Glad to see you're okay, sir.\" Vincent extended his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm glad to see you too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Captain George Stacy shook his hand firmly, his face serious. He was analyzing Vincent with the practiced eye of a veteran cop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First impressions? Not bad. The kid was polite, well-dressed, and carried himself with a maturity rare for his age. He didn't shrink under the scrutiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And hello to you, ma'am.\" Vincent turned to Gwen's mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Call me Tracey.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tracey Stacy smiled warmly, but she looked puzzled. \"Have we met before? You look familiar.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen chimed in, \"Mom, remember how Mr. Smith sold the penthouse next door? Vincent is the new neighbor.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Really?\" Tracey looked surprised. \"You bought the Smith place?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, Tracey,\" Vincent replied, smiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Internally, he groaned. Living next door to the Police Commissioner. Why did I do this? It's going to be impossible to be a villain in peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George Stacy's eyes narrowed slightly. \"That is... quite a coincidence.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a cop, he didn't believe in coincidences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought it was a good investment,\" Vincent said smoothly. \"Close to the precinct, safe neighborhood. And knowing the Police Commissioner lives next door... well, I sleep very soundly at night.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course!\" Tracey beamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George remained skeptical. He knew the property values in this building. Even with the recession, that penthouse was worth millions. For a teenager to buy it outright meant serious money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I need to run a background check, George decided. Quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, do you need to rest?\" Gwen asked, worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No,\" George growled, trying to stand up. \"That monster is still out there. I need to get back to the precinct.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cursed under his breath. The Lizard attack was a disaster. 156 dead. 78 children. The pressure from the Mayor and the White House was immense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm heading back to the station,\" George said. \"Vincent, you should come over for dinner sometime. We can have a proper chat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, your arm is injured. Let me drive you,\" Vincent offered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gwen nodded. \"It's on the way, Dad. Let Vincent drive.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Drive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>George sat in the passenger seat of the Lincoln, observing the interior. Luxury car. Expensive watch. But Vincent drove carefully, respectful of the traffic laws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He seems like a good kid, George thought. But where does the money come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tracey chatted happily with Vincent from the back seat, completely charmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they arrived at the precinct, chaos reigned. Reporters swarmed the entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vincent, you must try my Lemon Branzino tonight,\" Tracey said as they dropped George off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vincent blinked. Lemon Branzino? That's the dinner from The Amazing Spider-Man movie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'd love to,\" Vincent accepted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Apartment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in his penthouse, Vincent finally had a moment of peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He checked the System.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Name: Vincent Hall]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wealth Points: 487,750,000 (Usable for Upgrades)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Desire Points: 8,320,000 (Usable for Limit Break)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Abilities: Ice-Ice Fruit (Mastery+), Psychic Immunity (Passive), Hydro-Kinesis (Mastery+)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Skills: Baji-Mizong Art (Transcendence)]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Active Missions:]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fragrance of Heroes (Infinite): Intimate relations with female heroes yield rewards.
