New York, Fifth Avenue, Four Seasons Hotel.

In order to cater to Bruce Wayne's banquet, the hotel removed all the small tables in the restaurant on the entire floor and replaced them with long tables.

As guests arrived one after another, the hall gradually became lively.

But compared to the area of ​​the entire hall, the number of these guests is really small.

But they are undoubtedly the real top dignitaries in New York.

Mayors, congressmen, chaebols, celebrities...

If you have to compare.

So the charity dinner Kingpin once held was like a neighborhood gathering.

It's exactly eight o'clock.

Xia Hua, who arrived in time, was led by his attendants and as soon as he walked into the hall, he saw the dignitaries gathered together in twos and threes chatting.

The men heard the footsteps and thought it was Bruce Wayne arriving.

Everyone is looking forward to it.

It can be seen that the last person to come was a young man with a hairless mouth. Some people could not hide their disappointment and did not take Xia Hua's appearance seriously.

I even feel that since this person has received an invitation from Bruce Wayne, he is still so negligent. He is obviously a stubborn and ignorant person who should not be deeply friends with him.

Some people were well-informed and knew the connection between Xia Hua and Hellfire, so they restrained their expressions, smiled and nodded to him.

Xia Hua's expression remained unchanged and he walked into the hall calmly.

But in my heart I lamented the influence of Wayne Group.

Not only do they live a good life in Gotham, just like the local emperors, but outside their own territory, other upper-class people line up to kneel and lick them.

Waited another 5 minute.

The soothing music in the hall stopped abruptly.

A figure walked calmly from the door.

He walked into the hall without squinting his eyes and walked into the hall very naturally.

The guests gathered in twos and threes were slightly commotion.

No one dared to block his progress.

This momentum was as if the lion king was patrolling his territory until he walked to the center of the hall.

The man with meticulously combed hair took a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray.

Bruce smiled slightly at the surroundings.

The atmosphere became tense and relaxed depending on his actions.

Everyone was watching him, surrounding him like stars holding the moon, waiting for the billionaire to deliver a speech.

"Everyone is welcome."

Bruce Wayne toasted everyone around him gracefully.

The people around him smiled very cooperatively due to his super power.

"This is not my first time in New York, but the changes in New York still make me yearn for it."

Bruce said and looked at the mayor of New York.

“A truly prosperous city is not about how tall the buildings are, but about how many homeless people there are on the roadside.”

“Thank you Mayor Eric for your hard work in this great city.”

The mayor with a lean face smiled reservedly, but he was happy in his heart.

He also responded with a compliment.

"Mr. Wayne still has the ability to make Wayne Group bigger and stronger."

The two smiled at each other.

It's just business talk, and everyone knows it.

Bruce then said a few polite words to several powerful officials and senior conglomerates.

For a time, the guests present were enjoying themselves and the atmosphere was fiery.

"I hope you all have a great time today."

After the particle ends.

After Bruce endured his patience and dealt with others for a while, he naturally came to Xia Hua.

"Bruce Wayne."

Facing this extended hand, anyone else would have been flattered.

But Xia Hua just shook hands with him with a calm expression.

"Erwin, CEO of Umbrella."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bruce grabbed his hand, leaned over on his own initiative, and whispered.

"Or should I call you...one of the Hellfires."

Faced with Bruce's intimidation, Xia Hua's expression remained unchanged.

Shili, who came to the side as Xia Hua's female companion, was an old undercover agent who had broken into the capital empire, and his face was calm.

But he was secretly on guard in his heart.

After Xia Hua and Bruce let go of their hands.

Their eyes met.

Neither of them retreated.

The brewing momentum collided together like mountains, making an invisible loud noise.

"Mr. Erwin, as a member of the United States, what do you think of what the Hellfire Organization is doing in New York?"

Bruce Wayne leads the attack, speaking in an aggressive tone.

His eyes were as bright as two big lights, as if he wanted to see Xia Hua through.

But no matter how resourceful Bruce is, he is not the old bat in the future who can even plot against gods.

He failed to see that the person in front of him was not a banana man with yellow skin and a white heart, but the mastermind behind the plan to disintegrate the empire from within the enemy.

Xia Hua smiled at Bruce Wayne's question.

He opened his mouth and started talking nonsense.

"Orderly darkness is better than disorderly darkness, and I think Hellfire's actions have made the entire city safer."

"They are doing good things." Xia Hua emphasized with a serious face.

Do good deeds, of course.

Today's New York is like a back garden to Xia Hua and Hai Zhu.

In addition to not carrying out blatant terrorist attacks, the organization has gone one step further in infiltrating all areas of the city.

Bruce, who has traveled around the world, is not fooled by this nonsense.

"On the surface, it looks like the crime rate in the city has decreased. But you and I both know that Hellfire dominates the gray industries in New York. With it as a backing, in fact, the amount of arms and laundry detergent transactions in the entire city has become It’s even bigger! Did you say you were saving the city?”

Although Bruce suppressed his voice, the will in his voice was still strong.

Faced with his question, Xia Hua shrugged.

"But you can't deny what I'm saying. The crime rate in the city has indeed decreased, and the streets have become a lot safer at night. Since Hellfire took over other people's industries, everything has become standardized. And those Gray trade will not disappear regardless of the existence of Hellfire. As for the custom industry and human smuggling... Mr. Wayne, do you understand how difficult it is for some people to live? At least under the management of Hellfire, they will not do it for no reason. 's death."

Xia Hua spoke like a treasure trove, all talking about his advantages.

Bruce had a serious face and looked at him with heavy eyes.

"Stop playing word games! What you are doing is like icebergs in the sea hiding yourselves. On the surface, crime seems to have decreased, but you know how much darkness there is under the surface of the sea!"

Faced with this almost accusatory tone, Xia Hua was not willing to be a punching bag.

He sighed and shook his head at Bruce.

"You've lost your temper, Mr. Wayne."

After speaking, he raised his leg and was about to leave.

But Bruce reached out and grabbed Xia Hua's arm.

Xia Hua didn't want to make the dignified Bruce Wayne look bad in public, so he didn't resist.

But not taking action does not mean not fighting back.

"I also have a question to ask you."

His tone of voice was no longer polite.

"What do you think of Gotham's bat vigilantes?"

When Bruce heard the word bat, his eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but let go of Xia Hua's hand.

"Civil liberties are being trampled on in Gotham, and good people are still living in fear. Once all they feared was crime at night, now they also fear a humanoid bat."

Xia Hua tugged on his sleeves unhurriedly, waiting for Bruce's answer.

After a few breaths, the richest man in Gotham pursed his lips and smiled a little far-fetched.

"It's a bit hypocritical for us to talk about violating the law here? What people call a hero will be praised and praised even if he saves a cat. I think the bat...that vigilante was just doing the right thing."

After saying that, Bruce stared with stubborn eyes that refused to admit defeat.
