Chapter 533: Gathering (Seeking Collection, Recommendation, and Monthly Ticket) Last 24 Hours to Request Monthly Ticket

Lyon's trial was held three months after he was arrested. Because the evidence was conclusive and Lyon refused to be defended by a lawyer, the trial ended quickly. Lyon was sentenced to 81 years in prison. At his current age, he will not be able to get out.

On the day the trial ended, Matilda burst into tears. This was the first time Matilda had seen Lyon in three months, and it was also the last time she saw him. She applied to visit Lyon countless times within three months, but Lyon refused. It was not until the trial that Matilda saw Lyon in court. Kai pleaded with the judge and was allowed to let Matilda meet Lyon accompanied by her adoptive mother Chloe.

Lyon did not say much to Matilda, but only told her that she must live a good life in the future. Then he ended the conversation unilaterally. This made Matilda very, very sad.

His approach was decisive and clumsy.

As early as a month ago, Chloe was discharged from the hospital. The hospital was very surprised at her recovery speed, but it was not impossible. After all, everyone's physique is different. After being discharged from the hospital, Chloe went through the adoption procedures.

Originally, for adoption applications like this, children's institutions generally prefer applicants with complete families. Don't forget that Kai has money. In addition, Chloe herself is an excellent police officer and her family's financial situation is very good, so there is naturally no problem with the application

Matilda had no resistance to Chloe's adoption. Even Chloe's daughter often played with Matilda during Matilda's hospitalization. Perhaps Chloe's daughter was about the same age as Matilda's brother, which led to Matilda's love for her and even allowed her to play with the teddy bear that Chloe repaired.

In short, everything is moving in a good direction.

Although Kai has been very busy these days, because of Hannibal's sudden disappearance, overall, he has returned to his original state. Kai has gradually adapted to life in Los Angeles, and everything is unfolding in an orderly manner.

Just a few days ago in the afternoon, Brian, who had not been in contact for a long time, suddenly called Kai and invited him to a party. Speaking of Brian, Kai really hasn't seen him for a long time. During this period, Kai attended several parties held by Stuart, but he didn't attend. Brian accepted Stuart's invitation and joined Stuart's security company. Although he was there most of the time when he was on a mission, he disappeared once there was no mission, and even Stuart couldn't find him sometimes.

Originally, they also speculated whether Brian had a girlfriend.

As a result, they got the answer now.

Brian actually accompanied his daughter to various body shape classes and vocal classes every day during this period!

What a filial father!

Brian's daughter Kim has always had a dream of becoming a star, and Kai also helped introduce her to Isabella of Psylocke Entertainment. As a result, Isabella didn't think highly of Kim. This is Los Angeles. There are handsome men and beautiful women who dream of making a name for themselves in this entertainment capital every day. There are also many characters who can sing and dance well. But there are only a few people who become famous every year. Even fewer people can finally achieve success and fame. I don’t know how many people suddenly become popular, but disappear after a while.

Jin’s conditions are definitely not bad. After all, her parents are very good, but they are definitely not amazing. The same is true for singing and dancing. The innate conditions cannot be said to be bad, but they are definitely not top-notch.

Isabella believes that if there is no special opportunity, Jin can only play the second female role in some soap operas.

But Jin’s heart is higher than the sky. She thinks that she can occupy a place in this city of luxury by her own hard work. So she rejected the training opportunity given by Psylocke Entertainment. Kai didn’t have any special feelings about this. He just helped for Brian’s sake. If others don’t want to, what can he do?

And today’s party is also related to Jin.

Because she released a record!

Jin was very happy, thinking that her efforts during this period had paid off, and someone finally discovered her talent and was willing to give her a chance. As soon as she was happy, she planned to hold a party.

Since Jin was not yet an adult, Brian was worried. He was afraid that a group of young people would get together and do something bad, so he very cunningly suggested to call all his friends over, not only would there be more people, but also more people could promote the record.

Jin thought about it for a long time and finally agreed.

Brian then called all his friends and asked them to attend the party held by Jin.

To be honest, according to Brian's age, his friends basically would not attend a party held by a teenage girl, because they had nothing in common. But they couldn't resist Brian's invitation.

