*****
Three people suddenly appeared in a dusty room.
It was Daisy, Crystal, and a heavily panting Bacon.
The shock on Crystal's face had not yet faded, but seeing the unfamiliar environment and realizing the pursuers had vanished, she instantly understood what had happened. A look of pleasant surprise washed over her face as she looked at Bacon beside her, revealing a smile of survival.
"Bacon, nice work!"
She couldn't help but praise him.
Being able to rush out and save them in that kind of situation revealed a person's true character.
More importantly, Bacon had chosen to trust them, which was even more rare and valuable.
"When this is all over, I will definitely give you a reward," Crystal said excitedly.
Because of her close relationship with Daisy, she knew Bacon and the others, so she had some understanding of Bacon's abilities.
Coordinate Teleportation.
He could teleport using spatial coordinates set in advance. Although there were limitations to the coordinates he could set, it was sufficient for their needs.
Clearly, this was a coordinate Bacon had set beforehand.
Hearing Crystal's words, Bacon squeezed out a smile. However, when he looked at Daisy and saw that she was unharmed, his smile filled with genuine relief and gratification.
The reason he could risk everything was naturally for Daisy.
He didn't want to see the woman he loved get hurt. Although it was just his one-sided unrequited love, as long as he saw that Daisy was safe, he was satisfied.
Daisy suddenly turned her head, and Bacon shifted his gaze away in a panic.
But Daisy evidently didn't notice Bacon's little thoughts.
After scanning the room, she said with a serious expression, "Bacon, quick! Get us out of here!"
"What's wrong? We've already left Attilan," Bacon asked, confused.
Daisy spoke quickly, "Lincoln knows about this place. They'll chase us here."
Bacon was startled.
"Send us to a place that only you know," Daisy said urgently.
"A place... that only I know?"
Bacon's expression changed slightly.
That place was his own secret. If Daisy found out about it...
A look of struggle flashed in his eyes.
Just then, the space in front of them began to distort.
"Quick! They're coming!" Daisy's face changed, and she urged him hurriedly.
Bacon gritted his teeth and placed his hands on their shoulders.
Forget it! Even if Daisy gets angry at me when she sees it, or even if she ignores me from now on, as long as I can save her, I accept it!
As the thought formed in his mind, and just as the distorted space returned to normal revealing several figures appearing out of thin air, the three of them flashed away and vanished.
"There's no one here. Do you have any other locations?"
Medusa looked at Lincoln beside her.
Lincoln frowned.
At that moment, Black Bolt silently pointed at the ground.
On the dusty floor, there was a chaotic trail of footprints.
"They were here, and then they left. Where would they go?" Medusa murmured, looking at Lincoln.
Lincoln shook his head. "This is the most likely place for them to appear. If they aren't here, they shouldn't be anywhere else."
"So, that means cute little Crystal has run away?"
Medusa's tone was affectionate, as if Crystal wasn't her enemy but still her intimate younger sister.
In fact, apart from her absolute loyalty to Hive, her personality and memories hadn't changed at all.
"What do we do next?" Lincoln asked in confusion.
Black Bolt patted Lockjaw's head, and the group vanished.
Although it was a pity that Crystal had escaped and couldn't join them, it wouldn't affect the current situation.
Returning now to prepare for their master Hive's plan was what they needed to do.
On the other side, Daisy and the other two appeared in an unfamiliar room.
The instant they appeared, Bacon hurriedly hid in a far corner.
"How did you... Fuck! What is this?!"
When Daisy saw the things before her eyes, her face instantly turned beet red, and she couldn't help but curse aloud.
Crystal, looking at the surroundings, also slowly opened her mouth wide in shock.
"Daisy, Daisy, so many Daisys, it's all Daisy..."
Crystal murmured, then suddenly shrieked, "Could it be that Bacon likes Daisy? It must be! Daisy! Bacon, he... uh..."
Seeing Daisy's murderous glare, Crystal hurriedly shut her mouth.
Daisy looked at the room full of photos—photos capturing her every expression and demeanor—and took a deep breath before looking at Bacon in the corner.
Bacon remained silent, his face pale, looking like a sinner awaiting judgment.
Daisy took a deep breath and asked Bacon, "Do you have nothing to say?"
