Chapter 90: It's over, foaming at the mouth
When they arrived at the place, Tommy got out of the car first and stood outside to light a cigar.

Candice was still sitting in the passenger seat. She first took out wet wipes from her bag to clean her smudged eyeliner, then took out her cosmetics and touched up her makeup in front of the mirror.

After dressing herself up beautifully again, she got out of the car, took Tommy's hand, and walked into the store together.

The dress had already been ordered.

Tommy is not very sensitive to fashion, even his own dressing is taken care of by Kim.

Candice's Chanel haute couture dress was also ordered by Kim at the counter.

Now that I put it on, I can see that Jin still has good taste.

At least from Tommy's point of view, Candice standing under the light was as beautiful as an angel.

"really?"

Candice's eyes narrowed as she smiled.

"Really, do I look like a liar?"

The bill had already been paid in advance, and under the envious gaze of the store clerk, Tommy took Candice away, checked the time, and drove to the cocktail party.

……

Many guests have already arrived at the cocktail party.

People gathered in groups of three or five, holding up their glasses, talking about the latest happenings in society, talking about business, and making jokes.

After Tommy arrived, he met a few people he knew. After greeting them and exchanging a few pleasantries, he took Candice to find the host of tonight's cocktail party.

Perhaps it would be more appropriate to say hostess.

"Ms. Fisk, it's great to meet you."

"me too."

Vanessa smiled.

Under the sincere offensive of Wilson Fisk, also known as Kingpin, she finally agreed to Kingpin's pursuit and became Kingpin's woman.

And today's cocktail party was hosted by Jin Bing for her.

On the one hand, it was the announcement that the two were getting engaged.

On the other hand, this is also an opportunity to hold a private auction to help her complete her painting sales and also to promote her gallery.

"Would you like to introduce me to the person next to you?"

"Just call me Candice."

Seeing Vanessa looking at her, Candice introduced herself and shook hands with her in a friendly manner.

Looking at the radiant Candice, Vanessa felt a little emotional.

Although Jin Bing is not that handsome, his temperament is a bit scary.

But no matter what, Jin Bing's love for her is real and he is sincere enough to her.

He is not as fickle as Mr. Vercetti in front of him.

It has only been a short period of time, and she has already met three female companions.

Although one of them was nominally Tommy's assistant, Vanessa didn't believe that nonsense.

Please, be professional when you cheat.

In this world, is there any assistant who would look at his boss like that?

Of course, how people like to play is their business.

She is just helping to sell paintings. She should just do her job well and not worry about so many things.

At this moment, Jin Bing, who had just finished his speech on the stage, glanced over here and strode over.

“There you are, Vanessa.

And Mr. Vercetti, thank you so much for coming.”

Jin Bing's attitude was very friendly, as if he was really happy from the bottom of his heart.

Tommy knew his identity a long time ago.

If it were someone else, like Candice standing next to him, they would be confused by Kingpin's friendly attitude and think that this guy was a good person.

Kingpin was able to thrive in high society as a gang leader, and his acting skills were definitely not worse than those famous Hollywood actors, and were even several times better.

After all, if an actor messes up his acting, the worst that can happen is that the movie will flop and he won't make any money.

But if the gang leader can't act, then things will be very serious, and he will be thrown into jail by the FBI in a matter of minutes. Not only that, he may even lose his life.

Kingpin looked to the side and gave a look to the person next to him. Vanessa, who received the order, immediately found an excuse to talk to Candidice. The two walked aside and talked slowly, leaving the two men enough space to talk.

Before leaving, Vanessa, who was a little thirsty, picked up a glass of champagne from the waiter's tray, sipped it, and quickly finished the whole glass.

……

"How's business those days?"

After the two women left, Jin Bing picked up a random topic and started talking.

"I've read the newspapers, and they've been full of news about the Krusty Krab these past few days."

"not bad."

Tommy said lightly.

The news that the owner of the White House came to eat the Krabby Patty has been a hot topic recently and has indeed brought a lot of traffic to the Krusty Krab.

Although he was a little surprised, it was also reasonable.

What's wrong with the president eating hamburgers? In a dozen years, there will still be presidents working in hamburger restaurants.

This is all normal.

He acted very relaxed, and it would be a lie for Jin Bing to say he wasn't envious.

It wasn't that he envied how profitable Tommy's business was.

Compared with the flour business, the current profit of the Krabby Patty is nothing but a drop in the bucket.

What he envied was that Tommy could easily whitewash himself through the Krusty Krab business, and also had a good social influence, and accomplished what he had always wanted to do.

When gangs get to the extreme, their ultimate goal is to clean up their mess and get out of trouble.

Jin Bing has made efforts before.

It's a pity that he seemed to have chosen the wrong place, and the few legitimate companies he opened have never been very successful.

However, his gang business has been thriving and is about to dominate the entire Hell's Kitchen.

That is, if you don't count those annoying ninjas from the Hand.

After going around in circles, Jin Bing finally got back to the point and spoke.

"I heard that the painting 'Hare in a Snowstorm' is in your hands, Mr. Vercetti. The painting means a lot to me. If you are willing to give it up, I am willing to pay double the price."

He and Vanessa first met because of this painting. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a token of their love.

The commemorative value was so great that he wanted to buy the painting back.

"Hey, why talk about money? Just consider it as an engagement gift from me to you."

With Tommy's current wealth, he doesn't care about those trivial things.

The reason why he bought the painting was to prove his strength to Jin Bing and to show that he knew Jin Bing's weaknesses, so that the other party would be afraid and dare not act recklessly.

Now it seems that his approach has worked.

At least after such a long time, Jin Bing didn't cause any trouble.

Also.

Although the negotiations between the two sides broke down, from another perspective, there is actually not much conflict of interest between the two, and there is no need to fight to the death for a dispute of pride.

Besides, even if he really wanted to deal with Kingpin, there was no need to rush.

Tommy estimated that although Kingpin's power was obviously stronger than the Russian gang, its essence was still a normal gangster force.

There is no mention of supernatural powers yet.

Even if he kills Kingpin now, he probably won't get any points.

It would be better to give this guy some more time to develop, and wait until the other party recruits a master like Bullseye, and then he will take action to eliminate Jin Bing.

To put it in gaming terms, what he did should be called "raising pigs."

Just at this moment, a guest not far away suddenly fell to the ground.

The guests didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that someone had fainted from drinking too much.

But soon, similar things happened one after another, and one guest after another fell to the ground, with signs of foaming at the mouth.

At this moment, things immediately became wrong, and the order of the entire scene began to become chaotic.
