[Comprehensive British and American] Emanuel the autistic
Chapter 23 Autism 23
Emmanuel often participates in some charitable activities, and the media is also happy to dub this generous capitalist a philanthropist.
Of course, the large-scale charity auction held tonight sent the invitation letter to Emanuel immediately.
After all, he was going to appear in a formal public occasion. Emanuel specially chose a black custom-made suit. The vicuna wool fabric made this suit feel like satin, light, breathable and simple, and made his slender and well-proportioned Groomed to be taller.
Even if he just stood motionless, he could naturally present the pampered nobility and just right arrogance to everyone.
"It's perfect." Butler Smith stood aside, watched Emmanuel tie the Windsor knot with the purple tie, and handed him a small black box, "Maybe it should match this set of cufflinks."
Emanuel opened the small box, and inside was a pair of cufflinks inlaid with purple transparent gemstones. The gemstones were wrapped around patterns forged in sterling silver. The style was not complicated, but it looked low-key and calm.
"I bought it at the exhibition in Dubai last time, and I haven't brought it once." Butler Smith said with some regret.
Emmanuel nodded: "Then take it with you tonight."
"I'll help you." Butler Smith put on his gloves, carefully took out the cufflinks, and fixed them on the cuffs.
"What time is it?" Emanuel asked while asking Butler Smith to help him put on the cuff buttons.
Butler Smith flicked Emmanuel's sleeve, and glanced at the time on his Patek Philippe watch: "06:30, there is still half an hour, master, do you need to take a look at the guest list?"
"No, it's getting late, it's time to go," Emmanuel said.
"Then I'll drive to the gate of the manor and see you off."
"sorry to bother you."
The moment he stepped off the silver-gray Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Emanuel was almost blinded by the flashing lights.
This kind of charity gala is not good. In a completely public place, there will always be a lot of reporters and gossiping people.
However, the security guards can be regarded as conscientious, keeping all these fanatical interviewers out of the isolation line.
Emmanuel nodded gracefully to the reporters, stared directly at their flashlights, and walked steadily into the auction room, then closed his eyes and pinched the space between his brows.
It was too harsh.
After the guests registered, Emanuel took over his bidding number plate, and quickly came to the venue under the guidance of the staff.
He came relatively late, and most of the seats were already occupied. Along the way, he saw many familiar faces in the business field, busy shaking hands and saying hello all the way.
Since there were not many vacant seats, Emanuel sat down casually in the last row, waiting for the auction to start while looking at the recent stock market situation.
Soon, the auction began, and at the same time, Emmanuel noticed that someone sat down not far from him.
He subconsciously looked up——
Tony Stark and his assistant Pepper Potts.
Obviously, the two of them also came late, so they could only sit in the last row.
Emanuel: "..."
——Why is it always you?
The two looked at each other, and suddenly, an awkward atmosphere filled the air.
Pepper greeted Emmanuel very politely, but Tony pretended not to see it, and quickly turned his head, his eyes wearing brown sunglasses looked at the position of the auction table motionlessly, and it seemed that Emmanuel could still hear He let out a disdainful "hum" from his nasal cavity.
Emanuel: "..."
Are you still arguing?Why is this person so childish?
Emmanuel decided to leave him alone, lest he be infected.
The auction started soon, and the first few auction items were just some appetizers, the value was not very high, and Emmanuel had no interest.
He felt a little bored, so he began to secretly pay attention to Tony's movements.
Tony also felt bored. As a philanthropist, he donated countless dollars in his name every year, so he always had an attitude of not loving this kind of charity auction.
He didn't plan to participate in this auction, and planned to let Xiaojiao take his place. If he saw something he liked, he would let her take a picture of it.
Unexpectedly, he accidentally saw Emmanuel's name on the guest list.
Is this okay?
So he immediately regained his energy and called back Pepper, who had already walked halfway, and then the two of them drove to the auction venue together.
—Yes, that's why they were late.In this regard, Pepper said that he is increasingly unable to understand the brain circuit of his boss.
At this moment, he felt bored, so he quietly glanced at Emmanuel who was sitting not far away, and unexpectedly found that the other party was also looking at him.
Tony immediately lifted his spirits and entered a fighting state.
With an idea, he thought about it, and suddenly pulled Pepper close to her ear and said, "Little Pepper, do you like this auction item? I can take a picture of it for you."
Pepper: "You mean this football boot signed by the Italian national team? No, I don't want it, and Tony, you're so close, my ears are itching."
Tony: "..."
Tony took a look at the auction item, and sure enough, it was a football boot that looked a little old, with signatures written all over it.
——Obviously this is not an auction item that most women like.
But it doesn't matter, in the eyes of Pepper caring for mentally handicapped children, he sneaked another glance at Emanuel.
Are you angry?Are you angry?Flirting with other women in front of you, just ask if you are angry?
Emanuel: "..."
He turned his head back blankly, with indifference written all over his body.
Just when Emmanuel was so bored that he was about to turn on the game on the phone to play two games, the phone suddenly vibrated, and Arthur sent a message: "Brother, have you bought it yet?"
Emanuel replied: "It's not your turn yet, don't worry."
"I just asked about the estimated value. The necklace should be worth around $300 million." Arthur said, "You must buy it for me."
"What is your psychological price?" Emmanuel asked.
"There is no upper limit." Arthur said, "Just add more. The last thing I need is money."
Emmanuel couldn't laugh or cry, and spent a lot of money to smile for Bo's wife, probably Arthur.
He was about to reply, when suddenly the host of the auction raised his voice and said: "The next auction item is very special, I believe everyone has heard of it before coming to this auction, yes, this is the item that appeared The sapphire necklace at the Italian Vicenza Jewelry Fair in [-]-"Falling Light"! "
The entire auction hall suddenly fell silent, as if everyone held their breath, and looked at the dazzling necklace on the stage under the light.
"Oh, my God." Tony took a look and looked away, "It blinds me, it's so pompous."
"I think so too." Pepper rarely agreed with Tony's statement.
"This necklace is just like its name. It is like a galaxy falling from the night sky to the earth. The star sapphire in the middle is produced in Myanmar. It is a nearly perfect hexagon with 12923 carats. Dark blue, translucent, with white light bands in it, like glowing stars, the whole gem has no flaws.
There are also 16 diamonds on the necklace surrounding the star sapphire, each diamond is carefully polished and cut, and each weighs 1 carat. "
The host introduced this extremely luxurious necklace, "This is the most valuable item in our charity auction. It was provided by Mr. Elton Gilman, who hopes to extradite this light that fell from the sky. Where light is needed, let us applaud Mr. Gilman's warm heart!"
An old man sitting in the front row stood up and gestured to the applauding crowd.
"The starting price of "Falling Light" is US$100 million, with each increase of not less than US$[-]. "The host quoted the price.
