Remember [lnmao.org] in one second, fast update, no pop-up window, free to read!
The banquet is definitely not just about eating, drinking, and drinking. In fact, in a banquet attended by people in a certain circle, unless it is a dinner for someone close, the scene of eating, drinking, and drinking will not appear, and they will not waste their time on eating, drinking, and drinking.
This is more like a place for exchanging messages and interests, and narrowing the relationship between the participants, especially the giant banquet in the Wayne castle. For the entire Gotham's dignitaries, stepping in here is itself a self-identity And a symbol of status.
A lot of times, a big business is settled in the interlacing of the two and the exchange of less than 1 minute. Yes, human relations are always a wonderful thing.
When a dinner party gathers 70% of the city ’s high-profile figures, the guests will naturally appear to be full of gold, but the glory of these guys can be seen from the luxury car parked outside the Wayne castle, so when they are After squeezing in an old Pickup that looked and stood out, the casually dressed Cyber and the Kevin with a hemostatic band on his face immediately became the center of attention of all guests.
Although in modern society, it is difficult for such a banquet at this level to show the kind of unreasonable scorn and suppression, but it is impossible to remove the class thing. In the elaborately dressed or curious, Or ridicule, or ignoring the eyes, a relaxed Cyber walked into the hall with a slightly shy Kevin.
The Wayne castle was built at an earlier time when the United States became independent. The first ancestor of the Wayne family was one of the first British Puritans who arrived on the American continent on the famous "Mayflower". In the eyes of older people, this is also an important reason why the Wayne family is so prominent in Gotham. Their history is almost the history of the entire United States.
As an ancient building that has existed for more than 200 years, Wayne Castle has a strong post-Victorian style. The outside looks stable and low-key, but the interior decoration is very gorgeous, and the crystal chandelier spreads from the top floor of the hall. The hall will be full of food and drinking, and it will be covered with thick carpets.
Successful people talked a lot, as the embellished beauties gathered together chattering, and some people sitting in the corner of the clean place sat there spitting clouds, and everyone who was good at drilling camp walked around with a glass of wine. The big brothers stand on their positions and will not move easily. They are flatterers and beggars, and those with lower status surround them.
The self-proclaimed nobility and lowliness, the smiling face that strives to climb upward and the gentle smile with distance, speculation and drilling camp, exchange of interests, talking about evil under the lights, everyone in the hall is laughing, but watching Less than a sincere smile.
In the eyes of Cyber, this is almost like a ukiyo-e. People are looking at him cautiously, but he does n’t care about their eyes, like there is an invisible crack that will tear each other apart, He is not a member of this circle, and he will never be one of them.
Cyber reached out and took two glasses of wine from the tray in the hand of the waiter next to it, and handed it to Kevin who stood next to him and looked at the life of a truly high-profile person curiously. For this young man born on Narrow Island, follow him The original life trajectory, everything that happened here may have nothing to do with him in his life.
Cyber handed him a glass of wine and patted him on the shoulder,
"Relax, boy, well-dressed big men will soon be overthrown, and then they will have to pray for us to save them. You came here as a savior, of course, do n’t ask yourself Not interesting, have you seen those beautiful ladies? "
Cyber pointed to a few lonely beauties standing in the corner of the hall. They were exposed in dress, but there was a trace of uneasiness and embarrassment on their faces. It seemed that they were brought by a guy with insufficient foundation. When busy dealing with other people, these lovely girls become abandoned people.
With a smirk in the corner of his mouth, he bumped the shoulder of Kevin and whispered,
"Go comfort those girls’ uneasy minds, you tell them that you are the nephew of the housekeeper of Alfred, you can take them around in the castle, do n’t play too crazy, the phone is turned on, when I hear my order Go get the gadgets off the car, do you understand? "
Kevin was hesitant, he whispered, "I came for revenge, I can't ..."
"Do n’t be stupid!"
Cyber rolled his eyes and said impatiently, "If you want revenge, you must have your own life, otherwise the pressure will overwhelm you, and proper relaxation will allow you to enter the state better. Go, Forget the anger that Ed gave you, let it out when you need it, and keep your legs soft. "
Kevin does n’t speak anymore. The young man has some conviction for Cyber. He took a deep breath and walked over to the awesome girls with a wine glass. He had a gold invitation in his pocket Can help him solve many problems.
The banquet is only just beginning now. Shi Shiran of Cyber walked beside those exquisite foods, picked up the knife and fork, and skillfully divided, then fork a piece of beef into his mouth, he chewed the food intently, He needs to replenish energy in advance.
Although he only wears cheap casual clothes, Cyber has a certain demeanor when he eats. He is no stranger to this kind of occasion. Many tasks are performed in such banquets. , The identity is very complex, very suitable for some kind of assassination.
When he ate the third piece of beef, his shoulder was patted, and Lucius in suit and leather appeared beside him, looking at him with a smile,
"Appetite is good, young people, how is the cooking skills of Wayne?"
"Nothing!"
Cyber threw his thumb up and shook it, "It ’s as good as the gadgets they sent!"
"Oh, come with me when you ’re done. There are some things you need to know so you do n’t kill your friends by accident."
