I, Silver Superman, have been upgraded to Omniscient and Omnipotent.

Self-healing sounds like it means recovering from injuries, like pills. Speaking of which, Copport is the king of the underworld; how could an ordinary person like him be involved with a mob boss?

Just as she was about to open her mouth and ask for an explanation, Ye Ritian noticed her doubts. He didn't intend to explain, and used a will to sway her away.

In an instant, Selena shuddered and forgot about Ye Ritian's unusual behavior. She had no suspicions. How could such a gentle and kind boy be involved in organized crime? She smiled and nodded in agreement, "Okay, please wait a moment."

He then took out his phone and went to the balcony to make a call.

the other side.

Seeing that they had finished talking, Lillian took the opportunity to walk over enthusiastically and said to Ye Ritian...

"Ye Ritian, I... like you."

This time, she didn't intend to hold hands; she went straight for a kiss.

Ye Ritian frowned. This couldn't go on. He sent a thought through her and instantly knocked the Poison Ivy Woman unconscious. He then used his telekinetic power to control her body, making her float to the bed in the room. She would be fine after a good night's sleep.

. . . . . . .

Soon, Selena finished her phone call. As she passed her room, she saw her sister Lillian, who had just woken up, suddenly lying in bed fast asleep. Selena frowned slightly, puzzled, and muttered to herself...

"What the hell? Why is he sleeping in the middle of the day? Oh well, it's good to take a nap so I can be alone with Ye Ritian, hehe."

Selena approached Ye Ritian, looking at him tenderly, increasingly pleased with her appearance. However, she quickly frowned and said worriedly, "I've already made arrangements for you. They're very interested in your things and are free now. They've decided to invite us to the Iceberg Restaurant. Do you need to prepare?"

After a pause, Selena continued, "I need to remind you, they are not good people."

She looked down on those gangs and disdained associating with them. Her connection with the gangs was merely for money laundering; in reality, they all went their separate ways.

Although she was a female thief, she only stole from the rich. Even if the rich lost a little something, it wouldn't affect their lives. She would sell the stolen goods to help orphans. Although she was dressed in black, her heart was cleaner and a little whiter than those gangsters.

Ye Ritian countered, "Then do I look like a good person to you?"

You probably have no idea how many people I've killed, or how many gods I've slaughtered.

These words prompted Selena to give Ye Ritian a serious look. She stood with her arms crossed, carefully examining Ye Ritian from head to toe, paying particular attention to a certain part of his lower body. She licked her lips, smiling alluringly, exuding charm and allure.

This scene made Ye Ritian frown, thinking to himself, "This is why I don't like American girls. They're too open-minded. I should erase their memories later!"

Selena looked delighted. She thought that Ye Ritian was so strong and tall, he must be very powerful in bed, and he seemed to be a virgin. There weren't many men like him. She said coldly.

"You don't look like a bad person at all; you're definitely a good one." Selena couldn't help but feel a little excited, her mind filled with wicked thoughts. She was determined to win him over sooner or later and taste the forbidden fruit.

Ah!

Ye Ritian smiled but didn't say anything.

This scene sent chills down Selena's spine, and she couldn't help but shiver.

Why does that smile seem a little off? Did I guess wrong?

Selena said, "Let's go, don't keep them waiting!"

After saying that, he took the key, opened the door, and prepared to lock it.

"it is good!"

Ye Ritian followed closely behind.

Selena then took Ye Ritian's arm, and the two walked down the stairs side by side like a couple, chatting and laughing. Selena did most of the talking, while Ye Ritian listened.

Once he was sure she had no intention of taking advantage of him further, Ye Ritian finally relaxed his brows and let her take his arm as she pleased. The two of them hailed a taxi and headed straight for their destination.

……

Iceberg Restaurant is located in the most bustling area of ​​downtown Gotham City. It is a special place because it belongs to the infamous Penguin, a figure feared by many in Gotham.

On the surface, this is a popular little restaurant, but in reality, it is a front used by the Penguin to cover up a series of illegal activities such as money laundering in the underworld, in order to deceive people.

It must be admitted that Penguin is very bold and smart. No one would have thought that he would open a money laundering place in the heart of a bustling city. The person in charge knows very well that the most dangerous place is the safest place.

