Lady's Melaleuca Vest [Comprehensive British and American]

Seven o'clock in the evening, Gotham Diamond District, Aslan Hotel.

On the second floor of the banquet hall, a semi-open area where no one stepped on.

Lucia Williams leaned gracefully on the railing in a sheer white mermaid skirt that was tailored to perfectly frame her figure.This angle allows her to easily see the whole picture of the downstairs, but under the cover of the well-planned green plants, no one can find that there is a charming beauty hidden on the second floor.

And behind the beauty, most of the body is hidden in the shadows, wearing a cloak and a hood, a suspicious man whose face cannot be seen clearly.

"You shouldn't use Cathy to test Bruce Wayne." Lucia's expression was slightly cold, and her voice was tense, as if she was suppressing some kind of emotion.

"And you shouldn't abandon the holy woman chosen by the oracle, and instead choose a bastard of unknown origin." The man retorted back in a hoarse voice.

Lucia smiled mockingly, "'Holy Maiden'? Is this how you treat 'Holy Maiden'? Lock her up in an orphanage, don't give her food, always find excuses to put her in confinement, and guide her peers to isolate her and bully her." She, let her have been in a man-made misery, and even began to doubt whether she has the value of existence."

"Indeed not, her only value is her body, she is just a container," the man said ruthlessly, "This is a necessary process, she must hate, only enough hatred can bear the power bestowed by His Highness."

Just mentioning "His Royal Highness", the man's voice revealed strong fear, and at the same time, it was accompanied by fanatical and almost distorted worship.

"It's been six years, how many times have you done this kind of experiment, and how many times have you succeeded?" Lucia's beautiful eyebrows have been deeply frowned, "It turns out that this method just doesn't work—"

Lucia's voice cut off abruptly, replaced by a short breath.

A pair of thin hands like withered branches protruded from the darkness, with five fingers tightly clasped around Lucia's neck, dragging her half into the shadows.

Lucia's upturned face quickly turned red, and she was in a trance due to lack of oxygen, and the scene in front of her was blurred into large patches of gorgeous color.But she didn't feel scared at all, instead she showed a weird smile.

"Lucia Williams, recognize your identity," the man's voice was tyrannical, and the thin mist escaped from him and gradually thickened, "The reason why you are still alive..."

"It's because...you haven't found...a suitable...container..." Lucia tried her best to open her eyes wide. The man's figure was sometimes clear and sometimes blurred in her vision. She struggled but calmly, word by word. He said suddenly, "There's no need...to remind me time and time again, until now...do you think I...are still afraid?!"

Just a second before the man was about to suffocate Lucia, a light suddenly lit up on Lucia's chest, and crimson branches grew from her heart and quickly spread to her neck.

With scorching heat, the man's palm was burned to bloody flesh. He let out a pained cry, let go of his hand and took two steps back in fear, his knees softened and he knelt down.

"Please forgive me," the man seemed to have regained his senses. He lowered his proud head and respectfully said, "It's my subordinates who have overstepped."

Lucia covered her neck with one hand and pressed her chest with the other, clearly feeling her heart beating violently.She coughed intermittently, "Don't you think...it's funny?"

People in darkness practice dark things and use the power of darkness, but the gods they worship are full of holy light.

"We are all fallen people," the man stood up slowly, "Only His Highness can wash away our sins and give us supreme peace."

Lucia faced the man, stepped back out of the shadows, and returned to the position where she was standing at the beginning.

In fact, it wasn't very far, that is, it was a big step, but Lucia insisted on standing under the light, and this stubbornness seemed to reveal some kind of message.

"She's already dead," Lucia said through gritted teeth, "you killed her."

The man tentatively stretched out his hand, but this time he didn't dare to touch Lucia, he just stopped in front of her, his fingertips trembling slightly.

Seeing the pinched marks on her neck being healed by the gentle light, he said meaningfully: "As long as her memory is still there, she will be alive."

"Let's leave the unpleasant topic behind like this, let's talk about the latest things." The man bowed slightly to Lucia, and he said "politely", "You women are easy to soften your heart. Cathy is just a It’s only a semi-finished product, you can have as much as you want, is this worthy of your pity?”

"Or because your unbearable is not for her, but for Bruce Wayne?"

