Chapter 437: A Good Start
Evenson, who didn't know that he had been remotely monitored, was now riding a luxury car to the banquet, and at the same time loading all the 82-year-old Raffi in the car refrigerator into his personal backpack.
It didn't take long for him to arrive at Malik's estate.
Luxury villas, private landscaped gardens, swimming pools, shooting ranges and much more... It's all there in this estate. But this is just one of Gideon Malik's properties on the outskirts of New York, and he has estates in Washington, Chicago, and Los Angeles. And these are just his assets in the United States, where he owns similar villas in many important cities around the world. This shows his abundant capital and influence.
But on the surface, it seems that a wealthy family like Malik doesn't pay much attention to security measures. The manor's perimeter was a thin red brick wall just over a man high, with neither barbed wire nor glass ballast, and the small black iron door at the door was merely an ornament, which seemed to be a sign of death in the United States, where crime and gun ownership were surprisingly high.
But Evenson's view from the car window of the bodyguards in key positions on the estate, wearing suits, sunglasses, ties, and headsets, is a good illustration of what happens to thieves and robbers who break into the estate.
There are a lot of security guards... After Evenson put the last bottle of Raffi in his backpack, he counted it carefully, and found that there were more than 30 bodyguards he had seen in a short time, and some of them even made no secret of it, directly carrying a submachine gun in his arms, staring around vigilantly. But in the face of such a situation, Evenson did not feel that this was a grand banquet at all.
Because... Unless Malik is suddenly convicted of polio, sequelae of cerebral thrombosis, and early-onset Alzheimer's disease, he will never be so stupid as to play some trick like smashing a cup and 500 axes rushing in and chopping meat into mashed meat. It's impossible to besiege Captain America with these broken sacks, let alone blackface, ah no, it's Black Scythe Lord Evenson.
What's more... Evenson had now seen that at the door of the villa, which was retro and rustic and did not reveal any luxury, a man in his 50s with gray hair and a slightly fat body was already there to greet him, and his slightly handsome face immediately became smiling after seeing the arrival of the car that picked up Evenson. This person is one of the members of the World Security Council and the current adviser to the President of the United States, Gene Malik.
And beside him there was an elegant woman, who looked about the same age as Evenson, with short blond hair in a shawl, and although there was a graceful smile on her beautiful face, there was a hint of shadow hidden in her eyes. A plain white woollen blouse and a black knee-length skirt. She must be Malik's daughter, Stephanie.
There's nothing to worry about, if they really want to do their own thing, they can't take the risk themselves, especially since they know very well that the abilities they have are very weird.
The car stopped at the door of the villa, and the driver got down to open the door for Evenson, and Evenson also closed the refrigerator door as if it had never been opened, and then tidied up his clothes and got out of the car very calmly.
"I really welcome a guest like you to my estate. Gideon Malik and her daughter greeted him very warmly, and he himself extended his right hand to Evenson.
"This is my honorable sir, I didn't expect a big man like you to pay attention to my existence. Evenson greeted him warmly, and held out his right hand to shake Malik's hand.
"Oh, what's wrong with your hand?" Stephanie suddenly exclaimed, his eyes slightly wide, and his hand covering his little mouth in surprise. Because Evenson's right hand was bandaged, like a mummy.
There is no way, in order to get Evenson back from the side of the Dreadful Demon Lady Ursales, the Ereda Twins directly chanted a spell to collapse Evenson's right hand, although Evenson tried his best to recover afterwards, but until now his right concubine is still as if it has been rubbed with an invisibility potion, it is transparent, and it has to be wrapped in bandages.
"It's... Got a little wounded in the battle in New York..."Evenson raised his right hand and moved his fingers, looking unconcerned. He didn't deliberately hide the injury to his right hand, and it can be said that everyone who knew him knew about it, so he didn't think that Stephen didn't know anything about it, and the surprise just now was just a show in exchange for favor.
"It's okay... Now that medicine is so advanced, there must be a way to cure it. Stephanie comforted Evenson with sympathy. In her opinion, Evenson's hand was moving normally just now, and the bones and muscles should not have suffered any major damage, it should be a scar caused by burns or something, and Evenson would wrap it in bandages, because he was afraid that these ugly scars would affect the appearance.
"Beautiful lady," Evenson smiled at Stephanie, "magical wounds are not so easy to heal. ”
"Oh... That's terrible. Stephanie's whole face immediately turned cold, as if she was really sorry for what happened to Evenson, "Your sacrifice is for the peace of this world, you are a great man." ”
"I can't afford that. Evenson took Stephanie's hand and kissed it gracefully, "I live in this world, so defending him is a matter of course, and it shouldn't be great." ”
Stephani gently withdrew his hand, not knowing whether it was true or not, and his face was covered with a shy flush. Malik, on the other hand, stood by and felt it was a good start.
Evenson was also very pleased with his performance, and he also thought it was a good start. But... He suddenly shivered for no reason, as if two cold eyes were staring at him, giving him a feeling of being on his back.
Maybe it's an illusion... Evenson peeked around and didn't find anything suspicious. Yes, it must be an illusion.
"It's already winter..."Malik saw Evenson's abnormality just now, so he took the initiative to say, "It's a little cold outside, my old bones may not be able to stand it, let's go inside and talk." As he spoke, he turned sideways and made a stoppage motion.
"yes. Evenson wasn't too polite, either, "I also think it's more appropriate to come into the house and talk." ”
