I Am Two-way Popular Science in the United States

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be the thin, pointed-faced man behind the Gotham Police Station in the morning. His face was full of beads of sweat. He seemed to be in poor physical condition, and the despair in his eyes seemed to be even more intense.

The skinny monkey didn't look threatening, but Depp still clutched the shotgun and opened the door cautiously.

Depp habitually put on the introduction mirror and asked, "Hello sir, do you have any old items for sale?"

[Joseph Cole]

The name is very jojo, Depp thought unscrupulously.

Joseph Cole stood outside the door, hesitating and finally pulling from the cutoff at the ring finger of his left hand.

"That's it, boss," said Joseph. "He's very beautiful in the sun, you see."

Saying that, he raised the diamond ring in his hand to the sun.

Under the sunlight, the diamond ring radiated a soft and beautiful light, and under the light, the despair in Joseph's eyes also weakened, as if recalling some happy past.

"Please come into the house, I need to take a closer look."

After taking Joseph into the antique store and pouring a cup of hot water for him, Depp took the diamond ring and looked at it carefully.

I have to say that the clarity of the diamonds on this ring is actually very general, but the cutting process is perfect, so perfect that it can make an inferior rough stone so dazzling.

But to be honest, this kind of craftsmanship is not very valuable. After all, the second-hand recycling industry only focuses on the weight and quality of raw materials.

So, he needs to know the real reason why the man in front of him needs the money.

Depp looked up into Joseph's eyes and asked, "You just said you needed this money to save your life, are you seriously ill yourself?"

"It's not me, boss." Joseph shook his head: "It's my wife, she's about to give birth, but now she's in very poor health, and I need a sum of money to treat her illness and raise a baby. But My income is too little...really too little..."

Looking at the haggard-looking Joseph, Depp felt a little sympathetic.

This poor man came to the antique store to sell his wedding ring in order to cure and recuperate his wife.

No wonder just now in the sun, when he looked at the ring, his despairing eyes were filled with happiness.

And this man named Joseph did not do anything illegal because he needed money and was desperate.

Although this is very common in Gotham.

He was a good man, a good man who loved his wife deeply.

Depp decided to help the poor man through the difficult time, he said: "The cutting process of the ring is very good, but unfortunately the clarity of the diamond body is not very high, so..."

Hearing this, Joseph lowered his head, and his eyes were even more desperate. He murmured, "That's true... Then sir, how much can it sell for?"

Joseph sighed silently in his heart. If the amount of money sold was too small, he could only cure his wife's disease first, and put aside the problem of producing a miscarriage.

I'm sorry, child. ． ．Joseph inwardly apologized to the unborn child.

"So... I mean, how much do you need?" Depp said helplessly, looking at Joseph who was interrupted, and said the whole sentence.

"What?" Joseph said in disbelief.

Depp repeated: "I mean, how much money your wife needs for treatment, how much money she needs to be hospitalized to support the baby, I will pay for this ring."

Joseph covered his face in surprise and burst into tears.

"You really are the kindest person I've ever met!" Joseph whimpered. "Just twenty thousand... no, ten thousand dollars is enough, absolutely enough."

Someone bought a fake porcelain vase for $100 million just to annoy others without blinking an eye.

Someone needs only $[-] to save the lives of a wife and a child, and no matter how hard they work, they can't get it together.

Depp suddenly felt that all this was normal and absurd, even a little ridiculous.

He turned around, took five stacks of dollars from the safe, and stuffed it into Joseph's hands with the pawn agreement in duplicate.

"It's fifty thousand dollars, Mr. Joseph."

"The other is a pawn agreement, and since I think this ring means a lot to you, you can redeem your ring anytime in the future with $[-]."

"The agreement takes effect after you sign it, and the pen is on your right."

Looking at the money in his hand and the pawn agreement, Joseph felt that everything he encountered today was so unreal, he said to Depp:

"Are you... an angel sent by God?"

Hearing this shameful compliment, Depp directly took back a signed pawn agreement, then shoved a business card to the other party, and ordered an expulsion.

"Come on, don't be so rude, you should go back to accompany your wife earlier, he must miss you very much!"

Sending the hoped-for man out of the antique store, Depp locked the door and resumed making his own high-tech mask.

Joseph outside the door held the black plastic bag containing fifty thousand dollars tightly in his arms, glanced around suspiciously, and then walked quickly to his house.

On the way, he looked back at the Depp Antique Store from time to time, and he always felt that the whole store was shining with divine brilliance.

Chapter No.16 Uninvited Visitors

Selena Kyle, a woman as elegant, beautiful and mysterious as a cat.

