Let's not talk about Kai's taste as a fifty-year-old man. The father and daughter were finally tired of each other, and then Brian introduced his daughter to Kai.
It was the first time that Jin saw his father bringing his friends to his home. In the past, Jin was also curious about what his father did, but every time he asked him, he would tell Jin that he was serving the country. King had never understood what kind of work needed to be said to be service to the country. In short, Jin only knew that her father was busy, but she had no idea what he was busy with or where he was busy.
Her mother might know a little, but only a little. This was also the biggest point of disagreement between her mother and her father, who never explained where he was or what he was doing. Likewise, he never brought his friends back.
The mother and daughter didn't know anything about their father and husband.
Therefore, Kim has always been supportive of her parents' divorce. If Brian hadn't been her biological father and was very, very good to her, she wouldn't even want to deal with him. Jin sometimes thinks that there seems to be no difference between her and those children from single-parent families.
But no matter what, it was the first time that Brian actually brought a friend to see her. Jin was also curious about what kind of person his father's friends were.
At first glance, he turned out to be a very handsome young man. He was tall, a little thin, but with a good figure. He looked very gentle, but he had a unique temperament and a sense of neatness. It makes people feel at ease as soon as they see it. At least he definitely doesn't look like a bad guy.
"Hello." Jin looked at this handsome young man and felt his face getting a little hot. So handsome! So much so that basic manners were forgotten.
Fortunately, Kai didn't care about a little girl's rashness.
"Hi, hello, Jin, I heard your father often mention you, you are much more beautiful than in the photo." I saw a pair of hot pants that exposed the thighs, a large beige T-shirt, a good figure, and even a few After sharing the hot gold, Kai praised it according to Western customs.
Jin was a little shy and not at all carefree as before. She whispered: "Thank you."
Brian didn't know much about her daughter's strangeness because he didn't get along with her very much. However, her mother, Lenore, was very sensitive and noticed something was wrong with Kim. However, Lenore did not stop her. In her opinion, Brian brought This friend is much better than Brian! Polite, handsome, and tasteful, although the clothes he wears may not look conspicuous, they are actually all high-end brands, and even the suits he wears are custom-made.
This shows that Kai's family must be well off.
In this case, Lenore doesn't feel the need to stop her daughter, who is already 18 years old!
After chatting awkwardly with each other for a while, Brian proposed to pick up Kim. Lenore was a little worried, but Brian had visitation rights, which was agreed upon during the divorce. Lenore had no reason to deny visitation to Kim's biological father.
It happened that Lenore needed to accompany Doleg to a cocktail party today, so she had no choice but to agree, but still told Brian that her daughter must be sent back before noon tomorrow.
…
As soon as he left home, Jin immediately felt like a bird escaping from its cage. Although the home was big and had everything, Jin was still a little uncomfortable with it. Doleg was not bad either, but Jin could tell that he was being polite and not affectionate. This was normal. After all, the two of them didn't get along for a long time.
But when she saw her mother and Doleg talking to each other, she felt like an outsider. She knew that her mother would never see it that way, but the strangeness still made Jin feel uncomfortable. So she was quite willing to accompany her father. After all, no matter how many mistakes Brian made, his feelings for Jin were absolutely sincere.
They drove to a family restaurant.
The name is weird, it's called Daddy Barry's Hell's Kitchen. It's night now, which is the busiest time for a restaurant. The house was full of people, but only a few tables were empty, with reservation signs on them, which meant that these tables had been booked by the family.
To be honest, the decoration of this restaurant is ordinary, and even the sanitary conditions are very worrying, but it is very popular with people who come here, because the whole restaurant is full of men, and everyone is a burly man. , all of them wore leather jackets, shaved heads, and looked like speedsters. They made people feel very untouchable, and the dishes in front of them were unusually uniform.
All kinds of meat, as well as various cheeses and various sauces with tons of calories. The only green thing is pickled cucumbers... This is a restaurant that specializes in meat products. Their smoked beef is simply a crime, more expensive than washing powder. Addicted.
For those who like to eat healthily, this is a crime.
"Hey! Barry!" Brian seemed to come to life after arriving here. He naturally said hello to the boss here.
The owner of the restaurant, Father Barry, is a chubby white man in his fifties. His big belly and big beard are very eye-catching. With the skull and flower tattoos exposed on his arms, he looks like someone who is not easy to mess with. character of. At this moment, he is like a tyrant, shouting loudly. Even if the customer talks to him, he looks like he wants to eat people. He has no menu here, and he will tell the customer extremely arrogantly and unreasonably, "What do you need?" That's it, then take your stuff and get out!
