As they scrolled through the news on their phones, Max and Old Earl started discussing. Caroline even took out her last private stash, which was three special cupcakes.
Max was shocked. "What? That's fifteen dollars. You're hiding it? "
Caroline chuckled. "I don't care, but you really don't want to try Chris's cooking?"
Max snorted. "I've had enough this morning … cough, cough."
She suddenly paused and picked up a cake. "Hmph, I'll let him make it again if I have the chance."
As she said that, she took a bite of the cake. After chewing twice, she raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Emmmm, this tastes pretty good."
Smiling, Caroline gave one to Old Earl and sat down to eat it herself.
She would never say that she had been too lazy to eat this cake for lunch, but it was so delicious that she ate four in one go.
Max's heart would ache for twenty dollars for lunch.
At that moment, Han walked out. "What are you eating?"
The three of them looked at each other in silence, not knowing what to say.
That was because Caroline had only left three cakes, and they had all been bitten.
However, Han didn't really care. He simply sat down, exhausted.
In fact, he hadn't even made a hundred servings of food tonight.
Most customers either left as soon as they asked why they had to wait, or left after buying two cakes and having a drink. They didn't even wait for the food to come out of the kitchen.
Even so, he felt like he was dying of exhaustion.
Very soon, the scene turned into four people chatting.
The most idle person today was Old Earl, the cashier.
They had sold hundreds of cupcakes today, and Max and the others had collected the money themselves.
Han's efficiency tonight was appallingly low. Earl had basically been scrolling through his phone all night, and immediately began to brag about the information he had gathered.
What was the reason for Max and Selina's windfall today? It was the explosion yesterday.
What was the big deal about the explosion yesterday? Of course it was the old CP, Batman and Iron Man.
All the details of the case were still confidential and hadn't been released to the public, so there wasn't much to discuss.
But there were countless witnesses to Batman and Iron Man's appearance. Naturally, there was evidence that they had worked together to deal with the terrorists in the Wall Street subway.
No one took pictures of how Iron Man first entered the subway station, but there were many pictures as proof that he came out of the subway station and changed into a suit of armor before returning.
Both sets of steel armors were riddled with scars. Clearly, the battle inside had been intense.
As for what Batman was doing inside, there were videos and pictures from several heavyweight "witnesses" as proof.
One of them was even on the train that had one of its carriages blown up.
Coincidentally, this person was a new short video blogger. In other words, he was the kind of person who recorded his daily life and posted it online for others to see.
The blogger was also very professional. Instead of using a phone, he used something similar to a helmet camera.
Sitting in the second to last carriage, he captured the most complete video of Batman rescuing people in the explosion.
It just so happened that this blogger was a person who sought fame the most. All of his videos were marked with "Just indicate the source for reposting."
Not long after it was released, the videos fell into the hands of major TV stations.
At that time, many departments had already blocked the video, but it was a pity that it was useless.
In just a few minutes, the blogger's video had been downloaded by many people, and many of them had ulterior motives. They were waiting for someone to make a fortune to sell it to the TV stations.
As long as it was a cash transaction, there wouldn't be too much trouble.
By the time the blogger's original video was blocked, many of these people's videos had been sold for a good price.
It wouldn't be easy to suppress things that were in the hands of the TV stations.
Besides, this video didn't involve any deep interests. It was just that a few departments wanted to block the information out of selfishness, but they couldn't bring it out in the open.
In the end, the video was played so many times on the TV stations that the blogger had no choice but to release it on his home page.
The people around the world didn't care about these dark struggles.
Just like the departments with ulterior motives, they actually didn't care about how many civilians Batman saved. After all, rich people wouldn't take the subway, so they wouldn't be the ones who died.
They just wanted information about Batman, or to lower Batman's credit in this matter.
Once again, there were a lot of hardcore Batman fans in the crowd. Some were even brainless fans.
This time, some people who liked to publicly discredit Batman to attract attention were attacked by the public like a storm.
Nobody could slander Batman at a time like this.
In the video, everyone could clearly see that after Batman rescued eight passengers, he stood in front of the train door alone.
Clearly, he had chosen to take it head-on to protect the passengers behind him who couldn't escape in time.
Although it was unknown how he had protected the second to last car from exploding in the explosion, the bulging cape and the raging flames that enveloped half of the car proved that Batman had used himself to protect the passengers.
Then, Batman jumped out of the subway and stopped the two cars that were sweeping toward the station entrance. Videos and pictures were also taken by the fearless people on the scene.
But these people weren't as professional as the blogger. The video was shaky, and the pictures were very messy.
They managed to find some usable ones, which were analyzed frame by frame by frame by the TV stations and internet gods to determine Batman's injuries from the explosion.
Although the Bat Armor was black, it really wasn't resistant to dust.
Having just come out of the explosion, it looked dusty, and the airflow scraped the dust on the armor, making it look even more pathetic.
Many experts jumped out to prove that this was definitely the result of taking the explosion head-on, so this video wasn't a trick or a magic trick.
Batman really was using his body to protect the passengers on the subway.
Those who could take the subway were basically at the bottom of society, but they were also the most populous class in the world.
They may not be very smart, or they may be easily fooled and incited, or they may be easily used, but they are also the group that is most likely to feel grateful.
The rich, on the other hand, could spend money to get security guards to block bullets for them, and really didn't care much about saving their lives.
However, Batman had always taken the route of the masses.
In his previous life, Luke, who had come from China, had always remembered the great man's teachings: Only by coming from the masses and going to the masses can you be invincible.
This time, with the help of the professional blogger, Batman's momentum was set.
With the approval of the civilians, who had an absolute advantage in numbers, Batman finally turned from a "superhero" into a "spiritual symbol."
In the eyes of the civilians, he was no longer a "vigilante" who enforced the law in private. Instead, he represented justice and courage, faith and perseverance, as well as unyielding and fearless qualities.
In a sense, he had become a "god" that the people believed in, or a "saint" in web novels in his previous life.
