[Zhongyingmei] Vampires don't want to inherit

Renault is not picky about the color of his hair. After all, his own hair can be switched between black and silver at any time. It is not difficult to add an extra red. If Renault is willing, he can change a color every day for a month without repeating it. of.The only thing that makes him feel uncomfortable is that this change is not out of his own will but to please others.

After thinking about it for a long time, Lei Nuo still asked the system to change him to a red hairstyle. After seeing himself in the mirror, he felt much more comfortable.The black-haired Renault is reserved and elegant, and his mystery from the inside out will make people afraid. The red-haired Renault is more flamboyant and willful. He adjusted his expression to make the man in the mirror sharper and more arrogant.

"Wow, I must say, you surprised me." When William came to pick up Renault, he brought a new suit, which was tailored to bring out Renault's waistline, and the neckline was naturally fitted. It is the fair neck and Adam's apple.When Renault's bony hands adjusted the bow tie, William couldn't control his eyes from staring at Renault's Adam's apple, and swallowed unconsciously.William didn't expect that Renault not only changed his hair color, but also cut his hair. The thin forehead hair was combed casually, and those blue eyes cast a cold color under the dim light.

It was only after getting in the car that William came to his senses. Renault’s look today was better than he imagined. Before he came, he was worried that Renault would find a random hair salon to dye his hair. That kind of cheap styling shop would definitely ruin Renault’s hair. beautiful hair.

The car drove to the hotel, and William began to explain the precautions to Renault. In his eyes, Renault was a simple guy who came from a small place and only knew about scientific research. He must have never been to this kind of dinner.You know, the waters of the showbiz are deeper than anyone imagined, and William must make sure Reno doesn't ruin his career through ignorance.

"The next thing you have to keep in mind. I know you have never participated in this kind of dinner, I will take you to meet some people, all of them are high in the fashion circle or rich or expensive in other fields , building a good relationship with them will help your career. Not only the model, but also your laboratory, who may be interested in your experiment among them...In short, you must carry Get up, don't show timidity, and must pretend that you are familiar with this kind of occasion."

Renault listened to William chattering in his left ear and out in his right ear, and he knew that William was doing it for his own good.It’s just that he’s seen a lot of this kind of dinner party. It can be said that he knows far more about the gameplay of this kind of banquet and the darkness hidden behind it than William.He also put in a lot of effort when running the Iceberg Restaurant, whether it was the staggering of drinks at the Iceberg Restaurant on the ground or the crazy games at the Iceberg Restaurant underground, he had more or less participated in it.

He didn't interrupt William's instructions, and turned his attention to William's clothes today.William's attire today is particularly elegant. In the past few meetings, William has dressed very stylishly. Today, he is less flamboyant and more serious. It seems that he really attaches importance to this dinner.

Renault didn't promise William that he would do well, just smiled.This smile is the social smile Renault is most familiar with, and it usually appears when he has to socialize.

"That's the expression, please keep it." William affirmed Renault's smile, and then began to talk about the etiquette that needs to be followed at the dinner party. He always has something to pay attention to.

Renault changed his expression a few more times facing the car window, which he found very fresh.When he was in Gotham, he was always the protagonist or VIP surrounded by everyone. This time he will be the green leaf surrounded by flowers, which is the first time.

After getting off the car, William handed the two invitation letters to the guard, and hurried into the hall.Renault subconsciously took a look at the entire restaurant. It was worthy of the five-star rating. Both the design and the decoration are great, but it is not as good as the Bingshan Restaurant.

There is a long red carpet outside the door. From time to time, stars and celebrities walk on the red carpet and stop to take pictures on the red carpet. No matter which reporters are rushing to the front line, Renault in the corridor can imagine going outside What a blinding camera flash.

William noticed Lei Nuo's gaze, thought he was envious of the people on the red carpet, and said a few words of comfort, "You are not famous enough to walk on this kind of red carpet, if you continue to fish for three days and post on the net for two days, Maybe next century you will have the chance to leave your name on the red carpet."

Reynolds shrugged indifferently to William's sarcasm. He didn't really want to walk on the red carpet, and then stood there stupidly for people to take pictures.Changing clothes and taking photos while working as a model is enough to annoy him.

What's more, people with really deep backgrounds are not willing to expose too much to the outside world. Even if they are occasionally photographed, they are mostly intentional and purposeful.Even if they have to use the media to create momentum to show their abilities when they start from scratch, they will invariably retire behind the scenes after they become famous.When you think about it, only those who need fame in exchange for profit will fully expose themselves to flashlights.And those who hold wealth and power are generally out of reach, after all, the more they are exposed, the more obvious their weaknesses will be.