The restaurant has three basement levels.

A group of men dressed in elegant tailcoats sat there, smoking cigars, drinking red wine, and accompanied by women.

What draws the most attention is the central position, where a man who is only 1.4 meters tall sits, and everyone revolves around him.

He was dressed in a black tuxedo and wore a black magician's hat. Even indoors, he carried a black umbrella, which looked quite strange.

He had a hooked nose that looked sharp, and his face was unusually pale. Combined with his obese body, he looked like an oversized penguin.

This man is none other than Wald Cobblestone. Those familiar with him know that he also has another identity: the famous Penguin of Gotham City.

In Gotham, the people who are universally acknowledged as not to be messed with include Batman, the Joker, and the Penguin.

Because the Penguin controls a third of the underworld, he is not only rich but also very smart, so he has gathered a lot of people under him, and those who offend him usually do not have a good ending.

“Penguin, do you really believe what that woman Selena says? She’s just a pretty thief!” Burn Gorman said.

He is the leader of the Bourne Gang, with a large number of subordinates. He is considered a powerful mob boss in Gotham, and he is also friends with the Penguin.

Generally, he lets Penguin launder his dirty money. It's not only safe and fast, but the amount of money involved is also relatively low, at least within his acceptable range. Compared to other money laundering groups, Penguin is undoubtedly the most comfortable partner, so he is happy to cooperate with Penguin.

Bourne said that entirely because he disliked Selena. They were quite familiar with Selena, since she often came here to ask the Penguin for help in disposing of stolen goods, so she had come to the right person.

In Gotham, only the Penguin has the ability to get rid of stolen goods in a very short time. Not only is he efficient and reliable, but he is also extremely safe. That's why Selena often comes here to see the Penguin, so they are naturally familiar with her.

She was a very beautiful woman. Even though these men were surrounded by beautiful women, as the saying goes, what you can't have is the most attractive.

Selena's mature charm fascinated them.

But Selena is no ordinary woman.

She's like a rose with thorns, dangerous. Provoking her isn't a good choice; they don't want to wake up to find their little brother gone.

Bourne had been rejected by Selena before, and he couldn't do anything about it, so he held a grudge and was very annoyed with her. Afterwards, he didn't dwell on it too much, otherwise, others would laugh at him for lacking manners. In the world of business, one still needs to consider face. If he can't get the woman he wants, he'll just move on to the next one.

“Bourne, we all know what kind of woman Selena is. She’s shrewd and intelligent. I believe she wouldn’t joke about something like this,” the Penguin said with a smile.

Bourne frowned: "But..."

Surely no one really thinks an ordinary woman can get away with being involved with our gang unscathed? Unless she's powerful or has powerful connections, ordinary people wouldn't have the chance to get close to them or have a conversation with them.

The penguin calmly replied, "Don't worry, I'll take your concerns into account. I'm very interested in the person she's talking about, and what he has."

Chapter 208 Selena's Heartbreaking Cries

After a pause, the penguin smiled and said, "Perhaps we'll gain a new friend because of this."

However, given his face, his smile always looked distorted, strange, and in the nascent stages of madness.

Although he was smiling, his eyes were filled with endless desolation and bitterness, telling the story of a man with a lot to say. The Penguin was not born a king; he rose step by step to his current supreme position. Only he himself knows the bitterness he has endured...

……quiet!

The penguin's words plunged the atmosphere into an eerie moment. Everyone reacted with varying expressions, their faces showing strangeness and disdain, but no one stood up to refute the penguin's words.

Whether or not to make friends depends on whether Selena's claims are true or false. A self-healing pill? Just from the name, you know it's some kind of high-tech drug—a drug that heals injuries or mental functions, causing cells to divide rapidly and thus accelerating metabolism, achieving the effect of regeneration and the growth of new skin…

This is something you can't buy on the market. If her friend really has this amazing thing, they will definitely cooperate and become friends.

They are gangsters, and making money is what interests them. Expanding their territory, recruiting henchmen, running venues, spreading their influence, bribing officials, etc., are their core interests. Making friends is secondary, but not just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can befriend them.

Money is the core of everything. The saying "money makes the world go round" applies to any country. We buy the drugs and then secretly resell them at double the price. If we can make them money, then we're all friends. If we can't make them money, then sorry, we don't know each other. Before my gang decides to kill you, you'd better get lost.

