The Metropolitan Library's charity reception, hosted by Lex Luthor, is invited to attend on November 1 at 7 p.m.
Ke Wen raised his eyebrows and read the invitation in his hand.
He couldn't help but laugh slightly.
It's very interesting that Lex Luthor was not satisfied with being in love with Superman and Batman, but he was also indulging in Kevin Quinn.
If an old man drinks arsenic, he thinks he will live longer.
Kewen smiled and received the invitation, then returned to the small building that had become the Magic Temple.
Two days later, Coven took a plane across the entire United States, flying from the west coast to the metropolis on the east coast.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Ke Wen arrived at the venue of the reception on time.
Stepping onto the red carpet, the reporters around him suddenly cheered.
Although Ke Wen usually doesn't show much publicity, he is actually quite famous in all circles of journalists.
Except for some new reporters who don't know about him, all seniors who have been in the journalism industry for more than three years know about Ke Wen's existence.
Every year, Coven can only be seen at the Grammys and Oscars later in the year.
Usually, unless there is a major cocktail party, no one will see Ke Wen.
Although Kewen appeared very rarely, every time he appeared, the people around him were too famous.
Who are the people accompanying him? They are all giants in charge of various industries in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, a consensus has emerged in the news industry, and everyone regards Kewen as a member of an invisible ancient family, or an ancient conglomerate similar to top families such as the Rockefellers.
Therefore, almost all media companies put the task of interviewing Kewen high on the company's internal task bounty list.
Now that Ke Wen unexpectedly appeared, how could he not make the reporters around him excited?
As a result, the flash lights almost turned into searchlights, and the sound of the camera shutter completely merged into one.
Clark was among his peers, and he and some newbies were equally confused.
While taking pictures, he asked his colleagues who came with him: "Sir, am I saying this gentleman is famous?"
"Of course it's famous!"
Clark's colleague, a small man, was excitedly taking photos.
After hearing the inquiry, he immediately replied: "Have you not seen the reward for the task in the company? You know, this gentleman's reward ranks second all year round! It is only one lower than the task of interviewing the president.
.”
"Of course." The little reporter added: "Since Superman appeared, this gentleman's ranking has dropped one place."
When he finished speaking, he pushed forward hard and greeted: "Don't be in a daze, Clark! Come on! You are tall and strong! Take more photos! Then help me squeeze to the front to see if I can get an interview."
Chance!"
Clark nodded blankly.
While absent-mindedly raising the camera to take a picture of Ke Wen, he couldn't help but smile.
Shaking his head, he got rid of the snobbish thoughts that appeared in his mind and was not planning to use his relationship with Ke Wen to get any exclusive interview.
At the same time, Ke Wen also discovered Clark's figure among the reporters. There was no way he could help it, but Clark's height simply stood out among his colleagues.
So Coven deliberately slowed down his pace across the red carpet, and after approaching Clark, he stopped and turned around, posing so that Clark could take a few photos.
Casting a smiling look at Clark, Kewen continued to step forward and soon walked into the reception venue.
This made the reporters sigh in disappointment, because there were still no questions for Coven to respond to.
However, this disappointment did not last long, because after two minutes, the famous billionaire Bruce Wayne appeared.
So reporters turned their enthusiasm to Bruce Wayne.
Clark couldn't help being slightly stunned after seeing Bruce Wayne.
After taking a look at Bruce Wayne's physique, he asked his colleague again: "Who is he?"
"That's Bruce Wayne."
While sorting out the photos of Ke Wen just taken, the little reporter opened his mouth to give some tips: "Philanthropist, bibliophile, billionaire, playboy, the 'Wayne Group' that controls the entire economy of Gotham City.
The leader of."
Clark nodded slightly in understanding, then raised his camera and started taking pictures.
…
Inside the venue, Ke Wen briefly looked around after entering.
He found that there was only one acquaintance in the entire venue, so he walked over with a smile.
On the way, he took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray and quickly came up behind a lady.
After looking at the smooth jade back exposed by the evening dress, Ke Wen was about to speak when the woman in front of him suddenly turned around.
The woman was slightly surprised when she saw it was Ke Wen, and then she smiled noblely and said, "So it's you. I asked you why that sight just now made me feel like a thorn in my back."
"This is too exaggerated." Ke Wen smiled and said, "I met Diana again. You look beautiful tonight."
"Hmm, thanks for the compliment."
Diana responded with a generous smile and joked: "You haven't changed, your eyes are still so greedy."
