American Comics: The Law of Strength
Chapter 22
After leaving the alley, Peter put away Eddie's business card again, but this time it was not as casual as before.
Although Peter does not believe that Eddie can really help in dealing with Fisk, the ability that Eddie has shown is worth noting.
Peter hadn't decided whether to cooperate with him in the future, and he planned to wait until Eddie's news was published before making a decision based on what he posted.
This is also a test.
It's not about whether he can write a good manuscript, but whether he can know what to rewrite and what to hide, as he says.
If he can really keep his promise and only write a story about a mysterious Batman, then Peter will naturally contact him again when he needs it in the future.
But if he is really stupid enough to make big news and write everything out in order to get eyeballs, then naturally there will be no further cooperation.
As for what he would leak, Peter wasn't worried.
All Eddie heard was the deal between Felicia and himself, and for Peter, who didn't believe in the deal at all, even if the content of the deal was really leaked, it would not be affected.
If Felicia's deal is fake, then everything is naturally calm, and if what the black cat said is true, then it is not himself who will bear Fisk's anger.
As for Gwen, she doesn't care, she has long been criticized by the media and is on the cusp, and it is naturally nothing to be involved in a small transaction now.
So if Eddie intends to expose the content of their transaction, not only will it not have the slightest effect on Peter and Gwen, but it will also indirectly help them verify the authenticity of the deal proposed by Felicia.
At that time, Peter does not even need to punish this vile little reporter, Fisk will do it for him.
As for Felicia...
With Peter's understanding of her, this catwoman will never be at the hands of anyone, coupled with her performance in the brief confrontation just now, even if she really has Fisk, she should be able to easily retreat.
And the one who leaked the deal was also an unknown little reporter, and Felicia naturally didn't remember the two of them.
But speaking of trading, Peter remembered the phone that Felicia handed him.
Anyway, now there is a lot of time, Peter simply took out his mobile phone and carefully checked it.
The mobile phone brand is still a giant Nokia in this era.
The model of the phone is very old, belonging to the type where a battery can stand by for two months and can also open walnuts.
This kind of mobile phone naturally has no APP to install, almost only has the most basic functions of the mobile phone, and there is a snake mini game.
Just as Peter was about to take the phone apart to check the internal structure, the phone's screen suddenly lit up and a message popped up.
Peter clicked on the content of the message, and after a cursory glance, his expression became serious. The
text message provided the address of a hotel where Diane's father, Mr. Eric, was being held.
...
...
And on the edge of one neighborhood, Felicia is strolling along the fence in front of her apartment, a mobile phone in her hand and shoving it into her chest, while the words sent successfully appear on the screen that has not yet been extinguished. From time to
time, police officers passed by her, but almost everyone passed her as if they were air.
Only one person glanced at the black cat, but only nodded slightly as if facing a friend.
Felicia also returned with a seductive smile, which made the latter slightly startled, but quickly came back to her senses and fled in the direction of her companion.
And Felicia then took out another mobile phone from her chest and skillfully dialed a number, and just dialed it there came a deep voice.
"You're twenty minutes behind the scheduled deadline." The
reproach on the other end of the phone was obvious, but Felicia didn't care.
"That Batman is very attractive, and I am a little addicted to it."
The other side warned,
"Hmph, Mr. Fisk will not be happy."
"yes, but isn't he always that unhappy look? Tell me Murdoch, you've been with him the longest, have you ever seen him really happy?
Murdoch on the other end of the phone was silent for a few seconds, and instead of answering Felicia's question, he said coldly:
"Report your mission."
The corners of Felicia's mouth curled up, and then she replied boredly.
"What can be wrong? I played with them first, and then passed the news to them in a reasonable way, in fact, I have every chance to get rid of him directly, but who makes you like to challenge a little difficulty.
Murdoch on the other end of the line was not satisfied, and he asked rhetorically:
"They?"
Felicia replied as if she had just remembered:
"Oh~ that little spider also joined in, and she appeared with that Batman, what a cute pair."
Seeing Felicia describe her mistakes so lightly, Murdoch's deep voice was also tinged with anger.
"You should be the first to explain this! If there is a partnership between them, there are likely to be unknown variables, that ghost spider-woman is likely to be recruited by that Diane, if this is the case, we need to change plans!
Catwoman laughed and replied cheerfully like a successful prank:
"That's why Mr. Fisker needs you, and the plan will never change."