Lucia faced the man's inquiry directly, and said with a blank expression: "You men are easy to be arrogant. Bruce Wayne is an investor in the Justice League. Involving him is tantamount to making an enemy of the Justice League. Is there any benefit? ?”

"Hahahahaha!" The man suddenly laughed, the laughter gradually went from depressed to crazy, he bent down laughing, pressed his belly with one hand, and waved the other hand, "Sorry, I'm not laughing at you, I just couldn't help it .”

"What is the Justice League? You are afraid of them?" The man said contemptuously, "Is this the first time we have fought against the Justice League? What is the result?"

"Poor Wayne, he still doesn't know... huh."

"That's not now," Lucia said coldly. "As I said, arrogance will destroy you sooner or later. How did space A-07 disappear?"

The man's voice paused imperceptibly for a moment, "The young master of the League of Assassins is among the people who entered the space, that's a tricky problem."

"The detectives found Talia al-Ghul," Lucia's expression became serious, "What is the League of Assassins doing in Gotham at this time?"

"There are rumors that the child of the Devil's Daughter belongs to the Dark Knight." The man said with interest.

Lucia is obviously not interested in the gossip between superheroes and villains, "Stop making mistakes, and find a way to get them away."

"Don't worry, there will be no problems this time, everything is proceeding step by step." The man changed the subject, "But you, why do you have to adopt that child of unknown origin?"

Hearing the man mention Young Jill, Lucia unconsciously revealed a look of fear on her exquisitely made-up face.

"When he handed me flowers, I accidentally touched his fingers." Her voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing something terrible. "Then I felt... the breath from the abyss."

The man's voice raised unconsciously, "Oh?"

"It's very similar to... her breath when she was still alive." Lucia panted slightly.

The dense, inextricable darkness gathered into an endless vortex. Anyone who stared into the abyss would one day be swallowed by the abyss. For a moment, she almost thought she was about to fall into it.

"It sounds like that kid is more suitable as a container." The man touched his chin, "but his identity is a bit troublesome."

"Does the church have information about Chaldea?" Lucia asked annoyedly, "The detectives I sent out got nothing."

I can only secretly photograph the heroic appearance of Chaldean servants wandering in the streets and alleys every night, violent|beating|beating|gang|gangs and helping ordinary people.

What about an evil organization working with the Red Hood?It means that BB was evil to Penguin on the first day it went online, and then it was all about doing good things. It was more active than Batman in saving people. Is this plausible?

Man: "The high priest's order is that you don't need to worry about them, they are not a threat to us for the time being."

Lucia: "That was before doing anything to Jill."

"Oh, so you decided to sacrifice this poor child to save your beloved Cathy." The man dragged his voice, "How is your behavior different from mine?"

Lucia closed her eyes and rarely refuted.

Yes, she is the same as these gang of executioners. They sacrificed innocent lives, and the ones she found instead were also innocent lives.

No matter how high-sounding the excuse is, it cannot conceal the despicable nature of the behavior.

In fact, Lucia didn't love Cathy at all, she didn't know her at all, and she wanted to save her purely because of that face.

She regards Cathy as an emotional projection, and it seems that as long as she saves her, it is tantamount to going back to the past and protecting those who cannot be protected.

After all, she could not bloom gracefully like a rose in spring as Mrs. Mary expected.

Before the flowering period comes, it has withered, and for the rest of its life, only withered petals will continue to fall into the mud.

The man admired Lucia's painful expression enough, and finally decided to let her go. "Find a suitable time and trick your target out to observe. There is a newly opened amusement park in the Diamond District, so let's go there, and I will arrange it specifically."

Opening her eyes again, Lucia returned to her previous indifferent appearance, "The appearance of Chaldea has made Batman more vigilant, and if he makes a move at this time, he will be watching."

"Then find a chance to kill him," the man said lightly, "Batman is indeed in the way, and his existence will affect the development of subsequent plans."

Lucia hesitated to speak, she always felt that the result would be that the man would be sent to prison by Batman.

"Beauty, as the focus of tonight, it's time for you to appear." The man's tone was gentle, but his attitude was irrefutable.

"I wish you a pleasant evening." He politely took Lucia's hand and placed a soft kiss on the back of her hand.Then he kept backing away, sliding into deeper shadows, completely merging with the darkness.

Lucia showed a bored look. She took out an alcohol wipe from her handbag and wiped the back of her kissed hand vigorously.

