"I understand what you mean. In that case, I will take Jane away now and find a quiet place to stay."
With Lauren's promise, Thor finally set his mind at ease. Instead of feeling nervous about the impending crisis, he was actually full of anticipation.
Not long after Thor left, Lauren summoned Alice.
"Alice, focus on monitoring the situation with Thor during this period. If I'm not mistaken, the Dark Elves should make a move within a few days."
"Understood. I will arrange for micro-bionic robots to monitor them around the clock and from all angles."
"Hmm, let's do that!" Lauren nodded and intended to return to the research and development of the Saiyan gene serum.
But just at this moment, a familiar number suddenly rang.
You must know that usually, the people who could call his private phone were either wrong numbers or friends he acknowledged.
Picking up the phone and looking at it, a smile appeared on his face, because the person calling was none other than Gwen, whom he hadn't been in touch with for a while.
Since the last Battle of New York, some of the Chitauri's high-tech weapons had begun to circulate in the black market.
These Chitauri weapons were extremely powerful, and the destruction they could cause was far beyond what conventional weapons could compare to.
Coupled with the many capable people in the black market, they modified these alien weapons to make them easier to carry.
Therefore, the crime rate across New York City had soared during this period, and all kinds of criminals were springing up like mushrooms.
And as the friendly neighbor Spider-Man of New York City, which was Gwen, she naturally took on the responsibility of guarding the peace, swinging through the city every day to pit her wits against those criminals.
This was also the main reason she hadn't come to find Lauren during this time, to which Lauren had already grown accustomed.
Although he and Gwen were always in an ambiguous relationship, he never interfered too much in Gwen's life.
He believed that the girl would one day fall into his arms; he had that confidence.
Answering the phone, the first thing that sounded was the whistling of the wind, followed by Gwen's voice.
Clearly, she shouldn't be at home right now, but was still swinging outside in the city.
Perhaps she was still fighting crime. Calling him at this moment, she probably encountered some trouble and needed his help.
And his guess was indeed correct; the moment Gwen spoke, she was really asking him for help.
"Lauren, emergency situation. I am pursuing a criminal."
"But that guy has modified his body with high-tech weapons from the Chitauri and possesses the ability to fly at high speed. I can't catch up to him."
"See if you have any way to help me intercept him. This guy has robbed multiple banks and created a terrorist attack."
"Many innocent citizens have unfortunately lost their lives at his hands. He is truly heinous; I must catch him today."
Gwen's voice was full of determination; clearly, she was serious and not just being stubborn.
If someone else had suddenly called him to ask for help, he certainly wouldn't have meddled in the business.
But the person calling him at this moment was Gwen, so that was a different matter.
After all, the other party was the woman he wanted. If he couldn't even help with this, how would good things happen in the future?
"Hello, Lauren, did you hear me? That guy is about to fly out of my sight."
Seeing that Lauren didn't answer immediately, Gwen couldn't help but become even more anxious.
Upon hearing this, Lauren looked calm and unhurried; instead, he began to tease her.
"I say, my little sweetheart, helping you is naturally no problem, but after this favor, how are you going to thank me?"
"Hey, what is our relationship? Asking you for help, and you actually want to collect a reward from me? You are too unloyal."
"Hehe, then you tell me, what is our relationship?" Lauren said with a laugh while waving his hand.
Suddenly, a portal appeared in front of him, and the place the portal connected to was exactly where Gwen was located.
Through the portal, he clearly saw Gwen swinging rapidly between tall buildings, relying on her spider silk.
And right now, not far above her, a man carrying a pair of huge steel vortex flight devices was quickly fleeing towards the outside of the city area.
He seemed to know that he couldn't beat Gwen inside the city area, which was why he thought about leaving these tall buildings as soon as possible.
As long as there were no tall buildings for support, Gwen wouldn't be able to catch up to him.
Hearing Lauren suddenly ask what her relationship with him was, a touch of shyness couldn't help but appear in Gwen's heart.
"What else could our relationship be? Of course, it's that kind of relationship."
"What kind of relationship is that kind of relationship?" Lauren asked with a mischievous smile.
"Hey, it's already this time; can you stop teasing me?"
"If it gets any later, that guy is going to escape. By then, I won't talk to you anymore."
"If you help me, at worst, I'll treat you to something to eat!"
Gwen said unhappily, her eyes fixed on the guy in the sky who was dressed like a bird-man.
Seeing that Gwen had said so, Lauren stopped teasing her.
He waved his hand casually, and a silver-white Spider-Woman suit made of Vibranium flew out from his magic ring.
Then, through the portal, it instantly appeared in front of Gwen, and this Iron Man Suit still used nanotechnology.
So, the moment it appeared, it was like grains of sand, automatically covering Gwen's body, and in just an instant, it condensed into a brand-new Spider-Woman suit.
This suit was full of high technology, with an embedded infinite power furnace. Its power was even more powerful than the one previously given to Gwen, and usually, it only needed a little Water to be injected.
In addition to having the functions of the original nano Spider-Woman suit, the brand-new Vibranium Spider-Woman suit also came with anti-gravity flight capabilities, so it could fly.
Of course, it also possessed the function of nano-particles condensing into various cold weapons, so its overall combat power was several times stronger than the previous suit.
"I upgraded this nano suit based on the original one. It is made entirely of Vibranium, which will allow you to ignore artillery attacks."
"Then, an Artificial Intelligence - Alice is also embedded inside. However, this time the Artificial Intelligence - Alice is more intelligent and efficient; you will know in a moment."
As Lauren spoke, he lifted his foot and stepped out from the portal, actually walking through the air to accompany Gwen by her side.
Gwen didn't expect that Lauren had secretly crafted another Spider-Woman suit for her, and her heart was instantly filled with immense emotion.
A bold thought couldn't help but appear in her mind, making her look at Lauren's face with shyness.
