"Hmph."
Black Cat Felicia scoffed, thinking that the 'poor' he referred to was herself…
Levi didn't press the issue. He knew it was hard to change a person.
It was like the saying goes, never try to change others.
Especially adults, whose views are already solidified.
So he asked, "Why are you working for Kingpin?"
"When did I ever work for Kingpin?"
Black Cat Felicia immediately tilted her head to look at him.
Even at this moment, she still appeared somewhat graceful, as composed as a cat.
"Norman Osborn was just too arrogant; he wanted all of New York to know. I was taking it for myself."
Hearing her words, Levi immediately said, "That's stealing."
"How is that stealing? You all saw me take it, can that be called stealing?"
Black Cat Felicia sneered.
She jumped down from the jar and walked towards Levi.
She reached out her hand, seemingly intending to tease Levi.
"Now that you've found me, what are you going to do? Hand me over to the police?"
As she spoke, she wasn't being honest, her finger hooked towards Levi's chin.
Swift saw this and directly grabbed her hand.
"Don't come any closer."
"What if I insist? I still want to get up close and personal with your man."
Black Cat Felicia smiled.
Although she was saying such provocative words, her expression wasn't flirtatious.
Clearly, she was doing it on purpose.
If it were 2B, she wouldn't get angry.
But Swift's expression turned cold, making her, who already seemed aloof, even more like an iceberg.
Swift immediately tightened her grip on the Black Cat's hand, while Black Cat Felicia took the opportunity to entangle herself, attempting to directly take Swift down.
But she hadn't expected Swift to do a backflip, directly throwing her away.
"This is unscientific!"
Black Cat Felicia exclaimed in surprise as she landed.
But giving her no chance, the three women surrounded her.
"I didn't want to fight you all."
She wanted to explain, but they weren't listening anymore.
Swift said, "Capture her."
The three attacked together.
At home, Swift had trained them in 'combined attacks'.
She didn't expect it to actually be used now.
Even without using weapons, Black Cat Felicia was no match for them.
The Black Cat tried to escape, pushing 2B, but couldn't move her.
"So heavy!"
She was a little surprised, and then she was locked down by Eve, directly thrown to the ground.
"Bang!"
"Ugh!"
The Black Cat's hands were both restrained, and she was pinned down like that.
With a 'clang', claws appeared on her gloves, but she couldn't reach anyone.
"Don't resist anymore."
Levi came over and used his finger to lift Black Cat Felicia's chin.
Just like the action she had tried to do earlier.
However, Levi believed that only he could tease others, not the other way around.
Now, the Black Cat indeed looked fragile.
Levi's thumb rested on her lips, and he whispered, "Although you are not Kingpin's subordinate, I am a good person and cannot just let you act freely in New York."
"What do you want to do?"
Black Cat Felicia could only speak, even as her lips brushed against Levi's thumb, almost taking it in.
"How about working for me?"
Levi spoke.
Having such a 'Boss thief' could sometimes be very necessary.
This made the Black Cat immediately struggle: "Cats love freedom."
"I'm not trying to imprison you."
Levi immediately said, "I just need your help sometimes, and I will pay you."
As he spoke, Levi patted her face: "You don't want to keep having a criminal record, do you?"
"The arrest warrants on you are no less than any supervillain, which prevents you from living a normal life. As long as you help me, I can clear your criminal record."
He made it sound as simple as clearing stars in 'Los Santos'.
But for Red Queen, it was indeed not difficult.
As expected, Black Cat Felicia was somewhat moved.
For someone like her, even if she sometimes wanted to live a normal life, the arrest warrants on her prevented her from changing.
What people like her lacked was a chance to turn over a new leaf.
And she was an 'anti-hero', not a villain.
"I agree."
Black Cat Felicia seemed to have submitted.
But cats are very difficult to tame.
Anyone who owns a cat knows that a cat won't see you as its Boss; it will only see you as the litter scooper…
And Levi enjoyed the process of taming, so he had Eve release the Black Cat.
"Boss."
Eve didn't let go immediately, but wanted to tell Levi that it was dangerous.
"Don't worry, a cat can't threaten me."
Levi smiled.
Only then did Eve release her hand.
And Black Cat Felicia indeed was only feigning weakness; she pushed up with both hands and pounced from the ground onto Levi.
"Don't come any closer, or I'll hurt him."
Black Cat Felicia immediately shouted.
"I just want freedom!"
This made Levi smile. He wasn't worried and said, "What do you think freedom is? Is being able to steal whatever you want called freedom?"
"That's called crime. If you continue to be so stubborn, no one can save you."
"Why can you save me?"
Black Cat Felicia hated that tone.
"Because I know what you're thinking. You also hate this life. You should have your own life, not be like your father."
Levi turned around and met Black Cat Felicia's gaze.
Black Cat Felicia tried to subdue him, but was surprised to find that she couldn't move.
"You… what did you do to me?"
Fear finally appeared in her eyes.
"Don't worry, it's just that your body is temporarily disobedient."
Levi smiled. Telepathy was like that.
Even Magneto had to wear his helmet at all times, fearing being controlled.
Facing a telepath, unless you also have telepathy, you will be afraid.
"This is your last chance. Work for me, and I will consider clearing your criminal record."
Levi tugged at his collar.
Swift and Eve immediately came over to protect him.
This made Black Cat Felicia complain: You don't need protection at all!
This time, the defiance in Felicia's eyes finally dissipated a little.
She looked at Levi and said, "Can you guarantee it?"
"Of course, you're not that important to me anyway."
Levi smiled and shook his head.
People are afraid of thinking they are too important.
In reality, everyone is the same; life goes on the same without anyone.
Hearing Levi's words, Black Cat Felicia felt somewhat unconvinced instead.
"I hope you can keep your promise."
As soon as she finished speaking, her body recovered.
This made her sigh in relief, finally feeling like her body was her own again. This feeling was great.
Levi extended his hand towards her: "Hand over the necklace."
"I took that."
Black Cat Felicia was a little defiant.
Levi glared at her, and only then did she hand it over.
For a Boss thief, if it was taken right in front of them, how could it be called stealing?
Then, she watched as Levi put the necklace on Swift to try it on.
"It really looks good."
Levi praised.
Black Cat Felicia's eyes widened. She was a woman too!