The sponsor of the dinner was a charitable organization called the Aros Foundation, which has been committed to helping poor women and children. Its investment covers the entire Americas and enjoys a high reputation around the world.Its headquarters is not in Gotham, it's just that this year the event location was chosen here.Therefore, in addition to the well-known local rich people in Gotham, many entrepreneurs with great reputations at home and abroad were also invited to participate.

The shiny head of Luther, the chairman of the Lex Group, stood out in the crowd. With a distant smile on his face, he politely rejected some passers-by ABCs who approached him to get close. He took a bottle of champagne and walked towards the lively bar.

"Long time no see, Stark, I didn't expect you to come too." It was not easy to squeeze into Iron Man's surroundings, but Luthor was Luthor after all, and the people around Tony Stark saw his face , he took the initiative to get out of the way and make room for him.

"Aren't you here too?" Tony pinched the rim of the glass with three fingers, shaking his wrist slightly, and the light golden champagne rippled softly.He glanced at Luther casually, his eyes cold.

He didn't get along well with Luthor, whether it was character or the other party's views on superheroes.He didn't even bother to give Luther a good look in formal occasions that had to be perfunctory, let alone a relaxing reception.

Luther didn't mind Tony's disgust at all, and pulled out a chair to sit next to him.The soft light came down and fell on his head... more dazzling.

Tony turned his head away in pain, ready to get up and leave.

All the beautiful girls in the venue, what can't he think about, insisting on drinking with a bald head?

"Would you mind leaving us some separate space?" Luthor smiled and said to the people around him, "I have something to talk about."

The men and women who stayed around with all kinds of thoughts dispersed wisely.

Tony got up and paused, "You want to talk to me here?"

"You can't be blocked from other places." The smile on Luthor's face faded, and he stared at Tony with a serious expression. "The Avengers took away the space gem kept by S.H.I.E.L.D."

"It seems that Nick Fury still hasn't completely dealt with the internal spies." Tony mocked.

"Stark, you shouldn't have kept this matter from me!" Luthor gritted his teeth, "About the crack in the world—"

"Gentlemen, what are you talking about, would you mind adding me?" A cheerful voice full of curiosity sounded, accompanied by screams and cheers one after another, Bruce Wayne came slowly with a smile on his face.

Tony and Luther rolled their eyes in unison.

"Don't be so cold." Bruce showed a charming smile. He hugged Tony first, and let go before Tony couldn't take it anymore and pushed him away. Then he hugged Luthor, "It's a rare opportunity for us to get together..."

"Lex's door is always open for you." Luther said eccentrically.

"Remember to invite me to the next ball." Bruce waved his hand smartly.

Because of Bruce's arrival, the interrupted topic could not continue, so everyone had to chat about other things.

"The recent social scene is so boring," Bruce sighed, "I plan to go to Antarctica to see penguins."

Tony & Luthor automatically translated Bruce's words: I'm going to hide for a few months, it's a big deal.

They exchanged glances quietly.

"I want to see penguins, isn't there one in Gotham?" Luthor said meaningfully, "I just don't know how many months until the Iceberg Club will be closed?"

"It is said that it will open soon, but I haven't received the invitation yet." Bruce spread his hands and tilted his head in confusion. "Isn't the new boss planning to invite me to watch the ceremony? I don't know what he looks like yet. "

"It's her." A girl who followed Bruce to join in the fun corrected her in a low voice.

Bruce, Tony, and Luther looked over at the same time.

"Isn't it Red Hood?" Luther asked intentionally.

The girl had never been stared at by so many big men, and she felt her breath was stagnant for a moment. She collected herself and shook her head excitedly, "I, I have a friend who works at the Iceberg Club. She talked about it when she chatted with me, replacing the penguin People, the new owner of the Iceberg Club is a girl."

"The leader of Chaldea?" Tony showed interest, and he eagerly said, "I hope to have the opportunity to meet her."

Tony's daily activities are in New York, and Gotham rarely comes. His understanding of other members of Chaldea is limited to the relevant information collected by S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers.

Except BB.

Ever since Mr. J, the smart butler, fought against BB, Tony has been stuck. He spent three days and three nights without sleep to replay the whole process of the two super AI offense and defense, deduced countless times, and finally had to admit that BB's The intelligence level is many orders of magnitude higher than that of Mr. J.

