Marvel's Last Angel

Chapter 43 The Smart Old Lady

It was another good day. Aunt May was not in the bookstore today. She said she would go to do one with Peter.

Xi is in a good mood, just got a huge sum of money from Tony Stark, the exact amount is not clear yet.So I'm going to go to the bank today to have a look, and take some out to subsidize the bookstore's expenses.

Close the door casually, turn the sign hanging on the door upside down, with the closed side facing outwards.Then he stood on the side of the road, took a taxi, and went straight to the bank.

This is not a small bank, and it can be ranked first in New York.Just look at its architectural scale and exterior decoration.Of course, the most important thing is an angel sculpture on the building.Apparently it goes well with her.

"Why is this place so familiar..." Xi was a little puzzled.He turned his head and looked around, but found nothing worth noting.

"Aunt Mei, Peter...?" Xi was very surprised.She saw Aunt May and Peter not far away.Suddenly, she had a flash of inspiration, and she remembered why this bank was a little familiar.

"Pity?" Aunt Mei and Peter looked up when they heard the voice.

Xi walked over to Aunt Mei and took a look at the business she had handled. "Aunt Mei, are you taking out a mortgage? What happened?"

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's just a trivial matter. You don't need to worry about it." Aunt Mei calmly picked up the voucher on the table and put it in her carry-on bag.She doesn't want to bother.

"Be careful..." Peter reminded suddenly, and at the same time kicked Aunt May's chair away, using his strength to back away.

Xi also pulled the back of Aunt Mei's chair to avoid the metal iron gate flying over.

The iron gate slammed into the lobby of the bank, and the crowd was in chaos, screaming and looking for places to hide.

"Unfortunately, help me take care of Aunt May." Peter saw Dr. Octavius ​​standing by the vault, and now he looks like an octopus. , turned around and shouted to Xi.Without hesitating to answer, he turned around and left quickly.

"Peter?" Aunt Mei exclaimed, not knowing why.

"Aunt Mei, don't go there, it's very dangerous." Xi knew what Peter was going to do.Pulling Aunt May, who was about to find Peter, hid under the table.

Peter dressed up as Spider-Man and appeared in the bank lobby, fighting with Doctor Octopus.He tried to fight back while dodging the gold coins that were thrown over him.The two fought hard.

"Oh, no, it's not good." Peter suddenly found that his spider silk had failed, and he didn't spray out the expected spider silk. "Bang..." He was hit by the gold coin thrown over and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

"You pissed me off." Dr. Octavius ​​grabbed Spider-Man with his robotic arm.

"I have a knack for it."

"It won't work anymore." Octavius ​​clamped Peter's head with the remaining two mechanical arms, ready to squeeze him.

Xi has been observing the situation here. At this moment, she picked up a gold coin on the ground and threw it at Dr. Octavius.Broke each other's glasses.

"what...!"

Because of Xi's interference, Dr. Octavius ​​(hereafter called Dr. Octopus) has no time to control the mechanical arm.Peter took the opportunity to shoot out spider silk to pull two tables and beat each other out of the bank.

Peter dodged the car door thrown in by the opponent, but was smashed by the second one.

"Aunt Mei..." Xi cried out in surprise.

Doctor Octopus caught Aunt May in the crowd without Spider-Man reacting.Climb up the wall of the bank to a higher place.

"Hand her to me." Peter chased after Dr. Octopus and gestured.

"Of course." Although he said yes, he let go of the mechanical tentacles and threw Aunt Mei down. "Hand slipped..."

Peter hastily shot out the spider web to stick to the falling Aunt May, and with his strength, pulled her up.

"Be careful" Xi pulled away the pedestrians who were looking up, and the wall that the two of them knocked down in the battle kept falling down.

"Help." Aunt Mei cried out while hanging on the angel sculpture. "help me."

"I'll be right there." Peter avoided Dr. Octopus's entanglement, shot a ball of spider silk to knock him down, turned around and crawled towards Aunt May. "hold onto."

Doctor Octopus catches up and grabs Peter.The two continued to wrestle together.

