The Richest Man in the DC World

"You mean we look alike."

"Yes."

Barbara clenched her fingers and said word by word, "The same people are from a wealthy family, the same has no parents, the same care, and they all like to have one-night stands with supermodels and female stars."

Luke laughed,

"The last sentence should be put away. I'm not interested in female stars."

The girl snorted, "Liar!"

"Really, in my opinion, a hundred female stars are not as good as you."

"Lying again!"

Barbara turned her head away, "Don't seduce me, I won't be fooled."

Luke smiled without saying a word, stretched out his hand to stop her slender waist, and strode towards the villa.

An old man with gray hair, a straight body, and a very British gentleman's demeanor stood at the door. After seeing Luke, he strolled up.

"Hello, Mr. Xiao, I'm Alfred Pennyworth, welcome to Wayne Manor."

"Hello, Mr. Pennyworth."

Luke stretched out his right hand, shook it with him, turned and introduced, "This is the mysterious lady, my female companion."

Alfred nodded with a smile, Barbara wearing a white fox mask had a mysterious temptation, but Alfred had already passed the season of youth and restlessness.

"Master is in the hall, you two, please."

Alfred personally led the two of them into the villa, which was an unheard of treatment for other guests.

There are not many guests in the living room, most of them are familiar faces that can be seen on TV, businessmen, politicians, entrepreneurs, celebrities and so on. Surprisingly, there is Harvey Dent, the new attorney general of Gotham City, among them. .

This is a hot political star in the recent past. Although he lost the mayoral election, he did not reduce his popularity. Instead, he became the new attorney general because of his tough style. The stable situation in Gotham City has nothing to do with him. .

The guests were all Gotham City natives, and Luke looked like an outsider by comparison.

"Luke Xiao, the rumored young master Xiao, the underground leader of the seaside city, didn't expect to see you here."

Harvey Dent's words reveal a hint of hostility,

As if questioning the prisoner, Luke laughed casually,

"I have only one identity now, and that is the guest of Wayne Manor."

"yes?"

Harvey Dante raised his head, his cold face scrutinized, and then asked in a low voice,

"What exactly are those 100 sets of kinetic armor? Why did the gangsters grab them even if they offended the FBI?"

"Sorry, I don't know how to answer your question. If you are interested, you can go to the Gotham City Police Department."

After that, join the crowd with Barbara.

As a promising new-generation billionaire, Luke Xiao's appearance caused quite a stir. Similarly, Barbara, wearing a white fox mask and showing half of her delicate face, also became the focus of the men on the scene.

The two held hands, greeted various characters, and felt the so-called upper-class life.

Barbara was originally worried that people around her would ask her about her identity, but gradually, as the banquet went on, she discovered that everyone cared about her relationship with Luke Xiao, not herself.

This annoys the girl, she's Barbara Gordon, not a vassal.

In one corner of the banquet, a lady in a black dress with a black veil on her face looked at Luke quietly,

"He is Luke Xiao, the heir to the Hong family?"

The attendant beside him nodded and said, "A ruthless character with means and ambition, the master admires him very much."

The lady raised the corners of her mouth, revealing a little sarcasm,

"The old man only has this hobby. Unfortunately, I'm not interested in little brats. How is the plan going, won't the Wayne Group agree?"

The entourage shook his head, his expression very solemn,

"Bruce Wayne seems to have sensed something, completely terminated the cooperation plan, and sent someone to track our contact information secretly."

"Oh!"

The lady raised her brows, "Does it seem like Gotham City's florists are not as bad as they say?"

Follow in a deep voice,

"Master has already ordered that you are solely responsible for taking full control of Gotham City with the Wayne family as a breakthrough."

At this time, Bruce Wayne, the host of the banquet, stepped onto the podium and gave a simple welcome speech. After the speech, the banquet officially began.

A soft symphony sounded, and guests stepped onto the dance floor in twos and threes.

Barbara was a little nervous and whispered, "Are we going to dance too?"

"certainly!"

"But... I won't!"

"I teach you."

With that said, he dragged her into the dance floor. The girl was very talented, and after a while, she mastered the trick. The two danced gracefully on the dance floor and gradually became the focus of everyone.

At the end of the dance, the two left the dance floor in applause. Barbara's face flushed red and she looked very excited.

"How am I dancing?"

"Excellent talent."

Luke stretched out his thumb and turned his eyes to Bruce Wayne who was walking behind him.

"Mr. Wayne, thank you for the invitation. The banquet was great."

"nice! You love it."

Bruce glanced at Barbara, "Can we talk here?"

"certainly!"

Luke patted the girl on the shoulder and followed Bruce to the second floor. The backs of the two of them leaving attracted a lot of attention. There have always been rumors that Wayne Group is very interested in Tesla kinetic armor. I don't know the conversation between the two. Does it have anything to do with this.

It is said that the decorative style of the study corresponds to the personality of the owner. Just like Bruce Wayne, the huge study has only a bookshelf sofa, and the tone is dull, giving people an inexplicable sense of depression.

Bruce opened the curtains and said solemnly,

"Do you like Gotham?"

"Honestly, I don't like it."

"Because of the crime rate."

"No, because the people here robbed my goods."

"Are you sure it's Gotham?"

Luke shrugged, "I have my own channels of information. Similarly, as half the owner of Gotham City, Mr. Wayne should also know."

Bruce frowned and asked hoarsely,

"What exactly are those hundred sets of kinetic armor?"

"Sorry, I can't tell you."

"Is it dangerous?"

Luke sighed, "The original intention of making the armor is for the increasing number of supernatural events, not for ordinary criminals."

Bruce clenched his fists. He ordered special armor from Luke. Although the weapons were not filled, the performance of the armor left a deep impression on him.

It is conceivable how many casualties it will cause once the armor falls into the hands of criminals.

"I remember that Tesla had a clear rule that they would never produce military weapons." Bruce raised his head and stared at Luke, "Why go against the principle?"

Luke raised his brows slightly and his face sank.

"Mr. Wayne, you can't decide many things yourself. Just like the Wayne Group, it's not producing weapons for the Ministry of Defense. Well, let's get back to the point. You specially invited me to the banquet, why exactly?"
