Call Me Godfather

In a Gotham apartment.

Li Ang and Harley Quinn stared at each other.

Harley Quinn was direct, stating she wasn't a good person.

And what she said... Li Ang found quite reasonable.

It was just that Li Ang still had some moral boundaries.

"Honey, don't hesitate."

Harley Quinn knew he was wavering.

"Think about the baby formula money, and since they're both daughters, you'll need to buy them dolls and pretty dresses. How can you manage without money?"

Although America didn't have the saying of raising boys poor and girls rich.

Everyone in the world understood it.

Moreover, with such beautiful daughters, could he bear to let them live a hard life?

Li Ang felt it made sense.

"You don't need to show up, just let me go."

Harley Quinn continued to tempt him, "Besides, if we don't take over the Upper East Side, someone else will. Gotham is always like this. If you don't do it, someone else will. Gangs will never disappear!"

Her words made Li Ang realize something.

Li Ang smiled, "You planned this from the beginning, didn't you?"

"When did you start planning?"

"The moment I met you? Or even earlier?"

Hearing Li Ang's words, Harley Quinn blushed a little.

She had been seen through!

But so what?

"Honey~"

Harley Quinn started acting cute.

"Alright."

Li Ang spoke, "Only you can go. Don't corrupt Kara and Ciri."

His cold eyes looked at Harley Quinn.

Kara was his weak spot.

If Kara hadn't pleaded for her, Li Ang would have driven Harley Quinn away long ago.

"Got it."

Harley Quinn was startled by his indifferent gaze.

Then she sheepishly asked, "What if someone bullies me and I can't beat them?"

Harley Quinn was used to having someone behind her.

She wanted Kara to step in.

But how could Li Ang agree?

Li Ang spoke sternly, "Won't you call the police?"

"Commissioner Gordon is a good man. He can't tolerate any dirt in his eyes, just like me, hating evil like an enemy!"

"That's so boring..."

Harley Quinn muttered, but looking at Li Ang's gaze, she didn't dare to say more.

The matter was settled.

She was a person who couldn't stay idle anyway.

It was impossible for Harley Quinn to stay at home and be a good wife and mother.

Moreover, Li Ang was indeed short on money.

Penguin's salary was barely enough to support one Kara.

And now the household population had expanded drastically, doubling overnight!

A family of two had become a family of four!

Under normal circumstances, if Li Ang wanted to support this family of four, he would have to work two jobs every day like other Americans.

Even then, they might not live well, just barely having enough to eat.

And it was impossible for Harley Quinn to get a job.

She was Harley Quinn, notorious throughout Gotham.

So, it was better to let her do what she was good at.

This was a necessary move to support the family.

"Ciri, are you done washing?"

Kara, hearing no more sounds from the bathroom, took some clothes and walked out.

Li Ang and Harley Quinn also stopped talking.

Even though they knew Kara had heard, she was well-behaved.

This was adult business.

"I'm done."

Ciri's voice came from the bathroom.

Although the bathroom was dilapidated, to Ciri, who had never seen anything like it, it was high-tech.

She had gotten lost in it and ended up taking a long time.

"I'll give you the clothes."

Kara carefully opened the door and handed the clothes inside.

Fortunately, the clothes were similar for both of them. Ciri took a look and finally figured out how to put them on.

After a while, the bathroom door opened, and a clean Ciri finally appeared before everyone.

At this moment, Ciri was no longer as disheveled as before.

She was wearing Kara's dress, and it was new. Kara hadn't even worn it the last time she bought it.

The stains on her body had been washed away, and her skin was like white snow, delicate and tender. Coupled with her identity, it reminded Li Ang of a certain fairy tale.

Snow White.

This was truly skin like snow, not like the Disney remake where the heart was like snow.

Of course, Ciri's distinctive features were her silver-white hair and emerald-like eyes that shone like gems.

At this moment, Harley Quinn could no longer call her "Ugly Girl."

Even though Ciri's world was like the Middle Ages, she was still a princess.

"Wow, you're so pretty."

Kara looked at Ciri, who was like a Barbie doll, and felt like she had acquired a "real-life figure."

How could those dolls compare to Ciri's beauty?

"You're beautiful too."

Ciri shyly lowered her head.

Arriving in a strange world alone, unfamiliar with the surroundings, made her feel a bit shy.

"Come here."

Li Ang beckoned the two women over, then took out water and bread.

These were always kept at home.

Kara was already tired of eating them.

But Ciri swallowed her saliva.

Li Ang handed it to Ciri.

"Is this for me?"

Ciri was a little hesitant.

Li Ang reached out to pat her head, but Ciri dodged slightly.

Seeing this, Li Ang withdrew his hand and said, "You called me Godfather, of course, it's for you."

"Eat slowly, don't choke."

Ciri couldn't hold back any longer.

Those damned people wouldn't give her much to eat, just enough to keep her from starving, and only a few sips of water. She was already starving.

"Delicious!"

With one bite of bread, even though it was just the most ordinary toast, Ciri was still pleasantly surprised.

After all, in Cintra, most people ate black bread...

Then, she choked because her throat was too dry.

"Cough cough!"

"Drink some water quickly."

Kara, for some reason, felt a pang of sympathy and quickly patted her back.

Harley Quinn pursed her lips, looking like a refugee.

After Ciri had eaten something, Li Ang asked, "Ciri, how old are you?"

Ciri thought for a moment, then confirmed, "Almost 12 years old."

Almost 12 years old meant she was just a little over 11.

Li Ang knew she didn't want to be seen as a burden.

So, Li Ang smiled, "Kara is a few years older than you. Would you like her to be your older sister?"

Ciri looked at Kara upon hearing this. Kara also looked at her, and both nodded.

"Okay."

Kara was also happy to have a younger sister.

She felt great sympathy for Ciri now.

To understand the current situation, Li Ang continued to ask Ciri.

"Ciri, can you tell me about your experiences?"

Ciri was clearly reluctant. She was afraid whenever she thought of the past.

It was like a nightmare that haunted her.

But under their encouraging gazes, she slowly began to speak.

"Okay... Godfather."

Ciri didn't know what to call him, so she addressed Li Ang the same way she addressed Kara.

Li Ang immediately smiled, "Since you call me Godfather, you'll be my goddaughter from now on."

Ciri didn't understand the meaning, but Li Ang was willing to accept her, and she liked it here, so she nodded.

She also wanted a haven.

And now it seemed Li Ang, her Godfather, was kind, and Kara, her Sister, was also friendly.

Only Harley Quinn seemed a bit strange, like a clown from a circus...
