Chapter 44
The banquet is definitely not just eating he he. In fact, in a banquet attended by people in a specific circle, unless it’s a dinner for someone close to you, it’s not like eating he he. It will happen, they won't waste time on eating he he.
This is more like a place to exchange news and interests, and to get closer to the participants, especially at the giant banquet at Wayne Castle. For the entire Gotham's dignitaries, you can step into this place. It is a symbol of self-rank and status.
Many times, a big deal is done in the two people's ambitions and the exchange of less than one minute. Yes, human relations have always been a wonderful thing.
When a dinner party gathers 70% of the upper-class people in the entire city, the guests will naturally appear to be full of real value, but the wealth of these guys can be seen from the luxury car parked outside Wayne Castle , So when they squeezed in an old Pickup that looked so conspicuous, the Cyber wearing casual clothes and Kevin with a hemostatic band on his face that came out of it immediately became the center of attention of all the guests.
Although in modern society, for this level of banquet, it is difficult to have that kind of nonsensical scolding and suppressing drama, but the thing of class is impossible to remove, in the well-dressed upper-class figure In curious, ridiculous, or ignorant gazes, a relaxed Cyber walked into the hall with a somewhat cowering Kevin.
Wayne Castle was built at an earlier time when the United States became independent. The Number One Person ancestor of the Wayne family was one of the first British Puritans on the famous "Mayflower" to reach the American continent. In the eyes of those older generations who value bloodline, 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 exterior looks stable and low-key, but the interior decoration is extremely gorgeous. The crystal chandelier is from the top floor of the hall. Spreading down, the hall will be covered with food and drinking, and the magnificent illuminated by the thick carpet of the hall.
Successful people talked loudly, as embellished beauties gathered together on chirp chirp twitter twitter, and some people in the clean corners were sitting there swallowing clouds and fog, and everyone was good at camping. While holding a glass of wine and walking around, the big bosses stand in their own positions and will not move easily. They are flatterers and beggars, and those with lower status surround them.
The self-proclaimed noble and humble, the smiling face that strives to climb up and the gentle smile with a distance, speculation and drilling, the exchange of interests, talking about evil under the light, the whole hall is laughing , But can't see a sincere smiling face.
In Cyber’s eyes, it’s almost like a Ukiyo-e. People are looking at him carefully, but he doesn’t care about their eyes, as if there is an invisible crack connecting each other Torn 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 hands of the waiter next to him, and handed it to Kevin, who was standing beside him, curiously looking at the life of a real high-class character. For this man born on a narrow island For youngster, according to his original life trajectory, everything that happened here may have nothing to do with him in his entire life.
Cyber handed him a glass of wine, patted his shoulders,
"Relax, child, the great and well-dressed characters will soon be overturned, when the time They have to pray for us to save them. You came here as a savior. Of course, don’t be boring. Have you seen those beautiful ladies?"
Cyber pointed There are a few lonely beauties standing in the corner of the hall. They are dressed in revealing clothes, but there is a trace of anxiety and cramps on their faces. They seem to be the foil brought by a guy with inadequate background, where that guy is busy dealing with other people. At that time, these lovely girls became abandoned people.
With a smirk at the corner of his mouth, he bumped Kevin’s shoulder and whispered,
"Go and comfort the restless hearts of those girls. Tell them, you They are the nephews of Alfred butler, you can take them to the castle, don’t play too crazy, turn on your phone, and go to the car to take off those baubles when you hear my order, do you understand?"
Kevin hesitated, he whispered, "I came for revenge, I can't..."
"Don't be stupid!"
Cyber rolled the eyes, no I said patiently, "You must have your own life if you want revenge, otherwise the pressure will overwhelm you. Proper relaxation can make you better enter the state. Go ahead, forget the anger that Ed has given you. Let it out when you need it. Just keep your legs soft."
Kevin stopped talking. Youngster was convinced of Cyber. He took a deep breath and held the wine glass toward the other side. A beautiful girl walked over with a bronzing invitation card in his pocket, which could help him solve many problems.
Now the banquet has just begun. Cyber Shi Shiran walked to the side of the exquisite food, picked up the knife and fork, skillfully divided, and then forkped a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth. He focused Chewing food, he needs to replenish energy in advance.
Although he is only wearing cheap casual clothes, Cyber has his own demeanor when eating. He is no stranger to this occasion. Many missions are performed in such banquets. people coming, people going, the identity is very complicated, very suitable for some kind of assassination.
When he ate the third piece of beef, his shoulder was patted, and Lucius in a suit and leather appeared next to him, looking at him with a smile,
"Good appetite Ah, youngster, how is Wayne’s cooking skills?"
"Nothing!"
Cyber gave it a thumbs up and shook it, "It’s as good as the bauble they sent me." !"
"hehe, come with me when you're done. You have to let you know about some things, lest you kill them and injure your friendly forces."
Lucius puts the wine glass in his hand On one side, he reached out and picked up a fried golden fried shrimp in his mouth, and said vaguely, "This banquet was not held by Bruce, it was Earle. He intends to "demonstrate" to Bruce in this way. Tell him who is the leader of Wayne's industry now. By the way, do you know Earle?"
