Chapter 468: Marvel: Starting by Awakening the Small Universe, Chapter 246

"What?"

Caroline, who had been shifting her gaze not far away, also instantly fixed her eyes on Hawk, her expression shocked and her eyes filled with terror.

"How did you..."

"Didn't your cousin tell you?"

Hawk looked at Caroline, who had finally shifted her gaze to him, his eyes deep: "There is nothing I want to know that anyone can hide from me, not even you yourself."

Gwen's gaze shot toward Caroline.

"You didn't tell me about this."

"I..."

Caroline opened her mouth, looked at Gwen, and a bitter smile appeared on her face: "Cousin, this isn't something that..."

Before she could finish.

The gentleness in Gwen's eyes had vanished. She stared straight at Hawk, her expression and voice exceptionally serious.

"Who is he?"

"Damon Salvatore!"

"Is he still alive?"

"Yes."

Hawk shrugged, looked at Gwen, and smiled slightly.

"I wanted to kill him, but you told me to stop."

"If I had known about this, I wouldn't have told you to stop."

"I can twist him over here, if you want."

"I want to!"

Gwen answered Hawk without any hesitation.

Hawk's smile was brilliant. With a thought, his Sixth Sense, which covered the entire town, instantly captured Damon, who was still in the valley, having just been dug out of the rubble by Stefan. Then, "Sixth Sense—Telepathy" was activated: "As you wish, Mrs. Phoenix."

As the words fell.

*Thud! *

Damon Salvatore fell onto the lawn before them amidst ripples in space.

Caroline, watching this scene, looked at Gwen.

"Cousin..."

"Shut up!"

Gwen scolded, then looked at Caroline: "Does Aunt know about this?"

Caroline opened her mouth.

"I..."

"He didn't just control Caroline; he even used a vampire's charm skill to infiltrate the town's management committee."

Hawk added calmly from the side.

This wasn't his fault.

He had warned Caroline beforehand not to stir up trouble.

As it turned out...

She didn't listen.

Since that was the case, it was only natural for him to retaliate.

The most important point.

He never stirred up trouble; he only stated facts.

It was an indisputable fact that Damon had hypnotized Gwen's cousin Caroline and made her a temporary sex toy.

Gwen took a deep breath, glanced at Damon Salvatore, who was restrained by Hawk and unable to move his limbs or speak, and then looked at Caroline with a ghostly voice: "He hypnotized and raped you, you didn't tell Aunt, and you even became friends with a rapist? Jesus, Caroline, you're a sheriff's daughter too!"

Jesus!

God!

Holy Mother Mary!

Gwen felt she was already unconventional enough; after all, even in New York City, no one would be certain that their first love was their future.

But she was certain Hawk was her future, and for that, she had given up the university she had always longed for, accepted Hawk's proposal, and moved in with him.

Many people said she was making a huge gamble, and many felt she was unconventional enough.

But now...

Good heavens, Gwen felt that compared to her cousin Caroline, she was just a small fry.

Who in their right mind would choose to be friends with a rapist after being hypnotized and raped?

The most important point.

Caroline was also a sheriff's daughter.

"The victim's silence is not protection for oneself, but a reward for the abuser."

"Don't you know this saying?"

Gwen looked at Caroline speechlessly, thinking of a sentence Hawk had once said.

"Or is it that your brain was kicked by a donkey?"

"No, cousin."

Caroline looked at Gwen and quickly explained: "I'm not friends with Damon. God, I would absolutely never be friends with that scum."

Gwen was expressionless.

"But you followed this rapist to find Hawk, didn't you?"

"I didn't follow Damon; I followed..."

Just as Caroline was explaining in a panic, *whoosh, whoosh, whoosh*—three sounds rushed in from outside the manor.

The next second.

Stefan, carrying Elena, and the black witch Bonnie also appeared on the lawn in the manor's backyard.

Good heavens.

If they lit a bonfire on the lawn, anyone who didn't know better would think they were holding a bonfire party.

Stefan, having set down his girlfriend Elena, looked at Damon, who was giving him panicked eye signals, and hurriedly tried to step forward: "Damon!"

