"I didn't think the little witch would get so jealous!"
Hode gasped, pretending to be in pain as he rubbed his waist.
When a girl strikes hard, she must pretend not to be hurt, but when she lightly touches, she must act like it truly hurts.
As someone who has navigated through many flirtations, Hode was naturally quite adept at this.
"You really are…"
Boom!
Just as Wanda was about to tighten her grip, a loud noise suddenly rang out ahead.
Both of them quickly looked up and saw a massive cloud of dust billowing in the distance.
The people sitting in the vehicle couldn't help but get out to check the situation ahead.
"Ah!!! A monster!"
"Run!"
"What is that?!"
"Don't block me, get out of the way!"
"..."
From the front came the sounds of screams and cries from the crowd.
Suddenly, the entire street descended into chaos as people wept and shouted, fleeing backward.
Vehicles in front started reversing in a panic.
The sudden incident caught the drivers off guard, resulting in a massive pile-up.
Cars crashed into each other as honks, cries, and alarms mixed in confusion.
"What's happening?"
Wanda quickly unbuckled her seatbelt, placed her right hand on the door latch, and frowned slightly at the situation ahead.
This was the city center; such an event was highly unusual.
It was very likely that a violent incident had occurred, and if so, she needed to step in.
Otherwise, the casualties could be catastrophic.
"It seems something is coming,"
Hode said as he got out of the car, frowning at what lay ahead.
Through the swirling dust, something was hurtling towards them at a rapid pace.
A tall figure sprinted forward, causing the surrounding dust to swirl around it.
The next moment, the imposing figure burst out from the cloud of dust.
It was clearly a humanoid creature, covered in dense green scales, with sharp spikes protruding from its head to its tail.
It wore a tattered piece of white cloth that used to be a shirt, now stretched to its limits.
"ROAR!!!"
It violently tossed aside the cars in its path.
Its roar instilled terror in the fleeing citizens.
"Doctor Connors!"
The moment Hode recognized the creature, he realized it was the Lizardman.
"Who?"
"What kind of monster is that?!"
Wanda, who had also exited the car, stared solemnly at the Lizardman nearby.
The chaotic energy started to swirl around her wrists, the crimson glow preparing for action.
Even though she was being cursed at, her sense of justice remained intact.
"ROAR!!!"
The Lizardman quickly stood back up, its scaly left hand gripped tightly as it uprooted a nearby utility pole.
With a roar, it hurled the pole straight at Ghost-Spider.
The sound of the wind created by the swinging pole echoed through the air.
Ghost-Spider flipped backward, skillfully dodging the attack.
"Your moves are way too slow; you can't even be called a proper Lizard!"
"How about this? I'll send you to jail first, so you can observe the animal kingdom. Maybe you'll get some interesting inspiration!"
"This way, this way! Where are you looking? Don't run that way!"
