"You can't hurt Milk? I can understand that you can't kill him, and I fully support it, but why do you have to ensure that he is not harmed? Isn't he a traitor to your family?"

Diane did not expect that the first person to question was Gwen, who had been listening. She smiled bitterly and was about to explain Eric when she spoke first:

"The only thing we can say is that Milk has a special status and we cannot hurt him privately."

Diane shook her head and said:

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

What's more, they are risking their lives for us now, and we should let them know the reasons behind these unreasonable demands."

Eric's brows immediately furrowed upon hearing this, and the amiable look he had just now disappeared, and an invisible pressure surged out of him.

"Diane... No matter where our family goes in the future, there are some rules that we must abide by. This is not only about our identity, but also our glory.

Once these rules are broken, our family will lose its foundation, and no matter how high we climb in the future, it will only look like a beautiful castle in the air."

And Diane was not to be outdone. She stared into her father's eyes fearlessly and said calmly:

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

And we should make the family prosperous by controlling 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. It is precisely because of the law of silence that Milk's father Joseph is now in prison, but we are safe and sound. If it were not for the restraint and protection of these rules, our family would have been

It fell apart!"

"I don't want to deny the merits of these rules, but we must also use the rules flexibly and control them! In special times, we must have special responses, otherwise we will just sink into the sea with these rules!"

The argument between the two became more and more intense, even reaching the level of a quarrel.

Gwen on the side was confused. She blinked and looked at the two of them in turn, trying to figure out the meaning of terms like the Law of Silence and the Code of Glory that they just talked about, but in the end it was just more.

The more I listen, the more confused I feel.

In the end, Peter had no choice but to take the initiative to explain to Diane:

"The code of silence and the code of honor are rules that formal members of the Mafia need to abide by.

The law of silence stipulates that all gang members must not reveal any information about the gang to any outsiders, or even admit the existence of the gang.

At the same time, you are not allowed to cooperate with the government or the police in any form or leak gang information. Even if you are betrayed or hunted by a gang member, you cannot turn to the police for help or leak his information to the police.

As for the honor code, it is simpler, that is, do not harm your family, and do not attack the relatives or friends of the target of vendetta."

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

She did not expect that the gangsters and mafia who were violating the law and disrupting order every day would establish their own set of rules to establish order.

When Peter saw this, he remembered the old saying again, and he said softly:

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

That is the most primitive law and the most cruel law.

Natural selection, survival of the fittest.

Or even simpler, the weak can eat the strong.

Strength determines everything. When you are strong, you can decide the fate of all weak people at will. But the problem is that no one is strong enough to dominate everyone, so they are in danger all the time, just like in the

In a dark forest.

You don't know who you will meet, or who will meet you. The only thing you can know is that everyone and every living thing 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 punishment, they may still think you are great and a person, but if you break the unspoken rules among gang members, you will become the target of public criticism."

Gwen fell into silence. Although she has not been a superhero for a long time, she has had a lot of dealings with these gang members and various gangsters, but she did not really understand these gangs until today.

At this time, the quarrel between Diane and Eric was coming to an end.

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

Diane took a breath and looked at Gwen again, but she did not immediately answer Gwen's initial question, but made a request to her first.

"Spider-Man and Batman... I hope you can keep what I say next secret and never disclose it to anyone, especially the government and the police."

Gwen frowned her beautiful eyebrows and got entangled. If what Diane said next really involved illegal behavior, she couldn't sit idly by and ignore it. If that was the case, she would rather not listen.

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

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

Then Diane asked uneasily as if she had thought of something:

"By the way, you don't have any recordings on you, right?"

Peter smiled and said:

"Stop teasing her. Even if there is a recording, it is meaningless. It cannot be accepted by the court as illegally collected evidence."

At this time, even Eric, who looked serious, couldn't help but smile.

Gwen froze in place, looking at the smiles of the three people, always feeling as if she was being despised for her IQ.

She complained dissatisfiedly:

"You are obviously the boss and the eldest daughter of the mafia family, why are you so proficient in law? Do you need to get a lawyer's license first to join the gang?"

Diane smiled even more after hearing this.

"I can indeed take a test if necessary. Only understanding the law can help me violate it more easily... Oh, I should say take advantage of its loopholes.