Rather than saying that she is an AI, it is better to say that she is a human soul that entered the network and became an undecipherable, flawless and invincible code.

"I really want to know how she developed BB," Tony's eyes sparkled. "With the current level of technology on Earth, this is absolutely impossible."

"Maybe she comes from another world?" The gentle voice made a harmless joke, and Lucia came out of the crowd with a glass of wine, and nodded politely, "I wonder if I have the honor to discuss with you?"

"Of course welcome." Bruce was the first to express his opinion. He gave Lucia a face-to-face salute, and his seemingly intimate attitude aroused the jealous eyes of many people around.

"Let me introduce, Lucia Williams, the newly appointed executive vice president of Luminas North America." Bruce introduced Lucia to everyone, and he said in a teasing tone, "It's also my female companion today, Although I didn't see her at all before. I thought you weren't coming."

"How could it be?" Lucia smiled gracefully, "I like Jill very much. In order not to be snatched away by you, I will come too."

"That child is really special. He is the first person who is not willing to be adopted by me." Noticing the curious eyes of Tony and Luther, Bruce explained helplessly.

"Ha, accept the reality, not everyone likes you." Tony patted Bruce on the shoulder, obviously not comforting but mocking.

Bruce responded calmly: "At least I have three children, and you have none."

Tony: "..." I have!My little spider is as good as the three of you!

"Meet you again, Lucia," Luther held out his hand, "So you refused my invitation because you agreed to Bruce first?"

"It's a deal," Lucia laughed. "The boutonniere suits you, Lex."

On Luthor's suit pocket was pinned a brooch of an exquisitely shaped and radiant red rose, a style never seen before on the market.Judging from Lucia's tone, it is obvious that this is a work from Luminas Jewelry.

Tony whistled, "So you all know each other."

Just as Lucia was about to answer, the noise came all the way from the door, as if someone had caused a commotion.

"What happened?" Bruce looked around.

The passer-by replied excitedly: "A beauty I have never seen before has come, and the invitation she has is from the Penguin."

Yuanchun picked a pure black Lamborghini that she likes and Maeve will also like from Penguin's garage, and used it as a car for the dinner tonight.

Jason put one hand on the open door frame, leaned down｜with a half-smile and asked Yuanchun: "Don't you deserve a driver?"

Yuanchun looked up at him, "Do you have a driver's license?"

Jason said in a deep tone, "No, but I have driven the Batmobile."

After a moment of silence, Yuanchun kicked suddenly, and Jason dodged subconsciously. She sneered and closed the car door while it was closed.

"Enemy!" Yuanchun condemned angrily.

Jason: "???"

"Who doesn't want to drive a Batmobile?" Yuan Chun said sourly, "I want it too, give me one!"

Seeing the Batmobile for the first time, Yuanchun was completely overwhelmed by its handsome and cool appearance. If it weren't for the special armored vehicle's internal structure, it must be very complicated, and she would have copied it with the projection magic of the red A.

Jason: "..." To be honest, this request is really difficult, no less difficult than tying up Batman and throwing him into the dungeon of the Iceberg Club.

"Is it okay for you to go by yourself?" Jason changed the subject resolutely, he bent his fingers and knocked on the car door, and introduced himself, "Bring me, you will have a powerful sniper who can support you in the dark at any time, a A melee combat expert who can fight head-on, a swordsman who can use magic tricks, and a hacker who is good at deciphering software."

I'm just attending a banquet, and you make it sound like I'm going to a battlefield.Yuanchun rested his forehead with one hand, "Those who didn't know thought you were four people."

Jason sighed, "I'm just worried about you."

"It's not impossible," Yuan Chun showed a thoughtful look, with a hint of slyness flashing between his brows, "But there is no space in my car..."

As she spoke, she dragged out a huge Saint Quartz pillow from the King's Treasure openly, and placed it squarely on the driver's seat.

"...So I have to wrong you." Yuanchun blinked obediently.

Jason sneered, raised his hand to support the car door, jumped up with his strength, rubbed Yuanchun, and landed steadily on the driver's seat.

Roadster, can I not get in if you close the door?

The Saint Quartz pillow was placed behind Jason's waist as a cushion. He looked at Yuanchun and raised the corners of his mouth provocatively.

"Amazing," Yuanchun Little Seal clapped his hands together, "You also learned high jump?"

