It was already a month later when Mike heard the news from Ivan again.
On the phone, Stark said angrily, "Ivan escaped from prison. Damn it, he should have been extradited to United States long ago. The damn Gaulish guy is very firm."
There is no high-security prison for Monaco, and Ivan is imprisoned in Gaul. Although Gaul is one of the five permanent members, its economy and military have gradually fallen behind, and now it has basically become a yes-man for United States.
Mike said, "Of course not! What is the reason for extradition? Gaul doesn't want to lose face? Do you think Gaul is willing to be United States brother? His form is just weaker than others... Besides, they don't want Nuclear Reactor's technology? The opportunity is at the door, so you have to give it a try. As the saying goes, if you give it a try, a bicycle will become a motorcycle."
Stark said disdainfully, "Now that the prisoner has escaped, they have some respect. Why do you think you are not surprised at all?"
"People like Ivan want to escape and can't be locked up. It's useless to get angry if they run away. Anyway, his target is you. No matter where he escapes, he will eventually appear in front of you."
"That's right." Stark thought for a while, "It seems that I have to keep a low profile these days."
Then the next day, Mike saw the news in the newspaper that Stark was holding a party at home. The picture was of Stark wearing large floral shorts, hugging two beauties in cool clothes, playing by the pool.
What do you mean by being more low-key?
"Colleen..."
Mike looked at Colleen who was lying on the counter, drunk, but still asking the bartender for a drink.
Mike asked the bartender, "How much did she drink?"
Bartender: "It's enough to make a big man drunk."
Mike:"Okay, checkout."
Bartender: " Mr. Rand bought this place, and his friends don't have to pay for their drinks."
After being stunned for a moment, I remembered that "Mr. Rand" in the bartender's mouth was referring to Iron Fist - the heir to the Ten Billion Group.
Colleen suddenly raised his head and stared at Mike: "Mike, why are you here? Hey~ why are there three Mike, hehe, it's fun."
What a fun thing... you didn't call me here just yet.
You can't afford to offend a drunken woman...
He put his hands around Mike's neck, and the smell of alcohol almost made Mike vomit.
"Stop drinking, I'll take you home."
"How can I have a home when I go home? They are all fake. They are all liars."
Mike put down the tip, picked up Colleen and walked out.
Quite heavy.
Mike booked a room in a nearby hotel, settled in Colleen, and prepared to leave.
In the hotel lobby, Mike saw Danny. Rand. The latter was wearing formal clothes.
Danny left at a banquet just now. If Tsukuru wanted to investigate the collusion between the group and the Hand, he would inevitably need to gain a say within the group. If he wanted to have a say, it was not enough to just own shares, he also needed connections. For this reason, he had to attend some banquets.
Knowing that Colleen was drunk in the bar, Danny rushed over without stopping, but was a step late and saw Mike helping Colleen into the car.
For some reason, Danny followed him to the hotel and watched Mike and Colleen get on the elevator together.
"They are childhood sweethearts, who am I?" Danny said bitterly.
Danny was sitting on the sofa in the lobby with a look of pain on his face.
A few minutes later.
He saw Mike coming downstairs.
Astonished.
Mike asked directly, "Tell me, what's going on Colleen?"
"Bakuto." Danny said, "Since I met you last time and learned the news about Bakuto from you, Colleen started investigating. Colleen respects and trusts her teacher very much..."
As he said that, Danny glanced at Mike. The subtext was that in the end, he would trust you, his childhood sweetheart, more.
"In fact, Bakuto's disguise was not perfect. It just took advantage of Colleen's trust. Once the investigation began, many traces of Silk were revealed. After Bakuto realized that he had been exposed, he sent two ninjas to assassinate Colleen."
"What the Hand is assassinating, we are mentally prepared for it. The key lies in the identity of the assassination ninja - Colleen takes in stray children from the street. Colleen wants to help them, but Bakuto trains them to become the Hand's killer. Impulsively went to confront Bakuto. After Bakuto failed to recruit Colleen, he laughed at her innocence and said that it was entirely Colleen's responsibility that the children became killers. Colleen blamed herself very much."
"Oh." The development of the matter did not exceed Mike's expectation, "I know, by the way, tell Colleen that I recorded her drunk appearance. I promise not to be the first to use nuclear weapons, but if she wants to tell my parents, don't blame me for sending the video to everyone, including her mortal enemy Susan."
"Uh..." Danny looked confused.
Shouldn't you be worried about Colleen at this time?
What kind of nuclear weapon is a drunken video?
Who is Susan?
Seemingly seeing Danny's doubts, Mike said, "Don't worry, Colleen is much stronger than she looks. She was the woman who chased me with a knife for more than ten times in high school, so she won't break down so easily."
Mike showed a look of nostalgia.
The airport back then, the current situation... When I helped Colleen take off his coat and change into his nightgown, Mike had to give himself a thumbs up.
What a foresight.
But why does it feel a little hot? Of course, Mike will not admit to being aroused by Colleen's mermaid line.
Hungry?
Fortunately, the secular world always has certain preferential treatment for handsome men. "When an eel is hungry, there is a baby."
Mike found a familiar bar and within two minutes of sitting down, a beautiful woman came over to say hello.
When you go out to play, finding the right place is crucial.
In some places, people just want to have a drink in peace.
Don't interrupt randomly, as this will only annoy people and undermine your self-confidence.
In some places, sitting alone at the bar is equivalent to saying, "Hey, handsome guy or beauty, come and flirt with me." If you go up to strike up a conversation, and she or he says "just want to be alone," it only means that you are not her or him's cup of tea. If you can have a conversation, you are all adults, and you are already prepared for what will happen next, right?
"Hello, handsome man, would you like to have a drink with me?"
"Uh" Mike didn't react for a moment.
Mike Si?
Then the beauty came over and said with a smile, "I am Daisy, and you? Alone?"
Then the beauty whispered, "My friend and I made a bet, one hundred US dollar, what if we win two and one plus five? Handsome man, how about helping with a play?"
Daisy looks very much like Mike Black from "2 Broke Girls", with big smart eyes, sexy thick lips, and of course, super European style.
Bet?
Or it might not be a real bet, but using a bet as an excuse to strike up a conversation is an old bar routine.
"What to bet on?" Mike asked.
"My sisters don't believe I can seduce you." Daisy waved to a few men and women not far away.
Mike showed a smile meant only for picking up girls, "Sorry, I'm afraid it won't work. I don't have much talent in acting..."
Mike took a sip of wine.
After hearing what Mike said, Daisy was very disappointed, and then heard Mike continue, "The key is, you succeeded in seducing me, right? I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself - Mike. Tang. One-half of the descendant of heaven. By the way, are you interested in China food?"
Scumbag. One of the training manuals for men: suppress your desire first, and then take the initiative to bring up topics that can be discussed.
Daisy looks like the type who likes to eat.
Facts have proved that Mike is right.
A common topic was found.
It won't be an awkward conversation.