Soon, some people began to call out quotations one after another, and the initial price of 100 million US dollars quickly rose to 220 million US dollars.
Starting from 220 million US dollars, the rate of price increase gradually weakened, and after slowly increasing to 260 million US dollars, no one bid for a while. "260 million US dollars, anyone offer a higher price?"
"$260 million a time..."
Emanuel raised the bidding number in his hand: "270 million."
As soon as he said this, Tony cast his eyes immediately, his eyes were a little surprised, conveying the question "You actually like such an exaggerated necklace, what's wrong with your aesthetics?"
"It's Mr. Green. Mr. Green is indeed very generous! 270 million, is there a higher price?"
"270 million times..."
"270 million twice..."
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a very rare flawless star sapphire necklace, which is quite popular among ladies, and there are legends that it is a gem made from the tears of Cupid.
If you have a lady in mind, this necklace would make a great gift idea!If you miss this opportunity, there will be no next time. "
The words "Tears of Cupid" and "If you have a lady you like" were caught in Tony's heart at once. He seemed to suddenly understand that this guy who looked like a dog was not for himself at all. Bought it, he bought it for other women!
That's pretty cool!
This guy's wish must not be granted easily!
"300 million." Tony raised his sign without hesitation.
Pepper was surprised: "Tony?" Boss, when did your aesthetics regress like this?
"Oh, I bought it for you, Pepper." Tony said loudly on purpose so that Emmanuel could hear him.
Emanuel: "..."
Pepper: "But I don't really like..."
Tony lowered his voice: "No, you like it."
Pepper: "??"
Well, anyway, everything you buy is for charity, as long as he is happy.
He was suddenly raised by 30 yuan, and the auction venue became lively. Everyone wanted to see who was bidding with the chairman of the Green Group.
"Oh, it's Mr. Stark!" The host was also overjoyed, "Okay, the price of "Fallen Light" has reached 300 million US dollars, is there a higher bid? "
Emmanuel: "310 million."
Tony followed without hesitation: "400 million."
There was an uproar in the venue.
Emmanuel turned around and looked at him with question marks on his face.Tony still sat there idly, looking at his phone, at the auction table, at Pepper, but not at him.
"..." Emmanuel suddenly had a bad premonition, he lowered his head and sent a text message to Arthur: "There is a malicious bidder, are you sure you can buy the necklace at all costs?"
Arthur replied in seconds: "Of course!"
After two seconds, he replied again: "Who? Kill him, he has more money than us, doesn't he know that my brother is so poor that all he has left is money?"
Emanuel: "..."
Don't tell me, they really have more money than us.
But with Arthur's words, Emmanuel felt relieved. Anyway, he will not be the one who will lose his fortune, so he decisively raised his card and directly added 100 million: "500 million."
Tony snorted, took off his sunglasses, raised his chin, and decisively held up his sign, reporting a number that stunned Emmanuel on the spot: "1000 million."
Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to the two big men who sat at the end, and they were surprised from ear to ear.
1000 million?Just double it?are you crazy?This... Could it be that these two people are fighting each other?
May I ask if your money came from the wind? ?
Emanuel couldn't help but glanced at Tony: "Tony Stark."
"Why?" Tony said indifferently.
"What's wrong with you?" Emmanuel couldn't hold back, and asked this question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.
"I bought a necklace for my assistant, what's the problem?" Tony asked back, "Aren't you buying something like a necklace for a beautiful woman? Obviously, my assistant is worthy of this necklace, Worthy of the $1000 million."
Pepper's indifferent face: "Should I be happy?"
"Please, cooperate and show me some face." Tony lowered his voice and said to Pepper.
"..." Emanuel, who actually heard everything clearly, pretended not to hear, and silently raised the sign: "1200 million US dollars."
He wouldn't just double the price like Tony did.
"1500 million." Tony continued to increase the price without hesitation.
"Are you crazy? This necklace is not worth the price!" Emmanuel felt a little incredible.
"Maybe..." Tony shrugged, "Since you don't think it's worth the price, then you can give it to me."
Emmanuel held his forehead, feeling that he and Tony had no way to communicate.
This guy is definitely here to scare him!
With Tony's price increase, the entire auction house fell silent. The necklace owner in the front row, Mr. Gilman, even turned his head tremblingly, and looked at Stark with a look of God.
Tony put on the brown sunglasses again, and accepted the gazes of the crowd expressionlessly.
—Sorry, having money means being able to do whatever you want.
Emmanuel took a deep breath and held up the sign: "2000 million."
With this price increase, someone can even hear the sound of gasping for air.
A necklace with an estimated value of about 300 million yuan was suddenly raised to a high price of 2000 million yuan by two big bosses in a way as if they were angry.
Even some people with big brains began to wonder if there was something like a treasure map that could lead to hundreds of millions of treasures hidden in that necklace, which made the two big men compete wildly regardless of cost and price.
But 2000 million US dollars, whether it is for Emanuel or Tony, is just a small number.
The two gods are so unreasonable.
Tony continued to hold up the sign: "3000 million."
The people in the auction are numb. They just want to know whether this necklace can be sold for [-] million US dollars, which is thirty times its own value.
Judging from the level of leadership of these two big shots, this is entirely possible.
Emanuel almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, he couldn't help turning his head and glaring at Tony again, Tony still pretended not to see, even raised his legs and hummed a ditty.
Pepper, who was sitting next to him, looked at Emmanuel and shook his head helplessly, saying that he didn't know what the boss was doing wrong.
Emmanuel rubbed his temples with some headaches, so that he would definitely have no fun, and the two of them were indeed not short of money.
But once the amount rises to an incredible figure, God knows what the media present will think.
Tony Stark and Emmanuel Green were at odds, bidding each other maliciously in the auction house, suspected to be gossip news about a necklace that a certain woman liked——
These things can definitely be written by these reporters with green eyes.
If it really made headlines in this way, Emanuel could imagine with his toes what the faces of the guys on the board would be.
"$3000 million a time..."
"$3000 million twice..."
"$3000 million..."
"Alas..." Emmanuel looked at the text message "at all costs" sent by Arthur on the screen of his mobile phone, and held up the sign helplessly, "3500 million."
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Tony, who had been waiting for his quotation, didn't even hesitate, and directly raised the sign again: "4000 million."
"Oh! My God!" The host was so excited that he was incoherent, ""Fallen Light" has been auctioned for a high price of 4000 million US dollars!Even in the entire human history, there are rare gemstones above tens of millions of dollars! 4000 million, is there a higher bid! "
His eyes followed Emanuel as he spoke his last words.
Of course, everyone knows that if there is anyone present who will bid with Tony Stark, it can only be Emmanuel Green.
Emmanuel looked at Tony: "Tony, this necklace is very important to me."
