On the contrary, Gwen behind him covered her mouth, nearly bursting into laughter.
Hahahaha, this fake actually called her old man 'George'!
You should know that while calling elders by their first names is common in America and even indicates a close relationship...
...Ryan had never called her father 'George' before; he always used the respectful 'Chief Stacy' or 'Father-in-law.'
Did this guy not even do the most basic homework?
And as a junior, was he serious about patting an elder's shoulder?
Talk about reversing the natural order, right?
Watching the smile vanish from Chief Stacy's face, the fake Ryan across from him didn't panic; instead, a smug, triumphant grin tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Though he didn't realize there was an issue with the form of address, the shoulder pat was indeed intentional.
He wanted to lower Ryan's favorability in front of Chief Stacy on purpose, so that after he did this and that to Gwen, he could watch Chief Stacy and the real Ryan Parker tear into each other like dogs!
However, while his imagination was beautiful, reality was cruel.
Gravik didn't know yet that there were already three people present who knew he was a fake.
As for why there were three?
Aside from Chief Stacy and Gwen, who already knew, Gwen's Mother and two younger brothers—who didn't know yet—all turned their gazes behind the fake Ryan.
Except for Gwen, the eyes of everyone else in the Stacy family were filled with astonishment, even Chief Stacy's!
It was as if they had seen something inconceivable.
This caused Gravik's heart to skip a beat, giving him a bad premonition.
What were they looking at?
Just as Gravik was about to turn around to find out, he felt his head tighten in the next moment, as if it were stuck and couldn't move!
Because at this moment, a large hand was firmly clamped onto the crown of his head!
And standing behind him was a person who looked exactly like him!
That was... the real Ryan Parker!
Spider Monarch!
Ryan applied just a little pressure, lifting the Gravik-turned-Ryan into the air, making him let out a scream like a slaughtered pig!
With Ryan's current strength, even a slight exertion was enough to crack Gravik's skull; the pain was unimaginable.
Looking at his somewhat frightened mother-in-law and two brothers-in-law, Ryan didn't choose to crush the fake's head immediately.
Instead, the Tesseract appeared in his other hand, and he opened a spatial portal in front of them once again.
"Father-in-law, your vacation might have to be postponed. Let Mother-in-law and my brothers-in-law go back first."
Looking through, the other end of the spatial portal was actually their home.
Well, that certainly saved them the money for the return flights.
Chief Stacy also realized the severity of the situation. After nodding to Ryan, he quickly comforted his wife and two sons before letting them enter the portal to head home.
Then, Chief Stacy looked at the real Ryan—the one his intuition told him was correct—and seemed to hesitate, but finally sighed and simply said:
"Sigh, stay safe..."
Saying that, Chief Stacy, feeling he couldn't help much with such supernatural events, planned to return home through the portal as well.
But before he could step through, Ryan called out to him, "Father-in-law, want to come along?"
Chief Stacy, who already had one foot through the portal, turned back in surprise: "I can participate in your Superhero meeting too?"
Ryan nodded with a smile: "Of course. In the Spider Family, heroes aren't measured by their scale. Even as an ordinary person, you, who have fought on the front lines against evil for years, have long been recognized by us as a great Superhero!"
Hearing this, Chief Stacy couldn't have been more pleased; his back, which had slumped slightly in disappointment, straightened right up.
The more he looked at Ryan, the more satisfied he became!
Look at that, this is my silver-tongued son-in-law, not like that imposter who made him want to pull his gun the moment he opened his mouth!
Seeing that Chief Stacy had been coaxed into a good mood with just a few words, a mysterious smile played on Ryan's lips:
"Furthermore, I might need Father-in-law's help with a few small favors this time. I want to introduce you to a new daughter, introduce a new Chief to your precinct, and trouble your station to cooperate with the Spider Family's next operation..."
Chief Stacy:???
A minute later, at the Parker Family home.
Chief Stacy looked at the Long-Haired Gwen on his left, then at the Short-haired Gwen on his right, and he was completely numb!
He couldn't tell them apart; he really couldn't tell them apart anymore!
Just now, facing that fake Ryan, he could immediately sense something was wrong and recognize him as an imposter.
But this time, facing two identical Gwens, he truly couldn't distinguish which daughter was the fake!
His Police intuition had failed for the first time because he now felt that both were his real daughter!
But how was that possible? He was certain his wife hadn't had twins when she gave birth to Gwen, so how could there be two identical daughters!
It must be a monster like the one that disguised itself as Ryan earlier!
Thinking of this, while both Gwens wore expressions of wanting to laugh but not daring to, Chief Stacy carefully sidled up to Ryan and whispered:
"Ryan, one of them is fake, right? Quick, use that Ryan-Sense of yours to see who the real Gwen is. My Police intuition seems to have failed..."
Ryan:...
What the hell is a 'Ryan-Sense'?
Ryan's mouth twitched as he glanced at Chief Stacy, saying speechlessly, "Father-in-law, didn't I tell you I wanted to introduce you to a new daughter?"
"Neither of them is fake; both are real, both are your daughters, and your Police intuition hasn't failed..."
Hearing this, Chief Stacy still found it inconceivable, muttering, "Impossible, absolutely impossible. How could such a thing happen? My Police intuition must have failed!"
Seeing Chief Stacy's expression of doubting his very existence, Ryan sighed and facepalmed, casually tossing the unconscious Gravik—who was already rolling his eyes—onto the floor.
Then, under the astonished gazes of the others, Ryan's body shifted, his tall frame began to shrink, and he actually transformed into Gwen's appearance as well!
He had absorbed an unknown amount of Skrull flesh back at the building, so he had naturally long since acquired the Skrulls' shapeshifting ability.
However, this shapeshifting ability had no practical combat effect, so Ryan had never used it.
He never expected that the first time he used it, it would be to turn into his girlfriend...
Life is truly unpredictable...
Ryan, in Gwen's form, stood between the two Gwens and looked at Chief Stacy with dead fish eyes: "Now, look again..."
Upon hearing this, Chief Stacy looked up, his eyes widening as he stared at the three identical daughters. His lost intuition returned instantly, and he pointed at the Ryan in the middle without hesitation, stating firmly, "You're the fake!"
Ryan shrugged at this, saying with Gwen's face, "See, I told you your intuition didn't disappear. Do you believe they're both your daughters now?"
"I... I believe it..." Chief Stacy truly believed it now, looking at the two... uh, three Gwens with a complex gaze...
Seeing that Chief Stacy believed him, Ryan prepared to change back to his original form, but before he could, his left and right hands were grabbed by the Gwens on either side.
Ryan turned his head to see both Gwens looking at him with glowing eyes, saying in unison, "Wait, don't change back yet, what we want is Gwen!"
Ryan:?
