Chapter 43 - Chapter 43 Everyone Can Be Uncle Ben

"Ugh!"

Levi rubbed his temple, feeling as if the World was incredibly noisy.

All sorts of sounds poured in, and they were people's inner thoughts.

He sensed everyone's dark side.

For example, someone greeting another person on the surface but cursing them internally.

Or smiling outwardly but secretly swearing in their mind.

If this continued, Levi felt he would become depressed.

No wonder telepaths never casually probe others' minds.

Because it would make them feel despair for the World.

Everyone has a devil in their heart!

But he didn't retract it; instead, he sensed his own strength.

His telepathy could spread over three hundred kilometers, that's a radius!

In other words, he could easily cover the entire New York.

Then came mind control; he could easily control others and probe their minds.

After playing around for a bit, Levi felt a little tired, so he retracted his abilities.

"This should be pretty close to Omega level, right?"

"Hmm, if they're not an enemy, it's best not to easily look into their mind, or you'll be disappointed."

Levi concluded in his mind.

Although telepathy is powerful, it shouldn't be used constantly, or one might become disappointed with this World.

They say the heart is beautiful, but people with beautiful hearts… are too few.

Otherwise, why did the ancients always say to judge by actions, not by intentions?

In the afternoon, Levi directly left.

He rode the bumblebee to the FEAST Homeless Shelter.

This building was considered luxurious in New York; if it weren't for the homeless people coming and going, no one would guess it was a shelter.

At this time, the shelter was distributing free food.

These foods weren't expensive, but the cost per meal for each person was astonishing, and the difference, of course, was profited by the shelter.

"Hahaha, the donut is so delicious."

Levi got out of the car and heard a simple, honest voice.

He twitched his lips and ignored it.

He observed for a moment and came to a conclusion.

That was, the shelter simply couldn't handle the workload.

Homeless people lined up on the street, and many even joined in just for the free food.

Free food, why not take it?

Mei Parker herself was busy running around, breaking a sweat.

After a while, the free food ran out, and the homeless people finally left.

Only then did Levi walk over.

"Let me do it."

He came before Mei and lifted the tables and chairs.

"Mr. Li, how can you do that?"

Mei didn't let go for a moment, her hand resting on Levi's hand.

To be fair, even though Aunt Mei was already in her thirties, she was still in her prime, and her skin was well-maintained, making her quite charming.

It was just a bit dangerous to be her man.

It was easy to hear, 'With great power comes great responsibility'.

"It's fine."

Levi smiled, "Calling me Mr. Li is too formal, just call me by my name."

"This… alright."

Mei agreed; calling him by his name seemed more intimate, which was also a good way to build rapport.

The two chatted while helping the volunteers move things inside.

Levi subtly probed and found that Aunt Mei was not yet remarried at this time, not even having a partner.

"I have a child with me, who would ever want me?"

Mei shook her head repeatedly.

"That's not your child, is it?"

Levi asked.

"Of course, it's my sister's, but they had an accident, so I had to raise the child."

Mei Parker became a little silent when she mentioned this.

Uncle Ben was gone in this World, but everyone could be Uncle Ben…

Levi didn't continue the topic and instead asked, "Why did you call me here?"

Returning to work, Mei's eyes finally showed a hint of sparkle.

"As you can see, the shelter is understaffed, and I want to hire some permanent employees."

She said to Levi.

"These?"

Levi looked at the people currently helping out.

"They are all volunteers, but now there are fewer and fewer volunteers because of the economic crisis."

Mei sighed.

The impact of the economic crisis was significant; although America continuously relied on 'allies' to recover, many people still went to the rooftop.

Under such circumstances, volunteers naturally became fewer and fewer.

Because volunteers at non-profit organizations like this don't get paid…

Otherwise, why would they be called volunteers?

Only Mei and a few other official employees received a salary.

People couldn't even feed themselves, so naturally, they wouldn't want to help others.

Levi said, "You can handle these things as you see fit, I completely trust you, Mei."

These words deeply moved Mei, and she thanked him repeatedly.

Then Mei brought up another matter.

"Levi, I never thought the kind Martin Lee would be a gang leader."

She looked at Levi with charming eyes, but Levi naturally wouldn't say anything out of line.

So Levi also sighed, "I didn't expect it either, I can only say that people have two sides."

Fortunately, Mei didn't care about these things and said, "There are too many gangs in New York. As soon as Martin Lee left, someone else came."

"Oh?"

"It's that Kingpin, the mayoral candidate. He said on TV that only if he is elected can New York be free of gang members, otherwise, New York will become a paradise for gangs. I think he's threatening us to vote for him."

Mei said.

Just recently, to garner votes for himself, Kingpin had already issued threats.

Everyone could see what he meant.

As the underground emperor, making New York better might be difficult, but making New York chaotic was very easy.

And Norman Osborn strongly stated that he would crack down on all gangs and eliminate them all once he took office.

This is very U.S..

Elections are about shouting slogans; whether they can be achieved is another matter, but the slogans must be loud.

The key is that the public actually believes this kind of thing.

The more impressive you sound, the more people believe you, which makes it more like a bragging contest.

This is the benefit of happy education…

Levi actually didn't know about this, so he asked, "Does this affect the shelter?"

"Not really, except for some people who came looking for trouble because of Martin Lee's business at first, but then it was fine."

Mei shook her head.

Those were Martin Lee's enemies, but now the shelter had nothing to do with Martin Lee.

So these gangs quickly left.

Levi nodded, "If anything happens, find me immediately."

"Levi, won't this put you in danger?"

Mei looked at Levi with great concern.

"Don't worry."

Levi then stayed there for a while; the people at the shelter trusted her very much and managed things well.

She was not only beautiful but also capable.

In the afternoon, Levi invited her to dinner together.

Mei shook her head, "I have a child at home, I need to go back and check on him quickly."

"How old is he?"

Levi immediately asked.

"Seven."

Mei replied.

"Can I go see him?"

"This… alright."

Mei was initially worried about what might happen if she invited Levi to her home.

But thinking that there was a child present, Levi probably wouldn't act inappropriately, so she agreed.

The two went to buy pizza and then took it back.

Levi soon met a young Peter Parker.