"It's also very important to me." Tony said lightly.
"Fine, how about we make a deal." Emmanuel had an idea, and said, "You give me this necklace, how about I give you a gemstone worth the same value as this necklace?"
He turned his wrist slightly, and showed Tony the cufflinks: "I bought this amethyst cufflink in Dubai for more than 200 million dollars. It is unique in the world. There are two pieces in a set, which is rare. Flawless purple transparent gem. If you give me the "Falling Light", I will give you the cufflinks. "
After finishing speaking, Emanuel himself felt that he was too dedicated. He really paid a lot of money for not having to kneel down on the durian for his brother's wedding anniversary.
This is a direct delivery!
Tony turned his face to look at Emmanuel, his eyes fell on the clear purple gemstone.
That gemstone has hundreds of facets, reflecting bright and dark pure light under the light, like a shallow sea of violets, and the color is so gentle that you can smell the fragrance of flowers.
"$4000 million three times..." The host has already reported for the third time.
"4200 million." Emanuel hurriedly raised the sign, "How about it, Tony? The value of this cufflink is definitely not lower than that necklace, you can even change it into a necklace."
"Hmm..." Tony looked at Emmanuel, feeling that he couldn't move his eyes away.
This guy's appearance today is really good, he looks better than when he was at the reception, and it really depends on his clothes and his saddle.
As for the crystal-clear, pure and gorgeous purple sapphire cufflink, in Tony's opinion, it is not as attractive as the person who wears it.
"How?" Seeing that Tony just looked at him without speaking, Emanuel asked again.
"Well, it's not impossible." Tony also felt that this would be endless, so he nodded, "But there is an additional condition-you have to answer my question."
"Huh??" Emmanuel frowned, "Don't be too tight..."
"It's a very simple question." Tony leaned back on the seat, took off his brown sunglasses, and stared directly at Emmanuel's amber pupils with those big caramel-colored eyes, looking very serious, "Just tell me , who did you buy this necklace for?"
"$4200 million three times..."
"US$4210 million." Tony held up a sign, delaying time with US$[-].
"My brother..." Emmanuel replied.
"Huh?" Tony obviously didn't expect this answer, and there were question marks all over his head.
"Otherwise, what do you think?" Emmanuel said angrily, "My brother asked me to buy it for him and give it to his wife as a gift."
"Your brother—Maomao...ah bah, Arthur Green?" Tony asked as if confirming it.
"How do you know... Oh, well, pretend I didn't ask." Emanuel squeezed the center of his brows with a headache, "So have we settled?"
"Hmph..." Tony snorted lightly, but couldn't hold back his smile, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Okay, this necklace is yours."
Emanuel held up a sign: "$4220 million."
"$4220 million a time..."
"$4220 million twice..."
"$4220 million three times..."
"make a deal!"
In the end, under the baptism of everyone's amazed eyes, "Falling Light" was auctioned by Emmanuel Green, chairman of Green Group, at a high price of 4220 million US dollars, becoming the highest priced charity auction item in several years.
"Brother! Did you buy it?" It didn't take long before Arthur sent another message.
"Got it." Emmanuel replied.
"Great! Brother, I love you!" Arthur replied immediately excitedly, "How much is it?"
"$42200000," Emanuel replied.
After a long time, Arthur replied: "Brother, did you type an extra 0?"
"No, dear caterpillar," Emanuel replied.
It was as if there was no signal on Arthur's side, and it took a long time before he replied: "Brother, you didn't mean to mess with me, did you?"
Emanuel: "..."
Did you make a mistake!
In order to take a picture of this necklace, he even gave away a pair of cufflinks that he had cherished for a long time!Arthur, the caterpillar, even said he was messing with him? ?
Obviously, you Arthur Green and Tony Stark are the ones who teamed up to mess with me, I'm going to be autistic!
"This is too exaggerated, ten times higher than the estimate?" Arthur sent another message, "Is it because of malicious bidding?"
"Of course not, how could it be possible." Emanuel smiled helplessly, "There was no extra 0, but an extra 2 was added. In fact, it was only 420 million US dollars."
"That sounds about the same." Arthur breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't scare me casually, okay! My heart is very fragile!"
Emmanuel didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Stop talking nonsense and make money!"
"Okay, okay, it will be credited right away, brother (I like my brother the most)."
Arthur, who was in Kyoto and even started to speak Japanese as the Romans do, was very happy, and even sent a bunch of rose emoticons to Emmanuel.
Emanuel couldn't help laughing too.
Alas, who made him his younger brother?The extra 4000 million yuan should be regarded as a gift from himself to the couple. After all, it was caused by the personal grievances between himself and Tony, and he didn't want Arthur to pay for it.
Tony on the side looked at the smiling Emanuel, as if infected by that smile, couldn't help but also smiled along with him.
"Hey..." he said, "don't forget the cufflinks."
Emmanuel looked at him and shrugged: "Remember, I will pack it in a box and send it to you at the company later."
Tony blinked: "No, I want it now."
While talking, Tony stretched his arms, exposing the cuffs, waiting for Emmanuel to put the cufflinks on him, and said: "You can take my cufflinks away, or you can get the cufflinks on your sleeves." Without cufflinks, it won't look good when the reporter takes pictures later, and I don't want to wear two cufflinks, it's too heavy.
By the way, my cufflinks are Hermès sterling silver limited edition, which are no longer available in the market. "
Emanuel: "..."
Why are you in such a hurry? !Are you fucking meowing because you are worried that I will go back on my word!
Emmanuel still compromised.
He found that he was really helpless with Tony Stark, probably facing a brat who refused to listen no matter what he said, but was reluctant to teach him a lesson.
For a small public like Tony Stark, he seems to have nothing to do but pamper him.
So he sighed softly, stretched out his hand to untie his cufflinks, and put them on the table.
The color of purple gemstones is clear and clean, as if condensed into a piece of purple sky and lakes. People can't help but marvel at the magic of nature, which can condense such beautiful scenery into small gemstones and be carved and decorated by people.
"Avoid storing them together after you bring them back, or they may rub against each other and cause scratches."
After helping Tony take off his own sterling silver cufflinks, Emanuel picked up one of them, and carefully helped Tony put it on, "Tomorrow I will send someone to deliver the storage box to your company, pay attention to maintenance. "
Tony didn't pay attention to this gemstone at all, and of course he didn't listen to Emmanuel's words at all. He just looked at the hands that had burned will-o'-the-wisps on the black and white keys.
Those hands are much more beautiful than gems.
"Tony?" Emmanuel looked up at Tony, "Are you listening to me?"
"I'm listening..." Tony answered without thinking.
Emmanuel gave him a suspicious look, said nothing, and helped him put on the other cufflink: "Put it on."
