Marvel: Superman Survival Guide

Chapter 25 Fisk's Invitation

The prices of oriental antiques have begun to increase in recent years, but they have not yet reached sky-high prices. It is just right for Link to purchase them at this time.

He felt that he was lucky about this. After all, he had not considered this issue before, and his current home did not have enough space to store it.

Now you can just buy some ornaments as decoration. After all, this is the Marvel Universe, and an accident might destroy it at any time.

Link didn't have any interest in this area, but after Vanessa's introduction, he found out that the other party had a good reputation and could provide a carbon 14 test report. Coulson had also given relevant information before, so Link could buy it with confidence.

He bought quite a lot this time, but the overall price was not as much as the cost of the oil paintings.

Lin Ke was lucky to have found a bargain. This time he bought mainly porcelain from the Yuan and Ming dynasties. Some of them will be used as decorations in his home, and the rest will be collected first.

Vanessa could see that Link liked these porcelains very much, and she had made a good business introduction this time.

"Thank you very much." Link said to Vanessa after purchasing it, "If it weren't for you, an expert, I wouldn't be able to buy such a good thing."

"You're so polite. I'm counting on you to continue buying my paintings!" said Vanessa.

"Of course, there are still a few rooms that have not been decorated. However, I don't plan to continue purchasing this painter's works. Remember to notify me of your next exhibition." Link said, "In addition, I plan to set up a charity fund to specifically provide funding for legal matters."

"You know, I used to be a policeman. Now that I have money, I want to do something."

"And it's also about finding something for Jessica to do."

Vanessa said enviously, "You are so nice to her."

"You and Mr. Fisk..." Link only mentioned it briefly.

Vanessa shook her head and said, "I don't know either."

Link didn't ask any more questions, as this topic was not too far off the topic, but he immediately made an invitation, "How about I treat you to lunch to show my gratitude?"

"Okay!" Vanessa agreed.

Link treated the other person to lunch, then sent him back to the gallery before saying goodbye and leaving.

……

However, his actions were known to Wilson Fisk, and his right-hand man and friend James Wesley reported it to him.

"Were there any intimate behaviors between them?" Fisk asked.

"No, it was just a polite thank you," said James Wesley.

"Well, help me organize some card games and invite Lin to join." Fisk actually organized a card game.

"Okay, but who should we invite?" asked James Wesley.

"Mrs. Gao and Langley!" Fisk thought for a moment and then said.

……

Link received the call and readily agreed. It seems that Fisk cares a lot about Vanessa's affairs and has been paying attention to it.

Link had not expected to organize a card game so quickly, but it was part of his plan.

He could have not invited Vanessa to dinner, but in order to attract Fisk's attention, he invited her under the pretext of thanking her. Vanessa usually doesn't eat with guests, but Link is not an ordinary guest. On the one hand, he knows Fisk, and on the other hand, he wants to deepen his relationship with Vanessa, and he has a girlfriend.

He has no desire for Vanessa!
On the day of the game, Link packed up and was sent out of the house by Jessica. He drove to the place where Fisk had prepared.

However, he was searched before entering, and Link handed over his gun before he was allowed in.

"Mr. Fisk!" Link took the initiative to extend his hand, shook hands with the other party and said, "I didn't expect you to invite me."

"I do have something to ask you, so I organized this card game. Let me introduce it." Mrs. Gao and Langley were both here. They came here early.

The two were very surprised that Fisk organized a card game. Langley recognized Link as soon as he came in, so he said, "Mr. Lin, long time no see."

"Do you know each other?" Fisk asked curiously.

"Yes." Link said, "My financial affairs have been entrusted to Mr. Osley's accounting firm. He recently helped me buy a large number of Stark Industries stocks."

"The tax season is coming soon, and I have to use the funds. Otherwise, the taxes I have to pay will be enough to keep me awake at night."

Langley smiled and said, "Yes, but time is too short. Now we can only temporarily buy more stable stocks to preserve their value."

"That's really a coincidence." Fisk suddenly realized, and then said, "This is Mrs. Gao. She has a lot of businesses in New York."

"Hello ma'am." Link shook hands with the other party.

Mrs. Gao said in Chinese: "Hello, Mr. Lin."

"It seems that we will have a lot in common. I just bought some antique porcelain recently. I wonder if Mrs. Gao is interested in this?" Link also spoke Chinese.

James Wesley helped translate in Fisk's ear. This man has a strong learning ability and is proficient in multiple functional languages. He is Fisk's right-hand man.

"Is Lin Xinsheng a new immigrant?" asked Mrs. Gao.

"No, our family has been here for four generations, but we all speak Chinese at home. Unfortunately, my parents had a car accident, and now there is no one at home to speak to me." Link looked regretful.

Then the card game began, with one bet being one thousand dollars, which was much smaller than what Tony Stark and the others were playing.

Link still looked like he was observing, but Fisk was a little more talkative. "Lin, how is Vanessa now?"

"Wilson, you shouldn't ask me this!" Link smoked a cigar. "I met her a few days ago, but I don't know much about what happened between you two. I only mentioned it a few times. It seems that Vanessa is hesitant."

"You should be bolder."

Mrs. Gao and Langley looked at each other. They did not agree with Fisk being distracted now, but it was not a good idea to bring it up in this situation.

Fisk naturally had his own purpose in inviting the two. He wanted to express his attitude, but Link was not aware of this.

"Once you decide, you must do it. If you hesitate too much, you will lose."

Link encouraged Fisk, saying that he was a decisive person even if he didn't encourage him, and Link used this to bring the two closer together.

"You're right. There were some unpleasant things during the previous dinner. It was my fault." Fisk said calmly, "I will invite her again."

"That's right, I believe Vanessa will come." Link continued to encourage.