Bacon shook his head. No longer hiding his greed for Daisy, his eyes filled with deep affection as he said, "My heart is all here."
Hearing this, Crystal's eyes widened.
This is too romantic.
Bacon loved Daisy deeply, but because Daisy already had a boyfriend, he could only protect her silently. He even unhesitatingly risked his life to accompany her when she encountered danger...
A rather melodramatic TV drama had already played out in Crystal's brain.
Daisy glared fiercely at Crystal, then strode over to Bacon and kicked him in the shin. While Bacon grimaced in pain and looked at a loss, Daisy said seriously, "Don't even think about it. It's impossible between us."
A trace of joy flashed in Bacon's eyes.
Daisy had spoken to him; she hadn't blasted him with a shockwave or just walked away.
He hurriedly said, "I understand! But that doesn't affect my liking you."
"Ahhh! Shut up!"
Daisy looked at Bacon, driven crazy by a mix of embarrassment and anger.
Bacon gave an ingratiating smile and hurriedly shut his mouth.
A few seconds later, Crystal, who had enjoyed watching the gossip, coughed lightly and asked Daisy, "What do we do next?"
Daisy quickly calmed down and pondered, "I can roughly guess what Maximus wants to do."
Crystal blinked and asked in confusion, "Is it not for the throne?"
"No, that is merely the beginning of his plan."
Daisy spoke gloomily. Remembering what Maximus had said at the time and the expression he wore, she involuntarily shivered.
"He wants this planet. He wants this world. Attilan will become his tool to conquer this world. This will become a disaster."
Hearing this, Crystal's expression also turned ugly. She asked anxiously, "Then what should we do?"
Daisy mused, "If Maximus really intends to do what I think he does, those people won't sit by and watch. We can ask them for help!"
"Those people?"
"The superheroes!"
"Superheroes?" Crystal murmured, then immediately said, "Then let's act quickly!"
She took a step, then suddenly coughed lowly twice.
"What's wrong?" Daisy looked at Crystal in confusion.
"Nothing, I just suddenly felt a bit of discomfort in my throat," Crystal said, then suddenly added, "It feels like breathing here... it smells really bad..."
Bacon said with an embarrassed expression, "Don't talk nonsense. I clean this place very thoroughly. Even when I'm in Attilan, I come here on time to clean and to look at... uh..."
Under Daisy's sharp, cold gaze, Bacon shut his mouth.
"Let's go. Let's leave here first."
Daisy said faintly, walking toward the door.
Facing those photos, her entire body felt uncomfortable.
The weather was clear, and the golden morning sunlight made Gwen squint slightly.
Pa!
A sunhat was placed on her head, accompanied by a gentle shake of her head.
Gwen grinned, looking back at the mischievously smiling Mike, and said helplessly, "Dad, you're going to shake me silly doing that."
"Silly is good. If no one wants you, I can support you for a lifetime."
Mike spoke with mock seriousness. He raised his own fist to look at it, then looked at Gwen's forehead, seemingly hesitating on whether to actually do it.
Gwen shrank her neck and jumped back. "I don't want that! Besides, even if I was silly, someone would still want me! Hmph!"
"Narcissist."
Mike smiled and pinched Gwen's nose.
Slap!
Raven slapped Mike's hand away and rubbed Gwen's nose for her.
"Don't keep pinching the child's nose. You'll pinch it out of shape."
"Impossible! You're exaggerating!"
Laughing, Mike reached out his hand again.
But two cold glares pierced into him.
Mike's hand slid smoothly to land on Gwen's shoulder, patting it gently twice. "Stay safe on the road."
"Don't worry!"
Gwen clenched her fist. "If I don't go looking for trouble with others, and others try to trouble me, I won't even leave them a window to escape!"
"Hmm? What did you say?"
Mike and Raven looked at Gwen with cold eyes.
Gwen gave a sheepish smile. "Don't worry, don't worry. I won't look for trouble with anyone. I am a lady, after all."
"Hmph!"
"That's more like it!"
The two nodded in satisfaction.
"Hmm?"
Gwen looked through the open door into the house and whispered to Mike, "Dad, where is Liam?"
"He's not allowed to go, so he went back to his room to sulk alone."
Mike shook his head with a smile.
Raven laughed. "Don't worry, his anger will disappear quickly."
