Chapter 409 408. Pay attention to your image

   Seeing the filthy stench of the black street, the hardship and distress of the poor, and then entering the luxurious banquet in the Shangcheng District, Lu Zie felt that it was more different than traveling through a foreign land.

In the brightly lit hall, some of the men and women in gorgeous clothes were singing on the dance floor, some were sitting on the sofa and chatting, and some were standing on the terrace, holding expensive cigarettes and cigars, vomiting clouds and fog. .

On the dining table in the banquet hall, a wide variety of foods are on display, such as suckling pigs with crispy skin, tender steaks on iron plates, grilled chickens, fried fish, etc., although they are not as good as Lujuan. It’s so exquisite and exquisite in style in the era, but in an environment like the waste city, these foods can definitely be called luxurious and luxurious.

  "So much to eat, can I eat whatever I want?"

  Xia looked at the table of food, and felt that even her unsatisfied soul had flowed from the corner of her mouth.

  "Pay attention to your image."

  Drizzt also knew that he must be unable to persuade Xia, this foodie would eventually drown in the sea of ​​food, forgetting the purpose of his trip.

  However, he also found that many guests were sitting around the table, including a member of the Catania family, the eldest brother Peter of this generation.

   "Peter Catania, he is more like a gourmet than a gangster. He likes food and has no interest in family business. You can monitor him by eating."

   Drizzt said to Shia.

  Xia’s eyes have turned into the shape of a roast chicken, and I don’t know if she understands it.

  As soon as Drizzt let go, Xia immediately rushed to the dining table. The dining tray took food as high as a small mountain. She sat two tables away from the big gangster and devoured her, which caused many people's surprise.

  No one bothered her.

  Most of the people attending this kind of charity banquet are rich people who have money to spend and need to make donations to satisfy their spiritual aspirations. Everyone is very polite and will not speak harshly to unfamiliar and beautiful girls.

  Even if she eats it, she can’t see where it goes well compared to a pig.

  Lu stumbled through such scenes several times and knew what to do with him.

  He and Drizzt took a glass of wine alone, pretending to say hello to everyone else, while Drizzt was giving him some science about the Catania family.

  The generation of the Catania family now has two men and three women.

  Big Brother Peter is there to taste food and wine, and deal with other people who are flattering by the way.

Corsica, the second child, is the person most likely to inherit the position of the family. He is cruel and has a high fighting strength. He once took the lead in merging with other gangs and killed more than a dozen people. He is located next to the dance floor and surrounded by many people. he.

  The eldest daughter, Carol, has a gentle personality and teaches in a school in Shangcheng District. She did not attend the dinner today.

  The second daughter, Talia, helps the family business with a shrewd approach. She has a tense relationship with her second brother and dances with women on the dance floor. She is the woman in suit and trousers.

  The three daughters, Madame Martina, likes drama. After marrying a drama actor, she often mixes in various evening parties. She is a celebrity.

  Madame Martina was not seen at the banquet, only his husband, who was chatting with a few potbellied businessmen, behaved ostentatiously.

  Lu Zan looked around, but he had already forgotten his name.

  He simply distinguished the few people present into gourmets, second elder brother, man-in-law, and Mrs. Martina.

  As for why only Martina deserves to have a name, it's because Drizzt mentions it too many times.

And their father, the real master of the Catania family, the godfather Coneão, usually does not attend such banquets, or he only holds a cat in a room in this banquet hall and listens to other people’s requests and let them Kiss the ring on his finger.

  There are as many people who want to please him as many people want to kill him.

Suddenly, the music on the dance floor changed and a certain classical melody sounded. Lu Zin looked over. On the stage in front of the band, in front of the microphone, a woman wearing a cheongsam that fits the curve of her body smiled. Then sing.

   "I don't know why, sorrow surrounds me, I pray every day, quickly drive away the loneliness of love."

  Her voice is full of emotions, tactfully and low-back, with old music, it is easy to immerse people in it.

   "Why is she?"

  Drizzt was taken aback, he saw the singer and stopped.

  Lu Yi glanced, the singer was wearing a graceful appearance, and his appearance was quite beautiful, and with a classic charm, he didn't know where he was higher than the celebrity beauties in his own world.

   "Is she the singer you mentioned?"

  Lu Yi was curious.

   "Yes, Ms. Charlotte, a real singer."

  Drizzt sorted his clothes subconsciously.

   "Unexpectedly, they invited her."

  "Are you going to relive the past?"

  Lu Jie glanced at the female singer, at least in Lu Jie's view, she had no strange body structure, at least she was a normal person.

   "No, no more."

  Tris turned his face especially, as if suddenly having weakness, and as if suddenly having armor.

  The charity dinner officially started in ten minutes.

  It was the second brother who made the speech. Lu Zan saw that Stone, or Stone, was standing in the shadow behind the second brother. He was like a shadow, observing everyone in secret.

". I hope to build a beautiful new abandoned city. We can eliminate poverty, hunger and crime. We can improve the living environment of the workers in the factories. The air in the black street can no longer smell bad and everyone in the abandoned city can be eliminated. Can get their own happiness"

Brother    speaks impassionedly. He is very talented as an orator. The pause in language, intonation, and his own body movements can well arouse the emotions of the audience.

When he mentioned that factory workers were suffering from diseases due to overwork and polluted air, there were still people present wiping their tears, and when he talked about the threats outside the abandoned city, the terrible monsters and rat people, there were guests. Show the emotion of fear.

   Had it not been for Lu Zie that he was the leader of the gang, he would have almost believed it.

Then, when the donation started, Lu Yi vaguely remembered that the meal below Drizzt’s house was only 10 or 20 per person, but the donations here were all tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and I don’t know how many factory workers could eat this money. Last meal.

"It's all fake, saying it's charity, but it's actually forcing donations. Many small entrepreneurs who open factories or run shops have to donate money with those big guys, and the money they get in the end will be returned by those big guys. The rest will be shared with the gang three to seven, and what can be left to the workers is not saved."

  Drizzt whispered beside Lu Yi.

   "Let's go find Mrs. Martina."

  He found a member of the gang and explained his intentions.

  The man took Drizzt and Lu to the door of a lounge outside the banquet hall.

   Two tall thugs were stationed at the door. They glanced at Drizzt and opened the door of the lounge.

   Originally, Lu Yi was still curious about the attitude of Madina, who has a unique habit.

   But when the door opened, everything was broken.

In that room, on the soft sofa, the gangster woman who was over 30 years old was lying crookedly on her side in a strange posture, her abdomen, internal organs and bones being pulled. Twist, rotate.

  The flower of glass blooms quietly.
