Gotham Docks was a very busy place. Many people came here every day, some for money, some for a new life. Of course, after the "Mutant incident", more people came here to chase after or witness the true rise of a race.
What The Devil Gang did in Mexico was revealed to the world as the Earthlings won the second alien invasion war. Therefore, people found that a Mutant nation was about to be established. When they looked behind them, they found that the Mutants around them seemed to have disappeared overnight.
The moment the destined person stepped onto the stage, they were destined to no longer be isolated and helpless nomads. They were destined to no longer belong to the modern society and the scattered sand of modern civilization. The people of this era were blessed because they would be able to witness one major event after another, provided that they could survive to the end.
The world was like a boiling pot, and people were the fish in the pot. Just like the words of the Archangel Gabriel, "Only by enduring the most painful darkness can one be qualified to receive the morning sun at dawn."
Well, the topic was a little off-topic. In short, today, on a very ordinary morning in Gotham City, a special guest came to the Gotham Docks Port Authority. When she stepped out of her luxury car, she almost instantly attracted the attention of all the men and the hostility of all the women in the building.
"I have an appointment with the Port Authority's director, Mr. Saber!"
The beautiful woman in a dark dress walked to the front of the reception desk and smiled at the young girl on duty. "We have an appointment today."
The young girl at the front desk was a little lazy, and her long hair was not taken care of. But she was still the target of tens of thousands of people in the building and the entire Port Authority. Through the morning sun, one could clearly see the four wings on her back that were as thin as cicada's wings. Coupled with her tall and slender figure, she looked like a legendary fairy.
Yes, this was a Mutant, Angel Salvatore, a veteran Mutant who had been on the battlefield for a long time. She was once Saber's opponent, Magneto's valued subordinate, and now the deputy security captain and manager of the front desk of the Gotham Port Authority. She seemed to like her current idle life.
Angel Salvatore's sexual orientation was very normal. She was not interested in women, so she just smiled perfunctorily at the charming smile of the beautiful woman. She tapped a few times on the computer and threw a pass to the intellectual beauty in front of her. Then, she grabbed a box of chips from the drawer and turned her attention to the soap opera she watched last night.
"Director Saber is on the top floor, but at this time, he should not be at work yet. You can go to the office on the top floor to find his assistant."
She glanced at the beauty whose expression did not change, then looked at her registration information and whispered:
"Friendly reminder, Ms. Mei doesn't like competitors like you getting close to Mr. Saber, so you'd better be more dignified, um … Miss Miranda..."
"Call me Tate, thank you."
The beauty with a hint of Asian characteristics was not angry at Angel Salvatore's bad attitude. She gave her an impeccable smile, then took the elevator to the 17th floor under the guidance of her assistant, which was the top floor where Director Saber was.
As soon as she walked out of the elevator, she saw a beautiful assistant in a black business suit waiting at the elevator entrance. She had short hair, a valiant yet cold face, and a pair of glasses. She was like an iceberg. Miss Tate was stunned for a moment. Then, she heard May open a folder and say fluently, "I'm sorry.
"Miranda Tate, 26 years old, single, from a famous European family. Four years ago, you joined the" New Energy Future Foundation "in New York. After Tony Stark stepped down last year, you became the director of the foundation. You used your clever methods to control 60% of the foundation's funds. You came to Gotham this time to look for a new energy test site in this city, right?"
"Uh, more or less … correct."
Miss Tate had almost traveled the entire world, but she had never been treated like this anywhere. However, she was very professional. Even when faced with the disclosure of her private information, she did not show any anger. On the contrary, she heaved a sigh of relief, looked at Mei calmly, and said softly:
"You're Melinda Mei, Director Saber's personal assistant? I heard that 85% of the decisions of the entire Port Authority are made by you alone, and your success rate is an astonishing 90% … You're really outstanding. Are you interested in changing your job? "
With a simple sentence, Mei's aura instantly collapsed. Obviously, the woman in front of her was not someone to be trifled with.
The atmosphere became a little bad. Mei pushed up her glasses, and her voice became gentler:
"Mr. Saber isn't here today, Miss Tate. Come back another day."
"Oh?"
Miranda Tate took out a small phone from her handbag and waved it in front of Mei's eyes: "But I just called him, and he said he'll be here soon. It seems like you made a mistake this time, Melinda."
"Ding dong."
While the two women were chatting, the elevator door opened and Seiber, who rarely wore a business suit, appeared at the elevator entrance. He wore a pair of dark sunglasses and held a pretentious cane in his hand. He looked at the two women in front of him with a puzzled expression and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you?
"What's going on? Ladies, is it popular to talk business in front of the office now? "
As he spoke, Saber naturally reached out and put his arm around Mei's slender waist. Mei rolled her eyes at him, turned around, and walked away, leaving Saber and Miss Tate alone.
"Please come in, Miranda."
Saber opened the office door for the intellectual beauty in a gentlemanly manner. She gave him a charming smile and walked into Saber's office, which was almost never used after it was renovated.
To be fair, Miss Miranda was a real beauty with no blind spots, especially the tiny scar on her forehead. Not only did it not destroy this beauty, but it also added a different kind of charm to her.
But this was not the reason why Saber was so gentlemanly. The women around Saber had their own characteristics, and none of them was worse than Miranda. The real problem was that Saber had dealt with the "New Energy Future Foundation" before. Tony was once the chairman of this foundation, and Bruce Wayne was also one of its directors. As far as Saber knew, there were also big tycoons such as Norman Osborn. This was an inconspicuous foundation on the surface, but in fact, it was one of the deepest foundations in the United States.
