"……That's how it is. Ever since that night, she's gone to that district every time. It's just too dangerous. I don't know how to dissuade her because she doesn't like Bruce at all. She even canceled our date, but I clearly…"

Schiller poured himself some champagne and then said, "Running to Gotham's slums for several consecutive nights without encountering any danger. Are you sure she's just an ordinary person?"

Bruce wiped his face and said, "That's exactly what worries me the most. If she were just an ordinary girl, then it would be nothing. But if she's not an ordinary person, and she follows me around like this every day, what else can I do?"

And this matter all started from the last case.

After Jonathan's case was resolved, Bruce didn't completely extricate himself. Or rather, Batman had encountered other troubles.

Last time, Batman rescued Christine from the thugs who kidnapped him. He thought Christine had fainted then, but who knew she was conscious? From that day on, this beautiful girl fell in love with Batman.

That's right, with Batman, not Bruce.

She even directly canceled her date with Bruce a few days later, and every night, she went to the district where she was kidnapped to see if Batman would appear again.

"In a sense, you should be happy. Because of Batman's charm, she even dumped the richest man in the world."

Bruce opened his mouth, his expression extremely complicated.

Being liked by a beautiful girl was certainly something to be happy about, but this matter was too bizarre and strange. A girl fell in love with him, but because she fell in love with him, she dumped another him. If this were written into a romance novel, it wouldn't be clear without 100,000 words.

"Regarding your personal relationships, I have no advice for you, other than to protect your kidneys." Schiller said in the end.

Bruce hadn't expected Schiller's prediction to come true so quickly.

That night, Batman was still patrolling Gotham. He had gained quite a reputation in Gotham recently because he had cleared out all the slums around the Morsen District.

This time, his patrol area wasn't those dirty and run-down slums, but the luxury district where robberies often occurred.

In fact, the probability of serious crimes happening here was no less than in the slums. This was because the slums often had drunken brawls, gang extortion, or group fights. However, in the luxury district, once a gun was fired during a robbery, at least two or three people would fall in a pool of blood. Jewelry store employees could also become victims. The malicious nature of such cases was no less than gang fights in the slums.

Moreover, those who dared to commit such cases were often seasoned veterans. They had division of labor, meticulous plans, and would leave immediately after the robbery, making them very difficult to deal with.

Batman had already dealt with two robbery gangs. It was their bad luck. As soon as Batman had upgraded and arrived here from the slums, he encountered a robbery and murder case. They had killed two female employees and stolen the jewelry from the store. Coincidentally, a pearl necklace was scattered on the ground.

As a result, this robbery gang was now in jail.

The other one wasn't much better. A group of inexperienced clumsy thieves was caught red-handed by Batman, and they were now also going to eat prison food.

That day, Batman was standing on the rooftop of a building opposite a jewelry store. He watched a dark figure slip through the window of the jewelry store's back door. The figure was petite but very agile. The female store clerk opposite hadn't even reacted before she was knocked unconscious by her.

It seemed to be a female thief. Yes, a thief, not a robber. She didn't smash the glass of the jewelry counter, but instead found the key from the store clerk and opened the glass door of the jewelry counter.

Just as she was admiring the luster of a gemstone, a dark figure appeared behind her. He said, "Miss, no matter how you look at it, this gemstone doesn't belong to you."

As soon as she turned her head, her vision went black, and she was directly knocked unconscious.

The female thief's luck was clearly better. Just as Batman was about to drag her to hand her over to the police, a group of robbers rushed into the antique shop opposite. Those were the real robbers, wearing masks, holding submachine guns, carrying sacks, and forcing the store clerks into a corner at gunpoint.

Batman had to put down the female thief first and deal with them. When he came back, she was already gone.

However, things weren't over yet. In the following days, Batman always felt like someone was following him. But the other party seemed agile, and Batman couldn't catch her tail several times.

Until one day, Batman set a small trap. He pretended to throw a bag of gems, just robbed by a thief, into a trash can on the street corner. As expected, the petite figure sneaked into the trash can to pick up the items. Batman grabbed her cape, but unexpectedly, the female thief retaliated with a claw, and Batman was almost disfigured.

Upon seeing that it was Batman, the female thief relaxed. Batman crossed his arms and asked, "The gems, hmm?"

"Don't you think our ears match?" Her voice was very sweet. After speaking, she flicked her ears on her head with her fingers. That's right, her mask also had two ears. Although they weren't as pointed as Batman's, their positions were similar, both on the top of her head.

