Chapter 97 Duel Initiated "How much less than last month? ...
"How much less than last month?" How guilty must one be to say such a vague question? Dick pulled Tim's clothes to prevent him from leaving.
"It's less anyway." Tim struggled. He felt like a fish caught in a net. The person on the other end was too strong and he couldn't escape at all. He picked up a pillow and wanted to attack.
"You said the same thing last time."
Seeing the two people pulling and tugging, Damian, who was about to leave, stopped.
"you……"
"By the way, we need to dress it up, right?" Dick said, looking at Di Ting in his arms.
"...No, just leave it at home." Damian lowered his eyes and didn't look at anyone with a haughty attitude, which was very rare.
"But its parents said they want to see it, so take it with you." Tim's words made him silent for a while.
"Okay." After agreeing, Damian left.
The two people on the sofa looked at each other and let go.
"That's weird," Tim muttered, and he painstakingly arranged the pillows so that Fu would have one less to pack when he packed up.
"She's still a child." Dick shook his head, believing he needed to be tolerant of children. He turned around and asked another question: "Did she really say that?"
"I haven't asked yet," Tim began to straighten his clothes, which had been dragged a little messily. He nodded very confidently, "but I think so."
"You're amazing." Didn't Dick just clap his hands twice as a gesture of applause?
"I know her very well." Even if he asked, the answer would probably be the same. Tim looked at him. Finally, he finished cleaning up and lay down again.
"Hmm..." Dick squinted his eyes and laughed, not knowing what he was thinking. "Well, you should dress up and meet people. Hahahaha..."
Smiling, he stood up and walked in the direction Damian had just left, leaving Tim alone.
"???" Tim sat up with a confused look on his face. He felt that this man was a little strange.
Today is a special day, as Bruce is finally going to announce the identity of his new son.
"So many people..." Even though everyone was dressed decently, it was still uncomfortable when there were too many people, and the air was filled with the smell of perfume.
Winnie shook her head. “You can’t look at it that way. Come with me.”
She took Ryushu's hand and led her to the wall.
Then they stopped for drinks and refreshments.
"Are you hungry?" Liu Shu glanced at the pile of glass wine glasses. Seeing such things, it was easy to imagine the situation when it was knocked over, which would definitely be a disaster.
"No, don't you think there are fewer people here?"
"Indeed, thank you."
"Hmph," Winnie put her hands on her hips, looking not at all ladylike, which was very inconsistent with her outfit today. "I know them very well. At first, no one would go in the direction of the food."
Liu Shu shook his head, "Look behind you."
"?" Winnie turned around in confusion.
"Hello." Tony greeted them with a smile.
"Mr. Stark!"
"It's Stark," Tony spread his hands, "Is my name hard to remember?"
"Sorry, haha..." Winnie took two steps back.
"You really came?" The situation in this banquet hall was becoming more and more complicated. Liu Shu saw Strange and Loki walking towards this side.
"Someone invited us and we agreed when we were free. It's a simple thing." Tony picked up the wine glass on the waiter's tray next to him and raised it towards her.
"Then have fun." Liu Shu felt that Winnie was looking at her with a pleading look, so she had no choice but to walk to a corner with Winnie.
When they were at a distance where Winnie thought they couldn't hear her, she calmed down.
"I was so scared, and you didn't even remind me." She took off her white silk gloves and patted her chest.
"I reminded you, but you didn't notice." Liu Shu put on a serious expression and pretended that he had really reminded you.
"Okay." Winnie seemed to believe it.
"I shouldn't have done that just now," she said with some regret, "Mr. Stark wouldn't say anything nonsense, would he?"
"Don't worry, he won't care. He might have forgotten about it." Liu Shu stared at the gloves on her hands. "Why are you wearing this?"
It seems very inconvenient and I can’t use my mobile phone.
"So I can throw it in someone's face during a duel." She looked up.
"Ah?" Liu Shu thought he had misheard.
"I'm just kidding," Winnie laughed. "Don't you think my dress today would be perfect with white gloves?"
"Yeah, it looks good." Liu Shu nodded. It was indeed beautiful. There was a small green gem on her gloves, which was the same color as the bow decoration on her fishtail skirt today.
It's just not suitable for fighting. She looked down at herself. She was wearing a knee-length dark green skirt. Because Winnie strongly recommended it, she also wore a crinoline. The kind with multiple layers of fabric stacked on top of each other was very suitable for running up and down, whether it was for fighting or escaping.
"Why don't you wear that pair? Although this one is nice too." Winnie saw her looking at the hem of her skirt, and she shook Liu Shu's hand.
