I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 290 Time Management Master

Clearly, this is Riley from the "future timeline" who has finished all the cleanup work, completely drained the value of his "villain" identity, and returned to his normal personality!

Incidentally, Riley, who is now appearing before Jade and the others and helping to seal the Holy Lord, does not actually belong to the current timeline.

Because in this timeline, Riley is currently being tortured at the Sawama BBQ restaurant recommended by Tony, along with Steve and Happy.

Yes, it was torture.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, or if it was fate...

This barbecue restaurant is actually the same one Tony suggested going to at the end of the original Avengers movie, after the Battle of New York.

Leaving aside the influence of the actors' personal realities—for example, the actor playing Captain America, because he was filming another show and had a beard, relying entirely on special effects to maintain a smooth face, so he couldn't eat and could only support his face with his hand while watching others eat—if...

Just by watching them eat without saying a word, even Steve, who survived the extremely cruel environment of the battlefields of World War II where food and clothing were scarce, would rather stare at the food in front of him in a daze than take a bite, you can tell how "wonderful" the food at this restaurant is!

Not to mention that his very soul comes from Riley, who hails from the land of foodies!

That tasted absolutely bland, so delicious that it made me question the meaning of life!

However, another virtue of this nation of food lovers is cherishing food.

Even though Riley completely resisted the food in front of her, frowning deeply, she still forced herself to eat it, clinging to the good teachings that every grain of rice is hard-earned. With each bite, she mentally ranted about how wasteful the ingredients were!

It was this experience that caused Riley, who had just resolved the issue of the real and fake Obadiah and was feeling much calmer, to become irritable and impulsive again.

Unfortunately, Riley had already apprehended most of New York City's criminals. Those who had narrowly escaped capture were all rushing to surrender, fearing Spider-Man's wrath. This meant that, for the time being, even if Riley wanted to repeat his old tricks and stage a double-cross to vent his anger, he simply couldn't find a suitable target!

Left with no other choice, Riley had to travel through time back to the point in time when he, Steve, and Happy went to be "punished."

Furthermore, based on the principle of "waste utilization" [crossed out].

He wanted to prevent Kingpin and his associates from plotting against him while he was eating.

They chose to target Kingpin and others, using them as free punching bags.

This also explains why Riley, who was influenced by Peter and had become somewhat talkative during fights, was so decisive and ruthless in this operation, without any intention of teasing or playing tricks on them!

Well, I just don't know...

If Kingpin and his crew could know from beyond the grave that their small villainous alliance was wiped out so quickly because that Sawama barbecue restaurant was "too good at cooking"...

I wonder how interesting the expressions on the faces of these three "lucky ones"—any one of them could be considered a BOSS-level figure on their own?

But, in conclusion...

There are at least three Rileys in the current timeline.

Riley, who is "suffering" alongside Steve and Happy at the Sawama BBQ restaurant.

He killed Kingpin and Mr. Negative, and helped Jade and the others seal away Riley, the master of the underworld.

And then there's Riley, who appears now, having traveled back in time from some point in the future to this timeline, responsible for spoiling and caring for the kids, and accompanying Jade and Felicia on their travels and adventures.

"Yay! I knew you were the best—!"

Of course, Xiaoyu didn't care about all that.

All she needed to know was that even though Riley was busy fighting crime, he could still find time to play with her, and that was enough.

Therefore, when she saw the second Riley appear, Jade was only slightly taken aback before jumping up and down with a big smile, and kissing the side of Riley's mask.

Then, Felicia and Riley each grabbed one of their arms. Amidst the laughter of the chattering girls, they quickly stepped through the dimensional wall they had passed through earlier, the other end of which connected to the place where the Holy Lord was hiding.

"Let's hurry, let's go! I checked online before, and there are still noodle shops open even in the early hours of the morning! Let's go first..."