In fact, the banquet was almost over, and everyone should have left, but none of them left because of a phone call from the woman with the thorns, which made them change their minds.

If Selena's words are true, then a path to wealth is laid out before them. No one would complain about having too much money. Running a gang requires a significant amount of expenditure; it's no exaggeration to say that 80% of gang members are in it for the money. At this point, anyone who leaves would be a fool. Everyone wants a piece of the pie. As gangsters, their vision and insight are ruthless and decisive, their advanced judgment allowing them to seize every hard-won opportunity.

Despite Bourne's claims of distrusting Selena and his apparent impatience, he remained firmly seated in his chair, his backside soldered to the floor. The Penguin glanced at him dismissively with a smile, saying nothing more; everyone understood the unspoken agreement.

If it's fake, they can just wait in vain. But if it's real, then it's a golden opportunity that won't come again. Now, the door to wealth is open to them. Whether they can seize it or not is up to them.

…………

A taxi stopped in front of the restaurant. Ye Ritian got out of the car, and Selena paid the fare while the driver looked on with surprise.

The driver took the money, his face full of disbelief. This young couple had taken his taxi and were walking intimately together. He had assumed it was the man who had pursued the woman and was paying, but it turned out to be the woman who had pursued the man. He said with envy and jealousy, "Hmph! This guy is so lucky, he's actually being kept by such a beautiful woman..."

Selena covered her mouth and chuckled, laughing heartily as she teased the driver, "I also want to keep him as a sugar daddy, but he won't accept me... Sigh!"

Ye Ritian glanced at the two of them indifferently, said nothing, slowly raised his head to look at the Iceberg Restaurant, thinking to himself that they had finally arrived. He lifted his foot and walked over unhurriedly, and Selena hurriedly followed.

Selena caught up with Ye Ritian first and whispered in his ear, "These are all gangsters here, watch your words. I'll protect you later. When we're negotiating business, I'll help you ask for a higher price and sell it for a higher fee. Of course, you have to make sure you really have that self-healing pill that can restore your injuries..."

Ye Ritian nodded calmly, "Yes, don't worry."

Seeing this, Selena was finally satisfied. What if Ye Ritian couldn't produce what he said? Wouldn't she have tricked the gangsters? Getting involved with this group was a headache for her too.

"Hmph! Why didn't I ask him to show me how powerful the pills were? He just talked the talk, and I believed him without a second thought. It's all because of his damn charm that he bewitched me!" Selena cursed inwardly, looking at Ye Ritian with resentful eyes.

Ye Ritian, ignoring her feelings, was pondering whether to conjure up some pills to make a deal. He then couldn't help but burst out laughing, thinking, "I'm here to settle Portland, not to make a fortune. What kind of deal is this…?"

He chuckled to himself, shook his head, and walked steadily toward the Iceberg Restaurant.

Selena, standing to the side, wore red-soled high heels. With her slender waist, beautiful face, and graceful figure, she exuded charisma and attracted the attention of countless men along the way, especially with a handsome man by her side.

At this moment, Ye Ritian suddenly exuded an aura of supreme majesty. He descended to earth like a true god, bathing in endless divine charm that was awe-inspiring.

His eyes were so vast and profound, and his face was naturally perfect and flawless, as if this was the most handsome face in the world. He was incredibly handsome.

Selena was the first to notice the strange scene, being the closest to him. Her expression changed, her face became serious, and she turned to look at Ye Ritian in surprise. Suddenly, she felt a sense of unfamiliarity with him. The feeling emanating from him was like that of a god, unapproachable.

The other person was of indescribable nobility, possessing the bloodline of a beautiful, noble, and elegant swan, while she herself was of the bloodline of an ugly duckling, forming a stark contrast. She parted her lips slightly and exclaimed, "Ye Ritian, you... how come your aura suddenly seems to have changed completely?"

Selena became completely incoherent. Ye Ritian's aura grew stronger and stronger, radiating a powerful pressure. A huge sense of suffocation silently surged in, yet it was real to feel. Was this something a normal person could possess? At this moment, she looked at Ye Ritian with eyes that were no longer those of an ordinary person.

Are you really human? Or rather, an ordinary person?
