Chapter Three Hundred and Fifty-Second The Argument Does Not Matter [1/3]

“mu~a,mu~a…”

A sound of chewing came from behind, and I smelled the familiar body fragrance. Cyber ​​looked back and saw the little witch holding a mousse cake and digging in small mouth with a spoon.

Sitting next to Cyber, digging a spoonful of cake and feeding it to the other party, Wanda said curiously: "Who were those two people just now?"

"Two ambitious people, be careful when they meet in the future. Don't believe any punctuation they say."

He smeared the cake sent by the little witch in one bite, and Cyber ​​licked the corner of his mouth: "It's really good taste, it's delicious."

The little witch is one of the team's favorite sweets.

Moreover, it is a constitution that you will never gain weight no matter how much you eat. All the calories absorbed by the body are gathered in two parts.

"Then eat more."

After being praised, Wanda's cheeks fell from two dimples and dug a spoonful of cake and fed it to a scumbag.

"This is... forget it."

Tony wanted to say something when he recognized the person, but when he thought of the evil he had committed in the past, he could only choose to shut up.

I really couldn't stand the nuisance of this pair of men and women, and were stuffed with dog food. Tony decisively offered to say goodbye: "You two are chatting slowly, I'll go to other places for a while first."

After Tony left, the little witch's tense body relaxed significantly.

Although she no longer treats Tony as her father's enemy, the resentment she has accumulated for more than ten years cannot be completely resolved by Cyber's words.

It was already very embarrassing to Cyber ​​when he didn't shy his face on the spot, but just treated him as air.

"Why aren't you on top with Hope, Lorna and the others continue your mysterious lady's night?"

Cyber ​​was curious.

When talking about this topic, Wanda's face collapsed: "The eyes of Hope's mutant friends made me uncomfortable, so I came out to have some breath."

I don’t know which mutant feels good about the perception ability. Since the last time I learned the truth about the mutant catastrophe from the old bald man, the story about Wanda has spread to ten and ten hundred, and has been completely spread on Utopia Island.

Except for a few people, the mutants on the entire island became very bad for Wanda's senses, and even had a faint hostility.

"The prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain."

After rubbing the little witch's hair, Cyber ​​comforted her: "That's what Wanda did. You don't need to bear the guilt for her, just be yourself."

"I know."

Wanda nodded seriously, but the knot in his heart was obviously not so easy to open.

Turn on super vision and confirm that Lorna is still playing 'Ladies' with Hope and the others in the room upstairs. Cyber ​​smiled slightly, pulled the little witch's hand, and walked straight to the elevator: "Okay, the charity auction mode is about to begin, let's go and have a look together."

……………………

In the temporary renovation auction hall, guests sat in an orderly manner, holding a number plate representing their identity in their hands.

An auctioneer with greasy head and flour noodles introduced the goods on the stage, telling the origin, historical allusions, and the characteristics of the products, making it so popular that it was so popular that it inspired the shopping enthusiasm of the guests below the stage.

"VIP No. 28, Congressman Clinton offered $500,000, or not, is there any..."

Before the auctioneer could finish speaking, a sign was raised in the field again.

"On the 79th, Mr. Wen from the UK offered 600,000 US dollars..."

...

...

I saw a very familiar lot carried out by the staff, and a group of rich people who were competing for the bidding and spending money like money in the field.

"Isn't that the painting in Aunt Rowling's collection?"

Wanda looked puzzled, attached to the scumbag's ear, and asked in a low voice: "I remember my aunt said that the painting was collected by her for tens of thousands of dollars a few years ago from an ordinary painter. Why is it now being carried to more than two million dollars?

Are these people really stupid, or do they not understand art and make trouble?"

"Haha, these guys are all human spirits, how could they not know the true value of this painting?"

Cyber ​​asked back, "Do you think the guy sitting here today is short of that million dollars?"

“No shortage.”

The little witch thought about it and shook her head slowly.

Million dollars may be a huge sum of money for ordinary people, but those who attend this auction today are either rich or noble, and million dollars can only be considered a small sum of money for them.

Not to mention anything else, she is now under the name of the Connat Group and has a salary of one million US dollars per year. She is already an absolute rich woman.

"No, there are many people who are not in good financial situation and are still short of that million dollars, but they won't show it."

Cyber's answer surprised the little witch.

Wanda:⊙(?◇?)?

Knowing that the innocent little witch has some lack of understanding of the sinister world, Cyber ​​continued to explain: "Don't look at some people who are in awe of public glory, they have already become billionaires and are at the risk of going bankrupt on the rooftop at any time."

During the conversation, the painting was finally sold for $2.1 million.

Wanda was even more confused: "Then why did they still come to this charity auction to give money?"

"What you give is money, what you get is name."

Cyber ​​began to popularize the essence of this charity auction on Little Witch: "Is that painting worth two million? It is definitely not worth it. The one who took the painting was a veteran senator from New York. Didn't he know that the items at the charity auction were extremely high, ten times or even hundreds of times that at ordinary auctions?

He knows, but he still wants to buy it because he is preparing to run for New York City Mayor this year, and needs a good reputation and reveal his financial resources."

"Look, that real estate businessman went bankrupt six times and is facing the risk of his seventh bankruptcy."

Before the little witch could ask questions, Cyber ​​pointed to a tall golden-retriever not far away and continued: "But do you believe it or not? As long as you have enough reputation, he will have the opportunity to sit in the white house next year, turn over and become the most powerful person in the world?"

"So, this charity party is just a show for the powerful?"

Wanda felt like she was about to be confused and had a cloud of slurry in her head.

"Whether they are doing things in their minds, no matter what they have done before, and what is the purpose of taking these goods, they are indeed doing good things tonight."

He raised the number plate in his hand to bid, Cyber ​​pinched the little witch's round face with a slightly baby fat and said seriously: "The money from this charity auction will eventually flow into the Connat Charity Foundation to help poor children in third world countries in Africa."

"However, sometimes merits and demerits can be offset, but good and evil cannot. You must remember this."

When Cyber ​​was about to continue to train the little witch's three views, Alita's prompt sound suddenly sounded in her ears: "Master, a prison robbery occurred in Island City Prison. Trevor Slaterey, who was imprisoned as "Mandarin"."
