My Pig Saved the World [Comprehensive British and American]

Bruce drove the car into the underground garage of a building in Manhattan.

Karin looked at Bruce and said, "Are we there?"

Bruce nodded and said, "Yes." After speaking, he opened the door and got out of the car.

Karin unbuckled her seat belt and was about to open the car door beside her when she saw Bruce walk to the car door on her side and open it for her. She looked at him in surprise.

Seeing her surprised look, Bruce smiled faintly, stretched out his arms towards her, and said, "Come down!"

Karin nodded, stretched out her hand to support Bruce's strong arm and jumped out of the car, saying, "This is the first time a boy has opened the door for me. It's a bit... weird."

"It's a matter of course, why does it make you feel weird?" Bruce asked.

Karin shrugged and said, "Probably... because it's the first time I met you?"

Bruce chuckled and said, "Then you should get familiar with such things as soon as possible."

Karin smiled, thinking that she might not be familiar with such things, but she nodded and said, "Okay. By the way, the coffee shop you ordered is upstairs?"

Bruce said in a deep voice: "That's right." After finishing speaking, he reached out to hold her hand and put it on his arm, "You will definitely like this coffee shop."

"Huh?" Karin looked at Bruce and smiled, "Are you so sure I'll like it?"

"Of course!" Bruce said firmly.

Facts have proved that what Bruce said is really true. The coffee shop he booked is located on the 90th floor of the building. Although it is not on the top floor, the coffee shop has two floor-to-ceiling glass walls, one glass wall facing the Hudson On the other side of the glass wall is the bustling street scene of Manhattan with high-rise buildings.And because of the heavy snow, no matter which glass wall you sit on to enjoy the scenery, you feel like you are in a city of ice and snow.

There were no other guests in the coffee shop. Karin sat down on the sofa, looked at the Hudson River in the distance, and said, "Have you booked this place?"

Bruce smiled, but said nothing.

"Oh, this should be Miss Barnum!" An old man in a white shirt and black waistcoat walked towards Bruce and Karin with a silver tray in his hand.

Karin turned her head to look at the sound.

"That's right," Bruce replied, looking at Karin and saying, "He's my butler Alfred."

housekeeper?Karin looked at the old man walking towards them with a surprised expression. She had to say that she didn't expect to see his butler here, wait, here... "Isn't this a coffee shop?"

"Oh, it is indeed here, but it belongs to our young master." Alfred walked slowly to the table, put the two glasses of lemonade on the tray in front of them respectively, and said while looking at Karin with a smile : "What would you like to drink, Miss Barnum?"

Karin looked up at Alfred's kind eyes, was silent for a while, and said, "Uh, if it's okay, I'd like a cup of hot cocoa..."

Alfred laughed and said, "No problem." He looked at Bruce, "A brandy?"

Bruce hummed and said, "Yes, a glass."

Alfred turned and walked towards the bar of the coffee shop.

Karin looked at Alfred, sighed softly, and said, "He is very similar to my grandfather!"

"He was like my grandfather to me," Bruce said. "He watched me grow up."

Karin nodded enviously and said, "That's great!" After finishing speaking, she took a sip of the lemonade and took off her cotton coat. The air conditioner here is a bit hot.

Bruce looked at Karin and said, "He's always wanted to see you."

"Me? Why?" Karin laughed, "Oh, I see, you mentioned me to him!"

Bruce nodded and said, "I told him I made a new friend, a lovely new friend."

Karin raised her eyebrows and said, "Cute? Am I cute?"

Bruce smiled and said, "It seems that you don't have much self-awareness."

Karin took out a rubber band from her trouser pocket and tied her hair up, saying: "No, most people don't think I'm cute when they see me, they just think I'm weird because I don't take the initiative to interact with people. Communication, unless that person is very familiar with me." She shrugged, "I think I have a social barrier to some extent, and if you are familiar with me, you will definitely not think I am cute."

"You mean that I'm not familiar with you yet, so I will try my best." Bruce said, "Of course, this also requires your cooperation. For example, we may come out for a cup of coffee often."

Karin was amused by Bruce's expression. When he said that, he showed a very aggrieved expression. I have to say that his handsome face is really not suitable for such an expression. She drank the lemonade in one go, Say, "Oh, I think you're going to regret it, Bruce.

"Regret? Why do you say that?" Bruce asked Karin with a smile.

Karin shrugged and said, "Actually, I'm very verbose. You won't be able to stand my verbosity. My own verbosity is the kind that even my own brother can't stand." She saw Alfred walking towards them with the tray again. Come on, stand up reluctantly.

Alfred walked to the table, looked at Karin with a smile and said, "Relax, Miss Barnum."

