Marvel: The Imposter Inventor

Chapter 91 Identity Exposed
"Damn it, why think so much!"

Realizing that his family might have some unclear relationship with Hydra, Luca's first action was to finish off the unconscious enemies present one by one.

Then I checked it again carefully.

"Fortunately, apart from this captain, none of the others had any surveillance equipment on them."

At this moment, Luca was beginning to feel somewhat fortunate for his earlier sudden idea to use the [Transformation Watch] for a disguise.

Otherwise, during the fight with these people just now, his identity would have been exposed to the person behind the scenes through this mechanical eye.

After quickly finishing these follow-up tasks, Luca remembered that Gwen was waiting for his rescue on the other side.

'Something's not right. The gunfire over here is pretty loud too. Why haven't any of his men come back to check?'

After a moment's thought, Luca simply grabbed a relatively intact corpse from the pile of bodies, rescanned it with his [Transformation Watch] to overwrite the original transformation state, then picked up a submachine gun and chased after Gwen in the direction she had fled.

Along the way, Luca even encountered several special forces soldiers who had been knocked unconscious by Gwen.

Without much hesitation, they were all sent on their way.

As they walked along, they came to a fork in the road in the sewers. The eerie silence around them made Luca suspicious.

Always trusting his intuition, he instinctively tried to dodge to the side.

But then, he made his move.

A white, viscous substance, like a rapidly flying bullet, struck Luca's right hand, which was holding the gun.

Although the viscous substance that flew towards them didn't have much kinetic energy, it still managed to shoot Luca's right hand, along with the gun in his hand, against the wall, turning it into a spider web that firmly held Luca in place.

Immediately afterwards, a white figure darted over and threw a punch at Luca's face.

"it's me!!"

Luca, who already knew who the person was, immediately called out.

At the same time, the right robotic arm suddenly exerted force, tearing apart the spider web that trapped it, along with a small section of the wall.

He quickly moved to block Gwen's incoming punch.

Even so, the punch still sent Luca staggering backward, slamming him heavily against the wall behind him.

Feeling the burning pain in his back, he grimaced and spoke again.

"Stop, it's me!"

Although he was explaining, Luca still didn't drop the pretense.

He was still in danger here, and he didn't want to take any risk of exposing his identity.

Fortunately, even though she had never seen Luca's transformation ability before, Gwen realized who the person in front of her was after two explanations.

The long leg that was about to kick Luca's neck was immediately and slowly retracted.

Watching Gwen's decisive moves and swift, clean combos, it was truly impressive.

Luca, still grinning, couldn't help but complain.

"I haven't seen you use the web-shooter at all along, but you were decisive when you attacked me."

But it would have been better if he hadn't said anything.

After saying that, Gwen, who had already stopped exerting her strength, immediately rolled her eyes.

"My spider fluid has been emptied out; that last bit was the last shot."

She said she'd been "left out," but Gwen's eyes were fixed on Luca.

It was only then that Luca realized what was happening.

Indeed, at this moment, Harlow was still at home analyzing the composition ratio of 'spider web fluid' for himself, and it might really be empty inside.

However, since Luca was thick-skinned enough, he didn't respond and simply changed the subject.

"Have all the people who were pursuing you been dealt with?" Gwen didn't answer immediately either, but her pretty face flushed slightly as she awkwardly said.

"Let go first!"

Luca looked over and, lo and behold, his [sweet captive] was still tightly gripping the other's fist.

Although this robotic arm is very flexible, that's its only drawback.

Despite being disguised as an ordinary special forces soldier, under the influence of the power of concept, his right hand looked and felt exactly like a real hand to outsiders.

But in reality, he himself has absolutely no sense of touch.

Luca quickly released his grip, letting Gwen pull her hand back, before asking again.

"What were you thinking, lying in ambush here?"

Gwen's expression had returned to normal. Although she was inwardly amazed by Luca's strength, she still spoke quickly.

"Let's go back the way we came! We can talk as we go!"

Upon hearing this, Luca knew that they were not yet out of danger, so he didn't say anything more and immediately followed Gwen's footsteps.

It was at this moment that Gwen spoke again, explaining what had happened earlier.

In reality, Gwen wasn't planning to ambush anyone here.

Those who had been chasing her were all wiped out by Luca, as several of them had stayed behind.

So Gwen's side ran and fought back all the way, and had already taken down everyone.

However, when she reached the end of the sewer, she discovered that someone was guarding the exit.

Gwen, already somewhat exhausted, dared not launch a rash attack.

Moreover, after calming down, she realized what had happened, having not found any trace of Luca along the way.

Did Luca not run away beforehand at all? On the contrary, was he the one who abandoned his teammates and ran away?

Well, what she thought was that Luca had used his invisibility ability to hide his head and avoid being seen.

So Gwen went back the way she came, searching for Luca.

They only happened to run into him at the crossroads, mistaking the transformed Luca for other pursuers, which is why they launched the first attack.

However, after hearing this story, Luca's focus was not on the other person's complex feelings of guilt.

Instead, he immediately stopped and asked the question.

"So, there are still enemies you knocked unconscious behind the fork in the road that you haven't dealt with?!"

Seeing Luca suddenly stop, Gwen also stopped, and frowned even more after hearing his question.

She had wanted to say something when she saw Luca fight without holding back, and now that the old matter had been brought up again, Gwen immediately spoke in a serious tone.

"Yes, they were just knocked unconscious. Although these people are criminals, they should still be handed over to the police."

"If I kill them, how am I any different from a criminal?"

Upon hearing Gwen's words, Luca rolled his eyes.

Well, even though he was 'fully armed' at the moment, Gwen couldn't see his eyes.

However, at a time like this, Luca was too lazy to argue with the other party about the relationship between street heroes and the law.

If these people are really Hydra, they might even have a nominal position within 'Snakes.H.I.E.L.D.', and in terms of law enforcement authority, they might even have priority over Gwen, the vigilante.

Luca simply said it casually.

"Have you forgotten? You weren't wearing a mask today!"
