While browsing the news on his phone, Max started a discussion with Old Earl, and Caroline even took out her last treasured private item - three special cupcakes.
Max was shocked when he saw it: "What? This is fifteen dollars, and you're hiding it and not selling it?"
Caroline chuckled, "I don't mind, but do you really not want to try Chris's cooking?"
Max sneered: "I've had enough this morning... cough cough"
She paused and took a cake: "Hehe, let him make it again if there's a chance."
As she said this, she had already taken a bite of the cake, chewed it twice, and raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Emmmm~ This tastes good."
Caroline smiled and gave one to old Earl, then sat down and started eating.
She would never say that she was lazy and had this cake for lunch at noon, but it was so delicious that she ate four of them in one go.
Max would be heartbroken over a twenty-dollar lunch.
At this time, Han came out and asked: "What are you eating?"
The three of them looked at each other silently, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Because Caroline only left three cakes, and they have all been bitten.
However, Han didn't care too much and just sat down with a tired look on his face.
In fact, as a chef, he didn't even make a hundred servings of food tonight.
Most customers either leave immediately after asking how long they will have to wait, or buy two cakes and some drinks before leaving, never waiting for the food to come out from the kitchen.
Even so, he felt like he was dying of exhaustion.
Soon, the scene turned into a casual chat among the four people.
The most idle person today is old Earl, the cashier.
Hundreds of cupcakes were sold today, and Max and the others collected the money themselves.
Han's work efficiency was extremely low tonight. Earl basically spent the entire night browsing his phone, and at this moment he immediately started boasting about the information he had collected.
What is the reason for Max's two daughters to make a fortune today? It is because of yesterday's explosion.
What was the highlight of yesterday's bombing? Of course, it was the old CP of Batman and Iron Man.
All details of the case are still confidential and have not been announced to the public, so there is nothing useful to discuss.
The appearance of Batman and Iron Man attracted countless witnesses, so naturally there was also evidence that the two of them had worked together to deal with the air force members in the Wall Street subway.
No one took a picture of how Iron Man first entered the subway station, but there are many pictures to prove that he came out of the subway station, changed into a new set of armor, and then returned.
Both sets of steel armor were covered with scars, and it was obvious that the battle inside was very fierce.
What Batman did inside was evidenced by videos and pictures from several heavyweight "on-site party" members.
One of them was even on the subway train whose section was destroyed by the bomb.
Coincidentally, this person is an emerging short video blogger, that is, someone who uses videos to record his or her daily life and then posts them online for people to watch.
This blogger is also very professional. He didn’t use a mobile phone to take the photos, but something like a helmet recorder.
Sitting at the front of the second-to-last carriage, he captured the most complete video of Batman saving people in this explosion.
But this blogger is a person who seeks fame first, and all his videos are marked with "Just indicate the source when reprinting".
Not long after being released, these videos fell into the hands of major TV stations.
At that time, many departments had already blocked this video, but it was useless.
In just a few minutes, the blogger's video was downloaded by many people, and some of them had ulterior motives and were waiting to get rich, so they sold it to TV stations.
As long as it's cash transactions, there won't be much trouble.
By the time the blogger's original video was blocked, many of these people's videos were sold at a good price.
Once something is in the hands of the TV station, it is not easy to suppress it.
Besides, this video does not involve any deep-seated interests. It is just that a few departments want to block information out of selfish motives, but this cannot be said openly.
Finally, the video was played so many times on TV that the blogger had no choice but to post it on his homepage.
The world's spectators do not care about these shady struggles.
Just like those departments with ulterior motives, they don’t actually care how many civilians Batman saves. Rich people don’t take the subway anyway, so they won’t be the ones to die.
They just want information on Batman, or to reduce Batman's credit in this incident.
However, there are once again a lot of Batman's die-hard fans among the spectators, some even crazy fans.
This time, some people who like to openly sing the opposite tune and discredit Batman to attract attention were hit by a violent storm from the masses.
No one can slander Batman at this time.
In that video, everyone could clearly see that after Batman rescued eight passengers, one person blocked the car door.
Obviously, in order to protect the passengers who came after him and had no time to escape, he chose to fight hard.
Although no one knows how he protected the penultimate carriage from blowing up during the explosion, the bulging cape and the blazing flames that covered half of the carriage proved that Batman used himself to protect the passengers.
Afterwards, Batman jumped out of the subway and stopped the two carriages heading towards the station entrance, which was also captured on video and in photos by the fearless party members at the scene.
But these people are far less professional than that video blogger, the videos are shaky and the pictures are messed up.
Whatever footage was usable was barely found, and was analyzed frame by frame by TV stations and internet celebrities to determine the extent of the injuries Batman suffered after the explosion.
Although the bat armor is black, it is not dustproof.
It looked gray as it had just emerged from the explosion, and the airflow blew the dust off the armor, leaving irregular streaks, making it look even more miserable.
Many experts have come forward to prove that this is definitely a direct result of the explosion, so this video is not a sleight of hand or magic.
Batman is literally using his body to fight off the X-bombs and protect the passengers on the subway.
Those who can take the subway are basically people from the bottom of society, but they are also the largest class in the world.
They may not be very smart, may be easily fooled and instigated, or may be easily exploited, but they are also the group that is most likely to feel grateful.
On the other hand, the wealthy can pay security guards to help block bullets, and they don’t really care about the life-saving grace.
However, Batman has always taken the mass line.
Luke, who came from China in his previous life, always remembered the teachings of the great man: only by coming from the masses and going to the masses can you be invincible in the world.
This time, with the strong support of that professional blogger, Batman has become a success.
With the recognition of the civilian class, which has an absolute majority in numbers, Batman finally transformed from a "superhero" into a "spiritual symbol".
In the eyes of ordinary people, he is no longer a "vigilante" who enforces the law privately, but a collection of excellent qualities that represent justice and courage, belief and persistence, indomitable spirit and fearlessness.
In a sense, he became a "god" believed by the people, or a "saint" in the online novels of the previous life.