Karin smiled, reached out to pick up the wine glass from the tray, turned around and put it in front of Bruce, picked up the steaming cocoa, and said, "I don't think I can relax, to be honest, you and my grandfather really look alike , I can't get an old gentleman who looks like my grandfather to serve me."

Alfred blinked, glanced at Bruce, and said to Karin: "I think what you said is right, then, I will go to the lounge to read the newspaper for a while and enjoy a cup of mellow black tea." Yes, sir, you must take good care of Miss Barnum."

Bruce nodded and said, "I'll take care of Karin."

Alfred turned and left the cafe with a smile.

With Alfred leaving, only Karin and Bruce were left in the coffee shop, and no one spoke for a while.

Karin sat down again with hot cocoa. She looked at Bruce, who was slowly sipping wine, and didn't seem to want to speak, and said, "You said when you called this morning, what do you want me to confirm?"

Bruce looked back at Karin and said, "It's about your grandfather, but just now..." He paused, "I can see that you have deep feelings for your grandfather, so I'm starting to hesitate now, maybe You don't need confirmation."

An ominous premonition welled up in Karin's heart, but she still laughed and said, "You've already said half of what you said, isn't it good to deliberately hang on to my curiosity?"

Bruce shrugged, put down the wine glass in his hand, leaned comfortably on the soft back of the sofa, turned his head and looked out the window, and said lightly: "Curiosity, many times, curiosity will make you see too much that you shouldn't see. s things."

"Hey, Bruce." Karin said, "It's wrong to pretend to be deep."

Bruce smiled suddenly when he heard the words, turned his eyes, looked at Karin and said, "Did you see it?"

"Does this need to be seen? Obviously!" Karin said with a smile, "Okay, don't tease me on purpose, you know I'm not here for hot cocoa."

Bruce stared at Karin, remained silent for a long time, and said slowly: "I caught someone in Gotham, and she told a part about George Williams, and the one about you is..." He paused He stood down, as if he was thinking about something.

Karin blinked her eyes, she said?Bruce caught a woman?So what did she say about her?

"They invited you to perform in Los Angeles because they wanted to silence you," Bruce said.

Karin was stunned for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "What did you say? Silence? Whose mouth? Mine?"

Bruce nodded silently.

Karin looked at Bruce in disbelief, unable to say a word.

"Hydra has a plan called Pandora." Bruce said, "They got what they wanted from your grandfather, but they didn't get the key. They suspect that you have the key they need hidden here."

"Key?" Karin looked at Bruce inexplicably, "What do they need a key for? I don't have any here at all?"

"But they don't think so. You left Texas immediately after you inherited the Barnum Circus and moved to Princeton three years ago, right?" Bruce said, watching Karin nod in confirmation, "They were at your grandfather's farm No key was found in it."

Karin said suspiciously: "But, I moved the circus to survive, and it has nothing to do with any key!"

"Maybe, your moving away has nothing to do with the key, you don't even know what a key is." Bruce's face gradually became serious, "Hydra's Pandora plan has started."

"Wait, what kind of Pandora project... what the hell is it?" Karin asked, "The more I listen, the more confused I become."

Bruce didn't answer Karin's question right away. His face became gloomy, and after he drank the wine in the glass, he said, "I don't know. Because... when I asked this, she bit the poison hidden in her teeth. /Drug suicide/killed.”

Karin frowned upon hearing this, biting the poison *blocked keyword*?How hard can you do this to yourself?

"From the information I got, although their plan was launched, it didn't go smoothly. The key is the key," Bruce said.

Karin thought for a while and said, "It's strange. Since the key point is the key, and they suspect that the key is in me, why do they still keep silent? The normal way of thinking is not to arrest me and ask where the key is." ?"

Bruce smiled, looked at Karin and said: "There are many people in this world that you can't use normal thinking to understand what they think, just like a *blocked keyword* I caught a long time ago, you don't even know Why did he pile hundreds of millions of dollars into a mountain and burn them all? The same is true for these people in Hydra. Maybe they think they know where the key is. Before that, killing you in Malibu will serve multiple purposes thing."

Karin was silent, and she began to recall everything that had happened from the time George Williams showed up to the time she took Jack to perform in Los Angeles.

Bruce watched Karin lost in thought. He stood up and walked towards the bar. After taking a bottle of wine from the bar, he walked back slowly and said, "Because I can't speculate according to common sense, so I need Find their purpose in the incident."

Karin looked up at Bruce suddenly, and asked, "You said just now that my grandfather and I have a deep relationship, so I was hesitant to ask me to confirm what it is for you? What you want to confirm is definitely not whether the so-called key is with me or not." ,Is it right?"

Bruce uncorked the bottle and poured wine into the glass, then put down the bottle, turned his eyes to Karin, and said, "Yes, that's right."

Karin asked, "So, what exactly are you trying to confirm?"
