Chapter 58: 58 - Young Peter

Even after seeing this scene, Derrick still wasn't able to completely understand what just happened.

Derrick didn't know much about it at first and thought that stealing couriers was a tradition in America.

Delivery personnel often leave packages at customers' doorsteps, which can attract thieves who seize the opportunity to steal them. These individuals are commonly referred to as 'porch pirates'.

Among all forms of crime, being a porch pirate could be said to be easy and comfortable. Being a porch pirate, people could easily make some quick money and they won't be charged for something major like Burglary either. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

The man in front of Derrick was clearly a porch pirate.

However, his luck seemed to be bad. He was caught by the homeowner while stealing the courier.

And the man was obviously an idiot or a passionate young man who has just debuted in this field. It's fine if he was caught, but he still wanted to steal the courier.

'His IQ is non-existent.'

The woman fell to the ground. The man quickly grabbed the box and was about to run, but found Derrick standing right in front of him.

The man immediately took out a knife and waved it wildly while yelling, "Get out of my way, you Asian bitch!"

'Good lord, he just evolved to robbery by using a knife. Is this guy in a rush to pick some soap in the prison?'

BAM~~!

Derrick didn't bother to talk with the monkey and used his next-generation-destroying kick on him.

As he gazed at the young man whose eyes were gradually glazing over, Derrick let out a helpless sigh, feeling as though he too was slowly succumbing to the same path as Thanos.

At the same time, the beautiful woman rose to her feet, pulled the little boy along with her, and expressed her gratitude to Derrick, repeatedly thanking him for his help in putting a stop to the culprit.

"Thank you so much for helping me stop him."

Peter was confused and asked, "What can you do by using your skill of knowledge?"

May smiled and did not interrupt Derrick's nonsense ranting.

In her view, Derrick's words were disguised as those of a superhero, with the intention of motivating Peter to strive for academic excellence and continuous self-improvement. She admired him for his kindness and genuine concern for others.

"For example, through the knowledge you gain, you can create a battle suit that can help you travel to the universe and you can put lasers and weapons on it, so that you can become a superhero with the ability to fight. After that, the bad guys like that won't trouble you anymore." Derrick pointed to the man lying on the ground as an example.

Peter swallowed, imagining himself as a superhero, wearing a battle suit and defeating all bad guys.

Immediately afterwards, he couldn't wait to ask, "But, what should I do to create a powerful battle suit?"

"Oh, don't worry about that part. I have a blueprint of a superhero battle suit here with me."

Derrick blushed slightly but continued to speak passionately, "However, before we can create such an incredible suit, we need to lay a solid foundation of knowledge. Without it, you won't even be able to understand the blueprint, let alone manufacture the battle suit."

"Blueprint?"

"No, that's not the point. Have you heard of the genius man, Tony Stark?"

"Yeah, I have heard about him."

"He could make circuit boards at the age of four, an engine at the age of six, and graduated with the highest grades from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a genius. He could do all these things, thanks to his smart brain and large knowledge reserves."

Derrick looked at Peter and said with an encouraging tone, "In my opinion, you already have a smart brain, so now you just need to gain more knowledge. Who knows, you might just be better than Tony Stark in the future."

Peter then asked anxiously, "Then what should I do right now?"

Derrick showed a sincere smile, "You are still young, so we don't need to be too anxious or spend sleepless nights. Let's start with solving some question books for kids your age."

Aunt May: "..."

Why does she feel that Derrick is really trying to make Peter a superhero?
