The Time Controller of American Comics
Chapter 242 The Moth to the Fire
Jonathan still remembers that time when he was invited by a group of young people to travel around on bicycles, because Jonathan rarely had time to himself. Although it was only more than a month, everyone separated and stopped contacting each other, forming a temporary group. The teams also went their separate ways.
But Jonathan has lived in this world for more than a hundred years, spending most of his time alone in his own laboratory, waiting for the photos sent back by his mother and sister from their travels.
At that time, he had not fully taken over Stark Company, and he still had a lot of free time. Under the instigation of his mother and sister, Jonathan did the only thing in his life that he felt was not very rational.
But Jonathan has no regrets about that bicycle trip, because after all, it brought him a lot of happiness.
Jonathan will basically not attend the dance, except for some individual and necessary dances, but this time he also wants to meet a teammate who traveled with him in the team. He also didn't expect that this Nicholas would give birth to a daughter who was Marvel's female assassin Erica. If it was as he said that his father's life was in danger, Jonathan could only say that he would try to help as long as it did not affect his own interests.
There are always some flattering upper-class people on both sides of Jonathan. These people are originally superior in status in the eyes of ordinary people, but "people are not satisfied". Of course, there is no progress if they are satisfied, and they always want to cooperate with Jonathan. Get the chance to rise to prominence.
"Mr. Green, I am xxx, the general manager of Croticia Fashion Group. I heard that you like to collect some antiques from before and after World War II decades ago. This is the gramophone I collected. Although it is not a good thing, it is still This kind of gramophone is basically no longer preserved intact.”
"Mr. Green, I am xxx, the chairman of Shenghuang Technology Company. I have always been your admirer. As a landmark figure in information technology, we have always regarded you as our role model. You see, this is the reason I collected Photos of the first computers and mobile phones that you took the lead in developing and producing."
Many of these people have achieved little success and have been up and down the business world. They know that first of all, money, beauty, and power are unlikely to be attractive to people of Jonathan's status.
To put it bluntly, Jonathan has everything they have, and Jonathan has everything they don't have.
They also know that just flattering people may be useful for those who are arrogant, but since Jonathan can reach such a peak, blind flattery may even have the opposite effect.
So they did their best to play into Jonathan's preferences, and some even directly approached him in various ways.
"I have collected all your business cards. If I need you anywhere, I will call you."
This was the first thing Jonathan said without expression when he entered the dance. Even though he was so indifferent, these people who specialize in beard-twisting didn't feel a little embarrassed. Firstly, they need to be thick-skinned when they come out to be shameless. Secondly, they all know Jonathan's character. He is reticent and doesn't like lively environments.
Jonathan walked through the crowd one by one, and these people also gave way to Jonathan, but the strong Kingpin stood motionless at the main entrance.
Kingpin watched all this with gritted teeth. Ever since he became a gangster and ruled the dark area known as "Hell's Kitchen", Kingpin has always wanted to have the wind and rain, and he enjoys the flattery of these people. Flattery, but he never thought that one person would take the limelight in this dance.
"The moth flying into the flame tells us a truth. If the thing you want most is too persistent and unscrupulous, it will ignite itself when it flies towards the light. If we are like it, we have some problems with some people. If you can’t let go, you may also lose your life.”
Jonathan's silver hair was blown in the air by the strong wind mixed with raindrops. He leaned on his cane and looked at Jin Bin who was standing in front of him with an expressionless expression.
Jonathan picked up the candlestick near the long table by the door. There were several small white moths about the size of fingernails surrounding the candlestick. The moment they swooped into the light was the moment their lives ended.
If Kingpin was smart enough, he knew what he was talking about, he knew what he was talking about, and if he could not forget the Nicholas family, then he would also lose his life. It's very simple that Nicholas appeared here today at his invitation, which means that Nicholas' family has been "protected" by himself.
No matter how angry Kingpin is at this moment, he has to endure it. If he really stands on the opposite side of Jonathan, neither he nor the underworld will exist at dawn.
Jonathan believed he had this ability, and he believed Kingpin knew he had it.
Jonathan rarely interacts with people in gangs. There are many big gangs in this world. They hide in the dark and have their own trafficking channels and personal businesses such as casinos and nightclubs.
But no matter how big their business is, no matter how powerful their power is, they are still little people with no use value in front of Jonathan.
Kingpin's main source of income is actually underground boxing in the dark, where many high-ranking people become guests and have their own hidden websites. Jonathan even went to check it out a few times when he was free.
"Mr. Green, please come in."
Kingpin gritted his teeth fiercely. He was like a crazy beast. He was where he was today not only because of his immense strength and conspiracy, but also because he was crazy enough.
But at this time, he hesitated. In front of all his partners and subordinates, he took a step back, which meant giving in and regressing.
He hopes that after tonight, he will still be the underworld policeman who controls the underworld, and he will return to his Stark Group forever, and he and he will never be in conflict with each other. Although he thinks so, Kingpin still can't swallow this. Tone, maybe these people will talk about this matter after today.
Nicholas exited without incident, so they all thought that they would have a chance of survival if they exited.
"Mr. Green, you didn't bring a dance partner. How about my daughter Erica be your dance partner tonight?"
After hearing her father's sexy and heroic words, Erica couldn't help but frown. He didn't know what his father meant by what he said. He wanted to be a matchmaker, or just because Mr. Green didn't have a dance partner.
"No need, I can't dance."
Jonathan listened to soothing music in the hall, saw the excitement, and was ready to go home.
Upstairs, Jin Bin was still struggling. He was so tolerant, unable to explain himself either to his own power or to himself. However, it is rumored that Jonathan has countless super-powered subordinates. Although it is not known whether this is true or not, his power is real.