Jason asked in a daze, "What?"

Tonight's plan is actually very simple. You Yuanchun enters the banquet wearing Maeve's vest, attracts the attention of the audience with the charm of Queen Connaught's A-level golden body, fascinates the men, and takes the opportunity to inquire about the moon Information from the He Welfare Institute.

This plan can be completed by one person alone, without Jason's assistance.But since he strongly requested...

Yuanchun turned his head and looked in a direction other than Jason.

The sports car has no glass, so she can't notice that the corners of her mouth are slightly raised at this moment.

"It's nothing," Yuanchun said in a brisk tone, "I will leave the task of driving to you."

# # #

Yuanchun put on Maeve's card, changed into the dress Jason chose, rolled her waist-length pink hair into a one-time small curl, and put on a diamond crown.

Complete a set of beautiful styling in 15 minutes.

Originally, she wanted to pull her hair up, but Jason refused to help for some reason, and she couldn't comb it by herself, so she had to do the simplest one.

Fortunately, Queen Maeve's appearance is impeccable. Whether her long hair is tied up or down, she has a special style.

"Your speed is too fast." Jason opened the car door for Yuan Chun and escorted her to sit in.He changed into the standard equipment of the driver of the Iceberg Club, a white shirt, black vest and black jacket. His strong and full muscles made the suit look good. Even though it was tightly wrapped, it was still very attractive.

"Because I don't need makeup." Yuanchun smiled sweetly, "Maeve has an A-level golden body, a perfect goddess figure, and her beauty will last forever. Don't you feel it at all?"

As she spoke, she turned sideways, tilted her head and rested her chin, with a smile in her eyes, staring at Jason affectionately, her slender and long curly eyelashes trembling slightly with her blinking movements, like a frightened butterfly.

Jason looked at Yuanchun who was wearing Maeve's shell. He shook his head slightly, and then returned to normal. He seemed to see another soul through Maeve's eyes as sweet as melting honey.

"It's okay," Jason nodded calmly, looking away, "I'm used to it."

Yuanchun was stunned for a moment, she could tell from Jason's eyes that he was indeed not being tempted, but was simply admiring beauty, and the existence of this admiration was also very short, fleeting, leaving only polite compliments.

Fortunately, Maeve is not here. If you behave like this in front of her, she will push you down on the spot and drag you into the steel chariot to prove your charm...

The more Yuanchun thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't tell exactly what was wrong, but she suddenly became unhappy.

"What habit?" Yuan Chun puffed his cheeks and asked dissatisfied.

"What do you think?" Jason glanced lightly at Yuanchun.

how could I know?Yuan Chun was even angrier.

I asked him if he had any feelings for Maeve, and he said that he was used to it, but Maeve didn't appear in front of him every day, and the frequency of getting used to it...is it just me?

Yuanchun suddenly realized, she opened her eyes slightly, the little depression in her heart was swept away, and she became happy again.

"You praised me for being good-looking!" She said in a firm tone.

"Yes." Jason smiled a little.

Finally, he has made some progress, he thought, although the brain circuit was not completely aligned, at least there was no deviation.

When he was about to reach his destination, Jason touched his side face and asked, "Does your magic have a time limit?"

Yuanchun cast a magic trick on Jason to confuse his appearance, turning him into an ordinary person who looks ordinary and forgets in the eyes of others.

Without the cover of a hood, Jason felt very uncomfortable. This kind of invisible and intangible protection gave people a serious lack of security.

Yuanchun was too lazy to correct whether it was magic or not, she sat gracefully on the co-pilot seat, and adjusted the diamonds pasted at the end of her eyes in front of the mirror, "Yes, it expires on time at twelve o'clock, you must remember to come back before then .”

Otherwise, the father will find the trace and chase him all the way, and then the whole Gotham will post big advertisements and spend a lot of money to find the son.

Jason glanced at Yuanchun out of the corner of his eye, and found that she was smiling maliciously, and immediately became vigilant, "What are you thinking?"

"It's nothing, Cinderella." Yuanchun recovered and said solemnly.

Jason said slowly, "If you were a prince, I wouldn't mind being Cinderella."

Yuanchun: "I'm obviously a fairy godmother!"

Jason: "...that's Sleeping Beauty!"

I want to be your boyfriend, but you want to be my mother? ? ?

The progress just now was indeed an illusion!
