Chapter 54: The Poison Ivy Girl
Chapter 54: The Poison Ivy Girl
At the beginning of the auction at half past six, William brought Xiandi to the venue, compared to the man's calm look, the woman's eyes were slightly tired at the moment.
In the afternoon, the two of them were shopping around Gotham City.
If that's all, Cindy wouldn't be so tired, but along the way, William gushed and explained to Cindy the background and current situation of Gotham City.
Compared to New York, Gotham City is now synonymous with clutter.
The name of Gotham City itself is ambiguous, and because Gotham City has slowly developed from a prison town, the whole city has a strong sense of guilt.
New Yorkers are so close that they don't want to travel to Gotham City, lest they lose their lives here if they are not careful.
The two men whizzed through the city in a car, wandering around for more than three hours in the afternoon, and saw at least three robberies and five brawls, William pointed to several places and told Cindy that violence was going on in those places.
"In terms of Gotham City, New Yorkers are still very happy," William said proudly.
"Yes," Cindy rubbed her brows and replied intently, "Your father, Mr. Zhang, played a huge role in the construction of New York City. Previously, the New York City Council wanted to build a bronze statue of Eve or your father in the center of the city, but unfortunately your father refused. β
"Shoot the first bird, the bronze statue or something," William waved his hand, for such a thing as building a bronze statue, unless the brain is broken, it is impossible to agree.
New York looks much better at the moment, and violent crime is at least 90 percent lower than before. Under Zhang Xiaofan's interference, many gangsters have carried out internal integration and become more standardized.
It is not the gangs that have been hit, so to speak, but the gangs that have been integrated and the crime has become more advanced.
At present, the underground gangs in New York have established two underground courts and two giant gangs, with more than 3,000 core personnel and an astonishing 50,000 peripheral people.
The Corleone family of the mafia is one of them, and the other is the Hill family, which Zhang Xiaofan supported to form.
New York, with more than 20 million people, currently has more than 100,000 people working for the gangs, how can such a city be said to be good?
The only good thing is that at present, the underground forces in New York are all subservient to Zhang Xiaofan's violent deterrence, and both the Corleone family and the Hill family are all looking at Zhang Xiaofan and dare not do anything that everyone is angry about.
Vincent Corleone and Henry Hill are not ruthless thugs, but super-heroes with high IQ and high emotional intelligence.
"Bang!"
When the gavel drops for the last time, the hour-long auction is over, it's eight o'clock, and after a break, there is a dance party, which will be held in the venue next to the auction.
And the items that were auctioned just now will be completed within half an hour.
"Mr. Zhang, it's a pleasure to meet you," Bruce Wayne is a handsome man, full of British aristocratic style, and young women and girls will be fallen by his deep eyes when they see him.
And at this moment, William felt a deep sense of pressure, and when this handsome man came over, Xiandi, who was holding his arm throughout the auction, actually withdrew his hand.
"I'm honored to meet you, too, Mr. Wayne."
In fact, William is also very handsome, but because his face is a little fair, he looks like a playboy, and his temperament has not yet condensed, although he can also promote temperament, but after all, it is not as good as Bruce Wayne's own decades of cultivation in front of him.
"I have met your father, Mr. Zhang Xiaofan, a few times, he is a very erudite and good man, with a very deep ancient oriental charm, and he is the most admired philanthropic entrepreneur I have ever met," Bruce Wayne remembered Zhang Xiaofan's previous teachings to him, but he was fascinated, if it wasn't for the Eve Group to help him buy the listed shares of the Wayne Group, his Wayne family might have gone bankrupt.
"My father will be honored that Mr. Wayne has such a high opinion of him," William said politely to him, and on the other hand, Sendy handed over the auction items for the night.
"Actually, my father said that there are several families in this world who are silently dedicating their strength, including the Wayne family. Today's Gotham City can have such a prosperous world, and the Wayne family is the first to bear the brunt. β
"Thank you," Bruce Wayne was one of the main patrons of this auction, chatted with William for a few words, and after saying goodbye, he went to entertain other guests, after all, in addition to William, there were more than a dozen large groups that were very face-saving and bought a lot of items at a high price.
"Okay?"
William put down the champagne in his hand and looked at Cindy who came over, her delicate face looked a little yellow at the moment, an unprecedented auction just now, let this woman find out how unworthy the auction she participated in before.
It's not that the specifications of this auction are high, but that many scattered small items at the auction have been auctioned at sky-high prices.
Among them, a fountain pen used by the previous generation of the Wayne family, William directly opened his mouth for 10,000 US dollars, thinking that he could get nine out of ten, but he didn't expect a beautiful woman to open his mouth to bid 20,000 US dollars.
When a fountain pen was auctioned to $50,000 under the entanglement of two people, William was too lazy to add it up little by little, and directly changed his words to $100,000, which completely suppressed the woman.
A fountain pen with a starting price of only $100 can be auctioned for $100,000, which is definitely a big surprise.
That woman is also very good, although she lost several battles with William, she also auctioned three items, with a total amount of 700,000, and the original value was only a few thousand dollars at most.
"Boss, we spent a total of $35,750,000 just now," Cindy looked at the things taken by the boss, most of them were the private belongings of the Wayne family, and the items outside the Wayne family, only two blueprints for the future of the city, and a mayor's notebook from thirty years ago.
