The bartender in a white shirt was about to buy something with the bill in his hand.
Lai Mu waved him over, "No, I don't want to drink anything now."
As he spoke, Lai Mu reached out and took the green US dollar bills from the bartender's hand one by one and put them into his pocket while the bartender looked stunned.
The bartender hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but was hesitant.
Lai Mu waved his hands impatiently, "Why are you still standing there? Go and do your own thing."

After sitting for a while, Lai Mu lost all interest.
The music was pretty good, but the topics of conversation among the whispering people were not so elegant.
The ladies talked about cosmetics, clothing, and skin care; the men talked about women, watches, the stock market, and financing; most of the men and women were flirting with each other.
Thanks to the extraordinary hearing and processing ability of the Great Sage, there are almost no secrets in the whole venue as long as Lei Mu wants to listen.
Pepper was absolutely right, this kind of party was very boring.
After sitting for less than ten minutes, Lai Mu was already drowsy on the table.
Either go back... or go out for a walk...
Lai Mu yawned, stood up, and slid along the wall, intending to go out for a walk. Anyway, there was no need to worry about safety issues, and he could sneak back when the time was up.
There were a lot of people outside, including reporters, guests from all walks of life, handsome men and beautiful women. The colorful scene was overwhelming.
A certain slime swayed with every step to the beat of the music, looking around as it walked, just like an old man leisurely strolling on the street.
After walking for a while, there was a sudden snap and a hand grabbed Lai Mu's wrist from behind.
A soft and gentle voice blew into Lai Mu's ears at the same time, "Hello, are you separated from your parents? Do you need help?"
Lai Mu turned around, and for a moment, it was like pear blossoms meeting crabapple blossoms, and both of them were stunned by each other's beauty.
What a beautiful lady! X2
The girl in front of him was half a head taller than Lai Mu. Because of the angle, when he turned his head, he saw a pair of plump breasts that could hardly be covered by the shirt, but her shoulders were unexpectedly thin and flat, and there was a small black cross hanging around her neck.
Further up are the angular cherry lips and facial features with a mixed-race texture, and under the long, dazzling golden hair are eyes as moving as water.
With both the exotic charm of the West and the exquisiteness and gentleness of the East, she captured the slime's mimicry heart in an instant.
Oh no, it’s like seeing…seeing…love at first sight!
The woman had a gentle smile on her face, her eyebrows and eyes curved. She was involuntarily attracted by the pretty girl in front of her, so she was absent-minded for a moment.
"you are?"
Lai Mu blinked his big amber eyes, turned his face to the side, and put on a pitiful, harmless and lovable look.
A good hunter often appears in the form of his prey.
The woman suppressed the emotion in her heart and reached out from under her plump breasts to lift up her insignificant work badge, which read Alice Black.
"You can call me Alice. I'm a staff member here, responsible for guiding guests to the Stark Soldiers' Family Fund Gala. I see you wandering around here. Are you lost? Or did you lose something? Do you need help?"
Lai Mu nodded calmly, "Yes, very much. I came here to attend the Stark Foundation Gala, and I left for a walk in the middle. Now I can't find my way back."
A little confused.
Alice smiled secretly, gently took Lai Mu's hand and led him back.
"Then please follow me."
"it is good."
Chapter 26. Anyone who disturbs me from making friends (female) will die
Outside the Disney Concert Hall, he met a big sister he liked, who pulled him back to the hall.
Lai Mu followed quietly behind. The blonde sister's hands were warm and soft, and very comfortable to hold.
Alice, who was walking in front, was also a little excited. She was so lucky to meet such a beautiful and cute little guy. His little hands were cold and soft, feeling like jelly.
The two walked for a while, each with their own thoughts, and entered the concert hall. As luck would have it, Lai Mu returned to the seat where he had just sat, although the chair was gone.
"Here we are. I'll leave now."
Just as Alice said goodbye and turned to leave, a hand pulled her from behind, "Alice, can you chat with me? I'm bored here alone."
Lai Mu tilted his little face up at a 45-degree angle, his big eyes holding a glimmer of expectation and a hint of loneliness, making one feel pity for him.
Lai Mu knows how to take advantage of her appearance.
Alice frowned slightly, and ripples appeared in her eyes.
She couldn't bear to refuse, but she felt a little embarrassed. She could only explain carefully with an apology, "I... I still have a job. The Stark Foundation has provided me with a work-study opportunity. I can't leave my job at will."
