American Comics: The Law of Strength
Chapter 39
"Hmm...
Peter broke the black plastic piece by piece from his head and peeled it off.
Gwen was back at school by this time, and Peter was finally able to free his head from the "chocolate ball" that had imprisoned him all day.
"Ha~"
Peter let out a sigh of unknown meaning, and at this time he finally did not need to lower his voice and make a hoarse voice. Feeling the temperature of the
sun on his face, and the caress of the breeze, Peter even felt a trace of happiness.
Bathman is really not the job of ordinary people...
Destroying all the debris, Peter walked out of the subway station.
Peter put his hands in his pockets and walked into the crowd after a long absence.
Although his tattered clothes and missing a shoe make people look strangely, he still has a pleasant smile on his lips.
The last time I walked in the sun, the leisurely action like a walk seemed to be a matter of a previous life.
Oh... It seems to really be a matter of a previous life. Since crossing over, he
felt as if he was fighting every day, and even the number of people killed in the past few days after crossing was almost catching up with the total number of killings in his previous life.
I don't know if this world with extraordinary power is too free, or if he didn't come into contact with the real United States in his previous life. However, the
reason why Peter is so leisurely today is not because the trouble has been solved, in fact, on the contrary, it is rather that now is the most critical moment, or the current situation is like the calm before the storm.
Now Diane and Eric are in constant contact with the family members and various forces, preparing for the next negotiations with Fisk and regaining control of the family.
As for the action to control Milk, it is not very urgent.
Since Fisk and Milk are still allies today, Milk probably knew the news of Eric's rescue in the first place.
As long as Milk still had some brains, he should know that Eric and Diane's next target must be himself. Therefore, the action to control Milkk
has long been predicted by the other party, no matter what time it is, it is actually dangerous, and finally the date of the action to control Milkk is simply set at the same time as negotiating with Fisk.
This would provide more leverage in the negotiations and, as Diane said, leave an insurance against failure.
However, this also left Peter, who could not help at all, into a state of having nothing to do before the action began.
And seeing Peter's now sloppy and implicit appearance, Diane simply took out his credit card that had been hidden in the snow for a long time and let him buy the items he needed by himself. With the leader of the family,
Eric, rescued, Milk has lost the excuse to justify hosting the family.
Milk, who was still reluctant to hand over power after the fig leaf that protected the family in the crisis was removed, naturally became a usurper.
So he also lost most of the support from within the Bernano family.
The only thing he can rely on now besides his own personal forces is Fisk and his allies who made deals during his time in power.
Relying on these external forces, Milk still barely maintains control of the family, but it is only a matter of time before he loses control.
And belonging to the Bernano family, the police should naturally not serve him.
So now Diane's credit card will not continue to be monitored by the other party.
However, even if they are tracked by the other party, it will have no effect on them.
Now Milk is no longer able to mobilize the arms within the family.
As for Fisk, he also had a lot of losses after being swiped by Peter's copy of the hotel, and he definitely won't pay more manpower for Milk.
Peter's first visit was an outdoor clothing store.
After all, the homeless man with one bare foot and almost all rags dressed is too eye-catching.
Coupled with his face, which does not look like an adult, it is easy to attract police questioning.
As for what to wear, Peter is not picky, as long as it is practical.
After a while, Peter chose a pair of lightweight black hiking boots.
Although heavier than regular shoes, Peter didn't want to suffer another situation where he had to drag his shoe to fight after being hit in the foot.
As for the clothes and pants, it is still mainly black, black storm jacket, black jeans, black shirt, the main is a bat color.
Peter, who changed into a new outfit, suddenly felt much more energetic, and looked like he had changed from a homeless man to a relatively wealthy homeless man.
After all, his hair and face had not been cleaned since he climbed out of the grave, but fortunately it didn't taste much, otherwise even an invisibility ring would not be able to hide his whereabouts.
At the same time, he also needs to buy a new mask, and as for the style, Peter still prefers the Batman helmet.
In addition to the fact that this helmet itself is black and has a certain concealment at night, I have to say that the Batman helmet is indeed very handsome.
However, after arriving at the comic book store, Peter was taken aback by Batman's helmet.
The bright price of five hundred dollars made Peter couldn't help but rub his eyes.
And a girl in front of the counter directly said the question in her heart for Peter.
"Dude! Are you serious? This Batman helmet was still two hundred dollars last week, and as a result, you actually increased by three hundred dollars in just a few days?
I've been saving money for it since Christmas, so where do you want me to scrape together another three hundred dollars for you now?" In the face of the
emotional girl, the owner of the manga shop indifferently pointed to a newspaper that was posted behind the counter.
The newspaper page was printed with a large photograph, and the people in the photo were Peter, Black Cat and Gwen who were negotiating that day.
Just above the photo is the bigger, bolded caption.
"Comics come to life?! Batman and Catwoman come to the real world to confront the famous wanted criminal!
Then the owner of the comic book shop said with a look of disdain:
"Now Batman's helmet and all kinds of peripherals are in short supply, I don't have much stock here, only three hundred price increases is already very restrained, if you can't afford it, you can continue to wait, maybe one day the price will drop to lower than before."
And Peter, who was standing behind the girl, held his forehead with one hand, with a helpless face.
It is clear that the content of this newspaper was written by Eddie, and this report is the product of Peter's acquiescence.
And Eddie kept his promise, and as he himself said, he knew what to forget. However, Peter did not expect that
Eddie could win the front page, and he did not expect that the impact of this report would eventually affect himself.
But it was also a testament to Eddie's ability to keep his promises while also knowing what to write to attract a larger audience.
Maybe I will really have the opportunity to cooperate with him in the future.
Peter secretly wondered where he could use the capable journalist while buying two helmets with Diane's credit card.
Threw one of them into the girl's arms under the smile of the manga shop owner, and left the manga shop without waiting for the other party's reaction.
Peter broke the black plastic piece by piece from his head and peeled it off.
Gwen was back at school by this time, and Peter was finally able to free his head from the "chocolate ball" that had imprisoned him all day.
