Chapter 102: Mrs. Gao
"Now the conflict between mutants and ordinary people has become more serious. Is this also a problem for us? Aren't mutants just ordinary humans who awaken their abilities and become mutants? Can you say that mutants Are humans not a type of human being? And aren't it the major laboratories and governments that are exacerbating these conflicts? If mutants go to war with the government, will ordinary humans suffer? So it's just a shame for you to put these responsibilities on us. A method that worked when you were the director." Karl said after looking at George again..
"Okay, okay, we are here to eat today, so don't talk about these things. " Helen Stacy saw that the atmosphere was a bit tense and quickly warmed up and asked Karl to eat, and patted her husband's thigh under the table to signal to him that enough was enough and not to cause any more unpleasantness..
"By the way, is Gwen now a senior in high school or college? "When Carl saw this, he no longer said anything to George. Instead, he changed the subject after taking a bite. What's more, even if the superpower's fault has nothing to do with him, as long as no one messes with him, everything has nothing to do with him. relation.
"Gwen is currently in her senior year of high school, but she has already finished her studies and is already preparing for exams. She will go to college in a while and can now be said to be a college student. "Helen Stacey said to Karl, and was happy for him to change the subject..
"Oh, that's it. By the way, these are gifts for you. The East values courtesy. You invited me to dinner, so I also prepared some gifts. I forgot about them just now. Sorry! "Karl suddenly thought of something, and took out several gorgeously packaged things from the system space and put them on the table.
There were cosmetics and bags for Gwen, silk scarves for Helen Stacey and other luxury items. Accessories, even George Stacey's, he had prepared them. They were a belt and a leather wallet, which were also expensive luxury accessories. How could he have prepared these? He just bought too many of them during his revenge consumption. Yes, but these things are also unopened. Only the things belonging to Gwen and Helen were prepared by Mei..
"Oh my God! How is this okay? These things are too expensive. We just treat you to a meal to thank you for saving Gwen's life. This….No, we can't accept it. "Helen Stacey looked at the things Carl took out in surprise. These are all famous brands. The total cost of several items is tens of thousands of dollars. Although their family is considered to be middle and upper class, they do not have the luxury to buy such things. What a luxury!
"No, no, no, you must accept it. This is the etiquette of us Easterners. Reciprocity is what we should do. What's more, it is not a precious thing to me. If you don't accept it, I guess I have to leave now. "Karl said to Helen Stacey with a chuckle, while Gwen on the other side looked at him directly after looking at the gift prepared by Karl..
"Oh, okay, but thank you, Carl. "Helen Stacey also knew that the East paid more attention to these things. Coupled with Karl's attitude, she had to put these things away. Even George Stacy's face didn't look so bad. After dinner
, After a while, Karl was ready to leave, and then Gwen came to see Karl off. Originally, George did not intend to let Gwen see him off, but Helen held him back. She could feel that Karl was not the kind of person her husband thought he was. S
o I don't mind if my daughter goes to see each other off.
"that…..Well, Carl, can you come to my 18th birthday party later? "When Gwen saw that Karl had already gotten into the car and was about to leave, she mustered up the courage to say what was in her heart to Karl. Because her relationship with Karl was not particularly good, rashly inviting him to the birthday party was afraid of causing trouble. I am disgusted, but I only have feelings for Karl. People in the United States are extremely enthusiastic about parties and will not be disgusted with this statement at all..
"OK, this is my phone number. Just call me when the time comes. Come on, bye! "Carl handed one of his personal business cards to Gwen and drove away. Mei had gotten the personal business card for him. He said that he was so rich but he didn't even have a business card. He would be putting others down when he went out to attend parties in the future..
....
The next day,
Carl originally wanted to see how Tony's research on the suit was going, and he also took a look at Helen Zhao. When he saw a movie in his previous life, he thought Helen Zhao was pretty good-looking, but he didn't know what the real world was like. But Yelena said that there was an old woman named Mrs. Gao who wanted to see him, and he immediately knew who it was. Isn't it one of the five fingers of Hand Hehui? She came here probably for the dragon bone, but there was no such thing. Thinking that the other party would actually come to the door in person, Karl immediately asked Yelena to bring her over.
He wanted to see what tricks Mrs. Gao was playing. After waiting for a while in the living room on the first floor, Yelena walked in with an old woman. Her white hair was neatly arranged. Although her face was a bit old, her complexion was rosy. She is not at all what she should be at her age. She is wearing an exquisite yellow robe and holding a cane with a dragon head..
"What is the business of Mrs. Gao, one of the Five Hands of Handhehui, doing here? "Karl glanced at Mrs. Gao who was sitting opposite him and said slowly. Of course he knew the other party's purpose, which was to be polite..
"Hello, respected Mr. Carl, I am here on behalf of Handhe Society and want to trade some dragon bones with you, whether it is money, information, or conditions. "Mrs. Gao said respectfully to Karl, keeping her posture very low..
"oh? According to the practice of your hand and meeting, shouldn't you just bring the ninjas to kill you? You told me like this, which makes me feel a little uncomfortable. "Karl picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip and said to Mrs. Gao..
"You are joking, whether you attack the mutant academy, destroy the Belarusian air base, force the army to retreat, etc., how can we attack you without knowing our capabilities? "Mrs. Gao was not angry because of Karl's ridicule. She still said respectfully to Karl. Compared with being able to trade dragon bones and increase life span, this ridicule is nothing at all..
"Then you should be happy for your decision. Okay, let's talk about the keel. One billion US dollars per catty, how much do you want? "Karl sneered, then sat up and said to Mrs. Gao, and offered his own price. The more money, the better, although he is not short of money now..
"10 pounds! Are you here? "Mrs. Gao was silent for a while and answered Karl. This amount of money is nothing to these people who have lived for hundreds of years. She doesn't even plan to bargain with Karl!