Tony didn't say anything, he reached out and picked up the two Hermès sterling silver cufflinks on the table, and said to Emmanuel, "Come on, let me put the cufflinks on for you."
Emmanuel nodded and held out his hand.
1 minute later.
"Haven't you put it on yet?" Emmanuel looked at Tony, who was still fiddling with his cuff, very confused.
"..." Tony was at a loss for words for a moment. He looked at the wrinkled cuffs that had been slapped by himself, and fell into deep thought.
What's with this broken suit!Why is it so troublesome to wear cufflinks!
Tony, who usually puts on the cufflinks with the help of little clumsy hands or Pepper, has a big head at the moment. He found that the seam of the cuff buttons of Emanuel's suit is different from his. He couldn't study it for a long time. It is very embarrassing how to put the cufflinks in.
"Well...or should I do it myself?" Emmanuel saw the problem. His clothes were specially customized. At that time, in order to improve the overall style and effect, they were different from American suits in many places.
"No, I'll be fine soon." Tony was very stubborn. He couldn't believe that with his ingenuity, he would be stumped by a mere cuff button!
"You pretended to be reversed..." Emmanuel said.
"..." Tony was silent for a while, adjusted quickly, and suddenly broke through the sky proudly: "Okay, look, how is it?"
"……"not so good.Emanuel wanted to tell the truth, but didn't want to hit the guy who seemed so happy.
He simply ignored him, turned around on his own, and returned his attention to the auction.
"My pair of cufflinks are no longer available, so you have to take good care of them." Tony said, "Of course I will take good care of you, too."
It's like keeping a token of love.
"Hmm..." Emmanuel nodded, looking a little perfunctory.
"I'm serious." Tony was a little dissatisfied when he saw Emmanuel's perfunctory attitude.
"..." Emmanuel didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, okay, I'm serious too."
Only then did Tony nodded in satisfaction, and put on the brown sunglasses again.
The auction will continue.
However, the subsequent auction items were not as exciting as "Fallen Light". They were basically relatively invaluable things, and none of the auction items was worth more than 100 million US dollars.
Tony also bid a symbolic price of 50 US dollars for an oil painting by a famous artist. According to his personal statement, he is still a collector who likes fine arts.
——If he hadn't mispronounced the painter's name, the credibility of this matter would be higher.
Of course, the news that Emanuel photographed "Falling Light" with an astronomical figure of 4000 quickly spread among reporters.
When Emmanuel and Tony walked out of the auction one after the other, they were overwhelmed by the blinding light from the flashlights at the door.
"Mr. Green, I heard that you bought a piece of jewelry at a high price of more than 4000 million in this charity auction. Is this true?"
Emmanuel nodded: "Yes..."
"Mr. Green, it is said that the estimated value of the jewelry is only about 300 million US dollars. Can you talk about why you are willing to pay ten times the price to buy it? Does it have any special meaning to you?"
Emanuel smiled and said: "Like itself is priceless."
"The high price of 4000 million U.S. dollars is due to the bidding between you and Mr. Stark. Can you guess that there is a certain contradiction between you that will produce such an unreasonable result?"
This made Tony unhappy. He walked out from behind Emmanuel, and immediately attracted another burst of shots from the reporters.
"Of course it's not that we have conflicts. It's the opposite. We're best friends. Right, Iman?"
He deliberately re-read the words "best friend" and tried to put his other hand on Emmanuel's shoulder, and then he suddenly realized that because of the height difference, it would make him look very stupid.
So he changed course halfway, and naturally wrapped his arms around Iman's waist. Then, with a smile on his face, he made a scissors hand to the cameras of the reporters, posing for them to take pictures.
Emanuel: "..."
Good, itchy!
Tony's hand was just on the itchy flesh of his waist, and the indistinct touch was driving him crazy.
But it's hard to avoid in front of so many people, so I can only force myself to laugh out loud or avoid the physical instinct of that hand, and look at the camera with a smile on my face: "Yes, we are friends, this time The bidding at the auction is just because we both happen to like that gem.”
Then he lowered his voice, kept his mouth still, and said to Tony, "Let go! Let go!"
Tony: "??"
You... why are you reacting so badly!
It’s just taking pictures with a concave waist shape, not eating your tofu!
"Hurry up! I'm so itchy!" Seeing Tony's puzzled eyes, Emanuel had to explain.
Tony: "..."
This guy Emmanuel is ticklish? ?
Tony almost laughed out loud, but because of the long guns and short guns in front of him, he could only cough dryly to hide his smile, and then took his hands back from Emanuel's waist.
As soon as the two announced their relationship, there was another commotion among the reporters, and someone stood up and asked, "Is this implying that Stark Industries and the Green Group will soon have an important cooperation?"
Tony: "No, you think too much, it's just because we have a good relationship."
Pepper, who was standing not far behind them, was also puzzled. Tony has always been a person who doesn't like this kind of occasion. This kind of boring interview session has always been pushed as soon as he can, and simply ignored if he can't be pushed. This time he took the initiative to answer the reporter. boring question?
The sun really came out from the west.
The reporters were about to ask some questions, but Tony lost his patience. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's go, we have to go."
Emanuel also nodded politely at the reporters, and followed Tony to the side.
The bodyguards opened the way ahead, but the reporters followed behind them unwillingly, desperately trying to pass the microphone in front of them.
"Mr. Stark..."
"Mr Green……"
"Excuse me balabala..."
However, these questions were all blocked behind them by the security guards, and Emmanuel and Tony were able to leave the scene where the reporters gathered without hindrance.
the other side……
Soundwave, parked quietly in the outdoor parking lot, suddenly received a signal from the laser bird.
"Sonic, do you still remember the human being you asked me to monitor and investigate? What's his name, Stan." The holographic projection of the laser bird appeared in the car.
"Well, what happened to him?" Soundwave asked.
"It took me a while to get into his office and replace his printer. Don't you know how troublesome it is to get him to change to a new printer? Are Stark Industries' printers so durable? It took me a lot of money. It took a lot of strength to short-circuit that rubbish thing..."
"Get to the point..." The sound wave decisively interrupted the chattering laser bird.
"Okay..." Laser Bird flapped its wings in dissatisfaction, "He hired a team of assassins to assassinate Emmanuel Green."
"When?" Soundwave asked.
"Just tonight..." Laser Bird said.
Sonic's headlights suddenly turned on at this moment, and without any hesitation, he immediately left the parking space and drove out extremely sensitively.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" He asked the laser bird with some displeasure while driving at an extremely fast speed.
"Because I don't know when they will do it! It took me a while to hack the internal communication of the killer team, and now I know their plan, they seem to be divided into two teams, one team is responsible for the direct assassination.