"Who told you to be so charming?"
Ke Wen raised the wine glass as a signal, clinked the glasses with Diana and took a sip.
After swallowing the tasteless drink, Ke Wen continued to stare at Diana and said, "Do you have time tonight? I think we should celebrate this reunion."
"There is time, but not possible."
Diana smiled and shook her head: "Little boy, although you have aroused my interest, it has not reached the level of making me excited."
"Really? What a pity."
Ke Wen said in an exaggerated manner: "I thought I was good enough."
Diana pursed her lips and smiled, then she bent her beautiful eyes and said: "If you were an ordinary person, maybe I would lower my requirements, but since you are a member of another dimension, then I
We can only raise some passing standards accordingly.”
Hearing this, Ke Wen looked stunned, and then he said with a wry smile: "Are you Pandora who makes people understand the word 'regret'?"
"continue."
Diana was intrigued by the Greek mythology characters that Coven mentioned. She smiled slightly expectantly and asked: "Let me hear what you can say."
"I regret."
Ke Wen shook his head and made a sign of regret: "If I had known that you would improve your qualifications because of this, I wouldn't have exposed my extraordinary abilities last time. I would have continued to get along with you as an ordinary person. Maybe I could get you faster."
.”
"As expected of a famous playboy in Hollywood."
Diana smiled without disgust and said: "You are very frank. In a crowd that is full of hypocrisy, is this unique and independent way of communicating the secret to your ability to capture a woman's heart?"
"No, I'm just very trustworthy."
Ke Wen spread his hands and shrugged: "They need resources, and I can provide them. Coupled with my long-lasting credibility and reputation, this is the secret to my popularity in Hollywood."
Diana nodded slightly with satisfaction: "I like your attitude of not being hypocritical."
After finishing her words, she took the initiative to raise her wine glass.
Ding.
Ke Wen and Diana clinked glasses again and looked at each other as they both took a sip of wine.
While the two were still chatting, a microphone sound check sounded.
Everyone present looked towards the podium set up by the organizer, and saw a female host smiling and nodding around.
Obviously, this cocktail party is about to officially begin.
After a while of words of thanks, the female host raised her voice and said: "True friends of the Metropolitan Library, let us invite Mr. Lex Luthor!"
Applause rang out, and the participants looked around one after another. After finding the figure of Lex Luthor, they made way for a passage leading to the podium.
Lex Luthor walked to the podium while applauding, sometimes raising his hands to suppress the applause, sometimes bowing to the crowd on both sides to thank him.
Jumping onto the podium, Lex Luthor hugged the female host, thanked him, and then turned to face the audience.
"Thank you, thank you Nikki for the warm-up."
Lex Luthor clasped his hands and glanced at the people in the audience with a smile.
His eyes briefly paused at three places in the crowd, and Lex Luthor smiled in a joking tone: "Speech, speech, let me think of something to say."
"Oh, I thought of it!" He clapped his hands, and then smiled: "The drinks are free, my speech is over!"
Roaring laughter rang out, and everyone in the audience greatly enhanced the atmosphere.
"Thank you again."
Lex Luthor became formal. He thought thoughtfully and said: "The word philanthropist comes from Greek, which means a person who loves humanity. This word was coined about 2,500 years ago..."
Among the crowd in the audience, Ke Wen asked Diana in a low voice: "Is this true?"
"Um."
Diana nodded slightly and was about to tell Ke Wenke something, but suddenly stopped.
She looked past Ke Wen in slight surprise and looked at the crowd in the distance.
Coven followed Diana's line of sight and found that the person Diana was eyeing was actually Bruce Wayne's big bat spirit.
At the same time, Coven heard another voice from Bruce Wayne.
That’s the butler ‘Alfred’ directing Bruce Wayne’s route through the headset.
After discovering this, Ke Wen couldn't help but smile and look among the crowd.
Sure enough, Clark in the crowd on the other side was also looking at Bruce Wayne with a slightly surprised expression.
Obviously, in addition to Corvin, Superman Clark and Wonder Woman Diana also heard Alfred's voice.
Coven smiled and looked away, and asked Diana, who was still paying attention to Bruce Wayne: "What are you looking at?"
"Asking even though you know it."
Diana responded, then withdrew her eyes and continued to listen to the speech on the stage.
At this time, Lex Luthor happened to be talking about the story in Greek mythology, about the part where 'Prometheus' stole fire.
This made Diana, a demigod from Greek mythology, roll her eyes slightly...
