The sudden appearance of Sandman left many innocent civilians trapped.
He roared furiously, demanding Norman Osborn to show himself.
"Gwen's in trouble!"
Seeing Gwen captured, Peter Parker panicked immediately.
Without a second thought, he was about to rush in to save her.
"Are you crazy?"
Su Yu grabbed Peter by the arm, pulling him back.
Ignoring Peter's struggles, Su Yu dragged him to a safe distance, carefully observing the unfolding situation.
The unexpected turn of events caught even Su Yu off guard.
It seemed Sandman had some connection to Norman Osborn.
At this moment, Su Yu glanced at Peter Parker, who had only just been bitten by a certain spider.
"Mr. Su, Gwen's been captured! I have to save her! Don't stop me!" Peter said anxiously, trying to break free.
But Su Yu held his wrist firmly.
"Enough! Do you have a death wish?"
Su Yu's voice turned cold and stern.
"Call the police right now and get out of here immediately. You don't want Aunt May to lose you, do you?"
"I... but..."
Peter tried to argue but stopped under Su Yu's intense gaze. Reluctantly, he nodded and left.
Su Yu turned his attention back to the plaza.
"Sandman? What a coincidence. I suppose I owe you some thanks."
Just then, the system's voice echoed in Su Yu's mind:
[Ding! Host has encountered a Spider-Man storyline. Defeat Sandman to earn one Active Trade Opportunity.]
Wasting no time, Su Yu pulled out a vial of serum and drank it.
This was his trump card to defeat Sandman.
By completing the task, he could earn the right to initiate another trade and find his second trade target.
The system's rewards were simply irresistible.
The serum's strange taste made Su Yu grimace as his body began to expand rapidly.
His clothes tore apart in an instant as he transformed into a mini-giant, his muscular physique exuding raw, terrifying power.
"Roar!!"
With a low growl, Su Yu strode forward boldly.
Sandman noticed him immediately.
"Who are you? Looking for death?!"
Seeing Su Yu approach, Sandman roared in fury.
Today, his mission was to confront Norman Osborn.
The man had promised to help cure his daughter in exchange for his services. But in the end, Norman broke his promise.
Now, Sandman's daughter was critically ill, and he blamed Norman entirely.
Sandman was determined to make Norman pay.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A storm of sand surged like a tidal wave, bearing down on Su Yu.
Terrified screams erupted from the trapped crowd.
Gwen, pale-faced but composed, tried to comfort her friends.
"Betty, don't be scared. Someone's here to save us!"
She recognized Su Yu at a glance.
But what shocked her was that the handsome man she had just been smitten by turned out to be a superhero.
Watching Su Yu transform into a towering figure of muscle left her heart racing even more.
"Hmph, mere tricks."
Su Yu scoffed, effortlessly dodging the attacks.
Closing the distance to Sandman quickly, his eyes scanned the area until he spotted something useful—a fire hydrant!
With a loud bang, Su Yu smashed the hydrant, unleashing a torrent of water.
The entire plaza was soon shrouded in a curtain of water.
The sandstorm Sandman had summoned was instantly soaked, rendering his attacks useless.
And this was just the beginning.
Su Yu moved swiftly, breaking open every fire hydrant nearby.
Water cascaded like waterfalls, engulfing the plaza.
The once-menacing Sandman began to dissolve as the water eroded his sandy form.
"No! You bastard! Why?!"
Sandman screamed in rage as his body disintegrated into a stream of wet sand.
Unable to maintain his form, he was eventually swept into the sewers by the flowing water.
"Ah, we're saved! Thank goodness!"
The trapped civilians, including Gwen and her friends, were finally freed.
Although drenched, they were safe.
For the men, being soaked wasn't much of an issue. But for Gwen and the other girls, their wet clothes clung to their figures, highlighting their curves.
"Ah!!"
Realizing her predicament, Gwen shrieked, covering her chest.
Betty and the other girls also blushed deeply.
"Here, put these on."
At that moment, Su Yu approached calmly, shirtless, holding several jackets he had "borrowed" from a nearby store.
No one had noticed, so it didn't count as stealing—right?
"You?!"
Gwen was initially startled but quickly broke into a delighted smile.
Blushing, she accepted the jacket from Su Yu, as did her friends.
Once they were covered up, they all looked at Su Yu gratefully.
"Th-thank you, sir," Gwen stammered.
"You're welcome," Su Yu replied casually, shaking his head.
Hearing the sound of approaching sirens in the distance, he decided it was time to leave.
"I'm off. You should all head home!"
With those words, Su Yu left quickly.
He soon found Peter Parker, who stared at him in shock.
Ignoring Peter's reaction, Su Yu led him to the car and drove them home.
As they left, the system's voice echoed again in Su Yu's mind:
[Ding! Host has earned one Active Trade Opportunity. Target search in progress...]
