4. Beautiful women visit
Gotham Docklands is a very busy place, with a lot of people coming here every day, some for money, some for a new life, and of course, after the "Mutant Event", more people come here to chase or witness the real rise of a race.
What the Devils are doing in Mexico is revealed to the world as the earthlings win the second alien invasion war, and when people discover that a mutant nation is about to be established, and when they look behind them, they suddenly find that the mutants around them seem to have disappeared overnight.
When the destined person comes to the front of the stage, they are destined to no longer be isolated modern nomads, they are destined to no longer be a plate of scattered sand in modern society, modern civilization, and people in this era are blessed, because they will really witness one big event after another, provided that they can survive to the end.
The world is like a boiling pot, and people are the fish beating in this pot, just like the words of the former archangel Gabriel: "Only by surviving the most painful darkness can we be qualified to receive the rising sun of the dawn." β
Well, the topic is a bit far away, anyway, today, on a very ordinary day in Gotham City, a special guest came to the port authority in Gotham Docks, and when she stepped out of her luxury car, she almost instantly attracted the attention of all the men below the building, and the hostility of all the women.
"I have an appointment with Mr. Cyber, the director of the Port Authority!"
The beautiful woman in a dark dress walked to the front desk, smiled at the little sister on duty at the front desk and said, "We have an appointment today." β
This front desk lady is a little lazy, and her long hair has not been taken care of, but she is still the object of pursuit by thousands of people in this building and even the entire port area, and through the early morning sun, you can clearly see the four wings as thin as cicada wings spread out behind her, with her tall and slender figure, making her look like a legendary goblin.
Yes, this is a mutant, Salvadoran Angel, a battle-hardened mutant, a former rival of Cyber, a valued subordinate of Magneto, and now the Gotham Port Authority's Vice Captain of Security and Front Lobby Manager, who seems to enjoy the idleness of her life now.
Salvadoran Angel's sexual orientation is normal, she is not interested in women, so she just smiled perfunctorily at this beautiful homosexual, knocked a few times on the computer, threw a pass to the intellectual beauty in front of her, and then grabbed a box of potato chips from the drawer and turned her attention to the soap opera she saw half of last night.
"Director Cyber is on the top floor, but at this time, he shouldn't be at work yet, you can go to the top floor office and find his assistant. β
She glanced at the beautiful woman with the same expression, looked at her registration information again, and whispered:
"Friendly reminder, Ms. May doesn't like too many competitors like you to get close to Mr. Cyber, so you'd better be dignified, well... Miss Miranda. β
"Call me Tate, thank you. β
The beauty, with a hint of yellow characteristics, was not offended by the bad attitude of the Salvadoran angels, she showed her an irrepromiscably smiling smile, and then, led by the assistant, took the elevator to the 17th floor, which is the top floor where the director of Cyber is located.
As a result, as soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw a beautiful assistant wearing black professional clothes, short hair, heroic but cold face, glasses, like an iceberg, waiting at the elevator entrance, Miss Tate froze for a moment, and then heard Mei in front of her open the folder and said fluently:
"Miranda Tate, 26 years old, single, famous in Europe, entered the "New Energy Future Foundation" in New York 4 years ago, after Tony Stark stepped down last year, he served as the director of the foundation, and controlled 60% of the foundation's capital circulation with his clever skills, you came to Gotham this time to find a new energy testing ground in this city, right?"
"Well, in general... That's right. β
Miss Tate has traveled almost all over the world, but she has never been treated like this anywhere, but she is very professional, even in the face of this leakage of private information, she did not show a very angry expression, on the contrary, she breathed a sigh of relief, calmly looked at Mei in front of her, and whispered:
"You're Melinda May, Director Cyber's personal assistant? I've heard that you're doing 85 percent of the decisions of the Port Authority alone, and the success rate is over 90 percent... Are you really brilliant and interested in changing jobs?"
With a simple sentence, Mei's momentum was washed away in an instant, and obviously, the woman in front of her was not a fuel-efficient lamp.
The atmosphere became a little bad for a while, Mei pushed her glasses, and her voice softened:
"Mr. Cyber is not here today, Miss Tate, come back another day. β
"Oh?"
Miranda Tate took out a small mobile phone from her handbag and shook it in front of May's eyes: "But I just called him, and he said he will be there soon, it seems that you made a mistake this time, Melinda." β
"Ding Dong"
While the two women with their own styles were talking, the elevator door next to them opened, and Cyber, who was rarely dressed in a business suit, appeared at the elevator entrance, he wore a pair of dark sunglasses, and a cane in his hand, he looked at the two women in front of him with some confusion, and asked in a low voice:
"What's going on, ladies, is it fashionable to talk about business at the office door now?"
As he spoke, Cyber naturally reached out and put his arm around May's waist, who gave him a blank look, turned and swayed away, leaving the space to Cyber and Miss Tate.
"Come in, Miranda. β
Seber gentlemanly opened the office door for the intellectual beauty, who smiled at him and walked into the office that had almost never been used after the installation of Cyber.
In all fairness, this Miss Miranda is a real 360Β° beauty, especially the tiny scar on her forehead, not only does not spoil this beauty, on the contrary, it also adds a different kind of charm to her.
But this is not the reason why Cyber is such a gentleman, the women around Cyber have their own characteristics, each one is no worse than Miranda, the real problem is that Cyber has dealt with the "New Energy Future Foundation" before, Tony used to be the chairman of this foundation, Bruce Wayne is also one of the directors, as far as Cyber knows, there are also big chaebols such as Norman Osborne, which is an inconspicuous foundation on the surface, but in fact one of the deepest foundations in the United States.
