Chapter 89 Reunion
The Metropolitan Library's charity reception, hosted by Lex Luthor, invites to attend on November 1 at 7 p.m.
Ke Wen raised his eyebrows and read the invitation in his hand.
He couldn't help but laugh slightly.
It’s very interesting that Lex Luthor was not satisfied with his love for Superman and Batman, but he also wanted to love him, Kevin Quinn.
If an old man drinks arsenic, he thinks he will live longer.
Ke Wen smiled and received the invitation, then turned back to the small building that had become the Magic Temple.
Two days later, Coven took a plane across the entire United States, flying from the west coast to the metropolis on the east coast.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Ke Wen arrived at the venue of the reception on time.
Stepping onto the red carpet, the reporters around him suddenly cheered.
Even though Ke Wen is usually a quiet person, he is actually quite famous among all journalists.
Except for some new reporters who don't know him, all the old people who have been in the journalism industry for more than three years know about Coven's existence.
Every year, Coven can only be seen at the Grammys and Oscars later in the year.
Usually, unless there is a major cocktail party, no one can see Ke Wen.
Although Coven's appearances were rare, every time he appeared, the people around him were too famous.
Who are the people accompanying you? Those are all giants at the head of various industries in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, a consensus has emerged in the news industry. Everyone regards Coven as a member of an invisible ancient family, or an ancient financial group similar to top families such as the Rockefellers.
Therefore, almost all media companies have put the task of interviewing Kewen high on their internal task bounty lists.
Now that I unexpectedly saw Ke Wen showing up, how could I not make the reporters around me excited?
As a result, the flash lights almost turned into searchlights, and the sound of the camera shutter completely merged into one.
Clark is among his peers,
He and some newbies were equally confused.
While taking pictures, he asked his colleagues who came with him: "Sir, I mean, is this gentleman very famous?"
"Of course you're famous!"
Clark's colleague, a small man, was excitedly taking photos.
After hearing the inquiry, he immediately replied: "Have you not seen the reward for the task in the company? You know, this gentleman's reward ranks second all year round! It is only one lower than the task of interviewing the president. .”
"Of course." The little reporter added: "Since Superman appeared, this gentleman's ranking has dropped one place."
After saying that, he pushed forward and said hello: "Don't be in a daze, Clark! Come on! You are tall and strong! Take more photos! Then help me squeeze to the front to see if I can get an interview." Chance!"
Clark nodded blankly.
As he absent-mindedly raised his camera to take a picture of Coven, he couldn't help but smile.
Shaking his head, he got rid of the snobbish thoughts that appeared in his mind, and was not prepared to use his relationship with Ke Wen to get any exclusive interview.
At the same time, Ke Wen also discovered Clark's figure among the reporters. There was no way, Clark's height simply stood out among his peers.
So Coven deliberately slowed down his pace across the red carpet, and after approaching Clark, he stopped and turned around, posing so that Clark could take a few photos.
Casting a smiling look at Clark, Coven continued to step forward and soon walked into the reception venue.
This caused a sigh of disappointment from the reporters, because there was still no question for Coven to respond to.
But this disappointment did not last long, because after two minutes, the famous billionaire Bruce Wayne appeared.
So reporters turned their enthusiasm to Bruce Wayne.
Clark couldn't help but be slightly stunned after seeing Bruce Wayne.
After taking a look at Bruce Wayne's physique, he asked his colleague again: "Who is he?"
"That's Bruce Wayne."
While sorting out the photos of Ke Wen just taken, the little reporter opened his mouth to give some tips: "Philanthropist, bibliophile, billionaire, playboy, the 'Wayne Group' that controls the entire economy of Gotham City. The leader of."
Clark nodded slightly in understanding, then raised his camera and started taking pictures.
…
Inside the venue, Kewen briefly looked around after entering.
He found that there was only one acquaintance in the entire venue, so he walked over with a smile.
Taking a glass of wine from the waiter's tray on the way, he quickly came up behind a lady.
After looking at the smooth jade back exposed by the evening dress, Ke Wen was about to speak when the woman in front of him suddenly turned around.
The woman was slightly surprised when she saw it was Ke Wen, and then she smiled noblely and said, "So it's you. I asked you why that sight just now made me feel like a thorn in my back."
"This is too exaggerated." Ke Wen said with a smile: "Meet Diana again, you are beautiful tonight."
"Hmm, thanks for the compliment."
