Abandoned Floor.
"How's the situation?"
Hawkeye 'Barton' secured himself with a harness on the rooftop and landed on Barbara's floor.
"Hope I'm not too late."
"Unfortunately."
Barbara: "You are indeed late, Barton."
Hawkeye paused while drawing his bow.
"Something happened to him?"
"No."
Barbara raised her binoculars to her eyes and explained, "It's already been taken care of. The one who made a move was Vulture."
"I suspect it's related to Black Spider."
"Last time, when dealing with the first Green Goblin, he also appeared together with Black Spider."
"From this perspective… the connection between Black Spider and the Ghost Spider Club might be centered around Ye Li."
"We need to pay close attention to this vice president..."
"Is that so."
Hawkeye put away his bow.
As the one responsible for combat, he had no interest in power struggles.
"Then let's report to Nick."
…..
Boom—
On the rooftop of a high-rise building.
The Purple Man was thrown at Ye Li's feet by the Vulture.
Meanwhile, the black ring on Ye Li's wrist finally stopped spinning—just in time.
However, what surprised him a little was—
Besides the Purple Man, the person the Purple Man had used as a meat shield had also been taken by the Vulture.
His heart had been pierced, and he was already dead.
It wasn't that Ye Li particularly cared about the life or death of an American, but he actually knew this person—
It was "Flash" Thompson, the one who had been possessed by Venom.
It seemed that Venom had abandoned him; otherwise, he wouldn't have died here.
According to the original timeline, Thompson was supposed to become Agent Venom, barely qualifying as a superhero.
Too bad, he wouldn't get that chance now.
Without paying further attention to Thompson's corpse, Ye Li turned to look at the Purple Man at his feet, a faintly sinister and malevolent smile on his face.
He chuckled, "Guess what I'm going to do?"
The Purple Man trembled, sweat covering his forehead…
Ye Li wasn't wearing his Knight Spider suit, so Killgrave couldn't immediately figure out his identity.
However, the Vulture and Green Goblin standing beside Ye Li made him speculate…
Someone who could command the missing Vulture and Green Goblin—this person… might be a mastermind like Kingpin!
"Do you… want me to work for you?"
Killgrave swallowed hard, believing he had guessed the other's intention.
He quickly added, "No problem!"
"Whether you want to control a tycoon or a politician, I can do it!"
As he spoke, he crawled like a lapdog, trying to show his loyalty to Ye Li.
He had no choice… because he realized… his powers…were completely ineffective against everyone present…
Ye Li ignored him and walked to the edge of the rooftop, gazing at the distant scenery.
"For our dear Mr. Killgrave, let's start with a little welcome gift."
With that, the Green Goblin mechanically stepped forward, grabbed Killgrave by the back of his neck, and lifted him in front of the Vulture.
Next.
The Vulture, under Killgrave's terrified gaze, slowly spread his razor-sharp metallic wings…
"This…! No…!!"
"!!!!"
"!!!!"
"!!"
"..."
When Ye Li turned back around, Killgrave's screams had weakened.
Tears and mucus streamed down his face, his eyes void from pain…
The Vulture had been kind enough to give him—
- [A Five-Limb Removal Surgery]
"I heard you enjoy hypnotizing and violating others?"
Ye Li smirked, lightly lifting his shoe to step on Killgrave's face.
"You dared set your sights on my sister?"
Killgrave's pupils dilated in horror—only now did he realize why he had ended up like this…
"I also like cute girls…"
"Maybe we should exchange some thoughts?"
Ye Li's usual calm demeanor was gone—his gaze held a cruel, twisted glint.
"For example… what's your favorite method?"
Killgrave was in too much pain to respond—he could only sob and whimper…
"No worries, it's fine if you don't answer~"
Ye Li lifted his foot off Killgrave's face.
Then, at a leisurely pace, he turned away.
Leaving behind one last sentence for Killgrave—
"I can tell you what I prefer…."
…The Green Goblin took Ye Li's place.
He pulled a pumpkin bomb from his belt, crouched down—pried open Killgrave's jaw, and shoved it inside.
Then, he yanked out the safety pin…
"Mmm!! Mmm!!"
In Killgrave's terror-filled wait for death—
BOOM!!
Ye Li spread his arms wide, a dazzling explosion of fireworks blooming behind him.
