Chapter 66 Protecting the Lights of New York (11,000 Words for Three Changes!) )

The location of Queens, New York, near the borough of Manhattan has always been a great location for the city. As the economic center of New York www.biquge.info Manhattan is home to almost all of the world's leading brands.

And the most influential companies in the United States and even around the world, multinational corporations will set up their headquarters in this area.

For many businessmen, it is an honor to be in Manhattan. When a stock is listed on Wall Street, it means that you have a place in the global business market. That's why housing prices in this area of Manhattan are incredibly high.

For example, a property that Blade and Jaclyn currently bought in Manhattan is not very large. At most, a house suitable for a family of three has already cost more than $3 million. After that, you have to pay a high property tax every year.

And this almost emptied all of Blade's savings, and he even needed to apply for a loan from the bank to be able to afford the house. It should be said that luckily Blade joined the Avengers, at least this is a stable career. The U.S. government needs to pay him a salary, otherwise he would not have gotten a bank loan.

This shows how high the housing prices in Manhattan are. That's why a lot of people who work in Manhattan will look to the consular districts that are close to Manhattan. For example, the border between Queens and Manhattan, this is a great option.

Many people with good financial incomes have their eyes set on here. Purchase a property at this junction. And Gwen's family lives here. As the deputy chief of the New York City Police Department, George has a good income.

Relying on his legitimate income, he can buy a spacious high-end apartment here.

Not far from Gwen's house, at the top of another residential building. Nightkin Lee Jay and Spider-Man Peter are standing looking out over Gwen's apartment.

"Am I really going to talk to George, as Spider-Man?" Peter said with some hesitation in Spider-Man's uniform.

"Do you want to take off your hood and stride up to George and tell him you're Spider-Man. And then he will marry his daughter. Guess what George would have done if he knew you were Spider-Man and still in Gwen?" said Li Jie in an unfavorable tone.

"I'm going to shoot my head in one shot!" Peter shuddered. Gwen Stancy is definitely George's heart and soul. Anything that might endanger Gwen, George would have cut it off in advance.

Spider-Man is the guy who spends his days in the city and gets into so much trouble. George certainly couldn't have agreed to such a person being with his daughter. I'm afraid it's useless for Gwen to beg him when the time comes.

He had just developed some affection for Peter for dinner tonight, and Peter didn't want all his efforts to be in vain.

"That's why you're looking for him like this. Since you care so much about what he says to you. I feel that because of the existence of Spider-Man, I have ruined a lot of excellent police officers. Then we're going to have to figure out how to solve this problem, aren't we? Li Jie patted Peter on the shoulder.

The media's accusations against Spider-Man began to turn the tide because of Li Jie's short film. When everyone pointed the finger at James, Li Jie found that Peter was still a little depressed.

So under Li Jie's repeated questioning, Peter told the content of his previous conversation with George. He felt that what George said was very reasonable, and that he might indeed be a little nosy.

This kind of negative attitude is not what Spider-Man should have. Li Jie did not expect Peter to be hit by these words, or even change his personality and habits because of this. If Spider-Man is no longer chivalrous, is he still Spider-Man?

Li Jie didn't want Peter to be influenced, so he had to find a way to eliminate the negative impact of this incident on Peter. And preferably find a way to live peacefully with George. After all, he was Peter's future father-in-law.

"Check that the headphones inside your mask are in place. So that I can hear your conversation and help you deal with some emergencies. Li Jie checked whether the communication equipment on his body and Peter's communication equipment were in good condition.

"Hey, why don't you come with me. You know I'm not very good at convincing people, you're an expert at that. Peter was telling the truth.

Spider-Man is really talkative. However, most of the skill points of his mouth cannon are pointed at telling jokes or taunting opponents to pull hatred. For negotiation or persuasion. Actually, Peter was not good at all.

"I'm going? That's your question, Peter Parker. It's not bad that I can help you do so much behind your back, so you might as well solve this problem on your own. Do you remember the rhetoric I gave you?" asked Li Jie after finally confirming that the equipment was correct.

"It should be fine. "Peter wasn't very confident. Facing George alone, he was a little stressed.

The pressure came from two points, the first was that he was Gwen's father. Second, he was the deputy commissioner of the New York City Police Department.

George, as a father, didn't like Peter Parker. George, as a police officer, doesn't like Spider-Man. In every way, Peter was unflattering to George.

Of course, maybe George Stancy won't be the deputy chief of police soon. Because Li Jie has decided to put him in the position of mayor of New York City.

Ever since he came back from the dinner in the restaurant, George had been in a somewhat strange mood. What happened tonight made him feel like he was in a ridiculous dream. But he pinched his hand and found that it really hurt, and it wasn't a dream.

Go to MR again? Before LI Restaurant, he was just a trickster with no background, no backer, no funds, and he was completely a companion in the mayoral election.

And when two hours ago, he got from MR? After the LI restaurant returned, he suddenly had a super consortium behind him. There is even another mega-conglomerate that may support his election.

Moreover, in the New York City mayoral election, the two most vocal candidates have been told by Li Jie that they are going to be out before the election starts. The reason is simple, Stark Group and Osborne Group will completely ban the two.

The combination of these two megagroups has an unpredictable influence on the country's political direction. It's hard to say about the U.S. presidential election, but in the New York City mayoral election, if Tony and Harry join forces, then whoever really wants to come to power will be able to come to power.

