"Did you forget that you're not wearing your mask today?"
Upon hearing this, Gwen was about to retort that she wasn't from this World and therefore had no identity.
However, in the next moment, Gwen immediately remembered that Luca had previously mentioned knowing her counterpart in this parallel World.
At this moment, her mind buzzed, and she blurted out, "Oh no!"
She didn't need to think much about this; it was obvious.
If these clearly ill-intentioned individuals were to trace the Gwen of this World based on her appearance, they might directly resort to lethal force.
For a moment, Gwen was completely torn between 'killing to silence' and 'maintaining her bottom line'.
If Gwen had exposed her identity in her original World, she would rather die than compromise her bottom line.
But now, if the innocent Gwen and even her family were endangered because of her, Gwen couldn't bear to think about it anymore.
However, she didn't dare to think further, but Luca, on the other hand, insisted on twisting the knife, continuing in an indifferent tone, "Actually, maybe there's no need to silence them."
Hearing this, Gwen immediately felt a glimmer of hope.
Only…
"I've seen it. The leader of these people earlier had a bionic eye that was connected to a network. Maybe your appearance has already been exposed to the mastermind through that bionic eye."
Well, at this point, Gwen was completely desperate.
Given her current physical condition and being in this unfamiliar parallel World, she couldn't even risk her life to protect 'Gwen's family'.
However, while Luca was striking at Gwen, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
Gwen said there were people guarding the exit! So, since the message had already been sent out, aren't these people…!!!
Just as Luca was thinking this, as expected, faint lights and dense footsteps could be heard again from a distance.
Just by hearing footsteps that could travel so far, it was certain that the incoming group was not small.
There was no need to guess now; the message must have already been sent out.
"Damn it, you didn't say there were so many people outside! Let's go!"
Saying that, Luca directly grabbed Gwen, who was still dazed, and quickly rushed back to where they came from.
At this point, Gwen, who had barely recovered, quietly explained, "When I looked earlier, there weren't many people outside."
"Then they were waiting for reinforcements! Why are you still talking nonsense? Run yourself!"
After speaking, Luca directly shook off Gwen's hand, reactivated the Tuxedo's function to enhance his physical abilities, and pushed off the ground.
He shot out like a leopard, leaving Gwen behind.
After running back to the original battle site, this time Luca didn't pretend to be weak or modest.
Without a word, he directly hoisted the spider mech cockpit, which was over a meter in diameter, and even used his free hand to clamp two mech limbs.
However, it was this slight delay that allowed Gwen, who was a step slower, to catch up.
Seeing that Luca, even at this point, hadn't forgotten to bring this crucial item for her return to her original World, she immediately whispered, "Let me take this. It will affect your speed."
Who knew, before she could even reach for the spider mech Luca was carrying, Luca, who had already adjusted his posture, sprinted out without looking back, while grumbling and lecturing, "Mind your own business. Damn it, why aren't you running for your life? What are you dawdling for?"
Looking at Luca's back, fleeing with the items as if in a disaster, Gwen, whose mind was already a bit muddled, could only grit her teeth and quickly followed.
Thankfully, perhaps Luca and Gwen's 'physical abilities' indeed surpassed ordinary people, or perhaps the pursuers were worried about an ambush and did not pursue at full speed.
By the time the two had sprinted to the sewer exit, there was no trace of the pursuers behind them.
Kicking open the large iron door of the sewer maintenance tunnel, Luca, carrying a spherical cockpit, first confirmed that there were still no other people outside, then rushed towards where Samira had parked the car.
Before he even reached the car, seeing Samira in the car look back, Luca directly shouted, "It's me! Transform!"
He uttered two simple words, and at the same time, he saw Gwen following behind him.
Samira, who had initially been somewhat wary, immediately recalled the strange new watch her young master had invented that she had seen earlier.
Although she couldn't immediately figure out what was happening, seeing Luca's anxious and fleeing appearance, she immediately realized that the situation had changed.
She promptly opened the door, got out of the car, and opened the rear trunk door.
Since they knew they were coming to retrieve the spider mech beforehand, they had prepared a large vehicle.
While helping Luca stuff the spider mech into the car trunk, Samira quickly inquired, "Young master, what happened?"
After haphazardly stuffing the items into the trunk, Luca rotated the dial of his Transformation Watch and quickly said, "Get in the car first!"
Saying this, Luca also looked back at Gwen, who was already a bit out of breath.
"You too, get in the car first. I'll figure out what to do about your exposed identity!"
As he spoke, his voice was somewhat distorted due to the transformation, but Gwen still heard the content clearly.
Only this time, she also watched Luca 'magically transform' right before her eyes.
However, even though Gwen was a bit dazed at this moment, she knew that this wasn't the priority right now.
She immediately chose to obey Luca's instructions and quickly got into the car.
As for Luca, out of caution, he still chose not to revert to his original appearance.
He simply adjusted the appearance displayed on the watch to that of the young man named Bernard, which was 'given' when the watch was first activated.
However, at this moment, Luca also realized that the trouble might not only be on Gwen's side.
Although he hadn't exposed his appearance this time, he hadn't considered encountering danger before coming, so Samira hadn't thought about hiding their tracks while driving.
Even if the U.S. has a very low surveillance coverage in cities to ensure everyone's right to commit crimes freely, HYDRA's capabilities might still allow them to trace him. He had to find a way to extricate himself from this situation as soon as possible.
After getting in the car, Luca directly ordered, "Samira, drive. Go around in deserted places more, don't rush home yet!"
After speaking, Luca didn't continue to pay attention to Samira, who quickly started the car.
Instead, he turned to look at Gwen in the back seat and said with a serious expression, "Now, listen to me. Do you mind exposing your identity as an otherworldly visitor to others?!"
"Alright, you don't mind!"
