Chapter 165: When the Little Spider Becomes Batman
"You...... What do you want me to do for you?" Peter barely smiled.
"As a student, you have incredible physical qualities...... So that's enough for me to trust you with some of the more dangerous tasks, and of course, the corresponding reward, and I noticed that you seem to be short of money." Anthy said.
"I didn't...... How much does it cost?" As soon as Peter tried to quibble, the words in his mouth involuntarily switched to the words he really wanted to ask.
"Looks like I need to introduce you to some basic knowledge," Anthy motioned for Peter to follow him, and the two of them walked outside, "Let's take an analogy, like the underground boxing venue where you just competed, how much do you think the total revenue of that place is in a day?"
"Uh...... $10,000 ...... Fifty thousand?" Peter began to use his imagination as best he could.
"Entrance fees, drinks, food and beverages, and seats, these are calculated as $10,000 for the time being, but it's just a small head, and the most, it's gambling, betting, as a bookmaker, they only need a few games to control the market and it is estimated that they can earn more than 100,000 yuan...... It's just a few games," Anthy said, "and the casino is an illegal way to amass wealth, even if one person contributes less, but as long as more people come......
"Oh my God...... Control?" Peter was first amazed at the figure of $100,000, which he had never thought of, and then asked him about the term he didn't quite understand.
"Control, as the name suggests, is to control the entire gambling game, win or lose all by the dealer, that is, the boss, he wants you to lose, you have to lose, if you want you to win, you have to win, anyway, they can always make a steady profit, and maximize the benefits." Anthy explained.
"Of course, it doesn't mean that all of what they get is their own, Hell's Kitchen has quite a complex gang force, and they need to hand over a large part of their own subordinate gangs...... But at the same time, no matter where the money comes from, no matter whose pocket it ends up in, they all have the same nature, Peter, what do you think of that property?"
"Uh......" Peter thought for a moment, "they're all money?"
「…… What are you going to do here?" Anthy was speechless, "The same nature of all this money is that they are all illegal, illegal income!
And I, as a member of the Inland Revenue Department, are required to pay a corresponding portion of the tax on these illegal incomes, whether under federal tax laws or New York State tax laws, and this tax percentage is generally quite high!"
"So...... They didn't pay any taxes?" Peter's mind is still very fast, and the previous shelving was purely because he was a little confused by the huge number that Anthy said.
"Yes, they didn't pay taxes, so it's a huge amount of money that no one has ever chewed up, not just that underground boxing game, but all the gangs in Hell's Kitchen, all the illegal businesses." Anthy said.
"According to the recent regulations in the tax office, the commissioner can get one-fifth of the tax that can be found by the individual, and if you help me, I can give you half of what I get, and ensure that the source of the money is legal and compliant."
Peter's breathing suddenly became a little short.
That's a ...... What a great fortune?
Numbers that had never been thought of in the past began to jump wildly in Peter's heart, and they all had a pair of seductive wings, as if Peter could get them as long as he wanted.
"This ...... It's dangerous." Peter subconsciously swallowed and said.
"Is it really dangerous for you? I've noticed your specialness, Peter, don't be in a hurry to deny me, and I'm not going to tell anyone about it, but your performance is so easy to see, and if you agree, I can still teach you how to hide this change, and even help you develop this ability...... You see."
Anthy said, giving Peter a demonstration by the way, and seeing that there was no one left and right, he grabbed a car on the side of the road, and lifted the car up as easily as he lifted a piece of paper.
Peter was dumbfounded.
After Anthy put it down, he tried it himself, and although he did it, it was not as easy as Anthy, which proved that Anthy had more power than him, and he had been hiding it well!
Suddenly, Peter felt that Anthy was much more trustworthy.
"Are there many people like you with special abilities?" Peter asked curiously.
"Of course, it's just that most people hide it well, and only a small number of people who have absolute confidence in themselves will be exposed, after all, once exposed, it will definitely cause countless troubles." Anthy pointed out.
"I...... I didn't mean to, I just, not very skilled!" Peter heard this, and immediately scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed.
"I understand, and that's why I'm using this as a condition of trading with you, to hide and control my abilities, and if I try it all on my own, it's very likely that I'll make irreparable mistakes." Anthy said very solemnly.
"I see." Peter seemed to feel Anthy's solemnity, and nodded seriously.
"So you're accepting the conditions?" Anthy asked.
"Uh...... Yes!" Peter didn't hesitate too much, the kind of numbers that he didn't dare to think of in his dreams were suddenly placed in front of him, and there were other benefits, and for a while Peter couldn't find a reason to refuse.
"Good......" Anthy nodded and smiled.
It is inevitable to be the "father of Spider-Man" in the early stage, and if he wants to exert guidance, Anthy has to create a suitable environment, bring Peter in, and transform him with one thing after another...... This is a long-term process, forget about the villain, the little spider is still too miserable, and Anthy can't bear it.
As a person who made Peter trust, a wave of backstabs at a critical moment will undoubtedly be memorable for him...... Eh, did you just say something?
In short, Anthy is going to show the most real side of this society in front of Peter, and then give him a space to choose, wanting to see what kind of choice Peter will make in such an environment.
Is it the same "good neighbor of New York" as always, or is it "the filth of this world can no longer be washed, so it will be completely shattered and reshaped", or "how many floors does a bag of rice have to carry"?
Wait, there is another person who has also gone in the opposite direction after experiencing all kinds of pain like Spider-Man, although it is in the next universe, but it is a master who carries the sub-level!
Well...... Something that says something slightly hellish in common.
Anthy looked at Peter thoughtfully.
When does Spider-Man become Batman?
It doesn't seem impossible, right?
Explosion ...... Three chapters! Very good! I can have three cards today, I can have four cards tomorrow, and I can't even think of it in the future! It was a great start to success!