The two blueprints for the future of the city were drawn 50 years ago and 30 years ago respectively, and according to the auctioneer's introduction, most of the blueprints have been completed, and the rest needs to be worked on by those who come after.
Each city blueprint was priced at $50,000, but there were too many people to rob it, and after quickly reaching the $1 million mark, William simply asked for $10 million.
As a result, everyone else has to retreat.
The two city blueprints cost a total of 20 million US dollars, and the mayor's notes also cost William nearly 3 million.
This auction can get 110 million donations in one go, and it can be said that William himself contributed one-third, becoming a veritable big name in the auction hall.
After Bruce Wayne left, the mayor of Gotham City also came over, after all, the notes of the previous mayor could be auctioned for a high price of three million, and after he stepped down, he might have to rely on this loser to raise his value.
The mayor is followed by a series of government leaders, such as senators, judges, and finally the beneficiaries of the charity auction proceeds, the directors of several orphanages and the heads of municipal works, and the chief of the police.
When the party started on the other side, William, accompanied by Cindy, slowly came to the dance floor, and the two danced.
William is now 1.9 meters tall, and Cindy's height has also reached 1.75 meters, and Cindy, who is stepping on high heels, needs to look up a little bit when she looks at the man.
"Look at meβwhat?"
Cindy didn't expect the man to look at her with such affectionate eyes, but after a while, she retreated in defeat, pinned her head to other places, and her cheeks flushed.
"You're so beautiful, I don't look at you, what do you look at?"
William's very direct praise made the woman even more embarrassed, but fortunately, the man did not have any other rudeness except for a few praises.
ββ¦β¦ Are you telling the truth? Cindy didn't know when, raised her head again, looked at the man quietly, and suddenly asked.
"Cindy, you have to understand my character, I either don't say it, or if I say it, it must be true," William looked down at the woman, and after a moment's effort, the woman lowered her head again, this time not only her face turned red, but even her white neck was covered with redness.
As soon as the dance stopped, although William withdrew the hand holding the woman, by the way, the two of them interlocked their fingers and came to a table and chair next to them.
"Take a break, I see you're sweating," William took a tissue and wiped the fine sweat on the woman's forehead, this woman was tortured by herself today, her spirit was completely exhausted, and she didn't resist some of her intimate actions, and even had some small enjoyment.
The two of them sat quietly, due to the remote location, no one came to disturb them, if they stayed quietly like this, William could actually let his mood slowly calm down.
It's just that the gangsters in Gotham City are too terrifying, and today's charity auction has such a big harvest, as a gangster force, how can they be indifferent, as soon as the charity auction ends, there are three gangs of forces who invariably start the idea of kidnapping for ransom.
If these three forces still have any scruples, it is the elusive Batman in Gotham City in the past six months.
Since the emergence of Batman in Gotham City, the scope of underground gang activities has shrunk by more than half, and the crime rate has plummeted by 50%.
Fortunately, Batman never hurts people's lives, so the gang was not broken up and was directly dismantled.
The underground gangs in Gotham City are divided into more than a dozen forces, some big and some small, some strong and some weak, most of the gangs have a fixed black income, and today's charity auction can control greed even if it reaches the ears of these gang bosses, in the case of fear of Batman.
After all, kidnapping and blackmailing these charity tycoons and bringing out the consequences of Batman is not a joke.
In the past six months, many gang bosses or famous villains who were sent to prison by Batman have been sentenced to death.
There are cautious and equally crazy.
After the leaders of the three groups of forces met, the more they thought about it, the more excited they became, chattering about it, and preparing a kidnapping plan.
In the charity ball, there were also some people who were also moved by this auction and wanted to communicate more with William.
It's just that these people saw William chatting sweetly with a female companion, and they didn't come forward to disturb them very interestingly.
Only one red-haired beauty boasted that her beauty was amazing, and she was even more narcissistic and thought that her charm was unstoppable, so she twisted her upturned snow-buttocks and walked over to the two.
William also felt the woman's direct gaze, and when he turned his head slightly, he saw a red-haired beauty in a green dress, with a bewitching figure and graceful appearance, not only with a firm chest, a slender waist, but also an astonishing height of 1.7 meters, a pair of long legs - round and beautiful, it can be said that it has reached a peak in terms of appearance and figure, which belongs to the perfect golden ratio.
"Mr. William?"
The woman's eyes were as charming as silk, ignoring Cindy, who was cultivating a relationship with William, and sat directly next to William, the thighs of the two people were tightly pressed together, and the hot flesh emitted an amazing elasticity after touching the man.
William glanced out of the corner of his eye, this red-haired beauty in a green dress should be real material, looking round and firm, flawless in shape, and her skin is very delicate and smooth, very different from normal Caucasians.
"Dr. Easley, it's an honor to meet you!"
"You know me?"
"Of course, the success of your research has caused a sensation in the botanical community......"
William looked at the surprised expression of the woman in the green dress, and laughed in his heart: "Among the big villains in Gotham City who fought against Batman, not only the iconic outfit such as a green dress and red hair, but also the green color on the body covered by the green skirt, and even the charming big eyes emitted a seductive green light, such a coquettish super person, except for the poison ivy girl, I can't think of anyone else?"
