What Jessica said was just some community service, which was quickly overturned.

Because of the gangster she beaten, the injury appraisal report was "severe cervical spine injury".

And ask for 500,000 compensation!

"Intense injuries and pain, and loss of ability to earn a living."

Jessica, who had been released on bail by Peter, read the report in disbelief.

After a long pause, she put down the injury certificate in her hand, stood up and walked to the window.

She doesn't even have a few hundred dollars, let alone half a million, right now.

She tried to ask Peter for help, but she couldn't get the phone number while she was holding her phone.

"I can't always rely on Peter."

After a while, she put down her phone and sat down on the chair.

In the rental room, the sunlight from outside shone in, adding some light to the room, but her heart was always gloomy and could not be dispelled.

Returning to school with a heavy heart, she received a text message from Peter before the class was over.

"You're going to be sued, aren't you? Jessica. ”

"It looks like so, the guys made me pay half a million."

Jessica texted with a sad face.

Soon Peter texted her, "I can help you pay half a million." ”

"Really?"

Jessica was stunned, "Will you have 500,000?" Well, I'm not suspicious of you, but it's not a small amount. ”

"All you need to know is that I have the money, but I'm not giving it to you for free, Jessica, as if you borrowed it."

Jessica was a little weak-hearted, "I-how am I going to pay it back?" ”

She didn't think she could afford to pay back such a large sum of money.

"When you graduate from high school, work for me, maybe I'll set up a private detective agency or something, and you can work in it to pay back."

Looking at the text sent by Peter, Jessica was slightly confused.

What is this?

What kind of capitalist is Peter, and is he looking for a migrant worker now?

She had the feeling that she was on a thief ship.

But after thinking about it, he had already been dragged onto the thief ship by him, was there any alternative?

In the end, she hesitated for a moment and sent a sentence, "Okay, I'm willing to work for you as a part-time worker, anyway, I have long been held by you." ”

On the other side, Peter read the text on the text message and silently put away his phone.

The idea of white bleaching as a worker is true, but the idea of spending half a million dollars is false.

He has a better way to solve the problem without spending money.

That is – just address the person who asked the question.

The next day, early in the morning.

Jessica was soon picked up with charges against herself for canceling.

When she learned about it, she was shocked and uneasy all morning.

The gangsters didn't file a lawsuit against themselves.

As for the reason, it's not that the guys suddenly found out on their conscience, it's that they seem to be finished.

The group of bastards who were found to be killing each other died mysteriously.

The police told themselves that they judged the cause of death to be cannibalism.

Because the murder weapon had their fingerprints on it, and the surveillance also showed that one of them had launched the attack on the other members.

Although he was very suspicious as the beneficiary of the incident, in the end, the police decided that the incident and himself were innocent.

"What is this?"

She let out a breath and sat back on the couch.

That's how your own business is solved?

Although the police quickly ruled her out of suspicion, she still felt a little uneasy.

Did Peter do it?!

No, no, the police said that the preliminary judgment was that the other party was guilty of internal fire.

The killer was a member of one of their gangs, who killed the gangster leader and took almost all of the cash.

In other words, Peter didn't have to pay back for himself.

But

Why do I always feel that these things are inseparable from Peter?

After all, she watched Peter raise the dead!

She tried to call Peter to ask, but in the end she didn't call.

"Well, although the matter has been resolved, it seems that the other party has not relieved me of my identity as a worker."

Putting down the phone, Jessica exhaled helplessly.

Soon her phone vibrated and rang.

When I looked down, I saw that it was Peter who had sent a message to me.

"The matter has been settled."

"Well, may I ask, does this have anything to do with you? Peter, I mean, those guys aren't you ......?"

Jessica asked Peter cryptically.

"Do you want to say that I solved it?"

"There is such a question."

"I have nothing to do with the rain."

Jessica looked at the text sent by Peter, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, she didn't believe it had nothing to do with Peter.

There is no one else who can do such a thing but Peter.

Last time Peter was able to resurrect a dead man, now it seems not impossible to directly let them kill each other.

"How did you do that?"

Jessica typed and continued to ask the other party.

"I'm a law-abiding citizen, and you're the one who deserves the police's suspicion compared to suspecting me, Jessica."

