Chapter 74 Parallel Universe
Kingpin carefully considered Matt's words.
Indeed, if Gwen Stacy really didn't want to live and was determined to kill him, then what Matt said was very likely to happen. Between a brief period of freedom and his own life, Kingpin knew which was more important. Moreover, just as Matt said, some of his subordinates were indeed not very honest and should be cleaned up. Being in Prison was a good way to avoid assassination.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Matt," Kingpin nodded.
"Thank you for your trust," Matt bowed and respectfully left the Cell.
However, what Kingpin didn't know was that he had already fallen into Yang Le's Trap.
Yang Le's Plan was to have Matt keep Kingpin in Prison, cut off his Information Source, and then gradually erode his Influence.
In this way, while Kingpin was still in Prison, his Influence had already been almost taken over by Matt. After all, Matt was originally the Second-in-command, so taking over was naturally not much pressure.
Matt also did as he promised Kingpin, eliminating many of his subordinates. However, contrary to Kingpin's expectations, those who were cleaned up were all loyal ones.
In other words, the current Kingpin could be said to be completely isolated and helpless. In Prison, Matt would still treat him well, but as soon as he got out of Prison, he would find that he had nothing left.
It's just that he was still kept in the dark until now, because Kingpin lived in a single Cell and was also assigned several Guards who looked like Bodyguards but were actually used to monitor Kingpin, watching him in 24-hour shifts.
So Kingpin could only receive the fake Message fabricated by Matt. Matt would also arrange a few Assassinations from time to time. In this way, Kingpin stayed in Prison for a year under Matt's deception.
However, it is estimated that this Scam is coming to an end soon, not because Kingpin is becoming increasingly impatient, but because he is indeed useless.
The reason why Yang Le kept him alive was just to see Kingpin's expression after he got out of Prison and found that he had nothing left.
As for whether Kingpin would make a comeback, Yang Le was not worried at all. Those big shots would not allow the existence of two Underworld Emperors.
Now Matt is the powerful side, and no one will allow the penniless Kingpin to rise again.
Yang Le looked at this pleasing Report and stretched, feeling that his fatigue had disappeared.
Turning on the car stereo and playing a piece of soothing Jazz Music, the upper-class Yang Le decided to sleep for a while, full of energy to deal with Gwen who held Resentment towards him.
---Divider Line---
"Warning! Warning!"
Yang Le, who was fast asleep, was awakened by a burst of urgent Alarm Sound, so frightened that he jumped up from his seat.
"Thump!"
"Hiss~"
Yang Le, curled up in the seat, covered his Head and gasped for breath. He had forgotten that he was sitting in the Time Wheel now, and when he got up, he just hit the Cockpit cover, and it hurt so much that he was about to shed tears.
"Hiss~ What the hell happened?" Yang Le rubbed his Head, and controlled the Time Wheel to connect to the Host of the Base, wanting to see what exactly had happened.
Connecting to the Host, Yang Le found that it was Snowball who had sent him a Request for Help Message, which meant that Gwen might have encountered some danger.
Without hesitation, Yang Le rode the Time Wheel and headed to the location where the Signal was sent from.
At lightning speed, Yang Le quickly arrived at his destination, an Alley.
This was the Inevitable Path for Gwen to walk to and from school, a shortcut she had discovered.
Driving the Time Wheel into the Alley, relying on the Scanning Device of the Time Wheel, Yang Le quickly found the source of the Signal.
It was a small Splinter of Upgrade, probably left here by Snowball.
The Splinter also found him, and before Yang Le could open the Door of the Cockpit, the Splinter drilled into the Time Wheel, fused into the Time Wheel, and played a Video Recording.
The perspective of the Video Recording was on Gwen's Shoulder, which was normal, after all, the source of the Video Recording was Snowball.
In the Video Recording, Gwen was initially chatting with Snowball, and everything was normal.
Suddenly, the color tone in the Video Recording changed, the perspective rotated, and he saw a Hole that seemed to be composed of many Color Blocks, appearing out of thin air behind Gwen.
Gwen and Snowball were very alert, and reacted almost instantly when the abnormality appeared.
The Video Recording first went black, and then the perspective changed again, becoming like the first-person perspective in a Game, probably because Snowball had turned into a Battle Suit attached to Gwen's Physical Body.
The Hole seemed to have a great suction force. Gwen shot out a Web and stuck it to the wall of the Alley, but still could not resist, and was still pulled in. Then the Video Recording stopped abruptly.
After watching the Video Recording, in addition to worrying about Gwen's safety, Yang Le also had an unspeakable sense of familiarity. He should have seen this Plot before.
After racking his brains, he got the answer.
"Parallel Universe?"
Although he had almost forgotten the Plot inside, that Hole was too recognizable, basically he could remember it at a glance.
"Then does that mean this is not Universe 65, but Universe 65B? No wonder some places are different from the Comics."
The question that had troubled Yang Le for a long time finally had an answer, but these were not what Yang Le needed to worry about now.
If this is really the Plot of the Parallel Universe, then it is estimated that the black kid who was heavily promoted in his Universe is going to undermine him. Thinking of this, Yang Le's eyes became sharp.
"Time Wheel, search for target Gwen Stacy."
"Received, searching now."
Yang Le didn't wait too long. After all, a Time-Space Tunnel had been opened here not long ago. Just like footprints in the snow, Gwen's Position had become traceable.
"Target located."
"Open Time-Space Tunnel, go to target."
Under Yang Le's Order, the Time Wheel began to transform, from an alien and peculiar Motorcycle into a small spaceship.
"Time Travel is about to begin, please fasten your Seatbelt, countdown 3…"
Some Electric Current began to appear around the spaceship, and a lot of Garbage on the ground was also swept up.
"2…" Space began to distort, and the spaceship became increasingly blurred.
"1."
Accompanied by a "whoosh" sound, the Time Wheel disappeared from the spot, and the swept-up Garbage also fell one after another, as if nothing had happened here originally.
Who would have thought that in an ordinary Alley, Time Travel would have happened twice in one day?
The scene in the Time-Space Tunnel can only be described as bizarre and colorful, like a painter who splashed all the colors on a Canvas. The Paints, either entangled, or fused, or independent, made Yang Le's Eyes a little sore for a while.
This was not the first time Yang Le had entered the Time-Space Tunnel, but the last time the tunnel was not friendly to him, so he did not experience the whole process awake. If it weren't for the Protection of the Little Broken Watch, he would probably be dead.
Yang Le couldn't help but feel puzzled about this. In the Movies, Spider-Man and others all rely on their Physical Body to travel through Time and Space, how come they are okay? Could it be that this Time-Space Tunnel also discriminates?
"Forget it, let Grey Matter think about it." Yang Le rubbed his temples, feeling like he was going to grow brains.