But the amazing thing is that every customer who is treated like this is not only not angry, but also has a happy face, just like a TikTok.
This is also a feature of this restaurant. Customers do not have the right to order here. The boss will give customers appropriate portions and dishes based on his own experience. Of course, he can also add meat, but he will be scolded. As for waste, it is even more terrible. This old man will kick you out of the store, and then the store will no longer welcome you.
It is a very overbearing rule, but along with the smoke and fire, the aroma of meat gradually fills the air, clearly telling everyone here that others have their own confidence in being arrogant. He has no worries about business!
Seeing Brian greeting him, the boss ignored him at all. Instead, he took out a large piece of steak from the smoker. The large piece of steak was grilled until it turned maroon, with a burnt red and crispy appearance. At this moment The oil was still coming out "sizzlingly", and as Father Barry raised and lowered the knife, full of grease and juice mixed with it spurted out from the edge of the knife.
The smell in the air is enough to make your taste buds go crazy, instantly filling this small restaurant.
This is their signature smoked beef! You only need to take a bite, and the filling juice will instantly conquer your taste buds.
Then Father Barry brought out about twenty pounds of bacon and a furnace of smoked chicken.
Brian's dishes are finally ready.
"Get out! Can't you see I'm busy?"
This is the boss's greeting to Brian. Very kind, right?
Jin shivered a little as he looked at the diners around him and slowly licked the meat on the iron plate! The only vegetables are pickled cucumbers... Jin is also a big girl, and she already understands the importance of daily calorie intake. It seems that this thing is specially used to promote fat, and she is a little confused whether she should eat it or not.
"Although Barry has a bad temper, his barbecue is definitely the best in Los Angeles and even the entire West Coast! As soon as you take one bite, you will completely fall in love with it." Brian very thoughtfully gave a few pieces of gold flakes. Smoked beef was placed on her plate. The food served here is so bold, the meat is as big and fast as it needs to be, plus it’s full of sauce, it looks like a mountain of meat.
Jin is still hesitant because she is afraid of gaining weight.
Kai was so rude. He didn't bother to slice the beef and just put big chunks into his mouth. A rough dish like this should be eaten in big mouthfuls. If you are polite, you won't be able to feed it. It's like the Pork Liver of the Western Hunan Bandits. , when Kai ate it in his early years, it was called delicious, big chunks of pork liver, stir-fried, full of spiciness, and satisfying to eat. But later, after some big restaurants learned from it, it became different and refined. It tasted a lot, but it also lost its original flavor.
Seeing how delicious Kai's food was, Jin finally couldn't help it, took a bite, and then couldn't stop.
The meal was a feast for both the host and the guest, and it was not much fun to just sit down and eat at the table, so the three of them started chatting by the way.
When Kim learned that Kay was actually a Chicago police officer, he was very interested in his career. He pestered him to tell some detective stories, acting like Kay was Sherlock Holmes. But the problem is that there are some things that really cannot be said nonsense.
For the police, unless it is a case of very high public concern, it will be disclosed immediately. Otherwise, many cases will generally be kept secret from the public. This confidentiality will be time-limited, usually several years. If it is particularly serious, it may be It will be longer.
Kai didn't handle many small cases in Chicago, but he encountered all the big cases.
The Seven Crimes are related to mutants and S.H.I.E.L.D. and cannot be discussed.
The police station theft case is related to the image of the Chicago police. Even the Chicago Police Department itself has issued a gag order and still cannot talk about it.
Chicago is cracking down hard, but it is also kept secret and cannot be talked about.
Cult cases have a higher level of confidentiality and cannot be classified.
The Tapia case is more complicated and involves DEA traitors and the Cuban government, which cannot be discussed.
The terrorist attack at the cocktail party still cannot be talked about.
Terrorist attacks on art exhibitions still cannot be talked about.
It seems that the only time I can talk about is that serial robbery. But what's there to say? On the first day Kai reported for work, he heard that a group of robbers had robbed a bank and were playing a car chase with the police. As a result, they met Kai, and there was a gunfight. It was over.
So Kai just talked nonsense and expanded the robbery scene, which was originally only a few hundred words, to 10,000 words, with so many twists and turns that it almost rivaled a Hollywood blockbuster. There were so many logical loopholes in them that Brian almost laughed out loud. For people like them, some things may not seem like much to ordinary people, but to him, they were basically all loopholes. But Brian didn't expose it, he could see that Kai was fooling his daughter.
