Well, but then again, it’s still someone else’s car that’s more fun to drive.

Bai Ye is a man of integrity. If he borrows someone else's car, he will fill it up with gas every time after each use. He will not be willing to pull out the gas pump until the gas nozzle pops several times!

Chapter 254 When the pen price collapses, no one is a licker

Innocent

In the office of Snap.

Bai Ye filled his Maybach 62S with 98-grade gasoline until it was about to overflow, and then he pulled out the fuel nozzle.

Miranda Kerr murmured:

"The eldest young master is truly worthy of being the eldest young master!"

Well, obviously, based on Miranda Kerr's knowledge, who can afford to fill up with 98-octane gasoline, but Bai Ye is so arrogant and can waste it at will. Naturally, he is worthy of the style of a capitalist young master.

Bai Ye solved the problem of Miranda Kerr's car fuel consumption when she went out, resolved her concerns about her buttocks, and withdrew.

After taking a shower in Wendy's office, Bai Ye prepared to leave.

After leaving the office, Bai Ye happened to meet Evan Spiegel.

"Master, have you seen Ke'er?" Evan Spiegel saw Bai Ye and came up to ask with a smile, "She just came to the company to see me and brought some coffee for my colleagues. I didn't pay attention for a while and didn't know where she went with the coffee."

Snap is now a small social giant with a market value of nearly 10 billion US dollars. Its employees have been expanded for several rounds. The upper and lower floors of this building are all filled with Snap employees. The entire building is a fixed asset belonging to the Osborne family. Some of them are rented out, and some are used by themselves.

"No... that's not right." Bai Ye said casually, and then quickly reacted and said, "Ah, I just saw her at the door of the bathroom. From her appearance, it seems that she is not feeling well..."

"Is Ke'er feeling unwell?" Evan Spiegel immediately became nervous and asked, "Is it serious?"

"I'm fine..." Bai Ye replied subconsciously, and then in front of Evan Spiegel's confused eyes, he said awkwardly: "I mean, from my perspective, she should be fine. After all, my body is relatively strong, but girls are inevitably a little weaker, so it's hard for me to say."

"Ke'er has not been in good health to begin with. The situation must be very serious. No, I have to find her as soon as possible." Evan Spiegel said "I'm sorry, sir" and hurried away.

"Tsk!"

Bai Ye looked at Evan Spiegel and shook his head in disdain.

With his dog-licking behavior, it's no wonder that Miranda Kerr has taken advantage of him.

But Bai Ye couldn't feel any sympathy for him at all - when the pen price collapsed, no dog was innocent.

It is people like this who drive up housing prices, leaving Bai Ye with nothing but to look at the soaring housing prices in his previous life, feeling miserable and sighing in despair.

"You can survive if it's God's will, but you can't survive if it's your own will!"

Bai Ye chuckled and turned away.

As an employee, Evan Spiegel is quite capable, but he is not irreplaceable. Well... he can only respect the fate of others, let go of his desire to help others, and let him go.

Oh, looking at Miranda Kerr's appearance, she is destined to be a woman with a very strong ambition. She will definitely not be satisfied with what she has in front of her. Evan Spiegel cannot give her what she wants. Even if she eventually marries Evan Spiegel, it must be because of her master's mission, not because of love.

Evan Spiegel ran to the door of the women's restroom with an anxious look on his face and waited for a long time. He couldn't wait any longer and called Miranda Kerr.

Who knew that at this time, Miranda Kerr told him that she was looking for an empty room to rest.

"Ke'er, Ke'er!"

Evan Spiegel quickly came over and found that Miranda Kerr was indeed pale and her body was trembling. It was obvious at a glance that she was weak:

"How are you? Are you sick? Why is the problem so serious?"

Miranda Kerr: "I'm fine, just low blood sugar, a minor problem."

"You're in this state, and you're not sick?" Evan Spiegel said angrily, "I'd better take you to the hospital for a checkup."

"Silly boy, you are an Internet giant now, how can you put aside your work for such a small matter as mine? Not to mention that Snap is in the process of acquiring Twitter, and there must be a lot of things that need to be done by you as the CEO!" Miranda Kerr stroked Evan Spiegel's cheek and said gently, "I'm fine, you go to work first, I just ate some candy to replenish my sugar, and I should be fine after a rest."

"Ke'er, don't be stubborn. With your physical condition like this, how can I have the mind to take care of work?" Evan Spiegel said anxiously.

Why did you tell this person that you don't want to transfer?

Miranda Kerr was furious.

If she was really sent to the hospital by Evan Spiegel, and the doctor said that she was overworked due to frictional heat, so her body was overly exhausted, what should she do?

Isn't Evan Spiegel giving her a difficult problem?

then.

Miranda Kerr's face immediately darkened: "I told you to go and do your work and not bother me when I'm not feeling well. Don't you understand what I said?"

Seeing Miranda Kerr angry, Evan Spiegel immediately backed down and whispered, "Kerr, am I not caring about you?"

"Then let me tell you clearly now that I don't like your concern, okay?" Miranda Kerr said impatiently.