In general, Brian is a rather cold guy. It can't be said that he is not good at socializing, but he is indeed not enthusiastic. Those who can become friends with him are really friends.

So in the face of Brian's invitation, most people didn't feel embarrassed to refuse. Including Kai.

Kai is already 10,000 years old, and the generation gap is even bigger.

…

The party was held at Brian's home. Brian's house is in the Silver Lake community, which is located in the middle of Los Angeles and is built around a city reservoir, so it is called Silver Lake. In the vicinity of the Silver Lake community, there is not only a reservoir, but also a small hill that is not very high. The picture above shows the sunset in the evening! The golden afterglow sprinkled on the hilltop, very beautiful! Although the community is not very new, the surrounding supporting facilities are quite complete. At the same time, it is also a "fashionable place" in Greater Los Angeles, and it is the most suitable place for literary youth. Various exotic bars, restaurants, wine shops, art galleries, coffee shops, handicraft workshops, band performances, etc.

This place is quite good, and the house price is not too high, at least Brian can afford it.

His house is not a wooden house like that of an ordinary middle-class family, but a brick and stone house with a European style. Not only that, he also has a very large backyard, facing the reservoir, with a great view, and the area is enough for more than 30 people to hold a party there.

Kai was late because of the problem of getting off work and having to drive.

When he arrived, the party had already started. But what's interesting is that although the party looks lively, the people at the party are divided into two groups. One group is obviously young people, including many black people. They gather together without paying attention to others, playing loud rap music, reveling wantonly, and sometimes jumping into Brian's swimming pool.

The other group is a group of old men. Most of them don't have any feelings for those pop music. They hold big cups, enjoy barbecue, and keep drinking. From time to time, they look at the young people with dissatisfaction. The music is too loud, so they can't have a good chat.

Brian is also very distressed. He originally planned to take this opportunity to get together with old friends, but those young people are too oblivious to others.

"Kai!"

Kai just walked into the party and Jin found him first. Jin was very impressed with Kai. After all, there are very few young people like Kai in his father's circle of friends.

"Congratulations, Jin. I wish you a big record sale!" Kai and Jin hugged.

At this time, Brian also came over.

"Kai, you're late!"

"No way, I'm busy. Here, this is a gift for you!"

Although Jin is the organizer of the party, the gift should be given to her, but... to be honest, if it was just Jin, Kai would not be interested. Moreover, Kai didn't know what to bring to a girl of this age, so he simply brought a bottle of wine.

"Chivas Royal Salute 21 Year Old Whisky? Good stuff!" Brian, like many Americans, likes to drink a few glasses. And he likes to collect wine very much. Although the wine he collects is not famous wine due to financial reasons, he knows a lot about this industry.

Royal Salute 21 Year Old Whisky was specially brewed in 1953 to celebrate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The name originated from an ancient tradition: the Royal Navy fired 21 gun salutes to express the highest respect. The solemnity of the brewing of "Royal Salute" can be seen from the strict selection of oak barrels for storing the wine. First, it must be strong enough to ensure long-term storage, and second, it must have stored Spanish sherry or American bourbon whiskey. The most important thing is that the liquor must be aged for at least 21 years. The impurities in the liquor are taken away by the fresh air through the breathing of the oak. At the same time, the whiskey also absorbs the aroma of the oak.

After 21 years, the liquor is concentrated to only 60% of the original. At this time, a series of unique blending ratios are carried out to finally brew the "Royal Salute" with a rich and complex taste. This precious 21-year-old whiskey is packed in a blue porcelain bottle, which is more elegant and luxurious. Each bottle is cast with a royal emblem label with the abbreviation of the Queen's inscription printed on it. The red, blue and green emerald gems inlaid on the Queen's crown are transformed into a three-color bottle. The bottle is engraved with a warrior dancing with a long sword and riding a war horse, and there are two salutes on the trademark to decorate its extraordinary value.

A group of old men were quickly attracted by this bottle of whiskey. Whiskey is the favorite of mature men. Beer and the like are too bland and not as heavy as whiskey. It doesn't taste strong enough.

