Wayne Enterprises Dinner

"Commissioner Gordon."

Li Ang met James Gordon, but he still called him Commissioner Gordon rather than "Jim."

Even though calling him "Jim" would have sounded more intimate.

But at work, you had to use titles!

"Li Ang, and this is?"

After shaking his hand, Commissioner Gordon immediately looked at Ciri, his expression somewhat odd.

"This is my goddaughter."

Li Ang gave Commissioner Gordon a meaningful look.

Commissioner Gordon said, "Judy, take care of her."

"Ciri, come with me."

The moment she understood, Ciri clutched Li Ang's hand tightly. "No, I want to stay with Godfather!"

She tugged at Li Ang's arm, and her eyes immediately reddened.

She thought Li Ang was abandoning her.

"Alright, alright, let her stay here."

Li Ang gave a wry smile. Ciri's clinginess had exceeded his expectations.

Commissioner Gordon smiled and shook his head, then sent Officer Judy out.

Li Ang sat across from Commissioner Gordon, while Ciri simply jumped onto his lap, not daring to let go at all.

"How come I never knew you had a goddaughter?"

James Gordon looked at Li Ang as he spoke.

If Ciri had not been so affectionate with him, he would have genuinely thought there was something wrong with Li Ang...

After all, on the magical continent known as America, normal people were the minority.

Li Ang had long prepared himself for this.

With a look of deep pity, he gave Ciri a head pat and said, "She's Kara's distant younger cousin. She used to live in the countryside, but something happened to her family some time ago, so she could only come to Gotham to rely on us."

James Gordon did not think there was anything wrong with that.

Many people in America were like this, leaving the countryside for big cities just to chase the so-called "American Dream."

Still, he asked, "What about her identity?"

"The same as Kara's."

Li Ang coughed twice.

Commissioner Gordon smiled and shook his head. "At this rate, I'm going to become someone who specializes in getting identities for you people."

"Oh, right. Your identity has already been taken care of. Are you sure you don't want to get a surname?"

"No need."

Li Ang smiled and shook his head.

He had previously told James Gordon that he wanted to use the name Li Ang Skywalker, but Commissioner Gordon had refused without hesitation...

Had he watched too much Star Wars?

After all, no one actually used a name like that.

So Li Ang simply gave up on using an American-style name and went with his real name.

"Then what's Ciri's real name?"

Commissioner Gordon still decided to help Li Ang.

What could he do? His goddaughter was just too adorable.

Having a cute daughter could bring a lot of conveniences.

"Ciri Fiona Elen Riannon."

Even if this world might have The Witcher novels and games, it was just a name.

As long as Ciri had a legitimate identity, she could go to school and such.

If the Runners knew about Li Ang's connections, they would probably die of envy.

Who knew how many Runners wanted nothing more than a green card?

Yet Li Ang could directly secure one for the people around him.

"That sounds like an aristocratic name."

After recording the name, James Gordon smiled.

"Her family used to be European nobility."

Li Ang smiled.

The continent in the Witcher world had been modeled after Europe. Flip it upside down, and you would find it identical.

So it was perfectly fair to call Ciri an old aristocrat from over there.

Fortunately, Commissioner Gordon did not press the matter. After making a note of it, he said, "I'll get it sorted out for you as soon as possible."

"Is there any progress on the school enrollment?"

He still felt a little embarrassed bringing that up.

Back then, he had wanted to help Kara get in touch with a school, but he lacked Money Power.

"As long as she has an identity, she can enroll."

"That's good."

Time flew by.

Commissioner Gordon moved quickly. Within days, Ciri's identity documents had come through.

And Ciri was a fast learner; she had basically mastered the language.

Under the relentless torment of his Clingy Goddaughter, Li Ang naturally contacted Kate Kane and asked her to arrange Ciri's enrollment in Kara's class.

For someone from the Kane Family, that was no more than a word.

Many things were as difficult as climbing to heaven for ordinary people.

But for rich people, they could be handled with a casual wave of the hand.

Still, Li Ang was somewhat worried. He really did not know what Ciri would learn after enrolling.

But at least that matter had passed.

Besides his two goddaughters, there was the matter of Li Ang himself and Harley Quinn.

There was not much happening at the Iceberg Lounge. The daily work was much like going to an ordinary job.

Penguin Cobblepot had not recruited him into the Criminal group.

After all, Penguin Cobblepot knew about his relationship with Harley Quinn. No matter how broad-minded he was, he could not possibly place much trust in Li Ang.

Li Ang was happy enough with that. He had no desire to get involved with any of it. He was a good man.

All he needed was a stable source of income.

And their lives really had been getting better and better.

There was a saying that went well.

All the ways to make money were written in the criminal code.

Once Harley Quinn had taken control of the Upper East Side, Li Ang's family no longer lacked food or daily necessities.

They were even planning to move into a new home.

After all, their current apartment was too small. It had originally been for Li Ang and Kara, but now four more people had been crammed in.

Overall, life had become more and more prosperous, and they had more and more to strive for.

"Darling, you got an invitation."

Harley Quinn was wearing his shirt, while everything else had simply vanished.

Luckily, both goddaughters were at school and not home.

Perhaps it really was true love. Although they had occasionally argued lately, not only had they not broken up, Harley Quinn had instead grown increasingly dependent on him.

It could not be helped. He could always reach the deepest parts of Harley Quinn's heart.

Whenever they argued, all he had to do was teach her a harsh lesson, and everything would be okay.

Harley Quinn could also feel his sincerity. Unlike the Joker, he was not merely trying to use her.

By now, Harley Quinn no longer reacted even when she heard the word "Joker." They had become complete strangers.

She was Li Ang's woman now!

"Whose is it?"

Li Ang was making dinner.

"The one who needs to be set straight."

Harley Quinn burst out laughing. The moment Li Ang heard that, he knew.

Kate Kane.

At first, whenever Kate Kane came around, Harley Quinn had treated her with hostility.

She had thought Kate was there to steal her man.

Once Kate Kane found out, she immediately told Harley Quinn about her orientation.

Harley Quinn had then mercilessly mocked her for needing to become normal.

Naturally, Kate had not come for Li Ang. She had come for Li Ang's two goddaughters.

Li Ang had noticed it long ago: Kara had become quite the hot commodity.

Naturally, he treasured it dearly.

"Let me see."

Li Ang took the invitation and looked it over.

It actually bore the logo of Wayne Enterprises.

"What kind of invitation is it? Are they inviting you to some orgy?"

Harley Quinn asked eagerly.

She was still the same crazy bitch, not changed in the slightest.

Li Ang showed it to her directly.

"Wayne Enterprises' charity dinner. They're inviting me to attend."

"That's boring."

Harley Quinn said, "You go by yourself."

Right now, she was only interested in making money.
