American Comics: The Law of Strength

Meanwhile, the Bernano family territory is busy.

But the busy center is the desk that belongs to the head of the Bernano family, and now binds Diane to it.

At this time, the room that would have been no more than four people was full, everyone was busy with the work at hand, although the number of people was unusually harmonious, they quickly completed the work at hand without interfering with each other, and the important decision would be immediately submitted to Diane for judgment.

Everyone is as efficient and accurate as a program in a computer.

At some point, there were several more TVs above the study, and although they were muted, many people were paying close attention to the information in the TV picture with headphones.

In the picture, Tony Stark is leaning on the podium very casually, leisurely sitting on the sofa in his living room, he draped a sophisticated suit worth more than 20,000 yuan like a coat, holding a burger king burger in his hand, he dressed himself up as a homeless man in the most formal clothes, and then turned this rather formal press conference into a hippie party.

Almost at the same time as the Burger King logo appeared in the picture, a young man wearing headphones quickly picked up a tablet and quickly operated it, and within two minutes, Burger King's stock began to gradually rise.

At this time, Tony Stark was chewing the food in his mouth, and several people accompanied him.

As the actual leader of Stark Industries, Obadiah Steiney was sitting next to Tony with a serious face, and he looked up and down at the small wounds on Tony's face from time to time, and the expression on his face became more and more cold.

Sharon, who had changed into a formal suit, also had a serious expression, and she seemed to have sensed that Tony seemed to be about to make some big move.

The only one who couldn't see the expression was Peter, who was standing on the side with half of his face covered by a black helmet, and he also stared at Tony, but his expression was noticeably more relaxed, as if he had foreseen the direction of things.

Tony first turned his gaze to Obadiah Steiney, he seemed to be thanking and apologizing, and after Tony spoke, Obadiah Stanney was slightly stunned, and then the hard expression instantly loosened and softened, and he patted Tony's shoulder with his hand, as if he wanted to pull Tony into his arms, but he was afraid of touching Tony's wound.

And Tony turned his gaze to everyone, he told his story like a bard telling a fantasy story in a tavern, his expression was vivid, his eyes were sincere, he confided words purely from the heart, even if the TV did not have the slightest sound, just looking at his expression, many people would be infected by the faint sadness he emitted.

Then he put aside the half-eaten burger in his hand, and then he stood up as if he had finally let go of some kind of burden, he stepped onto the podium, and then stood straight in front of the microphone, his appearance did not change, but his temperament changed from the homeless man just now to a scarred warrior.

The faint sadness that surrounded him dissipated, and in its place was a certain firm, powerful emotion.

As if overly emotional, he waved his hands and announced one of the biggest decisions of his life to the camera.

And several people around him also changed their faces instantly, Obadiah Steiney was first surprised, and then stood up abruptly, rushed to Tony and grabbed the microphone, while Sharon slapped her head, and Peter watched Tony quietly the whole time, and finally looked meaningfully at the camera, and then the camera was blocked by the crowd standing up excitedly.

Diane smiled back at Peter in the picture, and then she moved her fingers as if she were warming up before exercise, and shook her neck from side to side, and before she could complete the set of exercise phone ringing as she expected.

"Jingle bells."

The phone rang as if urging, making a sharp and noisy sound, and the new personal bodyguard and assistant confirmed the call information and sent the phone into Diane's hand, while whispering to Diane, "It's a call from the Securities Regulatory Bureau." "

After hearing this, Diane looked at the legal counsel sitting at the other end of the study, and the man immediately said in an extremely clear and steady tone:

"They may slow things down, but they don't have the right to stop you, it's a legitimate transaction, you have the right to do it, and your actions are fully protected by the law."

Diane listened and pondered for two seconds before connecting the phone, and after a short conversation, the voice on the other end of the phone seemed a little angry and corrupted, but Diane showed a smile as if she had succeeded in a prank, she deliberately shook the phone before hanging up, as if saying goodbye to the person on the other end of the phone, but she didn't care if the other party could understand the meaning of the wind.

Then the beautiful female assistant with burgundy hair sent another document and placed it upright on the empty desk.

