At that moment, Arthur was in his room, sitting in front of the computer and pressing the keyboard keys quickly.
He was finally using one of the skills he had gained upon logging in.
Kingpin, being a high-caliber criminal, is constantly watched by the FBI, Interpol, and others.
It wasn't difficult for Arthur to get information about him as long as he hacked the system.
"Ahh~ Finally…"
With the last line of code typed, the program started working perfectly.
Arthur stretched as he looked at his computer screen.
Now, he just had to wait for the results.
"Ahh~ I'll have a meal first, then I'll come back to check my earnings."
Before Arthur knew it, it was dinner time.
New York Police Department
After a busy day full of paperwork, George Stacy got up from his chair, grabbed his coat, and left the office.
He didn't notice that, immediately after he left, the computer screen lit up again.
After leaving the NYPD, George took out his cell phone and called Gwen.
"Hi, Gwen.
Where are you now? Do you need me to come get you?"
"No need, I'm already home.
But if you don't come back soon, my mother will be angry."
Gwen had gone home early today. This surprised George a little.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
On the other end of the line, Gwen was in her room, looking with satisfaction at the sketch she had just made.
"Since it's a spider, I think it would be cool to add a little spider element to it."
With that said, Gwen picked up a pen and continued reviewing her draft.
Soon, a set of drawings for her future costume appeared on the drawing paper.
"Perfect!
But what kind of material should I use to make it?"
Gwen opened her closet, rummaged through her clothes, and soon found a set of black-and-white yoga clothes in the corner.
The material was tight but comfortable and breathable.
Gwen held the yoga clothes in one hand and compared them to the sketches in her other hand.
More inspirations came to her mind.
"Gwen, your father is back!!
Come to dinner."
Before she knew it, an hour had passed, and the sketch in her hands had become much more refined.
"Okay, I'll be right down, Mom."
At the dining table, the Stacy family was happily enjoying their dinner.
Gwen shared some interesting stories about her day at school, while George occasionally talked about things at work.
After dinner, he went to watch the news on TV.
This was George's habit, to ensure he could receive information as quickly as possible while resting at home, especially in situations that might require police intervention.
For example, the fight that had taken place at Stark Industries some time ago.
[A/N: Iron Man 1]
It was through the television that he had learned about the fight and immediately sent the police to the scene.
But today, New York was calm—not as chaotic as usual.
There was no major disturbance today.
The news was all about politicians and their campaigns.
Even George couldn't help but complain: "These guys only show their faces when they need votes.
They talk a lot, but they don't do anything."
For a practical man like him, loudmouth politicians were the most frustrating.
Mother and daughter smiled at each other. They had both heard this type of complaint many times.
Suddenly, George's cell phone started ringing.
When he answered, his face suddenly changed. "Are you sure!?
Okay, I'm going right now!"
"Dad, what happened?"
George put on his coat. "Someone broke into and tampered with the database system on the police station's computers.
Our technicians are already checking the situation now,
but I still need to go there immediately."
After mother and daughter watched George leave, Helen sighed. "It's like this every time."
"Don't worry, Mom.
At least this time it's just a hacker; there's no need for him to be on duty today, and there won't be any danger."
"You're right…" Helen nodded, relieved that she didn't have to worry too much this time.
"Mom, I'm satisfied too.
I'm going back to my room now."
"Okay, I'll heat you a glass of milk later."
"Thank you, Mom~"
Gwen kissed her on the cheek and continued finishing the design of her costume.
Gwen was in front of the computer, looking up information about spiders while thinking about how to create her costume.
Suddenly, an image caught her attention.
"Spider web…"
About that
Arthur looked at the contents on his computer.
Almost all current information about Kingpin was there, including his current location.
Major criminals like Kingpin are under 24-hour surveillance.
"Hell's Kitchen, huh?"
After confirming the location, Arthur got up and left the house.
Soon, Arthur arrived at an abandoned factory in Hell's Kitchen.
Many men were wandering around the factory.
(Probably watchmen and guards…)
Even though it was nighttime, Arthur could see everything below.
At this time, he took out his phone and checked the information to ensure he was in the right location.
"As expected…"
A criminal like Kingpin had certainly made countless enemies during his career.
So he had to have safe hiding places all over the city, for example, in the basement of this factory.
From what Arthur could find, there was a small room with tight security.
(Despite everything, Kingpin was still pretty careless for letting his security be entirely electronic.)
(Would this be too much trust in his guards, or does he simply not know that this type of system can be easily hacked?)
Kingpin was a huge man, so big that he looked like one of those sumo wrestlers.
But contrary to popular belief, he did not suffer from obesity. His huge and bulky body was actually made of abnormally gigantic muscles, virtually impossible for an ordinary human, especially in the trunk region, which made him appear very fat.
He was probably one of the strongest humans who didn't rely on any genetic enhancement or X-gene.
As he himself had said, many mutants had already died by his hands.
This was also why he was confident he could take down Arthur.
But what he didn't expect was that Arthur had already surpassed the strength any human should have, including him.
