Chapter 27: A Wrong Direction in the Investigation
“Lucas, I found Flint Marko’s trail,” Skye’s voice came through the earpiece. “Facial recognition confirms he appeared at both of the sand-related traffic accident sites.”
“Lucas, I found Flint Marko’s trail,” Skye’s voice came through the earpiece. “Facial recognition confirms he appeared at both of the sand-related traffic accident sites.”
“Other than the sand, is there any real connection between the two incidents?” Gwen asked curiously.
“Not yet,” Lucas replied, rubbing his chin. “But I’ve got a theory th...
“Strange… Daddy should be home.”
The clever little girl decided to go around the back. Sure enough, the kitchen window wasn’t locked, so she climbed in through it.
“...
At the same time, in Washington, D.C., inside a large, arc-shaped building—
“Director, we’ve found the video footage from that case.”
A young man in a black suit hurri...
As the soft music began to play, couples drifted toward the dance floor, swaying gently to the rhythm.
Gwen immediately pulled Lucas along with her. To be honest, Lucas didn’t know...
That night, Gwen didn't go home—she stayed at the apartment. Lucas had already prepared a room for every member of the Stacy family on the second floor, right next to his own.
Time...
Lucas dropped onto the couch, watching the two masked figures shuffle nervously inside. He was about to speak when Skye, who’d been gaming with the Moogle, suddenly froze.
She toss...
Lucas had always liked Peter’s uncle. A wise man, honest and kind, who never complained about the unfairness of society. He was the moral compass that shaped Peter into Spider-Man.
Felicia nodded in agreement. “She’s right, you do look a little better without the glasses. Honestly, your eyes are really nice—it’s just that no one notices because you always hide...
"System, the Moogle isn't visible to just me, right?"
Lucas frowned. Moogles, according to the lore, weren't supposed to be seen by ordinary people. He was worried that if anyone cau...
"Right now. I'll take you to your room first."
Lucas stood and walked toward the door, Skye hurrying after him.
They left Devil May Cry and stepped into the neighboring buildi...
"Where's your sword?"
On the drive back to Devil May Cry, the thief behind the wheel couldn't hide her curiosity. She'd gotten a good look at that blade earlier—an entire weapon gl...
Lucas couldn't hold back his curiosity. He wanted to know just how much those things cost—especially considering how much Spider-Man would eventually use them.
The staffer chuckled...
"What way?" Gwen asked curiously, her eyes sparkling with dollar signs.
"Buy Stark Industries stock!"
"Pfft~~ You think I didn't know that? Do you have any idea how expensive ...
Gwen shot Lucas a look. Ever since they were kids, whenever the topic of studying came up, he'd act like it was the end of the world.
"You don't need a fancy degree to become a cop. ...
"Finally decided to come back?"
The sudden voice froze Lucas where he stood. His eyes widened as he turned toward the sound.
A slim figure sat on the bed, Gwen's gaze blazing ...
Lucas stared coldly at the screaming Adam. His heart was utterly calm. Scum deserved only cruelty.
Adam's body was drenched in sweat, his mind nearly blacking out from the agony of h...
The Punisher glanced at Lucas again and again, baffled as to how he'd pulled out such a massive sword from nowhere.
"Just a little trick. Don't worry about it," Lucas said flatly. He...
"I heard it on the news—apparently the NYPD commissioner was shot by a gang member and is still in critical condition. Don't tell me…"
As a lawyer, Daredevil instantly pieced tog...
"B-big bro… I-I really d-don't know anything… I'm just a nobody… please let me go~!!"
The thug could barely form words, trembling with sheer terror.
"Alright."
Lu...
Lucas was once again speechless. Did this system have a screw loose? His template was supposed to be Clive Rosfield from Final Fantasy XVI, yet somehow Dante from Devil May Cry kept creepin...
"System, you really are the best~!"
Lucas stroked the blade of the Ultima Weapon.
As if resonating with his emotions, the sword let out a faint hum.
"Tonight, I'm headi...
Lucas stood tall and righteous, as if none of his earlier tantrums had ever happened.
"Clive it is, then. At least he's from an action game. That counts as devil-hunting by associati...
Lucas turned to stare at John, eyes burning with fury.
Ever since George had taken him home from that abandoned church, George had treated him like his own flesh and blood. And Lucas...
"Ohh—so you were staring at Mary Jane, huh?"
Lucas teased, patting Peter on the shoulder.
"Buddy, take my advice—forget about Mary Jane. She's not right for you. You can't...
Time flew by, and Lucas was now eighteen years old.
When he first realized he had transmigrated into the body of a kid, it took him a long time to come to terms with it.
He ha...
New York—hailed as the world's center of economics, finance, and commerce. It was the largest city in the United States, and also one of the most densely populated.
Yet, behind its glitz a...
Seeing that old Gary was about to launch into another long rant, Henry quickly cut him off.
“Hey,” he said, “why don’t you come over for dinner tonight? I’ve got to clean t...
Clack!
Bruce Wayne’s expression froze instantly, a faint twitch tugging at the corner of his mouth.
This man—he actually knew his true identity?
He knew that he was Bat...
“You think you understand me that well?”
Alex glanced sidelong at Catwoman, his lips curving into a faint, teasing smile.
“N–No!”
Catwoman immediately stiffen...