Hawk had a thought, and his Sixth Sense turned into invisible threads, instantly restraining Stefan in place as well.

Stefan, who had just started to walk toward Damon, froze in place.

He was the same as Damon.

Unable to move his limbs.

Unable to speak.

Elena, seeing this, was just about to step forward, but was pulled back in time by her best friend, the black witch Bonnie.

The black witch Bonnie stood there with a terrified expression, not looking at Hawk, but at them, her voice trembling: "Don't go over, absolutely don't go over."

Hawk noticed them but couldn't be bothered to look at them.

Gwen turned her head and looked at her cousin Caroline: "Do they know about this?"

Caroline shook her head.

Being hypnotized and used as a sex toy wasn't something glorious; after all, to outsiders, it looked like she had actively clung to Damon at the time.

"But they are friends with this rapist?"

"What? No, no, no, no one wants to be friends with Damon. Elena and Bonnie don't want to be friends with Damon either."

"Is that so?"

Gwen's furrowed brows relaxed.

Just then.

Hawk walked to his fiancée's side, leaned his mouth to Gwen's ear, and whispered the gossip about the entanglement between Elena and the Salvatore brothers.

Gwen listened to Hawk's gossip with a calm expression, looked up at her cousin again, and then said to Hawk: "She really doesn't know about my cousin's encounter?"

Hawk never lied: "His brother Stefan should have figured it out. As for Elena, she really doesn't know about this."

At least not at this point in time.

After all, he could understand Caroline's thinking; being hypnotized and used as a sex toy was already a tragedy, so how could she possibly tell everyone about it?

But understanding was one thing.

Hawk still stood on Gwen's side.

As everyone knew.

He had always favored his own people over reason.

Gwen turned her head, glanced at Stefan, who was also frozen in place, and then looked at Elena, who was anxiously pacing around Stefan. Her brows furrowed: "He knew about this, but he didn't stop it?"

Hawk shrugged: "He wanted to, but Damon Salvatore is a carnivorous vampire, and Stefan is his younger brother and a vegetarian vampire. Even if he knew, he couldn't stop it. And after your cousin became a vampire, Damon even wanted to kill her; it was Stefan and Elena who stopped Damon."

As for why Damon suggested killing Caroline after finding out she had become a vampire.

The reason was simple.

To prevent the exposure of the fact that he had obtained Caroline's body through hypnosis.

After all, his brother Stefan relied on personal charm, while he could only rely on despicable means like hypnosis.

Gwen's expression was enlightened.

She had seen it in S. H. I. E. L. D.'s files.

There were good people and bad people among humans, and vampires were no exception. Some vampires followed their instincts and fed on human blood, while others fought against their instincts, restraining their desires and becoming vampires who didn't drink blood.

Gwen's understanding at the time was that the former's beastly nature outweighed their humanity, while the latter's humanity suppressed their beastly nature.

Now—

It really was so.

Gwen listened to Hawk's words and looked at Caroline: "Is what Hawk said true?"

Caroline's heart was completely in chaos now. To be precise, after the secret she had intended to hide and forget forever was suddenly exposed, she felt a sense of "breaking the pot to break it further." Hearing Gwen's question, she nodded.

Gwen, seeing this, said to Hawk: "Let him go."

Hawk said "Mm."

*Thud! *

Stefan, freed from his restraints, collapsed to the ground, gasping for air.

Elena, seeing this, hurriedly helped Stefan up, then looked at Damon, who was still restrained over there, and then at Caroline, who was standing not far away, not daring to lift her head under her cousin's low scolding.

"What happened?"

"..."

Stefan didn't speak.

However...

Looking at his brother Damon, who was still looking at him for help in terror, and then at Caroline not far away, he already had a guess in his heart.

Sure enough.

The black witch Bonnie, who had been standing in the back, trying to blend into the surrounding darkness, looked at the restrained Damon with disgust and said to Elena: "At the time, Caroline didn't actively like Damon; Damon hypnotized Caroline to make her like him."

Elena, hearing this, widened her eyes, looked at Bonnie who had spoken, and then looked at the restrained Damon. ===== CHAPTER 470 =====