But that cute ghost spider just happened to run into us, so you don't have to worry about her.
Besides, our plan was..."
Before Felicia could finish speaking, Murdoch interrupted her rudely.
"Enough! Don't give away this confidential information casually!
After saying that, Murdoch took a few seconds to calm his emotions, and then said lightly:
"I will report to Mr. Fisk truthfully."
However, Felicia hung up the phone without waiting for Murdoch to finish, as if to retaliate for the words he had just interrupted.
Then she hummed a cheerful tune to put her phone in, and then walked lightly into the night.
On the other end of the phone, Murdoch frowned and squeezed the phone in his hand, but finally calmed his anger and put the microphone down.
He took off his sunglasses, his left hand gently kneaded the sides of his nose, and a young man silently appeared next to Murdoch.
And Murdoch seemed to have sensed the presence of the young man, put back on his sunglasses, thought for a moment, and then ordered:
"Get a car, send me to him."
The young man immediately set about getting ready.
But ten minutes later, Murdoch was in front of an apartment.
And Murdoch came to a room with a mahogany cane, tapping the ground lightly, and he gently tapped it in a wonderful rhythm on the thick wooden door.
Not long after, the door was opened, and a huge figure appeared in front of him.
"I prepared a little late-night snack, do you want to eat together?" Matt?
"Thank you, Mr. Fisk."
Murdoch nodded politely, and then walked into the room with Fisk. The room is
not luxurious, in fact, this room can even be said to be quite simple, although the home is quite high-end, but only minimally furnished, without any superfluous decoration.
Fisk, on the other hand, was making his own food like an ordinary office worker who had just left work, and soon two plates of scrambled eggs were served on the table.
"So something went wrong over there with Catwoman?"
Fisk's tone was like discussing what was in today's newspapers, more like small talk than work.
"Yes."
Murdoch's attitude was very solemn, he reported Felicia's words one by one, as he said before, without adding oil and vinegar, nor his own subjective opinion, he just reported everything truthfully to Fisk.
However, after the debriefing, he also put forward his own questions and suggestions.
"I think we should probably change our plans, if that Ghost Spider-Man is involved, it might mislead those allies,
and if we deliberately let Ghost Spider-Man rescue Mr. Eric, it will make others think she's our guy."
They'll think we're playing a double reed with her.
"Nope."
Fisker put the food in his mouth and chewed it carefully, as if he wanted to enjoy every taste of it.
"There is no need to change plans, you go and inform Bullseye and let him stay at the hotel as well, ready to welcome this distinguished guest."
As for our allies ...
We can inform the Russians that the ghost Spider-Man is preparing to rescue Eric and ask them to send someone to assist us in guarding Mr. Eric.
Their strength is not strong, just enough to let us see the energy of this Miss Diane today.
If Mr. Eric is rescued, then the Russians will not only not be able to blame us, but they will also owe us a favor for this. If they can't
save Mr. Eric, then that Miss Diane doesn't have the qualifications to compete with her arrogant cousin for the patriarch throne in this game, and then we can only continue to cooperate with Milk.
Murdoch nodded, then asked,
"So when do we start preparing?" They just received the news today.
"Immediately."
Fisker said resolutely:
"That eldest lady should understand that the longer it drags on for her, the more unfavorable the situation will be for her, even if she thinks it is a trap, she will definitely make a move, otherwise she will completely lose hope of victory."
He then issued his conclusions on the matter.
"You are responsible for this matter, pay attention to proportion."
Murdoch nodded, and only then did he pick up his knife and fork and start enjoying the food in front of him.
The two of them lightly decided on the future leader of the Bernano family in an instant, as if deciding the successor to a position in their own company.
Even Ghost Spider-Man's intervention seems to be a trivial matter.
But for Fisk, it seems that this is exactly the case.
The future rulers of the Bernano family, whether Milk or Diane, make no difference to Fisk.
They are all destined to be the pedal for Fisker to step on that peak of power.
As for Peter and Gwen, they were not put in the eyes of Fisk.
As their name suggests, Spider-Man and Batman are at best nasty bugs to Fisk. Even if you crush it
to death by the way, what kind of storm can it cause?
Although Peter does not believe that Eddie can really help in dealing with Fisk, the ability that Eddie has shown is worth noting.
Peter hadn't decided whether to cooperate with him in the future, and he planned to wait until Eddie's news was published before making a decision based on what he posted.
