"Hi, Director Stanton."

As soon as Murphy and Gal Gadot got out of the car, a staff member in uniform came over and said politely, "This way, please."

The "Flower of Lyth" is just one of many items in the Susan Saperstein-convened auction next to a beachside clubhouse in Santa Monica, and is being billed as a charity According to the sales agent, most of the proceeds from this auction will be used to help black children who lost their families in black communities across the United States.

At first glance, this charity auction is really good.

But people like Murphy and other wealthy people can see the tricks at a glance. Not to mention the other antiques put forward by Susan Saperstein, the "Flower of Lyth" alone is of great value. Let go of these incomes? Charity operations have always been one of the best means of tax avoidance. The auction will be labeled as charity. Through proper operations, Susan Saperstein will undoubtedly save a lot of tax money.

If Murphy was the seller, he would also hold such a so-called charity auction.

Entering the auction venue, Murphy and Gal Gadot greeted Susan Saperstein who was standing at the door routinely. The two parties did not know each other, and it was just a few polite greetings.

Then, under the leadership of a staff member, they walked to the seat arranged by the organizer.

"Hi, Murphy."

Not long after walking, someone stood up and greeted him. Murphy turned his eyes and greeted him with a smile, "Hi, Leo."

The man who said hello was none other than Leonardo DiCaprio.

The two chatted briefly, and Murphy asked vigilantly, "Leo, aren't you interested in the 'Flower of Lys'?"

Leonardo DiCaprio shook his head, "My eyes are on some famous eighteenth-century paintings in the hands of Susan Saperstein."

He gestured to the left with his eyes, "She is your main competitor."

Following Leonardo DiCaprio's line of sight, Murphy saw a plump mixed-race woman, the famous butterfly Mariah Carey. '

"A strong competitor." Murphy sighed.

"Isn't she out of date? Is she rich?" Gal Gadot asked.

Leonardo DiCaprio shrugged, "These top singers are all very rich."

The seats of the two parties were far apart, and after a few words, Murphy and Gal Gadot went to the back and waited for the auction to start.

Murphy also took a few glances at Mariah Carey. If she was also interested in the "Flower of Lys", it would be a little troublesome. The financial strength of these Hollywood singers often far exceeds that of movie stars of the same rank.

"Funds can be raised. There is only this one in the manor..." A tall black man and a taller white man walked over, and the black man said, "With my reputation, I can definitely get it from the bank. loan."

Hearing these words, Murphy knew that this must be for the "Flower of Lys", and those two people happened to be sitting at a table to his left, and the two sides were quite close to each other.

Murphy turned his head to look over there, just in time the black man also looked over and looked at each other. Murphy nodded and smiled first, but the black man opposite was a little embarrassed and embarrassing.

"What's wrong?" All this fell into Gal Gadot's eyes. She looked at the familiar black face, then at Murphy, and asked curiously, "What happened between you two."

Although her boyfriend never said it, she knew very well that although Murphy did not discriminate against blacks, he did not like him either.

Murphy touched his nose, "There is a little misunderstanding."

He didn't go into details, after all, the kind of thing he did at the beginning is not honorable at all, so it's fine to tell others, it's better for Gal Gadot not to know.

Having said that, when he got a key start-up capital from Kobe Bryant, Murphy never regretted it or had a bad conscience.

If he did it again, he would still make the same choice. At that time, he didn't have any starting capital, and if he didn't take a risk to win, he might not be in the current situation.

That's right, that tall black man is the NBA basketball superstar Kobe Bryant who made key contributions in the early stages of Murphy's career.

The distance between the two sides was only five feet, and now that they met, Murphy also said hello.

"Hello, Kobe." He smiled and said to the other side, "We meet again."

Kobe Bryant nodded mechanically without any expression on his black face, "Hello."

Murphy shook his head and smiled, but he didn't care. It was just the most basic courtesy. He didn't think Kobe Bryant would have a good impression of him. After he finished speaking, he turned around and continued talking to Gale. - Gadot chat.

Under the table, Kobe Bryant's fists were already clenched. Of course he knew who that bastard was.

He has always remembered the encounter a few years ago, and he also knows that this bastard named Murphy Stanton entered Hollywood without knowing the sky and the earth and became a director.