"Yes, of course."

Evan Spiegel was completely scared. He said a few more words, asking Miranda Kerr to take care of her health, and then walked away, looking back every step of the way.

"What a scumbag!" Miranda Kerr said speechlessly, "I treated you nicely, but you took advantage of me... Hehe, if the young master hadn't told me to do so, do you think I would really be so gentle and concerned about your work problems?"

Well, yes, the reason why Miranda Kerr stroked Evan Spiegel's cheek was because Bai Ye had assigned her a task as a master - to tell her not to break up with Evan Spiegel too quickly, otherwise he would feel that it was meaningless.

"If it weren't for the fact that the young master likes young women, how could I be willing to continue to care about you?" Miranda Kerr snorted.

……

New York, Manhattan, Midtown Circle Financial Corporation's headquarters.

In the chairman's office.

The atmosphere was depressing and gloomy, as if water could drip from it.

"Is everyone here?"

Alexandra, one of the five fingers of the Hand and Society, asked a useless nonsense, because now there are only four fingers left in the Hand and Society, and there are only four people here. It can be confirmed at a glance—— She was just dizzy due to the recent pressure brought by Osborne, and she forgot the rules.

The four fingers present did not laugh at Alexandra's mistake, but also did not say anything in response because they were also very troubled.

Even though the Hand and the Council have now gotten rid of three directors of the Osborne Group and seem to have the upper hand, only they themselves know how difficult life is facing Osborne's all-round suppression.

First of all, all the accounts in their hands and in their clubs were temporarily frozen by the Department of Homeland Security in the name of national security, causing them to lose a large amount of funds. All financial activities had to go underground, and all the money laundering work that they had been busy with for many years was wiped out.

Secondly, all the bases of the Hand are facing inspections and crackdowns by the Osborne Group. Now, 80% of the Hand’s bases in New York have been wiped out, and their power has been greatly damaged.

Besides, Osborn has already begun to explore the secrets of the building where the keel is buried. Once Osborn discovers that there is a secret of immortality underneath, then as far as the official power controlled by Osborn is concerned, what role will the Handhe Society have? It is not impossible for Osborn to transfer the National Guard of the United States to garrison nearby.

With all these factors, the situation that Shouhehui is facing now is not good.

"Now that everyone is here, please express your opinions. Now it is a matter of life and death for us." Alexandra rubbed his face with his hands, forced himself to cheer up a little, and asked.

"I don't have any opinion." Sowanda said with lingering fear: "When I just returned to New York, I was targeted by Osborn's men. They sent five firemen to surround me. If it weren't for my men who fought desperately to stop them, perhaps my body would have become Osborn's trophy now!"

Sowanda is the finger of the Hand in charge of African affairs. He is a local warlord in Africa and also runs the Hand's killer platform in Africa. He is very powerful, but he never expected that he would be almost killed as soon as he returned to New York, the headquarters of the Hand.

"My laundry detergent factory was completely wiped out by Osborne's men." Mrs. Gao sighed and said, "The loss is at least $10 billion. In addition, I lost a lot of manpower and my channels were completely cut off. The loss is immeasurable. Osborne... I really can't afford to offend him."

Mrs. Gao, a Chinese descent, has been in charge of the laundry detergent business in Southeast Asia. She also has a large territory in New York. She is also a giant in Hell's Kitchen. Even the current New York underworld king, Kingpin, used to be Mrs. Gao's younger brother. However, as Kingpin's power grew, he was able to break free from Mrs. Gao's control and became a powerful force on his own.

Even so, Jin Bing still maintained respect for Mrs. Gao, instead of devouring her like he did with other old acquaintances in order to expand his own power.

"My business is in Japan, so the impact is not that big," Murakami said. "But this matter cannot continue like this. It must be resolved as soon as possible, otherwise I will not be able to do many businesses outside of Japan. So no matter how this matter is resolved, it must be resolved."

"Alexandra, this is all your fault." Sowanda suddenly accused, "If you hadn't angered Osborn, we wouldn't be in this dilemma now. You almost killed me."

"We are now facing life and death, and Sowanda, you are still in the mood to engage in internal strife at this time?" Alexandra laughed angrily and said, "I also wanted to coexist peacefully with Osborn at that time. As long as he was willing to sell the building to me, I would give him the Midtown Circle Financial Company. But the little fox born by Norman Osborn is not so easy to deal with. He won't do it! Then what do you want me to do? Give up the dragon bone? Haha, if you want to give up, it's not too late now. As long as we put aside everything in the open and hide in the gutter for a few years, then even if Osborn is powerful, he can't kill us all, right? Once the limelight is over, we will change our appearance, and we can still do what we should do. We have encountered strong enemies over the years, isn't that how we got through it?"

Sowanda, Mrs. Gao, and Murakami all fell silent.

The fact is, there is no way they can give up the keel.

Because the dragon bones stored in the hands and the body are almost used up, if they can't find a replacement, then even they will be of no use.

In other words, their aging bodies may lead to natural death at any time.

Could they be willing?

