't be ruled out that someone used some high-tech to hide Peter, or someone with strength exceeding his own blocked his perception.

The former wouldn't be mentioned for now.

The latter had a high probability of not being possible, because at this point in time, the number of people whose strength could exceed his could be counted on one hand.

Lei Shen, the God of Thunder, had strength similar to his, and even if Lei Shen really awakened his thunder god power, he might not necessarily be able to beat him.

But Lei Shen was a reckless man, the kind who would fight if he wasn't convinced, and wouldn't deign to use such methods.

Moreover, his relationship with him was quite good, so it was impossible for him to target Peter.

The second and third were the Ancient One and the God King Odin, who was currently living in an Earth nursing home after being driven out by the fake-dead Loki.

But these two were also impossible.

So only two possibilities remained.

Either Peter was captured by some villain with high technology.

Or...

Peter had already left Niuyuecheng and didn't know where he went.

Hawk leaned toward the latter.

He thought for a moment and looked at Aunt May and Mary curiously: "What was Peter busy with before he went missing?"

Mary thought for a moment and shook her head blankly.

Aunt May seemed to have thought of something and said to Hawk: "By the way, when we were in Xinzexi, Felicia often called Peter."

Hawk raised an eyebrow.

"Felicia? Felicia Hardy?"

"Yes, I even asked Peter what was going on, but he didn't say."

"The phone didn't connect."

Just as he was talking to Aunt May, Mary, after hearing Aunt May say Felicia's name, had already called Felicia with superb efficiency.

The result was no answer.

The next second.

Mary stood up from the sofa with a 'swoosh': "I'll go find her."

Gwen reacted and also stood up, then hurriedly grabbed Mary: "Can you still drive in this state?"

"Then what should I do?"

"Take our car."

Gwen said, then looked at Hawk.

Seeing this, Hawk said to Aunt May: "We'll go find Felicia first and see if she knows about Peter's disappearance."

After saying that.

He also stood up, said goodbye to Aunt May, and caught up with Mary and Gwen, who were already impatient to walk out the door.

Soon.

Hawk drove back on the road, carrying Gwen in the passenger seat and Mary, who was calling Felicia over and over again in the back seat, speeding toward the Osborne Manor outside the city.

"Still no one answering the phone," Mary hung up the phone again and said.

Gwen, sitting in the passenger seat, thought of one thing: "Speaking of which, Felicia didn't seem to go to the New York Police Department's charity gala on the 27th this year either."

Hawk glanced at Gwen.

"George said so?"

"Mom said so."

Gwen said: "It should be the 28th, yes, it was the 28th. You and Lei Shen ran off to fight, and Mom came over. By the way, didn't you ask where the lemon sea bass came from that night?"

Hawk followed Gwen's words and thought of the scene that day, then nodded.

"Right."

"When I was chatting with Mom in the backyard, Mom mentioned it. Originally, Felicia seemed to want to attend too, but she didn't come in the end; her assistant came instead."

Gwen said.

This kind of thing was very common. After all, it wasn't an important gala, so it was normal for someone who was originally scheduled to come to suddenly say they weren't coming.

For the New York Police Department, it was fine if people didn't come, as long as the donation arrived.

So when Helen told her about it at the time, Gwen just listened to it as an interesting anecdote and let it pass.

Now it seemed.

"Hiss!"

"Peter is missing, Felicia wouldn't also be missing, would she? And it's such a coincidence, Peter called Felicia before he went missing?"

"They wouldn't have eloped, would they?"

Gwen's pupils contracted, and she carefully glanced at Mary sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

Coming into view.

Mary's expression was anxious as she looked at the front of the vehicle; she didn't seem to have as wild an imagination as Gwen.

Soon.

The Osborne Manor arrived. Because Hawk and Gwen had been here before, after the old butler of the manor opened the door for them, he waited in front of the main building of the manor.

After a while.

The three got out of the car, and Mary hurriedly asked the old butler if he knew where Peter went.

The next second.

The old butler was slightly stunned and looked at Mary.
