Food saved the world.
Issou looked at the gun aimed at her.
He even blinked his eyes at the smoking muzzle.
In the next second, the gun and the man's hand were covered by the white silk.
At the same time, Issou heard a lively voice. "Hey, I think I'll go first.
Man, it's very rude to point a gun at a girl like that.
You doing this,
It's a disgrace to us men, okay? … "
The Spider-man, who appeared with spider silk, had already taken care of the man in front of Issou. He tied him up with spider silk and hung him directly on the shelf.
"Hey,
Are you okay? "The Spider-man squatted at another empty cashier.
He turned his head to look at the victim who had just been pointed at by the man.
"I'm fine." Issou shook her head. Although she had experienced a close robbery, she was more shocked by Old Stan and the cashier auntie. Even if the man pointed a gun at him, he was taken care of by the Spider-man in the blink of an eye.
Eh.
Speaking of the Spider-man.
Issou looked up at him. Compared to most superheroes, he was obviously a little childish. Although the tight red and blue uniform covered his face, it could not hide his lively and childish aura.
Seeing such a cute Spider-man,
Issou smiled at him. "Thank you,
Little Spider. "
"Hey,
It's the Spider-man, not Little Spider. "
Like other teenagers who always wanted others to see them as a man and not a boy, the Spider-man was no exception. After all, Little Spider sounded too soft and did not match his temperament at all.
But after saying that, he felt that it was rude to speak to the girl in such a tone, so he weakly added, "Please."
Seeing this, Issou could not hold back her laughter. "Okay, it's my fault."
It was as if she was trying to pacify an angry cat. "Spider-man."
Hearing Issou call out his codename with a smile in her pleasant voice, Spider-man's face heated up under his mask.
Just then, the sound of a police siren came from outside. He jumped up from the cashier and saluted the others. "Alright, everyone, I have to go first. See you later!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Spider-man did a backflip and jumped off the cashier counter. He walked to the door in a few steps and left before the police arrived.

Although there was an unforeseen event midway, the matter was quickly resolved. Even if the police had to make a statement after arriving, it didn't take too much time.
Issou: "…"
How come she had a feeling that the police officer who was taking their statements was so quick because he had heard about Old Stan's feats from other people?
After all, when the old man was in a hurry, he was even willing to beat up criminals.
In the car, Issou praised Old Stan's feats, but the old man said calmly, "After all, we are people who experienced the Great War of New York."
Hearing this, Issou could not help but laugh. Well, she had forgotten that New York was no longer the New York of the past, and the current New Yorkers were no longer the New Yorkers of the past.
Because there were no traffic jams, Issou and the others arrived early. After getting out of the car, Issou carried two big bags of things and walked inside with Old Stan. She said, "By the way, I made a pot of braised sirloin this morning. I'll send some over to you later, okay?"
Hearing this, Old Stan's eyes suddenly lit up because he had already tasted Issou's cooking. It was so delicious that he wanted to swallow his tongue, but …
When the old man turned his head, he saw Issou's mischievous smile, so he, who was about to agree, suddenly showed a pained expression. "You're purposely giving me a hard time, aren't you?"
"Don't say that." Issou raised an eyebrow at Old Stan. It was inexplicably cute for such a well-behaved girl to show such a mischievous expression. She said, "I swear, I just want to take a look at your first love."
Old Stan: "…"
This girl was so innocent.
Before Old Stan could make a decision, they ran into Gray's family, who had just returned home, so the topic ended there.
Mrs. Gray, who took the initiative to walk over, greeted Issou and the others warmly. Seeing that they were all carrying things, she asked with a smile, "Did you just come back from the supermarket?"
"Yes, we ran into Issou at the supermarket, so we came back together."
When Old Stan spoke, Issou smiled and nodded at Gray and her husband. Although they were Old Stan's neighbors, she had a good relationship with Gray and her husband.
Because on the first day they moved in, they helped her a lot, and Issou personally made some Chinese desserts for them as a thank you gift. After a few exchanges, the relationship between the two parties became closer.
After greeting Gray and her husband, Issou noticed the red-haired girl standing next to them, but when she turned around, she saw the girl looking at her with a surprised expression.
Issou: "…???"
Did they know each other?
Yes, they did.
It was just a one-sided acquaintance.
The red-haired girl, who accidentally read Issou's mind, answered her silently in her heart. Although with the help of Professor X, she was no longer forced to listen to the noisy thoughts of the people around her, she still could not control her power as freely as Professor X.
Therefore, if she was not careful, her power would be automatically released, just like now.
When the red-haired girl retracted her power, she thought to herself. She did not expect that the girl her parents were talking about was the Asian girl that Professor X suspected to be a mutant.
What a coincidence.
Mrs. Gray did not know what her daughter was thinking, but when she saw her daughter looking at Issou, she smiled and introduced her, "Jean, this is Issou that we just mentioned. He doesn't look older than you at all, right?"
