Chapter 11 Suspicion and Confession

"The Daily Bugle reported in the morning that the "vehicle hanging incident" that occurred on the Manhattan Bridge last night has been successfully concluded."ɱ"

"In this incident, not only Spider-Man, who has been active in front of New York citizens recently, but also another Spider-Woman with a costume and abilities similar to Spider-Man."

"In addition, when Spider-Man, Spider-Woman and the police helicopter rescued the people trapped on the Manhattan Bridge, the Dark Night Magician, who had not appeared in the public eye for a long time, also appeared in this incident again, and once again used wonderful means to resolve the suspense incident that occurred this time, so that the lives and property of the people on the bridge were protected."

"In this regard, our reporter specially found one of the ordinary people who was rescued on the Manhattan Bridge at that time, let us listen to his thoughts and opinions."

"Thanks to the Dark Night Magician!"

luc ky dessert house, Gwen was lying on the table in the guest area, watching the familiar middle-aged man on the phone screen making an emotional speech into the microphone:

"If it weren't for the Dark Night Magician, it would be impossible to solve what happened last night with those two Spider Boys and Spider Girls who don't respect citizens' property! Especially here, I want to strongly accuse the Spider Girl! She actually knocked me out and pulled me out of my car. This is too barbaric!"

Gwen looked at the middle-aged man on the screen whose saliva was about to drown the microphone. The corners of her eyes twitched and she muttered softly: "I should have let this guy and his car stay together and die."

"Ha Hu——"

Just as Gwen was poking the middle-aged man's head on the phone screen angrily, Su Heng, yawning, walked out of the lounge in the dessert house.

"Hey, what a rare guest!" Su Heng rubbed his sleepy eyes and looked at Gwen lying on the table in the guest area in amazement: "It's only seven o'clock now. Don't you usually arrive at school at 8:50?"

"Could it be because someone finally succeeded in being a superhero yesterday and was so excited that he didn't sleep all night?"

"I'm so sorry, I slept so well last night." Gwen put away her phone and wrinkled her nose at Su Heng.

"Then why did you get up so early today?" Su Heng opened the water dispenser and took a cup of warm water. While drinking, he asked Gwen: "Do you want to help me prepare for the opening of the store?"

"Huh, wishful thinking." Gwen tilted her head.

"So?" Su Heng held the water cup, propped his elbows on the counter, and tilted his head in confusion.

"Because I have something to ask you." Gwen stood up, walked in front of Su Heng, and stared at him with her blue eyes: "That guy last night, was it you!?"

"Last night?" Su Heng dodged Gwen's head that was getting closer and closer, and continued to ask: "Who did you meet last night?"

"Don't quibble!" Gwen said firmly: "The spider silk launcher last night has exposed you!"

"Only I can make that type of spider silk launcher! And in the store, I just happened to have the one I put here before Reserve money!"

"Then what?" Su Heng stretched out his finger and flicked Gwen's head: "So what if it is, so what if it is not, does it matter?"

"Of course it is important!" Gwen slapped Su Heng's hand away, slammed his hands heavily on the counter, leaned forward, and said angrily: "Because it's unfair!"

"When I got my ability in the dream, the first person I thought of was you! But you..."

Ding——

Before Gwen finished speaking, the door of the dessert shop was hurriedly opened.

"Thank God, your store is open."

The one who walked into the store was Tony Stark's bodyguard and driver Happy, a frequent customer of the store during this period.

"Uh, it seems that I came at the wrong time?" After Happy saw the scene in the store clearly, he touched his chin awkwardly.

In his perspective at this moment, Gwen and Su Heng stood on the inside and outside of the counter respectively. Gwen, who was standing on the outside of the counter, leaned forward, as if he was going to do something to Su Heng inside the counter.

"Something is wrong indeed." Su Heng reached out and pushed Gwen's head away, and raised his eyebrows at Happy: "Of course, I mean the time. After all, it's not business hours yet, Mr. Happy."

"Hmph!" Gwen also knew that it would be difficult to force Su Heng to ask questions if there were outsiders around, but it was indeed a bit uncomfortable to have the words stuck in her throat, which led to her walking aside with her arms around her chest, sulking.

"There's nothing I can do. Who made me have a willful boss?" Happy shrugged with a bitter smile, walked to the counter and handed the order in his arms to Su Heng: "Please help me make these desserts quickly, Mr. Manager."

"Today at 10 o'clock this morning, Tony will take a private plane to the Middle East to accompany the military to inspect Stark Industries' new weapons. Before that, he hopes to eat the desserts made by you, Mr. Manager."

"Is that so?" Su Heng picked up the order, looked at the desserts on it, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Ever since Tony Stark came to the store to buy dessert last time, probably because he thought the desserts in the store tasted good, he arranged for Happy to come to the store almost every day to buy some desserts to take back.

And if Su Heng is not surprised, the desserts on this order should be the ones that best suit Tony's taste.

"Mr. Happy, let me say this first." Su Heng waved the order in his hand at Happy and reminded him: "The price for expedited delivery is different from the normal price!"

"Of course I know that." Happy nodded anxiously: "When has Stark Industries ever been short of money? Mr. Manager, you should do it quickly. I will be in time when I rush back later."

"Okay, okay." Su Heng glanced at Gwen who was hiding in the corner: "Gwen, since it's an expedited order, come in with me and help!"

Gwen, who was still sulking, was stunned and looked at Su Heng with some suspicion.

You should know that before this, Su Heng would never allow anyone to enter his precious bakery.

"Don't be in a daze, come here." Su Heng waved at Gwen: "I can explain the reason to you by the way."

"Mr. Manager!" Happy heard this and urged Su Heng anxiously: "You two can have conflicts, but don't waste time!"

