As expected of the lavish Kingpin, his āpool roomā actually covered one-third of SāNeil Hall. But the entire pool room only consisted of nine pool tables.
Countless lights illuminated the pool room brightly. At this moment, Heather and Mary Jane were respectively tied to a chair with their back against the wall. Besides the ladies, there were ten burly men in the pool room. All of them had their hand on the gun on their waist with high alertness.
While ten people might sound like a lot, in the spacious pool room, they seemed insignificant. It was unknown where the remaining 200-ish people went. The entire pool room seemed rather desolate. The pool room consisted of a total of four entrances and each entrance was guarded by two people. As for the remaining two, they were keeping their eyes on Heather and Mary Jane.
Heather was lowering her head with a fearful expression while Mary Jane was raising her head high and cursing thunderously.
At this point in time, it just so happened that Nordril had just left the pool room, heading to the tea house for Kingpin. Soon, it was followed by Peter and Matt appearing in the vent above the pool room.
Confirming Heather and Mary Janeās location was easy with Mattās hearing as it played a decisive role. Since Mary Jane was releasing vulgar words and curses like a machine gun, it was akin to a lighthouse leading a lost ship.
āDaredevil, if possible, donāt let MJ and Heather know who we are.ā
Matt nodded showing his agreement.
Silently, Peter pried open the ventās cover with his finger and exited in a flash. With the webs, he landed on the steel beam on the ceiling. The entire process was done swiftly yet quietly. For some reason, every floor of the building was built so high and required countless steel beams to support the ceiling. This provided a suitable landing chance for Peter.
Matt without his echolocation was equivalent to being a blind man. He believed he couldnāt do it as silently as Peter did. Therefore, he remained on standby in the vent.
As the cursing Mary Jane was sitting on the chair, her position was low. To fire her curses at her targets, she could only raise her head. Coupled with her keen observation, she perceived Peter who was above her. However, what she saw was only a man in a spidey suit and didnāt recognize it was Peter.
Nonetheless, this led Mary Jane to vomit curses even more vigorously as in her mind, there was only one man with a spidey suit. It was Spider-man.
Spider-man was Mary Janeās idol and even the idol of all law-abiding citizens of New York City. As a journalist, Mary Janeās ultimate goal was to unearth Spider-manās identity. Even when she was captured, she fantasized that Spider-man would come to rescue her. That way, she finally had the chance to interact with Spider-man.
Unbeknownst to her, Spider-man truly came!
Mary Jane was smart and fearless. The moment she saw Spider-man, she understood she needed to do something to attract the kidnappersā attention, allowing Spider-man to take action.
Furthermore, she believed she could take the opportunity to befriend Spider-man. Hence, she curses even more vigorously, āYou this bunch of sons of a b*tch b*stard! What kind of man kidnaps a woman?! Isnāt your mom a woman too?! Capturing two women, how is it different from capturing your mom?! Whatās the point of ambushing me?! Release me if you have the balls! I can fight all ten of youā¦ Ah!!!ā
Followed by the curses, Mary Jane was frantically struggling and occasionally accompanied by a booming scream, clearly depicting her violence.
Perhaps Mary Janeās profanities this time were too obscene or too provocative, all of the guards were glaring at her with an anger-filled gaze. Three of the guards even walked toward Mary Jane as if going to teach her a lesson.
On the ceiling, Peter heard Mary Janeās screams and felt his heart being ruthlessly gripped. Placing his gaze on Mary Jane, he saw a bright red palm mark on both of her cheeks. His eyes went bloodshot as he believed it was those ten burly men who did it.
Silently shooting four strings of webs from both of his hands, all four of them simultaneously wrapped the heads of four of the men closest to him. With a powerful yank from Peter, four crispy crackling noises echoed. The four men with broken necks were lifted by Peter to the ceiling and hung on the steel beam.
Meanwhile, the other six menās attention was still attracted by Mary Jane and didnāt realize four of their brothers had kicked the bucket. Once again, Peter repeated the same trick, and another four men were hung up.
At this instant, the two who were guarding Mary Jane and Heather finally noticed some abnormalities. Turning around, they saw Spider-man and shouted in surprise as they prepared to pull out their gun. However, it was already too late since both of their fates were predetermined.
Peter shot out the webs and encased the two men. Then, leaping down the steel beam and a tug from both of his hands, Peter shot toward the ground akin to a speeding bullet. In an instant, Peter descended to the ground from the five-meter-high ceiling.
Both of the men were rewarded with a kick by Peter. Their chest was deflated and sprawling on the ground. The webs successfully stop the blood from spurting out, but the white webs were swiftly dyed red by the blood and seeping out to the floor.
āAh!ā Seeing the gruesome state of the two men and the sudden appearance of Spider-man, Heather let out a scream in shock while trembling.
On the other hand, Mary Jane wasnāt afraid, but she was disgusted by the gruesome scene in front of her as she coughed a couple of times.
When Matt saw the battle ended, he was prepared to jump down from the vent.
āDaredevil, donāt come down. We still need to leave through the vent. If you come down, Iāll need to send you up again. We canāt stay here for too long, donāt cause unnecessary trouble.ā
Matt clenched his fist and helplessly returned back to the vent.
Peter hastily removed the ropes on Mary Jane and Heather. One by one, Mary Jane and Heather were sent to the vent with Peterās webs and successfully escaped.
The entire process was done quickly without wasting any additional seconds.
ā¦ā¦
Several moments later, Kingpin strode over while leading Nordril to the entrance of the pool room.
Kingpinās raised right foot suddenly froze on the spot and heavily stomped onto the ground. The doorsill was destroyed by his stomp and it felt like the building was trembling for an instant.
Nordril, who was following Kingpin, was unaware of what happened and hurriedly circled the humongous Kingpin. He finally had a clear view of the pool room.
āUmā¦ Thisā¦ Mr. Fisk, when I left just now, it didnāt look like this!ā Inside the pool room, eight cocoons were hung on the steel beam by spider webs and two men were lying in a pool of blood on the floor. A total of ten corpses, a horrifying scene.
Kingpin gritted his teeth and uttered two words, āSpider-man!ā
He was unaware which part of the kidnapped El Tech Companyās people pissed Peter off. Peter actually saved the person he kidnapped away.
āMr. Fisk, Leo Erwin should arrive here soon. Without the bargaining chips, what should we do?ā Nordril bit the bullet and asked this embarrassing question. He guessed, in the whole world, they were the only kidnappers who managed to fail successfully.
āHmph, I never intended to negotiate with them. I want to kill them!ā Kingpin roared and continued, āTell those on the bottom floor, standby on the third floor. Iāll be waiting for Erwin in the lobby.ā
