Chapter 1902: Sense of Ritual (Please give me a monthly ticket on the last day!!! Please give me a monthly ticket on the last day!!!)
Gwen's parents and friends all came to Stark Tower... Actually, Gwen's parents were not invited at first because George and Helen didn't know that Gwen and her friends were doing chivalrous things together.
But if it involves reconstructive surgery, neither Tony nor Pepper can hide it from Gwen's parents, after all, she is still a minor. Tony didn't pay attention to this matter at first. You can't expect Tony to have such delicate emotions. Pepper did, but unfortunately, she has always been Gwen's best friend. Gwen's intelligence and maturity always make her forget the fact that Gwen is a minor. So both of them forgot that Gwen had to confess this to her parents.
It was Riven who discovered all this.
In her words: "Although you all agree that Gwen can have this operation, don't forget that Gwen is not yet an adult. She must discuss it with her parents, and then get her parents' consent before she can have this operation!"
"This is my own business, I don't need to tell my parents." This is what Gwen said at the time.
Looking at Tony and Pepper who were already wavering at the time, she could only firmly emphasize that she did it voluntarily.
At this time, Tony and Pepper realized that they were despicable and felt that they were luring minors, so no matter what Gwen said, they refused to perform the operation on her. Then Gwen was forced to find her parents.
Naturally, George and Helen refused without hesitation!
When George heard that his daughter had been doing chivalrous deeds with Spider-Man without his knowledge, he almost fainted. What's worse, under his questioning, Gwen, who had already been exposed, had no choice but to reveal the identity of Spider-Man, and also told about Jane and Harry.
It's all over now.
To be honest, although George showed that he didn't like Peter at all, he didn't dislike Peter that much deep down in his heart. Peter was a good boy, and even George, who had always been on guard against Peter taking advantage of him, had to admit that.
Peter is well-behaved, responsible, and kind. Although he has a good impression of his daughter, it can be seen that he has never done anything beyond the rules. The key is that this child is smart, has always been at the top of the class, and can invent many small things. If nothing goes wrong, such a child should go to a good university. Even in the United States, it is not necessary to go to a good university to have a good future.
But the probability of having a good future by going to a good university is much higher than for those who have never gone to college!
Besides, no matter what Peter is like, he is much better than those people who are idle all day long, doing nothing and just thinking about coaxing girls into the car to do that!
Peter is much stronger than those little yellow-haired boys or will-o'-the-wisp boys!
But they didn’t expect that Peter was the Spider-Man that gave the police so many headaches. What’s worse is that their precious daughter is actually Spider-Woman!!!
This is really... George just felt dizzy and his blood pressure rose.
After a period of chaos, the family was able to talk calmly.
However, George was even angrier. If he had thought Peter was an excellent boyfriend before, now this impression was completely overturned. This guy is even worse than the yellow-haired boy!
To be honest, George is not that kind of old-fashioned parent. He is actually quite happy to let his children fall in love. After all, if you don't fall in love when you are young, when will you fall in love? Only when you have more experience when you are young, you will not be deceived when you grow up. Compared with Chinese parents, American parents are much calmer when it comes to their children's early love. They call their children's early love "teenage love", which means "the short-lived love of boys and girls". They think this is a beautiful vision, just like losing teeth and replacing teeth, it is a natural thing in the process of children's growth. In the United States, almost more than half of parents believe that children over the age of 16 can go out on a date alone. If the child does not have friends of the opposite sex at this age, parents will worry instead, and even help their children make friends of the opposite sex.
But this guy Peter!!!
The yellow-haired guy can only cheat people out of money and sex, and with Gwen's personality, she will just cry like crazy afterwards. George used to look down on those yellow-haired guys, but now it seems... Peter is even worse than the yellow-haired guy!
The little yellow-haired guy is just a scumbag at best, but Peter has changed Gwen's entire life!
On a more serious note, it's about kidnapping and Gwen's life in New York.
It is the top level PUA.
This is intolerable.
