American Comics: The Law of Strength
Chapter 133
When Peter and Gwen returned to the Bernano family mansion and were taken to the "party" venue set up by the long-awaited butler, the welcome banquet had already begun for a while, and Diane himself was holding a goblet in his hand, his cheeks were red, and he had obviously entered the state.
It can be seen that Diane also meant to celebrate this successful operation by welcoming Peter and Wanda, and the Pietro brothers and sisters back to the dinner, which was attended by only a few people.
Gwen had thought that they would only hold this party in the villa where a few people were staying, just like when Wanda and Pietro had just arrived, but there would be some new arrangements, such as a long table in the lobby filled with carefully cooked food, a large banner high up the hall with words like welcome home, and a lot of streamers hanging around, and then free drinks at your disposal.
It was also the most luxurious body Gwen could ever imagine.
However, Diane showed Gwen what is called trench inhumanity this time.
Although no one except Peter was allowed near the main mansion, this rule is now useless, after all, in this period of turmoil, especially after the mansion was attacked by Fisk, the Bernano family who was willing to return to the mansion was almost the only one who was willing to return to live in the mansion, most of the clansmen had their own luxurious homes outside, and most people still wanted to live in a place they could control if there was no social need or were summoned by Diane.
Even Diane's father rarely lives in his master bedroom because he has to go around, especially since he has to deal with the Vatican's papal election, and he has not been seen in the mansion for nearly two months.
Therefore, Diane no longer cared about this rule and directly placed the meeting venue in the banquet hall of the Bernano family.
At this time, the banquet hall, which had not been used for nearly a year, had been decorated with golden splendor, and the broken diamonds set on the huge chandelier worth tens of millions and the egg-sized gemstone at the highest point in the center of the chandelier were shining brilliantly.
The huge arched windows of the banquet hall are all open, and the intricate patterns inlaid on the edges of the arched long windows in the moonlight reflect a soft glow.
The comfortable summer breeze after the rain blows in, and the air is mixed with the cold stream deep in the forest and the green smell of the trees, which makes the banquet hall a little more vibrant.
The huge long table in the banquet hall is naturally also filled with all kinds of delicacies, and the chef team of more than thirty people is busy in the huge kitchen for the food that may just be used as a decoration, and one after another exquisite food is brought to the table, and then the food that has not been passively taken a bite but the temperature is no longer "unedible" is withdrawn as it is.
And on the stage of the banquet hall, there is even a second-rate band that was hired by Diane improvised and urgently, although it is second-rate, but it is just not famous enough, and it is only a matter of time before this band squeezes into the first line in terms of strength alone.
But now they are completely reduced to the accompaniment of KTV, playing various songs according to Diane's request.
It was all set up just for a welcome party with only seven people, but now it should be eight people attending.
Gwen held the little one and stared blankly at this party that was beyond his imagination, but everyone else focused their attention on the little one in Gwen's arms.
And she was obviously very curious about everything after just a few hours of "birth", and at this time she was even more excited to prove her bloodline, as if to prove her blood to everyone, she immediately struggled to jump out of Gwen's arms and performed for everyone what is called "going to the house to reveal the tiles." "
I saw her little fat legs move quickly, a few steps to the wall, and then ran along the wall step by step to the ceiling, and finally stopped in front of the egg-sized gem in front of the chandelier, this "star" that was close to the black cat was a little moved to make this little guy very excited, she reached for it but then was shaken by the light to her eyes, "quack" and her head fell to the ground, and before everyone exclaimed, she was stuck by Gwen a spider silk and pulled back into her arms.
And the little one was obviously not frightened in the slightest, she clapped her little hands with excitement on her face, as if she wanted to do it again, but everyone couldn't keep calm.
The similar appearance of the two almost did not need to be recognized by everyone, and this similar ability almost confirmed everyone's conjecture, and everyone's eyes began to bubble up with gossip, especially Diane, her eyes almost lit up, she looked back and forth at Gwen a few times and then looked at Peter with an innocent face on the side, and then asked with a smile:
"Could it be that your physiology has changed since you turned into a ghost spider? Wouldn't you have gone somewhere to secretly lay an egg and now finally hatch it? "
Although it is a joke, Diane is really curious about how these two guys hide this seamlessly, after all, the ghost spider is almost dangling above New York all year round, and she has all the information of Gwen since birth, this time Gwen will actually bring a little guy to appear is really beyond her expectations.
