Martha was very worried because she needed to travel at night, so she sent several bodyguards to follow her.

Michael always felt that these bodyguards were a bit redundant, but in order to make Martha feel at ease, he could only let them follow him.

Arriving at the door of George's house, Michael knocked on the door honestly.

After all, he doesn't have the talent to climb into someone's window after hearing their address.

And it's still more than 20 floors up. I found Gwen's window accurately. If the director hadn't arranged it this way, then it would have been Peter who was following and monitoring Gwen.

"Crack~"

The person who opened the door was a woman who looked to be in her 40s.

Foreigners are particularly likely to look older, especially those who have given birth to three children.

"Mrs. Helen, I am Gwen's classmate. My name is Michael Morbius."

"It's Michael, welcome."

Helen took Michael into the room. Although his family's income was average, they still lived in a mansion because of George.

"Please accept this little thought."

Helen looked at the gift box and said, "Isn't it too expensive?"

"No, I got it directly from the company. It doesn't cost anything."

"Is Osborne also involved in the toy field?"

"Not at all. I used to make this for myself using amateur materials, but now I don't play with it much anymore when I grow up. I heard that Gwen has two younger brothers, so I wanted to give it to them."

"What's the point of that?"

Mrs. Helen was so happy that she couldn't find such a polite young man.

These gifts were specially selected by Michael, and they were said to come from anywhere, mainly to make the gifts appear less expensive.

After all, this is my first home visit, so I can't be too abrupt.

Upon entering the house, the two boys were watching TV on the sofa, while George was reading the newspaper.

"George, the guests are here."

George put down the newspaper in his hand, stood up and took the enthusiastic Michael's hand.

"Michael, I can call you that."

"of course can."

Judging from George's appearance, he must have already investigated himself.

"I didn't expect you to be an outstanding doctor at such a young age. It's really shocking."

"Thank you, I'm just a stupid bird who flew first. If I didn't have this disease, I would be like Gwen, growing up slowly under the care of my parents."

"I believe that with your intelligence, you will be able to heal yourself."

"Yes, I already have an idea."

George's expression softened a lot. After all, he didn't want his daughter to marry a disabled person.

"You're going to college soon. Can anyone write you a letter of recommendation?"

Michael:…

Who are you looking down on? I am a recognized doctor of biochemistry.

"Don't worry, I can write it to myself if needed."

"Oh."

Only then did George realize that Michael was already a well-known figure in the biochemistry and medical fields, and he would be welcomed by any school.

"..."

Soon, George saw that Michael was a little uncomfortable, so he said: "Gwen is doing homework in her room. You can play with her. I believe you young people have more to talk about."

Finally able to leave, Michael couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Gwen heard the door open and turned around to see it was Michael.

"Hey Michael, you don't look good."

"Your father is just like a talkative old woman, and he is also very perceptive. He always asks questions that hit the point."

Michael wiped the sweat from his face and looked at a police sergeant for a long time. It was too difficult for him.

"Of course, he is the Sheriff of New York."

Gwen smiled.

“Are you ready for which school to go to?”

Gwen smiled and said, "I haven't thought about it, where are you going?"

"Not going anywhere, just staying in New York."

"Oh."

Gwen thought for a while and said: "I originally wanted to go abroad, but I gave up."

"why?"

"Because I'm Spider-Man."

Michael glanced at her but said nothing.

The United States is not a country worth believing in. Everything here is terrible. The evening is also the time when all kinds of crimes occur. Women don't even dare to go out alone on the streets at night.

Such a country is ruled by the rich and has no faith at all. Michael really doesn't know how to love it and is not willing to pay anything for it.

He misses China a little bit.

"Heroes, being a hero requires sacrifice."

Michael seemed to be sighing, but also seemed to be nostalgic.

"If you had superpowers, would you help other people?"

Gwen looked at Michael, and she felt that Michael understood her.

"No, I'm very selfish."

She was surprised to hear Michael's answer. In her opinion, Michael should be a very warm-hearted person. After all, Michael had saved so many seriously ill people, given them new hope, and also encouraged her.

Keisha: Maybe you're not selfish, you just don't feel like you belong here.

Michael silently said in his heart, thank you.

Michael looked at Gwen and said, "Can you do me a favor?"

"What are you busy with?"

"I need someone's genes."

"Gene?"

Gwen was a little confused, what would she do with such a thing?Is it scientific research?

"Yes, X gene."

Gwen looked confused, why would she need someone else's X gene?

After listening to Michael explain what the X gene is, Gwen probably understood it.

So he agreed.

The X gene of mutants does not refer to the sex chromosomes XY, but to an unknown gene.

It is said that the existence of mutants is a conspiracy of the ancient gods. Of course, Michael does not know the specific situation.

But there is one person whose unknown gene is very ordinary and seems to be of no use, but it is a necessity for Michael.

That is Warren Kenneth. His family is a Fortune [-] company in the world. He has a pair of angel wings. In addition, he only has super endurance, self-healing power, high altitude adaptability and raptor vision.

After being transformed by Apocalypse, his wings became metal and could be launched.

It seems quite useless, but it is very likely to be part of the angel's genes, and it is also what Michael needs most.

"The meal is ready, you two come out to eat."

When I came to the table, it was lemon seabass as expected.

This thing almost made Peter doubt his life. He held the knife and fork but didn't know how to start.

He whispered to Gwen: "Your family's taste is very special."

Gwen rolled her eyes and told him to forget it if he didn't want to eat it.

Michael smiled, picked up a knife and skinned and deboned the bass, completely separating the meat, skin and bones.

Seeing that he didn't eat, Mrs. Helen asked with concern: "Is it not to your liking?"

Michael replied: "No, I just like to break it down first and then eat it in one go. It's more enjoyable that way."

In fact, Michael felt that the outside scales of the bass were not scraped clean, so he wanted to completely pull off the skin first.

Moreover, the dry-fried fish is loose and may fall apart if you cut it while inserting it, so divide it into pieces in advance.

George looked at Michael's technique and said: "If you are asked to do forensic medicine, you must be very professional."

"If you need it, I can also make a temporary guest appearance. After all, I am also a PhD in biochemistry and an expert in the medical field."

George nodded.

Among the cases he has handled, the most professional ones are this group of high-level intellectuals. They can complete the art of killing and leave very few clues. Even if they catch the tail, it is difficult to convict.

"Hopefully it won't be used."
