Chapter 85: Wanda In Black Silk Stockings, Ch 41.1
Hode looked at Gwen hanging on him and then gazed up at Wanda's fierce expression.
"No, sis, you need to get down!"
He felt as if Wanda could tear him apart at any moment.
Especially with that look—like a ravenous wolf seeing its prey snatched away.
But feeling the weight of Gwen against him, he found it difficult to let go.
Moreover, with her pressed against him, he was surprised to find it oddly pleasant.
At that moment, he finally understood what pulse-quickening excitement meant.
"Ahem…"
After a long pause, Hode awkwardly patted Gwen's thigh, saying, "Alright, you can let go now, Ms. Ghost Spider."
He had to admit, that little pat made him feel her youthful energy rebound slightly.
It nearly tempted him to pull out a weapon like Goku would.
He truly didn't dare to be cheeky—who knew how furious Wanda would get?
"Oh, I'm sorry! I got a bit too excited earlier!"
Gwen hurriedly released her grip, and as she came down, she was unexpectedly grazed by Goku's weapon.
She hadn't expected someone with such skills would carry a gun.
This made her think carefully.
After all, someone with that kind of power should be more cautious.
But she had been too excited earlier and momentarily forgot that it was Gwen, not Ghost Spider, she was familiar with.
"Alright, Tony will take care of the situation soon."
Wanda suppressed her anger and stepped closer to Hode, speaking in a low voice.
Moreover, she keenly sensed the strange emotional waves coming from Gwen towards Hode.
Though Hode hadn't initiated the hug, jealousy filled her heart.
Even with that single statement, Hode could feel her jealousy brewing.
"Witch, those reporters over there seem to be here to interview you!"
Hode suddenly noticed the journalists in the distance and quickly changed the subject.
He didn't want Wanda to get more tangled up in this situation.
He was well aware that Wanda could vaguely sense the turmoil in his heart.
"But this time it wasn't me…"
Wanda paused, realizing she had just been a spectator in the whole ordeal.
If she accepted an interview now, it wouldn't look appropriate at all.
"I don't like being in the limelight, and the Avengers need to improve their reputation."
Hode shook his head. Although the last incident had improved the public's perception somewhat, it was still limited.
If he let Wanda take the credit this time, it would be good for her.
Besides, he had already received his system rewards.
Facing troublesome reporters was best left to Wanda.
"Then…"
Seeing the sincere expression on Hode's face, Wanda ultimately nodded.
Hode was right; the Avengers did need to secure positive news to maintain their visibility.
"Then I'll go with Ghost Spider first!"
Hode turned his gaze to Gwen, a barely noticeable smile flickering at the corner of his mouth.
Wanda could only nod reluctantly, staying behind to deal with the reporters.
As the two of them left, a swarm of reporters immediately rushed over.
"Scarlet Witch, did you handle that monster all by yourself?!"
"You're a true hero of New York; is it true that monster was over ten meters tall?!"
"You didn't back down when facing such a terrifying creature; was it for the sake of the public?"
"Were you seriously injured in this incident?!"
