Chapter 60: Let me tell you about human nature

Silence Bar.

George. Stacy was sitting at the bar, flipping through magazines.

As a place for officers to rest and relax inside the police station, this silent bar is unusually quiet compared to other bars.

There weren't many people in the bar, and a few police officers sat around a table playing cards.

A jukebox was placed at the door, and the Iron Butterfly Band was singing at the top of their voices: "In the garden of heaven, darling, ......"

The pot-bellied bartender pushes a glass of wine in front of George.

"I'll give you a drink, George, you don't seem to be in a good mood."

George glanced up at the bartender, "Thanks, Mike, but I don't want to go home drunk right now, so get me a drink." ”

"It's not a spirit, at best it will give you a whiskey taste in your mouth. Do you know the strongest liquor I've ever drunk? ”

The bartender Mike, who was clearly a talkative man, shrugged his shoulders and said:

"It was made by a friend of mine on the Tennessee border, and he didn't use wooden barrels, but old oil barrels, which he said were called bourbon."

Nobody wanted to drink it, and he sold it for five dollars a barrel, and the smell was so strong that it could smoke a donkey! I'll let you taste it another day. ”

After talking about the whiskey he'd ever drunk, he pushed his glass towards George.

"But all that's in front of you is whiskey and pickled cucumbers. Just ask your girls, kids love to drink pickled cucumber wine. ”

"Kids?"

George. Stacy disagreed, "This is a police bar, Mike, male baldness is the dress code here, and it doesn't have anything to do with 'kids' here." ”

"And ......"

He paused and said, "Gwen isn't like any kid you know. ”

Flipping through the magazines in hand, George. Stacy flipped through the page where Spider-Woman was reported.

Mike saw that the other party was not interested in the wine he had concocted, so he had to take it up and drink it himself.

"Well, George, I didn't know trying something new was going to kill you."

After drinking the "pickled cucumber wine" in the cup, Mike said to George. Stacey says:

"Is Gwen going to puberty? Children at this stage will always have endless troubles, and if you care about two sentences, they will want to run away from you. ”

He was talking about his parenting experience when suddenly a news item appeared on the news program on TV.

"Spider-Woman has appeared near Fifth Avenue in New York, and a suspected accomplice of Spider-Woman has appeared!"

Watching Spider-Woman fall from a great height, and then being rescued by a mysterious man wearing the same mask amid the exclamations of the onlookers, George. Stacy was stunned.

"Another Spider-Woman?"

Mike looked at the picture on the TV, put down the wine glass in his hand, "No...... No, he's a man, I can see it even with a mask. ”

Pouring himself a glass of whiskey again, Mike stares at the replaying image of Spider-Woman being rescued.

"The only thing I agree with is that he doesn't wear tights, maybe this guy is not the same as those tights perverts."

George. Stacy ignored Mike's complaints, staring at the TV screen, frowning slightly.

Night, George. Stacy returns home.

Gwen wasn't at home and the room was unusually quiet.

The moonlight poured into the living room, illuminating the room as bright as hoarfrost.

He was about to make a cup of coffee when the door creaked open, and Gwen came in with her school bag.

"Good evening, Daddy."

Gwen put her bag down and greeted her father.

Depression was written all over her face.

After being "guillotined" by the guy "Black Watcher", she had to surrender by smashing herself to the ground in order to prevent herself from being strangled by that guy.

planned to stand up and then continue to fight with him, this time he wouldn't "talk about martial arts", and shot spider silk directly at his face, pasting him in the face.

Unexpectedly, after the other party said a few angry words, he jumped off the building and fled.

Even if she wanted revenge, she could only do it temporarily.

In any case, I will find him out one day.

And the "strange bird" who sneaks up on him with noise, he will also catch him.

"Gwen, what's wrong with your ears?"

George. Stacy noticed that her daughter's ears were red and walked over to her in surprise.

"Ears?"

Gwen froze, reaching out and touching her earlobe.

Although my ears still feel a little groggy, it is much better than the buzzing sound before.

"I guess I was shocked by the sound when I was practicing the drum kit. You know, Dad, Betty has been falling in love with 'Valkyrie' lately, and it's definitely death rock! ”

Gwen immediately came up with an excuse and dragged Betty over as an excuse.

"'With Thor's hammer, they slammed a paper sheep with cheese and salsa blood!' With such lyrics playing with the band, my ears really felt like they were being hit by 'Thor's hammer'. ”

George. Stacy: "......"

He didn't go any further, but noticed the wound on his daughter's wrist.

Although the wound was relatively hidden, it was still caught by his gaze.

With a slight sigh, he brought a cup of hot coffee and handed it to his daughter.

"That's not what you're supposed to be exposed to at your age, Gwen, and you should protect yourself."

"Well, of course, I will, dad, do you mean death rock?"

Gwen asked her father as she sipped her coffee.

George. Stacy nodded, not speaking.

He looked out the window, staring out into the night, his brow furrowed even tighter.

......

The next day, early in the morning.

Clarion Daily.

"This time, I'm going to update the news of the Spider Girl who almost made the citizens smash into cheese!"

J. Jonah Jameson, cigar in his mouth, handed a USB stick to his assistant.

"I want it to be on the morning news, do it as fast as you can! Tell the editors that I give them a limited amount of time, and if you don't want to get your salary deducted, get it done for me! ”

"Okay."

The assistant went down with a USB flash drive.

"Very well, not only is there news that Spider-Woman destroys the city's public goods and almost kills innocent citizens, but also news that a new Spider-Man has appeared...... Now everyone is busy, an unusual morning! ”

Jameson, who was in a good mood, walked out of the office with a cigar in his mouth, ready to supervise the work of the editors.

The female assistant finished her work and saw her boss standing in front of the computer flipping through the final newspaper.

After a moment's hesitation, he finally walked over.

"Sir, may I ask you a question?"

"I think so."

"I want to say, sir, all this news about Spider-Woman, they ...... I do not know. ”

The assistant's words were a little hesitant, "They don't seem to be very fair, I hear all about her swinging around helping people, but it's all ...... in our newspapers."

"Uh..... It's all reports that write her as a bad person, we ...... Is it possible to write her comprehensively? ”

Faced with the question raised by the assistant, Jameson said without raising his head: "Be comprehensive? ”

The corner of his eye sharpened to glance at the female assistant, and put down the newspaper, "Let me tell you about human nature." ”
