With Christmas days to go, the joy is already in the air over the city.

The shop is decorated with lanterns, evergreens are decorated with candles and ribbons, and a shining star is placed at the top of the store, which is placed in the most eye-catching position.

All kinds of holiday specials put into the shop windows attract customers to take their eyes off, no matter when and where they walk in the streets, they can hear the melodious melody of "Jingle Bells".

It's the most familiar Christmas song, but it's funny how it was originally written for Thanksgiving.

Leo wore a long black trench coat as always, with a gray scarf around his neck.

He carried a large bag in his hand and walked briskly through the mall.

"Boss, to be honest, I never knew that as the head of the applied science department, it was also part of my job to accompany you shopping during work."

Felicity stepped on a pair of high heels, her red coat fluttering and rolling.

While complaining, she looked at the Dior beauty counter on the right honestly, with reluctance in her eyes.

Every time she passed by the counters and stores of the world's top brands, Felicity's eyes seemed to be drawn by a magnet, and she couldn't move her feet at all.

International brand-name handbags, clothing and leather goods, jewelry and watches, cosmetics and skin care products, all placed on the counter or in the window, exude an irresistible charming atmosphere.

It's a paradise for women shopping and a grave for men's wallets.

Fortunately, Leo was not short of money.

In fact, he could easily buy the mall if he wanted to.

However, buying a building or a hotel restaurant at every turn, this kind of nouveau riche behavior can only be done by Iron Man on the next set and the proud son of Gotham.

Leo has always kept a low profile, at least that's what he thinks.

"Don't forget, Miss Smock, you get a double salary, and you're my personal assistant as head of the applied sciences."

Leo raised his eyebrows, he was shopping as if he was shopping at a supermarket at a bargain, without the slightest enjoyment.

If you like the same, you can just swipe your card and take it away, from Hermès silk scarves to Chanel haute couture, from Dior watches and jewelry to Fendi's handbags.

These luxury goods, which have always been loved by fashionable women, are packed into shopping bags like Chinese cabbage.

"These are all Christmas presents?"

Felicity looked at those bags with her eyes, no wonder the girls in the movie like the domineering president who is young and golden.

Even if you change to yourself as a tech otaku, if you can receive so many precious gifts every day, I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand it.

"These luxuries are for my assistants, because I'm sorry to change their jobs, do you still want gifts?"

Leo asked quips.

He is about to welcome a new assistant, Helena herself.

Surprisingly, the huntress who had just inherited the mafia was actually a graduate of Stanford Graduate School of Business and successfully obtained a master's degree in business administration (MBA).

In this case, Leo simply handed over the position of personal assistant to Helena, and then re-screened a new batch of team members, which was more conducive to future work.

"Don't! I cherish my current job! ”

Felicity shook her head decisively, and then forcibly diverted the topic, "What about those children's toys and comics?" ”

"For the kids in the Palm Lake slum, I'm going to Oak Street at Christmas to check on the progress of the reconstruction."

Leo calmly replied that the packed toy trains and Lego models, as well as many fairy tale books, would be sent to the White Manor.

"Boss, you don't have to do this kind of thing yourself."

Felicity's voice slowed a little, knowing of course that White Industries and the Quinn Consortium had teamed up to rebuild the Palm Lake slum.

The old and dilapidated apartment buildings have been gradually demolished, and yesterday the design department was discussing the urban planning with the city hall.

"To be honest, I've been a little bored lately, so I'm going out shopping to pass the time."

After Leo had chosen all the gifts, he handed the large bag to the driver.

He sat down at a random café and sat down in a long black trench coat.

"Well, I rarely have the experience of shopping, and I usually just talk to Pierpont about what I want to buy. My father never took me to the mall, and the first time I bought something was when I was 12 years old. ”

Leo ordered two cups of Blue Mountain coffee, his eyes revealed a faint remembrance, and said softly: "I bought Picasso's "The Boy with the Pipe" at Sotheby's auction house on the Rue de la Strip de la Saint-Dono-Les in Paris. ”

Felicity's lips twitched, and she could only pick up her coffee to hide her emotions.