Even Seber himself was a member of this foundation, and this Miss Tate had a mysterious background. She had replaced Tony as the chairman in just two years. Even Tony Stark, who was a womanizer, didn't want to get involved with this fresh flower, which explained a lot of things.
The woman in front of him was not simple, and there was a very shocking secret in her mind. Saber was very sure of this.
Most importantly, Saber didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that he had seen her before. There were not many women who could leave such an impression on Saber. This was one of the reasons why May was hostile to this woman. Saber had enough trouble, and she didn't want Saber to get involved in another trouble.
"I heard that you have a good chat with Bruce?"
Saber personally poured a cup of hot tea for Miss Tate, sat in a chair, and said with a relaxed smile, "You have to be careful, Miranda.
"Then you have to be careful, Miranda. As far as I know, after Bruce got married, not only did his attractiveness to the opposite sex not decrease, but it increased by a lot. I don't want to see a beautiful lady like you being attracted to him … That would be a disaster for all men in America."
Miss Tate couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
"You really know how to talk, Mr. Saber. You're not as unapproachable as the rumors say. The last time I had dinner with Tony, he told me that you're a rude, violent, rude, and troublemaker mobile disaster. Now it seems that he's jealous of you."
"Jealous of me? I'm younger than him, and I have more money than him? "
Saber smiled and crossed his legs.
"No, no, no. I'm two years older than him, and my assets aren't even one-tenth of Stark Enterprises'. Compared to him, I'm just an old, poor, and pitiful person … Okay, let's get down to business. I read the message Bruce sent me. The New Energy Future Fund plans to build a test site in Mexico? Why? There's a war going on there now. Accidents can happen at any time. Forgive me for being blunt, but this is not a good idea. "
When Miranda heard Seiber's words, she stretched out her fingers and brushed her long brown hair. She said meaningfully,
"Did I see the wrong person? Isn't the person sitting in front of me the future Mutant King or President? The Devil Gang has a fully armed army. Mr. Saber, your army is very strong. Our professional military consultant told the directors that the war will probably end in four to seven months. So, when Mr. Norman proposes to build a dangerous test site on your future territory, shouldn't we inform His Majesty in advance? "
"Hmm …"
Saber's smile disappeared little by little. He played with the ruby on the top of the cane in his hand. His fingers danced on the surface of the ruby. Finally, he took off his sunglasses. His flame-like eyes appeared in front of Miranda's eyes, causing a trace of surprise to flash in the eyes of this charming lady.
"So, can I think of this as an investment from the New Energy Future Foundation? Are you ready to take sides? "
Saber asked directly. This blatant question made Ms. Miranda a little unsure of how to answer. In the end, she frowned and said softly,
"Big shots have their own rules, Mr. Saber. Unless they see victory with their own eyes, they won't choose to take sides. Although Tony has always been on your side, he's not enough to push the entire fund towards you. Although within the fund, many members are leaning towards a completely open new market, the traditional industry in Mexico is very profitable. It's very difficult to make those big shots give up their interests. Really, very difficult."
"Oh … I get it. You guys are just setting things up in advance. If I win, you guys will congratulate me and put a crown on me with a smile. If I lose, you guys will not hesitate to step on my dead body and redivide Mexico … Not bad. No matter if I win or lose, you guys will still be the winner."
Saber shook his head. He was very dissatisfied with this answer, but he did not force Ms. Tate who was acting as a mouthpiece. He let out a sigh of relief and changed his posture. He crossed his fingers and placed them on his lap.
"Okay, I agree to the request. But it can't be in the north of Mexico. That's where my military base is. You can choose any other location. Also, the great event of the Mutants establishing a country, are you really not planning to participate? You see, a country with many things to do, just like you said, a completely open market for you. "
When Ms. Miranda heard Saber agree, she let out a sigh of relief. She naturally understood the meaning behind Saber's words. She interrupted Saber and took out a business card from her bag. She placed her finger on it and pushed it in front of Saber.
"The Foundation is very interested in Hammer Industries after it changed hands, so we've decided to inject 10 billion USD into it to allow Hammer Industries to regain its … vitality. This gentleman will take care of everything. I have other things to do in Gotham, so I'll take my leave first."
Ms. Tate stood up and extended her hand to Saber. She smiled and said.
"It's a pleasure working with you, Director Saber."
"It's a pleasure working with you, Ms. Miranda."
Their hands were clasped together, but they separated in the blink of an eye. The moment Ms. Tate walked out of the office, Seber's eyes narrowed slightly. He moved his fingers, and Ms. Tate's legs suddenly tightened. Her entire body fell to the ground. Seber quickly stood up from his chair and hugged Ms. Miranda who was caught off guard.
It was such a beautiful scene that even Miss Miranda blushed a little. Seiber cooperated and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry.
"Do you know? Miranda, the scar on your forehead is really beautiful. "
"That's a memento from an old friend of mine."
Miranda pushed Saber away and said very politely, "I'm already engaged, Mr. Saber. Although you're very charming, I don't want my fiancé to be jealous. See you next time. Oh, right, I'll be taking some photos in Gotham. Can I come to the dock area?"
Saber put his hands in his pockets and shrugged.
"You're welcome anytime."
After the mesmerizing lady left, Mae crept up behind Seiber and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?
"How was it?"
Seiber squinted his eyes and replied, "Excellent body flexibility, outstanding reflexes, calluses between her fingers, and a soul stronger than the average person. It seems like our Miss Miranda, who has a wide range of interests, is not only the chairman of the board and the top photographer, but also the occasional assassin or assassin. Focus on her, May, I can feel that … she's coming for us."
