Chapter 4 Peter Parker and Gwen Stacy
"Hi! Mr. Pi, you're about to enter High School, why are you still looking so gloomy?"
Hearing the teasing filled with youthful energy, Peter Parker raised his head, which was almost buried in his chest, and looked towards the source of the voice.
The newcomer was a girl, her golden hair shining brightly in the sunlight, complementing her snow-white Skin. The girl was smiling, even revealing her slightly uneven front teeth, which was quite adorable. Although the girl tried to hide it, Peter still saw worry in her watery eyes.
And also his own worried face reflected in them.
"I'm fine, Gwen." Peter really didn't like Gwen's current expression, not that he disliked her, but he loathed seeing himself reflected in her eyes – weak and timid. "Really... I'm fine."
Peter said he was fine, but anyone could see the worry etched on his face.
"Really fine? Peter, we're friends. Tell me, and I can help you." Gwen looked at Peter with concern, and then she seemed to think of something.
"Is it those bastards bullying you again?" Gwen asked through gritted teeth, her tone an Inquire.
Peter Parker was the focus of attention for those bad kids at School. Skinny and timid, wearing thick Glasses, and orphaned, Peter was the perfect target for bullies.
Facing Gwen's Inquire, Peter just lowered his head, adjusted his Glasses with his hand, and tried to hide his inner annoyance.
Peter loathed his own weakness. Every time he was bullied, Gwen would help him drive away those bastards. Those bastards even said he was a coward who could only be protected by a girl.
Gwen just looked at Peter. As long as Peter nodded, she would rush to those guys' Home to get justice for him. But Peter just remained silent, like an...
"Ostrich!" A sudden voice broke the silence between the two. Gwen looked towards the source of the voice, while Peter buried his head even deeper.
"Larry." Gwen looked at the person clearly and then glared at him with disgust.
The newcomer was dressed in baggy hip-hop clothes, with black Skin and dreadlocks. He walked with a twist at every step, as if he were stepping on a live wire. Behind him were two black men dressed similarly.
"Oh, please don't look at me like that. We're classmates after all." Larry walked over and familiarly put his hand on Peter's shoulder, acting like they were buddies. Then, he shifted his weight and leaned all his weight onto Peter.
Peter's height was only about 1.6 meters, about the same as Gwen's, while Larry was 1.78 meters tall. Plus, Peter was skinny, while Larry was very strong. Peter's face flushed red from the pressure.
"Larry, let go of Peter!" Gwen, seeing Peter sweating profusely, immediately stepped forward to rescue Peter.
However, Larry's two lackeys consciously stepped forward and blocked Gwen.
"What are you doing?!" Gwen looked at Larry and his two companions in shock and anger.
"What are we doing? We're about to part ways soon. You two good students are about to go to High School, while poor little Larry can only go home to help with work. We can say we'll be going our separate ways in the future. Can't we old classmates reminisce with the geniuses now?"
Larry's tone was sarcastic, and he kept winking while speaking, making Gwen want to punch him.
"I said, let go of Peter right now!" Gwen said sternly.
"Oh! Our top student looks down on poor little Larry and isn't even willing to spare a little warmth for us." Facing Gwen's warning, Larry put on a scared expression, and then immediately burst out laughing.
"Alright, alright, Mr. Ostrich, go back to your warm Sandpile." After saying that, Larry moved his hand from Peter's shoulder to his back, and then pushed him hard. Peter was unprepared and stumbled forward, falling.
"Peter!" Gwen, blocked by the lackeys, couldn't catch Peter in time and could only watch Peter fall to the ground.
Seeing Peter fall to the ground, Larry laughed loudly, and the other two lackeys joined in.
"Ouch!"
"Ah!"
Furious, Gwen raised her right knee and slammed it hard into the groin of one of the lackeys. Before the other one could react, she used the Backpack in her hand to smash the other person in the face. Then, taking advantage of the two of them reeling in pain, she ran towards Peter.
"Peter, are you alright?" Gwen ran to Peter, helped him up, and noticed some scratches on his face.
Just as Peter was helped up and about to speak, he saw a foot coming from behind Gwen. Peter pushed hard, and Gwen just dodged the foot, but Peter himself took the brunt of it. The foot kicked him hard in the stomach, causing him to fall again.
Gwen turned her head and found that the two lackeys had already come behind them. The one whose groin was attacked was still clutching his groin with one hand, and the kick was from the one who was hit in the face with the Backpack.
"Wow, wow, wow, Miss Gwen, that wasn't funny." Although Larry said it wasn't funny, the smile on his face never disappeared.
"Although we're good classmates, and it's acceptable for classmates to joke around, jokes should have limits." Larry walked over with one hand in his pocket, twisting at every step, forming a pincer formation with his two lackeys, surrounding Gwen and Peter.
Gwen looked at the three people surrounding them, and her hand slowly reached into her pocket, wanting to call her dad for help. But when she reached in, she found it empty. Only then did she remember that her Mobile phone was put in her Backpack, and she had just thrown the Backpack out. Now, the Backpack was lying quietly not far behind those two lackeys.
"What do you want?" Gwen looked at Larry coldly. Although she looked brave, her hand hidden in her pocket was actually trembling.
"What do I want? You're asking me what I want?" Larry acted as if he had heard a funny joke. "My friends each got hit once, of course, we have to return the favor."
"Fine! Then let me take your hits!" Gwen said loudly, also trying to embolden herself.
"Oh, Miss Gwen, your father is a police officer. I wouldn't dare to hurt you. You two, for my sake, just vent on Mr. Ostrich." Larry smirked and looked at Peter, who was leaning against the wall to relieve his pain.
"No, if you have the guts, come at me." Gwen hid Peter behind her and watched the two people slowly approaching them vigilantly.
"Cough cough, help... help!" Behind Gwen, Peter, who had just recovered, shouted loudly for help, his voice strained.
Hearing Peter shout like this, Gwen also reacted and hurriedly started calling for help as well.
The two lackeys looked at Larry in panic, but Larry was not flustered at all. He instructed the two, "Hurry up and hit him, run after you're done, that's it. We're all minors, what's there to be afraid of?"
Larry's words seemed to reassure the two. One of them reached out to grab Gwen, wanting to pull Gwen away and then beat Peter up.
"Cough cough! What are you doing?" Just as that person was about to grab Gwen, and Gwen was preparing to resist, a voice of Inquire came from the Alley entrance.
'Someone's coming.' Gwen was overjoyed and continued to shout loudly, "Is anyone there! Someone is attacking us here!"
"fk! Coming to spoil things at this time." Larry cursed and then looked at the newcomer.
"What is it, just a Yellow-skinned person." Larry found that the newcomer was just one person, and still a Yellow-skinned person leaning on a Stick. He sneered and signaled to another lackey to stop the person, and then continue.
"Hey! Hey! Yellow-skinned cripple, this is not a place for you to come. Get lost!" After receiving the instruction, the lackey quickly walked in front of the Yellow-skinned person and shouted.
Yang Le looked at the black man who was baring his fangs and claws in front of him. After listening to what he said, without hesitation, he raised his Stick and struck the person's groin.
Accompanied by a 'smack' sound, he directly covered his groin with both hands and fell to the ground, fainting before he could even let out a scream.
All the men present except Yang Le subconsciously covered their groins.
And Yang Le just flicked his Stick and said lightly.
"Is the Farm tool speaking?"