Although she is not an art lover, she has also heard of Picasso's famous work, which has the mystery of Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" and the melancholy beauty of Van Gogh's "Doctor Gachet".

At Sotheby's auction in Paris, the painting was sold by a mysterious collector for an astonishing price of more than $100 million, setting a record in the history of the world's famous paintings.

"Boss." Felicity was silent for a long time, then said with difficulty: "I used to think that a rich person like you might not be happy behind the scenes, but now I know that you are happy, I can't imagine your happiness at all. ”

When Leo was twelve years old when she photographed the famous painting worth hundreds of millions of dollars, she might be spoiling her father for a Barbie doll.

"I'm kidding you, but the painting was actually bought by Georg, a wealthy Jewish merchant, and I took a Patek Philippe watch that day — but the old Jewish man must have hated me and cost him a lot of money."

Leo had a smile on his face, his life had been quiet for a while lately.

Without a vigilante, the gangs in Star City were wiped out, leaving only the mafia controlled by Helena, and the many gangs entrenched in the slums of Lake Palm were either incorporated or arrested by the Star City Police Department.

Little by little, the city fell into the palm of its own, as Leo conceived.

From top to bottom, from black to white.

"Actually, I brought you out today because there is something for you to decide." Leo took a few sips of coffee and looked at Felicity, who was whispering, "I may have to go to Russia in a few days." ”

"Russia?"

Felicity was shaken.

Could it be that the long-awaited agent mission has finally arrived?

"That's right, it's a small task, and the process can be a little dangerous, so I'd like to hear from you."

Leo stared at the blonde sitting across from him, he admired the genius hacker.

In addition to his good looks, his own business ability is also excellent, and if he wants to build a team, Felicity is undoubtedly the right reserve.

"Although I said you were a member of the Celestial Eye Society, you can take this as a joke and don't count until you officially participate in a dangerous mission."

Leo crossed his hands into fists, leaned forward slightly, and said calmly: "Felicity, life is not a movie or a novel, and we are not James Bond." ”

"The mission of the Sky Eye Club is sometimes simple, sometimes full of risks, you are no longer sitting in the office fiddling with the computer, but you have to face those ruthless mercenaries, or international terrorists, so I respect your personal wishes."

Hearing this, Felicity lifted her glasses, and she thought seriously for a while, and the optimistic smile gradually retracted.

About five minutes later, the blond, ponytailed IT woman let go of her pursed lips and whispered, "If I agree to join, will I get an extra salary?" ”

Leo smiled and nodded, stretched out his right hand, and said softly, "The Eye of Heaven will welcome you." ”

The two of them sat in the café for twenty minutes, and then left the increasingly crowded shopping mall, the sky outside was gloomy, and the cold wind whirled by.

The city was lit up at night, and Leo and Felicity were walking down the streets, a black sedan slowing down.

"I'll send you home. By the way, I wish you a Merry Christmas in advance. ”

When he walked around the corner, Leola opened the door and was very gentlemanly and asked Felicity to get into the car first.

"I'm Jewish."

Miss Smock, who was very upright, replied.

"That'...... Happy Hanukkah to you. ”

Leo reluctantly changed his words, and he looked at a low building in the night.

The smile on his face suddenly tightened, and his left hand suddenly reached out, pulling Felicity hard and dodging to the side.

Boom!

The windows shattered.

A black metal arrow grazed Leo, cutting through the glass window like a sharp cone.

A frightened Felicity leaned into Leo's arms, and she looked up to see the young boss's grim face, without his usual gentle smile.

The eyes that looked like a deep lake narrowed slightly, and there was a sharp light like a knife in them.

"Looks like I got a Christmas present early, too."

Leo looked at the black arrow that shot through the window, his voice calm without the slightest emotion.