[You have defeated Jessica Ye's fated enemy. As her 'connection,' you may choose one of the following rewards:]
[1. Monetary Reward: $1,000,000]
[2. Random Reward: Ability – Absolute Mental Shield]
[3. Servant Reward: Convert Zebediah Killgrave into an absolutely loyal…]
"Option two."
Before the system could finish listing, Ye Li made his choice.
[Ability – Absolute Mental Shield: Grants oneself or another target a psychic shield that ensures absolute protection against mind control.]
[The shield is not infinitely stackable.]
[The initial charge grants ten shields, and a new shield is generated periodically.]
Ye Li equipped one for himself and planned to distribute the rest to Gwen and the others later.
This reward, though useful, didn't bring him much joy.
On the contrary, he wasn't in the best mood.
To put it metaphorically—
Killgrave was like a pile of dog shit.
Anyone who stepped in it would be disgusted.
Thankfully, there were still the Hand members left—
…..
"Hey!"
"Mr. Ye?"
"You seem to be gone?"
"Over here."
Murdock was searching inside the detective agency.
After the Purple Man was taken away by the Vulture, he turned around and found that Ye Li was gone.
"I'm here."
Ye Li walked out of the restroom.
Matt looked puzzled, "Gunfire is going off outside, and you're using the restroom?"
"You know, it's just like watching a movie."
Ye Li calmly said, "There are always bathroom breaks."
Murdock: "..."
Is he saying my fight scenes are like a bad movie?
"Dare Devil."
With a female voice, a woman in a red ninja outfit appeared at the entrance of the detective agency.
It was Daredevil's rival and lover—Elektra.
Then.
She and Murdock started a "passionate" fight right outside the door.
Elektra had arrived.
Naturally, many Hand ninjas nearby jumped out to help!
Ye Li smiled.
He didn't even have to look for them.
Punching bags were delivering themselves to him.
And so—
[Vulture]
[Summoned]
[Green Goblin]
[Summoned]
[Electro]
[Summoned]
A few minutes later.
Vulture spread his metallic wings, with several bloodied Hand ninjas hanging from them...
Green Goblin grabbed two ninjas, pressing them against the alley wall, dragging them along as his glider sped forward, grinding them against the surface.
If the Hand ninjas could barely put up a fight against Vulture and Green Goblin...
Then Electro was outright slaughtering them—wherever his electricity surged, ninjas fell instantly.
In the end, only Elektra remained.
Since she wasn't a "privileged local of Neon" (Japan), she managed to escape in disgrace.
"Again?"
Murdock was utterly confused today...
If he were Chinese...
He might have started suspecting that he was the protagonist of a novel, with some mysterious big shot constantly backing him up...
…..
At sunset.
"The Hand members, were they completely taken out?"
Jessica blinked her big eyes and asked, "Brother, did you see it?"
Ye Li nodded, "I saw it with my own eyes."
"Li, you should stay away from their battles."
Jessica wrapped her arms around his and seriously warned, "It's too dangerous."
Ye Li shrugged, "But... they were fighting right near the detective agency."
"Huh? Is that so...?"
Jessica suddenly felt a bit guilty, "I thought outside of Hell's Kitchen wasn't that dangerous... Sorry, brother..."
"Then how do you plan to make it up to me?"
Thinking about how he had just dealt with the Purple Man today, Ye Li patted Jessica's little head and deliberately said, "Do you know how much I worry about you, little sis~"
"Then..."
Jessica blushed and said, "Then I'll wear a detective outfit today... Didn't you say you liked this?"
The golden sunset glow reflected on her flushed cheeks, making her look especially beautiful.
"Jessica..."
Ye Li stopped in his tracks, placing his hands on his obedient younger sister's shoulders, his expression serious. "I think... we can take that step now..."
"This... this won't do..."
Jessica buried her head in his arms, her voice as soft as a whisper, "We... we are siblings no matter what..."
"Not biological..."
Ye Li held Jessica close, gently stroking her back while silently bestowing upon her an absolute mental shield. "And besides that, step, we've done everything we could, haven't we?"
Jessica remained silent, her head buried in her brother's embrace for a long time, their shadows gradually stretching in the setting sun...
"Then..."
Finally.
