Xu Fu shrugged: "You said you didn't want to be the female lead in tomorrow's entertainment newspaper, so to avoid trouble, I had to dress up."

An expression of disbelief crossed the girl's face.

"How did you manage to create that face?"

"Just some trinkets, nothing special."

Xu Fu sat back in his chair and said, "Speak, what do you want to see me about? To catch up or to talk about love?"

.... ...... ....

"Who wants to talk about love with you!"

Barbara snorted, ordered a coffee from the waiter, and said in a low voice, "I want to ask you something."

Say it

The girl looked around: "I heard that Tesla's goods were stolen."

Xu Fu narrowed his eyes: "Why do you ask that?"

"Those hundred suits of armor that the bandits stole weren't commercial armor; they were custom-made for the White House, weren't they?"

Xu Fu was speechless for a moment: "Ms. Gordon, you are already a freshman, in the prime of your youth. You should focus your energy on your studies and love life, not on conducting private investigations."

"How come you're just like my dad?"

The girl was very dissatisfied: "I'm not here to be lectured. I just want to know what the functions of these hundred sets of armor are and how effective they are in combat?"

Xu Fu shook his head and said seriously, "As for the characteristics of the mecha, I have signed a very strict confidentiality agreement with the White House, so I cannot say."

"Just tell me, I absolutely won't tell anyone else."

Xu Fu laughed: "Barbara, don't try these tricks, they're useless." Changing the subject, she noticed the serious look in the other person's eyes and said in a low voice: "However, if someone orders me a lower-spec version of the same type of armor, then it will no longer be within the scope of the agreement."

Barbara's eyes lit up, and she quickly pointed to herself.

Xu Fu laughed loudly.

"How much do you think this armor would cost?" he asked, holding up his index finger.

"$150 million!"

"Dear Ms. Gordon, do you have any money?"

Chapter 1304 The Resilient Lady Gordon

The police chief's salary was enough to support the Gordon family's ordinary life, but that was all.

It's impossible for Barbara to find 1.5 million to order the armor; she doesn't have that much money.

Watching the flustered girl, Xu Fu shook his head and laughed, saying...

"Alright, alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. I'll send you the information about the mech's features later, but you have to promise me you won't tell anyone about this. If your father asks, just say it was stolen from Tesla, understand?"

Barbara's face showed a strange expression: "Why are you being so kind?"

Xu Fu spread his hands: "Chief Gordon is one of the few good cops, and I don't want him to die in an accident because of the armor made by Tesla." He paused, then added.

"To be honest, those hundred suits of armor are extremely durable. The FBI and Sky Eye have prepared superhumans for them. Any police officers who encounter them are doomed."

"Okay, dear Ms. Gordon, thank you for your coffee."

Xu Fu put on his glasses, picked up his hat, and prepared to leave.

"Wait a moment."

Barbara called out to him in confusion, "You're just leaving like that!"

"if not?"

"By the way, I almost forgot."

Xu Fu patted his head: "When dining with a lady, the man has to pay the bill."

"Who wants to talk to you about that!"

Barbara turned her head to the side and snorted coldly, "I don't want to owe you a favor for nothing. Tell me what you want, and I can consider it."

"really?"

Barbara nodded: "Of course, but don't expect me to sleep with you, that's impossible."

Xu Fu immediately perked up and sat back down in his chair: "Speaking of which, I do have that request. The reason I dressed like this to see you was actually to invite you to dinner. However, judging from our conversation just now, you seem to have a deep misunderstanding of me. I didn't just suggest dinner, did I?" He smiled slightly and continued.

“Dear Ms. Gordon, would you like to have a romantic candlelight dinner with me?”

"Impossible, don't even think about it."

Barbara slammed her hand on the table in anger: "Xu Fu-Xiao, you have so many girlfriends, like Julie and Haivira, they all admit to sleeping with you, why don't you go to them instead of coming to me? I'm not a supermodel or a female celebrity."

Xu Fu sighed helplessly.

"Barbara, don't believe the news in the tabloids. They're all for fools. Do you know why SHOW and Tesla have developed so quickly? It's because their bosses work fifteen hours a day and they've changed people."

"Do you think someone who only has nine hours of free time a day has the energy to have one-night stands with supermodels and actresses?"

