I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 211 Dating Auction
Ten minutes ago, at the backstage of the venue.

"You want me to sell myself out and date those guys? No, I don't want that."

The Kryptonian girl, who is called Supergirl by others, folded her hands on her chest and shook her head like a rattle.

"Besides, you were the one who tricked me into today's party. I was already very upset when I saw that fellow Luther discussing me with others, and I also met a strange person who wanted me to cooperate with some strange experiment, no matter what , I plan to go back."

Beside her, a woman in a tight black leather jacket grabbed her arm as if coaxing a child, trying to persuade her.

If Jacques was here, he would recognize her. She is Dinah's mother, Dinah Laurel Lance, the second-generation Black Canary, and the current commander-in-chief of the Justice League.

"Don't, wait, don't do this, Kara. This is a public welfare event to rebuild the city. Diana and the others have held similar events before. This will help rebuild your image. You must know the instigation in Luther There is already a public opinion that you will be prosecuted for the damage you caused."

Although she heard Laurel say this, Carla still looked a little reluctant.

"I didn't fight to make others like me, and besides, it's obviously the fault of those Apocalypse demons."

"Okay, okay, I know your starting point is kind, so I will help you find a way in this way. Besides, although it is a date, it is actually just staying together for a while. I think if you don't If you like it, no one can take advantage of you, right?"

After Carla hesitated again and again, she finally nodded.And Laurel combed Kara's golden hair with her hands lovingly. In her eyes, the image of this girl and her own daughter somewhat overlapped.

"Okay, you can't pout on the stage later, if you scare others to the point of failing the finale, it would be a big shame."

However, it turns out that Laurel's worries were unfounded.

"$25 million!"

"Did I hear $30?"

"75! It seems that our Miss Kara is very charming!"

Dating a super girl is a good way to expand her reputation just from the news point of view, so the price of the placard has risen, and Kara can't help but cover her mouth with a face of disbelief.

"Mr. Luthor offered $200 million—wait a minute, I was just told that Miss Kara doesn't accept invitations from bald heads. This is not for any of the VIPs."

Seeing that Luther pouted and put down the sign in his hand, he looked displeased.Jacques suppressed a smile and teased in a low voice.

"Is Mr. Luthor also interested in Supergirl?"

"No, I just wanted to stir up the atmosphere of the auction. I didn't expect that silly girl to be as ignorant as ever. Forget it, without that Bruce Wayne and I raising the price, playing this game is meaningless."

Luthor seemed to be raising his volume on purpose. As expected of an old fritter, Kara obviously wanted to make him lose face, but it was easily resolved by his words.

Jacques also has an auction number plate in his hand, but he doesn't intend to raise the plate to bid. He is not stupid enough to pay a lot of money to ask a little ancestor to make a bad face for himself.Besides, he came here to ask for money, but he didn't have a penny on him.
"750."

Suddenly, a clear and decisive female voice sounded, and the audience fell silent for an instant, even a needle could be heard falling on the ground.

"Wait, did I hear you wrong. It was Dr. Veronica Kyle who raised the price to $1000 million?"

All eyes turned to the beautiful woman standing up, who just stared at Kara with a sure-fire smile on her face.

"750 million for the first time, 750 million for the second time, it seems that Miss Kara's partner is about to be confirmed tonight—"

And Veronica has already stepped towards the stage, reaching out her hand to Kara who was still in a daze and didn't recover.

Jacques narrowed his eyes, and suddenly made a decision after a short thought.

"Mr. Luther, can you lend me some money?"

Luther's eyes lit up, and at the same time with an interesting smile on his face, he quickly took out the check folder from his breast pocket.

"I said you would have unlimited support from the Lex Group—how ​​much do you want?"

While Luthor handed the signed check folder to Jacques, the latter also raised the auction number plate in his hand.

"1000 million!"

All of a sudden, there was a gasp and exclamations in the venue, and some people couldn't hold back their curiosity and stood up to find the source of the bidding.

Jacques, who became the focus of the audience, walked towards the stage while holding up the number plate in his hand.But his eyes were not on Cara, but on Veronica Kyle.

The bearded Veronica seemed a little annoyed at first, but after turning her head to look at Jacques, there was a thoughtful look in her eyes, and then she remained silent.

"1000 million for the first time! 1000 million for the second time! 1000 million for the third time - deal! Mr. Joaquin Chow from Gotham won the dream encounter with a super girl!"

Jacques walked up to the stage and handed the check in his hand to the host, while Kara walked up to Jacques timidly and looked at the man with disbelief.Even as a Kryptonian, she has been on this planet for several years, and Kara knows the value of 1000 million US dollars very well.

"Your name is Jacques Zhou? I, I seem to have heard of your name. By the way, is that the person Dana mentioned."

However, Jacques didn't put his mind on Cara, he just watched Veronica from the beginning to the end.

And Veronica shrugged regretfully, with an unpredictable smile on her face.

"Well, I didn't expect that this Mr. Jacques was not only extremely generous, but also so fascinated by this super girl, it seems that he is indeed a wealthy woman. It seems that I should also be more interesting, so as not to waste the time of the two of you spending a good night together"

"Wait a minute, Dr. Kyle—in fact, if you wish, I can pass on the right to date Supergirl as a token of my sincerity."

As soon as Jacques said this, Kara covered her lips in confusion behind Jacques, while Veronica frowned slightly, folded her arms on her chest, and looked at Jacques with a weird smile.

"Did I hear wrong? Mr. Jacques, you just raised the auction price from my 750 million to 1000 million, and then just to give me the right?"

"I think if I can get your attention, Dr. Veronica Kyle, for $1000 million, I think it's worth it—I just want to occupy you a little bit after your date with Miss Kara, Dr. Kyle a little time."

"I would like to have the opportunity to speak with you, Dr. Kyle, alone."
