Chapter XIV: Reconciliation

The scorching flames engulfed everything.

The spells of the two clashed again, and the spell flames quickly ignited the entire hotel, and also blocked everyone's footsteps in fighting the fire.

Relying on his strength and the fireproof material on his clothes, Peter forced himself into the flames...... But he quickly paid the price for his recklessness. The spell flame was far more difficult than he had imagined, and he was only stuck to a small beam of flame, which was like a maggot on a tarsal bone, and burned a big hole in his clothes.

Peter was burned and screamed, but fortunately there was a swimming pool in the hotel, and he couldn't stand the pain anymore and jumped into it......

Hotel upper floors.

Soon, Alec gave up on the idea of using spells to defeat Nicole. As a descendant of the king, Nicole's spell ability is stronger than he thought, and it is not a little stronger, but much stronger. Although he used to be a high-level fire spirit and was proficient in a large number of spells, Nicole's status was amazing, as the daughter of a king, she had a large number of rare spells in her hands, and even her spell expertise was better than Alec's.

The spell didn't help Nicole, and Alec immediately changed tactics.

The flames in his hand gradually converged into a long sword, and then his figure flashed, and the long sword in his hand slashed towards Nicole's head.

Nicole was furious, and the magic energy gathered in her hand became more and more powerful.

"Alec, don't push me!"

The long sword slashed steadily, and there was no hesitation in sight.

Nicole finally gave up.

- [Sunbird]!

The terrifying flames exploded, forcing Alec back ten steps, and a huge bird phantage appeared in the room.

Another rare spell.

And it's also the most obscure summoning spell.

Alec's face turned pale.

From what he had seen and heard, he could recognize at a glance that the Sun Year in front of him was actually a descendant of the Hellfire Phoenix, one of the top races in hell, and was born with the terrifying strength of a medium devil. It takes seven hundred years for a sunbird to reach adulthood, and by that time, even the weakest sunbird will be able to rival the higher devils...... The sunbird in front of him is just a phantom summoned by a spell, and it is not even a clone, but even so, it has a strength that is not weaker than him!

Nicole, who was attacked by the contract, spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Sunbird is an elemental being, and hand-to-hand combat with it is pure death, and Alec knows this. Before the battle began, he ducked out of the way and threw out a [lava chain].

Chains wrapped around the sunbird's wings.

He didn't dare to let the big bird fly, and at the speed of the sunbird, his spell didn't even want to hit.

The battle reached a stalemate.

Nicole's somewhat weak voice came from behind the Sunbird: "Alec, stop, I don't want to fight with you, this is a misunderstanding!" ”

Alec was unmoved: "If you're still planning to collect souls, it's not a misunderstanding!" ”

Nicole was annoyed: "Alec, I didn't collect souls to get out of your control!" ”

"You think I'll believe it?"

"I can swear to the will of hell!"

The spell fluctuations in the room finally calmed down. Nicole immediately breathed a sigh of relief, the consumption of the sunbird was too great, and just maintaining the spell required a huge amount of power. Because of the contract, she didn't dare to kill Alec, which made her extremely disadvantaged in the battle, and if she continued to fight, the biggest possibility was that Alec was seriously injured, and she died on the spot.

Without Nicole's mana supply, the sunbird, which had not had time to exert its power, let out a mournful cry and disappeared into the room.

……

The battle, which lasted less than ten minutes, caused horrific damage to the hotel.

It was almost in ruins - the once golden rooms were now only flames and wreckage. Of course, this room was not the only one that was destroyed, and if you looked outside the hotel, you could see that half of the entire building was engulfed in spell flames, and black smoke rose into the sky, and half of New York City could be seen.

"Nicole, let's go!"

Alec didn't think about compensation at all, he pulled up the pale Nicole and slipped away very simply.

……

NYPD.

Sergeant George, who didn't close his eyes for a day and a night, felt like his brain was going to explode.

After the efforts of the fire brigade, the fire in the restaurant was finally extinguished, but the hotel worth a billion dollars was also burned to the ground - if it was just an economic loss, it would not have given him such a headache, and what really drove him crazy was the "vigilante" who was active in New York, that is, the people Spider-Man rescued from the restaurant.

Two millionaires worth tens of millions...... Well, they're just trash fish.

The headache for George was a middle-aged man named Alexander Broadley, a member of the U.S. Congress and vice president of the Senate.

This is a heavyweight.

A fire that did not cause casualties, because of Alexander's presence, rose to the height of a "terrorist attack". George's immediate boss personally interrogated the case and gave him a deadline of three days to solve the case.

If the case can't be solved within three days, George will have to roll up and leave.

George quickly looked at the file in his hand, it was the hotel's check-in form, and unsurprisingly, he didn't find any valuable clues.

"Peggy, has the footage been restored?"

A tall female police officer looked up and replied, "It's recovered, it's being investigated!" ”

"There is a suspicious person, remember to notify me......"

"Got it, head!"

"As for the bounty, do you have any clues?"

"Not yet."

George rubbed his brow, it was already the second day, and he ...... The suspect has not even been found, let alone solved.

A young police officer ran in.

"Sheriff George! There was a college student outside the door and said he knew the identity of the suspect! ”

George was in good spirits.

"Call him in, quick!"

Peter Parker walked into the police station with some embarrassment.

A police officer immediately vacated his seat and served him coffee. George looked at the young man in front of him without a trace, and was surprised to find that it was an old acquaintance - his daughter's classmate, and maybe even her boyfriend.

"Peter Parker? How did you end up here? ”

"Sheriff George, I saw the bounty you posted, so ......"

George's face immediately sank.

"Peter, if you are just here to offer a bounty, then I advise you, forget about the bounty, and leave immediately, I will not pursue it."

Peter's expression grew more and more embarrassed.

"Sheriff George, I didn't lie, I really saw ......"

"Peter!" George's face became more and more unhappy, "The San Terrea Hotel is one of the most upscale hotels in New York, and the minimum cost for a meal in it is 10,000 US dollars, maybe you should explain to me, where did you get the money to eat there!" Whether what you say is true or not, I'm not interested, because I don't know if the prisoner will be caught or not, but you will definitely be locked up, and if you can't explain the source of the money, you will go to jail for it! ”

"I didn't dine in there......"

"That's trespassing, where is it going?"

Peter's face was embarrassed.

George's face was a little tired, he waved his hand, and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you as if you haven't been here!" ”

Peter walked out of the police station with an ugly face, he felt that George's attitude was strange today. Solving the case is at stake for Sheriff George's future, and whether Peter's news is true or not, George should always listen to it and then judge - but the truth is that George just kicked Peter out, and he didn't even have a chance to tell the truth.

Peter looked at the door of the police station and walked to his house full of doubts.

Soon, Peter came to the door of his house, and the hidden door made his heart skip a beat, and he pushed open the door and rushed in, and two familiar figures appeared in front of him.

Alec and Nicole.

Peter stiffened.

At that moment, Mae Parker walked out of the kitchen with a plate of barbecue and a smile on her face.

"Peter, your friend has come to see you. Dinner is almost ready, I'll go and get busy first, you guys sit! ”