"Don't worry, it won't happen." Su Heng took the white chef's coat on the coat rack, shook it gently and put it on.

While putting on his hat, he said to Gwen who walked into the counter: "Your chef's coat is in the cabinet in the cloakroom. Put it on yourself before entering the bakery."

"Got it." Gwen nodded, turned around and walked into the cloakroom inside the counter.

When Gwen changed into the white chef's coat and walked into the bakery, Su Heng was already busy inside.

"After washing your hands, help me put the whipped cream on the table over there into the piping bag." Su Heng, who was brushing egg liquid on the dough, tilted his head and pointed to the utensils on another table to Gwen.

"Yeah." Gwen nodded, and according to Su Heng's request, she began to help him.

In the busy process, Gwen discovered Su Heng's strange behavior in making desserts. No matter what kind of dessert it was, he didn't put any sugar-related items into it.

And there were no raw materials related to sugar in this bakery.

"Is it a little unclear?" Su Heng noticed Gwen's slightly confused eyes: "Why are there no raw materials related to sugar in the bakery."

"Yes!" Gwen nodded heavily, and then shook his head: "No! Who wants to know this!"

"Didn't you say you would explain the reason to me in the bakery?" Gwen looked at Su Heng and called out Su Heng's vest word by word: "Dark! Night! Magic! Mage!"

"Because these two things can actually be explained together." Su Heng looked at the quality of the bread in the oven and gently called out to a card placed at the window of the bakery.

"Gan."

"Hoohoo!" The card transformed into light, and gradually revealed a little elf in candy costume.

"Remember to eat in moderation." Su Heng reminded Gan, who had already impatiently flown to the oven.

"Hoohoo~" Gan nodded his little head repeatedly, and as he waved the magic wand in his hand, the sweet light seeped into the desserts in the oven.

Gwen looked at Gan flying around and waving the magic wand at the desserts in the bakery, and opened her mouth slightly in surprise.

"Introduce me." Su Heng picked up a finger biscuit and stuffed it into Gwen's mouth, pointing to the busy Gan card: "This is Gan, one of my magic cards, which has the magic that can make food sweet or turn objects into sweets."

"Could it be that" Listening to Su Heng's introduction, Gwen seemed to remember something: "The chocolate river incident half a year ago?!"

"Yes, it did it." Su Heng nodded.

Half a year ago, the water of the Hudson River across New York State turned into the color and taste of chocolate for unknown reasons, and then returned to its original state after one night.

This was also the first appearance of the Dark Night Magician, but he was unknown at that time. It was not until the Dark Night Magician's activeness in several supernatural events that some people on the Internet linked him to this incident.

"And my name, the Dark Night Magician." Su Heng paused, and then continued: "Dark Night is because I always appear at night, and the title of magician, in addition to the mysterious way I solve those events, just like a magician, there is another important reason, that is"

In Gwen's eyes, around Su Heng's body, a series of light and shadows of cards emerged. Su Heng's fingers gently tapped on the card in front of him, and the card lit up and turned into the appearance of the small hot air balloon last night.

"I am the controller of these magic cards, or in other words, the messenger who controls these magic cards called Clow Cards."

"What does this have to do with you hiding your identity from me?" Gwen was still a little unconvinced.

"Because it's dangerous." The small hot air balloon in Su Heng's hand returned to the shape of a card again.

Su Heng looked at the angry Gwen and couldn't help but sighed: "Don't you know your personality yourself?"

"Being warm-hearted and adventurous may not be a bad thing, but this is not a reason for me to bring you into danger, even if you become the Spider Woman in people's mouths."

"If I had no other means to get close to the floating card last night and could only use the spare spider silk launcher you left in the store, my identity as a dark night magician would not have been exposed." Su Heng sighed with some regret.

"Hehe, I can only say that you deserve it." Gwen said with a groan: "Who told you to always use my father and mother to pressure me, so that I can't go out to enforce justice."

"Now we are even now." Gwen put her hands on her waist and looked forward to the future: "In the future, I will be my Spider-Woman, and you will be your dark night magician. How about we help each other and protect the beautiful future of New York together?"

"Don't dream." Su Heng looked at Gwen's shining eyes, squinted his eyes and poured cold water on Gwen: "After all, Peter Parker and the police gentlemen of the New York Police Department are enough to solve the crimes in this city. If you add them in, you can't help at all."

Gwen naturally knew that there was nothing wrong with what Su Heng said, because a few days ago at the dinner party at Stacy's house, the drunk George pulled Su Heng to start complaining.

The words were full of dissatisfaction with Spider-Man.

After all, Spider-Man doesn't always appear to do small things like helping old ladies cross the road.

Most of the time, Spider-Man always appears at the scene of some contraband transactions. Every time the New York Police Department's police car arrives after receiving the alarm, the criminals at the transaction scene have been packed tightly.

Although it is a good thing that the criminals are caught, it is not friendly to the wallets of New York police officers. After all, if calculated by merit, the police officers who go out to the police can only get the merit of escorting the criminals back.

This also means that during this period, although the New York Police Department has been escorting, interrogating, and detaining prisoners, the bonus commissions obtained from such a cycle of work are not even as much as before Spider-Man appeared.

A Spider-Man has already made the police gentlemen of the New York Police Department hate it. If another Spider-Woman continues to be chivalrous, I am afraid that the police gentlemen will really go crazy.

But even so, Gwen still wants to fight for herself again.

"What if, I mean what if, Peter Parker is too busy?"

"Then you, Spider-Woman, will take the stage." Su Heng wiped his hands with a wet towel and said this casually.

But even Su Heng and Gwen didn't expect that Spider-Woman's chance to take the stage again would come so soon
