But for Hood, this was not a problem at all.
If nothing unexpected happens,Kingpin will spend the latter half of his life in a vegetative state.
The sturdy man was leaning against a dilapidated pillar, his body covered in scars, and his eyes were hollow.
"Call 911 for your boss,"
"Then turn yourself in with everything from these warehouses."
Hood withdrew his hand and calmly turned to the terrified thugs.
As their eyes met, the thugs hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Just moments ago, they had witnessed a sight that would haunt them for life.
"Let's go!"
Hood glanced atKingpin, lying motionless on the ground, and directly took Gwen away from the warehouse.
No one dared to stop them.
Who would have thought that after just one night, the emperor of the underworld would vanish forever?
What remained was merely an inconsequential vegetable.
Under the moonlight, the ground glistened like silver frost.
At first glance, it resembled a layer of silver frost covering the earth.
On a small hill outside the city, the pure white moonlight enveloped the hilltop.
Gwen was sitting on the sharp cliff, gazing up at the moon.
She remained silent, lost in thought as she looked at the bright moon.
"Do you hateKingpin?"
Hood sat beside Gwen and asked.
He could tell that Gwen's hatred had peaked the momentKingpin appeared, almost wanting to tear him apart.
Moreover, Gwen's nature was far from being so extreme.
This time, it was evident just how much Gwen despisedKingpin.
"Uh-huh."
Gwen nodded slightly and pulled off her hood.
As she did, her light golden hair cascaded down, flowing like a river of stars under the moonlight.
The high bridge of her nose accentuated her enchanting face.
Her fair skin, now visible, resembled exquisite white jade.
In the glow of the moonlight, her skin radiated a translucent sheen.
Gwen's facial features were delicate yet soft, her nose high, and her lips pursed, emanating a sense of resolve and determination.
"You..."
Hood was taken aback.
Gwen had always been concerned about her identity, so she wouldn't easily let outsiders see her face.
He never expected that she would reveal her face right in front of him.
And this face was incredibly beautiful...
Like a delicate orchid under the moonlight, possessing both elegance and a touch of youthful allure.
Compared to Wanda, they were two extremes, yet it didn't diminish Gwen's beauty at all.
"Surprised?"
Gwen smiled, tilting her head as she looked at Hood. "You're not wearing a mask either, are you? If I kept mine on, it would be rude."
"Uh-huh!"
Hood stared at her captivating face and unconsciously nodded.
He had to admit that Gwen's beauty far surpassed his expectations.
"My father is a police officer. Over two years ago, while on duty, he arrested a fugitive and offendedKingpin, resulting in serious injuries.
He has been in the hospital for over two years and has not woken up."
Gwen's gaze dimmed as she looked at the distant city, vibrant with life.
This was precisely why she hatedKingpin so passionately.
Without that incident...
She might not have been Spider-Woman but rather a neighbor girl.
"So, you wantKingpin to experience the same pain..."
Hood hadn't expected that Gwen's family situation in this universe was equally tragic.
This was likely the reason she relentlessly pursuedKingpin.
For Gwen, this would probably be a lifelong shadow.
He remembered that Gwen's father, Mr. George, was indeed a police officer.
A just, brave, and helpful policeman full of ambition.
Yet he had become a vegetable.
The feeling was almost worse than death!
It was as if that hope dangled over Gwen like a taut string.
Because she herself didn't know if her father would ever wake up.
Hood said, "For someone likeKingpin, being a living yet uninterested vegetable is clearly more terrifying than death."
"Uh-huh."
"I've always been investigating this matter, which is why I've constantly botheredKingpin."
"But he's just too strong; his power is terrifying. No matter what I do, I feel weak in comparison."
Gwen turned her gaze to the moon, nodding slightly, her eyes glimmering with light.
At this moment, her persistence had finally borne fruit.
"But your goal has been achieved."
Hood took a deep breath, forcing a smile as he tried to comfort her.
She was also a pitiful person, constantly on the road for revenge.
Never once stopping her steps.
"Right... but it seems like it hasn't really been achieved."
Gwen lowered her head and sighed. "My father still lies in bed and will never wake up."
Though she claimed to have accomplished her goal, what followed was emptiness and despair.
The girl looked sad, tears streaming down her cheeks, but she quickly wiped them away with the back of her hand.
She didn't want to show her vulnerable side in front of others.
Suddenly, a large hand grasped her delicate hand. "No! Your father has a chance to wake up!"
"You have a way?"
Gwen's head shot up, her eyes sparkling with hopeful tears. "You have a way?"
This man was always shrouded in an aura of mystery; perhaps he really did have a solution.
"Tomorrow morning, we'll go visit your father at the hospital, and I'll arrange everything!"
Hood nodded affirmatively.
He had the horse talisman, which could heal all illnesses.
Gwen's father would surely show signs of recovery.
"Then let's go tomorrow!"
Gwen didn't pull away from Hood's large hand; instead, she beamed with a brilliant smile.
Her sixth sense told her that she could trust this mysterious man in front of her.
And whenever she got close to him, she felt at ease.
He was someone worthy of trust.
"Let's go!"
Hood voluntarily released her hand, stood up with a smile, and said, "It's settled then. I'll come over tomorrow night."
"Mm!"
Gwen nodded with a shy smile, looking enchanting under the moonlight.
Hode rode the motorcycle, taking Gwen to her home.
"Give me your number!" Gwen said as she got off the motorcycle, eagerly asking.
Hode was happy to exchange numbers.
"I'm heading back now," Gwen said, waving her phone containing the saved number.
"Go ahead!" Hode waved his hand.
But just then, Gwen seemed to muster her courage, stepped forward suddenly, and planted a soft kiss on Hode's cheek.
Hode's eyes widened in surprise; he never expected that to happen...
"I'm heading back! See you tomorrow!" Gwen quickly pulled back and jogged towards her place.
Hode touched his cheek, watching the figure disappear between the tall buildings.
He had just been unexpectedly kissed by a little girl!
However...
Those soft lips would be wasted if only used for kissing cheeks...