If the assassination fails, the other team will be responsible for the aftermath, make-up and response.I have also learned the location of the pick-up. "
The laser bird heard the unhappiness of the sound wave, and quickly made up for it, "You won't
Of course, the large-scale charity auction held tonight sent the invitation letter to Emanuel immediately.
After all, he was going to appear in a formal public occasion. Emanuel specially chose a black custom-made suit. The vicuna wool fabric made this suit feel like satin, light, breathable and simple, and made his slender and well-proportioned Groomed to be taller.
Even if he just stood motionless, he could naturally present the pampered nobility and just right arrogance to everyone.
"It's perfect." Butler Smith stood aside, watched Emmanuel tie the Windsor knot with the purple tie, and handed him a small black box, "Maybe it should match this set of cufflinks."
Emanuel opened the small box, and inside was a pair of cufflinks inlaid with purple transparent gemstones. The gemstones were wrapped around patterns forged in sterling silver. The style was not complicated, but it looked low-key and calm.
"I bought it at the exhibition in Dubai last time, and I haven't brought it once." Butler Smith said with some regret.
Emmanuel nodded: "Then take it with you tonight."
"I'll help you." Butler Smith put on his gloves, carefully took out the cufflinks, and fixed them on the cuffs.
"What time is it?" Emanuel asked while asking Butler Smith to help him put on the cuff buttons.
Butler Smith flicked Emmanuel's sleeve, and glanced at the time on his Patek Philippe watch: "06:30, there is still half an hour, master, do you need to take a look at the guest list?"
"No, it's getting late, it's time to go," Emmanuel said.
"Then I'll drive to the gate of the manor and see you off."
"sorry to bother you."
The moment he stepped off the silver-gray Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Emanuel was almost blinded by the flashing lights.
This kind of charity gala is not good. In a completely public place, there will always be a lot of reporters and gossiping people.
However, the security guards can be regarded as conscientious, keeping all these fanatical interviewers out of the isolation line.
Emmanuel nodded gracefully to the reporters, stared directly at their flashlights, and walked steadily into the auction room, then closed his eyes and pinched the space between his brows.
It was too harsh.
After the guests registered, Emanuel took over his bidding number plate, and quickly came to the venue under the guidance of the staff.
He came relatively late, and most of the seats were already occupied. Along the way, he saw many familiar faces in the business field, busy shaking hands and saying hello all the way.
Since there were not many vacant seats, Emanuel sat down casually in the last row, waiting for the auction to start while looking at the recent stock market situation.
Soon, the auction began, and at the same time, Emmanuel noticed that someone sat down not far from him.
He subconsciously looked up——
Tony Stark and his assistant Pepper Potts.
Obviously, the two of them also came late, so they could only sit in the last row.
Emanuel: "..."
——Why is it always you?
The two looked at each other, and suddenly, an awkward atmosphere filled the air.
Pepper greeted Emmanuel very politely, but Tony pretended not to see it, and quickly turned his head, his eyes wearing brown sunglasses looked at the position of the auction table motionlessly, and it seemed that Emmanuel could still hear He let out a disdainful "hum" from his nasal cavity.
Emanuel: "..."
Are you still arguing?Why is this person so childish?
Emmanuel decided to leave him alone, lest he be infected.
The auction started soon, and the first few auction items were just some appetizers, the value was not very high, and Emmanuel had no interest.
He felt a little bored, so he began to secretly pay attention to Tony's movements.
Tony also felt bored. As a philanthropist, he donated countless dollars in his name every year, so he always had an attitude of not loving this kind of charity auction.
He didn't plan to participate in this auction, and planned to let Xiaojiao take his place. If he saw something he liked, he would let her take a picture of it.
Unexpectedly, he accidentally saw Emmanuel's name on the guest list.
Is this okay?
So he immediately regained his energy and called back Pepper, who had already walked halfway, and then the two of them drove to the auction venue together.
—Yes, that's why they were late.In this regard, Pepper said that he is increasingly unable to understand the brain circuit of his boss.
At this moment, he felt bored, so he quietly glanced at Emmanuel who was sitting not far away, and unexpectedly found that the other party was also looking at him.
Tony immediately lifted his spirits and entered a fighting state.
With an idea, he thought about it, and suddenly pulled Pepper close to her ear and said, "Little Pepper, do you like this auction item? I can take a picture of it for you."
Pepper: "You mean this football boot signed by the Italian national team? No, I don't want it, and Tony, you're so close, my ears are itching."
Tony: "..."
Tony took a look at the auction item, and sure enough, it was a football boot that looked a little old, with signatures written all over it.
——Obviously this is not an auction item that most women like.
But it doesn't matter, in the eyes of Pepper caring for mentally handicapped children, he sneaked another glance at Emanuel.
Are you angry?Are you angry?Flirting with other women in front of you, just ask if you are angry?
Emanuel: "..."
He turned his head back blankly, with indifference written all over his body.
Just when Emmanuel was so bored that he was about to turn on the game on the phone to play two games, the phone suddenly vibrated, and Arthur sent a message: "Brother, have you bought it yet?"
Emanuel replied: "It's not your turn yet, don't worry."
"I just asked about the estimated value. The necklace should be worth around $300 million." Arthur said, "You must buy it for me."
"What is your psychological price?" Emmanuel asked.
"There is no upper limit." Arthur said, "Just add more. The last thing I need is money."
Emmanuel couldn't laugh or cry, and spent a lot of money to smile for Bo's wife, probably Arthur.
He was about to reply, when suddenly the host of the auction raised his voice and said: "The next auction item is very special, I believe everyone has heard of it before coming to this auction, yes, this is the item that appeared The sapphire necklace at the Italian Vicenza Jewelry Fair in [-]-"Falling Light"! "
The entire auction hall suddenly fell silent, as if everyone held their breath, and looked at the dazzling necklace on the stage under the light.
"Oh, my God." Tony took a look and looked away, "It blinds me, it's so pompous."
"I think so too." Pepper rarely agreed with Tony's statement.
"This necklace is just like its name. It is like a galaxy falling from the night sky to the earth. The star sapphire in the middle is produced in Myanmar. It is a nearly perfect hexagon with 12923 carats. Dark blue, translucent, with white light bands in it, like glowing stars, the whole gem has no flaws.
There are also 16 diamonds on the necklace surrounding the star sapphire, each diamond is carefully polished and cut, and each weighs 1 carat. "
The host introduced this extremely luxurious necklace, "This is the most valuable item in our charity auction. It was provided by Mr. Elton Gilman, who hopes to extradite this light that fell from the sky. Where light is needed, let us applaud Mr. Gilman's warm heart!"
An old man sitting in the front row stood up and gestured to the applauding crowd.
"The starting price of "Falling Light" is US$100 million, with each increase of not less than US$[-]. "The host quoted the price.
Soon, some people began to call out quotations one after another, and the initial price of 100 million US dollars quickly rose to 220 million US dollars.