"And those unscrupulous tabloids, they fabricate news to divert attention, writing all sorts of nonsense like 3P, 3P, 3P, 3P, making it seem like I'm breeding! Even if you're going to fabricate something, you should at least provide evidence: photos, recordings, etc. Barbara, when have you ever seen any intimate photos of me with actresses in the newspapers?"

The girl turned her head away: "Who knows? Maybe you're lying."

"If you don't believe me, you can go to the factory and ask around. Outsiders may not know the truth, but the employees who spend all day with me in the production workshop and laboratory definitely know. They are all witnesses."

Hearing his words, Barbara somewhat believed him and murmured to herself.

I just want to tell you why you're so angry!

Xu Fu: "..."

After thinking for a moment, he extended his right hand: "Come on, see me out."

Barbara hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly extended her hand. Xu Fu suddenly pulled his hand away, pulling her into his arms. Just as he was about to take a step forward, Barbara pushed him away, and...

"Don't get me wrong, I only agreed to go on a date with you, I didn't say anything else."

"Okay, let's go shopping. Let's go shopping."

Xu Fushun politely replied, "Where would you like to go? To see a movie, an entertainment center, a bar, or something? To be honest, I'm not very familiar with Gotham City."

A glint of light flashed in Barbara's eyes.

"I'll take you somewhere."

...

Half an hour later, Xu Fu stood in front of the dilapidated-looking dojo outside, glanced at the sign on the door frame, and could only collapse in despair...

"I've never heard of dating at a martial arts gym. If you're interested in wrestling, we can go to a professional place instead of..."

He really didn't know what words to use to describe a martial arts school that didn't even have a signboard.

"Don't underestimate it, this martial arts school is really powerful."

Barbara went inside on her own initiative, and Xu Fu followed her in reluctantly. The decorations inside the martial arts school were the same as outside: furniture from ten years ago, floors that hadn't been replaced in a long time, the only striking feature being its cleanliness and orderliness.

Barbara was very familiar with the martial arts gym. As she habitually squinted at the training ground, she clasped her hands together and bowed to the figure sitting in the sunlight.

"Mr. Long, please leave your training ground to me for now."

The middle-aged man, addressed as Long, nodded slightly, his calm gaze sweeping over Xu Fu walking behind him, lingering for a moment before looking away.

dragon!

Xu Fu raised an eyebrow, looking thoughtfully at the person he was talking to: blond hair, an unremarkable face, around forty years old, long limbs, a well-proportioned figure, not very prominent muscles, but giving people a vigorous and powerful feeling, like a tiger ready to pounce. But what attracted Xu Fu's attention the most was the expression on his face, calm, indifferent, and undisturbed, like a Buddha statue.

"interesting!"

If he wasn't mistaken, this must be Richard Dragon, one of the top martial artists in the DC universe. To his surprise, he was living in seclusion in Gotham City.

"Stop looking, Mr. Long doesn't like to be disturbed."

Xu Fu looked away and turned around.

"You called me here, not to challenge me to a duel, are you?"

“You guessed it, I want to have a duel with you so you can see how good I am.” Barbara waved her fist, then laughed and replied, “Of course, if you’re scared, you can run away. I’ll never laugh at you.”

Xu Fu: "..."

"So, how does it compare?"

Barbara pointed to the ring and said smugly, "Whoever falls down loses, and it's okay if they beg for mercy."

It's easy to understand from the girl's expression that she is very confident in this duel and even intends to take the opportunity to teach Xu Fu a lesson. This is a very normal thought. Xu Fu has shown that strength lies in money and wisdom, and there is nothing to brag about relying on one's own hands.

Xu Fu could only shrug at such thoughts. As someone who had lived two lives, he didn't need to stoop to the level of a young person.

After changing their clothes, the two walked to the front of the ring.

Barbara clenched her left fist and her right hand into a claw, leaning her torso forward slightly at a 5.7-degree angle, assuming a very strange fighting stance. Xu Fu, on the other hand, stood casually beside her, like a novice who had never faced a real fight before.

“Xu Fu-Xiao, I admit you’re smart, but this is a ring.”

"what!"

A loud sound rang out, and the petite body burst forth with terrifying speed, pouncing like a tiger. A right fist struck him squarely in the chest. Xu Fu hurriedly dodged, but unexpectedly, his waist tightened, and Barbara, seizing the opportunity, threw a fierce punch. Such power was not something an eighteen-year-old girl could possibly give.
