Manhattan Reborn 1978

Los Angeles.

David returns to Bloomer's large mansion.

Leslie, Giles, and Bloomer are all back.

When David entered the house, the three friends were sitting in the living room, huddled around and discussing something.

"Hi~ What are you talking about?"

"Aren't you talking about the good things you did?"

"Me? What did I do?"

"Lilith! Why did she come to Los Angeles?"

"I.."

David choked on his words. .But for a moment, an interesting idea flashed in his mind. .

"Um... where is the Lilith person? Are they upstairs?"

"Yes~"

"It seems so~"

David smiled mischievously, turned around and ran out of the living room, shouting to the stairs: "Lilith, I'm back~ I'm even hungry, come down quickly!"

The housekeeper who came after hearing the sound had an inexplicable smile on his face when he saw David. He shook his head slightly and turned around to arrange for the servants to start eating.

In the living room, the three friends stared at each other with big eyes and small eyes. Bloomer's legs were flying towards David like the wind. .

When David heard the footsteps, he quickly went upstairs with a smile, looked around in the corridor, and shouted: "Lilith, dear! Where are you?"

in a room.

Only this time Lilith heard someone calling her.

She said a few words into the phone in her hand, put down the phone, and when she walked to the door, she lowered her head and quickly checked her clothes before opening the door and saying, "I'm here~ is this David?"

"Yes! Honey, we are going downstairs for dinner!"

"Okay~ I'll be right away~!"

After saying that, Lilith turned back, ran to the mirror and turned around, carefully looked at the makeup, jewelry, and lipstick on her face, smoothed her hair and skirt around her ears again, and then smiled with satisfaction.

But when she walked to the door, she suddenly looked down at the shoes on her feet, paused for a moment, turned around, found the crystal sandals she just bought today, bit her lip, and put them on. .

The intersection of the corridor and the stairs.

At this time, David's mouth was covered by his third friend and he was carried downstairs. .

Although he was already struggling desperately, how could the combined efforts of the three injured friends make him run away?

Seeing this scene, Lilith's smile instantly froze on her face. .

She said in a cold voice: "Aren't you going to have dinner with me?"

"Well... we were just too anxious to wait and wanted David to go down quickly~ Hahaha~ It's okay, it's okay!"

Bloomer put David's leg down and winked at several people.

David's feet landed on the ground, and he smiled as if his conspiracy had succeeded: "Really? You are anxious!"

"Then you go and eat first~ I happen to have something to say with Lilith."

"Really? Then you say, let's go down first! Haha~"

Giles punched David in the lower back. .The third friend winked fiercely at David and ran downstairs quickly. .

Lilith stood there, looking at David, her face seemed to be blown by the spring breeze, and a bright smile bloomed again.

"What do you want to say? Did you talk about anything when you sent old Uncle Wharton to the airport just now?"

David walked up to Lilith in a few steps, looked up and down at a close distance, and praised: "How about... let's get married! Haha~"

"Okay~ If you dare to marry me, I will marry you!~"

"Marry~must marry!"

"We will start preparing for the engagement ceremony when we return to New York."

"After a while, when this investment is over and I have money, we will hold a grand wedding!"

Lilith's eyes widened further and further, and her mouth opened: "Are you serious?"

"of course it's true!"

David took a step forward, looked at Lilith who was close at hand, and his smile became even meaner: "After I marry you, I will marry Laura, and then Susan. Anyway, I won't get a marriage certificate!"

"I can get married as many times as I want, no one can control me! Haha~"

"Oh... Really? I asked you how you mentioned going to Saudi Arabia. It turns out you want... to become a Saudi citizen? Marry more wives?"

"Haha~ I have no problem! As long as your body can handle it~ you can do whatever you want!"

The smile on David's face was frozen there, he licked his lips and rolled his eyes: "Well... I'm hungry, how about you?"

"I've been hungry for a long time. Aren't I waiting for you to eat with me?"

David held Lilith's hand, and the fingertips of his other hand slowly brushed against her forehead and in front of her eyes: "Remember, never rely on starvation to stay in shape in the future!"

"Eat when you should, drink when you should, exercise more, be less greasy, low in sugar, low in salt, spread your legs, and be in good health!"

Lilith smiled, naughtily bit David's finger, and said vaguely: "Why do you say so many weird things?"

David simply held her in his arms, leaned into her ear, and whispered: "Engagement and marriage are complicated and tedious processes!"

"We need to prepare and face a lot!"

"You have to be mentally prepared~!"

"But don't be afraid!"

"I will always stand in front of you!"

Lilith has never heard these bad love stories. .