Lai Mu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "That's perfect. I need you to receive me on behalf of the Stark Foundation. I am a high-value client. If you can attract a donation for the foundation, I believe the foundation will be happy."
Alice's brows furrowed more and more, and she pursed her lips in a somewhat reproachful tone, "You can't just waste your family's money... I'll chat with you for a while, but not for too long."
Lai Mu handed Alice a few chocolates and asked casually, "Are you a student? Is there anyone in your family who is a soldier?"
Alice opened one and took a small bite.
The smooth and sweet taste brought a warm smile to her face. She nodded gently, "Yes, I'm studying at university. My father is a retired soldier and has received a lot of help from the Stark Foundation."
Lai Mu also laughed, "What a coincidence, I am also in college and just enrolled this year."
Alice widened her aqua blue eyes in surprise, and asked charmingly, "How old are you?"
"Maybe around fifteen? Age isn't important."
It's hard to tell how old Lai Mu is. There's a huge gap between his physical age, appearance age, and soul age.
"Are you here with your family? This doesn't seem like a place you'd come to at your age."
Alice was a little curious why Lei Mu was alone in such an occasion.
The so-called fund gala, in addition to calling for donations, is more importantly a place for people from all walks of life to communicate and talk. They will build relationships with each other and get to know elites in different fields. For them, personal connections are the greatest resource.
It’s not that there is no new generation of young people here, but they all dress as maturely as possible and look ten years older.
Lai Mu was dressed like a high school student and seemed out of place with everyone.
"Well... sort of. I came here with others. I stayed at home for too long, so I came out for a walk. Then I found it really boring here, so I ran outside to take a look."
Alice half covered her mouth, with a sly look in her eyes, and teased him jokingly, "And then you got lost a hundred meters away?"
This……
Lai Mu's eyes were uncertain for a second, but he soon looked at Alice calmly, his eyes were clear and he said confidently, "Some people are born to get lost easily. I am such a person. It's very distressing, but I can't help it."
"Okay, let's assume what you said is true. Then why don't you go to an amusement park or something? It should be more fun there."
Lai Mu nodded in agreement. "That's what I think. I've always wanted someone to hang out with me, to go to an amusement park, a zoo, or something like that, to ride a roller coaster, or to see lions and tigers or something."
He looked full of expectation, yet hesitant to speak, "But no one can accompany me... If there is a chance... can I invite you to the amusement park?"
The loneliness revealed in his words is heartbreaking.
Alice gently stroked her suffocated chest, as if she saw a child who was locked up at home all alone, with no friends to play with and her family busy with work.
"Of course, but do you know how to contact me?"
Lai Mu blinked gently, "I know, I know you know how to contact you."
Alice smiled dotingly, "Remember this, my phone number is 1**********."
Just as Lai Mu and Alice were having a great conversation, a middle-aged gentleman with a high hairline walked over quietly.
He stood beside Laimu with a polite and gentle smile on his face, "Echebe..."
Lai Mu suddenly turned around. Although she was smiling, her eyes were as sharp as a knife stabbing into the man's face.
Who is so tactless to come and disturb us?
"Hello, what do you want to talk to me about?"
The man shuddered, goose bumps appeared on his arms, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
At this moment, his years of experience as an agent told him that some extreme danger was approaching step by step.
The man took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed his stress response, and maintained a polite smile on his face. "…I'm Agent Coulson, and I'm from the Strategic Homeland Defense Attack and Logistics Support Agency. I would like to consult you about Tony Stark's matter. I wonder if you have time to chat with me for a while."
When Lai Mu heard the name Coulson, he looked at the man a few more times in surprise. A familiar face and a highly recognizable hairline, it was indeed the Agent Phil Coulson in his memory.

The basement studio of Stark Villa.
Tony Stark fiddling with a 3D projection.
The design and manufacture of his Mark II has been completed, and the Mark III made of gold-titanium alloy has also been manufactured, but he has not been out to mess around in the past few days.
He honestly hid in his villa to study reusable laser cutters. There were still several technical difficulties that had not been overcome, and he was still a long way from achieving the ideal power.
While he was fiddling with the three-dimensional projection, he told Jarvis, "Jarvis, call Lemu down for me. There's a small problem here. I think maybe..."
"I'm sorry sir, Mr. Etxeberria is not here right now."
Stark was a little surprised, "Not here?"
