The next day, early morning.

Peter went downstairs and saw Uncle Ben watching the news on TV.

The picture on TV seemed to be in the ghetto of Brooklyn.

It was raining lightly in the sky, and umbrellas were spread out on the wide front lawn. The reporters holding microphones were not less enthusiastic, as if they didn't care about the bad weather at all.

The TV station's broadcast truck was parked on the side of the road, broadcasting today's ceremony to the whole city.

On the TV in every household, you can see young people standing on high platforms, witnessing the upcoming changes in the city.

"Today is an extraordinary day and a day that opens a new chapter in New York."

Tony Stark stood on the stage in a suit and tie. He looked back at the slums behind him.

"My father, my family, they all love this land and this city deeply! My ancestors bought the first factory here, and then countless foreign tourists with dreams poured in here, and those who took the boat

Passengers, sailors and even captains came one after another, looking forward to a bright future!"

"Soldiers left their barracks, farmers pawned their fields, servants left their masters, workers threw down their tools, civil servants left their desks, and even missionaries left their missions... The yearning for wealth and the pursuit of dreams made this land a

An adventure playground for everyone!”

"My father told me countless times about that glorious era, which was an era of pioneering!"

Tony Stark changed from his usual frivolity and spoke affectionately and lowly.

The fine raindrops are like cow hair, falling freely.

The scene was completely silent, as if everyone's breathing could be heard.

The rich and famous people present, senior officials in the city hall, and journalists from major TV stations couldn't help but recall the changes of the last century following Tony Stark's words.

"Some people say that this city has fallen, while others say that this city has lost its former dignity..."

"My father has said many times that he feels ashamed! Because he has not made the contribution he should make to this city, and can only watch this city become worse...I stand here today, just want to do

Make some promises, I. Want to make some amends for this city, that’s what I want to say.”

Reading the specially prepared speech, Tony Stark felt a little uncomfortable.

But he still insisted on reading the text on the manuscript.

Warm applause broke out, and everyone present stood up.

The thunderous applause gradually died down, and Tony Stark walked off the stage.

His performance ends here.

In the living room.

Watching Tony Stark on TV, Peter asked Uncle Ben: "Is he preparing to run for mayor?"

"Probably not, but if he runs for mayor now, he will definitely be elected directly."

Uncle Ben said to Peter: "This billionaire not only disbanded his company's weapons manufacturing department, but also rebuilt the slums. He seems to be a little different from before."

"Whether it was a sincere thought or a high-sounding statement, in short, he received full applause."

Uncle Ben shook his head and said with emotion: "One thing is irrefutable. He really wants to make this city better."

"It's not easy."

Peter was silent for a moment, looked at the picture on the TV news, and said to Uncle Ben: "He can't change anything."

"We can't say for sure."

Uncle Ben quickly got down to business, "Peter, can you go to the bank with me? I'm going to handle some business."

He wanted Peter to go to the bank with him.

Ever since he knew his nephew's identity, he had asked Peter to be his bodyguard when he went out to handle financial business.

"certainly."

Peter nodded, "I'll drive the car."

After driving on the road, the two quickly arrived at the nearby First National Bank.

After entering the bank, Uncle Ben went to the counter to handle business, while Peter sat in the lounge area and read the newspaper.

Since it was the weekend, there were many customers coming to the bank to handle business, and the whole hall was buzzing with people.

After reading the newspaper for a while, Peter frowned.

He stood up and walked towards Uncle Ben.

"Uncle Ben, I have something to tell you."

"now?"

Uncle Ben looked at Peter in surprise.

"Now, let's go out and talk."

Peter's keen perception sensed unusual things happening outside.

For the sake of Uncle Ben's safety, it is better to pay Uncle Ben to the bank first.

As soon as Uncle Ben and Peter walked out of the bank, a group of people broke into the bank and broke up the noise in the bank.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen!"

A wild voice rang out in the bank lobby, followed by the roar of a Remington shotgun that often appears in police movies.

"boom!"

The bank hall, which was originally full of life, suddenly lost its voice, as if someone had strangled the neck.

From the noisy sound at the beginning, it turned into a very sudden and sudden silence.

Several gangsters wearing black hoods broke into the bank.

They held the collars of the security guards downstairs and walked in from the outside in a swaggering manner.

The one walking in front fired an empty shot without saying a word.

"No one is allowed to move, just lie down on the ground!"

The leader raised the shotgun in his hand, pointed it at the surrounding citizens, rotated it in a circle, and then pulled the trigger toward the chandelier above the hall.

The huge roar once again scared all the citizens and trembled, fearing that the cold muzzles would be aimed at them.

"For the sake of your own life, it's best not to act rashly. And even if you are lucky enough to call the police...it will take ten minutes for the police patrols to get here recently."

This group of robbers was obviously well prepared and had calculated in advance the time for the New York Police Department to dispatch police forces.

"And before that—"

The hooded robber turned his gun in a relaxed tone and pressed it against the security guard's chest.

"There's no problem in killing them all."

With a "bang" sound, he smashed the shotgun into the opponent's face, knocking the security guard to the ground.

The frightened citizens immediately fell silent.

After frightening the surrounding citizens, the robbers began to withdraw money from bank staff at gunpoint.

The leader of the robbers, walking in the hall, seemed not to feel nervous at all as a robber.

Unlike other companions, his entire face is covered by a black hood.

He revealed his chin with a sharp and thin line, and his beard looked like sparse weeds.

"There are only three minutes left, speed up!"

After looking at his watch, the leader urged his men.

The gangsters armed with guns also ordered bank staff to load money quickly.

five minutes ago.

George Stacey was performing his daily patrol duties as usual.

After the Spider-Woman incident, with the help of Frank Custer (The Punisher), he resumed his duties, but his duties began to be reduced. In addition to sitting in the office, he also had to perform patrol duties.

Through the lowered car window, he saw his black partner, Jeff, buying hot dogs outside.

After getting in the car, his partner handed him a newspaper, "Did you see the latest news? Tony Stark has become an entrepreneur who is passionate about charity."

"It's a nice change."

George nodded, "This city does need to make some changes."

In the New York Police Department, he was used to seeing a lot of corruption and political deals, and he also had a lot of emotions in his heart.

"Hmm, I think the NYPD has to make some changes too."

The black partner said to him: "Yesterday I saw Fleiss 'extorting' at a convenience store."

The Fries that Jeff was talking about was a white man who was involved with some gangsters, collecting bribes and acting as a lackey. This was something that many people in the New York Police Department knew.