Renault followed William into the hall, where there were already many people standing and talking together in twos and threes.Ladies in evening gowns stood next to their male companions with standard smiles, just listening quietly without interrupting.There were also many people playing in the game area on the left, bursting into laughter from time to time.Waiters wandered among the crowd with champagne.Lei Nuo simply looked around and could see that the real heavyweights hadn't arrived yet. The hall was divided into five factions. Looking at the characters in the central circle, it was clear that they were not all the way.

There were also many people walking up and down the corridors on the second and third floors. When those people saw the people on the first floor, their eyes were indifferent and arrogant.Obviously, the real heavyweights don't mingle with the regular guests.

William directly took Renault to a man surrounded by handsome men and beautiful women. That man was the target of William and Renault this time - Felton Arnold, the chief designer of ForOne.He has long blue hair that makes people unable to move their eyes away. When Lei Nuo approached him, he sensitively felt strange energy fluctuations in this man.

When Renault looked at Arnold, Arnold also looked at Renault through the crowd, and something reminded Arnold that the danger was approaching.

"Mr. Arnold, it's an honor to meet you. I'm William Fergus, the agent of Womenmanagement. I made an appointment with you before." William reached out to Arnold, but Arnold didn't shake William's hand. All eyes were on Renault.

His gaze scanned Renault several times like a searchlight, "Perfect, perfect."

Arnold's eyes were full of excitement and obsession, and an unnatural blush appeared on his face. He pushed away the people gathered around him and walked in front of Renault.He had the first head than Renault, so he had to look up at Renault.His impolite behavior made William stand still in embarrassment, but he didn't say anything when he saw that Arnold was interested in Renault, and naturally withdrew his hand.

Renault didn't like William's eyes. He thought Arnold was weird, especially the man's eyes.Although it seems that this man has an unusual interest in Renault, Renault can feel that it is not a disgusting animal desire, but a simple joy of discovering new things that will surely succeed.

"Are you self-recommended? What's your name?" Arnold spoke first.

"Reynolds Straw." Renault stared at Arnold's eyes, and finally found something wrong. He asked the system to extract the image from the eyes of the person in front of him, and what the system projected was Raynor's transformed vampire form.

Arnold tapped his eye sockets, and whispered, "The real eye can see all disguises."

"Come on, let's find a quiet place to talk." Arnold said loudly, took two glasses of wine from the attendant's tray, handed a glass to Reynolds, and walked to the balcony first.

William also wanted to follow, but was forced back by Arnold's eyes, so he could only keep winking at Renault, signaling that he must seize the opportunity.

Arnold didn't just find a place to talk to Renault, but took him all the way to the second floor.Each restaurant will have a balcony, on the one hand, it will look beautiful in the future, and on the other hand, it will provide guests with a quiet space to enjoy the scenery.

Arnold pulled up the door and curtains of the small balcony, and the small space was airtight. From the outside, he could only see two people inside, but could not hear their voices.The attendants and other guests also knew not to disturb them.

"Are you a mutant?" Arnold asked directly without hesitation.There are not a few mutants active in New York, but most of them hide their special abilities and live ordinary lives.For such innocuous mutants, neither Professor X nor Magneto will force them to leave their normal lives.

Arnold did not choose to stay in school because of his special ability, but came to New York to live his favorite life.He met a lot of mutants and would help them when they were in trouble.More often, he will judge the mutant's potential and temperament and inform Professor X or Magneto to ensure the mutant's own interests.

When he met Renault, he affirmed his status as a mutant and the degree of danger.Renault hid himself well, but there was nothing to hide from Arnold's real eyes.

Renault changed his social smile, approached Arnold with interest, reached out to fix Arnold's cheek, looked down at Arnold's eyes carefully.Renault's own eyes turned blood red, and this time he could clearly see the lines and power fluctuations in Arnold's eyes.It's a pity that his ability has come to an end here, he only needs to look at it clearly, other than that, it has no effect.

Arnold was stiff when he was restrained by Renault. When Renault released his power fluctuations, he realized that he had underestimated Renault. He began to regret his carelessness. He saw too many ordinary mutants in a high position. , subconsciously thought that Renault was the same, and pushed himself into the pit as a result.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm just..." Arnold fell into Renault's red eyes before he finished speaking, and there was a bottomless sea of ​​blood in those eyes. Arnold felt that his body and mind were sinking, he soul is burning.One inspiration after another burst into his mind, and he almost couldn't wait to record these inspirations.

After Renault almost understood Arnold's ability, he pushed him away, watching him write and draw on the paper he didn't know where.

