Chapter 20 Choice
"Everyone, time waits for no one, so you'd better not waste your precious time, I hate people who waste time the most!"
The voice fell, but there was no reaction from the crowd.
Although most of these people have been rich and noble since childhood, and their subsequent efforts are not comparable to the gifts of their predecessors, but just being able to play with the assets of their ancestors will naturally not be simple-minded. Therefore, although Bai Ye expressed his impatience, they had to think carefully about what was hidden in Bai Ye's words, after all, it was a choice about life.
This situation was completely expected, anyway, the time was only five minutes, Bai Ye didn't care about this little time, and he believed that someone would make a choice, even if he didn't say what the outcome of the choice would be, but any hope would be grasped, even if it was only a little bit.
Sitting back on the sofa, picking up the wine glass he had just put down, he looked at the black-clad men with guns and trembling faceless faces surrounded by his inexplicable bad taste, his heart was unprecedentedly happy, the pain and depression he had experienced before were completely dissipated after he reached the top of Gotham City, as if nothing could stop him from moving forward, and any obstacle became worthless.
"Wait a minute!" Suddenly, a voice came from the crowd, which directly interrupted his fluttering thoughts.
When he turned his eyes, he saw that among the rich people, a gray-haired old man came out of the crowd, looking at him with a flat gaze, without any fear.
Bai Ye looked at this somewhat familiar old man curiously, his plain eyes revealed a little anger, and he seemed to be a little disgusted by his behavior, which made him a little interested.
"Hello, old sir, you look familiar."
Swallowing the wine in the cup in one gulp, it made a stinging sensation in the throat for a moment, and Bai Ye smiled at the old man and said.
"You can't do that!" The old man's voice was a little heavy, and his eyes looked straight at Bai Ye, as if he was reprimanding him for his evil deeds.
He didn't know the purpose of the white night, but his life experience was so rich that it was unimaginable for ordinary people to be able to clearly feel the hidden malice of the white night, and he also understood what kind of impact the white night's words would have, no matter what kind of result the white night wanted, but when his words reached everyone's ears, a split that began from the inside could not be contained.
"Why?" Bai Ye couldn't help but smile when he heard this, stretched out his arm, shook his fingers, a wicked smile appeared on his face, his eyes swept over everyone, and said, "Maybe you haven't understood it yet, but you are already my hostages, so you can do whatever I want." ”
At this moment, another person stood up, but compared to the old man, the middle-aged rich man who stood up was a little less fearless, looking at Bai Ye nervously, grabbing his fingers uneasily, and kneading hard.
An expensive handmade low-key aristocratic suit obviously did not give him any sense of security in this situation, and even he began to hate himself for being able to come to such a banquet, but at the same time he had to start worrying about whether his choice would get him out of danger, but he also had to take risks for it.
He deeply understands a truth, never expect luck to fall on your head, and only those who can seize the opportunity can succeed.
It is precisely for this reason that although Bai Ye did not explain what the so-called 'compensation' was, he still made such a choice, a choice between the two.
"I want 'compensation.'"
The voice trembled slightly, and the choice of taking life as a stake, naturally no one was not nervous.
"Good!"
Bai Ye laughed, walked up, and patted the shoulder of the first person who chose to stand up, but his strength was obviously greater, and at the same time, this person was already uneasy, his legs kept trembling, and he slapped him and fell directly to the ground.
Slightly stunned, Bai Ye smiled, stretched out his hand to pull it up, patted the other party's face, and said softly: "You will secretly laugh for your choice." ”
"Very well, now that the first person has accepted my compensation, is there anyone else?" Bai Ye turned his head to look at the crowd and asked loudly.
And with the first man coming out and not being left behind in the building, some of the rich finally decided to take a risk for their lives.
People are herd, and after a while, many people make a choice, and they all take steps with the intention of fighting.
It's just a two-choice question, someone chooses one of the answers, and some choose the other, maybe they don't have the spirit of adventure, maybe they become cautious with the accumulation of wealth, but in short, after a while, the rich people at the banquet are clearly distinguished, forming two sides.
The white-haired old man looked at this situation, and couldn't help but sigh, although the division here will not affect the outside world, but these people are the top group of people in the city, holding eighty percent of the city's wealth in their hands, although there will be no problems with the choice at this time, but the problem is never gratuitous, with the accumulation of time, today's choice is destined to affect the future of the city.
"Oh! I want to come! Bai Ye looked at the rich men who made the choice with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but suddenly recalled the image of the white-haired old man in his mind, turned to point at the other party and said, "Ah Fu, you are Alfred, right!" ”
There was a variety of meanings in the smile on his face, which made Alfred a little inexplicable, but he felt as if he had been seen through, but then he shook his head and smiled, although the Asian young man in front of him was ruthless, how could he see through his whole person with just one name, which made him wonder if he was also nervous.
"That's right, sir." Pressing the thought in his mind, Alfred nodded.
"I've admired the name for a long time." Bai Ye said lightly.
He didn't have much curiosity about this old man, after all, he even killed the clown with his own hands, so he naturally didn't have any emotions about these so-called plot characters, but this old man might be able to have some effect.
"Alright, everyone! Time Deadline! He looked at the time, the original five minutes had already exceeded a little, he walked to the dividing line where different choices had been made, and said to the people who chose to stand up: "You have accepted my compensation, so you will get what you want, as for you who have given up compensation......"
He turned to look at the other group of people, those whose expressions were visibly stunned after hearing Bai Ye's words, paused, and finally suddenly pulled out a smile before they showed despair.
"Congratulations on being chosen by me, and as a reward, you, well, give something insignificant, like, your name and, a little finger!"
