Chapter 1198 Can You Play Games with Me?

Arriving with the fire department was Eddie Brock, a hired reporter for the Daily Bugle.

"Annon?" Eddie was surprised to see Heather surrounded by people.

He is a very capable reporter for the Daily Bugle, and even a mean guy like John Jonah Jameson, Jr., the editor-in-chief of the Daily Bugle, has to admit Eddie's professionalism. And Heather is a talented young writer discovered by JJJJ, and can be regarded as the golden signboard of the Daily Bugle's stable traffic.

After a few visits, Eddie and Heather met several times with the introduction of JJJJ. Their relationship was not very good nor bad, but at least they were acquaintances.

After briefly chatting with Heather to clarify the situation, Eddie immediately called JJJJ, and JJJJ also thought this was a great headline.

The Spider-girl in tights was running around the city all day, and even Eddie had a hard time taking a photo of her, let alone finding any dirt on her, which led to JJJJ being forced to sit back and watch the Spider-girl become more and more rampant. The Daily Bugle needed a shot in the arm to put a stop to the arrogance of these so-called superheroes.

So, the front-page headline of the next day's Daily Bugle was: "Mortal Heroes!"

The cover photo was a carefully crafted work by Eddie. In the picture, Heather looked a little tired and dusty, and seemed a little at a loss when surrounded by people.

The article was written by JJJJ himself. When the child was trapped in the fire, it was not the spider that flew over the city all day long who saved her, but an ordinary, skinny student. Those clowns in tights who are keen on lynching should really learn what it means to be a real human being and what a true hymn of courage is.

Heather became famous, in a way he had never expected.

"Heather! I admire you so much! You actually shook off more than 20 people trying to stop you, bravely rushed into the blazing sea of ​​fire, and rescued more than a dozen children without any harm!"

Peter's spit was almost spraying on Heather's face, and the latter had to use her textbook to block it:
"That's all JJJJ exaggerating. I only saved a little girl, and no one deliberately tried to stop me."

"Oh my god, that's amazing. If it were me, I would probably end up burning to death in there instead of saving the person."

Peter was so excited that he was breathing heavily. He liked to read superhero comics, especially those kind and friendly street heroes who protected the citizens. He felt from the bottom of his heart that such street heroes were real heroes.

Doesn’t Heather’s actions represent the image and behavior of a hero?
Not only Peter, many students also turned their attention to Heather. High school students like to focus their attention on the topic of people, and in terms of topicality, Heather is indeed the SUPER STAR of Midtown High School today.

Gwen hid in the crowd, glancing at Heather from time to time.

Betty Brant, a beautiful black-haired girl next to her, looked at Heather who was talking to Peter in the distance and said with a smile, "To be honest, if he wasn't Asian, I would actually be interested in dating him."

"Oh Betty, my bassist, you're crossing the line a little bit." The red-haired beauty Mary Jane teased, "So what if he's Asian? You're just using this excuse because Anon's face doesn't suit your taste."

Gloria Grant, who was in the same band as Mary Jane, Betty, and Gwen, looked at Heather in the distance: "Although he's not good-looking, he's pretty cool, isn't he? I mean, not every senior in high school has the courage to rush into a fire to save a little girl. What do you think, Gwen?"

"...It's pretty cool." Gwen pursed her lips and nodded slightly.

"The Daily Bugle even said that Ghost Spider was hiding nearby and didn't dare to rescue people, and watched Anon bravely walk into the sea of ​​fire alone. This editor-in-chief Jameson is talking nonsense!"

Mary Jane is a huge fan of Ghost Spider and can't stand people making fun of her idol.

Gwen thought to herself that this wasn't the first time JJJJ disliked Ghost Spider, but this time Gwen really couldn't refute it because it was a fact that she didn't arrive in time to save the little girl.

Because of this, Gwen's attitude towards Heather has also changed a little. At least she is no longer the "potato and carrot" image of other boys in her eyes, but a more three-dimensional image of a classmate that she will pay attention to unconsciously.

Of course, some people don't like to see others in the spotlight.

After school, Peter and Heather walked in the streets and alleys. This was a very convenient shortcut to go home and it happened to lead to the neighborhood where Peter and Heather lived, so it was a must-go route for the two of them.

In the alley, Peter was walking and talking happily with Heather, when he was suddenly hit from behind and fell forward heavily into a puddle on the ground.

"Your worm friend finally succeeded in being a clown after all his efforts. Why are you so excited, Parker?"

Ned was holding a basketball in his hand, and a group of lackeys followed him, laughing and pointing at Peter who was lying on the ground.

"Violence is nothing more than a cheap way to cover up your inner emptiness and low self-esteem, Ned Leeds."

Heather stood in front of Peter and looked at Ned with a cold expression.

The smile on Ned's face gradually faded. He walked up to Heather and looked at him fiercely: "You are a little too arrogant, transfer student."

"Teach him a lesson, Ned!" "Beat him!" "Put his head in a puddle!"

Those lackeys kept shouting and were very aggressive.

It seemed that there was no way to escape the beating today. Heather looked at Ned, thinking quickly in her heart how to get away.

At this moment, a female voice suddenly came from behind everyone:
"Can you play a game with me?"

I saw a short figure appear behind everyone.

This is a young girl with long light green hair tied into two ponytails, a pretty face, red and gold contact lenses, and a loose coat that reveals a pair of chubby short legs. She is holding a plastic bag in her hand, and it seems that she has just bought groceries for her mother from the supermarket and convenience store and is preparing to go home.

"Go away, girl," Ned said impatiently.

"Wait a minute, Ned. Maybe this lady is lost and we can take her home?" Two lackeys licked their lips and walked towards the girl.

Heather rushed over without hesitation, grabbed them, turned around and shouted at the girl: "Get out! It's dangerous here... Ugh!"

He received a heavy punch to the abdomen and was pinned to the ground by the scum student, while the other one ran towards the girl to prevent her from escaping.

Peter yelled and tried to stop them, but was held down by the others.

"Jason, Kyle, what are you doing? Stop right now!"

Ned's forehead was bulging with veins. He felt that things were getting out of control. He knew what kind of people these guys were, but he didn't expect them to be so bold. Did they get high before?
"Ned, we're just having fun, don't spoil the fun," one of them said with a smile.

Click.

A strange yet familiar voice suddenly rang out in the alley. It wasn't loud, but it made everyone freeze.

The scum who tried to catch the girl was frozen, with a gleaming silver pistol pressed against his forehead. The girl, whom they regarded as a prey, was now standing on tiptoe, holding a gun she had taken out of a plastic bag, tilting her head and looking at everyone with innocent eyes.

“Since everyone is so enthusiastic, the game will officially begin.

First round of the game, guess if I have bullets in my gun? "
