I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 170 Ah Fen's "Good Luck"

"Hahahaha! You actually wanted to kidnap your father when he was young? How could you come up with such a 'clever' idea? Didn't you even consider who Uncle Long learned his kung fu from? Hahahaha!"

While Riley was desperately trying to suppress his laughter because of the unfortunate experiences of the Mafia quartet.

Being younger and less concerned with social niceties, Xiaoyu was noticeably more straightforward in expressing her emotions. She immediately clutched her stomach and burst into laughter without any restraint.

After laughing enough, Xiaoyu raised her hand to wipe away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes. Meanwhile, the four members of the Black Hand Gang, after being persuaded by their father to change their ways, were all wearing aprons and no longer looked like honest gangsters. They were joking and teasing each other.

"Alright, now I believe you're genuinely asking for help... But why should I help you? After all, you're all bad people. I think it's better to let you stay with your old man and work peacefully, which would be considered a reformation, wouldn't it?"

"What? No! I don't want to! Look at all this stuff! Old-fashioned octave cassette tapes, retro disco, hip-hop style clothes with everyone wearing bell-bottoms... Hey, wait a minute, thinking about it, staying here isn't so bad, is it?!"

As soon as Xiaoyu finished speaking, Afen immediately exclaimed in rebuttal without even thinking.

But before he could finish speaking, he suddenly realized that the 1970s seemed to suit his tastes better than the technologically advanced modern society, and Ah Fen's words began to change noticeably.

Until Tru, standing beside him, frowned and patted Afen's shoulder with displeasure.

Ah Fen then remembered why he and his group had taken such a great risk. Suppressing his longing and yearning, he continued speaking in a serious tone.

"Ahem, what I mean is, we still need you to contact Spider-Man and ask him to help us save Valmont. How can we stay in this wonderful era full of opportunities and temptations because of personal feelings..."

Well, of course, judging from the increasingly hesitant second half of his speech...

Clearly, if it weren't for saving Valmont, Afen would have really wanted to stay in this era forever and never go back!

"Save Valmont? What happened to Valmont?"

At first, the outspoken Jade thought that Valmont was the leader of these bad guys and there was no need to save him.

But Riley realized that when he obtained the Sheep Talisman, there were a series of doubts in the details that could not be simply explained or summarized by the amplification of black energy.

This prompted Riley to raise his hand to stop Jade from continuing, and instead took over the conversation himself, raising an eyebrow and asking curiously.

"Huh? And who are you? Adults talk, kids shouldn't...!"

Of course, the reason why the four members of the Black Hand gang were so subservient to Jade was because Jade, who seemed to pose no threat, had a background that was enough to make most villains feel hopeless.

But when it came to Riley, a "passerby" who was clearly unrecognizable to the four members of the Mafia, Ah Fen's pride as a member of a top international mafia member made him subconsciously frown. As his aura suddenly increased, he wanted to put on the airs of a mafia executive and give this brat who dared to interrupt a good scare.

But the next second, Riley made a zero-frame move, quickly covering his entire body with the clothes he was wearing, which were originally transformed from the symbiote, transforming him into the appearance of Black Spider-Man.

Once the symbiote retreated and returned to its normal clothes, Riley could then curl his lips and smile innocently as he stared at Afen.

Just a moment ago, Ah Fen was incredibly arrogant, believing he couldn't scare Xiao Yu or even control a little brat like Riley. But after witnessing Riley's transformation, he had barely stood up when, with a thud, he decisively knelt down again!

Hey hey hey, boss, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding...

I admit, I spoke a little too loudly just now...

But who would have thought that Spider-Man, who could terrify all the criminal forces in New York City just by showing up in person, making them run away like mice in front of a cat, was actually just a fifteen-year-old child!

Are kids these days really this outrageous?

For an outdated old-fashioned person like me, staying in the 1970s would definitely be the wisest choice, right?

Of course, what Ah Fen, who was having a particularly rich inner monologue at this moment, didn't know was...

In fact, one of them had already guessed Riley's true identity.

That's Tru.

He had previously witnessed, outside Osborn’s secret laboratory, how a curious Harry managed to get a despondent Peter to put on the classic red and blue Spider-Man suit in front of everyone.

Furthermore, with the help of the Mafia's intelligence network, Tru could easily follow this clue and confirm that the Spider-Man in black who had been working with Peter was most likely Peter's cousin, Riley Parker.

After all, even setting aside the fact that the body shape perfectly fits the black-clad Spider-Man and his usual righteous indignation...

Tru met Riley when the Black Spider-Man appeared in Mexico.

Therefore, given that the red and blue Spider-Man is actually just a fifteen-year-old child, the identity of the black-clad Spider-Man is truly a difficult question to answer!

However, due to interference from District 13, even with such an obvious answer, Tru spent a considerable amount of time gathering enough evidence to confirm his conjecture.

In addition, when John Jameson was kidnapped, the instinctive decision to attack Peter had already provoked Riley's furious retaliation, and almost everyone of them died there.

After much deliberation, Tru decided to keep the shocking truth a secret, except for telling Valmont immediately. He wanted to prevent others in the Mafia from finding out and, in an attempt to curry favor with Valmont, recklessly causing trouble for Riley's associates and triggering the demon's rage again!

This is why, when Tru received the order from Valmont to use time travel to kill Uncle Dragon and the others ahead of time, he was absolutely certain that something had definitely happened to his boss.

Because, in Tru's opinion, if Valon had any sense, he wouldn't have come up with such a suicidal idea!

Just like Valmont, although he hated Jackie Chan to the core, he was wary of District 13's backing. To prevent the Mafia and District 13 from completely breaking ties and officially declaring war, the Mafia and Jackie Chan have always had a fair and square confrontation. They no longer resort to underhanded tactics like kidnapping Uncle or Jade to force Jackie Chan to comply, as they did at the beginning.

This is enough to prove that the Black Hand Gang is indeed a villain...

But that doesn't mean they're brainless!

Despite all his calculations, Tru still hadn't anticipated that Riley would appear before them in his true form on this occasion!

What I never expected was that Ah Fen, this terrible teammate, would mistake this smiling devil in front of him for an easy target!

So much so that the moment I saw Riley stop pretending, lay his cards on the table, and put on his battle suit in front of me.

If it weren't for the fact that he had spent a long time with the Black Hand trio and was certain that they were as loyal to Valmont as he was...

Tru, who suffered a sudden cardiac arrest, probably began to suspect that Ah Fen might be an undercover agent sent by District 13 to infiltrate their Black Hand gang!

Otherwise, how could Ah Fen have managed to precisely provoke the most low-key yet most capable leader on both occasions?
