Private topics between mature women are often about unexpected and unpleasant things about men, especially between acquaintances, as was the case with Vanessa. After she confirmed in every possible way that Salomon did not have some unspeakable relationship with Athena, she let go.
Kailai came and told her own story, including her meeting a prince wearing a white suit and wide tie at an art exhibition and her subsequent affair, which made Salomon look embarrassed. After telling her own experience, Fanny
Sha then turned the topic to Athena.
"Where's the gentleman who usually comes with you?" she asked. "I haven't seen him for a long time. Arthur, right? If I remember the name correctly."
The Mystic Mage's eyes sharpened in an instant, and he related what Athena had said before, as well as the Supreme Mage's true identity and legend. He understood that the Supreme Mage used Camelot's traditional skills again, wearing men's clothing and
Athena came to the art exhibition - it seems that it was only in the past few years that the Supreme Master evolved into a dead man who competed with him for snacks. The former Supreme Mage was also a person of taste. No wonder when he was in the British Museum,
Athena found him so quickly because she already knew that Salomon would go to the British Museum to look for the ring.
Perhaps as soon as he set off, the Master informed Athena that the Sorcerer Supreme had more connections with these old gods than he imagined.
After Athena noticed Salomon's eyes, she immediately knew that Salomon had figured out the relationship. She quietly rolled her eyes, lightly diverted Vanessa's attention, and asked Vanessa what happened next.
I planned to come. But Salomon was not interested in listening. He walked aside and looked for his favorite food on the buffet table.
Perhaps it was because of the courses Athena set for him, or the art courses at Eton College. Various reasons prevented Salomon from appreciating most abstract oil paintings. In other words, he was unable to appreciate such overly subjective works of art.
He didn't like her, which also made him lose interest in Vanessa.
The oil paintings he can appreciate all belong to the classical genre, and his favorite oil painting is Lavinia Fontana's painting of Athena - although Athena herself always said that the painting did not look like her.
, but the Baroque-style oil painting was still bought by her at a high price and collected, leaving only the fake on display. As for Athena's favorite painting, it must be Rembrandt's "Athena, the Goddess of War"
”, the portrait of a heroic woman in armor was deeply loved by Athena herself.
"You shouldn't be alone here, let alone eating sandwiches with nothing to do. This is an art exchange exhibition." After an unknown amount of time, just when Salomon was about to eat the second piece of Spanish ham, his hand touched
He was caught, and then, a force that he could not resist pulled him farther and farther away from Spanish ham.
Athena had ended the conversation at this time, and she finally recalled that she did not come to the art exhibition alone. "I have already discussed it with Vanessa," she said, "I will sponsor her to open a gallery in New York.
It’s just that not all of her paintings have been shipped to New York yet, so we have to wait for a while.”
"Very good, you have become her sponsor now." Salomon glanced at the buffet with nostalgia, he sighed, and shrugged, "What can I say? I can't appreciate abstract paintings, except three-dimensional paintings.
I think those who fund abstract painters are all taken advantage of, and it makes no sense to fund abstract painters like Vanessa. Although the contrast between white paint and white canvas can reflect a sense of movement, it is meaningless.
Such a painter is so unstable that you will only lose money on your investment. Maybe I should stick a banana to the wall with a piece of tape next time. After all, whatever an artist does is art, isn't it?"
"This cannot be generalized, Salomon, I am not here to make money, but I will not make any long speeches here." Athena tightly grabbed Salomon's arm and dragged him to the exhibition area, "I am in a long
I have found some interesting things to do in my years, and socializing is one of them. I like to watch those stupid princes and nobles talking, and what they say is really funny. Although there are fewer nobles now, and businessmen
There are more people, but human beings still haven’t changed, and fools still make up the majority.”
"You are right, my dear single mother Minerva, the majority are idiots, otherwise populism would not be so prevalent in the land under our feet." Salomon hugged Athena's waist and watched with boredom.
He was talking to the noisy crowd. Then, he spotted a familiar figure. "Do you remember the story I told you about Salem three hundred years ago?" He asked Athena, "It's those weird and terrifying things.
s story."
