Chapter 39 Shopping Day

 "Crack... crack"

Peter broke the black plastic from his head piece by piece and peeled it off.

Gwen had returned to school at this time, and Peter was finally able to free his head from the "chocolate ball" that had imprisoned him all day.

"Ha~"

Peter sighed without meaning. At this time, he finally no longer needed to lower his voice and make a hoarse voice.

Feeling the warmth of the sun on his face and the caress of the breeze, Peter even felt a little happy.

Bateman is indeed not a job for ordinary people...

After destroying all the fragments, Peter walked out of the subway station.

Peter put his hands in his pockets and walked into the crowd for the first time in a long time.

Although his tattered clothes and missing shoe made people look at him strangely, he still had a pleasant smile on his lips.

The last time I walked under the sun, as leisurely as a walk, seemed like a lifetime ago.

Oh...it seems like it really happened in a previous life.

He feels as if he has been fighting every day since he time traveled, and even the number of people he has killed in the past few days has almost caught up with the total number of people he killed in his previous life.

He doesn’t know whether this world with extraordinary power is too free, or whether he didn’t come into contact with the real America at all in his previous life.

However, the reason why Peter is so leisurely today is not because the trouble has been solved. In fact, it is quite the opposite. It is better to say that now is the most critical moment, or the current situation is like the calm before the storm.

Now Diane and Eric are constantly contacting family members and various forces, preparing for the next negotiation with Fisk and regaining control of the family.

As for controlling Milk's actions, I'm not in a hurry.

Since Fisk is still an ally with Milk, Milk is likely to know the news of Eric being rescued as soon as possible.

As long as Milk had some brains, he would have known that Eric and Diane's next target would definitely be himself.

Therefore, the action to control Milk has long been predicted by the other party, and it is actually very dangerous at any time. In the end, the date of the action to control Milk was simply set at the same time as the negotiation with Fisk.

This can not only provide more bargaining chips for negotiations, but also, as Diane said, leave an insurance policy for failure of negotiations.

However, this also left Peter, who was completely unable to help, in a state of having nothing to do before the action began.

Seeing Peter's slovenly appearance, Diane simply took out her credit card that had been hidden for a long time and asked him to buy the items he needed.

Since the family leader Eric was rescued, Milk has lost the legitimate excuse to take charge of the family.

Milk, who was still unwilling to hand over power even after the fig leaf used to protect the family in crisis was removed, naturally became a usurper.

Therefore, he also lost most of the support from within the Bernano family.

The only people he can rely on now, besides his own personal army, are Fisk and the allies he made deals with during his time in power.

Relying on these external forces, Milk can still barely maintain control of the family, but it is only a matter of time before he loses control.

Naturally, the police insiders belonging to the Bernano family will not serve him.

So now Diane’s credit card will no longer be monitored by the other party.

However, even if they are tracked by the other party, it will have no impact on them.

Now Milk can no longer mobilize the armed forces within the family.

As for Fisk, who also suffered a lot of losses after being swiped through the hotel dungeon by Peter, he will definitely not spend more manpower for Milk.

The first place Peter visited was an outdoor clothing store.

After all, the homeless costume with one bare foot and almost all clothes made of rags is really eye-catching.

In addition, his face does not look like that of an adult, which can easily attract police questioning.

As for what to wear, Peter doesn’t have to choose, as long as it’s practical.

After a while, Peter chose a pair of lightweight black hiking boots.

Although it is heavier than ordinary shoes, it is also stronger. Peter does not want to have to fight with his shoes after being hit in the foot again.

As for clothes and pants, they are still mainly black, with black jackets, black jeans, black shirts, and the main theme is a bat color.

Peter suddenly became more energetic after putting on new equipment, 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 washed since he climbed out of the grave. Fortunately, the smell was not strong, otherwise even an invisibility ring would not be able to cover him up.

At the same time, he also needs to buy a new mask. As for the style, Peter still prefers the Batman helmet.

In addition to the fact that the helmet itself is black and has a certain degree of concealment at night, I have to say that Batman's helmet is indeed very handsome.

However, when he arrived at the comic store, Peter was startled by Batman's helmet.

The dazzling price of five hundred dollars made Peter couldn't help but rub his eyes.

And a girl in front of the counter directly expressed Peter's questions.

"Dude! Are you serious? This Batman helmet was still two hundred yuan last week, but in just a few days you actually increased it by three hundred yuan?

I have been saving money to buy it since Christmas, where do you want me to get another 300 yuan for you now?"

Facing the excited girl, the comic shop owner indifferently pointed to a newspaper posted behind the counter.

There was a large photo printed on the newspaper page, and the people in the photo were Peter, Black Cat and Gwen who were negotiating that day.

Just above the photo is the enlarged and bold title.

"Comics reflected in reality?! Batman and Catwoman actually came to the real world to confront famous wanted criminals!"

Then the owner of the comic shop said with disdain:

"Batman's helmets and various peripherals are now in short supply. I don't have much inventory here. I only increased the price by 300, which is very restrained. If you can't afford it, you can continue to wait. Maybe one day the price will drop to lower than before.

Still low.”

Peter, who was standing behind the girl, held his forehead with one hand and looked helpless.

Obviously, the contents of this newspaper were written by Eddie, and this report was the product of Peter's tacit approval.

And Eddie also kept his promise. As he said, he knew what he should forget.

However, Peter did not expect that Eddie would be able to win front page space, and he did not expect that the impact of this report would eventually affect him.

But it also proves Eddie's ability to keep his promises while also knowing what to write to attract a wider audience.

Maybe I will really have the opportunity to cooperate with him in the future.

While secretly thinking about where he could use this capable reporter, Peter used Diane's credit card to buy two helmets.
