Superhero Comic – Overlord’s Path
Chapter 44 8. Dinner Party
Banquets are definitely not just about eating and drinking. In fact, at a banquet attended by people from a certain circle, unless it is a dinner for close people, the scene of eating and drinking will not appear, and they will not waste time on eating and drinking.
This is more like a place for exchanging news and interests, and bringing closer the relationship between the participants, especially the huge banquet at Wayne Castle. For the dignitaries and dignitaries of Gotham, being able to step here is in itself a self-identity and a symbol of status.
Most of the time, a big deal is settled within two people's exchange of toasts and less than a minute of communication. Yes, human relationship has always been a very wonderful thing.
When a dinner party gathers 70% of the upper-class people in the city, the guests will naturally appear to be full of gold, but the wealth of these guys can be seen from the row of luxury cars parked outside Wayne Castle, so when they squeezed in After arriving at an old pickup truck that was conspicuous no matter how you looked, Saber in casual clothes and Kevin with a hemostatic bandage on his face walking out of it immediately became the center of attention of all the guests.
Although in modern society, for a banquet of this level, it is difficult to have that kind of nonsensical scolding and suppressing drama, but it is impossible to get rid of the class. In the eyes of people ignoring or ignoring, Saibo, who was dressed relaxed, walked into the hall with Kevin who was a little timid.
Wayne Castle was built at an earlier time of American independence. The first ancestor of the Wayne family was one of the first British Puritans who arrived on the American continent on the famous Mayflower. In the eyes of the elders, this is also an important reason why the Wayne family is so prominent in Gotham. Their history is almost the history of the entire United States.
As an ancient building that has existed for more than 200 years, Wayne Castle has a strong post-Victorian style. It looks stable and low-key on the outside, but the interior decoration is extremely gorgeous. The crystal chandelier spreads from the top floor of the hall, covering the cloth Filled with food and drink, the heavily carpeted hall was beautifully illuminated.
The successful people talked loudly, while the beauties who served as decorations gathered together to chatter, and some people sat in a quiet corner and smoked, and everyone who was good at making money walked around with a glass of wine in their hands. They stand in their place and will not move easily. They are the ones who are flattered and begged, and those of lower status surround them.
The self-proclaimed nobility and humbleness, the smiling face trying to climb up and the gentle smile with a distance, speculation and profiteering, exchange of interests, talking about evil things under the lights, everyone in the hall is laughing, but no one can be seen Sincere smiles.
In Saibo's eyes, it was like an ukiyo-e painting. People were looking at him cautiously, but he didn't care about their gazes. It was as if there was an invisible crack tearing each other apart. Didn't he A member of this circle, and he will never be one of them.
Saibo reached out to take two glasses of wine from the tray in the hand of the waiter next to him, and handed them to Kevin who was standing beside him, looking curiously at the life of the real upper class. For this young man who was born on Narrow Island, According to his original life trajectory, everything that happened here may have nothing to do with him in his life.
Saber handed him a glass of wine, patted him on the shoulder,
Relax, boy, the well-dressed bigwigs will be overthrown soon, and then they will have to beg us to save them. You came here as a savior. Of course, don't make fun of yourself, see Have you seen those beautiful ladies?
Saibo pointed to the somewhat lonely beauties standing in the corner of the hall. They were wearing revealing clothes, but their faces had a trace of uneasiness and embarrassment. These lovely girls are outcasts when it comes to dealing with other people.
With a smirk at the corner of his mouth, he bumped Kevin's shoulder and whispered,
Go and comfort the restless hearts of those girls, just tell them that you are the nephew of Steward Alfred, you can take them to the castle for a while, don't play too crazy, turn on the phone, and you will hear my order Go get those gadgets off the car, understand?
Kevin hesitated, he whispered, I'm here for revenge, I can't...
Do not be silly!
Saibo rolled his eyes, and said impatiently, If you want revenge, you must have your own life, otherwise the pressure will overwhelm you, and proper relaxation will allow you to enter the state better. Forget about the anger that Ed gave you, let it out when you need it, and just keep your legs going.
Kevin stopped talking. The young man was convinced of Saibo. He took a deep breath, and walked towards those girls with superb figures with a glass of wine. He had a bronzing invitation card in his pocket. Help him solve many problems.
Now the banquet has only just begun, Saiboshi walked over to the exquisite food, picked up a knife and fork, skillfully divided it, then forked a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, he was chewing the food intently, he needed Refuel ahead of time.
Although he is only wearing cheap casual clothes, when Saibo eats, he has a certain demeanor. He is no stranger to this kind of occasion. Many missions are performed in such banquets, where people come and go, their identities It's complex, perfect for some kind of assassination operation.
When he ate the third piece of beef, he was patted on the shoulder, and Lucius in a suit and leather shoes appeared beside him, looking at him with a smile,
You have a good appetite, young man, how is Wayne's cooking skills?
Nothing!
Sable shook his thumb, It's as good as the gadgets they sent!
Hehe, come with me when you're done eating. There are some things I need to let you know, so as not to accidentally injure friendly troops.
