Chapter 97
They probably weren't following me; they probably saw this guy as easy prey, just like me!
Better to avoid trouble than to cause more, Selina decided to mercifully let the guy go, steal his Bracelet and get away as soon as possible, since these guys probably wouldn't let him go anyway!
Selina released Su Quan 'Su Quan neck and took his hand, saying, "There's a bar up ahead, let's go to the restroom."
Su Quan pretended to be overjoyed and hurriedly followed her into the bar not far ahead.
In the bar's restroom, Selina stopped Su Quan, took his hands in hers, and said with a smile, "I'll go in first and see if anyone's here. You wait for me here."
"Okay, hurry up."
"Good."
Selina smiled, turned around, and let go of Su Quan's hand.
The moment she released her grip, her slender fingers gently hooked the Bracelet on Su Quan's wrist, then discreetly and nimbly grasped it in his hand, and pushed open the door to enter the bathroom.
"Bang!"
The door closed.
Su Quan glanced at the bare wrist and clicked his tongue softly. "You really dare to steal anything."
Selina stole the Kimo Yuzhu.
Under normal circumstances, the only functions she can activate are basic vital sign scanning and related medical advice.
More advanced functions, such as holographic video imaging and database access, cannot be activated or used at all.
This is still a regular Kimo Yuzhu, but Su Quan's is different from the regular Kimo Yuzhu.
That's part of Friday's program, or rather, a copy of the program is also included.
Without Su Quan's permission, the Kimo Yuzhu were just an ordinary Bracelet with no function in Selina's hands.
Conversely, Su Quan could know its location at any time through Friday, and could also see Selina's every move through it.
That's why he let Selina steal it; otherwise, where would his story with her come from?!
"Beep beep—beep beep—" Su Quan's phone rang in his pocket. He had just bought it half an hour ago.
A map route automatically popped up on my phone; this was the location sent on Friday.
One red dot, one blue dot.
The red represents Su Quan, and the blue represents the position of Kimo Yuzhu.
Judging from the location, Selina, who should have been in the bathroom, must have jumped out of the ventilation window and run away through the alley behind the bar.
Su Quan didn't intend to give chase; he figured he'd let the bullets fly a little longer.
Turning around and leaving the bar, Su Quan canceled his Mind Stone control over the guys who were 'following' him.
It was originally just a little prank of his, but he didn't expect it to scare the Catwoman away prematurely.
"Squeak—"
A silver-white sports car sped up from a distance, then stepped on the gas and stopped on the side of the road in front of Su Quan.
The scissor doors slowly rose, and someone unexpected walked out.
"Oh my god, it's Bruce Wayne? Wasn't he supposed to be dead?"
"He's not dead, he's just missing."
"So he's back? Bruce Wayne's back?"
"He doesn't seem to have aged; he's still so young."
Amidst the whispers, Bruce Wayne had already arrived in front of Su Quan.
Hi, good morning!
Su Quan smiled and raised his hand in greeting!
Bruce Wayne initially thought he wouldn't find him so easily, but—
The search program at the Batcave had just begun when they discovered through roadside surveillance footage that he was walking with a beautiful woman.
This result left Bruce Wayne stunned for a few seconds, somewhat unable to believe it.
"Could we go somewhere else to talk for a bit?"
Bruce Wayne looked at Su Quan in silence for a moment before speaking.
Su Quan nodded readily, "Where to?"
Wayne Manor.
"Good."
Bruce Wayne breathed a slight sigh of relief and turned to invite Su Quan into the car, but out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly realized that Su Quan was gone.
Bruce Wayne quickly looked back, then looked around.
It's gone, really gone.
He also noticed that the people nearby reacted strangely. Such a big, living person disappeared right in front of them, yet they acted as if nothing had happened and were not surprised at all.
"Did you see the person who was talking to me just now?" Bruce Wayne asked the nearest person.
The man paused, then asked, "Am I the one talking to you?"
"It wasn't you, it was an Asian man who was standing here earlier." Bruce Wayne pointed to the spot where Su Quan had just been standing.
The man glanced over and said hesitantly, "There was no one there just now, and no Asian men either."
Bruce Wayne looked straight at him, and from his eyes and expression, it was clear that he wasn't lying.
"I understand, thank you." Bruce Wayne didn't ask any more questions, turned around, got into his car, and drove back to the Wayne Manor.
"Is he out of his mind? You all saw it, there wasn't any Asian man here that he was talking about."
"You're saying he might not have actually disappeared, but instead developed a mental illness and secretly went to get treatment?"
"That's possible."
"He may not be fully recovered yet. Didn't you notice that after he got out of the car, he walked straight over and stood there talking to thin air?"
The news of Bruce Wayne's return after eight years of disappearance had barely made headlines in newspapers large and small.
Another report, suspecting he wasn't missing but rather going for mental illness treatment, instantly overshadowed the previous news and spread throughout Gotham.
Wayne Manor.
Bruce Wayne watched as Su Quan, enjoying his meal and being served by Alfred in his own restaurant, was momentarily speechless.
Deep down, I had a nagging belief that he might truly be omnipotent.
It's not surprising that Bruce Wayne thinks that way, since the Batman of this world has never met Superman, the Flash, or Wonder Woman.
Before meeting Su Quan, he had only been in contact with ordinary people without superpowers, such as the League of Assassins, the Joker, Two-Face.
What happened after he met Su Quan was beyond his comprehension.
However, like all Batmen, he possesses an indomitable Willpower and a skeptical personality, which is why he appears calm.
Bruce Wayne sat down next to Su Quan and asked in a deep voice, "Why did you send me back eight years in the future?"
Su Quan put down his cutlery, wiped his mouth, and said calmly, "Since I admire you, I can answer one question for you. Think it over before you ask."
Bruce Wayne readily agreed and changed the question, "What is your purpose in staying in Gotham?"
Figuring out why Su Quan stayed in Gotham is far more important than knowing why he was sent back eight years in the future!
Su Quan smiled and shook his head, "I thought you would ask who killed your parents. After all, the chance to know the answer is not many for you, or for Bruce Wayne in other worlds."
"The past cannot be undone, but the future can be changed."
"I believe I will know the answer in the future."
Bruce Wayne has no intention of changing his problem.
Su Quan said nonchalantly, "Simply put, my territory is very large, so I need to select some subordinates from the Multiverse that I think are worthy of my attention and train them."
"Your world has a few good things about it, that's why I'm staying in Gotham!"
Bruce Wayne reluctantly accepted this answer.
He thought for a moment and said, "Who are you looking for? I can help you find them."
The three people I'm looking for are: one is your confidante, and another, who, although she might take advantage of you, is also your girlfriend.
The last one was even more ruthless, creating the iconic scene of Batman being betrayed.
This is a real gay relationship, the proper kind!
I need you to help me find it?
Forget it, it feels a bit cruel to you!
Seeing Su Quan shake his head in refusal, Bruce Wayne was somewhat disappointed but not discouraged. After all, Gotham is only so big, and he'll eventually find out who he's looking for.
"Tonight, a memorial service will be held at the estate to commemorate Harvey, and also to celebrate my return. Many people from the business and political circles will be in attendance."
"Perhaps the person you're looking for is among these. Would you like to stay?" Bruce Wayne extended an invitation to Su Quan.
