The Super God Journey of American Comics
13. eccentric
At eight o'clock, Allen and his assistant arrived at the New York mayor's estate. Today's charity dinner, Mr. Mayor invited many people, all of whom are business elites and celebrities.
Unexpectedly, I ran into Caitlin and Ivy, whom I hadn't seen for a long time: "Caitlin! Ivy! Long time no see! Didn't you go to Europe? How was the trip to the International Atomic Energy Agency?"
The two beauties gave Allen a firm hug respectively. The three of them were old friends and everything started from the lottery. Over the years, all three of them have gained a lot.
Caitlin smiled and said: "I just came back yesterday! It felt pretty good there. The hadron collision experiment at this stage has just been completed, and the data is being collected and sorted. I have nothing to do for the time being, so I will come back first. My instructor is probably still there. It’ll take two months.”
"Ivy! How about you? How is your business development in Europe going?"
"Do you still remember that you are the boss of a fund company? How long has it been since you went to Manhattan? Do you remember which way the company's door opens? Thanks to me working so hard, the boss doesn't even remember that he has this company. This is so disturbing. So sad!" Ivy also joked.
"Okay! It's my fault, how about I treat you to dinner? I'll cook it myself!"
"That's it! It's been a long time since I tasted your craftsmanship! I miss it a bit!" Ivy finally let Allen go.
"What are you three talking about? Did you make a lot of money again? So happy!" A middle-aged man's voice came from the side. The three of them looked and saw that it was Obadiah from Stark Industries.
Obadiah is also a business tycoon and presides over the operations of Stark Industries. As for Stark, he doesn't care about things most of the time. If it weren't for Obadiah, in good conscience, Stark Industries wouldn't be able to develop so well. Now, that guy Stark is not a good company leader.
The three of them had all interacted with him. Allen's company ordered many of its high-end precision instruments from Stark Industries, and they were all familiar with them. Allen felt that what Obaday said when fighting Stark in the movie made sense. During the Howard era, Obadiah was indeed just a good assistant. But after Tony came to power, based on his temper, the company could not develop so well. It is undeniable that Stark is a genius, but good products cannot be sold without a good operator. Stark's prodigal and arrogant character is so offending.
Now Obaday is not the big villain, but a typical Wall Street elite. He is very proficient in all kinds of skills in dealing with people, and he quickly got along with the three of them.
Allen thought: If he hadn't known the subsequent plot, no one would have imagined that it was this kind and shrewd old man who started the magnificent era of the Marvel world.
Allen didn't intend to interfere with Obadiah, not to mention that he was the beginning of the entire era and the cornerstone of Stark's growth. Marvel's plot is very strange. If you kill the original villain, maybe a new villain will pop up out of nowhere, and a new timeline will open. Therefore, Allen rarely interferes with the development of plot characters. After all, it is better to keep the enemy on the surface. He can't be called invincible now. The Supreme Mage hasn't come to him yet. It's probably because Allen hasn't done anything extraordinary.
It's okay, don't make yourself uncomfortable! One day a bald man popped up and said to Allen, you are an unstable factor, so you should leave! Wouldn't it be tragic to then wave him and throw him into some unknown space? Even though Allen claims to be a god, when he encounters the Ancient One holding the Time Stone, he will definitely kill him in seconds. Even without the Time Stone, there is no problem in beating Allen. Traveling in the physical dimension, can you believe it? He doesn’t even know what dimensions are now! The ability is not yet at this level.
Sometimes, you can't blame Allen for being so wretched. Youdao is a cheater who cannot beat the son of the plane. There is a famous meme on the Internet. Some people say that Wang Mang of the Han Dynasty was a cheating time traveler. Judging from the policies he implemented, they were basically similar to those of later generations, and he even became emperor. what's the result? The son of the plane taught him how to behave. Emperor Guangwu Liu Xiu, who was a bandit, soon became the leader of the rebel army; he didn't even need to be angry, and all kinds of subordinates bowed to him; a famous general, his wife came to his door; he encountered an army of 40 to encircle and suppress him, and then justice came from heaven. Forehead. . . What a mistake! Meteorite falling from the sky! A big win. In the next three months, he captured the capital and became emperor. In just a few years, he reached the peak of his life before he was thirty. No YY novel author on the Internet dares to write like this. This kind of novel will be finished in a few dozen episodes. Who will read it?
So as a time traveler, it's better to keep a low profile. The children of the plane are very scary. They trigger the power of plane correction and they don't know how they died.
. . .
Charity dinners are all the same thing. Everyone said hello to the organizer, Mr. Mayor, and then each found someone to chat about the weather, build relationships, and exchange some business news. Some cooperation was quietly reached without even realizing it. In fact, these dinner parties are all in this tone. No, Allen, the three of them, and Obadiah are all big names in the industry, and many people have come up to chat with them. There was a crowd of people around. Of course there is no crowding, everyone is decent people, don’t be so ungrateful.
The last step is usually for everyone to take out some of their home collections, which may not necessarily be very precious, but must be rare, auction them off, and donate them as funds to charities, and the banquet is complete.
