American Comics: The Law of Strength
Chapter 54
Walking inside the subway station to the safe house, Gwen holds a huge paper bag, wears a half mask, and munches on a burger wrapped in delicate wrapping paper.
She grumbled loudly while making "a
"You know what, this thing is really delicious, but it's not worth eighty dollars!"
And Peter complained expressionlessly:
"What I can't figure out is that you can buy anything delicious for eighty dollars, but you ended up choosing a hamburger."
"But the burgers are really delicious!" Peter glanced at
Gwen's uniform covertly, and then shook his head silently, he vaguely remembered Peter Parker after the age of thirty in an animated movie he had watched, and only hoped that this situation would not happen to Gwen.
"If you like it, I can buy that burger shop and you can eat it for free whenever you want."
Naturally, the person who spoke could not be Peter, the fake Batman, but Diane, who was standing at the door of the safe house with her head tilted and smiling and waiting for the two.
It's just that at this time, her expression does not look like she has just won a big victory, the smile on her face has a strong killing intent, and she even removed the highlights in her eyes and turned into a gray look.
Gwen instinctively sensed something was wrong, and she hesitated to pull out a burger from the paper bag and whispered,
"Would you like a hamburger?"
"Yes!"
Diane snatched the burger and returned to the safe house angrily, while Diane's father, Eric, also sat at the "conference table" with a serious face, browsing the information on his phone.
Peter grabbed Gwen, who wanted to run, and sat down at the conference table together.
"What happened?"
Peter frowned and asked in a low voice, he couldn't think of any reason for Diane's rage, they successfully completed the task and retreated, and there was no problem with Diane's negotiation.
Even if they didn't reach a smooth cooperation with Fisk, it was actually nothing, after all, they had anticipated this situation, so they would arrest Milk.
So he really couldn't figure out what Diane was angry about.
And Eric answered the questions of the two in a timely manner.
He reversed the phone in his hand to show Peter and Gwen its contents. A video is
playing on the phone, which is Peter's impassioned speech, and the number of views displayed next to the video is increasing, and it is now only about two hours before Peter's speech at the manor, but the video has reached five figures.
"Honestly, young man, I was impressed by your speech, our family has always wanted to train several politicians, your speech inspired me, if you hadn't said some superfluous things, I think I would have discussed with you first whether you want to be president, but..."
Eric rubbed his temples and pulled the video progress to the middle, while Peter in the frame was shouting "This is my house, this is my residence, I paid taxes to feed you!"
"This sentence is very deadly..."
Eric pointed to the frozen picture with a headache, while Diane continued to explain with an angry face:
"Maybe you don't realize it, but the subtext of your words is that you are the head of the Bernano family, at least the core of our family!"
Or maybe you have conquered our family and become our new master!
And Eric sighed and said:
"I have just received inquiries from several elders in the family, they want to know if the person under this mask is me, if it is not for the gender of the characters in the video is too obvious, they will not suspect Diane, I can only drag them now, intending to give them an answer after you make a choice."
"What choice?"
Peter asked with a bitter face, he really didn't expect that his improvisational random line would actually make such a big incident.
Gwen also sat on the side eating hamburgers and watching the play, sighing that he was worthy of being a wealthy family, and he could make such a big thing in a word. And Diane and
Eric became a little more serious after hearing Peter's question, and Diane spoke first:
"First of all, I need you to answer me a question, I hope you can answer me as honestly as possible, that is, what are your plans for the future?" And are there any bad thoughts for me or our family?
Peter frowned and thought for a moment before replying with some hesitation:
"Unfavorable thoughts are definitely not there at least now, as for what I want to do... I can't explain in detail, but the end result could save the world.
"Poof!"
"Ahem! Water!!
Rao is Diane has done a full psychological construction before, and even received various training on negotiation since she was a child, but at this moment she still did not hold back and spewed out, and immediately broke the work.
And Gwen, who was watching the play on the side, was also directly choked by the burger and beat his chest desperately.
Eric was the most calm of them, but his expression also twitched violently a few times, and it took a long time to control it.
Diane smiled incredulously:
"Did this guy play Batman for too long and into the play too deeply?"
"Ahem! Seriously, if you're going to form the Justice League, I think I can join, but Hugh wants me to play Wonder Woman, and her outfit is still a little too ahead of my time.
Peter looked at the two girls with such a smile, and then looked at Eric, and sure enough, he also saw a smile on his face.
Diane had been holding back a smile for a long time with her years of professional-level training, and she took several deep breaths in a row before returning to her serious expression.
"Well, save the world... Burst... That... That's fine... Burst!
Fortunately, Eric was still able to grasp his emotions, and he succeeded Diane and continued:
"First of all, I have to explain to you that for a family power of our level, even if we have gradually separated from the underground world, we must not allow any outsiders to claim to be the master or owner of our family.
Failure to do so will have a serious impact on the prestige of our family.
So if you plan to move freely in the future, it's best not to pretend to be Batman, and we'll pay you a fee to buy this identity and disguise it as a secret identity of a high-ranking member of our family to block other people's doubts.
The other option is that you really join our family, although you should not have Italian ancestry, I will still make an exception to allow you to enter the top of our family, but it will not give you too much real power, and your future actions when playing Batman must be careful not to contradict the interests of our family.
And in the future, we will definitely have conflicts with Fisk and other forces, and you will continue to play Batman to help at that time. "
She grumbled loudly while making "a