"The heels are too high." High heels can be used as weapons, but they can also cause sprains, and Liu Shu prefers to use furniture as weapons.
"Okay, next time I'll find a few more kinds of flat shoes. No, they still have to have a little heel, otherwise it won't look good." Winnie thought about the future easily.
"Alas, we must separate," she said with a sigh.
"Hmm?" Why did it feel like a farewell? Liu Shu didn't understand.
"Look back. Over at the third window, there are a few people I need to greet. They'll keep me talking," Winnie whispered, a look of annoyance on her face. "I thought they wouldn't come."
He looked very reluctant. "Do I have to go?" Liu Shu took a quick glance as she instructed. The people over there were chatting happily, but he didn't know how much of that smile was real.
"Yes," Winnie put on her gloves and fixed her hair. "I'll come see you after the party. Fortunately, Mr. Stark is here. Someone must have seen him talking to you just now."
"Is there any problem?" Hearing her words, Liu Shu began to look for Tony in the crowd.
"Word will spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and soon everyone will know that he spoke to you. Everyone will respect you. After that, all you have to do is stand there and smile. Don't agree to anything anyone says."
"Can you not laugh?"
"Of course, then you just need to stand," Winnie patted her on the back, "I'm leaving."
"Goodbye." Why was it so tragic? How much did she hate her business partner?
Liu Shu raised her head slightly. She stood in the corner in a daze. It was almost time, why hadn't she seen Bruce yet?
"Hello, lovely..."
"..." People kept coming to chat with her. Fortunately, most people here were tactful and left automatically when they saw that Liu Shu didn't respond.
"Mr. Stark..."
But why is this person in front of her still talking? His words are meaningless. Liu Shu frowned. She was about to say that she was not interested, but she saw someone walking towards this side at a very fast speed.
"She has strict upbringing and doesn't talk to strangers." Tim finally slowed down his pace, appearing very calm.
"?" The person who approached looked puzzled. "If you don't talk to strangers... then how are we supposed to get to know them?"
"We got to know each other while chatting happily. Don't you have any friends?" Tim stood next to Liu Shu and seemed to be in the same group with her.
"Didn't you say she doesn't talk to strangers?"
"yes."
"So, are you having a good chat?"
"uh-huh."
“…” The man left because of his unreasonable behavior.
"No one in Arkham can understand your logic." Liu Shu finally couldn't help laughing.
"It doesn't matter. Doesn't this let him go?" Seeing her smile, Tim also curled up the corners of his mouth.
If we only look at the results, "Indeed," Liu Shu could only nod.
"There are too many annoying people here. I don't want to stay any longer. Luckily you're here," Tim extended his hand to her. "Would you like to dance with me later?"
Liu Shu looked at him. Perhaps because he was the host, he dressed particularly carefully today.
She shook her head, and then saw Tim's extremely lost eyes. He stared at Liu Shu without blinking, trying to make her change her mind.
"I don't know how," Liu Shu tilted his head, pressed his hand down, and then took his hands and suggested, "How about we set up some traps?"
"Organization?" After confirming it wasn't his fault, Tim felt that it didn't matter what he did. "Where?"
"Safe passage." Liu Shu looked out the window. It was very 'clean' outside, just like usual.
"There it is," Tim said with a smile.
Already have it?
"The rooftop?"
"Yes."
"Ventilation duct, underground?"
"Yeah." Tim nodded.
“…It’s quite complete.”
"certainly."
Liu Shu found that he was worrying in vain. Maybe they had already set up a tight net here and were just waiting for their prey.
"Even though I don't mind, if we keep holding hands like this, others will see us, and maybe even take a secret photo." Tim looked down at her.
"Yeah." She obediently let go of her hand. For some reason, Liu Shu felt that the person next to her seemed a little disappointed.
"Is Tony okay?" He was completely invisible. The place was too big, and many of the decorations were arranged like obstacles.
Was this intentional? Liu Shu rarely attended banquets, so he wasn't sure if this was normal.
"He's incredibly good," Tim said, looking unhappy. "If that Thor really landed here, we'd blacklist the entire Asgard."
"Thor? Landing?" That didn't sound good. Was Tony here to cause trouble for Bruce and the others? Liu Shu patted his shoulder. "You should have made all the arrangements. Thank you for your hard work."
"I have to work overtime just after getting up today..." Tim shook his head.
This was normal, Liu Shu smiled and did not comment.
"Bruce will be out in three minutes." He took a step forward and turned back. "I'll take you to the front."