Bragging is not illegal.
If Jin is willing to listen, let her listen.
When dinner was over, Kai made an excuse and left. This was the father-daughter alone time that Brian had been looking forward to for a long time. It was outrageous for him to stay here as an outsider all the time. Jin was very reluctant to leave, but he also knew that it was late at night and it was impossible for others to follow them home, right?
After leaving each other's phone numbers, the three separated.
…
"You want me to inspect properties in Los Angeles?"
Kai had planned to leave Los Angeles and return to Chicago tomorrow, but he didn't expect Ah Fu to make such a request.
"You just have to make the decision on these things. I have no interest in this kind of thing."
Ah Fu sighed. He knew that his master had a special status and did not care much about material things. But as his butler, Ah Fu felt that it was necessary for his master to pay necessary attention to some valuable properties. .
"The main industry we need to inspect this time is Star Labs (..Labs). This is Kingsman's most important acquisition in recent years. This is related to an extremely important technology project, according to 'Merlin' , this project has the potential to change the world.”
Afu tried his best to make Kai understand how important this project was. "Because the prospects of this project are extremely promising, we did not let the companies in the Kingsman system complete this merger and acquisition. Instead, we used the Wayne Group in your hands to acquire it. By the way, you are here Almost $18 billion was spent on this project!”
Star Labs (..Labs) is a cutting-edge science and technology research laboratory in the city. It was founded by scientist Dr. Harrison Wells twenty years ago and was later acquired and funded by technology giant Valentine. This experiment The laboratory has always been a leader in cutting-edge science and is at the forefront of the world in many aspects.
After Valentine was defeated by Kingsman and died in a plane crash, he was secretly acquired by Kingsman.
Since the Americas are S.H.I.E.L.D.’s territory, Kingsman cannot publicly acquire such an important top U.S. technology company, which will lead to dual dissatisfaction between S.H.I.E.L.D. and the U.S. government. But Kingsman also felt that the scientific and technological achievements of the cutting-edge laboratory would help Kingsman maintain world peace, so they secretly used the Wayne Group, which had long since separated, to acquire the laboratory.
Wayne Group was indeed a British company after World War I and before World War II. However, during World War II, because the war was too tragic, the Kingsman organization at that time was not sure whether Britain could win the war, so in order to ensure that, Even if Britain lost the war, Kingsman could regroup in the New World. Therefore, the leader of Kingsman at the time, 'Arthur', decided to separate Kay's original industry from Kingsman and transfer it step by step to the United States.
It was also at this time that Wayne Group was born.
After so many years of operation, Wayne Group's equity has been divided and distributed many times. At least on the surface, it is an American-led company, although the chairman of the board of directors has always been a member of the 'Wayne family' fabricated by Kingsman. However, generally speaking, the Wayne family rarely directly manages the company.
So there is no problem in saying that Wayne Group is an American company.
"18 billion?" No matter how rich Kai is, his spending habits are still deeply affecting him. Even though he seems to be living a very luxurious life, in fact he rarely spends money. Kelly is responsible for his daily life, and now Afu is responsible for it. He has never worried about it, so naturally he has no personal experience. , if you really ask him to spend thousands of dollars to buy something, he will be very hesitant.
Very strange logic, but it is true.
"What does this laboratory do? It costs a lot of money?"
"Particle accelerator! An epoch-making invention!"
"Oh, right..." Kai pretended to understand. "Then why do I have to go? You know, I'm not very interested in the limelight."
"You spent so much money, don't you want to know if it was worth it?" Ah Fu asked.
But Kai is slandering, when did he spend money? Didn't you spend it?
"Furthermore, this is an experiment, not a social occasion, and there won't be any random people waiting, so the problems you are worried about will not happen."
Think about it, if someone else is a high-end laboratory, why do they need to hold a press conference and broadcast live when conducting experiments?
"Okay, okay, I'll just go."
In fact, Kai is still not interested in those things, but he can't resist that Ah Fu, like his grandfather, likes to be more serious. To be honest, these two men are exactly the same in terms of their stubbornness. Kai Sheng was afraid that he would continue talking.
Just when Kai agreed, young Barry was being lectured by his chief in the Los Angeles Police Department's Southern Division. The director is fed up with the slow progress of the forensics department. Until now, they don't even know the cause of Bullseye's death!
So Barry was asked to work overtime and not find out the cause of death for a day! I have to keep working overtime!
What a tragedy!