Diane understood the content with just a glance, and after writing her name on it and stamping the seal representing the head of the family, she waved her hand to let the assistant take the document away, and at the same time did not forget to instruct:

"Tell them, about that batch of bonds... Let them strike immediately, I can accept a certain loss, the bottom line is... Nine Mao II. "

"I see."

The assistant repeated Diane's order, and after Diane nodded, she relayed the message.

In this study, only the head of the Bernano family's trading team gathered, and outside this study, from New York to the distant port in the East, the traders belonging to the Bernano family were carrying out the orders sent from this study.

This work lasted for several hours until the scheduled bell rang in the room.

The needle is pointed to four o'clock sharp, which is the time when the stock market closes, and all trading ends at this time.

Sending the last signed document, Diane looked at the empty table and nodded in satisfaction, feeling that she had probably completely adapted to the work of the family patriarch.

The people in the study quickly sorted out the equipment and materials in their hands and bowed their heads to Diane, and then left without hesitation, as the leaders of the Bernano family trading team, they still need to continue to clean up the aftermath and prepare for the next day's work.

Diane, on the other hand, shouted "I'm so tired" and took a goblet from her assistant.

The assistant quietly took a wine bottle and silently filled the goblet in Diane's hand with an amber liquid reflecting a faint fluorescence, and then the assistant opened the window with interest, and then exited the room, allowing Diane to enjoy the moment alone.

In the open window, the comfortable early summer breeze poured into the room, Diane brought the wine glass to her lips, took a small sip, but a strong wind suddenly blew from the side, a piece of lost paper danced with the wind, and then Diane stared at the fluttering of the paper as if exploring the flow of the wind, and when the paper finally landed, a pair of pale pink small ballet shoes suddenly appeared next to the paper.

Diane did not panic at all, but raised her beautifully shaped eyebrows and carefully followed the pair of ballet shoes to follow the black wrapped legs softly showing the thin legs all the way up, sliding the high and towering plump chest, and finally landed on the delicate facial features like a doll.

It's just that the expression of the "doll" is extremely unpleasant, she hugged her chest with both hands, wanting to learn Diane's appearance to look at the other party, so that she also understood the feeling of being licked by the gaze all over her body, but she only tried for two seconds and had to give up.

"I really can't be as perverted as you!"

Gwen complained coldly, and then opened Diane's wine cabinet, pulled out the champagne that Diane was enjoying, and poured himself a glass.

Since Peter traveled to Afghanistan, the two girls have occasionally held small parties, or girls' nights, together.

Although Gwen is not a member of the Bernano family and nominally cannot approach the main house, basically Diane takes the initiative to find Gwen, but occasionally breaks this rule when Gwen is in a bad mood and secretly comes to Diane to spit bitter water.

Diane, on the other hand, did not have the slightest anger in the face of Gwen's cold complaint, but laughed out loud, she had expected Gwen to take the initiative to find herself to vent her grievances when Peter sent a message that she had completed her mission and was about to return, this time only depends on when Gwen will find out Peter has returned.

Given that the news that Tony Stark appeared at the press conference with Batman is probably well known, she feels that Gwen should almost show up.

Hearing Diane's laughter, Gwen's anger rose to a higher level, and she poured the champagne in her glass into her mouth in one breath, and then said unpleasantly:

"You're my best friend, can you not hate it like a few of my other friends?!"

"Huh? I? I came here with a wish? "

Diane thought for a moment before suddenly realizing that before the rescue of Diane's father, she felt guilty for letting the two of them participate in this dangerous rescue operation, so she asked Peter and Gwen to propose their wishes to herself, she had promised that she would satisfy them as long as she lived to reclaim the family assets, and Gwen made a wish to become her friend.

I'm really a good friend who made a wish...

Diane was stunned for a long time, and finally sighed.

"Well, a promise is a promise, I'm your confidant right now, I promise to satisfy you, even if you want to play some harmless lesbian games."

"Poof!!"

Gwen spewed out the remaining champagne in his mouth, then wiped his mouth sharply, slammed the glass hard but not let it shatter on the desk, and then turned to leave, and Diane opened her hands to stop the other party.

