“Just what happened here?”

We were en route to Oscorp when we saw a commotion on the road ahead and Harry stopped the car because of it.

Cars were standing still on the road with the passengers missing while people were running in the opposite direction in panic.

“What is happening here, Grandpa?” I asked an old man who was also running in the opposite direction but was rather slow because of his old age.

“There is a crazy thief who has got advanced weaponry from who knows where. He has already looted a bank but he was stupid enough to shoot his own vehicle causing him to be stranded. So, he is now shooting indiscriminately everywhere with his hi-tech weapon in a bid to make an escape route.” The old man told us while panting heavily.

Before we could ask something more, the old man also darted away like everyone else.

I could see in the distance that there was a guy wearing a yellow suit launching some kind of blasts everywhere. He was slowly moving towards our direction.

“Let’s get out of the road, at least. We should not be in open in such situations.” I suggested to Harry.

Soon, we were in a nearby alley, out of the line of fire.

As I saw that bastard launching those blasts everywhere without any care in the world, I felt a surge of anger within me.

That bastard had already caused quite a lot of damage to the surroundings and didn't seem to care if people got hurt. He had to be taken down. And seeing that there was no one else who could do it, I would have to do it!

“Harry, wait here. I will come back after taking that bastard down.” I said to Harry.

“But, Peter….” Harry was obviously shocked by my sudden declaration.

“You don’t need to worry, Harry. That guy is nothing. I have faced much greater threats than him. He would not even be able to scratch me.” I assured Harry.

I put my hand on a bracelet which was on my right hand and activated it. The bracelet emitted a light which engulfed my body. When the light disappeared, I was not in my clothes but a special enchanted combat suit.

The suit was black in colour with a few red highlights. It had a hood along with a half-face mask which would cover my identity.

Stolen story; please report.

It was made with the hide of a giant soul sucking monster along with some dragon scales I had received from the people of Ta Lo.

The suit itself was especially optimised for urban combat while the bracelet was a gift from Hye-rin’s grandfather, as an extra gift for saving his granddaughter. It was used for swift transformation.

And the suit was full of various protective enchantments the most powerful of which was lightning resistance enchantment so that the suit would not be burnt by my red lightning.

There were also some additional enchantments made for various situations I could encounter. It was only possible for the suit to have this much enchantments because it was made from the leather of an interdimensional beast which could contain a large amount of enchantments.

I had thought to use this suit first to patrol along with Gwen but this situation was as good as any to unbox it.

Putting on an invisibility spell on myself, I stealthily neared that crazy guy.

Now that I was near, I could see what kind of blasts he was shooting.

He was using the gauntlets to vibrate the air around him to release powerful air blasts. It was easy for me to recognise it because this method was often used in advanced wind spells.

“Ha ha ha ha! I am Shocker. Who would have thought that my invention would be so powerful? I am going to be rich!” The crazy guy identifying himself as Shocker boasted about his gauntlets.

As soon as I heard his boasting, I got even more angry. This bastard was shooting everywhere without caring about anyone's life just because he wanted some money. This Shocker had to be put down and quickly!

I launched a bolt of lightning at him, just enough to paralyse him.

“Ah!” Shocker screamed as he was struck by lightning out of nowhere.

Without giving him a chance to react further, I used a low powered flash to reach him in an instant. Although I could reach him quickly even without using flash, I didn’t want to give him a chance to react.

As soon as I reached him, I gave him a rather strong punch, that is by my standards, on his abdomen.

Shocker opened his mouth to cry as he doubled back in pain but I struck him on his chin ruthlessly, ultimately rendering him unconscious.

That was quite fast even by my standards. Looks like the only thing Shocker had going on for himself was his hi-tech gauntlets. Without them he was just a regular human.

Well, it’s good that I finished him off this fast. Now, let’s return to Harry. It is getting late already. Huh!

I was about to move when I noticed Shocker’s gauntlets. Now that this guy was going to jail, he wouldn’t need them. Furthermore, they could be used for evil intentions.

So, I think I should take them for safekeeping. I put the gauntlets out of Shocker’s hands and moved to a nearby alley.

After looking around and saying that nobody was looking I put the gauntlets into my storage bracelet and then put on an invisibility spell and returned to the alley where Harry was.

“It’s done, Harry.” I said to Harry as I reappeared.

“Damn it, Peter! Don't scare me like that!” Harry jumped back in fright as he saw me reappear.

“By the way, that was awesome, Peter. You didn’t tell me that you also knew martial arts.” Harry was truly surprised by how quickly I put down Shocker.

“I will tell you later. Let’s go now. Otherwise get ready for your father’s rage.” I reminded Harry as I activated my bracelet to revert to my casual clothes.

“That’s right. I completely forgot about it after seeing your performance.”
