My days as a landlord in Gotham

(four)

Brad wasn't that kind of bitter woman either, so he stopped talking nonsense after a little sarcasm about S.H.I.E.L.D. Anyway, he was doing well as a vampire hunter.

Moreover, Brad's real income now is much higher than when he was in the Howling Commando, not to mention that there is no restriction from S.H.I.E.L.D., and he is more open when dealing with vampires.

"You can choose the bed at will, and the bedding and so on are all new.

Although the conditions are simple, but the basic hygiene is still there. "

Before leaving, Brad ordered a few words, "This is one of the very chaotic areas in Gotham City. If you want to go out, it is recommended to wear your guns."

After speaking, Brad turned around and left the room, leaving the room to Phil and the three of them.

"Your subordinates still have a lot of resentment in the game."

Phil is different from other agents, he really loves S.H.I.E.L.D.; at the same time, he is also the most loyal supporter of Director Nick.

"Why were the Howling Commandos disbanded back then?

In fact, according to your combat ability, even if you don't deal with those alien creatures, you can become a combat force against other forces. "

"Do you think S.H.I.E.L.D. is really an organization that simply protects the earth?

After all, this is one of the largest secret organizations in the world, and its budget is one of the largest among all organizations in the world. Can you guarantee that the people here have no other ideas? "

Dum is the first batch of employees of S.H.I.E.L.D., so he has heard a lot about S.H.I.E.L.D.

"The Howling Commandos are simply too strong to put other field forces to shame.

Finally, there is an opportunity to disband the Howling Commandos. Do you think those who have been suffocated by us will not unite against us?

What's more, compared with other field forces, our greatest characteristic is also our greatest weakness, because we are a team composed of humans, vampires, werewolves, ghosts and wizards.

In the end, the bureau dismissed us because our team had uncertain security risks, so Brad was so dissatisfied.

Importantly, when our group disbanded, werewolves and vampires began to return to the city and cause harm.

When we were here, there were no jobs for vampire hunters or witchers; but since we disbanded, there have been more of them.

No way, after all the cops and National Guard can't deal with vampires and werewolves, right? "

The next day, when Li Lei woke up, he just heard "Cartier Jewelry Exhibition" on the radio

Showings started today.

Generally, this kind of commercial marketing exhibition is eager to start publicity half a year in advance, but when you come to these luxury brands, they look like you don't want to come.

Anyway, the potential customers have already been notified, and it doesn't make much sense for others to come.

And there are too many people, and it also destroys the appreciation quality of potential customers.

Therefore, such a relatively large-scale jewelry exhibition has been carried out in such a low-key manner, and the method of obtaining tickets has not yet been announced.

Li Lei inadvertently praised Cartier's aloofness.

"If I knew there was a Cartier jewelry exhibition here, I should have brought a high-order dress here."

Sitting in Li Lei's black tiger, Doudou was still complaining softly that her dress was not high-end.

But in fact, this dress is the new season's new dress they just bought at the Chanel store. Although Li Lei paid for it, according to the rules of the homestay system, the money will be deducted after Doudou returns to her dimension. return.

"And I didn't wear any Cartier jewellery, are you sorry for the organizer?"

"Ms. Doudou, we are just a group of ordinary people looking at jewelry, not VIP guests invited by the organizer, so it doesn't matter what we wear."

Li Lei had no choice but to comfort him, "Besides, with Ms. Doudou's appearance, any clothes can look outstanding on you.

As for not having any jewelry, it doesn't mean that if we like something at the scene, we can buy it directly, doesn't it? "

Hearing Li Lei comforting Doudou in front, Jason couldn't help complaining in the back seat: "Women are trouble!

I just couldn't stand the trouble and broke up with my girlfriends.

It's better to be a boy, there are no such messy things. "

"How old are you?

What kind of girlfriend are you? "

Hamada Hiroshi finally said, "Don't say that some things are gone, you will be at the exhibition hall soon, have you buttoned your suit yet?

Is there a bow tie? "

"If I had known it would be so painful to see a jewelry, I would have stayed at home and played the game console."

Jason said with a bitter face.

Jason is still a child, and as long as he is a child, he is full of curiosity about the world outside his home.

So when Li Lei asked Jason if he wanted to go to the jewelry exhibition, Jason who didn't understand what jewelry was at all immediately agreed.

Since the ticket stated that formal attire was required, Li Lei had to take Jason to a tailor three blocks away to buy Jason a children's suit.

Jason has never worn formal clothes, so he feels very uncomfortable with the restraint of suits.

"Do people in the upper class love to torment themselves like this?"

Although the Cartier Jewelry Show was not publicized with much fanfare, there were still many media at the show.

In addition to the local media in Gotham City, national media such as CBS and CNN also arranged for reporters to interview.

Ordinary visitors like Li Lei naturally did not have public relations and etiquette personnel to guide them, so the four of them entered the exhibition site through the side door with tickets.

