American comics: Because I am Batman
Chapter 6 A strange underworld king
"Isn't Kingpin out yet?"
After rejecting another socialite who invited him to dance with him on the dance floor, Wayne looked at the rostrum. The host was still telling inappropriate jokes and did not introduce the protagonist of tonight's banquet at all. mean.
Maybe it would be a good choice to agree to the invitation of a famous lady just now and go to a nearby room with her to have an in-depth communication.
He is very popular among the rich second generation in New York, even more popular than Tony Stark.
Although his reputation is just like that under his own deliberate manipulation, compared with Tony Stark, who can tell at a glance that he is playful and has a frivolous attitude, he is obviously much calmer.
Moreover, it is said that the reputation is just that, but famous celebrities in New York City all know how much moisture there is. Even under Wayne's deliberate manipulation, his behavior was misinterpreted as a marketing method to enhance his reputation as Wayne - have you not seen Tony Stark's bad reputation?
So what if it's a bad reputation? Who is New York City's biggest philanthropist? Isn't he Wayne? That thing is just tidbits at best and not worth mentioning at all. When New Yorkers today think of Wayne, in addition to his rosy news, the second thing that comes to mind is Wayne's philanthropic work.
It might as well be as simple as just opening a Wayne Charitable Foundation. He really opened Wayne almshouses and the like all over the federal country. Wayne Charity can even be seen in some areas abroad. .
The Federal League of Nations are not all fools. Many of them know what is going on behind the charitable foundations opened by wealthy people. It is really rare for someone like Wayne to actually invest money into it.
It's just that this has nothing to do with Wayne. If you have to ask him, his answer will always be: I am very ashamed that I have made a small and insignificant contribution.
Moreover, a philanthropist was invited to a banquet by the biggest gangster in New York City. It doesn’t make sense no matter how he looks behind his back, right?
But people today do not associate the name Wilson Fisk with the feared Kingpin.
After all, Wayne is not the only person in New York City who is good at hiding his second identity.
Just when Wayne was about to get impatient, Kingpin, now Wilson Fisk, finally came out.
"Hello, dear guests, I feel extremely honored to be able to invite so many celebrities to my dinner party!"
This big guy who looked like he was not much different from the Hulk walked out from the podium and said in very elegant terms.
To be honest, the impression this guy gave people was completely different from the word "gentle", but when he put on a suit and spoke politely, he really looked like a human being.
But yes, Wayne now looks like a human being.
"But tonight, a special guest has arrived, which adds great color to my banquet! Please allow me to use such words to describe him, and I do not mean to belittle other guests. Because this guest is all The biggest philanthropist and entrepreneur in New York, and even in the entire Commonwealth, Mr. Wayne!"
The hall suddenly darkened, and then a beam of light shone directly on Wayne.
He was not used to this, after all, no bat would like to be illuminated by light.
But now he is Wayne, a human being, not Batman, not the greatest fear of New York City criminals.
The people around him all turned their attention to Wayne and began to applaud. Regardless of whether he means it sincerely or not, Wayne has this status anyway.
Not convinced? Then compare with him, whether it's wealth or fame, even if it's gossip, no one in New York can compare to him except Tony Stark.
After adjusting his emotions and putting on a well-honed fake smile on his face, Wayne slowly walked to the podium and took the microphone handed to him by Jin.
"Mr. Wilson didn't mention that to me in advance, and I never thought that I could have such a heavy weight in Mr. Wilson's heart.
But tonight is a networking dinner, and what Mr. Wilson just said is really not that good. All the gentlemen and ladies here have reputations and abilities that are no less than mine.
So I decided that I will drink all Mr. Wilson's wine with you tonight as punishment for him taking me so seriously! "
"Wow, then Mr. Wayne must open his stomach. I have prepared a lot of good wine tonight!"
The funny conversation between the two, which was full of federal characteristics, made all the guests laugh. At the same time, they also laughed off Wilson's attitude of attaching great importance to Wayne just now.
After all, they don't really think they are weaker than Wayne.
"Mr. Wayne, after all these years, I can finally invite you to my banquet!"