Peter texted her, "You don't have to be sued anyway, but the agreement between us won't end, and you still have to work for me." ”

"Well, I knew you'd say that, but I can't work until you open a detective agency or something, don't you?"

Soon her idea was punctured by Peter, "No, now you can work." ”

"How does it work?"

"Investigate someone for me, a guy who seems to be a mutant, but thinks he's a magician."

……

On the other side, forest hills.

Because of the weekend, Gwen came to Peter's house early to eat.

Seeing that Peter had been texting on his phone, her brow furrowed.

"Peter, are you talking to someone?"

"It's settled."

Putting down the phone, Peter turned to Gwen and said, "Sorry, there was something unexpected. ”

"It can't be another girl, right?"

Gwen asked Peter, with a woman's intuition.

"It's not."

He lied without the slightest blush.

"Okay."

Gwen didn't go any further, but talked about something else, "You asked me about the names of two people and asked me if I knew them, and I went back and checked. ”

"Well, what did you find?"

Peter picked up his coffee, took a slightly bitter sip, and asked her.

"Regarding the Magneto you mentioned, I didn't find any relevant information, but the Professor X you mentioned seems to be the principal of a school."

Gwen tells Peter what she's found, "And he seems to be a mutant, and there are rumors of that on the internet." ”

"Almost."

Peter nodded, "He's a mutant, but ...... He's not the mutant terrorists you know. ”

In modern society, mutants have always been excluded and oppressed as a marginalized group, and most people even equate them with terrorists.

In the mainstream media, Peter rarely sees them mentioned.

They seem to be a forgotten bunch.

"Really? But when I think about that car bomber bastard, I don't have a very good impression of mutants. ”

Gwen said angrily.

She picked up the newspaper that Uncle Ben had ordered on the table, wanting to see the news on it.

Looking at the "Gangster Fire" in the newspaper, Gwen's brow furrowed, "It seems to be getting more and more unsafe lately, it's another car explosion, and it's the Gangster Fire." ”

At this time, Aunt Mei and Uncle Ben were not at home, there were only two people in the room, and she didn't have to scruple when she spoke.

Gwen looked at the newspaper and spat at Peter.

"How's your body?"

Peter didn't follow Gwen's words, but asked her about something else.

"I'm fine, why do you suddenly ask that?"

Gwen blinked.

"The symbiote in your body, didn't it have any effect on you? Or do you feel anything unusual? ”

Peter asked her.

Gwen thought for a moment and shook her head, "No, it's just that there may be nightmares at night, some bad memories that happened before." ”

"That."

Without waiting for Peter to speak again, Gwen suddenly coughed and asked Peter, "I heard from Dad that you helped Jessica get out on bail last night." ”

"Well, she didn't want to contact her family, so she contacted me."

Peter didn't hide it.

"But."

Gwen was a little depressed in her heart, showing it on her face, "I always feel that she comes to you whenever she has something, and the last time we went to Harry's villa, she confessed to you, Peter, I really doubt if she means anything else." ”

"I mean, she's getting too close to you."

"You know my relationship with her is insurmountable, Gwen."

Peter explained to Gwen.

"I know, but you can't control her thoughts, can you?"

Gwen's expression was a little irritated, "Peter, sometimes you can't show your feelings, like or hate, or hate, or desire to get these emotions, you hide them inside, others can't observe your emotions, maybe it will make others have ideas, which is exactly what I'm worried about." ”

"Whether it's MJ or Jessica, I think it's because your attitude gives them the illusion."

Gwen spoke her mind all at once.

She didn't have the courage to do that before.

"You're excited, Gwen."

Faced with Gwen's obviously abnormal emotional episode, Peter shook his head and said, "You regard Jessica and the others as enemies, but you don't have to, in my heart, you have always been the most different." ”

"Ugh"

Hearing Peter say this, she was stunned for a moment.

"Okay, I'll take it as your confession to me."

Although I was still a little angry, my mood was obviously calmed down a lot.

She also didn't understand why she had been so impulsive lately.

She was about to tell Peter about her recent mental changes, and by the way, she asked Peter to stay away from the girls.

Suddenly a news story was broadcast on TV.

There was another car bombing, which occurred in the New York metropolitan area.

"Ahh

Gwen stood up and said apologetically to Peter, "I can't watch that guy run rampant around the city!" ”