I have lived for hundreds of years, and the longer I live, the more afraid I am of death.

The four of them sat around the round table in silence.

The atmosphere became increasingly depressing.

It seemed as if they were all waiting for someone to speak first.

"I'm the youngest here, so I'll have to say the unpleasant things. I think we should make peace with Osborne." Sowanda said with a smile that was uglier than crying.

The depressing atmosphere dissipated in an instant.

Murakami stretched his muscles and said, "Sowanda, it sounds good to say that we want to make peace with Osborne, but does Osborne want to make peace with us? You know, we have already killed three directors of Osborne."

"They are just some directors, not members of the Osborne family." Sowanda said, "There is room for easing this, right?"

"If Osborne doesn't protect their directors, will Osborne still have any prestige in the capital circle in the future?" Murakami said, "Once the Osborne Group takes action, even Norman Osborne can't just step on the brakes and make this super heavy truck stop suddenly, right?"

"Under normal circumstances, of course it's impossible, but we have bargaining chips in our hands!" Madam Gao said while leaning on a cane, "Now in this world, only the five of us... the four fingers and Kunlun know the secret of the dragon bone, and Kunlun obviously won't leak this information to Osborn, so we become Osborn's only choice. In other words, if we are willing to share the secret of immortality with Osborn, there may be a chance that we can turn enemies into friends and share the mystery of the dragon bone."

"It's a good idea." Alexandra listened for a while and said, "But how can you guarantee that Osborn will not keep the secret of the dragon bone to himself, but share it with us? Given Norman Osborn's personality, unless he has no other choice, he will definitely choose to keep it all to himself when he can."

Madam Gao said, "At worst, the four of us can split up and choose one person to negotiate with Osborn. If Osborn really wants to tear his face off and take the benefits of the dragon bone for himself, then we can simply announce the secret of the dragon bone to the public. By then, immortality will attract many big sharks. Even Osborn can't withstand it, right?"

The four fingers discussed it and decided to send someone to try to make peace with Osborn first. Considering the current situation, they couldn't get away from the Hand because Osborn's operations were frantically digging into their bases and looking for them every day. If Osborn's Extremis Legion found the four of them, then they would be dead. With the military strength of the Hand, they really couldn't confront the Extremis Legion head-on.

The safety of these four people is still the most important, everything else can be put aside.

One of the Five Fingers has already died, and they will never allow themselves to be the next.

In this way, Ji Gangxin was sent out to find Bai Ye and prepare to convey the news that the Hand and the Society were asking for peace with Osborn.

At the entrance of a high-end nightclub, Ji Gangxin brought a few ninja subordinates and prepared to meet Bai Ye who was having fun in the nightclub.

However, just as they approached the nightclub and had no time to go in, they were blocked by a group of flaming men that descended from the sky.

"Wait!" Ji Gangxin's face changed drastically. Seeing that the situation was not good, he immediately wanted to shout, "I am..."

However, before Ji Gangxin could open his mouth, he was slapped in the face. The high temperature of nearly 3000 degrees Celsius burned through his face, causing him to let out a shrill howl.

Next, a dozen or so fire warriors were easily killed by the desperate warriors like autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

"Captain, it seemed that before they died, they were looking at us, as if they wanted to say something. Did we kill the wrong people?" A team member touched his head and asked.

"I didn't kill the wrong person!" Gao Jin said calmly, "We have an undercover agent in the Hand and Peace Society. We have received news that the Hand and Peace Society intends to take the opportunity to assassinate the young master under the guise of seeking peace. So you must remember that if you encounter a member of the Hand and Peace Society who asks for peace, do not show mercy and kill them immediately, because they have ulterior motives."

"So that's how it is, I understand!"

The silly team member nodded vigorously and said:

"Don't worry, Captain. I will never let go of any member of the Hand and Society who approaches the young master under any pretext."

Midtown Circle Financial Corporation.

Four fingers have received the message.

Alexandra: "Ji Gangxin just died like that?"

Madam Gao: "Maybe he was dealt with by Osborne Jr.'s security team before he could reveal his intentions."

Sowanda: "So what should we do now?"

Murakami: "Why don't we just send someone over there again? This time, give them instructions in advance and let them tell us their purpose in time."

In less than half an hour, Four Fingers received news again that the personnel they sent this time were also killed.

The four of them looked at each other, and unwillingly sent more people to seek peace.

It happened again.

No matter how dumb the four fingers were, they knew what was going on. It was clearly Osborn's intention. They wanted to fight to the death with the Hand.

"Fuck it! Is Osborn getting ahead of us? Does he really think we are afraid of him?"

Sowanda slammed the table and left.

a long time.

But seeing that no one met his requirements, he could only sit down awkwardly.

Well, now the four fingers are indeed a little afraid of Osborn.

"Now that things have come to this, it seems that it is impossible for us and Osborn to resolve the situation so easily." Murakami said with a stern face, "I don't want to fight Osborn to the end, but since they want us to die, we are not easy to deal with! Let's implement plan B."

Alexandra: "Okay, go to plan B."

Mrs. Gao: "I agree."