But Gwen firmly told her parents that she liked the life of chivalry, and at the same time brought up Stacy's experience. Stacy was Gwen's alternate dimension counterpart who had traveled through time and space before. George and Helen didn't believe it at the time, and many misunderstandings occurred.
George was almost furious. He felt that his daughter was threatening him.
Fuck, is he going to cut off ties with his old father? ? ?
Mother Helen is still calmer.
She seriously asked Gwen if she really liked this kind of life, rather than forcing herself to like this kind of life because of impulse and feelings for Peter. This is very important. Compared with her father who is a policeman, mother Helen is a housewife. She has never thought about what kind of person her child must become in the future. As long as she is truly happy, it is enough.
George, like most ordinary parents, hopes that his children can succeed and have the best life. So he hopes that his children can have a clear life plan and can follow it seriously and responsibly.
Neither of these two ideas is wrong. The essence of the ideas is the same, both believe that their children will have a good future.
One is more emotional, the other is more realistic.
Helen didn't let Gwen answer immediately, asking her to think it over before speaking.
So two days passed.
These two days not only made Gwen think clearly, but also made them calm down as parents and decide whether to support their children. During these two days, Helen, a housewife, actually took the initiative to find the Stark Group and met Tony and Pepper.
This kind of thing would never have happened in the past. Helen would never take the initiative to find such a big shot. Even if she wanted to find one, it would be George who would do it. Unfortunately, in order to avoid the emotional George from shooting Tony, Helen took the initiative to take on this task.
Honestly, Helen's arrival made Tony and Pepper feel guilty, and they realized how big a mistake they had made. (It was just like when Tony gave his glasses to Peter and asked him to take on such a heavy responsibility, Tony never thought of asking Peter's guardian to explain everything... It wasn't intentional, but he never thought about it, he didn't have such delicate feelings at all)
Facing the gentle Helen, Tony and Pepper felt even more guilty. In fact, this is also the wisdom of housewives. Because of how much George cares about Gwen and Tony's unreliability, George will definitely fall out with Tony.
Don't think George is a politician just because he is wearing a uniform and looks like a high-ranking official. George is a rare man who sticks to his principles. He will not be a softie just because Tony is the richest man in the world.
Instead of that, it would be better for Helen to use a gentle blow like this to hurt Tony more.
Indeed, if it were George, the two would immediately start arguing, and then Tony, angry and humiliated, might insist on performing transformation surgery on Gwen.
This kind of thing, the willful Tony can really do it. After all, in his opinion, the operation is very safe and has great benefits. Why should he refuse? I am right!
But with the gentle Helen, Tony sat obediently throughout the whole process, and apart from apologizing continuously, he also promised that he would never rashly perform surgery on Gwen without the consent of Helen and George. When Helen asked about the matters and risks of the surgery.
Tony did not brazenly say that it was absolutely safe, but tried to be objective and very conservative in explaining the details of the surgery. It was a bit like those doctors in the hospital who were afraid to give any possible hints when performing surgery on patients, and they would only conservatively mention some possibilities that would make people worry.
Very un-Tony.
Helen never said anything excessive, not even a word of blame, but thanked them for taking care of her daughter, which moved the two men so much.
That's how it was settled.
This is much better than George coming to negotiate.
Gwen, who had figured it out, officially found her parents and stuck to her previous idea.
"I have thought about it seriously these past two days, and I am now sure of my thoughts. I don't deny that at the beginning, I did embark on this path because I admired Peter."
George was very excited and was shouting something. He knew that this bastard must pay the price, but Helen directly strangled his fate, and he shut up and sat down.
"But!"
Here comes the turning point.
"But I really think what I do is meaningful, and I am very happy!"'
"What do you mean by meaningful? Isn't this what the police should do? What do the police do when you do these things?!!" George couldn't help it even if Helen pinched him.
However, Gwen is no pushover.
One sentence veiled George.
"Your top is, Uncle Kai, the strongest superhero!"
George was speechless.