"The one related to the beholder?" Athena blinked, "And the beautiful red-haired spy."
"Please don't mention the latter one. I guarantee that it has nothing to do with the female spy. It's been so long and you still remember Natasha." Salomon said, "What I'm talking about is the one who faced the evil god head-on.
An excellent investigator who didn't completely fall into madness. Although the temporary madness caused him to lose a little memory, I don't think it's a big deal. He can even bring his girlfriend to the art exhibition. Hello, Coulson, I
I didn't expect that you would be on vacation in a few days, Nick Fury is really kind to you."
"Hi!" Colson's forehead lines almost touched his hairline. He never expected that Salomon would actually appear in New York and at the art exhibition at the Four Seasons Hotel. In fact, if he still
If he were at work, he would know about Salomon's appearance in New York.
"You..." He glanced at the female companion beside him, acting a bit like a cave creature who met an acquaintance outdoors, "Why are you here?"
"I am a person with a very high level of aesthetics, Colson." Salomon greeted the female companion beside Colson, "Hello, madam, I am Salomon Damonette.
This is my adoptive mother Minerva."
"Audrey." Colson's girlfriend glanced at him, smiled and shook hands with Salomon and Athena, "I just came from Portland yesterday, you are... Phil, right?
Are you friends with Coulson?"
"I'm not, he is." Athena held the mystic's arm, "I heard that my son and Coulson experienced many adventures."
"Wow? Then I have to listen to your agent's story. Phil is always mysterious." Audrey raised her eyebrows, "But I have to say, you take good care of yourself and look very young.
.”
"It seems that the gentlemen have something to say. Ms. Audrey, if you don't mind, I can introduce you to several talented artists." Athena let go of Salomon's arm, and she stepped forward to hold it.
Holding Audrey's arm. As she passed the mystic, she stared at him with a stern look. "I'll settle the score with you later!" She lowered her voice and said to Salomon, "Including directly treating the female spy.
I have a very good memory when it comes to calling her by her name, as well as the witch!"
"Really? Thank you very much!" Audrey was a little surprised, because neither Colson nor she was very familiar with New York, and they came to the art exhibition just for a date in this suitable place.
"Come with me, you will feel that your trip is worthwhile." Athena turned her face, as if all her anger had disappeared.
Colson and Salomon watched Athena disappear into the depths of the exhibition hall with Audrey.
"I didn't know you had an adoptive mother who was so young and beautiful. Does she know your identity?" Colson looked at Salomon and asked curiously, "What do you want from me? Don't tell me.
You just came to say hello."
"I'm here to ask you about Johnny Blaze." Salomon said, "Don't worry about anything else."
"I'm just happy because you have a complete family. As for Ghost Rider, that's top secret and I can't reveal it at will."
"Stop it, I know a lot more than you. I want to know where he is now. I'm too lazy to use prophecy to divine his location." Salomon snorted contemptuously, "And his girlfriend.
Roxanne - she disappeared just one day after we sent her back, you should have done this, right?"
"She is very safe now. We have dedicated personnel to protect her safety." Colson's expression was a little embarrassed. Everyone could hear the subtext behind this scene. Because Roxanne didn't need anyone else to protect her, Johnny
·Blaze’s enemies won’t be ordinary humans, and SHIELD can’t stop him at all.
This behavior is not so much protection as it is an attempt to monitor and control Johnny Blaze through Roxanne.
"It's so cute." The Mystic Mage figured out the connection at once, and he also started to speculate, "Does Nick Fury think Ghost Rider can defeat the Mystic Mage?"
"The director definitely doesn't mean this. We have a friendly and cooperative relationship with you."
"Whatever. I need you to tell Nick Fury that I need to talk to Johnny Blaze. Your director's phone has been out of reach for the past few days, which is really annoying. He wants to call me.
Just send text messages, I want to call him back but I can’t find him!”
"Director Fury can't agree to this, because...because Ghost Rider is missing, even Roxanne can't contact him."