Some say she's from Gotham's slums, Naihe Island, and some say he's from an ancient beleaguered noble.

But no matter what her background was, no one really cared.

Because when a woman is so beautiful, then she will easily reach the upper circle of the city.

After all, no one would turn down a beautiful lady shining like a star at their own banquet.

And she also slowly packaged herself as a rich woman who thought she was keen on charity.

But Selena Kyle scoffs at these high society guys, who she thinks are the real maggots and vampires in this city.

So she never mind taking the money from these guys, which is also the purpose of her frequent contact with the upper class and attending banquets.

Even cats have to step on the spot before taking action.

Her target today is an antique shop on the border of Naihe Island, which she has mercifully hadn't visited for nearly two months.

"Opening an antique shop on Naihe Island?" Selena's eyes were full of ridicule: "It's just trying to defraud these poor poor people."

In fact, Selena's idea is not wrong. Before Depp's crossing, the main profit method of this store was to buy valuable items from Naihe Island residents or ancestral or stolen at extremely low prices. Then resell it to the wealthy in the main urban area.

Before this operation, she had been observing the shop for some time, and it seemed that the shop had not been open since three weeks ago.

"Maybe the vampire shopkeeper is on vacation with the money, and it's a good time to collect rent."

Selena's tight leather jacket perfectly outlined her bumpy figure. She pulled down the goggles on the cat's headgear, dexterously climbed to the roof of the antique shop, and slipped into the house through the side window on the second floor.

She walked briskly and made no sound like a cat.

She walked to the storefront and warehouse on the first floor with ease. It was not the first time that Selena came to this store to steal. She knew the layout of the room and the display rules of valuables.

After removing the fake junk items one by one, Selena was surprised to find that there was no real item in the store!

"Guri's shop owner, how long has it been since you've had good products?" Selena murmured in her heart, "Could it be that the boss found out in his conscience that he didn't buy it from the residents of Naihe Island at a low price?"

Glancing at the many fakes that she had swept aside, she immediately rejected the idea of ​​the boss's conscience.

Walking to the safe, Selena took out two iron wires, and five seconds later, with a "click", the safe was opened.

The safe was not filled with five stacks of banknotes as Selena had expected, but only a diamond ring was placed in it alone.

Selena lifted the ring and took out a small flashlight from her waist to shine on the diamond at the top of the ring.

The clarity is average, but. . .The cutting process is perfect.

At the end of the appraisal, this thing is not worth a few dollars.

At this moment, two small luminous balls lit up in the darkness not far away.

Selena held her breath, put her hands behind her back, and held the whip ready to strike at any time.

In the darkness, the two balls of light drifted up and down slightly, getting closer and closer.

Finally, the cow cat with asymmetrical hair color at the corners of the mouth came out lazily from the darkness.

It looked at Selena curiously, as if thinking about when there was a woman in his family?

Selena breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the visitor was a cat.

For Selena, there is no creature she feels more affectionate than a cat.

She is naturally close to cats, and cats will develop a favorable impression of them and even obey her commands.

Putting the worthless ring back in the safe, Selena swayed towards the cat in front of her.

"Little cute, tell me where the most valuable things in this store are?"

Selena has the ability to communicate with cats, and in past experience, her words seem to have an unknown magic power to cats, allowing cats to obey her will and act.

It doesn't work out well.

The cat in front of her seemed to understand her words, her eyes changed, and she seemed to recall, "This woman asked me where is the most valuable thing in my house?"

Then. ． ． "Meow!!!!!!!!!"

A shrill cat meow made Selena sluggish.

This little guy did not obey her will, this is the first time since his debut!

At the same time, a sexy male voice sounded in Selena's ear: "Miss Cat, do you have something to sell? Or which antique do you like to buy?"

Depp was wearing pajamas and slowly stuck the introduction mirror to his eye sockets.

【Selena Kyle】

Selena looked up at the charming man in front of her, feeling slightly lost.

But she immediately said soberly: "I have nothing to sell, and I am not interested in the fakes you have here."

After she finished speaking, she threw the huge blue and white porcelain vase beside her to Depp and turned to run.

Depp easily caught the porcelain bottle and placed it on the ground, then took out a double-barreled shotgun and pointed it at Catwoman ahead.

"Stand still, I really don't want to shoot a beautiful lady in the head."

Selena Kyle stood there and looked at the dark muzzle. She didn't know how Depp's marksmanship was, and she wasn't sure if Depp would actually shoot if she made any small moves.

The two were at a stalemate for a while.

"Now, take out your items from my store one by one, or you won't want to leave!"

Even Catwoman, Depp doesn't want the other party to steal even a dime from him!