Even Cyber himself is a member of this foundation, and the mysterious origin of Miss Tate in front of her has succeeded Tony as chairman in just 2 years, and Tony Stark's amorous personality is unwilling to provoke this flower, which already explains a lot of problems.
The woman in front of her was not simple, and besides, she had a surprising secret in her head, and Cyber was sure of it.
On top of that, I don't know if it's an illusion, Cyber always feels like he's seen her before... There are really not many women who can make this impression on Cyber, which is one of the reasons why May is hostile to this woman, Cyber is in enough trouble, and she doesn't want Cyber to get involved in another trouble.
"I heard you had a good conversation with Bruce?"
Seber poured Miss Tate a cup of hot tea with his own hands, sat down in his chair, and said with a relaxed smile:
"Then you have to be careful, Miranda, as far as I know, after Bruce's marriage, Bruce's attraction to the opposite sex has not decreased, but has increased much, much, and I don't want to see a beautiful lady like you attracted to him... It was a disaster for all men in the whole of America. β
Miss Tate couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh when she said this:
"You're really talkative, Mr. Cyber, you're not as approachable as legend has been, the last time I had dinner with Tony, he told me you're a brutal, violent, rude, and always troublesome mobile scourge, and now it seems that he's jealous of you. β
"What are you jealous of me? I'm younger than him, richer than him?"
Cyber laughed and crossed his legs:
"No, no, no, I'm 2 years older than him, and my assets are less than one-tenth of Stark Enterprises, and I'm a poor old and poor man compared to him... Okay, let's get down to business, I read the text Bruce sent me, the New Energy Future Foundation is going to build a proving ground in Mexico? Why? There's a war going on there... Accidents can happen at any time, with all due respect, and that's not a good idea. β
When Miranda heard Cyber say this, she stretched out her finger and brushed her long brown hair, and said meaningfully:
"Am I seeing the wrong person? Isn't the king or president of the future mutants sitting in front of me? The Devils have a heavily armed army, Mr. Cyber, your army is very strong, and our professional military advisers told several directors that the war is likely to be over in 4-7 months, so when Mr. Norman proposes to build a potentially dangerous testing ground on your future territory, shouldn't we say hello to His Majesty the King of that place in advance?"
"Hmm..."
Little by little, Cyber's smile disappeared, he played with the ruby at the tip of his cane, his fingers darting on the surface of the gem, and finally, he took off his sunglasses, and the flame-like eyes appeared in Miranda's eyes, making the amorous lady's eyes flash with a hint of surprise.
"So, can I think that this is an investment in me by the New Energy Future Foundation? Are you ready to take sides?"
Seber asked directly, and this naked question made Lady Miranda a little unsure of how to answer, and finally, she frowned, and whispered:
"The big guys have the rules of the big game, Mr. Cyber, they won't choose to take sides unless they see victory with their own eyes, although Tony has always been on your side, but he is not enough to push the entire Foundation towards you, although within the Foundation, many members are inclined to a completely open new market, but the traditional industry in Mexico is extremely profitable, and it is very difficult to get those big guys to give up their interests... Really, very difficult. β
"Oh... See, you're just laying out ahead, if I win, you're going to congratulate me and bring me the crown with a smile, if I lose, you're going to not hesitate to put a foot on my corpse and redivide Mexico... It's good, whether I win or lose, you're all winners. β
Cyber shook his head, he was not satisfied with the answer, but he did not force the Tate lady who was acting as a sounding board any longer, he breathed a sigh of relief, changed his position, and crossed his fingers on his lap:
"Okay, I agreed to the application, but it can't be in northern Mexico, where my military camp is located, and you can choose any other location... Besides, don't you really plan to be involved in the great task of building a mutant state? You see, a country that is in ruins, as you say, a market that is completely open to you..."
Miss Miranda was relieved when she heard Cyber agree, and she naturally knew what Cyber was saying, she interrupted Cyber's words, took out a business card from her bag, put her finger on it, and pushed it in front of Cyber's eyes.
"The Foundation is very interested in Hammer Industries after it has changed hands, so we have decided to inject $10 billion into it to get Hammer Industries back to what it deserves... Vitality, this gentleman will take care of everything, I have other things to do in Gotham, so I'll go first. β
Miss Tate stood up, stretched out her hand to Cyber, and smiled:
"It's a pleasure to work with, Director Cyber. β
"Nice to work with, Miss Miranda. β
The two hands were clasped together, and then separated in an instant, the moment Ms. Tate walked out of the office, Seber's eyes narrowed slightly, and with a movement of his fingers, Miss Tate's legs suddenly tightened, and her whole body fell to the ground, and Seber quickly got up from the chair and held Ms. Miranda, who was caught off guard, in his arms.
The scene was so wonderful that even Miss Miranda's face flushed with a hint of blush, and Cyber cooperated and whispered in her ear:
"You know what? Miranda, the scar on your forehead is really beautiful..."
"It was a memento from an old friend of mine..."
Miranda pushed Seber away and whispered very politely, "I already have a marriage contract, Mr. Cyber, although you are very attractive, I don't want my fiancΓ© to be jealous, see you next time... Oh, by the way, I'll be taking some landscape photos in Gotham recently, can I come to the docklands?"
Cyber shrugged his shoulders with his hands in his pockets:
"Welcome. β
After the bewitched lady left, May quietly came behind Cyber and asked in a low voice:
"How?"
Cyber narrowed his eyes and replied, "Excellent physical flexibility, excellent reflexes, calluses between fingers, and a stronger soul than the average person, it seems that Miss Miranda, who has a wide range of interests, in addition to being the chairman and top photographer, also occasionally makes a cameo appearance as a killer and other special jobs... Focus on her, May, I can feel... She seems to be coming for us. β