"What are you just..." Renault asked naturally, "You are the first person who can see my disguise clearly. I don't know what kind of mutant I am."

Renault's words interrupted Arnold's thoughts, which made him very painful, so he put away the pen and paper.When he turned around, he saw Raynor showing his canine teeth. He smiled, "Isn't it a mutant or something? A vampire?"

Arnold seemed amused by what he said, "Maybe you don't know much about mutants, and mutants have various external manifestations. Have you really always regarded yourself as a vampire?"

As he spoke, Arnold also became serious. If Renault always thought he was a vampire, then he probably hurt humans. "Tell me, have you ever hurt humans?"

"Of course not." Not in this world.Renault shrugged, looking relaxed.

Arnold also breathed a sigh of relief, "You are coming to New York for the first time, I know almost all the mutants in New York."

"Yes, I am from an island in the Atlantic Ocean. Come to a big city to see if there is a job suitable for me. I never knew there were people like me." Renault half-truthfully told his background, the information from the previous system There is information about mutants in the website, he simply looked at it, but he didn't have any special ideas, and now he has a good idea.

"Island? That's not surprising."

"Most of the mutants are scattered all over the world, and only a few of them are gathered together. There are too few mutants, so we need to unite as much as possible. I pulled you out alone mainly to ask if you are interested in joining New York Mutant group.” Arnold still seemed a little nervous, he already felt Renault’s strength, if he was willing to join the New York mutant group, he would definitely be able to shelter them, but this kind of strong usually fight alone, he was not sure that Renault would unwilling.

Renault was silent for a while, which made Arnold even more disturbed. Before he knew Renault's ability, he pulled him over for Renault's benefit.The unity of the weak is also a powerful force, but it is hard to say whether the strong are willing to accept the drag of the weak.

"My honor." Renault agreed after pondering for a moment. His ambition to be the leader of the pack can start from leading the mutant group in New York.

Arnold suddenly became excited when he heard Lei Nuo's affirmation. He held Lei Nuo's hand, "In a few days, there will be a monthly meeting. Please be sure to attend."

……

After Renault went out from the balcony, he went straight to the bathroom, he needed to take care of himself.Renault was stunned when he opened the door and entered. The bathroom smelled faintly of blood. It was a mixture of spirits and donuts. It was a pity that the unpleasant smell of rusted metal was mixed in. , Let Renault suddenly lose interest.

There was a man standing in front of the sink. The clothes seen from behind were purely handmade suits, and the watch that was casually placed on the table was not ordinary.The mirror showed the man's front face. The suit was buttoned a few times, but the inside was not a shirt at all, it might be a vest or something. The loose tie looked like it had been torn apart violently.

The man had a handsome face, but the dark circles under his eyes and the weakness caused by lack of rest for a long time made him look a lot more depressed.The smell of blood came from this man's fingertips. When Renault came in, he was sucking his injured finger. After seeing Renault, he took the time to tidy himself up, and left the bathroom in good spirits again. Renault gave him a look.

Renault didn't pay more attention to that man. Even if he had a face that fit Renault's aesthetics, the smell of his blood was already enough for Renault to avoid. I don't know how he managed to combine such an unpleasant smell with a good one. The flavors meld together.

William waited for almost an hour before seeing Renault at the banquet again. He grabbed Renault, "How did you talk with Mr. Arnold?"

"He seems very satisfied, but I'm not sure, you know, people like them don't decide such important things just because of the slight favor they meet."

"Well, you're right." William breathed a sigh of relief, at least Renault didn't make Arnold loathe the first step, wouldn't it?When he looked up and wanted to say a few words of praise, he saw that Renault had already mixed into the crowd, and after that it was time for Renault's free activities.

The system listed all the important people in this banquet, and Renault selected the target after reading it.When the waiter passed by Miss Potts, Renault hit a wave of energy to the foot of the waiter, and the waiter lost his footing and fell towards Potts for a moment.Renault took two steps forward to stand in front of Miss Potts and supported the waiter, preventing the wine in his tray from spilling on Miss Potts.

Pepper Potts wore a backless evening dress today. If he was splashed with wine, he would definitely make a fool of himself. When Reynolds helped the waiter, he avoided the waiter’s injury and Pepper Potts’ embarrassment. The blazer Raynor had brought over was completely ruined.

"Oh, thank you so much, sir." Pepper Potts was all focused on the man playing with two beauties before, and he didn't notice the unexpected situation at all.She looked at Lei Nuo gratefully, and hesitated when she saw Lei Nuo's face, "I seem to have seen you, sir."