This fact made George speechless. He said that superheroes hindered the police. You know, the person the police admired the most was Kai! Kai brought too much change to the city, and ordinary policemen could clearly feel this change.
In the past, the reputation of the New York police was not very good. After all, they were thugs of the powerful class, and ordinary people had very little trust in the police.
There is no other way. Police funding depends on government funding and donations from the rich. Government funding is proportional to taxation. Rich people can naturally get better services, and poor people... take it for granted.
But after Kai came, the police department has never been short of funds. The government's funding has increased, social donations... How should I put it, the biggest contributors are always Stark Group and Wayne Group. The abundance of material conditions has reduced corruption in the police department in disguise... New York is big, and it's not easy to live. The salary of the police is really not high.
In order to earn more money, the police officers at the grassroots level will naturally try to make some extra money. This is human nature.
This is also the point that makes the grassroots people most unhappy and has greatly affected the image of the police.
As for those in the upper echelons who colluded with the mafia to do big things, it didn't have such a big impact... After all, it was shameful, so not many people knew about it. However, the lower-level policemen were more naked, so naturally they were also widely known by the lower-level people.
But as funds become more abundant and benefits improve, low-level police officers benefit the most.
In addition, the anti-corruption work has been done very well, so naturally not many people will take risks.
With sufficient funding, better equipment, better training, more sufficient personnel, faster and more professional response times, the image of the police will naturally improve.
People are not fools, and they can tell at a glance who brought all this about.
If not him, who should we worship?
Worship the president in the White House who has nothing to do with them?
"Dad, I know you are worried about me, but isn't this operation a good opportunity for me to become stronger?" Gwen said to George seriously.
Then George agreed.
No wonder!
There were many difficult and arduous challenges in the process, and Gwen had already made a plan. She found that her mother still supported her, so she first persuaded her mother, and then joined forces with her mother to persuade her father.
In fact, Gwen's idea was to ask Kai for help.
Unfortunately, Kai refused very straightforwardly.
Just kidding, it's best for outsiders not to interfere in this kind of thing, otherwise they will be in trouble. Besides, Kai doesn't support Gwen doing this.
Kai actually doesn't support this surgery.
If you are strong, will you be safe?
wrong!
As you become stronger, the enemies you have to face will also become stronger!
You will never be safe, you will only get deeper and deeper!
And what position does Kai have to speak up? George can kill Kai with just one word. Does he want his precious daughters to become superheroes?
unwilling.
Kai has never been happy about Theresa and the others forming a beautiful girl special forces team, but he just can't get them to agree, and Raven doesn't stand on the same front with him on this matter. In Raven's opinion, the three children are special, and they can't live an ordinary life. Instead of pretending to be ordinary people, it's better to direct their power to the right place.
Kai has been depressed.
So deep down, she felt that Gwen should go to school normally, take the college entrance examination normally, fall in love normally, get married and have children normally, and live a normal life.
So he couldn't stand his ground at all.
It was a bit strange for him to even give advice on what kind of life Gwen was going to choose, let alone help. She was going to take a difficult path, and Kai could stop her and persuade her. He definitely couldn't add fuel to the fire.
Even when Gwen wanted Peter to appear on the scene, Kai strictly forbade her.
Just kidding, Peter was just adding fuel to the fire. This was just a little yellow-haired kid who was getting ahead of himself. No father could tolerate this. With George's personality, he could even shoot Peter to death. Anyway, this is what Kai thought. If any of his three darlings dared to get ahead of themselves one day, he would definitely kill him without saying a word!
So if Peter went up, not only would it not be of any help, but it would actually make things worse.
The key point is, what can this silly boy Peter use to convince George and his wife?
Doesn't he know what a superhero is?
Just look at Daredevil and you will know that this is the norm. People like Kai and Tony are the exceptions.
Fortunately, although Gwen's parents were worried, they were ultimately unable to resist their child's choice... Parents can never defeat their children, at least most of the time.
So the surgery was finally decided.
Today is the day of surgery, and Gwen invited all her friends over, making it like her birthday.