At the very beginning, he paid attention to the other party, waiting to see Murphy-Stanton's unlucky joke, and the result? It's more than disappointment that can be described, it's like slapping him in the face of a person who is waiting to see a joke. Murphy Stanton has continued to succeed and has become the hottest young director in Hollywood...

These are so disgusting that he wants to vomit blood.

Occasionally recalling the events of the year, Kobe Bryant also thought about breaking the news to the media, but he could only bear with it when it involved his own disgraceful side. It can no longer be described as depressed.

Hearing the name Murphy Stanton and seeing the letters Murphy Stanton, he had the urge to go crazy.

Kobe Bryant looked at an empty chair next to him and wondered if it had fallen on Murphy Stanton.

"Kobe, do you know Murphy Stanton?" A voice full of surprises sounded from the side, and the person who spoke was the tall white man who was walking with him, "You actually know the famous Murphy Stanton!"

"Luke Walton..." Kobe Bryant was about to say something, but the white man named Luke Walton was so excited, he rushed to talk, "Murphy Stanton is my idol! He shot The movie is really great! "Gone Girl", "Man of Steel"... one is better than the other!"

Kobe Bryant's face instantly darkened, but his face was already dark, and Luke Wharton didn't notice it at all. Instead, he stood up and ran over to ask Murphy Stanton for an autograph!

Kobe Bryant was quite speechless by the contrast of his younger brother becoming a fan of his rival.

After all, this is an auction house, and Luke Wharton quickly came back with his autograph. Kobe Bryant was about to get angry, but the excited Luke Wharton got ahead of him again.

"Kobe, the situation is not very fast." Luke Wharton said seriously after sitting down, "Murphy Stanton is also preparing to bid for the 'Flower of Lys'. I advise you to give up."

Picking up the water glass on the table in front of him, Kobe Bryant drank it all in one gulp, the water fell from his throat into his stomach, the cool feeling temporarily suppressed the rising anger.

He looked at Luke Walton and asked, "Why give up?"

"Your income gap is too big." Luke Walton was very considerate of Kobe Bryant, "You can't compete with Murphy Stanton."

He also picked up his cup and took a sip of water, and said, "You may not know, it's been spread in the media now that Warner Bros. and Murphy Stanton signed a 20% global box office sharing contract, " The global box office of Man of Steel has exceeded one billion US dollars, and he can get a dividend of 200 million US dollars! There is also "Game of Thrones", I forget which newspaper or TV station broke the news, the first two seasons Murphy Stanton Personal income of at least not less than 100 million U.S. dollars..."

Luke Wharton is still talking about it, but Kobe Bryant's head is about to explode, that bastard can make so much money! Why can he make so much money?

The question turned around in his head, and he returned to the starting point. Kobe Bryant quickly thought that all this might be because of the money he was cheated of!

Even if Murphy Stanton's rise was not entirely due to that money, he believed it also played an extremely critical role in it.

One's enemy has achieved great success with the funds provided by oneself, and in turn, one has to act according to his face. Is there anything more depressing in the world than this?

Kobe Bryant only felt a breath stuck in his throat, making him feel tight, flustered, and unable to breathe.

However, the younger brother in the team who usually follows his lead is always talking about how good Murphy Stanton is and how he is successful...

"According to authoritative media statistics, Murphy Stanton has a net worth of at least 300 million U.S. dollars." Luke Wharton was still saying, "It's easy to come up with 100 million U.S. dollars..."

Kobe Bryant stood up abruptly, looking at Murphy angrily.

Murphy immediately sensed the piercing look in his eyes. He turned his head, looked at Kobe Bryant who was standing up, and smiled, looking very relaxed and comfortable.

Only Gal Gadot next to him could feel that her boyfriend's whole body tensed up suddenly, as dangerous as a lion that chooses to eat someone. She has no doubt that if someone offends her, Murphy will definitely take it He beat his parents until they didn't know each other.

She had heard from Robert Downey Jr. what Murphy had done in prison, and she knew that Murphy had never been a timid person.

Luke Wharton has stopped, even if he is dull, he can see that the atmosphere is not right now.

The eyes of many people at the scene also fell on Kobe Bryant, and some people followed his gaze to see Murphy, and the staff of the organizer also came over immediately...
