Anyway, he have a system, so it's only a matter of time before he becomes more stronger.

Buzz!

Suddenly the cell phone on the brown bedside table vibrated. Griffin picked up his phone casually, and when he saw the message on it, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Because this was actually a message from Wanda!

[Wanda]: Are you asleep?

In Wanda's room at Avengers Base, Wanda was lying on the bed wearing a crimson translucent nightgown. The bright red fabric couldn't hide her fair skin at all.

The curves of her body were accentuated as Wanda tossed and turned on the bed. Whenever she closed her eyes, a certain haunting figure appeared in her mind.

So much so that she couldn't help but search for news about Griffin on the Internet. She couldn't help but smile while looking at his photo, and her feeling of longing grew stronger.

It had only been a short time since they had separated, but she felt as if the days had passed so slowly. After hesitating for a long time, she took out her cell phone and gritted her teeth before sending a text message to Griffin.

At this moment, she seemed like a little girl, afraid that Griffin would not reply.

[Griffin]: What's wrong? Did you miss me?

The moment this message popped up, Wanda's body tensed up, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curve up. It was the first time she had felt so happy after receiving a message.

[Wanda]: Can't I send you a message even if I don't want to?

Wanda stared at the screen, her fair feet swinging constantly.

When Griffin saw the message, he laughed out loud. He finally realized that the little witch had fallen!

[Griffin]: Cute little witch, do you want to have breakfast?

"Breakfast?" Wanda was stunned at first, then suddenly remembered what Griffin had said that morning, and her face turned red.

[Wanda]: Can you be more serious!

She typed quickly on the keyboard. Although she replied like that, she did not resist in her heart. Because only at that time would she feel the communication between their hearts.

She herself knew that she could no longer help but become dependent on Griffin.

To be honest, she couldn't believe that she would fall in love with someone so quickly. Even though she knew it was wrong, she still wanted to get closer.

[Griffin]: When you are free, let's go together to celebrate that you have finally gotten rid of that damn public opinion.

Wanda could no longer contain her joy, and her little feet shook even more violently.

At this moment, she no longer looked like the nearly invincible Scarlet Witch, but a little girl.

[Wanda]: The day after tomorrow night, shall we go out for dinner together?

Wanda quickly tapped on her phone's keyboard and sent the message. The reason why she chose the night after tomorrow was because she had a press conference tomorrow that she needed to attend.

Otherwise, she wouldn't want to wait even a moment.

[Griffin]: No problem. See you the day after tomorrow, my little witch.

"Yes!" Wanda clenched her fists sharply and let out a cry of surprise. The day after tomorrow, she would be able to see Griffin. After taking another look at Griffin's photo, she reluctantly put her phone aside.

But unlike before, she fell asleep contentedly, 'Should I confess my true feelings to Griffin?' This was Wanda's last thought before she fell asleep.

On the other side, Griffin also put down his phone at this time.

He've been busy all day today. It's time to take a good rest. He promised to accompany Gwen tomorrow to visit her father.

The next day, early morning.

Ding! Dong!

The copper bell on the oak door of the English-style coffee shop on a street in New York City rang slightly.

A familiar figure appeared in the store.

"Griffin, my dear old friend, I miss you so much!" Uncle Crewe, who was wiping the table, saw Griffin appear and greeted him happily.

"Uncle Crewe, I think you don't miss me, you miss the money in my pocket!" Griffin sat down in a familiar chair, smiled, and started to tease.

"How can you say that? I think you are a very interesting person." Although Uncle Crewe was deeply troubled by what he said, he still waved his hand and continued, "What would you like to drink today?"

"Let's keep it the same as before." Griffin said casually. After a while, Uncle Crewe placed the Blue Mountain coffee in front of Griffin.

[Ding! You tasted the premium Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee!]

[You have been rewarded with 100,000 US dollars!]

The TV hanging on the wall was playing a news report.

-Last night, someone reported that the underground emperor Kingpin was beaten and seriously ininjured! At present, our station is still paying attention to this incident!

"The media today is really bold. They even dare to spread rumors about Kingpin. Is there anyone in New York who dares to touch Kingpin?" Uncle Crewe stroked his dense beard and cursed angrily.

"The Underground Emperor..." Griffin glanced at the news and turned his attention back to the swirling coffee.

"You also think it's unreasonable, right?" Uncle Crewe returned to the front desk and laughed loudly.

Griffin smiled and didn't say anything but looked out the door from time to time. He didn't stop stirring with the silver spoon until a beautiful figure appeared from the window.

As the oak door was pushed open, sunlight poured into the store, and that energetic figure walked in. This person full of youth and liveliness was none other than Gwen.

She was wearing a British-style light white plaid coat. She quickened her pace as she came in front of Griffin.

The wind was mixed with the scent of orange perfume.

"Griffin." Gwen raised the corner of her mouth and greeted Griffin.

"You look so beautiful today!" Griffin was amazed by Gwen's dress and did not hesitate to praise her.

"Thanks." Meeting Griffin's direct gaze, Gwen put her hands behind her back nervously, her mind full of yesterday's scenes. She had been impulsive yesterday and acted boldly.

"Uncle Crewe, give me a cup of Bond coffee!" Griffin shouted at Uncle Crewe, then looked at Gwen with a smile, "Sit down first, the coffee here is delicious!"

As a veteran in the world of love, he knew very well that in many cases, he shouldn't ask but should simply make the decision himself.

This could further enhance his charm.

"Um." Gwen carefully sat down opposite Griffin.

"You weren't so reserved yesterday. You were much braver than you are now." Looking at Gwen's expression, Griffin couldn't help but tease her.

"I..." Gwen's face flushed instantly. She looked at the coffee that had been served and quickly picked it up to take a sip. But it was so hot that she couldn't help but gasp. She lowered her head. After all, she knew she had been too impulsive.

Although Griffin was indeed handsome, her actions had been quite forward.

"I won't tease you anymore. After we finish our coffee, let's go to the hospital to visit Mr. Stacy." Instead of continuing to tease Gwen, Griffin got down to business.

"Then... the instruments and equipment..." Gwen had just noticed that Griffin didn't bring any equipment with him.

"No equipment needed, just going to check things out first!" Griffin shook his head.

"Just going to check things out?" Gwen felt a little disappointed. She had thought Griffin had the skills to treat her father. Because Griffin had already surprised her so many times...

Saint John's Hospital, Queens.

This was the best hospital in Queens, and people came and went every day.

"Gwen! This way!" As soon as they arrived in the hospital corridor, Gwen's mother, Helen, called out to her. She had been waiting there since early that morning.
