American Comics: The Law of Strength
Chapter 41
"Sorry, Ghost Spider, I will definitely compensate you for today's loss in the future."
Diane's apologetic voice was very soft, but it didn't match her performance at this time.
I saw that Diane was trying to stuff a burger into her mouth at this time, and at the same time put a hand against Gwen's cheek to prevent her from snatching the burger back.
It's just that Diane is obviously used to snatching food from spiders, and she not only very calmly swallows the entire burger in front of Gwen, but also glared at Peter, the initiator of all this.
Eric, on the other hand, looked at his daughter expressionlessly, really startled by the wild appearance that Diane had never shown.
After deeply doubting whether there was a problem with his education, Eric finally intervened to interrupt the farce.
He pulled out several pieces of work from a hard day and spread them on the table.
After understanding that Eric was going to start talking about business, Diane and Gwen immediately ended their frolicking, and An sat down at the table, leaving only a bored Peter standing by.
"Diane."
Diane, who was first named by her father, looked into her father's eyes without squinting, while Eric said softly:
"You should already know that I have contacted many parties today and prepared to trade with Fisk and fight against the hole cards, in order to avoid variables, I decided to set the negotiation time for tomorrow afternoon."
I myself cannot be present at this negotiation, our existing armed forces cannot guarantee security, and if I do not attend in an asymmetrical situation, they will only put me under house arrest again.
Eric paused, and announced a little helplessly:
"So you can only negotiate with Fisk's people on behalf of me and the family."
But Diane was not surprised, she had long understood that this was their only option, so she nodded quietly, and then comforted her father with a smile.
"I won't let you down father, don't forget that I'm a high school student, the right age to save the world."
Eric, who couldn't understand his daughter's joke, looked at his daughter helplessly and funny, and finally just touched her head without saying anything more.
The next task was assigned by Diane.
She shyly escaped from her father's palm, and then looked at Peter and Gwen.
"Today, my father has learned about the situation in the family through contact with members of the clan, and Milk's location is among them, and he is now hiding in the main house of the Bernano family.
So while I'm in charge of the negotiations, I need you to infiltrate the Bernano family's home, which is my home, to take control of Milk.
Then Diane pointed to the paper her father had just laid out on the table.
"This is the map of our family estate and some drawings, which can only be found due to the lack of time, but it is still quite detailed, and Milk now basically lives in the master bedroom on the third floor."
Diane drew a large circle on the drawing to encircle a room, and then instructed:
"As the core territory of our Bernano family, it is very well guarded.
Plenty of surveillance, anti-intrusion alarms, and guards are located in every corner of the estate.
And the people loyal to us have basically been guarded, so you will basically not get help.
The only good news is that Milk has a very limited number of people at his disposal after losing the support of the family, so you will most likely not encounter decent resistance.
Peter wasn't too worried about this, skirmishes in such buildings were his best field, and the only thing he had to worry about was accidentally "injuring" Milk and causing the mission to fail.
Gwen worries about other parts.
Pointing to the overlook of the manor, she asked with some concern,
"Diane... This piece outside your house... Park? Or is it a golf course? How big are they?
Diane put her finger against her chin and carefully recalled it before she said uncertainly:
"About twelve hectares? After all, this is New York, and every inch of land counts.
Gwen's face immediately fell, and she said a little weakly:
"So I hate rich people, you should at least put some high street lamps, otherwise how can I swing over?"
Peter looked at the large area of grass near the manor and nodded along, but this had a certain impact on the task.
Even if they succeed in controlling Milk according to the plan, they must transport him out of the manor to get Gwen away, which invisibly adds difficulty to the plan and adds many variables.
But neither Peter nor Gwen is quite helpless about this, can't let dozens of towering trees suddenly grow on this grass, right?
Diane also shook her head frequently, and for the first time she was troubled by her family's too much land.
In the end, she had to say:
"I don't force this task to succeed, whether it is to hurt or kill Milk at any time necessary."
Ignoring her father's surprised gaze, she took a deep breath, and then said solemnly:
"The responsibility is borne by me, once the matter is not possible, you can quickly retreat or surrender, and the safety of the two of you is the priority."
It would take considerable determination to make such a decision, and Diane had no choice.
If it weren't for the fate of the family and her and her father, she would have stopped the plan.
While this task may seem a lot easier than hacking into a hotel, the problem is that this time the other party not only knows that they will come, but also when they will come.
When she and Fisk agreed to start negotiations, the other party must have understood that they were already planning to do so.
If they attack Milk too early, then as long as Milk asks for help, Fisk, the nominal ally, will definitely take the opportunity to invade the Bernano family, and as long as the other party succeeds, the Bernano family headed by Milkk will become Fisk's puppet.
And after the negotiations, they have even less reason to act against Milk.
If the negotiations are successful, then Milk's forces that do not need their hands will also disintegrate on their own, and without the support of external forces such as Fisk, he will not be able to hold the entire family hostage on his own. As for the failure of the
negotiation and then attack, it is back to the top one, which is equivalent to creating an excuse for Phils to invade the Bernano family out of thin air.
So the only time they can act is when they negotiate. The
risks and variables of the plan are not acceptable to ordinary people from any point of view, and the benefits of this action only add insurance to her negotiations.
But it is also an indispensable insurance.
The only thing that gave Diane a little confidence was Peter's stealth and the strength Peter had shown during many days together.
Coupled with the assistance of the ghost spider, it brings some light to this difficult task.
At least... With the powerful mobility of the ghost spider and the stealth ability of Peter, even if he encounters a huge crisis, he has a means to escape.
What's more, with Milk's current situation, how many people can be found to protect him?
Diane's apologetic voice was very soft, but it didn't match her performance at this time.