Feeling the heat of David's breath and his words in my ears, my head was confused for a moment, my ears were buzzing, my breathing became more rapid, a thin layer of sweat broke out on my forehead, and my face gradually turned crimson~

"I...I will~David!"

"Yes? What can you do? Be my bride?"

"Yes! Even if it's... fake! I will definitely do everything a perfect bride should do!"

"Hahaha~ok! Wish us a happy cooperation?"

"Happy cooperation! Haha~"

David wondered in his mind, should he continue flirting?

Emm. .

or farewell!

Flirting again?

Something will happen and he will be beaten to death, right?

"Let's go down first~"

"Hmm~"

Lilith took David's arm into her arms, and the two went downstairs and walked into the restaurant.

In the restaurant on the first floor.

The three friends who were already waiting saw the blushing, sweet and shy Lilith following David like a little girl in love, and they couldn't help but rub their eyes vigorously. .

The three friends looked at each other in disbelief, watching David act like a gentleman, pull out a chair for Lilith at the other end of the dining table, let her sit down, put the napkin for her like a gentleman, and whispered a few words in her ear, It made Lilith cover her mouth and chuckle. .

"fxxx!"

"Oh, God!"

"Isn't this a dream?"

"...Probably not?!"

Even the three of them knew that it was basically impossible for anything to happen between David and Lilith. .

But in this scene before me, the two of them clearly looked like a couple~

this. .The resemblance couldn’t be more different~!

Bloomer came to Giles in confusion and whispered: "Could... David really be able to straighten the crooked ones?"

Giles rolled his eyes and said without moving his mouth: "Are you afraid that you won't die soon enough? Where can I go? You can ask yourself!"

Leslie, who was sitting across from them, turned her eyes back and forth several times, trying hard to control the nervousness in her heart when facing Lilith, and spoke.

"Lilith, you are so beautiful today!"

David smiled next to Lilith, glanced at Leslie who was speaking, and said proudly: "Beautiful, isn't it? We went shopping in the afternoon! Haha~"

The smile on Lilith's face faded slightly, and she glanced at the people at the table: "You'd better not talk while eating!"

"Haven't you learned this basic etiquette?"

Emm. .

Sanshouyou shut up immediately, lowered his head, holding pre-dinner wine or drinks in his hand, waiting for the butler to arrange for someone to serve the dishes. .

David held Lilith's left hand, glanced curiously at the three quail-shaped friends, and asked: "Why are they... so afraid of you?"

"No reason~ you...will know!"

"Oh.."

Seeing that she had no intention of explaining, David raised his eyebrows. A bad idea came to him, and he changed the subject with a smile.

"Actually, I should have snatched you away from Laura's clutches and won!"

"Haha~ Really? You have... won me, so why are you still thinking about Laura? Do you still want to take me with you to go in front of her and humiliate her?"

"Pfft~"

"Cough cough cough~"

"Hehe~hehehe~"

Hearing the conversation between the two of them, the three friends at the other end of the dinner table instantly became confused. .

"fxxx~ What are you doing, you bastard?"

"Sorry, sorry~ I really can't hold it in! Cough cough cough cough~"

Leslie stared with innocent eyes, picked up a napkin and wiped the juice all over her head and face, cursing in her heart. .

The butler, who had been standing at the door of the restaurant just now, saw this scene and moved his eyes towards the door with a smile. .

Tonight may be the most interesting night in recent years!

. . .

dinner time!

During this dinner, except for David and Lilith, who were at the other end of the table, interacting sweetly with each other as a couple, showing off their affection.

Sanshouyou spent the whole time eating without speaking a single word. .

The butler, on the other hand, pursed the corners of his slightly upturned mouth throughout the whole process, providing everyone with impeccable service in a timely manner~

After meal.

Lilith gestured to David and expressed her gratitude to the butler for his attentive service.

The butler's eyes wandered back and forth between the two of them, and he nodded with a smile, accepting the thanks and compliments.

David turned back, glanced at Sanshouyou, smiled provocatively, reached out and touched Lilith's stomach: "You eat too little!"

"This will make your body collapse in the afternoon!"

"It's okay~ I've always been in control, it's okay!"

"Well... how about we do some post-meal exercise?"

"Okay~ But the weather outside..."

"No, our sport tonight is...dancing!"

"Uh...hehe~ What kind of dance can you do?"

"I don't know how to dance, I can only dance randomly~"

"Whatever... Okay~ let's go try it?"

"ok~"

"Um...Bloomer! Aren't you a music enthusiast? You should have a lot of dance music at home, right?"

"What are you waiting for? Take it out quickly?"

Bloomer, who was called out, scratched his head and walked over, quietly winking at David and saying, "No problem~"

"But...are you two the only ones dancing? What about us?"