Wanda and Pietro are more realistic, they calculate Gwen's age after estimating the age of the little one, and then subtract ...
The cold gaze of the two shone on Peter, and the favorability that had just risen was gone, and the eyes of the two of them were full of words, and Peter didn't even need to recognize it to know that what was written on it must be scum.
And Felicia stared at the little guy who rolled down from Gwen's arms and ran around in a daze, not knowing whose shadow she saw from her.
Gwen didn't have the strength to explain, her eyes were now filled with those exquisite foods, she first put a burger specially prepared for her to her mouth and took a bite, and then said vaguely:
"My physiology...'Ahhhhh And ordinary people completely...'Ahhh! 'Same! She's not mine...'Ahhh! 'Child! She just...'Ahhh! ’"
Diane looked at Gwen's difficult defense and shook her head with one hand, then pressed her index finger against Gwen's lips.
"You better finish first... This movement is really..."
Halfway through the conversation, Diane obviously realized something again, and she turned her head in annoyance, and sure enough, she saw that the band had stopped playing, and the four of them were looking at the little one running around in amazement.
She looked at the butler who was serving on the side, who immediately noticed, took out the checkbook and walked towards several people, while the others did not pay attention to the matter, their attention was all focused on the little guy who had just appeared, they faintly surrounded Peter, who was almost immediately sent to the cusp of Gwen in place.
And Gwen did not defend Peter, she immediately sat on the edge of the dining table, she stuffed the rest of the burger into her mouth, and then stretched like a cat, lazy and relaxed, and then she admired Peter's predicament while picking snacks from her side, along with Peter's innocent eyes and constant distress signals She not only did not have the slightest intention of coming forward to help, but showed a bad smile with a bit of evil, but the smile was still cute.
Instead, Felicia stared at the little one running around, and from time to time took care of Gwen for her.
After painstakingly explaining the beginning and end of the matter, Peter walked to Gwen in the half-believing eyes of several people, looking at Gwen covering his mouth with a strange smile of "Kokoko", Peter who was originally a little unhappy was also brought with a smile, and then Peter also leaned on the edge of the dining table, the two sat and stood one by one, side by side watching Felicia chase the little guy around.
Before Peter and Gwen returned, Diane could barely keep the atmosphere cold after welcoming Wanda and Pietro, but at this time the arrival of the little one brought a flashpoint to the party, and even Felicia, who had been silent and cold like a dummy recently, was interested.
And the topic of everyone naturally revolves around the little one.
After learning that this little guy was the product of an evil plan and was a clone of Gwen, Diane offered to adopt the little guy without Peter and Gwen asking, and then everyone started a discussion about how to raise the child, but helplessly everyone present was a group of children, the average age was only about eighteen years old, and most of the knowledge that could be discussed was only what they saw on TV or in magazines.
But Wanda was still chattering excitedly, she carefully described what kind of life to give this child, and even seemed to have a complete plan, she was even thinking about what kind of bedtime stories she should tell this child in the future.
Until Felicia came to the crowd with the little one in her arms, she asked the most crucial question while carefully tearing the bread into crumbs and soaking it in milk to feed the little one.
"So what should her name be?" Although she is derived from Gwen's genes, we can't always call her little Gwen, right? "
However, as soon as Felicia's words fell, Peter replied without hesitation:
"Medey Parker!"
The name had been in Peter's mind almost as soon as he saw the little guy "flying around the wall".
This is both a tribute and, in a sense, a meme.
Although Mei Dai Parker and the little guy's "mother" are completely different in the original comic, they also have many similarities, such as they were also born with spider superpowers, and they used it handily, in addition to their personalities, they can also see a lot of similarities, the same liveliness, the same naughty, the same adventurous spirit.
So letting this little guy bear this name is also a small memorial to the little girl who will not be born in this universe.
Although Peter had a lot of thoughts in his mind, in the eyes of everyone, he had blurted out his thoughts almost after Felicia had just asked the question, and it looked like he had been thinking about it for a long time.
"To be honest... I kind of doubt that Miles Walt made up the thing..."
Diane craned her chin and looked at Peter.
"Not only did I think of my name a long time ago, but I even instantly put my last name on it... Peter, although I once said to make your belly bigger, I didn't expect your operation to be more advanced. "
Diane !!