For the Cartier Jewelry Exhibition, Li Lei's perception is "money, money, money"

Although there is no price tag below each piece of jewelry, the description keeps emphasizing how rare these raw materials are; how hard the designers are; how serious and hardworking the craftsmen are... These are actually hinting to potential customers that such rare pure natural pure artificial jewelry , are you embarrassed to ask for a low price?

But for Doudou, it was like entering the side of heaven.

In fact, the entire exhibition site was full of women screaming in low voices one after another and their eyes shining like hungry wolves; while the men looked helplessly at their wives or girlfriends who were completely out of control.

Since the exhibition hall on the first floor is unlimited, basically anyone with a ticket can visit it.

So Li Lei and the other four walked around downstairs and then went straight to the second floor.

Only VIP visitors and special guests can visit the second floor, but the tickets for Li Lei and others are VIP tickets, so the four people were allowed to pass after checking the tickets at the entrance of the second floor.

Compared with the jewelry on the first floor, the jewelry on the second floor is more luxurious, and the materials are naturally more rare.

In addition, most of the jewelry displayed on the second floor has its own inheritance and behind-the-scenes stories, which can be regarded as cultural relics.

And when Li Lei was studying a certain necklace of Queen Elizabeth I boredly, the watch on his hand suddenly vibrated.

After Li Lei was surprised, he clicked on his system panel. The progress bar of the new task in the task panel moved forward a bit, and the task description changed to "The host has found the item, please take it as soon as possible."

According to the instructions of the treasure detector watch, Li Lei found the item that the system was looking for not far away.

The shape of the prop is a ring, and such a ring is said to be a cultural relic of the Bourbon dynasty.

The precious thing about this ring is that it was one of the favorite jewelry of Queen Marie Antoinette, who was executed in the French Revolution, and even wore this ring when she was beheaded.

After reading the introduction about the ring, Li Lei suddenly felt that the ring was too ominous.

And when Li Lei was looking at the ring, Doudou leaned over, bit his ear and said softly: "So you fell in love with this 'Bloody Ruby Ring'!

Your vision is vicious enough. The value of this ring probably accounts for about half of the total value of jewelry at this Cartier Jewelry Show.

This ring was originally a work of the Holy Roman Empire. It is said that the ruby ​​on the ring came from Africa and was blessed by the Pope at that time. Later, the ring was brought to France by the Habsburg royal family of Austria as a dowry.

It is a pity that the Pope's blessing did not shelter the poor bride, and she was finally pushed to the guillotine by the fanatics in her country.

The French government has always wanted to buy back the ring, but was rejected by Cartier.

But it seems that Cartier can't resist the pressure from the government, so it's put in this exhibition, hoping that some wealthy American can buy it at a high price.

What, are you going to steal this ring? "

"Miss Doudou, are you kidding me?"

Li Lei also replied in a low voice, "Theft is a crime in the United States."

"Is it legal for me to steal oil paintings in France?"

Doudou pouted, "This unfortunate ring should be sealed forever.

Mr. Li, don't you want to be the knight who seals this ring?

I can help you. "

To be able to talk about stealing so freshly and refinedly is probably Doudou, right?

Although Li Lei was very excited, he would not fight unprepared.

He stood up and took Doudou to admire other jewelry.

While Li Lei was visiting silently, Li Lei actually found an acquaintance in the crowd.

The first acquaintance is the glamorous Selena Kyle, who is here to admire jewelry pretending to be a famous lady.

And from time to time, she chatted in a low voice with the ladies around her, which caused a burst of coquettish laughter.

Li Lei can be sure that those noble ladies are definitely seeing Selena for the first time, but Selena conquered them with her words and hints in her words.

She is indeed the Catwoman who can play Batman in the palm of her hand in Gotham City.

Li Lei admired secretly.

Although Catwoman belongs to the "supervillain" in the official division of DC comics

But at the same time, she belongs to the "Bat Family" that represents the side of justice.

It can be seen from this that Catwoman is a character who walks between justice and evil.

Catwoman loves Batman very much, but at the same time she is dissatisfied with Batman and tries to reform him.

It's no wonder that among Batman's several girlfriends, the one who can give Batman children does not include this one.

But among all Batman readers, Catwoman is the most popular among Batman's girlfriends.

Now that Catwoman is here, Li Lei didn't accidentally see Bruce Wayne.

Regardless of whether the Wayne Group is not as good as before, the Wayne family is still the leading wealthy family in Gotham City.

Therefore, the appearance of Bruce immediately caused a commotion on the second floor, especially after learning the names of some of Bruce's recent actions, countless women took the initiative to post them.

While talking to these courtesans, Bruce looks around for someone who can get him out.

Then, he saw Li Lei.

He apologized very sorry to the women around him, and then walked in front of Li Lei with great enthusiasm, "Oh, my dear Lei, I didn't expect to see you here!"

And then a big hug.

"Bruce, don't you think you're acting too fake?

Since when did the two of us have such a close relationship? "

"I don't want to eat meat today, so I have to pretend to be familiar with you to get rid of those women, can't you help?"

"It's okay to help, but your enthusiastic look seems to have some PY transactions between the two of us that cannot be made public."