"Okay, okay, I'm not kidding."

Then Diane hurriedly pressed Gwen on the sofa, and then personally poured a glass of champagne and handed it to Gwen's hand, and then got a square silk cloth the size of a napkin from nowhere, while pretending to wipe it on the spotless desk, and then revealed a tired look that had gone through the vicissitudes of the world.

"Little girl, if you have any troubles, you can say come and see, I invite you to this cup, sisters cover you."

Diane's contrasting appearance and the incompatible lines finally made Gwen strained, and laughed out loud, but the next second she saw the news rolling on the TV screen above her head, and the two hosts were talking to a picture, and it was Tony Stark who was giving a speech, and next to him, Peter was looking directly at the camera.

Then Gwen's face darkened again, and said leisurely:

"If only I could be like you."

"Huh? Same as me? Do you want endless jobs or the quality of sleep that needs alcohol relief to fall asleep? "

Diane said as she balled up the silk cloth and smashed it into Gwen's head.

Gwen took the wrinkled flannel and shook her head, she looked into Peter's eyes on the screen and asked in a low voice:

"You were the first to know all his plans, only you know where he went and what he did, and I don't know anything, and now..."

Gwen looked at the study, which was still neat and tidy, but could vaguely see that it had been busy.

"And now you're the only one who can help him."

"Help?"

Diane sneered, and then said helplessly:

"Now what we're doing and helping is completely out of line, he's just gaining our trust so that we can help him implement a bigger plan, he doesn't want me to know, he has to let me know his plan, and it seems to me that he's an inherently awkward, or somewhat twisted guy, and if you don't push him, he'll hide things that he doesn't think you need to know for the rest of his life."

Diane then stopped Gwen with a wave before she could ask a question.

"But none of this has anything to do with your problems, your problems are actually the same as Peter's, even more serious than Peter, you have complained to me more than once during this time about Peter's problems, but you have never talked to Peter in person, you just think that he does not need your help."

In fact, what you should do now is to repeat these words to Peter again, if you just want to vent your emotions I can listen to you complain all night, but if you want to seek advice, then I only have one advice, that is, don't be a riddler, have something to say. "

Diane gently shook the wine glass, and the amber "mirror" shattered and turned into a wave, while Gwen held her own wine glass, although there was no wave in her glass, but her heart was turbulent.

"You, like Peter, are always worried about what hasn't happened yet, but Peter has a basis, at least a lot of what he said has indeed come true, but you are different, your worries are unfounded, you dare not make a choice because you can't afford the consequences, because you are not ready not to be understood, so you remain silent, and this silence becomes a secret."

Diane sighed and drained her glass of champagne.

"Silence is a sequel of fear, so Gwen... What exactly have you been afraid of? "

Gwen silently put the unsipped-up champagne back on the desk, and then shot out spider silk, and Diane watched the milky white silk thread tighten, did not continue to ask, but slowed down her tone and asked softly:

"You want to continue your heroic activity? There will be a rainstorm today, maybe you can take a day off, I can throw a small party to welcome Peter and them back, maybe you can talk to him in person? "

Gwen's body trembled slightly, and then she clenched the spider silk.

"I'll be right back... I'm just going to go out and cool down..."

After saying that, Gwen rushed out of the window like a white sword, and outside the window, although it was still too early for the sun to set, the thick dark clouds that obscured it filled the sky.

And in the direction Gwen rushed, there was a storm brewing.

Diane, on the other hand, watched silently in the direction Gwen disappeared until there was a slight noise at the door behind her.

The female assistant with burgundy hair looked around a little suspiciously and asked in a low voice:

"Are you okay? Miss? I just heard outsiders. "

Diane gently closed the window, a cute smile on her face, and she walked briskly towards her new assistant.

"Don't worry, I'm just here here, okay, let's get off work, your work today is very good, I think you will be able to turn positive soon, Natasha."

And Natasha looked at an extra wine glass on the desk, her pupils moved slightly, and then showed the same smile as Diane, and responded in a low voice:

"I hope so too."
