Chapter 350 The Banquet Begins [2/3]
"...Let us invite today's protagonist, Mr. George Connert!"
Along with the host's words, a burst of warm applause erupted from the crowd below, setting the atmosphere in the venue even more enthusiastically.
Already on standby next to the stage, George and his wife dressed in dress and tied each other, slowly walked to the center of the stage under the spotlight.
Take the microphone from the banquet host and George began to read his birthday speech prepared in advance: "On this beautiful night, because of the arrival of all friends..."
He took his eyes back from his father, left the main venue, and came to the sparsely populated buffet and dining area, and then put down the fake smile on his face.
Picking a few favorite foods and hitting them on the disc, then picking up a drink, Cyber went to the rest area alone and began to reward himself for his stomach that had been "hungry" for most of the day.
Early this morning, he arrived at the venue to prepare.
In addition to helping to arrange the venue, we also need to personally receive some heavyweight guests to show respect.
Really exhausted.
Of course, it is not physical fatigue, but mental fatigue.
"Boy Cyber, where are your girlfriends? Why are you dumped here and drinking alone?"
Suddenly, a familiar teasing sound came from behind.
"First, I drink not alcohol, but Coke. Second, I have never been the only one who dumps others, and no one else has to dump my share. The most important thing is that I only have one girlfriend, and the relationship is very good, so you don't have to worry about it."
Without looking back, Cyber will know who is coming.
The answer is even more incredible, without any traps in the other person's dialect.
Cyber would bet that if Tony, the bastard, was not on the recording now and was about to take revenge on him, he would eat the glass on the spot.
Some time ago, he kept it in the database. When Tony was controlled by Amora, the video of a veteran licking dog's face "accidentally" was leaked to the intranet of Stark's home and was discovered by Pepper.
He rolled his eyes to Tony who was careless in front of him, and Cyber sneered and said angrily: "Hey~ someone is so embarrassed to say to me, why didn't I see Pepper at the venue today?"
"She felt a little uncomfortable today."
Tony's breathing stagnated, and he started to change the topic with a quick perfunctory sentence: "By the way, the situation in the Middle East has been in chaos recently, do you know?"
"I know, what?"
Cyber was not interested in delving into the mess of the couple.
You don’t need to guess that it must be because of this old man who is born, and being discovered when she is flirting with flowers outside, the little pepper must be blocking the air.
"In the Middle East, I'm worried that a large number of KB organizations like the Ten Jie Gang will rekindle."
Tony's originally frivolous expression instantly became serious, and he became worried about the country and the people.
"The one who kidnapped you?"
Cyber tilted his head and showed his eyes looking at the fool: "What? Could it be that you still want to lead the Avengers to forcibly calm the chaos over there and compete for this year's Nobel Peace Prize?"
"I……"
"You didn't sleep today?"
Without giving Tony a chance to continue speaking, Cyber pointed to the old men with gray hair, fierce aura and sitting straight in the southwest corner of the main venue in the distance: "That group of people will not agree. They have a business worth hundreds of billions there. The other hooligans will not agree. The chaos in the Middle East is the good Middle East."
"Okay, I know."
Tony's expression was dim for a moment, and he returned to his heartless appearance again, caring and said: "Your security is fine, right? I'm worried that those lunatics might come to attack here and make a big news."
If this guy has the support, combined with his connections and power, there is a glimmer of hope that he can barely achieve his goal and maintain the stability of that area.
But now it seems that this guy is obviously unwilling to wade into this muddy water.
"Don't worry~"
After drinking all the coke in the cup, Cyber was extremely confident: "How can I not prepare in advance so many 'big' people here?"
He received Alita's risk warning beforehand, decisively fired the security team hired by his father, and handed over the security guard to Denise.
Under the mobilization of this female subordinate, three special teams, Alpha, Beta and Gama, came out to guard the entire venue without any leakage.
In addition, dozens of mutants hidden in this venue, as well as the two siblings Cyborg, Wanda and Pitro.
Not to mention ordinary KB players, even if the Avengers come today, they will not be able to take advantage of it. The winner and loser are both.
Cyber attended the banquet. He was extroverted and cheerful, and always loved the excitement. It was naturally impossible for Hope, who had always liked the fun.
The old bald and Scott originally refused to leave the utopia, but Hope's willingness to go back to give his father was too strong, and he was worried that she would want to sneak back as before.
As a last resort, in order to protect the prophetized 'mutant' savior, Scott had to lead the team himself and take most of the X-Men members out of the island to protect Hope's safety.
Of course, this is one of the reasons, and partly because the Conat family donates hundreds of millions of dollars in activity funds to Utopia every year.
When your biggest sponsor celebrates his birthday, Utopia has to express it even when he receives an invitation.
After the dinner began, Hopra took Lorna and Wanda to hold the so-called "Ladies' Night" upstairs with her best friends, and drove her dear brother out ruthlessly.
While Cyber and Tony were chatting together, George's speech had already ended, and the guests also began to move freely, chatting in groups of three or three.
People with a status like George are no longer a banquet for him alone.
It is also a platform for exchange of banquets, favors and interests for business tycoons, military generals, and political guests.
Cyber was not interested in knowing how many exchanges of interests or dirty behind-the-scenes transactions were in the venue, and he was arguing with Tony about the origin of the Quantum Bits Sea and all things.
At this time, an uninvited guest came over under the leadership of an acquaintance.
"Cyber, Stark, what subversive topic are you arguing about?"
A sturdy old man in a suit and ties, gray hair and a mustache came up and flattered him.
"General Ross, no, you should call you Secretary of State Ross now, good evening."
Cyber smiled and greeted him.
Tony disdained the old Zamao who had had a conflict with him.
That's right, the person who came was the one who fell in love with the Green Fatty for many years. He was promoted to Secretary of State half a month ago. The senior general who had the deepest bond between the interests of the Connate Group - Thaddeus Ross.
"This is Mr. Norman Osborne. I think everyone knows you, so I won't introduce it more."
