Darkness Rises

Chapter 15 Painting Exhibition
The next day, a gray Aston Martin DBS supercar roared down the streets of Manhattan.

And behind this car, there are three Cadillac black SUVs, lined up in a row and trying to follow.

The terrifying aura of the convoy made all the vehicles passing by pull over to make way.

Today is the school day off, and Ivan and Gwen made an appointment to go to the art exhibition together.

Last night, the plan was successful, and the complacent and high-spirited Ai Wen drove the supercar from the garage, not only to pretend to be aggressive, but also to show the importance he attaches to girls.

Today, he personally drives a dazzling supercar to pick up the girl he likes for a date.

As for Dex, Night Walker and other bodyguards, they followed behind in the convoy.

Just last night, he had arranged a place for the three newly accepted mutants.

The planned operation was very successful. The Lankokhov brothers led the Russians and swept up all the gangster dens of the Irish. The gangsters hiding inside were either killed or completely succumbed.

And even some fish that slipped through the net were arrested and sent to prison with the cooperation of the New York Police Department.

Under this kind of vigorous and resolute and complete victory, there will only be one result.

From now on, the Irish gangsters with a long history in Hell's Kitchen are completely wiped out!

And the three mutants were handed over by Ivan to the Lankohoff brothers. The hedgehog with mediocre ability will completely join the gang life in the future and help the Lankohoff brothers deal with the territory and business left after the demise of the Irish, as well as Power vacuum.

As for the more talented Night Walker and Arc Light, the two of them will take turns serving as bodyguards beside Allen, and the other will help the hedgehog manage the underground gangs.

As for the opinions of the Lankokhov brothers, there is no opinion.

The two of them didn't dare to have any objections to Aiwen's order, and they didn't even dare to raise the slightest sign.

The puzzle of New York's underground world is more complete, and Ivan is one step closer to completing the system's mission.

"Om~~~Om~~~Om~~~"

The excitement made Aiwen unconsciously increase the roar of the supercar engine, and the passers-by could only watch him walk away.

Lower Manhattan, Greenwich Village

In front of a high-rise apartment building, a beautiful girl with a blond ponytail and a yellow suspender dress, showing a proud and slender figure, was standing in front of the apartment gate with some anxiety.

After being stimulated by Peter Parker's attitude yesterday, she impulsively agreed to Irving Hammer's date invitation and accompanied him to the art exhibition.

In fact, later in the day, she felt a little regretful in her heart. She never thought of making such a big progress in the relationship between the two of them.

In fact, during the recent period, Ai Wen has been launching an emotional offensive against her. It's not that she doesn't feel it, and she's not a fool, especially when her friends around her have been acting as the opponent's wingman and a small trumpet.

It stands to reason that she should be happy. After all, Alvin Hammer is so handsome, personable, full of gentlemanly demeanor, and his family background is extremely prominent. The family business Hammer Industry is one of the few military industrial groups in the United States.

She doesn't have any reason not to like the other party, she should throw herself into the other party's arms after holding back for a while.

This is everyone's opinion on the relationship between the two.

But, before that, a figure had already walked into her heart, but that person had disappointed her countless times recently.

"Buzz~~~ hum~~~"

The sound of the supercar bombing the street came from far to near, and quickly drove into the door of the apartment building. The handsome man sitting in the super convertible sports car had already set his sights on Gwen.

In front of the apartment building, flamboyant girls passing by were already screaming loudly. They couldn't wait to take out their mobile phones and take pictures of this handsome boy.

Aiwen got out of the car and came to Gwen. Looking at the other party's beautiful appearance, he couldn't help but praise: "Gwen, you are so beautiful!"

"Thank you, thank you, you are handsome too!"

Gwen felt a little suffocated at this time, and even stuttered a little when speaking. There was no way, Aiwen's appearance was too arrogant, and the aura of pulling the wind really shocked this high school girl.

Seeing Gwen's nervous expression, Ivan smiled and opened the car door for her.

"Beautiful girl, I wonder if I have the honor to invite you to board my pumpkin carriage?"

Hearing that the handsome Ivan uttered such childish love words, Gwen couldn't help but glared at him angrily.

But because of this, Gwen finally returned to normal. Seeing the commotion around her and the screaming little girls, she could only quickly get on the supercar.

The Aston Martin DBS drove away with a pair of handsome men and beautiful women, and at the corner of the street behind them, two or three black SUVs quickly turned out and followed them aggressively.

This scene deeply shocked the hearts of passers-by, and they were all guessing which super rich second generation was out of the street.

Manhattan, Chelsea.

This is one of the art centers in New York, where countless artists hang out and hundreds of world-class galleries are located here.

Today, the art exhibition that Ivan took Gwen to participate in was held by a newly opened gallery. The reason why I came here to see the art exhibition was not because it had any world-class artworks to be exhibited.

One reason is that Ai Wen wants the first date between the two to be full of artistic romance, without being too impetuous and boring.

The other is because of the identity of the hostess of this gallery.

"Is this the gallery?"

Gwen came down from the supercar, and she had adjusted her emotions slightly. She decided that no matter what, at least she couldn't live up to Ivan's enthusiasm today.

Ai Wen nodded with a smile: "Yeah, this gallery has just opened, the reason why I chose this gallery is because its owner is indeed a person full of artistic accomplishment!"

"Oh~~~ Ivan, thank you for your compliment!"

As the two entered the gallery, a mature, plump, and elegant woman walked over, and she obviously heard Aiwen's praise of her.

Gwen looked curiously at the beautiful mature woman in a tight skirt in front of her.

"Hello, I'm Vanessa Mariana, the owner of the gallery that Ivan said is full of artistic accomplishment!"

Vanessa ignored Ivan and introduced herself to Gwen immediately.

Hearing that the other party was the owner of the gallery, Gwen immediately stretched out his hand to hold the right hand extended by the other party, and introduced himself: "I am Gwen, Gwen Stacy, Ivan's... classmate!"

"Oh?"

Gwen's introduction aroused Vanessa's curiosity, and she looked Aiwen up and down with profound eyes: "Such a beautiful girl, is it just your classmate?
You know, this is the first 'girl' you introduced to us! "

Ivan glanced at Gwen tenderly, and said softly, "It's a classmate, and the girl I'm pursuing!"

"Wow!"

Vanessa was amazed, but Gwen was extremely shy. She found that the love Ivan gave her was so blatant.

At this time, Aiwen also said to Gwen: "Don't underestimate this beautiful woman, she is a good salesman, and I have several paintings from her gallery in my home."

Immediately, he deliberately whispered in a low voice that everyone could hear clearly: "And every painting is ridiculously expensive!"

"Hmph, but you can't question my vision!"

Seeing the other party's pretended angry expression, Ai Wen also hurriedly said: "That's right, the artistry of these paintings is beyond doubt!"

"Okay, don't play tricks here, let Miss Stacey visit today's art exhibition!"

With that said, Vanessa took Gwen's arm and led her into the gallery.

Gwen raised her spirits secretly, trying not to appear stage frightened!

Aiwen has been following the two ladies, acting as a background board to adjust the atmosphere, but the relationship between the two women has heated up rapidly, and they have abandoned their surnames and called them by their first names directly.

At this moment, Aiwen keenly felt someone approaching behind him, and when he turned his head to look, he found that it was a huge, strong white man with a bald head.

On the side, Dex, who had been secretly protecting him, also walked forward quickly.

Aiwen waved to Dex calmly, signaling him not to be nervous, and then took the initiative to move forward to meet the burly man.

"Mr. Fisk!"

"Evan!"

The palms of the two were firmly held together!
