American Comics: The Law of Strength

Chapter 76: Burning Rope

Watching the butler lead Gwen out of the mansion and towards the villa, Peter finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he looked at Diane, who had sat back at the desk and picked up a document and began to read it.

"So what exactly do you want to do?"

In the many days of getting along, Peter was very aware of Diane's intelligence and ability, and if she wanted to, she could have made more secure arrangements, at least not to arrange the two of them to live in the same villa knowing that she could not expose her identity to Gwen.

As for the reason for taking care of the incoming brother and sister, it pales even more in comparison and is not so much an explanation as a complete perfunctory.

Diane blinked her slender eyebrows, as if she didn't understand Peter's question, and just when Peter was about to repeat his question, she didn't expect Diane to ask with a slight mockery:

"So you don't understand why I arranged it that way?"

She nodded as if she understood the current situation, she dropped the document in her hand, and then put one hand against her lips and deliberately thought for a few seconds, as if she was considering the words so that the person in front of her could understand her thoughts.

But the mocking look on her face was obvious, although there was not much mockery, it was like a joke between friends, but Diane's attitude was more on the serious side.

And Diane rarely shows such an attitude when dealing with personal matters, and Peter's expression also becomes solemn.

And Diane did not immediately explain, but out of nowhere, she flipped out a very smooth dollar coin, she let the coin flip on her fingertips, jumped, and then asked a little abruptly while playing with the coin:

"Do you know who I like the most of all the villains in Batman?"

This was not strictly a question, after all, the answer could be seen from the coin she was tossing in her hand, and Diane really did not intend for Peter to answer.

"In fact, I basically don't like every character in the comics, after all, it's just comics, they are popular products created by a group of editors after racking their brains, since they are created by people, they can't escape the limits of these editors, for example, I guess they won't go to a mental hospital to create the perfect clown, even if they arrange a top-level wit fight, in my opinion, they are like children."

But there are still one or two shining points.

For the character of Two-Face, I actually only felt stupid at first, the guy who decides his behavior and life with a coin if he appears in reality, he can't even be a small minions for long, and I can guarantee that his first or last shot comes from his boss.

Until I found out that the coin he used to determine his fate was a rare mistake.

He tossed the coin not to make a decision based on it, but only the sense of urgency after tossing the coin would make him understand what he really wanted.

Without that coin, he would probably have delayed a decision indecisively, which is really an excellent philosophy of life, isn't it? "

"Teng!"

Diane bounced the coin in her hand, the coin flipped briskly in the air, and Peter's dynamic eyesight, which has been upgraded many times, can easily see every detail on the coin, which is exactly the same wrong coin as in the comic.

"Snap!"

Diane slapped the coin on the table, and then said solemnly:

"Peter, I once reminded Ling that sooner or later there will be a battle between our family and Fisk, and the moment our deal is reached, Fisk's purpose has actually been achieved, so I will not be surprised if they attack tomorrow.

And you have already joined the family, according to our agreement, at that time you will also contribute a combat power.

Although my father and I understand that you are now powerful, in fact, my father is more wary of you, and although I trust you, I am not to the point of relying on your combat power, so we can all accept that you do nothing, but we must not allow you to bring instability. "

Saying that, Diane rubbed her temples like a headache, and then she pointed in the direction Gwen left and continued:

"And your relationship with this Miss Gwen is the most unstable factor, we don't know why you only hide your identity from her, and we don't know what will happen after your identity is exposed to her, but now your reputation is bound to our family, so whether it is as the heir of the family or as a mutual friend between you and Miss Spider, I hope you can handle this relationship well."

"So you arranged for us to live together and leave us plenty of space?"

Peter also rubbed his temples like Diane, he knew the concerns of Diane and others, but it was really difficult for him to make a decision now.

"It also means that if you want to fight, you will fight in the house."

Diane said with a rare playful look, and then she raised her palm, picked up the coin on the table, and pushed it in front of Peter.

"As a friend, I won't force you to do anything, so I give you the space to choose, of course, you can choose to confess your identity, or run away by yourself, not living in that villa, or you can choose to drive her out of here, stay away from her forever, or simply be fierce, no matter what happens, as long as there is no 'situation' pouring out of that villa, we will take care of the aftermath for you."

But at the same time I won't let you keep the status quo forever, just like sooner or later the coin will land one day, so I also give you a time limit and burn a rope for you. "

"Wanda and... Her brother? "

Peter finally understood Diane's intention.

Diane also nodded slightly.

"Their brothers and sisters have seen your pictures and know most of your information, after all, they have to endorse your identity, they can't know anything about you, and when they arrive, you will live in that villa with them and Gwen."

Can you imagine how they would react when they moved into a villa and saw a weird brother wearing a weird helmet every day? Or when they move into the villa and don't see the 'brothers' who arranged all this for them, and Gwen is the only roommate they can reach, what questions will they ask?

They are not only the rope that burns shorter and shorter, but also a powder keg. "

After speaking, Diane seemed to have imagined that picture, and there was even a bit of expectant light in her eyes.

Peter, on the other hand, was dead ashen and full of bitterness.

Diane still imagined this matter too simply, she even regarded Wanda and her brother as ordinary people, and locked up Wanda who could do the most, even big events like the M royal family, and the little spider who could also do things in a room... And he still has secrets that cannot be exposed...

If you add Deadpool and Doctor Strange to it, don't talk about this villa, half the world will be raised!

Diane stretched out after fully enjoying Peter's ugly face, and then waved goodbye to Peter as if she had lost interest.

"Well, it's time for the good kids to go to bed, your daily necessities have moved into the villa, your name is hung on the door of your room, of course, if you want to go to the wrong room, it's no problem."

After speaking, Diane opened the drawer of the desk as if remembering something, took out a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into her mouth, and then chewed the chocolate without a ladylike appearance while picking up the document she had dropped before and reading it, and her mouth showed a more cold warning than before.

"Another point, although I don't know where you put that damn surveillance, and I don't mind you engaging in these little actions, but if you dare to watch something you shouldn't, I will arrange a more exciting situation for you to enjoy."

Sure enough, there is still an element of venting anger! Peter shook his head helplessly, then solemnly put on his helmet, pushed open the door of the study with a serious face, and walked towards the villa.

Diane picked up the coin and made it fly up and down between her fingers.

"Do you think about what you're going to do?"

Hearing this voice that was obviously laughing, Peter did not turn his head and said viciously:

"I'm going to get her belly big!"