"Hey, why should I know him? The guy who can solve it with a bullet is nothing to me. It's meaningless."
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 work hard to make them look like the king of the world. These great characters are always incapable of learning. Facing the mob, these things are meaningless. They are just killed by the pigs still on the chopping board. They are killed whenever they want."
He picked up a tablecloth, wiped his mouth with an elegance that was not suitable for his age, then took a sip from the wine glass. The sweet taste made him frowned, and said to Lucius who had been watching him carefully,
"So, I hate this kind of hypocritical place even in the wine, let's go, my friend."
Lucius smiled, "Then follow me Come, my friend."
The two people walked out of the hall, crossed a distance on the lawn, and finally came to the room on the left side of Wayne Castle. It was much quieter here, and Lucius put his hand on the threshold. , Turned his head and handed him a mask, and then whispered to Cyber,
"Don’t mention Bruce too much, I mean Batman!"
Cyber took the black mask Buckle on the face, nodded to him.
The door opened, and there were 6 people sitting in a small room. Cyber only knew Alfred and Gordon among them. He hadn’t seen the other 4 people, but just from the perspective of their tolerance, these guys are It must be a real great character.
Cyber with a mask walked into it and immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Alfred stood up and introduced to both parties,
"Everyone, this is for us For the sake of his safety, please forgive him for showing up with a mask. "
The other people were nodded, saying that there is nothing wrong with this. Alfred introduced to Cyber again, for his safety.
"This is Nestor, Assistant Mayor of Gotham, this is Colonel Thomas of the local National Guard, and this is Chief of Police Laub. These three are responsible for evaluating the news you brought and the actions we can take. In the end, Sheriff Gordon and my old friend Battier were the observers."
Of the five people, only Gordon and Battier signaled to Cyber nodded. The other three just looked at him with their eyes. Cyber didn’t say anything. He sat in a chair carefreely. After he took the seat, the fat police chief Robert asked impatiently,
"I heard a group of thugs When I was about to attack Gotham's, I thought Alfred the butler had drunk too much. Finally, I learned that it was the news from you, then the mask man, tell me, where did you hear this whimsical plan?"
Arrogant, rude, and filled with a self-confidence that came from nowhere. This fatty succeeded in making him want to take out a gun to kill him at first sight. Cyber understands Alfred and Bruce very well. 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 him?
When he heard fatty’s unceremonious question, Cyber opened his hands and shrugged, he deliberately hoarse, "There are many things in this world that you haven’t seen before, so you think it’s not Existence...like an ostrich, refusing to believe that the danger is around, do you think that you are the only wise man sitting here, and I am just trying to deceive you?"
His The body leaned forward and collided with Lauber’s vicious eyes, making a hoarse laugh. Cyber took out the phone.
"Then let’s see who is the real idiot. "
He turned his finger over the screen, and flashed the black and white sign in front of five people, the National Guard Major and Alfred’s old friend, the mercenary chief Battier complexion greatly changed, but the other three people didn't understand the meaning of this pattern at all.
Lauber fiercely slapped the table and scolded,
"You stupid boy, I knew you were trying to deceive us. What is that? What kind of cult sign, are you trying to use this to deceive me? I should have put you in jail long ago!"
"peng"
A more violent voice interrupted After Lauber’s annoying chatter, Cyber slammed a punch on the table, causing the objects visited on it to jump violently, startling others. They looked at Cyber, who tilted his head,
"Who can let this idiot who doesn't understand the situation get out? So that we can start the real discussion?"
"You!!"
"Enough, Robert Please go out, sir!"
Major Thomas put his palm on the shoulder of the fatty, his voice was filled with an unrejectable murder. After involving SHIELD, the major has already dealt with this The fantasy story’s news has an 8-point affirmation. Although Cyber's is rude, the time really does not allow the stupid Lauber to make a big noise here.
The major’s actions made the mayor’s assistant sitting next to his brows raised. He is not a stupid person who is able to achieve this position. He is not an idiot who is present on behalf of the mayor. From the major’s actions, you can see that just now The logo of the black and white eagle seems to be some kind of incredible organization.
He thought for a while and looked at the foul-mouthed idiot chief. The hookup between this guy and Falcone had discredited his position. Falcone helped him become the police chief, and he helped Falcone. Becoming Gotham's Dark Emperor, if he hadn't known how to use money to open the way, this kind of guy would have been washed out a long time ago.
But so is his poor wisdom, Mr. Nestor is lightly coughed,
"Laub, you go out first."
"Inside Mr. Ster, they are obviously talking nonsense, would you believe that a mob will attack Gotham? It is safe here! I swear..."
"Enough!"
Nestor’s voice has increased a few times. He is not interested in listening to Lauber’s arrogant speech. He knows better than Lauber what Gotham Police Station looks like, "Please go out! Representative Gordon Sheriff. Gotham Police Station will continue to participate in this evaluation meeting."
Cyber shrugged, fortunately, there are still a few sensible people here.