Peter now wants to find something to block Diane's mouth immediately, Peter has not yet made up his mind how to deal with the relationship with Gwen, so he tried in every possible way to divert the topic from the topic between him and Gwen, but did not expect to be driven back by Diane with a sharp turn.
Although in the factory, the question "What is the relationship between the two of you" asked by Harry was confused by Peter because of the appearance of the little one, but the question has been asked after all, although Gwen has never spoken, but anyone can see that she is also seeking the answer to this question, so now she still owes Gwen an answer...
Peter turned his head a little stiffly, and sure enough, he saw Gwen's pursed lips and rosy face, but she immediately showed a relieved smile, incomparably beautiful, and then her white palm thumb and middle finger lightly clasped, and the tail finger was slightly cocked, against Peter.
"Bang!"
There was a crisp sound in Peter's head, and after completing the small "punishment", Gwen hummed a song and walked to the stage, walking towards the few second-rate stars who were at a loss with one check and one contract.
And Diane looked at Gwen's back, and the light in her eyes was great.
"Hmm~ who is this new guy? I like her~"
Compared with the previous Gwen, who did not even dare to confirm the other party's intentions, obviously possessing extraordinary strength but still fearful, Gwen, who almost emitted light in front of her, was obviously very suitable for Diane's appetite, she patted Peter's shoulder covering her head and quipped:
"Have you been provoked?"
Peter showed a wry smile, he vaguely felt that his harem dream was leaving him, and if it went on like this, I am afraid that he would not choose to raid the girl, but he would be guided by the rhythm of Gwen's strategy.
And Gwen lightly stepped onto the stage and clapped his hands, waking up a few musicians who were still confused, and these people looked at the real body of the famous ghost Spider-Man with some surprise.
In the past, it would be uneasy for anyone to detect Gwen's true identity under her mask.
That mask was not only her logo, her badge, but also the boundary between her normal life and her extraordinary hero, a boundary she had feared to be broken.
But now, she's no longer afraid to take off the mask.
Secrets only become secrets if they are not well prepared and not understood, but now she can finally stop caring about other people's attacks and opinions, especially Jameson.
She already has a place that is willing to tolerate her whether she is right or wrong, a hero who is willing to help her escape at any time, and is willing to protect her behind her, willing to be her hero.
And she was no longer driven by Peter's last wishes to carry out those heroic acts, she did it only because she wanted to.
So that mask can no longer fully represent her, she is Gwen, she is also Ghost Spider-Man, and these two are no longer separated individuals, both are her, both are this Gwen in front of her.
At this moment, she really became a superhero, but unlike other Spider-Man, she did not have the belief and slogan of "the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility", she was just a girl next door who had extraordinary abilities and wanted to use this ability to do some good deeds.
"Hello, I'm Gwen, and... I'm Ghost Spider-Man. "
Gwen introduced herself lightly, and then after looking at several musicians one by one, she apologized to the drummer, then took his place, and after she lightly pounded the drum, the other musicians reacted that she wanted to play with several people.
Just as several people hesitated, Gwen showed a confident smile, and then raised her drumsticks, and without waiting for everyone's reaction, she struck a rhythm as fierce as a storm, and the surface of the black ring on her hand instantly rippled in circles, but after showing a painful appearance, she quickly adapted to this rhythm, and even began to dance quietly with Gwen's drum hammer, and several musicians were also driven by this rhythm, they threw away the checks and contracts in their hands, and touched their instruments.
And everyone in the audience watched Gwen, who was playing in Ling Ran's posture on the stage, and slapped his palms and shook his body according to the rhythm.
The girl on the stage was extremely shining at this moment, and Diane stared at the stage with intoxicated eyes, and then looked at the dark scenery outside the window, she raised the wine glass in her hand and said with some regret:
"I knew I should have prepared a fireworks show, hey... Only drinking, not firing cannons, and the kind Diane is also irritable..."
It can be seen that Diane also meant to celebrate this successful operation by welcoming Peter and Wanda, and the Pietro brothers and sisters back to the dinner, which was attended by only a few people.
Gwen had thought that they would only hold this party in the villa where a few people were staying, just like when Wanda and Pietro had just arrived, but there would be some new arrangements, such as a long table in the lobby filled with carefully cooked food, a large banner high up the hall with words like welcome home, and a lot of streamers hanging around, and then free drinks at your disposal.