David turned to look at Lilith.

Lilith shrugged and said, "You can do whatever you want~ As long as you don't disturb us!"

"Ok~! I won't disturb you!"

Blumer whispered a few words to the butler, turned around with a victorious smile on his face, walked back to his friends, and whispered.

"How about we have a dance tonight?"

"Do you two have a suitable dance partner?"

Giles and Leslie shook their heads in unison: "No~"

"Um... Then I'll find some girls to come... and have some fun together?"

Giles looked serious and said: "What girl? Am I that kind of person? Don't lead me astray!"

Leslie had a constipated look on his face and hesitated for a moment before continuing: "Will Lilith go back and complain? I'm afraid..."

Blumer waved his hand and said proudly: "What are you afraid of? She agreed!"

"Don't worry! You should all know the girl I'm looking for~"

"We know each other? Who?"

"Livlin, daughter of Piro Jan Cherov~"

"Her?...Are you not mistaken?"

Giles and Leslie looked at Bloomer in surprise, feeling that this kid might have been overstimulated at dinner just now and his brain was broken!

Livlin is the youngest daughter of the famous Los Angeles tycoon Cherov, and they both do know each other.

Can. .That girl's mind has a strange circuit, and the nerves in her head are often miswired. It's so good that she's different from ordinary people~

Bloomer looked at the expressions of the two and explained with a smile: "I met Livlin at a cocktail party a few days ago, and she is completely different now than before!"

"She is surrounded by a small group of best friends, and those girls are the ones I invite!"

"Oh... Okay! As long as you don't let that mentally ill Livlin come with you!"

"Yes~! Just let her best friends come and play together!"

"Haha~ No problem, I'll make a call right now!"

Bloomer was so happy that he went to make a phone call.

Giles and Leslie sat next to each other, you looked at me, I looked at you, they laughed in unison, neither of them spoke.

Um. .

The basic tacit understanding between partners has been reached!

Some of them are not in New York. Find a few. .Girls of the same age chatting and dancing, it’s so much fun!

What bad thoughts could they have?

They just have too much hormone secretion. .Just a young man with a restless heart!

hehe~

----

new York.

FBI Director Harold Stone and his subordinate Torres Bradman walked into the Wildfire Bar on 42nd Street.

Wildfires at night, bustling with people~

Many new and old drinkers, holding glasses in their hands, chatted about interesting or boring topics with friends or strangers around them.

Harold Stone led Torres and sat directly at the only two empty seats at the bar, waving to Erica who was busy.

"Bring us two beers!"

"Beer? Why don't you try our cocktails? They are cheaper than beer and very delicious!"

Erica seemed to be a familiar new drinker, smiling as she promoted her homemade juice cocktail.

Home?

That's right~!

As long as it's nighttime, Susan isn't in Wildfire.

Here at Wildfire Bar, Erica has the final say!

"Um... No, thank you! Just give us two beers~"

Torres saw Harold Stone looking around curiously and said to Erica.

Erica pouted, took out two bottles of beer from the ice bucket next to her, opened them, and handed them to Torres.

“Don’t forget to tip~hehe~”

"No problem~"

Torres pushed a bottle of beer to Harold Stone, took a sip of cold beer himself, exhaled a long breath, and looked around.

the other side of the bar.

Madonna looked at the newly bought watch, then at the crowd in the bar, and couldn't help but sigh to Erica.

"Should we find some more waiters? It's almost time for me to get off work. Can you and Martha come over?"

"It's okay~ You can leave when the time comes, we can handle it~"

"Besides, isn't Zach still here?"

"Zach? Haha~"

"Since the big guy Zach left, that kid seems to be a different person~"

"I don't think he is reliable~"

Erica smiled and shook her head. After leaving a drinker, she put the rice knife in the cup and put it away: "How have you been studying recently? What did the teachers Zina found for you teach you?"

Madonna grimaced with some annoyance, and helped wipe the bar with her hands and said: "Forget it, the teachers Zina found for me are too professional. I don't understand a lot of knowledge, so I can only start from the most basic knowledge. ~"

"Haha~ Then you have to study harder!"

"Okay~ I don't need your help here."

"But you alone are too busy..."

"Why are you so busy?... Just go back with peace of mind~"

. . .

Bar door.

Lu Di and Mike Bai walked in and stood looking around, as if looking for someone.

Mike Bai had sharp eyes and spotted Harold Stone and the two of them: "At the bar over there~"

"Um.."

Lu Di put his hand into his coat pocket, signaled to Mike Bai, and the two walked over.

"Hi~Mr. Stone~?"