"Haha." Mr. Gray, who was captivated by Issou's food, laughed. "Amazing Chinese girl, amazing Chinese food."
"It is indeed amazing." Mrs. Gray smiled and agreed with her husband. Then, she introduced Issou, "Issou, this is the daughter of the Gray family, Jean Grey."
"Hello, Issou."
Jean Grey looked at Issou. The black-haired girl in front of her was not only beautiful, but her big black eyes were also attractive. They were clear and lively, and her long and thick eyelashes fluttered gently when she blinked, like a butterfly flapping its wings.
Looking at Yi Su, Jean knew why Mr. and Mrs. Grey liked her so much. It was because there really were people like her in the world. Just by looking at them, it was hard for people to be stingy with their good feelings.
Jean felt that she was no exception. She said to Issou, "Nice to meet you."
The seemingly cold red-haired girl did not hesitate to express her friendliness to Issou. The faint smile on her lips made her look even more lively.
Seeing this, the Gray couple looked at each other and found the same surprise and joy in each other's eyes.
After all, there were only the two of them today.
However, Reese did not expect his partner to tell him that Willis had left at the same time when he was helping a woman carry her child back.
[Vinci, where is Willis now?] Reese whispered to his partner through the earpiece. He scanned the surroundings several times but still could not find Willis.
[Willis is obviously very familiar with this mall. I checked all the cameras here and couldn't find him.] Vinci answered Reese's question while searching through the many cameras. [And there's bad news. Dan is the only one left at the cashier, and Issou just went to the bathroom.]
Reese asked: [Is she safe?]
[The cameras there are broken. The furthest we can see is that she left in the direction of the bathroom.] Vinci said, [Due to the grudge they had at the supermarket, I think it's best if you go there as soon as possible.]
If Willis was still in the surveillance, then even if the CCTV in the direction Issou went to the bathroom was broken, it would not be a big problem.
But the problem now was...
The CCTV in the direction Issou went to the bathroom was broken, and Willis was not in the surveillance.
Reese responded and headed to the bathroom according to the directions given by Vinci. After entering the area without surveillance, he quickly looked around. [In this area, other than the bathroom, there is a direct path to the entrance, the evacuation stairs, and an entrance to the warehouse.]
[Very good.] Vinci's fingers flew across the keyboard as he said, [Listen, John, if Willis really did make a move on Issou, then the bathroom can be ruled out.]
[If he wants to kidnap Issou, it's impossible for him to go through the entrance openly. The most likely way is to go through the evacuation stairs to the underground parking lot. But there is no sign of Willis at the entrance or the underground parking lot, so he's still in the mall.]
[Okay.] Reese said to his partner through the headset. [For Willis, he's very familiar with the layout of the warehouse. If he wants to make a move, it's very likely that he'll choose the warehouse.]
As Lithur spoke, he quickly walked towards the direction of the warehouse. But when he turned a corner, he stopped in his tracks.
Reese turned around and saw a dropped boot in the corridor leading to the evacuation stairs. He frowned and went forward to pick up the lonely boot. [If I remember correctly, Issou is wearing a pair of black Martin boots today?]
[Erm … That's right.] Vinci turned on the previous surveillance and deliberately rewound to look at Issou's boots. [So?]
[So she's a smart girl.] Reese got up and walked in the direction of the evacuation stairs. When he passed by a storeroom, he tried to push the door open, but he found that the door was locked from the inside.
[I think I've found them.] As Reese spoke, he retreated to a suitable distance and kicked the door open.

Just a second ago, Issou thought she was doomed. But in the next second, the violent but (to her) heavenly sound of the door breaking gave her a glimmer of hope.
With her back facing the door, Issou could not see what happened with her own eyes. But she could clearly hear Willis cursing and screaming in pain. Then, she felt that he had no choice but to let go of her hair.
Issou, who lost her grip, staggered a few steps forward. After she steadied herself with the wall, she subconsciously turned around and saw Willis, who was almost two meters tall, being beaten to the ground by a man in a suit.
"Phew."
After taking care of Willis, Reese stood up straight and tidied his clothes. He exhaled softly and then walked towards Issou. "You …"
But before he could get close, he saw that Izu, whose big black eyes were filled with tears, was like a frightened deer encountering any movement in the wind and grass. She was subconsciously afraid.
“OK。” Reese stopped and looked at Issou's pale face. He subconsciously lowered his voice. "Don't worry, I don't mean any harm."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Issou, who was leaning against the wall, suddenly go weak in the knees. He subconsciously stepped in front of her and grabbed her elbow to support her. He lowered his head and looked at Issou with his gray-blue eyes. "Are you okay?"
Issou: "…"
She should be okay.
Because she could still feel her knees go weak from his voice.
"Thank you." Issou took a deep breath and looked at Reese in front of her.