Starting from 220 million US dollars, the rate of price increase gradually weakened, and after slowly increasing to 260 million US dollars, no one bid for a while. "260 million US dollars, anyone offer a higher price?"
"$260 million a time..."
Emanuel raised the bidding number in his hand: "270 million."
As soon as he said this, Tony cast his eyes immediately, his eyes were a little surprised, conveying the question "You actually like such an exaggerated necklace, what's wrong with your aesthetics?"
"It's Mr. Green. Mr. Green is indeed very generous! 270 million, is there a higher price?"
"270 million times..."
"270 million twice..."
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a very rare flawless star sapphire necklace, which is quite popular among ladies, and there are legends that it is a gem made from the tears of Cupid.
If you have a lady in mind, this necklace would make a great gift idea!If you miss this opportunity, there will be no next time. "
The words "Tears of Cupid" and "If you have a lady you like" were caught in Tony's heart at once. He seemed to suddenly understand that this guy who looked like a dog was not for himself at all. Bought it, he bought it for other women!
That's pretty cool!
This guy's wish must not be granted easily!
"300 million." Tony raised his sign without hesitation.
Pepper was surprised: "Tony?" Boss, when did your aesthetics regress like this?
"Oh, I bought it for you, Pepper." Tony said loudly on purpose so that Emmanuel could hear him.
Emanuel: "..."
Pepper: "But I don't really like..."
Tony lowered his voice: "No, you like it."
Pepper: "??"
Well, anyway, everything you buy is for charity, as long as he is happy.
He was suddenly raised by 30 yuan, and the auction venue became lively. Everyone wanted to see who was bidding with the chairman of the Green Group.
"Oh, it's Mr. Stark!" The host was also overjoyed, "Okay, the price of "Fallen Light" has reached 300 million US dollars, is there a higher bid? "
Emmanuel: "310 million."
Tony followed without hesitation: "400 million."
There was an uproar in the venue.
Emmanuel turned around and looked at him with question marks on his face.Tony still sat there idly, looking at his phone, at the auction table, at Pepper, but not at him.
"..." Emmanuel suddenly had a bad premonition, he lowered his head and sent a text message to Arthur: "There is a malicious bidder, are you sure you can buy the necklace at all costs?"
Arthur replied in seconds: "Of course!"
After two seconds, he replied again: "Who? Kill him, he has more money than us, doesn't he know that my brother is so poor that all he has left is money?"
Emanuel: "..."
Don't tell me, they really have more money than us.
But with Arthur's words, Emmanuel felt relieved. Anyway, he will not be the one who will lose his fortune, so he decisively raised his card and directly added 100 million: "500 million."
Tony snorted, took off his sunglasses, raised his chin, and decisively held up his sign, reporting a number that stunned Emmanuel on the spot: "1000 million."
Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to the two big men who sat at the end, and they were surprised from ear to ear.
1000 million?Just double it?are you crazy?This... Could it be that these two people are fighting each other?
May I ask if your money came from the wind? ?
Emanuel couldn't help but glanced at Tony: "Tony Stark."
"Why?" Tony said indifferently.
"What's wrong with you?" Emmanuel couldn't hold back, and asked this question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time.
"I bought a necklace for my assistant, what's the problem?" Tony asked back, "Aren't you buying something like a necklace for a beautiful woman? Obviously, my assistant is worthy of this necklace, Worthy of the $1000 million."
Pepper's indifferent face: "Should I be happy?"
"Please, cooperate and show me some face." Tony lowered his voice and said to Pepper.
"..." Emanuel, who actually heard everything clearly, pretended not to hear, and silently raised the sign: "1200 million US dollars."
He wouldn't just double the price like Tony did.
"1500 million." Tony continued to increase the price without hesitation.
"Are you crazy? This necklace is not worth the price!" Emmanuel felt a little incredible.
"Maybe..." Tony shrugged, "Since you don't think it's worth the price, then you can give it to me."
Emmanuel held his forehead, feeling that he and Tony had no way to communicate.
This guy is definitely here to scare him!
With Tony's price increase, the entire auction house fell silent. The necklace owner in the front row, Mr. Gilman, even turned his head tremblingly, and looked at Stark with a look of God.
Tony put on the brown sunglasses again, and accepted the gazes of the crowd expressionlessly.
—Sorry, having money means being able to do whatever you want.
Emmanuel took a deep breath and held up the sign: "2000 million."
With this price increase, someone can even hear the sound of gasping for air.
A necklace with an estimated value of about 300 million yuan was suddenly raised to a high price of 2000 million yuan by two big bosses in a way as if they were angry.
Even some people with big brains began to wonder if there was something like a treasure map that could lead to hundreds of millions of treasures hidden in that necklace, which made the two big men compete wildly regardless of cost and price.
But 2000 million US dollars, whether it is for Emanuel or Tony, is just a small number.
The two gods are so unreasonable.
Tony continued to hold up the sign: "3000 million."
The people in the auction are numb. They just want to know whether this necklace can be sold for [-] million US dollars, which is thirty times its own value.
Judging from the level of leadership of these two big shots, this is entirely possible.
Emanuel almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood, he couldn't help turning his head and glaring at Tony again, Tony still pretended not to see, even raised his legs and hummed a ditty.
Pepper, who was sitting next to him, looked at Emmanuel and shook his head helplessly, saying that he didn't know what the boss was doing wrong.
Emmanuel rubbed his temples with some headaches, so that he would definitely have no fun, and the two of them were indeed not short of money.
But once the amount rises to an incredible figure, God knows what the media present will think.
Tony Stark and Emmanuel Green were at odds, bidding each other maliciously in the auction house, suspected to be gossip news about a necklace that a certain woman liked——
These things can definitely be written by these reporters with green eyes.
If it really made headlines in this way, Emanuel could imagine with his toes what the faces of the guys on the board would be.
"$3000 million a time..."
"$3000 million twice..."
"$3000 million..."
"Alas..." Emmanuel looked at the text message "at all costs" sent by Arthur on the screen of his mobile phone, and held up the sign helplessly, "3500 million."
As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Tony, who had been waiting for his quotation, didn't even hesitate, and directly raised the sign again: "4000 million."
"Oh! My God!" The host was so excited that he was incoherent, ""Fallen Light" has been auctioned for a high price of 4000 million US dollars!Even in the entire human history, there are rare gemstones above tens of millions of dollars! 4000 million, is there a higher bid! "
His eyes followed Emanuel as he spoke his last words.
Of course, everyone knows that if there is anyone present who will bid with Tony Stark, it can only be Emmanuel Green.
Emmanuel looked at Tony: "Tony, this necklace is very important to me."
"It's also very important to me." Tony said lightly.