Lucius put the wine glass in his hand aside, reached out and picked up a fried golden fried shrimp, put it in his mouth, and said vaguely, This banquet is not held by Bruce, it is Earl, he plans to use this Way to demonstrate to Bruce, to tell him who is the head of Wayne Industries now, by the way, do you know Earl?
Hey, why should I know him? A guy who can be solved with a bullet is meaningless to me.
Saibo put the last piece of steak in his mouth, They always think that money and power can buy everything. They decorate their circle of life and try their best to make them look like the kings of the world. These big men always can't learn, In the face of the mob, these things are meaningless, they are just pigs still on the chopping block, and they can be killed whenever they want.
He picked up a tablecloth, wiped his mouth with an elegance that didn't match his age, then took a sip from his wine glass, the sweet taste made him frown, and said to Lucius who had been watching him carefully ,
So, I hate this kind of place where there is hypocrisy even in the wine, let's go, friend.
Lucius smiled, Then come with me, friend.
The two walked out of the hall, walked a distance on the lawn, and finally came to the room on the left side of Wayne Castle. It was much quieter here. Lucius put his hand on the threshold, turned his head and handed him a mask, and then said to Sai Bob whispered,
Don't mention Bruce too much, I mean, Batman!
Saber put the black mask on his face and nodded at him.
The door opened, and there were 6 people sitting in a small room. Saibo only knew Alfred and Gordon among them, and he had never seen the other 4 people, but just judging from their demeanor, these guys must be all real big shot.
Saibo wearing a mask walked in and immediately attracted everyone's attention. Alfred stood up and introduced to both parties,
Everyone, this is the gentleman who provided us with the exact information. For his safety, please forgive him for appearing in a mask.
Several other people nodded, indicating that there is no problem, A Fu introduced to Saibo again,
This is Gotham Mayor Assistant Nestor, this is Colonel Thomas of the Local National Guard, and this is Chief of Police Lauber, these three are responsible for evaluating the news you bring and the actions we can take, and finally It was Sheriff Gordon and my old friend Shane in attendance.
Among the 5 people, only Gordon and Battier nodded to Saibo, the other 3 just looked at him, and Saibo didn't say anything, he sat on the chair carelessly, after he took his seat, the fat policeman Bureau Chief Lauber asked impatiently,
When I heard that a group of thugs were coming to attack Gotham, I thought that Butler Afu had drunk too much. I finally found out that it was you who conveyed the news. Then masked man, tell me, where did you hear this? A whimsical plan?
Arrogant, disrespectful, filled with a self-confidence that came from nowhere, this fat man managed to make him want to pull out a gun to kill him the first time he saw him, Cyber knew very well that Alfred and Bruce They want to use official power to protect Gotham, and they themselves lack confidence, but look what teammates they are looking for.
Is Saber the kind of person who would wrong himself?
Hearing the fat man's unceremonious question, Seber spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders. He deliberately hoarse his voice, There are many things in this world that you haven't seen, so you think it doesn't exist... Like an ostrich, refusing to believe that danger is around, do you think you're the only smart person sitting here and I'm just a piece of shit trying to trick you?
He leaned forward and met Lauber's sinister eyes, and let out a hoarse laugh, Saber took out his phone,
Then let's see who is the real idiot.
He flipped the screen with his fingers, and flashed the black and white logo in front of the eyes of the five people. The National Guard major and Alfredo's old friend, the mercenary chief Battier's face changed drastically, but the other three did not. Understand the meaning of this pattern.
Robert slammed the table hard and cursed,
You stupid boy, I already knew you were trying to deceive us, what the hell is that, what kind of cult symbol is that, are you trying to deceive me with this? I should have put you in jail long ago!
boom
A louder sound interrupted Lauber's annoying babbling, and Saber slammed his fist on the table, causing the objects visited on it to jump violently, startling the others. They looked at Saber, who was crooked. with head on,
Who can get this idiot who doesn't understand the situation out? So we can start a real discussion?
you!!
That's enough, Mr. Robert, please get out!
Major Thomas put his palm on the fat man's shoulder, and his voice was filled with a chill that could not be denied. After involving SHIELD, the major was already 80% sure of this Arabian Nights news, Although Saibo's words were rude, the time now really does not allow the stupid Lauber to make a scene here.
The major's actions made the mayor's assistant sitting next to him raise his brows. He is not an idiot to be able to hold this position and represent the mayor. From the major's actions, it can be seen that the black and white eagle logo just now seems to be It's some kind of incredible organization.
He thought about it and looked at the stupid chief who was still cursing. The hookup between this guy and Falconi has already discredited his position. Falconi helped him become the police chief. He helped Falconi To become the dark emperor of Gotham, if he didn't know how to use money to open a way, this guy would have been cleaned up long ago.
But that's all for his poor wit, Mr. Nestor coughed lightly,
Robert, you go out first.
Mr. Nestor, they are obviously talking nonsense. Do you believe that thugs will come to attack Gotham? This place is as safe as gold! I swear...
enough!
Nestor's voice raised a few degrees. He was not interested in hearing Lauber's arrogant speech. He knew what the Gotham Police Department was like better than Lauber himself, Please get out! Sheriff Gordon represents Gotham The Department continues to participate in this assessment meeting.
Saibo shrugged, fortunately, there are still a few people who understand here.