"Oh, thank you. Fortunately, there is a platform." Aunt Mei looked at her feet and breathed a sigh of relief. "ah!"

Doctor Octopus threw Peter away and grabbed Aunt May who was temporarily safe.

"Aunt Mei..." Peter from the opposite building looked at Dr. Octopus who was holding Aunt Mei.

"Last time you ruined my good deed, I want you to watch this old woman die with guilt." Doctor Octopus looked at Spider-Man who was about to jump over with spider silk, "Come on." The mechanical tentacles hiding behind stretched out. He drew out his sharp blade, intending to give Peter a fatal blow in mid-air.

"Shameless" Aunt Mei saw the sharp blade protruding from the mechanical tentacles, and she was very disdainful.Raise the umbrella and hit Dr. Octopus, who is facing away from her.

"Boom", Dr. Octopus was in pain and threw Aunt Mei down.

"what!"

Suddenly, the falling Aunt Mei stopped in the air.

"Don't be afraid." A hoarse voice interrupted Aunt Mei's exclamation.She found herself rescued by a man in white robe.

Xi saved Aunt Mei in a critical moment, and looked up at the two people who were attracting attention.She nodded to Peter and glanced at Doctor Octopus.Then he took Aunt Mei and flew to a safe place in the distance.

"We're safe." Xi put Aunt Mei on the ground.

"Thank you, Xi, thanks to you for saving me." Aunt Mei thanked Xi.

Hearing this sentence, he froze slightly. "Aunt Mei, how do you know it's me." She changed her normal voice and asked suspiciously.

"I take care of you every day, how can you not be familiar with my little angel! I am very familiar with your size." Aunt Mei gestured at Xi's height.

"Height? This can't be a proof to confirm my identity." Xi was a little dissatisfied with this answer.

"Of course, height is only one aspect. I am too familiar with the aura that emanates from your body, this peaceful aura. What's more, you have a special fragrance on your body." Aunt Mei explained.

"Smell? Why don't I know." Xi sniffed her arm in doubt.She was a little baffled.

"Boom" Peter, who became Spider-Man, chased after him. "We beat him."

"What did you say, 'we'?" Aunt Mei asked in surprise.

"Uh, ah! It's nothing. Thank you for your help, man in white." Spider-Man realized that he had said something wrong, changed the subject hastily, and thanked Xi. "I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first." He ran away as if fleeing.

"This Spider-Man is really strange." Aunt May was puzzled by Peter's current behavior.

"Hmm...it's a bit." Xi hid in her robe, trying to hold back a smile.

"I have to go, Aunt Mei." Xie glanced at the people surrounding him. "see you later."

"see you later."

Unfortunately, he quickly opened the portal and disappeared in place.

"Is that the one from two years ago?"

People are talking about the appearance of Spiderman and Xi, and some people think of Xi's outfit.

"It's her, the same dress as two years ago."

"I thought she would never show up again, but I didn't expect to see her again two years later."

. . . . .

"Aunt Mei, what did you go to the bank to mortgage?" Xi and Aunt Mei sat on the sofa in the bookstore.

"Oh." Aunt Mei sighed lightly. "After Ben passed away, I couldn't repay the previous debts and needed to mortgage the house. This was left by Ben, and I lived there with him for many years."

"Sorry, Aunt Mei, I shouldn't have mentioned this." Xi apologized.

"It's okay, it's been two years since Ben died, and next month will be his second anniversary." Aunt Mei looked a little depressed.

"Hey, Aunt Mei, you can stay with me." Xi remembered her original residence, and now she basically lives in a bookstore. "It's vacant now, you can move in, and it's not far from yours."

"No, how is this possible?" Aunt Mei refused.

"Aunt Mei, just promise me, and take care of it for me by the way." Xi persuaded. "Anyway, you are going to rent a house, not to mention, you can still see if the house left by Uncle Ben is right."

"This...well, I've been bothering you all this time, and I really don't know how to thank you."

"You're welcome, I told you, you are my angel!" Xixi laughed.

"Okay, okay, we have to open now, my little boss."
