Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Gwen's Troubles! Need Help?

"Damn little bug! I'll kill you!!"

The enraged burly Inhumans let out a hysterical roar.

Gwen, who was 'walking the dog' in front, also looked back at the burly man chasing her like a madman.

"Big oaf, you can't catch me!"

Gwen responded with a smile.

But the burly Inhumans behind her didn't listen at all. In his fury, he grabbed a car parked by the roadside, and with a powerful exertion of both arms, he lifted the car, weighing over a ton, directly into the air.

"Die by this!"

He roared and threw the car at Gwen.

However, Gwen merely dodged with a graceful leap, easily avoiding the burly Inhumans's attack. She even had enough energy to shoot out streams of spider silk, entangling the incoming car, then yanked it over and threw it back at the burly Inhumans.

With a crash!

The burly Inhumans was instantly sent flying by the car, his body embedding directly into the wall behind him.

"Oh no! I broke something!"

Gwen gasped.

Although fighting crime was a good deed, if public facilities or personal property were damaged in the process, she would definitely be criticized by reporters afterward.

Gwen was still hoping to make a name for herself as Spider-Woman!

She was still young, and although she had told Rhodey earlier that she wasn't a Superhero.

Deep down, Gwen still longed to become a Superhero praised by countless people!

"But that car shouldn't count as me breaking it, right?"

"After all, that was thrown by this big oaf, I just threw it back, so it should be counted as this big oaf breaking it!"

Gwen found some self-comfort, though she wasn't sure if others would believe her.

While Gwen was daydreaming, the burly Inhumans who had just been smashed into the wall had now broken free from the car wreckage on him and crawled out of the ruins.

His clothes were already tattered, but there wasn't a single scratch on his skin!

His defense was truly strong!

Gwen was incredibly envious.

If she also had such strong defensive capabilities, she wouldn't have been injured yesterday.

If she hadn't been injured yesterday, she wouldn't be afraid to go head-to-head with him today, and would not have to just 'walk' him all over the streets.

After all, her arm injury hadn't healed yet, and it was still throbbing faintly.

Although the wound had scabbed over.

It was still a long way from being completely healed!

"How enviable!"

Gwen murmured to herself.

"Little bug, haven't you eaten?"

The burly Inhumans, who had crawled out of the ruins, tore off his upper clothing and then coldly spoke to Gwen, who was squatting on the lamppost.

"Big oaf, what did you grow up eating? Could it be rebar?"

Although Gwen was surprised by his defensive capabilities, she showed no mercy with her words.

She continued to mock him.

"You can only talk big, if you've got the guts, come down and fight me!"

The burly Inhumans roared.

But Gwen wasn't stupid; she was currently fighting with an injury.

There was no way she would use her weakness to go head-to-head with his strength.

"Nyah nyah nyah~! I'm not coming down, what are you going to do about it?"

The burly Inhumans raged in futility.

But he really couldn't do anything about Gwen; this little bug was too agile, and she was swinging around in mid-air. How could a berserker like him, with maxed-out strength and defense but terrible speed, fight her?

"Harland!"

Suddenly, the burly Inhumans standing in the middle of the road shouted, as if calling someone's name.

"Big oaf, are you calling me?"

A figure appeared on the street at an extremely fast speed.

After stopping, the newcomer said with a grin to the big man in front of him, "What? Planning to ask me for help?"

"Don't call me big oaf!" The big man roared in dissatisfaction, "Also, you're part of this mission, don't act like it has nothing to do with you!"

"Is that so? So you still remember the mission, I thought you had forgotten."

Harland chuckled, then with a flash, he disappeared with a series of afterimages, only to return a few seconds later.

Bang!

A heavy black duffel bag was thrown to the ground by him.

"It's so heavy, I'm not carrying this kind of thing next time."

Harland said unhappily.

"Hey~! Big oaf, since you still remember the mission, then keep a good eye on this thing, don't just throw it away on the road again!"

Boom!

With a loud crash, a fist slammed heavily onto the spot where Harland had just been standing.

"I said—"

"Don't call me big oaf again!"

The big man said angrily.

It was clear he was truly angry.

Hearing this, Harland, who had flashed to the side, shrugged and then said, "Alright, I won't call you big oaf. Then what about her calling you that?"

He pointed to Gwen on the lamppost.

"I'm going to kill her!"

The big man said angrily.

"Then go ahead and do it."

Harland said, crossing his arms.

..." The big man was silent for a few seconds, then said in a muffled voice, "I can't catch her, you help me!"

"Hey, hey, hey~!"

Gwen on the lamppost couldn't help but interject.

"You two have been chatting over there; if you keep this up, I'm leaving!"

Gwen said.

"You seem very nervous."

Harland looked at her, smiled, and said, "Is it because of me? I remember you, we met yesterday. Is your arm feeling better?"

Hearing this, Gwen felt the wound on her arm start to ache again.

"That small injury, I'm already fine!"

Gwen said stubbornly.

At a time like this, she couldn't show any fear.

"Is that so?"

Harland sneered.

"If you were really fine, why have you been dodging around from the beginning until now?"

He laughed heartily.

"Let me guess, it's because the injury on your arm hasn't healed at all, right?"

"Fighting with an injury, tsk tsk~! What a responsible Superhero!"

Harland mocked Gwen wantonly, but Gwen couldn't refute him.

Because her injury truly hadn't healed.

As for the other party calling her a responsible Superhero?

To be honest, Gwen had only coincidentally stumbled upon this street chase and thought she'd help out a little, which was why she came.

She didn't expect to be so unlucky as to not only encounter a superpowered criminal again.

But also to encounter the same superpowered criminal who injured her yesterday!

"Am I just too unlucky today?"

Gwen felt bitter inside.

At this moment, she wished someone could come and help her.

Speaking of which, where are the Avengers?

Their headquarters are in Free City, so why haven't any Avengers arrived yet?

Could it be that the Avengers are all on a business trip?

"Oh no, I can't handle this situation alone!"

Gwen thought, troubled.

And just then—

"Hey~! You, over there, dressed like a spider, do you need help?"