A few hours ago, he was nothing more than a runner in this election. A few hours later, George suddenly discovered that the position of mayor of New York City was so close to him.

This kind of rollercoaster up and down of life is simply unbelievable.

The apartment purchased by George Stancy is located on the top floor of the entire apartment building. Outside his apartment there was a huge, empty open-air balcony. It's a big piece of open space that they own on their own.

When he came back from the restaurant, George couldn't sleep at all. His mood was hard to calm down. Did he ever covet the position of mayor of New York City? Yes, because he was also an idealistic and ambitious man.

He had thought many times about how he would reform the city if he became mayor of New York. Address the high crime rate that is now high across New York City. There's also the issue of slum renovation in New York City, and tax law reform, and so on.

But he can only think about it every time, because he knows that this position may not be achieved in his lifetime. Because he was not born into a political family, and there is no business tycoon to endorse him.

And this time, he has come to the closest distance of his life's dream. George Stancy made himself a cup of coffee from the kitchen and walked out to the balcony outside his apartment.

Manhattan and Queens are lit up at night. But that doesn't hide the dark places in New York City, the slums, the criminals in the dark! George stood on the balcony thinking a lot.

He didn't even notice that a guy in a red and blue tights was already standing behind him.

Well, Spider-Man Peter Parker has been standing behind George for a few minutes. But seeing his distracted appearance, Peter did not dare to disturb him. So he waited for George to come back to his senses and find himself.

And Li Jie, who was in the distance, looked at this scene, and he was almost angry. Peter Parker was literally out of the sky when he met George.

So when George finally finished his imagination and was about to go back to his room to sleep, he was suddenly shocked to find Spider-Man standing behind him. He subconsciously wanted to pull the gun from his waist.

But he forgot that he was now at home, not on duty. He was not wearing a police uniform with a gun.

"Hey, hey. Don't get excited, don't get excited about Sheriff George. Peter said to George in a deep, calm voice in a tone different from his usual voice.

"I'm here to talk to you. I'm Spider-Man, you see. As he spoke, Peter shot a spider silk to show that he was real, not someone else pretending.

"Came to my house in the middle of the night without my permission. Did you know this is private territory? You're breaking the law. "George really doesn't like Spider-Man.

"Don't get excited, don't get excited sheriff. I know you may not like me, and you may think that I have robbed a lot of police jobs. But trust me, what I do is all out of good intentions. Maybe I did something wrong, and here I apologize to you. Peter said in a very sincere tone.

George glanced at Spider-Man in surprise. He also watched the hero short films that have been circulating recently. I know a little more about Spider-Man than I used to, and I understand that this is just a child about the same age as my daughter.

So his tone was a little looser. "You don't have to apologize to me, you have to understand Spider-Man. What you do may be out of the public spirit. But there are a lot of things you do that are illegal without the permission of the law. And I'm the deputy chief of police. It is my duty to uphold the law. ”

Peter did not contradict him on this. Because in the imitation drill with Li Jie in advance, it was taken into account that there would be such a dialogue. "Yes, I understand. Sheriff George. But sometimes the police can't handle everything. You get the idea. Li Jie used the communicator to give Peter instructions on how to convince the old policeman.

Being able to achieve the position of deputy director proves that George is not a man who eats old times and is pedantic.

"If there are superheroes in this world, there will be supercriminals. Whether it's the lizard warriors who once appeared, or the vampires who have fought on the streets of New York. Or a mutant who suddenly goes berserk one day. Even a supervillain who suddenly escaped from a S.H.I.E.L.D. prison. There are many things that ordinary police officers can't deal with. If you force them to solve these problems, you will undoubtedly let them die. ”

Peter's words, George actually agreed with them from the bottom of his heart. But this does not become a reason to convince him. "But Spider-Man, that's not a reason for him to interfere too much with the police. ”

"I understand that I used to be a little out of line. That's why I'm here today. Came here to show you kindness. And want to solve this problem. Peter's disguised voice was mature, completely devoid of his usual oily and creamy, hippie smile.

This sound can give others a sense of trust. This is one of the most important and basic skills that Li Jie taught him to negotiate and persuade.

Hearing that Peter was here to show kindness and still come to think of a solution, George suddenly felt that Spider-Man was actually not that bad, at least he could communicate. "So how do you want to solve it?"

"I know that there are things that the police have prepared. I won't do those things without the permission of the police in the future. Unless there are some sudden incidents, the police have no time to react. As he spoke, Peter pulled something out of his waist.

"And if you encounter a problem that can't be solved by ordinary police officers, you need some special help. I will help you. Because I'm also a New York City citizen, I want the city to be a better place. Spider-Man spoke, handing the item to George.

George took it and found that it was an oversized flashlight.

"What is this?"

"A special searchlight that can turn on the switch at night and cast light into the sky when you need my help. It will show a pattern of a spider. Only my special spectacle lenses can see this light. With this you can find me. And I hope that in this way, I can reach a tacit understanding with the New York police. ”

Peter pointed to the Spider-Man searchlight in George's hand and said how to use it. This thing was conceived by Li Jie. When Peter asked how to deal with the New York police, Li Jie quickly thought of this method.

Until now, Peter Parker couldn't figure out why Li Kit kept smiling weirdly when he came up with the idea. But Peter thought it was a good idea.

Think, a searchlight dedicated to Spider-Man, which shines on the night sky of New York. This will be a bridge between Spider-Man and the police in the future.

Let New York be shrouded in the protection of Spider-Man's searchlights!
