American Man Trading Master

Only three days after the celebration banquet, the 100 million bonus was approved. It has to be said that no matter which country it is, there are always people above it who can handle things easily.

With Joey's relationship, no one in SHIELD would dare to deduct his bonus, not even Nick Fury.

The 100 million yuan was divided equally among the three people, with each person receiving 33 yuan. The remaining [-] yuan was used as the cost of the celebration banquet.

After receiving a huge sum of 33 yuan, Peter was so excited that he could hardly climb the wall. He had never seen $33 in cash since he was a child, let alone [-] US dollars.

“Don’t worry, it’s all after-tax, and you won’t get in trouble with the tax bureau.”

Joey tapped Peter on the shoulder to reassure him.

"Thank you Joey, Aunt Mei has been working very hard recently, and I am worried about how to share her pressure. This money is so timely."

"Haha, you deserve this. No need to thank me. Even the entire SHIELD and the New York Police Department want to thank you."

Peter showed a puzzled expression, and Joey turned to look at Captain America.

"Captain, you are someone who has experienced war. Tell me, if we hadn't stopped Connors, how much damage would the entire New York have suffered?"

Captain America thought for a moment.

"If five Lizard Warriors act together, the police equipment alone cannot be an opponent. Once a head-on fight occurs, dozens or hundreds of police officers will be killed or injured. The treatment cost for these police officers alone will probably cost hundreds or tens of millions. , and this does not include property damage such as police cars.”

"And if Connors' conspiracy succeeds and the lizard agent is spread throughout New York, the losses will be astronomical."

Joey clapped his hands.

"You heard me, Peter, although it is inappropriate to measure human lives in money, but it is precisely because of our performance that New York City was prevented from losing at least hundreds of millions of dollars, so we really deserve this mere 100 million bonus. , you don’t have to feel guilty at all when taking it.”

After listening to the two people's words, Peter felt like his outlook on life had been refreshed, and then he thought of Uncle Ben's famous saying.

"But Uncle Ben once told me that with great ability comes great responsibility. You should not seek rewards for doing good deeds..."

After finally hearing this curse-like quote from Peter, Joey had an unhappiness-inducing urge.

"I say Peter, although I feel sorry for your dead relatives when I say this, as your friend, I still want to say that your uncle's understanding is too one-sided. The so-called greater ability, greater responsibility, its origin should be It is a famous saying by the famous British politician Edmund Parker and the French Enlightenment thinker Voltaire.”

“One of Edmund Parker’s famous quotes is that with great power comes greater danger of abuse.”

“Voltaire’s famous saying is that with great power comes great responsibility.”

"Do you understand? The essence of these two famous quotes is to restrain power! They are aimed at those who are powerful, not ordinary people like you and me."

After hearing this, Peter quickly took out his smartphone and started searching for Edmund Parker and Voltaire. After seeing the full text of the other's famous quote, the belief that had always supported him in becoming a superhero was a little shaken.

Captain America saw this and came over.

"Peter, your Uncle Ben is a good man. He said that because he didn't want you to do bad things with your superpowers."

Peter nodded repeatedly, but Joey poured cold water on him again.

"Of course Uncle Ben's intentions were good, but he ignored Peter's age. People of his age are just starting out in life, and it is a prime time for galloping horses. As a result, because of the saying that with great power comes great responsibility, Life is full of constraints, look at Tony Stark, who is also a superhero, how carefree he lives?"

Whether in comics or movies, Captain America and Iron Man are enemies. Especially when they have never fought together, they are unhappy with each other.

"Joy, do you admire Tony Stark?"

"I don't admire it enough. I just think that people should not bully the weak and bully the weak, but they can't live a good life and deliberately seek suffering. Who stipulates that superheroes have to suffer? Why can’t I live a good life relying on my extraordinary abilities?”

Joey tapped Peter on the shoulder.

"In my opinion, as long as you can stick to the bottom line of being a human being and don't use your extraordinary abilities to do illegal things, it's fine. As for making money based on your abilities, or even becoming a rich man like Tony Stark, it's not necessary at all. Do you feel guilty?"

Although Captain America still disagrees a little, considering the situation in Peter's family, he can't say anything else. After all, he is single and has a large amount of endorsement fees and allowances, and he has no position to persuade Peter to live a hard life.

Seeing that even Captain America had nothing to say, Peter's heart became even more shaken.

"I want to go back and think about it..."

Looking at Peter's dazed back, Captain America glared at Joey reproachfully.

Joey smiled.

"Captain, I know you are worried that Peter will go astray. In that case, why not take him with you for a while?"

"I?"

"Yes, anyway, you are now a staff member of SHIELD. Rather than staying in DC, you might as well settle in New York. This is your hometown and the economic center of Ugly Country. Compared with DC, it is obviously more Can you use your strengths?"

Captain America thought about it and felt that what Joey said made sense.

When staying in DC, apart from sitting in the office, he also performs tasks to wipe Nick Fury's butt from time to time. To be honest, Cap is very tired of this kind of life.

In addition, he is not short of money, and he doesn't care about SHIELD's salary at all. In this case, returning to his hometown of New York to settle down is indeed a good choice.

"Okay, then I will take Peter with me for a while, hoping that he will not lose himself in his power."

"With captain supervising me, Peter will definitely become a righteous partner."

In this way, Captain America moved to New York ahead of schedule and began to partner with Peter, becoming a crime-fighting duo.

Compared to Peter, Captain America is a ruthless man who has been on the battlefield. Whether it is combat experience or tactical command, Peter cannot compare.

Especially when it comes to his attitude towards criminals, Captain America is not as kind as Peter.

If surrendering is okay, once those gangsters resist, especially with guns, America will definitely treat them as enemies, and they will either kill or maim them. It can be said that as long as they are gangsters who dare to raise their guns at America, they will be punished in the future. I no longer have the ability to bully others in my life.

In just one month, the crime rate in New York has dropped to a record low. Coupled with the fact that Captain America has a military background, even media outlets like the Daily Bugle do not dare to pour stolen money on him easily, even with the number of times Peter has been hacked. It has also dropped a lot.

The people of New York are happy that the crime rate has dropped, but the gangs and the forces with interests entangled with the gangs are not happy.

In a dilapidated auto repair shop in Brooklyn, Hammerhead, the boss of the Maggia Gang, drove in with his antique Lincoln car.

The door to the repair shop closed, and the empty ground suddenly opened, revealing a lift.

The Lincoln drove onto the lift and immediately began to descend. Soon it arrived at a laboratory full of technology.

Just looking at the appearance, there is at least a 20-year difference in technological content between the underground laboratory and the repair shop on the surface.

The car door opened, and Hammerhead walked out first. Behind him were two strong men.

"William Baker and Alexei, today is the turning point in your lives. Come in with me."