"Fine, how about we make a deal." Emmanuel had an idea, and said, "You give me this necklace, how about I give you a gemstone worth the same value as this necklace?"
He turned his wrist slightly, and showed Tony the cufflinks: "I bought this amethyst cufflink in Dubai for more than 200 million dollars. It is unique in the world. There are two pieces in a set, which is rare. Flawless purple transparent gem. If you give me the "Falling Light", I will give you the cufflinks. "
After finishing speaking, Emanuel himself felt that he was too dedicated. He really paid a lot of money for not having to kneel down on the durian for his brother's wedding anniversary.
This is a direct delivery!
Tony turned his face to look at Emmanuel, his eyes fell on the clear purple gemstone.
That gemstone has hundreds of facets, reflecting bright and dark pure light under the light, like a shallow sea of violets, and the color is so gentle that you can smell the fragrance of flowers.
"$4000 million three times..." The host has already reported for the third time.
"4200 million." Emanuel hurriedly raised the sign, "How about it, Tony? The value of this cufflink is definitely not lower than that necklace, you can even change it into a necklace."
"Hmm..." Tony looked at Emmanuel, feeling that he couldn't move his eyes away.
This guy's appearance today is really good, he looks better than when he was at the reception, and it really depends on his clothes and his saddle.
As for the crystal-clear, pure and gorgeous purple sapphire cufflink, in Tony's opinion, it is not as attractive as the person who wears it.
"How?" Seeing that Tony just looked at him without speaking, Emanuel asked again.
"Well, it's not impossible." Tony also felt that this would be endless, so he nodded, "But there is an additional condition-you have to answer my question."
"Huh??" Emmanuel frowned, "Don't be too tight..."
"It's a very simple question." Tony leaned back on the seat, took off his brown sunglasses, and stared directly at Emmanuel's amber pupils with those big caramel-colored eyes, looking very serious, "Just tell me , who did you buy this necklace for?"
"$4200 million three times..."
"US$4210 million." Tony held up a sign, delaying time with US$[-].
"My brother..." Emmanuel replied.
"Huh?" Tony obviously didn't expect this answer, and there were question marks all over his head.
"Otherwise, what do you think?" Emmanuel said angrily, "My brother asked me to buy it for him and give it to his wife as a gift."
"Your brother—Maomao...ah bah, Arthur Green?" Tony asked as if confirming it.
"How do you know... Oh, well, pretend I didn't ask." Emanuel squeezed the center of his brows with a headache, "So have we settled?"
"Hmph..." Tony snorted lightly, but couldn't hold back his smile, the corners of his mouth curled up, "Okay, this necklace is yours."
Emanuel held up a sign: "$4220 million."
"$4220 million a time..."
"$4220 million twice..."
"$4220 million three times..."
"make a deal!"
In the end, under the baptism of everyone's amazed eyes, "Falling Light" was auctioned by Emmanuel Green, chairman of Green Group, at a high price of 4220 million US dollars, becoming the highest priced charity auction item in several years.
"Brother! Did you buy it?" It didn't take long before Arthur sent another message.
"Got it." Emmanuel replied.
"Great! Brother, I love you!" Arthur replied immediately excitedly, "How much is it?"
"$42200000," Emanuel replied.
After a long time, Arthur replied: "Brother, did you type an extra 0?"
"No, dear caterpillar," Emanuel replied.
It was as if there was no signal on Arthur's side, and it took a long time before he replied: "Brother, you didn't mean to mess with me, did you?"
Emanuel: "..."
Did you make a mistake!
In order to take a picture of this necklace, he even gave away a pair of cufflinks that he had cherished for a long time!Arthur, the caterpillar, even said he was messing with him? ?
Obviously, you Arthur Green and Tony Stark are the ones who teamed up to mess with me, I'm going to be autistic!
"This is too exaggerated, ten times higher than the estimate?" Arthur sent another message, "Is it because of malicious bidding?"
"Of course not, how could it be possible." Emanuel smiled helplessly, "There was no extra 0, but an extra 2 was added. In fact, it was only 420 million US dollars."
"That sounds about the same." Arthur breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't scare me casually, okay! My heart is very fragile!"
Emmanuel didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Stop talking nonsense and make money!"
"Okay, okay, it will be credited right away, brother (I like my brother the most)."
Arthur, who was in Kyoto and even started to speak Japanese as the Romans do, was very happy, and even sent a bunch of rose emoticons to Emmanuel.
Emanuel couldn't help laughing too.
Alas, who made him his younger brother?The extra 4000 million yuan should be regarded as a gift from himself to the couple. After all, it was caused by the personal grievances between himself and Tony, and he didn't want Arthur to pay for it.
Tony on the side looked at the smiling Emanuel, as if infected by that smile, couldn't help but also smiled along with him.
"Hey..." he said, "don't forget the cufflinks."
Emmanuel looked at him and shrugged: "Remember, I will pack it in a box and send it to you at the company later."
Tony blinked: "No, I want it now."
While talking, Tony stretched his arms, exposing the cuffs, waiting for Emmanuel to put the cufflinks on him, and said: "You can take my cufflinks away, or you can get the cufflinks on your sleeves." Without cufflinks, it won't look good when the reporter takes pictures later, and I don't want to wear two cufflinks, it's too heavy.
By the way, my cufflinks are Hermès sterling silver limited edition, which are no longer available in the market. "
Emanuel: "..."
Why are you in such a hurry? !Are you fucking meowing because you are worried that I will go back on my word!
Emmanuel still compromised.
He found that he was really helpless with Tony Stark, probably facing a brat who refused to listen no matter what he said, but was reluctant to teach him a lesson.
For a small public like Tony Stark, he seems to have nothing to do but pamper him.
So he sighed softly, stretched out his hand to untie his cufflinks, and put them on the table.
The color of purple gemstones is clear and clean, as if condensed into a piece of purple sky and lakes. People can't help but marvel at the magic of nature, which can condense such beautiful scenery into small gemstones and be carved and decorated by people.
"Avoid storing them together after you bring them back, or they may rub against each other and cause scratches."
After helping Tony take off his own sterling silver cufflinks, Emanuel picked up one of them, and carefully helped Tony put it on, "Tomorrow I will send someone to deliver the storage box to your company, pay attention to maintenance. "
Tony didn't pay attention to this gemstone at all, and of course he didn't listen to Emmanuel's words at all. He just looked at the hands that had burned will-o'-the-wisps on the black and white keys.
Those hands are much more beautiful than gems.
"Tony?" Emmanuel looked up at Tony, "Are you listening to me?"
"I'm listening..." Tony answered without thinking.
Emmanuel gave him a suspicious look, said nothing, and helped him put on the other cufflink: "Put it on."
Tony didn't say anything, he reached out and picked up the two Hermès sterling silver cufflinks on the table, and said to Emmanuel, "Come on, let me put the cufflinks on for you."