Batman inexplicably said, "Are you the other bat?"

"Bat?" The female thief said in disbelief, "Who is the bat? I am Catwoman. Don't cats have ears like this? Do you think you are a bat? But what kind of oddity would consider themselves that kind of animal?"

"Catwoman…" Batman savored the name, then he fished out the bag of gems from the trash can and threw it to her, saying, "No cat likes gems. Don't bother the store clerks at the jewelry stores anymore. Since you didn't kill anyone, I'll let you off the hook."

After saying that, he turned to leave, but Catwoman grabbed his cape. Catwoman shook the bag in her hand with a smile and said, "Rich guy, you must have this thing too, right?"

Batman frowned. He didn't know why everyone could tell he was rich.

He had clearly modified the Bat-suit to be very low-key, hadn't used any advanced drugs, and had even slightly crooked his beard.

Batman didn't turn around. He just looked back and said, "I don't have any more. You can't expect a bat to have this kind of thing."

Just as he was about to leave, a whip coiled around his waist. Batman didn't feel any force pulling him, but a soft body pressed against his back. He heard Catwoman whisper in his ear, "If you are a bat, then you are the most interesting bat I have ever seen. We will meet again…"

After speaking, she jumped directly onto the wall of a small alley and disappeared quickly. Batman touched his ear. He thought, a cat that likes gems? What a strange person.

Just like himself.

Unexpectedly, on his way back to the city, he ran into Christine again. This beautiful cheerleading captain was wearing a thick down jacket and a hat, concealing her sexy figure and beautiful face. As soon as Batman saw her, he wanted to avoid her, but after thinking about it, he still walked up. He had to persuade her to go back. It was too dangerous for a girl like her to appear on the streets of Gotham in the middle of the night.

Christine saw Batman and ran over happily, but as soon as she got close to him, she frowned and asked, "Do you have a girlfriend? Did you go on a date with her?"

Batman was confused. He just said, "Don't stay here. Do you know how dangerous it is?"

"But I just want to be your girlfriend." Christine shrugged. It could be seen that she didn't often say this, because usually, others confessed to her.

Batman said, "I don't need a girlfriend. Hurry back."

"Then what's with the Louis Vuitton perfume on you? Don't tell me you like women's scents."

Batman felt very annoyed.

Having been around women for years, how could he not understand these things? He knew that Catwoman had hugged him just now, but he didn't expect this female thief to wear such strong perfume when she went out to steal in the middle of the night.

Batman said nothing and left with a flick of his cape.

Although Batman didn't want to deal with Christine, there was someone who was very interested in her, and that was the new principal, Sheldon.

Don't forget, it was Christine who came forward to testify that the old principal had kidnapped her, and this was the biggest piece of evidence to convict the former principal.

Sheldon knew that the downfall of the old principal and Victor, implicated in the Jonathan case, must have had a mastermind connecting them, as too many mysteries remained unsolved. Who subdued Jonathan? Who rescued Christine? Gordon alone couldn't have handled it.

Sheldon believed that even if Christine wasn't familiar with the person behind the scenes, she must know who he was. He also wanted to understand this issue and unravel the series of connections revealed by the Jonathan case before he could stably take his position. Gotham's relationships were too complex; to gain a foothold here, a good starting point was essential. Sheldon considered the Jonathan case the best subject for investigation.

On the other side, Batman and Catwoman's relationship progressed rapidly. Perhaps there was fate in this world. Catwoman's liveliness and romance were completely different from Batman's serious and suspicious nature, yet he was captivated by her.

The two often roamed Gotham together at night. Although Catwoman couldn't help Batman fight, her skills in infiltration and scouting were top-notch. Catwoman loved all sorts of gems and jewelry, and Batman had plenty of money.

However, they could never agree on the topic of theft. Batman thought Catwoman had a kleptomaniac tendency, while Catwoman felt she simply liked those jewels. Since they were displayed on counters with no one buying them, she saw no problem in taking them to admire for a few days.

Finally, one day, Batman followed Catwoman and stopped her from stealing again. Catwoman was completely enraged by him. During their argument, Batman, being protective, didn't strike hard. But Catwoman, prone to sudden changes in mood, slapped Batman and then stabbed him in the side with a short dagger.

Thus, this scandalous crisis involving Batman turned into a real kidney crisis.
