Chapter 72 Venomous Snake
Ignoring the resentful Gwen, Yang Le, the protagonist being discussed, was currently soaking in the "Bathtub", completing his Work.
Transformed into Grey Matter, Yang Le was standing at the Operation Console, Controling the Mechanical arm to carry out Inventions.
The eight Mechanical arms, under Grey Matter's Control, each performed their respective duties, proceeding with the Work in an orderly manner.
"Finally completed." Yang Le took off the Goggles he wore on his Eyes, pressed the Button to open the Workshop's Security door, and walked in, observing his latest creation up close.
This was a two-wheeled Machine similar to a Motorcycle, with a strange shape, precisely the Time Wheel from Ben 10.
Transforming back into a Human, as Yang Le approached, the Cockpit automatically opened, revealing the Driver's seat inside.
Stepping into the Cockpit, Yang Le leaned back comfortably in the comfortable Seat. He could now consider himself to be among those who own a car.
The Cockpit slowly closed. The hatch, originally opaque, displayed the outside environment completely, as if there were no obstruction.
While Yang Le was still immersed in his Invention, the Mobile phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated, indicating that he had a Message.
Yang Le took out his Mobile phone and found that it was Snowball who had sent him a Message. Yang Le felt puzzled. Why would Snowball send him a Message?
Opening the Message and seeing the content, Yang Le's body stiffened. Seeing Snowball's Message reminded him that today was Gwen's first day of the new school year. He had originally arranged to take Gwen to School, but now, he had completely forgotten about it.
But it didn't matter. As long as he drove his newly Invented, incredibly cool Time Wheel to pick her up in the evening, surely, seeing his good attitude in admitting his mistake, she would forgive him.
"Would she?" Yang Le hesitated.
Indeed, it would be better to prepare a Gift. A new Drum Set would be good. He could make one later using materials from the Laboratory.
Yang Le pondered countermeasures, his hands not idle. He started operating on the Control panel in the middle of the Steering wheel. He decided to watch the morning News first to calm down.
With his operation, the News was projected onto the Hatch in front of him. By the way, the entire Hatch could be used for projection.
The News was still as bland as water, mostly some boring Business.
Until Yang Le saw a piece of News that reported on Matt Murdock. Unlike the previous Rogue lawyer, Matt could now be said to have turned over a new leaf.
In just one year, he had completed the transformation from Rogue to Champion of Justice in the eyes of the Public.
The cause of the matter was Kingpin's imprisonment. According to the Police, Matt was actually a person with lofty ideals, an Undercover agent who infiltrated Kingpin's inner circle. The reason he had helped Kingpin do so many bad things before was just to endure humiliation and bear a heavy burden in order to Collect Criminal evidence.
After he Collected enough Evidence, he handed over all the Clue to George Stacy, and Police Captain George, fearless of Death, arrested Kingpin with Thunderous means.
Of course, Gwen and Yang Le certainly didn't believe these Lies. Gwen had also asked George, but George didn't tell the Truth and used the same Lies to fob off Gwen.
Yang Le knew that Kingpin was probably using Gwen's Safety as a threat, which was why George would obediently listen. Otherwise, with George's temper, he probably wouldn't bow his head even in Death.
Yang Le told Gwen his guess. Gwen was also helpless after hearing it. She wasn't ready to let people around her see her extraordinary side. Moreover, since things had already happened, she could only suffer this Silent suffering.
It wasn't that Yang Le hadn't tried to infiltrate the Prison and eliminate Kingpin, but before he could try, Matt had taken the initiative to find him.
"Long time no see, Mr. Yang Le." Matt, leaning on his Blind man's cane, still looked so full of confidence.
"Is there Business? Champion of Justice?" Yang Le teased. He knew that since Matt had found him, it meant they knew about his special nature.
"Won't you invite me in to sit down? After all, some things are better said in a more private place." Matt ignored the teasing, still impeccably polite.
"No need." Yang Le refused Matt's Suggestion. "Since you've come to find me, you must have made complete preparations. I dare say that in this building right now, apart from the two of us, probably only your Ninja are here, right?"
"Actually, it's just the two of us." Matt corrected.
"It seems Mr. Yang Le doesn't like me. Very well, then let's talk here."
Yang Le raised an eyebrow, waiting for Matt's next words.
"Mister Kingpin hopes to turn Enemies into Friends with you. After all, there isn't really any irreconcilable conflict between us, is there?"
"No conflict refers to your previous attack?" Yang Le looked at Matt playfully.
"That attack was definitely not Trouble for you, was it?" Matt complimented.
"Who knows? Maybe I'm a petty person. Just because I can no longer eat the Big Mac Set Meal from that place, in my opinion, we can be considered mortal Enemies."
"You're joking." Matt chuckled, knowing that Yang Le was deliberately making things difficult for him. "There are no eternal Enemies in the World, are there? Moreover, Mister Kingpin will give you a reason you can't refuse."
"I'm all ears." Yang Le leaned against the Door frame, appearing somewhat cynical.
"Gwen Stacy." As soon as Matt opened his mouth, Yang Le's expression changed.
"I will kill all of you." Yang Le didn't wait for Matt to finish speaking and said directly.
"Don't be impatient, Mr. Yang Le." Matt soothed Yang Le's emotions.
"Based on the Strength you have shown, I have no doubt that you can kill me, but I hope you can think more about Miss Gwen."
Yang Le's Face was terrifyingly cold, but unfortunately, Matt was blind and couldn't see it.
Seeing that Yang Le didn't speak, Matt knew that this Plan was indeed feasible, and he continued.
"We know you don't care about your True identity being exposed, but what about Miss Gwen? If she is exposed, how will this Society view her? Even different Skin color receives Discrimination, let alone Miss Gwen who is beyond Ordinary person?"
Matt continued to bewitch in this way, just like the Venomous Snake that tempted Adam and Eve.
"Think carefully. What kind of Perspective will they use to look at Miss Gwen? Passerby, Teacher, Classmate, even original Friends. Sometimes Murder doesn't require a Weapon, respected Mr. Yang Le. Public opinion is enough. As far as I know, Miss Gwen is very fond of going down a Dead End, isn't she?"
Yang Le said coldly, "Then I will make those people shut their mouths."
"Yes, powerful Mr. Yang Le, you can make everyone shut their mouths." Matt's smile at the corner of his mouth could no longer be suppressed.
"Then how will Miss Gwen view you?"
The Venomous Snake spat out deadly Venom at its tightly coiled prey.
