Chapter 98

The memorial service will be attended by a large number of people from various fields; basically, all the prominent and influential people in Gotham will be there.

If Su Quan's target is among these people, he can make some preparations in advance; if not, at least he doesn't need to worry about Gotham being thrown into chaos because of it.

"There's no need to stay. It's a rare opportunity to come to Gotham, and I'd like to wander around. As for the memorial service tonight, well, we'll see how I feel then."

Su Quan gave a somewhat mocking laugh.

The city's elite held a memorial service for the villain, while the real hero became a wanted criminal—what a huge irony!

So why should we be good people? Why should we be heroes?

Is it really just to wrong yourself and please others?

After eating and drinking his fill, Su Quan left quietly. Bruce Wayne had already gotten used to his way of appearing and leaving.

After sitting quietly for a while, Bruce Wayne went to the Batcave to restart the search program, constantly monitoring Su Quan's location.

Gotham City, with its simple and honest people, Arkham a place where many talented people emerge.

As Gotham City's top tourist attraction, Su Quan certainly wouldn't forget to visit Arkham Asylum.

Unfortunately, Arkham Asylum isn't the main focus in this world; it's not exactly teeming with talent, and we haven't even seen a decent villain.

On the contrary, another more famous location Blackgate Prison, which holds many vicious criminals, such as Scarecrow, the only character to appear in all three parts of the trilogy!

Unfortunately, the Scarecrow in this world is just a psychopharmacologist who sells Fear Toxin as a unique product.

Aside from having some mental issues, he has absolutely no ability to 'drop' anything.

Evening, Wayne Manor.

The Gotham Mayor stood in front of the microphone and spoke eloquently. The celebrities attending the memorial service were all dressed in suits and ties, with their gowns trailing on the ground, holding wine glasses in their hands, each with their own thoughts.

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

"Harvey Dent stood firm and was uncompromising in the face of organized crime, making Gotham safer than it was eight years before his death."

"This city has experienced 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 gives law enforcement agencies the power to deal with thugs, and now people are talking about repealing the Dent Act. To them, I just want to say, as long as I'm here, it's impossible!"

Applause erupted as the mayor delivered his speech.

The waitresses hired by the Wayne Manor, dressed in black maid outfits, walked among the crowd with their heads down, carrying trays full of wine.

"Selina's maid outfit is just as stunning as her Catwoman costume." Su Quan, who was also in the crowd, secretly gave a thumbs up as he watched Selina's figure moving around.

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 isn't the real, half-crippled guy who's been through eight years of hardship; Selina's success won't be so easy.

Selina stole the fingerprints in order to make a deal with someone for a record- erasure program that could wipe criminal records.

In other words, she wants to be an ordinary person, or rather, she wants to live openly and honestly in the sunlight, which I can use to tease her.

Besides Catwoman Selina, Su Quan's other target Miranda, was also present.

Miranda Tate, ostensibly a member of the Wayne Enterprises board of directors and a philanthropist, later gained Bruce Wayne's trust and became the CEO of the Wayne Enterprises.

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

After the death of the Ra's al Ghul, she inherited her father's will to destroy Gotham.

How should I put it? She's a ruthless person, or perhaps a femme fatale.

She swindled Bruce Wayne out of his money and his woman, and then stabbed him in the Backbreaker Bane was one of her people.

Unfortunately, he died in the end.

The memorial service for Harvey Dent Day is just one of tonight's events. With the resignation of former Commissioner Gordon now concluded, the main event that many are eagerly anticipating is next.

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

Bruce Wayne from the movie didn't make an official appearance tonight, but right now, dressed in a smart suit and sporting a social smile, Bruce Wayne's mingling with the crowd.

Su Quan quietly approached Miranda Tate from behind and mischievously whispered a greeting in her ear, "Hi."

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

"You, you scared me!" Miranda Tate turned around and looked at Su Quan, whom he didn't recognize, his brows furrowing.

Su Quan smiled apologetically and extended his hand, saying, "Sorry, my name is Su Quan."

Miranda Tate made no move to reach out; she simply smiled dismissively and turned to leave.

Su Quan withdrew his hand. "Is that so impolite, Miss Miranda Tate, or rather, Miss Talia?"

Miranda Tate had already turned around, suddenly stopped upon hearing this, then turned back with a puzzled look on his face.

"I am Miranda Tate. Who is this Talia you're talking about? Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

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

Miranda Tate noticed her gaze, smiled, and extended her hand. "Hello, I'm Miranda Tate."

One second, five seconds, ten seconds—

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

Miranda Tate maintained a stiff smile and kept his hand raised, but in his heart he had already decided that once he figured out why the man knew his identity, he would make him pay the price.

Five minutes later.

Miranda Tate, who was so embarrassed he was about to scratch his toes, finally saw the other person extend their hand.

However, the other person did not shake her hand, but instead abruptly brushed a strand of hair behind his ear and leaned his body towards her.

"Talia El Gul, I hope you'll have figured out how to face me next time we meet. If you continue to be so rude, you'll miss your chance to fulfill your father's last wish..."

After Su Quan finished speaking, he looked up, smiled at the shocked Miranda Tate, and walked past her.

Miranda Tate instinctively turned to look at him, but in that one turn, the man had vanished.

She looked around the vicinity, searching everywhere, but couldn't find the man at all.

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

Or perhaps, he never existed at all?

Miranda Tate took a deep breath to calm herself down, putting aside the man for the time being; her target today was Bruce Wayne.

Strangely, Bruce Wayne, who was just socializing with people in the crowd, has disappeared without a trace!

Bruce Wayne was silently watching a maid apologize to him in his room.

"Your necklace is so beautiful. It reminds me of my mother's necklace. It can't be the same one, can it?"

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

Selina awkwardly scratched her neck, but the string of beads on her wrist instantly froze Bruce Wayne's slightly smug smile.

"This is--"

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

Bruce Wayne pointed at the beads on Selina's wrist and questioned her sharply in a serious and cold tone.

Selina seemed startled by his reaction, and awkwardly touched the beads. "This, this is a gift from my boyfriend, what's wrong?"

Boy friend?

Is your boyfriend's name Su Quan?

Is your boyfriend the Lord of the Void?

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

Selina Kyle, the wanted jewel thief and con artist!

Because he had investigated her during the day, Bruce Wayne came looking for her when he discovered she had entered the villa as a maid, and that's why he found out she had stolen something.

Bruce Wayne pointed to the Bracelet and said to Selina, "How about I trade my necklace for your Bracelet?"

Selina instinctively gripped the Bracelet: "I told you, this was a gift from my boyfriend. If you want it—you'll have to pay extra!"

Bruce Wayne gave Selina a deep look. Clearly, she didn't know what the Bracelet meant, what its purpose was, or how much trouble she had gotten herself into.

Perhaps she just saw Su Quan as one of those easy targets she could take advantage of?

"If you want money, name your price. This Bracelet —trust me, it will bring you big trouble, big trouble that no one can help you with!"

Selina had carefully examined the Bracelet beforehand, and apart from the unusual material, it seemed to have nothing special about it. But the person in front of her was Bruce Wayne, the richest man in Gotham.

The fact that he could recognize the Bracelet at a glance and was willing to exchange it for his deceased mother's necklace suggests that it must have a higher value.

Since it is priceless, it must be sold at a higher price!

Selina walked hesitantly toward Bruce Wayne, saying as she went, "This Bracelet really was a gift from my boyfriend, but I chose it myself and didn't have time to tell him."

Bruce Wayne grinned slightly. "Just say you stole it."

"I can give it to you, but you must tell me what secret it holds and why it's causing me trouble."
