Chapter 143: Don’t be afraid of thieves stealing, just be afraid that thieves will miss you
After speeding all the way, Tommy soon drove to Candice's house.

He had just opened the door when Candice, who heard the sound, rushed over immediately. She looked him up carefully with her beautiful eyes and asked nervously, "What's going on?"

"Tommy, you're finally back. How are you? Are you injured anywhere?"

Her face was full of concern and her eyes were filled with worry.

This is not a performance, but her true feelings from the heart.

It has to be said that when she first followed Tommy, she might have had some different ideas, thinking that Tommy's financial strength and social status might help her modeling career.

But time is the best catalyst.

As the two spent more and more time together, Candice's feelings gradually became sincere, and there was no room for anyone else in her heart.

This is what is meant by "love grows over time".

"It's okay, don't you know what I'm capable of?"

Tommy casually struck a bodybuilding pose, showing off his strong body to prove that he was fine.

Seeing that Candice was still a little worried, he simply stopped explaining and carried Candice back to the bedroom and closed the door.

It turns out that actions speak louder than words.

After a fierce battle, Candice finally stopped asking questions and lay on the bed with a flushed face and blurry eyes, her limbs trembling slightly from the revelry just now.

It took her a long time to calm down. She took a deep breath and told the person beside her about her recent experiences.

“The jewelry store is doing very good business, with many celebrities coming to shop.

By the way, Vanessa was here last weekend too."

"Oh? What does she buy jewelry for?"

Hearing the familiar name, Tommy paid a little more attention.

"She was poisoned, wasn't she? Is she back now?"

Tommy seldom cares about matters that do not concern him.

If Vanessa hadn't helped him sell paintings and was the woman of the gangster boss Kingpin, he might not even remember who that woman was.

“It’s been a long time coming, and Vanessa and Wilson are getting engaged next week.

The reason I came to the store this time was to order a wedding ring."

Candice said, her eyes sparkling.

If she said she wasn't envious of Vanessa being able to walk down the aisle with her beloved, she would be lying.

Of course, she also understood that she couldn't even think about such a thing.

Being able to maintain her current life is enough for her.

So, she was smart and didn't even try to test the subject, but just changed the subject.

"Vanessa sent me an invitation, hoping you could attend, and she said it was her husband's idea."

"Well..."

Tommy pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"Of course, you and I will attend together then."

As a middleman, Vanessa once helped him close a deal worth hundreds of millions of dollars and sold many world-famous paintings.

For this reason alone, he should show up at the wedding and at least give a small gift.

Moreover, this invitation was not simply issued by Vanessa, but also with the instructions of Kingpin.

This made Tommy curious and he wanted to find out what Kingpin was doing.

"Maybe I should research this beforehand?"

He didn't pay much attention to Kingpin.

Because the two sides are not the same people at all.

While Kingpin was still struggling in the underworld and dreaming of building his criminal empire, Tommy had already successfully cleaned himself up and transformed himself from a former Italian mafia boss into a well-known figure in the industry, becoming the most famous business star of the year. What's the point of being in the underworld?
Even if he dominates the entire underground world of New York, he still has to keep a low profile and be troubled by a bunch of superheroes.

Moreover, in terms of exploitation capabilities, gangsters cannot compare to capitalists.

Especially the latter, they don't need to hide anything, they can exploit others openly and legitimately, and they can also make a lot of money, which is something that gangs cannot do.

Therefore, Tommy didn't take Kingpin's invitation seriously.

To put it bluntly, there is still a huge gap between the two.

This not only refers to the forces on both sides, but more to the strength of the two people.

Full of muscles, with super fighting skills and amazing strength...

Even among the ranks of street heroes, Kingpin's strength can be considered quite good, at least he has no problem fighting with Daredevil.

But compared to Tommy, Kingpin's fighting power is totally not enough.

He doesn't even need super powers. Even just his amazing marksmanship is enough to give Jin Bing a hard time.

And this is also his greatest confidence, the reason why he dares to go to the banquet openly.

If Jin Bing dared to cause trouble, he could crush him to death with just a flick of his fingers.

Of course, Kingpin wouldn't be that stupid.

"Tommy, Tommy, did you hear what I just said?"

While he was thinking, he heard Candice's voice beside him, shaking his arm as she spoke.

Tommy came back to his senses and said casually, "You mean Vanessa invited us to the engagement ceremony?"

"Oh, you weren't even listening."

Candice noticed that Tommy was distracted, her face puffed up with anger, but she still repeated what she had said before.

“I was just talking about work.

Just a few days ago, I received an invitation from Victoria's Secret. The organizers hope that I can participate and promised to let me become a Victoria's Secret Angel in this year's show. "

With Tommy's support, Candice became famous earlier than originally thought.

In fact, the modeling industry is just like that.

No matter what you look like, even if you are extremely ugly, as long as you have connections, money and power behind you, you can still stand in the center of the biggest stage.

It is easier for people like Candice, who have excellent qualities in all aspects, to become famous.

Getting an invitation from Victoria's Secret is a natural thing.

Candice did not accept Victoria's Secret's invitation because she knew very well what Tommy was thinking.

It was precisely because she understood Tommy's thoughts that she spent money to have Victoria's Secret customize several sets of sexy lingerie.

And this was the surprise she prepared for Tommy.

"How's it going? Do you like it?"

It took her several minutes to put on the lingerie-style wedding dress, and she even matched it with a pair of black high heels with red soles. She walked with enchanting steps, showing off her figure to the fullest.

She can't go to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, but it's the same at home.

Tommy did not make a direct comment, but once again showed his true thoughts through his actions.

Soon, an elegant duet was heard again in the bedroom.

……

a few days later.

Triskelion Headquarters.

SHIELD base.

What Tommy didn't know was that while he was having fun outside, his profile photo appeared in front of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D.