"Hey, Ludy~ You come to the bar so late?"

"Haha~ Aren't you there too?"

"...I am doing this because of work~ If nothing was wrong, I would have been lying in bed by this time, having a sweet dream!"

Mike Bai and Torres next to them looked at each other, nodded to each other, and each moved a little further to the side, leaving a little space for Harold Stone and Ludy.

Ludy looked across Harold Stone, glanced at Torres, and then whispered: "I didn't expect that we would meet here for the first time ~ Mr. Stone."

"Call me Harold~ I didn't expect that either!"

"Haha~ So Harold, what do you want from me?"

Harold fiddled with the beer bottle in his hand, turned his head back and forth and glanced around again, and said with a smile: "I think we can establish a good communication and cooperative relationship~"

"Oh? What aspect are you referring to?"

"Every aspect~everything!"

Lu Di had a slightly weird expression. He thought quickly and then said, "Are you sure you want to cooperate with me?"

"No~ I am cooperating with you!"

"us?"

"Yes~ Sidrich, DA Security Company, and... David Coleman!"

Ludy frowned and stared at Harold: "There is no problem in cooperating with us ~ But you have to tell him about the cooperation between you and David!"

Harold Stone showed a confused expression: "You are not..."

"No!~"

"...Okay~ When he returns to New York, please help me contact him, can you?"

Ludi did not answer the question and talked about another thing: "I received some news...Tomorrow night, someone wants to pick up a cargo from the dock on Long Island~"

"After picking up the cargo from the ship, someone wanted to get on the ship and leave New York."

Harold was stunned for a moment, then reached into his pocket and took out a few coins and put them on the bar: "Shall I buy you a drink?"

"One cup is not enough!"

"What do you say!"

"I want news!"

"..Which aspect?"

"We want everything related to us!"

Harold lowered his head, took out two pieces of change from his hand, and put them under the beer bottle after only taking two small sips.

"We are going to restart the undercover informant program~"

"The list of personnel has been initially screened. As long as they are interviewed, they will..."

"enough!"

"There is another news that I can tell you in advance?"

Lu Di thought about it, nodded and said, "Go ahead~"

"cia has expanded its New York headquarters, and new people will arrive in the next two days."

"cia??"

Of course Ludy knew about the CIA.

But what does this have to do with them?

The FBI governs the country.

CIA manages foreign countries.

Both parties are the official intelligence and law enforcement agencies of the government, and their division of labor is very clear, and they cannot cross the line at all!

Harold saw Ludy's confusion and continued: "Someone wants to get some important information on Wall Street. The CIA knows it~"

Lu Di nodded slightly with understanding: "...Tomorrow morning, after you go to work, I will call your office."

Harold was very satisfied that the two of them could successfully reach cooperation when they met for the first time, and said with a smile: "Haha~ Even if you didn't drink this time, you should still be considered as invited by me!"

"Next time, it's your turn to invite!"

"ok~ no problem!"

"But let's not meet at the Wildfire Bar again~"

Harold was a little confused: "Why?"

Ludy obviously didn't want to answer this somewhat retarded question. .

He took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Harold: "If you need anything, you can call me on this number."

Harold looked at the business card: "What if there is an emergency and I can't find you?"

Ludy patted Harold's arm and joked: "Then you can go find Mr. Odis Parker, he will find me!"

Harold's expression froze: "Is this a joke? It's not funny at all!"

"No~ man! You will laugh! Haha~"

Ludy raised his head to Mike Bai next to him, and the two walked out of the Wildfire Bar side by side. .

Harold held the business card in his hand, turned to look at Torres, who regarded him as a passerby, and said, "What about you? Do you think this joke... is funny?"

Torres pretended to be stupid and asked: "What?"

"Hmph~ Hehe~ You learn very quickly!"

"Ha~ That's because I have a good teacher like you!"

"fxxx! Speak up!"

Torres smiled calmly: "Why do you bother me, a newcomer?"

Harold looked at Torres seriously, spread his hands and said, "Who else can I trust besides you?"

"Those old fritters from our headquarters?"

"Do you think... they are trustworthy?"

Torres was speechless~

It's not a question of whether you should trust it or not.

But through getting along with each other these days, those people have always been obedient to Harold Stone, the new supervisor, at work.

No one took the work assigned by Harold Stone seriously and did it well. They all agreed with a grunt, turned around, and left the house to go off.

Only Torres, the newcomer who came to New York with Harold, listened to his greeting~

. . .

Harold Stone's eyes glanced at Madonna who had changed her clothes a little further away and was greeting Erica and preparing to leave after get off work.

He kicked Torres with his toe and followed Madonna out of the Wildfire Bar.