Lucius put the glass in his hand aside, reached for a fried golden fried shrimp in his mouth, and said vaguely, "This banquet was not held by Bruce, it was Earle, he planned to Use this method to "demonstrate" Bruce to tell him who is the leader of the Wayne industry. By the way, do you know Earle? "
"Well, why should I know him? A guy who can solve a bullet is meaningless to me."
Cyber put the last steak in his mouth, "They always think that money and power can buy everything. They decorate the circle of their lives and try to make them look like the king of the world. These big guys ca n’t learn. Yes, in the face of thugs, these things are meaningless, they are just being killed by the pigs still on the cutting board, whenever they want to kill, they will kill when they want. "
He picked up a table cloth, wiped his mouth with an elegance that was not suitable for his age, and then took a drink from the wine glass. The sweet taste made him frown, and he kept watching him carefully. Hughes said,
"So, I hate this kind of hypocrisy even in the wine, let's go, friend."
Lucius smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Then come with me, friend."
The two walked out of the hall, crossed a distance on the lawn, and finally came to the room on the left side of the Wayne castle. It was much quieter here. Lucius ’hand was on the threshold, and he turned his head and handed him a mask, then Whispered to Cyber,
"Do n’t mention Bruce too much, I mean, Batman!"
Cyber put the black mask on his face and nodded to him.
The door is open, there are 6 people sitting in the small room. Cyber only knows Alfred and Gordon among them. He has n’t seen the other 4 people, but from the perspective of demeanor, these guys are definitely real. Big man.
The masked Cyber walked into it and immediately attracted everyone ’s attention. Alfred stood up and introduced it to both parties,
"Everyone, this is the gentleman who provided us with accurate information. For his safety, please forgive him for appearing in a mask."
Several other people nodded and said that there was no problem. Alfred introduced it to Cyber again.
"This is Gotham Mayor Assistant Nestor, this is the local National Guard Colonel Thomas, this is the police chief Lauber, these three are responsible for evaluating the news you bring and the actions we can take , And finally Sheriff Gordon and my old friend Battier were on the sidelines. "
Of the five, only Gordon and Battier nodded to Cyber. The other three just looked at him with their eyes. Cyber did n’t say anything. He sat on the chair with carelessness. After he was seated, the fat The police chief Lauber asked impatiently,
"When I heard that a mob was coming to attack Gotham's, I thought that the Alfred housekeeper had drunk too much, and finally I realized that it was your message, then the mask person, tell me, where did you hear this? Whimsical plan? "
Arrogant, rude, and full of self-confidence that somehow came from. This fat man successfully let him see his first sight and wanted to take out his gun to kill him. Cyber understands Alfred and Bruce's hard work, they want to use official power to protect Gotham, they also lack confidence, but look at what teammates they are looking for.
Is Cyber the kind of person who will wrong me?
Hearing the fat man ’s unwelcome question, Cyber spread his hands and shrugged. He deliberately hoarse his voice, "There are many things in this world that you have never seen, so you think it does not exist. .. Just like an ostrich, refuse to believe that danger is by your side. Do you think that you are the only smart person sitting here, and I am just trying to deceive your debris? "
His body protruded forward, collided with Lauber ’s vicious eyes, and made a hoarse laugh. Cyber took out his phone,
"Then let us see who is the real idiot."
He flipped his finger over the screen and flicked the black and white sign in front of the eyes of five people. The National Guard major and Alfred ’s old friend, mercenary chief Battier, changed their looks, but the other three people I didn't understand the meaning of this pattern at all.
Lauber patted the table fiercely and scolded,
"You stupid boy, I already knew that you were trying to deceive us, what kind of thing was that, and what sign of a cult? Are you trying to deceive me with this? I should have put you in In prison! "
"Bang"
A louder voice interrupted Lauber ’s annoying chatter. Cyber hit the table with a punch, causing the objects visited above to jump violently and scare others. They looked at Cyber, the latter Tilted his head,
"Who can let this idiot who does n’t understand the situation get out? So that we can start a real discussion?"
"You !!!"
"Enough is enough, Mr. Lauber, please go out!"
Major Thomas put his palms on the fat man ’s shoulders, his voice was full of unstoppable assassinations. After being involved in S.H.I.E.L.D., the major had already got an 8-point affirmation of the fantasy news. Although Cyber's is rude, the time now really does not allow stupid Lauber to make a big noise here.
The major ’s move made the assistant mayor sitting next to him raise his eyebrows. He could do this job. The full presence of the mayor was not a fool. From the major ’s move, you can see that the black and white eagle just now The logo seems to be some kind of incredible organization.
He thought for a while and looked at the stupid director who was still scolding. The match between this guy and Falcone had discredited his position. Falcone helped him become the police chief. He helped Falcone become the Gotham's dark emperor It's not that he still knows how to use money to open the way, this kind of guy has long been washed away.
But that is his poor wisdom, and Mr. Nestor coughed lightly,
"Lauber, you go out first."
"Mr. Nestor, they are obviously talking nonsense, would you believe that a thug will come to attack Gotham? It's a safe place here! I dare to swear ..."
"Enough!"
Nest ’s voice increased a few degrees, he was not interested in listening to Lauber ’s arrogant speech, what Gotham Police Station looked like, he knew better than Lauber himself, "Please go out! Sheriff Gordon continues on behalf of Gotham Police Station Participate in this evaluation meeting. "
Cyber shrugged. Fortunately, there are still a few clear people here.