"I'll get some ice cubes!" Brian was excited. This kind of wine is also sold on the market. The price is not too expensive, only a few hundred dollars, but the bottle that Kai took is a collector's edition, which is more expensive. The key is that this series is very rare on the market, and you can't buy it even if you have money.

Although Kai thinks this thing is just hunger marketing, many people can't resist it.

Jin also started to introduce his friends to Kai.

At first, it was the black gang. How to say it, these guys are from the same record company as Jin. A group of rappers, said to be a gang. Maybe they smelled the smell of cops from Kai, so these people were not enthusiastic about Kai. Kai didn't care about this, because he also smelled the smell of assholes from this group of people.

Then it was Jin's friends.

Most of them were beautiful girls. Kai's attitude towards this was much better. Who doesn't like beautiful girls?

At this time, Brian prepared ice cubes and was pouring wine for everyone.

Royal Salute 21 years is a full amber color. Mixed with soft and sweet floral fragrance and light tobacco flavor, the fruity aroma is mellow. The aftertaste is rich, mellow, and the fruity aroma is long and rich. The taste was quite good, at least everyone else was satisfied.

But Kim and her friends didn't have this good fortune, after all, they were not yet of legal drinking age.

Then Kai started chatting with Stuart and the others.

It was also through them that Kai learned that the reason why Kim was able to release a record was not entirely due to her efforts. Well... Kim's efforts accounted for 20%. The other 80% was due to Brian's sincerity.

What sincerity? Of course it was money!

This record was all paid for by Brian himself!

Kai was stunned, and others didn't quite understand. To be honest, even Kai, a Chinese, couldn't accept Brian's behavior. He was too doting on his children. Not to mention a bunch of Americans, they didn't understand why Brian did this. It was a waste of money and had no practical significance.

Fortunately, everyone knew that Brian always felt that he owed Kim, and he did this to make up for the debt over the years, so no one was so unkind to expose him. Realizing that everyone tacitly stopped talking about this topic, they turned to other things, such as Iron Man, Batman and Hannibal the Ghost Butcher, who were very popular some time ago.

Kai is a policeman. In the eyes of others, he must know a lot of information, so one by one they pestered Kai and asked him to talk.

Since no one would take it seriously, Kai just made it up. He shared the reports made by the psychological profilers in the bureau with others as intelligence. Others didn't care whether they were true or not, so they just took it seriously. No one cared anyway.

While they were chatting here, the young people over there got into trouble again.

It turned out that among the classmates invited by Jin, there was a girl named Jiali, who looked a little rustic and not very popular. At school, Jiali became the target of bullying by classmates because she was not good at socializing.

Jin did the same thing, but she was a kind child after all, and she felt very guilty about what she did. She didn't really want to bully Jiali, but... everyone around her did it, and Jin didn't have the courage to resist everyone, so she went with the flow and participated a few times, but then she regretted it more and more, so she invited Jiali, wanting to use this method to make Jiali get along with others and get the understanding of others.

It's just that her idea is good, but some people don't think so.

Kim has two best friends at school. One is called Chris, the captain of the school cheerleading team. She is rebellious and unruly. Together with a group of bad girls in the school, they enjoy bullying classmates all day long. She is the main force in bullying Carrie. The other one is called Amanda. She is cheerful and courageous. She likes to try new things. Generally speaking, she is a good girl, but she doesn't think there is anything wrong with bullying Carrie.

And this time, the matter is related to the three of them.

Before, because Chris bullied Carrie at school, she was punished by the school because she was too much. She was educated well, but she did not restrain herself. Instead, she deliberately wanted to humiliate Carrie further.

So when Kim invited Carrie, she not only did not stop it, but added fuel to the fire, intending to humiliate Carrie in this occasion.

A group of black rappers came today, and she planned to use them to humiliate Carrie.

She and Amanda told those black people that Carrie was a bitch who liked H, and she wanted to taste what black people tasted like. And she liked that kind of rough behavior.

The group of horny black men immediately turned into wolves upon hearing this, and actually intended to use violence against Carrie.

Seeing that Carrie was really about to be bullied, Amanda came to her senses and realized that this was over the line!

But Chris did not let Amanda stop them.

When the two were arguing, Kim noticed it, so she ran over to stop them, and then had a conflict with the black men.
