American Comics: The Law of Strength

Chapter 37



"Can't hurt Milk? I can understand that I can't kill him, and I'm very supportive, but why make sure he doesn't get hurt? Isn't he a traitor to your family?

Diane didn't expect that the first to question was Gwen, who had been in the audience, and she smiled bitterly and was about to explain Eric was the first to speak:

"The only thing we can say is that Milk's identity is special, and we can't hurt him privately."

Diane shook her head and said,

"Father, we are not mafias, at least not anymore, so we don't have to follow the so-called law of silence.

Moreover, they are now risking their lives for us, and we should let them know the reasons behind these unreasonable demands.

Eric's brows immediately furrowed when he heard this, and the kind appearance he had just had just disappeared, and an invisible pressure poured out from him.

"Diane... No matter where our family goes in the future, there are certain rules to follow, not only about who we are, but where our glory lies.

Once these rules are broken, our family loses its foundation, and no matter how high it climbs in the future, it will only seem like a beautiful castle in the air.

Not to be outdone, Diane stared at her father's eyes fearlessly and said calmly:

"Even the rules have to change in line with the times, and our ancestors originally chose to abide by these so-called laws of silence and honor in order to unite and bind our family.

And we should make the family prosper by harnessing these rules, rather than being bound by the rules of our ancestors!

Eric narrowed his eyes and said seriously: "It is precisely because of the existence of these rules that support the continuous development of our family, and

it is precisely because of the law of silence that Milk's father Joseph is now in prison, while we are safe and sound, without the restraint and protection of these rules, our family would have fallen apart long ago!"

"I'm not trying to deny the merits of these rules, but we also need to be flexible in applying the rules and navigating the rules!" In special times, we must have a special response, otherwise we will only sink into the sea with these rules! The

argument between the two became more and more intense, and it had even reached the level of quarrel.

Gwen on the side was confused, she blinked her eyes and took turns looking at the two, trying to figure out what the two of them had just said about the law of silence and the code of glory, but in the end, the more she listened, the more she felt at a loss.

In the end, Peter had to take the initiative to explain for Diane:

"The Law of Silence and the Code of Honor are both rules that full members of the mafia need to follow.

The law of silence states that all gang members must not disclose any information about the gang to any outsiders, or even acknowledge the existence of the gang.

At the same time, you must not cooperate with the government and the police in any form to leak gang information, even if you are betrayed or hunted down by gang members, you cannot turn to the police, or disclose his information to the police.

As for the code of glory, it is simpler, that is, it is not a disaster to the family, and you cannot attack the relatives or friends of the target of vendetta.

Gwen was stunned after hearing this, and then felt quite ironic.

She did not expect that the gangsters and mafia who would break the law and disrupt order tomorrow and tomorrow would establish a set of rules to establish order.

Seeing this, Peter remembered the old saying, and he said softly:

"It is precisely because it is the incapable who breaks the rules all the time that he can better understand what it looks like when all the rules are completely broken, because then there will only be one rule left in the world."

That is the most primitive law, and it is also the most cruel law.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

Or more simply, the law of the jungle.

Power determines everything, and when you are strong, you can decide the fate of all the weak at will, but the problem is that no one is strong enough to be above everyone, so they are in danger all the time, like being in a dark forest.

You don't know who you'll meet or who you'll meet, the only thing you know is that every person and every creature you meet will be an enemy.

That's why they need to establish rules to ensure order, which is also to protect themselves.

So in the eyes of these gang members, if you break the law and escape sanctions, they may still think that you are amazing and a character, but if you break the unspoken rules between gang members, you will become the target of everyone.

Gwen fell silent, although she had not been a superhero for a long time, she had dealt with these gang members and various gangsters, but she did not really know these gangs until today.

At this time, the quarrel between Diane and Eric was also nearing its end.

Although Eric did not agree with Diane's opinion, he was also very aware of the special situation at this time, and finally chose to compromise and acquiesced to Diane's behavior.

Diane breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Gwen again, but instead of answering Gwen's original question immediately, she made a request to her first.

"Ghost Spider-Man and Batman... I hope that you will all keep it secret and never reveal it to anyone, especially the government and the police.

Gwen furrowed her good-looking brows, tangled, if what Diane said next really involved illegal behavior, then she couldn't sit idly by, if that was the case, she would rather not listen.

However, just when Gwen wanted to leave for a while to avoid falling into a moral dilemma, Diane chuckled:

"Actually, don't worry so much, because even if you say it, it doesn't make sense, because it is protected by the Fifth Amendment, so what I say next can only be used as a reference."

Then Diane seemed to think of something and asked uneasily,

"By the way, you don't have a recording on you, do you?"

Peter laughed and said:

"Don't tease her, even if there is a recording, there is no point, as illegally collected evidence, it cannot be admitted by the court."

At this time, even Eric, who had a serious face, couldn't help but smile.

And Gwen was stunned in place, looking at the smiles of the three people, always feeling as if he was despised intellectually.

She complained dissatisfied: "Obviously the eldest

and eldest lady of the underworld family, why are you so proficient in the law? Do you still need to get a lawyer's license to join the gang now?

Diane's smile widened after hearing this.

"I can really take one if I need one, only knowing the law can help me break it more easily... Oh, it should be said to exploit it.

By the way, if you want to serve at the top of our family, you probably need a business school degree and a seminary degree. "