Diana responded with a generous smile and joked: "You haven't changed, your eyes are still so greedy."
"Who told you to be so charming?"
Ke Wen raised the glass to signal, clinked the glasses with Diana and took a sip.
After swallowing the ordinary-tasting drink, Coven continued to stare at Diana and said, "Do you have time tonight? I think we should celebrate this reunion."
"There is time, but no."
Diana smiled and shook her head: "Little boy, although you have aroused my interest, it has not reached the level of making me excited."
"Really? What a shame."
Ke Wen said in an exaggerated manner: "I thought I was good enough."
Diana pursed her lips and smiled, then she bent her beautiful eyes and said: "If you were an ordinary person, maybe I would lower my requirements, but since you are a member of another level, then I We can only raise some passing standards accordingly.”
Hearing this, Ke Wen looked stunned, and then he said with a wry smile: "Are you Pandora who makes people understand the word 'regret'?"
"continue."
Diana was intrigued by the Greek mythological characters Coven mentioned. She smiled slightly expectantly and asked, "Let me hear what you can say."
"I regret."
Ke Wen shook his head and made a sign of remorse: "If I had known that you would improve your qualifications because of this, I wouldn't have exposed my extraordinary abilities last time. I would have continued to get along with you as an ordinary person. Maybe I could get you faster." .”
"As expected of a famous playboy in Hollywood."
Diana smiled without disgust and said: "You are very frank. In a crowd that is full of hypocrisy, is this unique and independent way of communicating the secret to your ability to capture a woman's heart?"
"No, I'm just very trustworthy."
Coven spread his hands and shrugged: "They need resources, and I can provide them. Coupled with my long-lasting credibility and reputation, this is the secret to my popularity in Hollywood."
Diana nodded slightly with satisfaction: "I like your attitude of not being hypocritical."
After saying this, she took the initiative to raise her wine glass.
Ding.
Corwin and Diana clinked their glasses again and looked at each other as they both took a sip of their wine.
While the two were still chatting, a microphone sound check sounded.
Everyone present looked at the podium set up by the organizer and saw a female host smiling and nodding around.
Obviously, the reception is about to officially begin.
After a moment of thanks, the hostess raised her voice and said: "True friends of the Metropolitan Library, let us invite Mr. Lex Luthor!"
Applause rang out, and the attendees looked around. After finding Lex Luthor's figure, they all made way to the podium.
Lex Luthor walked to the podium while applauding, sometimes raising his hands to suppress the applause, sometimes bowing to the crowd on both sides.
Jumping onto the podium, Lex Luthor and the female host hugged each other, thanked each other and then turned to face the audience.
"Thank you, thank you Nikki for the warm-up."
Lex Luthor clasped his hands and glanced at the audience with a smile.
His eyes briefly paused at three places in the crowd, and Lex Luthor smiled in a joking tone: "Speech, speech, let me think of something to say."
"Oh, I thought of it!" He clapped his hands, and then smiled: "The drinks are free, my speech is over!"
Roaring laughter rang out, and everyone in the audience greatly enhanced the atmosphere.
"Thank you again."
Lex Luthor became formal. He thought thoughtfully and said: "The word philanthropist comes from the Greek, which means a person who loves humanity. This word was coined about 2,500 years ago..."
In the crowd in the audience, Ke Wen asked Diana in a low voice: "Is this true?"
"Um."
Diana nodded slightly and was about to tell Ke Wenke something, but suddenly stopped.
She looked past Ke Wen in slight surprise and looked at the crowd in the distance.
Coven followed Diana's line of sight and found that it was Bruce Wayne's big bat spirit that Diana was eyeing.
At the same time, Coven heard another voice from Bruce Wayne.
That was the butler man ‘Alfred’ directing Bruce Wayne’s route through the headset.
After discovering this, Kewen couldn't help but smile and look among the crowd.
Sure enough, Clark in the crowd on the other side was also looking at Bruce Wayne with a slightly surprised expression.
Apparently, in addition to Corwin, Superman Clark and Wonder Woman Diana also heard Alfred's voice.
Coven smiled and looked away, and asked Diana, who was still paying attention to Bruce Wayne: "What are you looking at?"
"Asking knowingly."
Diana responded, then withdrew her gaze and continued to listen to the speech on the stage.
At this time, Lex Luthor happened to be talking about the story in Greek mythology, about the part where 'Prometheus' stole fire.
This made Diana, a demigod from Greek mythology, roll her eyes slightly...