Gwen nodded, pulling her suitcase as she walked toward the bus stop. She waved to Mike and Raven. "Bye! Tell little Liam I'll buy him a gift!"
"Got it!"
Mike nodded, then couldn't help but add, "Don't forget our gifts!"
Raven gave Mike a disgruntled look but couldn't help laughing.
Gwen shouted back loudly, "I know!"
The couple watched Gwen leave, only returning to the house after she had boarded the vehicle.
Gwen sat on the bus in a cheerful mood.
"Hey! Luke!"
Just as Gwen sat down, she saw Luke running onto the bus.
Luke walked over to Gwen. "Why didn't you call me?"
Gwen chuckled. "I was dodging little Liam, so I came out in a hurry!"
"Little Liam? What happened? Did he want to go too?"
"Yeah!"
Gwen said helplessly, "Before I left, the little guy ran to his room in a huff. He didn't even come to see me off."
"It's fine. Just bring him a gift when you go back and coax him a bit."
"I hope so."
Gwen looked out the window with a smile, beginning to look forward to the new journey.
Gwen and Luke arrived at their meeting point. After waiting for a moment, an RV stopped in front of them.
It was the RV they used for missions.
This RV was spacious enough, and with just a few changes, it met their needs for this trip.
The door opened, and Harry walked down. He turned back to the driver who had gotten off and said, "You can go back!"
"Yes, Young Master."
The driver nodded and turned to leave.
"We meet again, my dear friends!" Harry said with an exaggerated expression. He spread his arms toward Gwen, gave her a hug, then punched Luke lightly on the chest. Winking, he teased, "Yo, your chest has gotten bigger again. It's bigger than even Gwen's."
As soon as the words fell, Gwen and Luke's faces went dark simultaneously, and then they proceeded to beat Harry up.
Of course, they didn't use force, otherwise Harry's physique wouldn't have been able to handle it.
While the three were goofing around, Peter and Mary Jane arrived. The five of them boarded the RV in high spirits. After activating their camouflage projection, with Gwen driving, the group quickly departed.
Along the way, the group appeared extremely excited.
This wasn't their first trip, but it was their first road trip where they were driving themselves.
What none of them noticed was that Gwen's suitcase suddenly moved.
They played loud, pumping music and sang loudly in the car.
But by noon, their good mood came to an end.
Because they discovered that, apart from Mary Jane, the other four couldn't cook at all!
And Mary Jane could only make some simple things.
Gwen parked the car on the side of the road and came to the living area of the RV. Seeing the four of them staring at her, the corner of Gwen's mouth twitched. "What are those expressions?"
"Hope!"
The four said in unison. Luke couldn't help but ask, "Gwen, Uncle Mike cooks such delicious food, didn't you learn anything?"
Gwen raised an eyebrow. "Do instant noodles count?"
Harry muttered, "Instant noodles... give a monkey a cup of water and a bowl of noodles, and even it could make that."
"What did you say?"
"I said you're awesome! Hehe!"
Harry hurriedly changed his tune.
Peter took out his phone to check. "There's still a ways to go before the next location on our travel plan. By the time we get there, it should be night."
The group fell silent for a moment.
Mary Jane sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll cook. Although I can only make simple things, it will be enough to fill our stomachs."
"Wow! Mary! You are simply the best!"
Gwen hugged Mary Jane and asked in a whisper, "Do you know how to make braised pork?"
When they left, they had stocked the RV with plenty of ingredients.
Mary Jane rolled her eyes. "You're asking too much of me, Fat Hulk!"
Gwen: "..."
"Hahaha!"
The group laughed out loud.
Harry couldn't help but say, "Sigh, when I look for a wife in the future, I have to find one who can cook. At least I won't go hungry."
Hearing this, Mary Jane's eyes lit up. "Wait, I'll go make it right now."
After a flurry of activity, the group finally filled their stomachs and continued on the road.
Guu guu...
A strange sound came from Gwen's suitcase.
"What was that sound?"
Peter asked in confusion.
"There wasn't any sound. Luke probably farted," Harry said grinning.
Luke: "I think you're tired of living!"
Instantly, another round of roughhousing ensued.
Several hours later, they finally arrived at the small town on their travel itinerary.
Just as they were preparing to rest a bit before going into town to find something to eat, a scream rang out from Gwen's room.