After some more scene talk, the dinner party officially began, and the guests all began to look for their dance partners, or went to the dining table to see if there was any expensive food that could fill their noble stomachs. Kingpin followed Wayne to the luxuriously decorated floor-to-ceiling windows.
"Seriously, I really came here to drink all your wine!"
Wayne smiled and shrugged.
"So Mr. Wayne, do you think the wine we have here is to your taste?"
Jin Bin's attitude suddenly changed. He was smiling and looking honest and kind. But now his eyes suddenly opened wide, staring at New York City outside the window, and his tone became heavier.
That's when Wayne knew he was about to get down to business.
"It depends on how much wine you have, Mr. Wilson. If you try bottle after bottle, you can always find one that suits my taste!"
"The best wine here is a new bottle of wine. Drinking a bottle of new wine can make people forget all the darkness and all the sins. But this bottle of wine is still in the brewing stage, and it may still need some help from you, Mr. Wayne. Give me a little help."
Wayne was silent for a moment. He knew Kingpin very well. Although this guy was an out-and-out gang leader, he was also a person who sincerely worked for the good of New York City - of course, this good must be defined by him.
He believes that only by letting him Kingpin unify the underworld in New York City, use his own iron fist to restrain those criminals, and make New York City become...
It becomes his own paradise.
Wayne wouldn't be deceived by this guy. As Batman, how many times had he fought Kingpin? Doesn’t Wayne know who those people under his command are?
As if he has no responsibility for the current state of New York City...
"I'm not very good at making wine."
"It doesn't matter, my wine cellar is the largest in New York City, and the others combined may not be as good as mine. Mr. Wayne can experiment with my wine as much as he likes, and slowly learn how to make wine."
I am afraid?
Wayne was keenly aware of a word that should not have been in Kingpin's mouth. He has studied Jin Bin in this world. This guy is a resolute, extremely conceited, and scheming king of the underworld. He will never take action without being 100% sure, or even... There are absolutely no uncertain words in his mouth.
I'm afraid it means that his power is not to conquer the entire New York underworld, so why does he still say "brewing new wine"? Why is he so eager to establish a new order for the New York underworld?
At this time, outside the floor-to-ceiling window, in the dark sky, a bat symbol lit up.
"It was this impurity that made my favorite bottle of wine smell so bad!"
Kingpin naturally also saw the bat lamp, but he snorted coldly and said it in a stiff tone.
It seems Kim doesn't know I'm Batman.
Wayne thought silently in his heart, this is really not Gotham, there is no such thing as everyone with a name knows who Batman is.
"I'm afraid I'm busy with work and can't help Mr. Wilson make wine." Wayne took a deep breath and looked at the bat logo in the sky: "But I'm still looking forward to Mr. Wilson's new wine."
This means that he, Wayne, will not help Wilson build his underworld empire, but he, Wayne, will not stop Kingpin from dominating the underworld.
Wilson raised his eyebrows: "I didn't expect that Mr. Wayne would be afraid of the impurities in the wine when he drank."
He probably thought Wayne was scared after seeing the Bat-Light.
In this case……
"Because I've had it before, and the taste is really unforgettable. Thinking about it now makes me want to vomit." Wayne said with a wry smile, looking as if he had been beaten up by Batman.
"That's really a pity, but if I can meet Mr. Wayne's expectations, my new bottle of wine has a sufficient foundation!"
Wilson smiled and patted Wayne on the shoulder.
He didn't use any force, it was very light, otherwise Wayne wouldn't be able to withstand such a blow just by looking at him now.
However, Wayne still pretended to be queasy and even closed the curtains: "Mr. Wilson, I suddenly felt unwell, so I left first!"
"Please, I'll have someone take you off! Mr. Wayne."
Looking at Wayne's leaving figure, a twisted smile appeared on Kingpin's face - but only for a moment. Without superb dynamic vision, he would not have been able to see it at all.
"It seems that bat offended a lot of people..."
Kingpin murmured in a low voice: "That's just right. I'm still thinking about what I should do if there is no Spider-Man here!"
Wayne, who had just gotten into the car, suddenly felt a chill, like a ray on his back.
"Jinpin, what are you planning?"