Renault smiled, "I think you may have seen my information in the document? I am Renault Straw, and I have submitted a proposal to Stark Industries before, about the nano heart."

"Yes, that's a very good idea. It may be a major breakthrough in future medicine. The leapfrog development of medical technology will benefit mankind. This is what Stark Industries has been pursuing." Pepper Potts was a little embarrassed. In fact, she I haven't seen Renault's proposal, so I might have been screened out halfway.The real reason she was familiar with Renault was that she had read the fashion magazine a month ago, and she was impressed by Renault's outfits.She also bought a few of the same style for Tony, who changed into them the next day and seemed quite satisfied. This type of clothes is mainly comfortable and casual.

She still doesn't know that Renault Straw is a scientist, and a scientist and a model don't go together.However, the nano heart that Leno said interested her very much. Since Tony came back from the Middle East, she has been in a bad state and she has been looking for a solution.

Pepper avoided Renault's eyes and saw that Renault's suit was wet. She couldn't help but feel a little guilty. She knew that models like Renault who had just entered the industry usually didn't make much money.The suit was most likely provided by the company. Renault destroyed the suit in order to protect him, and he might have to pay the company a lot of money.

"I'm so sorry. It must be uncomfortable to wear this wet, why don't I take it back to wash and send it back to you." Pepper made a suggestion, although she said so, she would definitely not be able to wash Renault's clothes , buy one of the same style and give it to Renault as an apology.

Renault smiled indifferently. In fact, he didn't have any special feelings. He had already used energy to remove the alcohol from his shirt.Pepper Potts offered to make amends, but he couldn't refuse directly, so he took off his suit jacket.

When Pepper Potts turned his attention to unexpected events, Tony Stark's game of billiards also ended. He drank a whole glass of champagne excitedly, and the two beautiful female companions beside him He pressed a kiss on each cheek.When Tony Stark was excitedly preparing to start the next round, Rhodes appeared behind him, chattering non-stop.Recently, the Ministry of Defense has been pestering Tony Stark, hoping that he can donate the steel armor worn by his bodyguards.Rod was entrusted with this honorable task as Tony's rare friend.

Tony Stark felt that it couldn't go on like this, Rhodes had completely ruined his interest in having fun.He cast his eyes on Happy, hoping that Happy would come and take Rhodes away, and he could use any excuse.But when he looked at Happy, Happy's eyes were not on Tony at all. Happy was staring in one direction, his eyes seemed to be able to shoot out flames, and the napkin in his hand was pinched out of shape by Happy.

Tony followed Happy's line of sight, and he could just see a man talking happily with Pepper. While talking, the man took off his suit jacket and handed it to Pepper. Tony felt that the nerve in his brain was broken instantly. up.

He just noticed that Pepper is very beautifully dressed today, different from her vigorous and elite female image in the company. The mermaid evening dress and combed red hair add a bit of charm to Pepper, and the pair of ears on her ears The earrings sparkled in the light.Tony felt sore in his heart. He remembered that the pair of earrings were a birthday present from Harpy to Pepper, and he also knew that Pepper entered the arena as Harpy's female companion. The two of them had a good impression of each other.Tony knew clearly that his time was short, so he chose to indulge himself and do everything he wanted to do, but that didn't include women who robbed his friends.

Both Pepper and Happy are very important people around him. He didn't want them to be sad for him for too long after he passed away, so he took the initiative to push the woman he liked to Happy who loved her.However, he would never allow a little boy to destroy the relationship between Pepper and Happy.He pushed away the people around him and stepped forward to interrupt Raynor and Pepper's conversation.

"Pay attention to your image, sir. A qualified gentleman should not take off his clothes casually in front of a lady, unless this person is a hooligan. Pepper, you should be wary of those who have malicious intentions." In Tony's voice With cynicism and alcohol, he brought a strong smell of alcohol when he came.

Reynolds and Pepper Potts stopped talking at the same time and looked at Tony Stark.The two chatted very happily before, talking about the beginning and end of Renault's experiment from the latest fashion in New York.Pepper was a little surprised to find that Raynor's research has already made a lot of breakthroughs, and it can be seen that there is great hope for success. If there is enough financial support, nano-heart technology can be realized, and it may help Tony's physical recovery. .She had to go back and find out why such a good project was not reported.

"Tony, you came just in time. I want to introduce you to this medical genius, Mr. Renault Straw."

Tony Stark looked Renault whole, his eyes focused on Renault's hair, face and figure, and he recognized that he was the man in the bathroom.He snorted softly, "Genius? Who in this world dares to call himself a genius in front of Tony Stark."