Emmanuel nodded and held out his hand.
1 minute later.
"Haven't you put it on yet?" Emmanuel looked at Tony, who was still fiddling with his cuff, very confused.
"..." Tony was at a loss for words for a moment. He looked at the wrinkled cuffs that had been slapped by himself, and fell into deep thought.
What's with this broken suit!Why is it so troublesome to wear cufflinks!
Tony, who usually puts on the cufflinks with the help of little clumsy hands or Pepper, has a big head at the moment. He found that the seam of the cuff buttons of Emanuel's suit is different from his. He couldn't study it for a long time. It is very embarrassing how to put the cufflinks in.
"Well...or should I do it myself?" Emmanuel saw the problem. His clothes were specially customized. At that time, in order to improve the overall style and effect, they were different from American suits in many places.
"No, I'll be fine soon." Tony was very stubborn. He couldn't believe that with his ingenuity, he would be stumped by a mere cuff button!
"You pretended to be reversed..." Emmanuel said.
"..." Tony was silent for a while, adjusted quickly, and suddenly broke through the sky proudly: "Okay, look, how is it?"
"……"not so good.Emanuel wanted to tell the truth, but didn't want to hit the guy who seemed so happy.
He simply ignored him, turned around on his own, and returned his attention to the auction.
"My pair of cufflinks are no longer available, so you have to take good care of them." Tony said, "Of course I will take good care of you, too."
It's like keeping a token of love.
"Hmm..." Emmanuel nodded, looking a little perfunctory.
"I'm serious." Tony was a little dissatisfied when he saw Emmanuel's perfunctory attitude.
"..." Emmanuel didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay, okay, I'm serious too."
Only then did Tony nodded in satisfaction, and put on the brown sunglasses again.
The auction will continue.
However, the subsequent auction items were not as exciting as "Fallen Light". They were basically relatively invaluable things, and none of the auction items was worth more than 100 million US dollars.
Tony also bid a symbolic price of 50 US dollars for an oil painting by a famous artist. According to his personal statement, he is still a collector who likes fine arts.
——If he hadn't mispronounced the painter's name, the credibility of this matter would be higher.
Of course, the news that Emanuel photographed "Falling Light" with an astronomical figure of 4000 quickly spread among reporters.
When Emmanuel and Tony walked out of the auction one after the other, they were overwhelmed by the blinding light from the flashlights at the door.
"Mr. Green, I heard that you bought a piece of jewelry at a high price of more than 4000 million in this charity auction. Is this true?"
Emmanuel nodded: "Yes..."
"Mr. Green, it is said that the estimated value of the jewelry is only about 300 million US dollars. Can you talk about why you are willing to pay ten times the price to buy it? Does it have any special meaning to you?"
Emanuel smiled and said: "Like itself is priceless."
"The high price of 4000 million U.S. dollars is due to the bidding between you and Mr. Stark. Can you guess that there is a certain contradiction between you that will produce such an unreasonable result?"
This made Tony unhappy. He walked out from behind Emmanuel, and immediately attracted another burst of shots from the reporters.
"Of course it's not that we have conflicts. It's the opposite. We're best friends. Right, Iman?"
He deliberately re-read the words "best friend" and tried to put his other hand on Emmanuel's shoulder, and then he suddenly realized that because of the height difference, it would make him look very stupid.
So he changed course halfway, and naturally wrapped his arms around Iman's waist. Then, with a smile on his face, he made a scissors hand to the cameras of the reporters, posing for them to take pictures.
Emanuel: "..."
Good, itchy!
Tony's hand was just on the itchy flesh of his waist, and the indistinct touch was driving him crazy.
But it's hard to avoid in front of so many people, so I can only force myself to laugh out loud or avoid the physical instinct of that hand, and look at the camera with a smile on my face: "Yes, we are friends, this time The bidding at the auction is just because we both happen to like that gem.”
Then he lowered his voice, kept his mouth still, and said to Tony, "Let go! Let go!"
Tony: "??"
You... why are you reacting so badly!
It’s just taking pictures with a concave waist shape, not eating your tofu!
"Hurry up! I'm so itchy!" Seeing Tony's puzzled eyes, Emanuel had to explain.
Tony: "..."
This guy Emmanuel is ticklish? ?
Tony almost laughed out loud, but because of the long guns and short guns in front of him, he could only cough dryly to hide his smile, and then took his hands back from Emanuel's waist.
As soon as the two announced their relationship, there was another commotion among the reporters, and someone stood up and asked, "Is this implying that Stark Industries and the Green Group will soon have an important cooperation?"
Tony: "No, you think too much, it's just because we have a good relationship."
Pepper, who was standing not far behind them, was also puzzled. Tony has always been a person who doesn't like this kind of occasion. This kind of boring interview session has always been pushed as soon as he can, and simply ignored if he can't be pushed. This time he took the initiative to answer the reporter. boring question?
The sun really came out from the west.
The reporters were about to ask some questions, but Tony lost his patience. He waved his hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's go, we have to go."
Emanuel also nodded politely at the reporters, and followed Tony to the side.
The bodyguards opened the way ahead, but the reporters followed behind them unwillingly, desperately trying to pass the microphone in front of them.
"Mr. Stark..."
"Mr Green……"
"Excuse me balabala..."
However, these questions were all blocked behind them by the security guards, and Emmanuel and Tony were able to leave the scene where the reporters gathered without hindrance.
the other side……
Soundwave, parked quietly in the outdoor parking lot, suddenly received a signal from the laser bird.
"Sonic, do you still remember the human being you asked me to monitor and investigate? What's his name, Stan." The holographic projection of the laser bird appeared in the car.
"Well, what happened to him?" Soundwave asked.
"It took me a while to get into his office and replace his printer. Don't you know how troublesome it is to get him to change to a new printer? Are Stark Industries' printers so durable? It took me a lot of money. It took a lot of strength to short-circuit that rubbish thing..."
"Get to the point..." The sound wave decisively interrupted the chattering laser bird.
"Okay..." Laser Bird flapped its wings in dissatisfaction, "He hired a team of assassins to assassinate Emmanuel Green."
"When?" Soundwave asked.
"Just tonight..." Laser Bird said.
Sonic's headlights suddenly turned on at this moment, and without any hesitation, he immediately left the parking space and drove out extremely sensitively.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" He asked the laser bird with some displeasure while driving at an extremely fast speed.
"Because I don't know when they will do it! It took me a while to hack the internal communication of the killer team, and now I know their plan, they seem to be divided into two teams, one team is responsible for the direct assassination.
If the assassination fails, the other team will be responsible for the aftermath, make-up and response.I have also learned the location of the pick-up. "
The laser bird heard the unhappiness of the sound wave, and quickly made up for it, "You won't
