Chapter 105

Evening, Wayne Manor.

The Mayor of Gotham stood before the microphone, speaking eloquently. The celebrities attending the memorial were all in suits and gowns, holding wine glasses, each with their own thoughts.

"Harvey Dent Day may not be a traditional public holiday, but we are here tonight because it is one of the important days."

"Harvey Dent stood firm, never compromising in the face of organized crime, making Gotham safer than it was before he died, eight years ago."

"This city has undergone a historic turning point. No city is without crime, but this city has no organized crime, because of Harvey Dent, because of the Dent Act."

"The Dent Act gave law enforcement the power to fight against thugs. Now people talk about repealing the Dent Act; to them, I just want to say, as long as I am here, it is impossible!"

Applause erupted following the Mayor's speech.

The service staff hired by Wayne Manor, dressed in black maid outfits, walked through the crowd with heads bowed, carrying trays full of wine.

"Selina's maid outfit is on par with her Catwoman suit; it's simply amazing." Su Quan, also in the crowd, watched Selina's figure weaving through and secretly gave a thumbs up.

He remembered that in the movie, Selina would take the opportunity to steal Bruce Wayne's fingerprints and even kick over his cane.

This Bruce Wayne wasn't the semi-crippled one who had truly experienced eight years of time; it probably wouldn't be so simple for Selina to succeed.

Come to think of it, Selina stole the fingerprints to trade with someone for a clearing program that could erase criminal records.

Which meant she wanted to be an ordinary person, or rather, wanted to live openly under the sun. He could use this to tease her.

Besides Catwoman Selina, Su Quan's other target, Miranda, was also at the scene.

Miranda Tate, on the surface, was a member of the Wayne Enterprises board of directors and also a philanthropist, who later gained Bruce Wayne's trust and became the CEO of Wayne Enterprises.

But her true identity was the daughter of the League of Assassins leader Ra's al Ghul, and her real name was Talia al Ghul.

After Ra's al Ghul died, she inherited her father's legacy and wanted to destroy Gotham.

How should one put it? She was also a ruthless person, or rather, a femme fatale.

She cheated Bruce Wayne out of his money and affection, and in the end, she even stabbed him—a very vicious stab. The back-breaking demon Bane was her man.

It's just a pity that she died in the end.

The Harvey Dent memorial service was just one of the events tonight. Following the resignation of Commissioner Gordon, the next part was the highlight many were looking forward to.

A welcome party for Bruce Wayne, who had returned after disappearing for eight years!

The Bruce Wayne in the movie didn't make a formal appearance tonight, but now, Bruce Wayne, wearing a well-tailored suit and a social smile, was mingling in the crowd.

Su Quan quietly came up behind Miranda Tate and greeted her in her ear like a prank: "Hi."

Miranda Tate was startled and almost threw the wine glass in her hand.

"You, you scared me!" Miranda Tate turned to look at Su Quan, whom she didn't know, and frowned.

Su Quan smiled apologetically and reached out his hand: "Sorry, my name is Su Quan."

Miranda Tate had no intention of shaking his hand; she just gave a perfunctory smile and turned to leave.

Su Quan withdrew his hand: "Is that so impolite? Miss Miranda Tate, or should I say, Miss Talia."

Miranda Tate, who had already turned away, stopped abruptly upon hearing this, then turned back with a look of confusion.

"I am Miranda Tate. Who is this Talia you speak of? Did you mistake me for someone else?"

Su Quan was silent, glancing at Miranda Tate's hand.

Miranda Tate noticed his gaze and smiled, extending her hand: "Hello, I am Miranda Tate."

One second, five seconds, ten seconds—

Su Quan didn't reach out; he just stared at her fixedly.

Miranda Tate maintained a stiff smile on the surface while still holding her hand out, but in her heart, she had already decided that once she found out why he knew her identity, she would make him pay the price.

Five minutes later.

Miranda Tate, who was so embarrassed she couldn't help but want to curl her toes, finally saw the other party extend his hand.

It was just that the other party didn't shake her hand, but instead abruptly brushed the hair by her ear and leaned his body right over.

"Talia al Ghul, I hope that next time we meet, you have already thought about how to face me. If you are this rude again, you won't have the chance to fulfill your father's last wish..."

After Su Quan finished speaking, he raised his head, smiled at the shocked Miranda Tate, and left, brushing past her.

Miranda Tate subconsciously turned to look at him, but in the time it took to turn, the person was gone.

She looked around searchingly, looking everywhere, but couldn't find the man's figure at all.

It was as if—as if he had vanished into thin air.

Or perhaps, he didn't exist at all?

Miranda Tate took a deep breath and calmed down, temporarily putting the man out of her mind; her target today was Bruce Wayne.

However, strangely, Bruce Wayne, who had just been mingling in the crowd, was nowhere to be seen!

Bruce Wayne was currently in his room, silently watching a maid who was apologizing to him.

"Your necklace is truly beautiful; it reminds me of my mother's necklace. It couldn't be the same one, could it?"

Bruce Wayne looked at the pearl necklace around her neck and chuckled, making a joke that wasn't funny to Selina.

Selina grabbed her neck in embarrassment, but the string of beads on her wrist made Bruce Wayne's slightly smug smile freeze instantly.

"This is—"

"How did you get this string of beads?!"

Bruce Wayne pointed at the beads on Selina's wrist, questioning her sternly in a serious and cold tone.

Selina seemed startled by his reaction and touched the beads at a loss: "This, this was a gift from my boyfriend, what's wrong?"

Boyfriend?

Your boyfriend's name is Su Quan?

Your boyfriend is the Void Lord?

When Bruce Wayne was looking for Su Quan, he naturally investigated the beauty who was traveling with him, which was the thief in front of him.

Selina Kyle, a wanted jewel thief, a con artist!

It was precisely because he had investigated her during the day that when he saw her entering the villa as a maid, Bruce Wayne had come to find her and discovered she had stolen something.

Bruce Wayne pointed at the bracelet and said to Selina: "How about I trade my necklace for your bracelet?"

Selina subconsciously clutched the bracelet: "I said, this was a gift from my boyfriend, but I chose it myself, and I didn't have time to tell him."
