Chapter 55: Gwen's first battle

Barbara and Laura went through the onboarding process. With the identity of an FBI agent, the two of them no longer had to hide every day.

In fact, Lynn had planned to keep these two young girls by his side from the beginning.

Firstly, whether it was Laura’s hallucinatory abilities or Polaris’s weakened Magneto abilities, both could provide help to Lynn at critical moments.

Secondly, it was also convenient for increasing favorability.

Lynn Hall glanced at the variety show Barbara had been watching, which was full of occult gimmicks like exorcism and haunted house exploration. He chuckled, then took out his phone and sent a message to Gwen.

Compared to Peter Parker, who was wearing a “bulky” Spider-Suit, Gwen had officially debuted as Spider-Woman on the New York City stage these past two days.

Her first target was a group of drug dealers from Mexico, who Uncle George had been having his officers monitor recently.

Drug dealers were always ruthless, and since Gwen had just “debuted,” Lynn naturally felt a bit uneasy.

Looking at Gwen’s reply, Lynn told her not to act rashly, then put away his phone.

Lynn naturally wanted to personally oversee Gwen’s first battle to feel at ease.

In the evening, Lynn was in his penthouse apartment in Central Park.

“Since you two don’t want to live with Barbara, then from today onwards, you can live here.”

After arranging for Laura and Lorna to stay in the guest room, Lynn ordered some takeout.

Then he said to the two of them, “I have some things to do tonight and won’t be back. You two should rest well.”

“Okay, X2!”

They nodded obediently. After Lynn left, Polaris said to Laura, “Laura, why are we living with Lynn?”

“Although he’s an adult and wouldn’t have any ideas about us two, we are, after all, two girls. It’s very inconvenient!”

Facing Polaris’s question, Laura shrugged, took a bottle of Water from the refrigerator, and handed it to her.

Seeing that Lorna didn’t take it, Laura drank it herself.

“Laura...”

“Haven’t you always wanted to know which prison your father, Magneto, is imprisoned in?”

“I don’t want to know!”

Hearing Laura’s words, Polaris’s small face instantly clouded over. “I don’t care if he lives or dies!”

Looking at the stubborn Polaris, Laura smiled and walked forward, taking her hand. “Come on, Lorna, don’t I know what you’re thinking?”

“Trust me, Lorna, with Lynn’s status and position, he definitely knows where your father is imprisoned.”

“Although you keep saying you don’t want to see him, sometimes you even call out ‘Dad’ in your dreams!”

Hearing Laura say that, Polaris was silent for a moment. “I just want to find him and ask him why he adopted me after my parents died when I was three, and then sent me to an orphanage when I was seven!”

Looking at Polaris, who clearly longed for a family but still acted tough.

Laura said with a smile, “Alright, alright, whether you want to find your father or question him about why he abandoned you, we need Lynn’s help.”

“Trust me, once we get completely familiar with Lynn, he will definitely find a way for you to see your father!”

Looking at Laura’s confident demeanor, Polaris nodded gently and said, “Thank you, Laura.”

“Hehe, no need to thank me. Don’t forget what you said, you’ll always have my back from now on.”

At seven in the evening, the sky gradually darkened.

“I’m so sleepy today, Mom and Dad, I’m going to rest first.”

Yawning, Gwen said goodbye to George and Helen, then scurried back to her room.

Seeing his daughter go to rest so early, George asked his wife worriedly, “Why is Gwen going to rest so early? Is she feeling unwell?”

“Don’t worry, Gwen is just a little tired.”

Seeing her husband’s worried expression, Helen smiled and said, “Gwen said Lynn is teaching her many courses that she would only learn in college, so she’s been studying very hard every day.”

“I guess she’s been overthinking. Don’t worry, it’ll be fine after Gwen starts school next week.”

Hearing his wife say that, George finally nodded.

Back in her room, Gwen lay on her bed and started playing on her phone.

When it was almost 7:30, Gwen put her phone aside and pretended to be asleep.

Sure enough, a dozen seconds later, Helen gently opened Gwen’s door.

Only after seeing Gwen already asleep did she close the door again with peace of mind.

The moment the door closed, Gwen listened carefully for a while.

After confirming that her mother had left the hallway, she pulled back the covers and took out her Spider-Suit from under the bed.

Dressed in her Spider-Suit, Gwen carefully opened the window and climbed out.

Then she used her web-shooters to swing into the distance, gradually disappearing into the night.

Queens, inside a private room on the third floor of a bar.

“Damn it, why is the supply getting scarcer recently?”

The bar owner looked at the drug dealer sitting across from him on the sofa, then frowned and said, “Do you know how much money I’ll lose if the supply is halved?”

Hearing the bar owner’s words, the leading Mexican drug dealer said, “Things haven’t been peaceful recently. Those cops are on us like mad dogs.”

“A few days ago, we not only lost a large batch of goods but also several men, and even our transportation channels were completely busted by the cops.”

“I don’t care about that!”

Facing the leading Mexican drug dealer’s complaints, the bar owner closed the box on the table. “If you can’t make the transaction with the required weight next month,”

“Then don’t blame me for finding other partners.”

“Are you threatening us?”

Hearing the bar owner’s words, the leading Mexican drug dealer frowned and asked.

“You can interpret it that way!”

Looking at the drug dealer, the bar owner snorted, “If New York’s underground emperor hadn’t suddenly suspended all drug business recently, do you think you could have entered the New York market?”

“Remember, next month I need enough goods, otherwise, you can forget about doing business in Queens!”

Outside the window.

Hanging upside down by her web, Gwen held a miniature camera and recorded everything happening inside the private room.

After the transaction was completed, Gwen put the miniature camera into the containment device on her waist.

Then she took out the electromagnetic pulser Lynn had prepared for her and pressed it.

“Click!”

As the button was pressed, the next moment, the once lively bar instantly lost power, and the private room became completely dark.

“FUXX, what’s going on?”

“Damn it, are you trying to rip us off?”

“Bullshit, my reputation has always been the best, Damian, go out and see what’s going on?”

Watching the two groups in the private room instantly draw their weapons and become wary of each other, Gwen took out a powerful flashbang grenade, shattered the glass, and threw it in!
