chapter 53

Peter tightened his grip on his uncle's hand, looking at the gradually dimming eyes with an overwhelming sense of rage. Just then, a police officer's radio sounded: "Attention all units, the suspect is heading towards Fifth Avenue! Three police cars are in pursuit, requesting nearby officers to support!"

Peter held back his tears, stood up, and quickly entered a nearby alley. He took off his coat, revealing his suit, and put on his mask, swinging away like a pendulum towards Fifth Avenue to chase after the suspect.

Three minutes later, Peter spotted the familiar car and after a brief confrontation, forced it into a factory. He dodged bullets fired by the criminal using the light to see the face that was all too familiar. Emotions surged in Peter's heart as he asked in a chilling voice, "Why did you kill my uncle?"

The man looked at Peter with panic and pleaded, "Please don't hurt me! Give me a chance!"

"Did you give my uncle a chance? Did you?" Peter Parker roared angrily, but then hesitated. He had never killed anyone and couldn't bring himself to do it now. Facing the murderer of his loved ones, he felt paralyzed, unsure of how to proceed. Taking advantage of Peter's hesitation, the man raised his gun and said softly, "Goodbye!"

Before he could pull the trigger, Peter, sensing the danger, quickly snapped the man's wrist. The intense pain caused the man to step back, tripping over a water pipe and falling from the third floor. Peter looked through the broken glass at the lifeless body on the ground, unable to calm his heart.

Hearing the police breaking in, Peter didn't want to be caught. He climbed up the wall and quickly escaped from the scene. He arrived at the rooftop of a building, recalling the argument with his uncle earlier in the morning, and regret flooded his heart. In the early morning hours, Peter pushed open the door and sat in the living room with Aunt May, who quickly stood up and hugged him.

Sitting in the living room, Yi Hu absentmindedly changed TV channels, hesitating for a second before deciding to do some missions and accumulate points for later merging the gems. Once he gathered ten thousand points, he would go to Asgard to find Thor and ask him to help locate the next gem. This way, he could participate in the Guardians of the Galaxy storyline and unlock the full power of a All Father-level.

Looking at the dense names of worlds on the screen, Yi Hu's gaze stopped at an image, and he mentally confirmed his choice. After a strange fluctuation, Yi Hu arrived in a forest. In the distance, three young people were waving goodbye to the villagers. Yi Hu smiled in relief. He believed that these three could make a name for themselves in the Imperial Capital, as they were the strongest in their village.

Tatsumi, together with his two friends, walked on the road filled with hope for the future.

The next day, a group of bandits blocked their way and robbed them. The three agreed to meet in the Imperial Capital and then escape separately. Three days later,Yi Hu arrived in the Imperial Capital, staying at an inn with the money he got from killing the robbers on the road, waiting patiently for Esdeath to return to the imperial capital.

In the Imperial Capital, Tatsumi went to the barracks to join the army. When he was told he had to start from the bottom, he drew his long sword from behind, wanting to have his strength tested to gain an officer position. However, the officer in charge promptly kicked him out. As Tatsumi walked on the street, he was tricked by Leone , a member of the Night Raid.

In the evening, Tatsumi, walking on the street, understood the meaning of Leone 's words when she left. He sighed and sat in a corner of the street, reminiscing about the time spent in the village.

But thinking about the situation in the village, Tatsumi forced himself to be spirited, preparing to go to the barracks tomorrow to enlist in the army and start from the bottom. He believed that with his abilities, he would eventually be recognized and promoted. As Tatsumi lightly slept, he was awakened by footsteps and saw a beautiful figure with fair skin before him, causing his cheeks to blush slightly.

"Do you have nowhere to sleep? Why not come to my place?" the gentle voice of the girl sounded. Remembering what Leone said earlier about not having money, Tatsumi whispered, "I don't have money..."

"Giggles, if you had money, you wouldn't be sleeping here. Come on, I'll take you home!" Aria's face had a sweet smile, but in her heart, she was thinking about how to deal with this outsider. Thinking about the crying appearance of those toys, Aria subconsciously tightened her legs, a blush appearing on her face. Tatsumi, who had lowered his head, didn't notice any of this.

After being warmly welcomed by Aria's family, Tatsumi couldn't help but marvel that there were still kind-hearted people in the Imperial Capital. After finishing dinner, Aria led him to a warehouse where many toys were placed. Sayo was suspended in the air with bruises all over her body. Aria's smiling face gradually turned sinister and terrifying as she picked up a red-hot iron and pressed it on the girl's body.

Sayo's body twitched, and her breath became weaker. After fixing her up, Aria left the warehouse with a sweet smile on her face. The next morning, Yi Hu left the inn and came to the street, ready to enjoy the sights of the Imperial Capital.

Outside a cafe, Leone slowly put down her teacup, a faint smile on her lips. In her heart, she thought of another fat sheep. she remembered the gold coins the boy contributed yesterday and began to look forward to how many winter clothes she could buy for the children in the slum with this new sheep. After strolling through two streets, Yi Hu stopped and coldly said, "You've been following me for so long, don't you have something to say?"

"Hehe, handsome young man, is this your first time in the Imperial Capital? Do you need a guide? As long as you pay, I can fulfil all your requests!" Leone said with a smile. Yi Hu stared at her, feeling cautious. His appearance was far from handsome, and the fact that this person praised him so much had to mean there was an ulterior motive.

"No need, I don't like you!" he coldly shook his head and turned towards a nearby tavern. Leone's eyes flickered with surprise. She had never been so decisively rejected before.

"Hey, don't go, young man!" Leone came to his side, trying to embrace his arm and use her charms to smooth out his edges. But his eyes turned cold, and he used his psychic power to form a barrier to block Lene's actions.

Feeling resistance, Leone immediately acted as if he was pushed back, looking puzzled.

Yu Hi looked at the familiar face and hesitated slightly before saying, "You are the Leone, right?"

Hearing him know her name, Leone started to compare him with her past victims she had deceived. when the words "Leone " were mentioned, her eyes instantly became sharp as a razor. "Who are you? How do you know my identity?"
