Chapter 032 Next

More than ten minutes later, the scene shifted to a private room in a coffee shop.

Wang Bo fully explained his intentions and purpose to Cindy Moon.

After quietly listening to Wang Bo's words, the young lady felt both shocked and absurd, perhaps also a bit incredulous and wary.

But she never stormed off; instead, she listened to everything Wang Bo had to say.

After finishing, Wang Bo asked, "What is your choice now?"

"I, I... I think I should consider it." Cindy Moon didn't want to give Wang Bo an answer right then, because she felt this whole thing was too ridiculous.

So she had to think it over.

"Alright." Wang Bo didn't pressure her; he adhered to the principle of voluntary participation when recruiting people.

If the other party was willing, Wang Bo would give them the spider serum.

If they were unwilling, Wang Bo wouldn't force them.

After all, making an enemy of the White Witch was indeed a very dangerous matter, so Wang Bo had to ensure the other party was fully committed voluntarily. If he forced them, what if they ended up siding with the White Witch?

Moreover, Wang Bo was neither a domineering CEO nor some S.H.I.E.L.D. bald guy.

Everyone has the right to choose their own life, and Wang Bo was merely offering them a new option.

That's all.

"Thank you." Cindy Moon nodded and left the coffee shop's private room, her mind heavy with thoughts, clearly pondering Wang Bo's words.

As for whether she would join, to be honest, Wang Bo himself wasn't sure.

Fortunately, Wang Bo had many backup options.

The next target was Carlie Cooper!

In the world of The Amazing Spider-Man, Carlie Cooper was a forensic pathologist, or coroner. She met Peter Parker through Harry Osborn, and after dating for a while, they found their relationship constantly affected by various factors, eventually breaking up.

Wang Bo chose her not because she was Spider-Man's girlfriend; in fact, in this world, she didn't even know Spider-Man.

The reason Wang Bo chose her was simple: Carlie's father was also a police officer, and like Miles's father, he had died in the recent New York gang war.

She had ample reason to become Spider-Man and avenge her father.

So when Wang Bo found Carlie Cooper, she agreed without hesitation, injected the spider serum, and became a member of the Spider Team.

Thus far, Wang Bo had recruited three Spider-Men: Gwen, Miles, and Carlie.

The remaining one, Cindy Moon, was still pending.

But even so, Wang Bo didn't stop; he quickly found the next candidate.

Jessica Jones!

According to the setting, Jessica Jones, originally Jessica Campbell, was a high school classmate of Peter Parker. On a trip to Disneyland, she and her brother were arguing in the back seat, distracting their father, who was driving, causing their car to collide directly with a military truck loaded with radioactive chemicals. The whole family was exposed to radiation and died as a result.

Only Jessica survived. She was taken to the hospital and remained in a coma for several months. When she woke up, she discovered she had gained the ability to fly and superhuman strength. Later, Jessica was adopted by the Jones family and changed her name to Jessica Jones.

As an adult, she opened her own "Alias Investigations" detective agency, met the black hero Luke Cage, and the two fell in love, got married, and later joined superhero teams like the Defenders and the Avengers.

Moreover, back in high school, this Jessica Jones had a secret crush on Spider-Man, which made her husband quite jealous.

But in this world, Jessica Jones was older than Peter Parker; the two were not classmates at all. Still, Wang Bo chose her, not because she was a superpowered individual.

Because in this world, Jessica Jones was just an ordinary person.

The reason Wang Bo chose her was that she had a strong sense of justice.

In this world, Jessica Jones was already an adult. Having practiced martial arts since childhood, she had developed considerable skills. She still ran a detective agency, using her years of training to become an excellent private investigator.

She often took on jobs to help the poor.

It was precisely this chivalrous spirit and sense of justice that led Wang Bo to choose her.

…

Late at night, around midnight.

Jessica Jones, having just finished her work, returned to her detective agency, sat down in a soft chair, and massaged her shoulders.

In the past few days, New York had been in chaos. A group of unknown assailants had attacked Kingpin's forces and driven them back step by step. To Jessica Jones, this was simply unbelievable.

She knew exactly who Kingpin was.

This guy was a behemoth in New York, and indeed the entire United States, with intricate networks of power and complex personal connections. Every time Jessica Jones thought of him, she felt a sense of suffocation.

Because many of her clients had significant ties to Kingpin's forces.

So whenever she investigated a case and found it involved Kingpin, she always hesitated about whether to continue.

Because she knew very well that compared to Kingpin, she was like an ant facing an elephant.

He could crush her with a single snort.

And she would die a miserable death.

But if she didn't investigate further, facing her clients' pleading eyes, Jessica would feel distressed, as if her conscience was being tortured beyond words.

So at such times, Jessica would take a more cautious approach, giving her clients a satisfactory answer.

But more often than not, she was powerless.

Thus, for Jessica, Kingpin was like a mountain, an utterly immovable mountain.

Yet no one expected that this immovable mountain could also be driven back, losing not only money, territory, and influence, but also people.

The once arrogant Kingpin could be so humiliated.

But this was not a good thing.

Because it brought unprecedented chaos to New York. During the day, it was manageable, but at night, various conflicts intensified, even dragging most of New York's gangs into the fray.

All kinds of shady characters took the opportunity to commit evil.

This was evident from the sudden increase in her workload.

Jessica's detective agency hadn't been this busy in a long time. Clients came in waves, keeping her on her feet. Just now, she had finally cracked a missing persons case, and now she had a little time to snatch a moment of leisure.

So she decided to rough it for the night at her agency.

After all, when the day started, there would be new work.
