I just want to live a peaceful life in DC world

Chapter 209 Fundraising Party
The party itself was nothing special. Although it was nominally a fundraising event for the reconstruction of Gotham after the disaster, in fact, the people who came here were all profit-seeking animals who wanted to invest in the reconstruction of Gotham. to reap the rewards.

So aside from initially symbolically mourning the victims of the Gotham Flood, the prom segment turns into a kitschy social occasion.

And Jacques just needs to follow what Barbara said, and complete the task by greeting a few trading partners who have already contacted him.

They are all wealthy people that Barbara screened through Bruce Wayne's network. Jacques only needs to prove that he is the owner of those real estates, and then reveal that he has a connection with the Wayne family before they can invest with confidence.

Of course, I heard that there is an emerging rich man here who bought a lot of Gotham real estate at a low price, and many people want to come to chat with Jacques.But Jacques was not interested in dealing with these bad old men and vampires, so he deliberately found various reasons to leave and sat in a remote corner to kill time by himself.

"What's the matter, Mr. Jacques, wouldn't it be boring to be alone here, and not go to the dance floor with your female partner to dance?"

I saw Lex Luthor walking straight towards Jacques with a wine glass in his hand. He had just escaped from a group of socialites with pretty looks and supermodel figures, and sat down beside Jacques unceremoniously.

Guests were allowed to bring their female companions to the party, but all the girls around Jacques either had secret identities or were on arrest warrants, and it was impossible for him to bring his daughter, Little Zyra, to such a place.

"I didn't have a lady with me today—"

"That's just right. Today's party can be said to be full of beauties. If there are any in it who can catch your eyes, Mr. Jacques, just tell me. I'm not boasting, I'm also good-looking, maybe I can introduce it to you."

Jacques glanced at the venue, and Luthor's words were indeed true. Today's party is full of celebrities, and all kinds of beauties are of high quality.

However, Jacques usually has high-quality women around him for a long time, so his resistance to beauties has already been fully charged, so he won't be dazzled on such occasions.

But when Jacques casually glanced at the venue, two women caught his attention inexplicably.

One of them was a girl in a gorgeous dress with short curly shoulder-length blond hair.But contrary to her pretty and cute appearance, she doesn't seem to like this occasion, and all the men who strike up a conversation with her turn coldly at each other.Standing alone in the corner on the other side of the venue, drinking juice, with a look of refusal to be thousands of miles away.

Luther seemed to have noticed Jacques' gaze, and after seeing the girl, he smiled wryly and shook his head.

"As expected of Mr. Jacques, what happened to me is that there are a few of me who can't talk—no, it should be said that if I go to strike up a conversation, it will be good if I don't get beaten up."

Jacques was curious, Luthor could be regarded as rich and powerful, so what was the origin of that girl.

Luthor gestured to Joaquin's ear to move closer to him.

"Her name is Kara Zor-El, which is the relative of Superman-Supergirl."

Jacques's pupils shrank slightly, and he didn't expect to meet a Kryptonian here. I'm afraid their discussions here can't escape the super hearing.

In this world, after Superman sacrificed, Supergirl announced her Kryptonian identity to the world, and wanted to inherit the will of her cousin Superman and protect the city of Metropolis.

"Such a character is actually alone in the corner. Has no one approached her to make a good relationship?"

Luther shrugged, a look of contempt in his eyes.

"She is different from Superman not only because of the difference in ability. That girl is too reckless. In the battle with the Apocalypse demon-like two days ago, the economic loss she caused was higher than that of the demon-like."

"People used to worship her as another superman, but later found that she was just a troublesome, impulsive and irritable, so they just put her as a symbol."

"You must know that what makes Superman so powerful is not just that he can fly and radiate heat vision, but that he can bring hope to others—the difference between her and my previous experimental product, Bizarro, is that she has a better appearance and is more convenient to use. vase."

Although Luther had already lowered his voice, the girl suddenly turned around halfway across the venue and looked in their direction with sharp eyes.

Luthor curled his lips, stretched out a finger in front of him to make a silence gesture, indicating that he could not speak any more, but he responded to Kara's gaze somewhat provocatively.

Jacques felt his scalp tingle. Being fucked by Luthor like this, it is estimated that the super girl regarded herself as Luthor's accomplice and held grudges.

As expected, Kara's face was as dark as ink, and she looked at Luthor and Jacques with unfriendly eyes, as if she wanted to pass through the crowd to settle the score, but was stopped by someone on the way.

Coincidentally, the one who stopped Kara happened to be another woman that Jacques had been paying attention to just now.

Unlike other socialites, this woman is wearing a high-end professional suit. A slim top and shirt wraps her exquisite figure. Under a gray professional skirt with hip wrap is a pair of slender legs wrapped in black stockings.

And under her neat and refreshing jaw-length blond hair, there is a pretty face with a mature feminine charm. Although she only wears light makeup, she still gives people the aura of a queen.

After she stopped Carla, she said a few words and stretched out her hand as if she wanted to shake hands, while Carla frowned slightly, lowered her head and thought for a moment, then shook her head in embarrassment, then turned and left.

Although the woman was rejected, she didn't seem to care, her eyes were fixed on Kara's back and she didn't leave for a long time.

"Mr. Luthor, do you know the woman who just talked to Supergirl?"

"Who? Isn't that Mr. Jacques, your vision is too unique."

After Luther saw the woman, he was taken aback for a moment, and then immediately burst out laughing.

"She is the second most annoying woman here. Her name is Veronica Kyle, and she is the CEO of Kyle-Anderson Pharmaceutical Company. Although she is not as good as me, she is also a well-known entrepreneur. .”

Why does Veronica feel so familiar?

"But don't look at how young she looks, she is actually 36 years old. Her daughter who contracted a strange disease is probably an adult this year, or Mr. Joaquin, you should change your target—"

Jacques was startled, after Luthor's words, he immediately remembered who this Veronica was.

At the same time, he remembered what Wu Mercy Iron Fist said to him last.If you can't get clues from Wonder Woman's friends, go to Wonder Woman's enemies.

And according to Luthor, if nothing unexpected happens, he has found the right person.

Veronica Kyle, maybe she knows the way to Paradise Island.