Jessica lifted her head, her eyes more captivating than ever—"Then wait for me a moment!"
After saying that, she broke free from Ye Li's embrace and ran ahead towards the house!
Ye Li was left puzzled.
…..
"Under natural conditions, cats can go into heat at any time except for the hottest days of summer, but the best breeding seasons are in spring and autumn..."
Felicia arrived home after school earlier than Ye Li and Jessica. She was watching TV.
She currently didn't have cat ears or a tail.
Of course, she could control that form; otherwise, going outside would reveal that she was the Black Cat.
"Whoosh—"
Felicia suddenly saw a figure flash past her at high speed—!
"Jessica?"
…..
"Brother, it's okay now, come in..."
Hearing Jessica's rare timid voice, Ye Li turned the doorknob and walked into the room.
Inside the room, Jessica had changed into a fresh and comfortable outfit, made of matching light gauze material. The setting sun streamed in through the window, casting a glow on her originally fair skin, giving it a wheat-like hue, which was quite charming...
Jessica's upper body was adorned with a black off-shoulder crop top that accentuated her slender waist. However, her cute little belly button was hidden, covered by high-waisted black shorts. The shorts weren't particularly sexy, ending just above her knees, which made Jessica's outfit appear both youthful and a bit conservative.
Ye Li couldn't help but privately evaluate—this soft fabric texture seemed like it could be easily pulled off...
"Ye Li."
At this moment, Jessica's expression was focused, as if there was nothing else in her eyes besides Ye Li. She bit her plump lower lip and softly said, "I want to go to a special place..."
"A special place?" Ye Li was becoming more and more confused...
"Follow me~" The girl stepped lightly, her silver shimmer wrapping around her as she floated to the window and opened it—
A gentle breeze brushed her face, lifting her dark hair.
"Come over here~" Jessica waved to Ye Li.
"Jessica, you don't mean to just go out like this, do you?" Ye Li walked over...
But suddenly, his sister hugged him tightly.
Jessica wrapped her arms around her brother's waist and playfully winked at him, "It's fine, we won't be walking on the ground anyway~"
Silver light trailed like ribbons from the window to the sky. The sound of the wind whistled past their ears. With Jessica holding onto him, Ye Li was lifted higher and higher...
Until——
Bang~~
Passing through the clouds, standing above the vast sea of clouds.
In the distance.
A sun about to set casts a golden hue over the sea of clouds.
The beautiful scenery is silent.
Apart from the sound of the wind, all noise has disappeared.
In the world.
It seems that only two figures are embracing each other.
"How is it, brother? Isn't it nice here?"
Jessie lightly brushed her hand over the invisible white clouds beside her, the mist floating in her palm, "I just had Sky help me check the flights~ There won't be any passenger planes flying over today..."
Ye Li also reached out to grab the mist...
What to do?
What to do if I'm romantically moved by my sister?
Waiting online.
It's quite urgent.
'By the way... weather manipulation'
Ye Li cleverly thought of a way to counterattack—how could he let Jessica take the lead at such a critical moment?
"Jessica."
"Hmm?"
Hearing her brother's call.
The mist in Jessica's hand dispersed, and she nervously asked Ye Li, "Is... is it about to start?"
Ye Li whispered in her ear, "I found a strangely shaped cloud, just behind you. Do you want to take a look..."
"Brother, come on... acting like a child, looking at clouds at a time like this... how strange can it be..."
Although Jessica said this, she still turned her head to take a look, and then she saw...
...a golden heart-shaped cloud.
It stood tall in the clouds, more dazzling than the setting sun.
Its shape was so perfect...
As if a painter had drawn it amidst the sea of clouds...
"Wow~!"
"Nature is truly amazing!"
The girl couldn't take her eyes off it.
Her eyes were filled with little stars!
Girls always yearn for beautiful things, and even the usually carefree Jessica was no exception.
"Stop looking, Jessica, there's something even more amazing..."
Ye Li gently turned her little head, and the wind pushed the two of them together...
"Mmm..."
As the sun set, the sea of clouds churned, revealing delicate limbs and jade arms...
In the midst of swallowing clouds and exhaling mist.
Ye Li did not forget to use the ability of the rooster talisman, to prevent the people below from thinking—
That today's weather forecast was wrong...
