Wanda In Black Silk Stockings, Ch 23.2

"Maybe I'm just sensitive to sound, Ms. Spider-Woman," Hode replied with a soft laugh, scrutinizing Gwen before adding, "So, Ms. Spider-Woman, what are you snooping around for?"

"Snooping? I'm gathering intelligence!" Gwen awkwardly kicked at some gravel with her right foot and asked, "Hey, Unicorn, if you're going after Kingpin, can I join you?"

"Why are you calling me Unicorn?" Hode asked in surprise.

"Don't you have a big horn?" Gwen pointed at his large horn.

"I'm actually a horned beetle," Hode said, leaning against a nearby car and lazily asking, "Aren't you afraid I'm the bad guy?"

The girl was quite audacious; just after a brief encounter, she was ready to team up.

"As long as you're an enemy of Kingpin, you're a friend," Gwen answered resolutely, her voice firm.

"You have a grudge against Kingpin?" Hode hadn't expected that Spider-Woman from this world would have a vendetta against him.

"He…"

"Well, are you going or not?" Gwen hesitated, on the verge of revealing her reasons but ultimately held back.

"Fine!" Hode didn't press her further; he could sense the sadness in her tone just now. Besides, he figured that even if he didn't go, Gwen would still head there anyway. In a direct confrontation, Gwen was likely not a match for Kingpin. If he remembered correctly, Kingpin's strength could overpower Spider-Man.

He walked over to the motorcycle, turned around, and sat on it. "Spider-Woman, hop on!"

Hode waved to Gwen, who was standing some distance away.

"No thanks, I…" Gwen shook her head, about to refuse, but then heard Hode say, "It's all low buildings; are you sure you can keep up with me?"

Upon hearing this, Gwen looked around Hell's Kitchen… Indeed, in Hell's Kitchen, swinging by webbing was essentially a pipe dream. After much hesitation, she decided to climb onto Hode's motorcycle.

...

...

...

Outside an abandoned factory in the outskirts, overgrown with trees.

The large factory emitted a faint yellow glow. From its exterior, it looked like a lumber mill. Although light was scarce, it was still possible to see numerous shadows patrolling around the factory, and each was equipped with firearms.

"Shh…"

Hode stopped the motorcycle at a distance, signaling Gwen to be quiet. He then waved his right hand over the motorcycle, revealing a blue serpentine pattern on the back of his hand.

In an instant, the motorcycle vanished.

"Where did the motorcycle go?! It was just here!" Gwen's eyes nearly popped out at this sight.

Just now, the motorcycle was clearly right in front of me!

And the most important thing is, I didn't feel any vibrations at all.

Who on earth is this guy?!

"What's wrong? Are you curious?"

Hode turned his head to look at Gwen as he asked.

"Of course."

Gwen nodded seriously.

If I could also have that ability, my fighting power would definitely rise by more than one level.

"If you want to learn, I'll teach you later."

Hode initially wanted to ruffle that adorable little head, but he ultimately restrained his impulse.

"Teach me later?"

Even though Hode was wearing a mask and his voice sounded different, coming off a bit muffled, Gwen couldn't shake the feeling that this statement sounded so familiar.

"I feel like I've heard this somewhere before…"