Allen has no interest in these. He himself makes hundreds of millions for charity every year. This kind of dinner is just a simple idea. There are many such charity dinners in European and American countries. In reality, China has also become popular. Donating a lot of money to charity is considered a good thing. But if there are too many of these things, it becomes boring. Anyone would be bored with at least dozens of shows a year. Just think about it. I casually took pictures of two pieces of jewelry, a bracelet and a necklace, and gave them to Caitlin and Ivy. He has no relatives, only these two friends, so it would be nice to give jewelry to ladies.
The two beauties did not put it off. Both of them were rich people. This kind of jewelry worth more than one hundred thousand yuan was a lot. Allen still had to thank him for his thoughtfulness. The two beauties each took a photo and gave it to Allen, a set of golf clubs and an unknown oil painting. But they all have some collection value.
When Allen was bored, the auctioneer on the stage took out a pendant in a bronze box, which caught Allen's attention. According to the auctioneer, a nobleman with a long history at the scene took it out. The cultural relics brought out from an Egyptian pyramid, archaeological discoveries in the 100th century, fell into his hands. Because they had no archaeological value, they were just antique jewelry. The price was not very high. They were auctioned for charity. The item is just right, the starting price is million, and the price is increased by each time.
This pendant is made of gold, with a half-moon on the outside and a pure round sapphire wrapped in a ring in the middle. The craftsmanship is quite exquisite, and the gems are relatively large, but the gems are not cut, so the price is not high. The reason why it caught Allen's attention was that the gem on the pendant was emitting a strange fluctuation at all times. If it weren't for the bronze box, Allen wouldn't have felt it. I don’t know what effect this fluctuation has, but there must be something weird about it. Allen decided to buy it. There are gods in the Marvel world, and this thing might be related to some gods in Egypt.
"110 million!" It seems that some people are interested.
"120 million!"
"150 million!" Some people are even more interested!
"Two million!" came an elegant voice. It was a middle-aged aristocrat, wearing a tuxedo, exquisitely dressed and elegant.
. . .
No one bid for a while. After all, the price was relatively high. The sudden increase of 50 yuan proved that this person really wanted this piece of jewelry. Under normal circumstances, everyone will give some face and not make any bids! No one will raise a flag unless necessary. There are too many people to offend, and it is impossible to survive on Wall Street. After all, the idiots in the novel are in the minority. But something happened today.
"300 million!" Allen also expressed his determination. It depends on the attitude of the middle-aged noble. To add 100 million is to ask him: I want it too, brother! Let’s discuss it and give it to me!
The middle-aged noble glanced at Allen and nodded slightly to say hello! He raised his sign again: "310 million~!" Brother, stop making trouble! I took a fancy to it first.
"400 million!" Allen nodded in return. Everyone depends on their ability!
"1000 million!" The middle-aged nobleman stopped paying attention to Allen. Everyone started talking, this is a rare opportunity, huh! The bench and melon seeds are ready!
"5000 million!" Allen sat up straight and compared with each other. The most important thing I don't need now is money! The melon-eating crowd was in an uproar: Stop it! brother! What the hell are you doing with your big moves when you come up! Can I still eat melon happily?
The middle-aged noble looked at Allen, smiled slightly, and stopped raising his sign. Allen was a little caught off guard, eh. . . ! brother! I've even raised my knife, but you stopped playing. Isn't that a little bad? Seeing that the middle-aged nobleman was so elegant, Allen felt that he was a good person and stopped arguing with him.
. . . 5000 million for the third time! make a deal! Congratulations to this gentleman for winning this auction item. On behalf of World Children's Fund, I would also like to thank this gentleman for his generosity! As the hammer falls, the bidding ends. The people who eat melons also have ups and downs. The show has just begun and is over! Not interesting!
After the auction, Allen got the pendant in a new box. This time there was no fluctuation. Caitlin and Ivy also took a closer look at the auction item that Allen bought for 5000 million. Except for the simple pattern on the box, they didn't see anything strange. Caitlin asked a little strangely: "Is there anything special about this pendant? Do you need to risk offending someone to buy it?"
Ivy also nodded, but her focus was different: "It also cost 5000 million!"
This is very consistent with their professions. Physicists focus on the differences between items, while business people focus on prices.
"It's not clear yet! I can't tell for the time being! Let's study it when we have time when we go back!" Allen shook his head.
In fact, Allen felt that the middle-aged nobleman knew something just now, but when he used telepathy to detect the middle-aged nobleman, he unexpectedly sensed nothing, as if his mind was blank, which was incredible. This is the first time he has encountered this situation since he transplanted this super power. Either he used special items to block his induction. He has also researched this kind of thing. Most of his own researchers have installed it to prevent others from prying into the company's secrets. In fact, most important research institutions have it. After all, Professor Allen was certain that the middle-aged nobleman did not have such an item.
Either the character itself is immune to this induction, which is rare. Allen thought about it for a long time, but he didn't remember who was this person who could block telepathy? He had forgotten to scan the middle-aged nobleman with his clairvoyance eyes just now. When he reacted, he was gone. It's impossible for an average person to disappear from his sensory and clairvoyant eyes within a few minutes. There must be something weird!
Separate from Caitlin and Ivy, and send the assistant home. She will go to Europe tomorrow. When Allen returned home, he observed with clairvoyance for a long time on the way but could not see anything special about the pendant and the bronze box. It was just that there were some strange energy circuits in both items, and he didn't know what they did. Allen returned home and put the bronze box in the bedside drawer.
I took a shower and started to rest. It’s been a tiring day today.
