In the luxurious restaurant of a five-star hotel, the lighting was soft, elegant background music flowed through the air, and the atmosphere should have been relaxed and pleasant. However, Justin Hammer appeared unusually nervous at this moment. Facing Dominic, who was currently eating heartily, his smile seemed stiff and awkward.
Dominic completely ignored the atmosphere, burying his head and rapidly devouring the luxurious food in front of him, a fork in one hand, a knife in the other, at an astonishing speed. The high-end steak, seafood platter, and various delicacies on the table were quickly eliminated by him. Whenever a waiter served a new dish, he would immediately take it and start eating without any regard for etiquette, as if it were his last meal.
Justin's mouth twitched slightly, and he secretly lamented in his heart, "Oh god, this guy is really a black hole... If I had known he was here for a buffet, I would have taken him to a buffet restaurant instead of here."
Finally, Justin spoke, trying his best to maintain a smile: "Dominic, hahaha, eat whatever you want, eat as much as you want, this meal is on me!"
Dominic didn't even raise his head, his mouth full of food, and responded indistinctly: "You are so considerate, Hammer, it's truly comforting to have such a 'generous' friend like you. Look, a 'superhero' like me needs energy supply, so eating more is also contributing to Earth, understand?"
Justin's smile was a bit awkward, but he still held on: "Haha, of course, of course, after all, you are so powerful, being able to eat is a blessing!"
Dominic finally stopped his knife and fork, looked up at Justin, his eyes full of playful intent: "Yes, terrifyingly powerful. Just like how you 'borrowed' some money from me today, right? Dozens of security guards, they actually 'escorted' me to your office the entire way, how thoughtful."
Justin's heart sank, remembering the 'borrowing money incident' from the morning, and a chill went down his spine. His mouth twitched, and he forced a calm smile: "Haha, of course, we're brothers, money... what is it? As long as you like it!"
"That's right, we're brothers!" Dominic's mouth curved slightly, revealing a cold smile, "But this 'brother' of yours seems a bit fake, dozens of armed security guards aren't exactly a welcoming ceremony, are they?"
Justin was so awkward he didn't know what to do: "Uh... haha, it's all a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! They thought you... uh, they thought you were here to cause trouble, they didn't expect you were here to borrow money."
Dominic shrugged, a nonchalant expression on his face: "It's fine, I understand, after all, no one would expect me to come and borrow money so 'politely', right?" He suddenly put down his knife and fork, leaned back in his chair, and stared intently at Justin, "But speaking of which, brother, you have to remember the money you 'borrowed', after all, I'm a 'superhero', I've saved so many people, I should get some return, right? What do you say?"
Cold sweat broke out on Justin's face, and he tried hard to squeeze out a smile: "Right, right, absolutely remember. Don't worry, money is not a problem... hehe."
The atmosphere at the table fell into an eerie silence for a moment, Justin's mind raced, trying to change the subject: "Uh, so, what have you been busy with lately? Saving the World?"
"Hmm, saving the World?" Dominic said in a teasing tone, his eyes suddenly becoming strange, "I've actually been 'saving myself' lately - from a boring life. You know, flying around every day, beating up a few villains, occasionally being chased to 'borrow money', life is utterly boring. I'm starting to feel like it might be time to find some other fun."
Justin was stunned, clearly not following Dominic's train of thought: "Ah? Fun? You mean..."
"For example, after eating and drinking my fill tonight, I plan to tear down half of your hotel and see if they'll invite me back for another luxurious dinner." Dominic suddenly became serious, looking at Justin with a half-smile.
Justin's face instantly turned pale: "Uh, haha... you're joking, right?"
Dominic shrugged, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "Who knows? I'm a superhero, anything I do counts."
Justin let out a few dry laughs, with only one thought left in his mind: I definitely lost money on this meal!
The dinner ended, and Justin Hammer finally breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at the number on the bill that was almost enough to buy a sports car, he sighed helplessly, but still wore that commercial smile on his face: "Forget it, this little bit of money is nothing to me, after all, brotherhood runs deep... haha."
Dominic still looked lazy, patted Justin's shoulder, and smiled: "You really are my good brother, Hammer! You know, 'brotherhood' is priceless. Besides, who can be as generous as you? But I have a good idea, since you're so generous, how about helping me plan some 'crazy' schemes?"
Justin was stunned, his mind racing: "What schemes?" He couldn't help but start to panic in his heart, but still asked with a smile on his face.
A hint of strangeness flashed in Dominic's eyes, and his voice dropped low: "Hey, since you run a weapons company, why don't we do something 'big'? Like... manufacture a batch of bigger weapons? And then find a small country, hehe, and become a king or something along the way? You know, just for fun."
Justin's heart suddenly sped up, he tried to remain calm, but his inner World had already collapsed: "Oh god, spare me! I just want to make money quietly, I don't want to become a villain!" He was about to cry, thinking about how to find an excuse to leave this absurd conversation.
"Oh, don't be nervous, brother." Dominic showed a cunning smile and continued, "Weapons, arms, conquering the World - these are 'small things', right? Whatever you want to do, I support you."
Justin nodded with a dry smile, only thinking in his heart: "Oh god, please stop talking, I just want to sell weapons, make money steadily, don't do these World-conquering things!"
Just as the atmosphere became even more bizarre, a 'lifesaving' thought suddenly popped into Justin's mind. His eyes lit up, and he said with a chuckle: "Hey, Dominic, let's not talk about these things! Since you're giving me so much face today, how about I call a few beautiful women to keep you company tonight? You know, just to relax..."
Dominic raised an eyebrow, a playful glint flashed in his eyes, and a wicked smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Oh? Beautiful women? Brother, you really know how to enjoy life. But honestly..." He paused, glanced at Justin's physique, and said in a tone with black humor, "Hammer, your body is also quite good. How about... we relax together tonight?"
Justin was instantly stunned, the smile on his face completely frozen. He forced out a few awkward laughs, his inner self screaming: "Oh god, don't make this kind of joke! I just want beautiful women, not you!"
Dominic completely ignored Justin's inner collapse and continued in a teasing tone: "Don't be nervous, brother. Let's have a good 'relax' tonight, and tomorrow I'll think about conquering the World again. Don't worry, your brother will always stand by you!"
Justin's inner World had completely collapsed, and he was crying in his heart: "No! Please let me go, I really just want to make money peacefully!"
