Kara and Ciri were now a trio.
Besides the two of them, there was also Rachel Roth, whom they had met before. The three of them were a group at school.
They always left school together.
Since Rachel lived nearby, they were on the same route.
"Godfather, Rachel's mom isn't coming home today, so she's coming to our house."
Kara said as soon as she entered.
Ciri had completely integrated in during this period, returning to her "hot-tempered" nature. She wasn't afraid of anything anymore and had become carefree and boisterous.
Other than still being a crybaby and clingy, she was completely different from the shy girl she had been at first.
To be honest, Li Ang still preferred quiet daughters.
Even Kara had become a little more carefree under Ciri's influence.
"No problem."
Li Ang said, "I happened to make some of your favorite dishes."
During this time, Li Ang had been cramming cooking skills like crazy and had finally improved.
He could now make Cola Chicken Wings, Sweet and Sour Pork Ribs, Stir-fried Eggs with Green Pepper and Ham, and more.
Everything he learned was food that children liked.
The results were obvious. Especially with the Cola Chicken Wings—Kara and Ciri nearly gnawed the Bones clean every time.
Soon, Li Ang brought out the dishes. Four women were sitting in the living room, and not one of them had a normal hair color.
Kara was blonde, Ciri had silver hair, and Rachel Roth had a head of purple hair...
Seen that way, Harley Quinn's hair color was practically normal.
Anyone who didn't know better would think Li Ang was running a zoo in his house.
"Rachel, hurry up and try the food my godfather made."
"This is real Chinese food."
Rachel Roth was the most reserved and shy of the three. Only after hearing that did she reach out and take a chicken wing.
Li Ang merely had them wash their hands instead of forcing them to use Chopsticks. After all, they were children and could learn slowly.
"It's delicious."
Rachel Roth's eyes lit up after one bite.
Cola Chicken Wings were originally a dish made for children, though even adults loved them.
Besides, the cola in America had a higher sugar content, making the Cola Chicken Wings even sweeter.
People here already liked Desserts, so naturally children loved it too.
"If it's good, eat more."
Li Ang said.
Then, Several people began fighting over the food.
Mainly because Harley Quinn didn't spoil them and joined in the scramble herself.
Li Ang, meanwhile, didn't join the fun.
As a result, the meal ended quickly, and the Three little ones were all stuffed.
"You can play at home by yourselves, but don't stay up too late. Remember to go to bed early."
Li Ang reminded them.
"Got it."
Then, the three Little girls hurried into the room.
As for Li Ang, he had preparations to make.
"Darling, I've never seen you wear a suit before. You're so handsome."
The moment Harley Quinn saw Li Ang change into a suit, she immediately turned starry-eyed.
She had always been a Love brain.
She could disregard everything for the person she loved. Even if she was being used, she wouldn't care.
Even if Li Ang wanted to kill her, as long as he didn't succeed, she would still follow him.
What Love brain could compare to Harley Quinn?
Li Ang was quite satisfied with her too. The emotional validation was absolutely maxed out.
"Are you really not going?"
"No."
Harley Quinn shook her head, but to match Li Ang, she still changed into a red dress.
Then, the two left the house and went their separate ways.
Wayne Hotel.
Wayne Enterprises had a presence throughout all of Gotham, across every industry.
Wayne Hotel was Gotham's largest hotel, rated five stars and located in the City Center. Ordinary people simply could not afford to stay there.
Wayne Enterprises' Charity dinner was a grand affair this time. It was said that even wealthy people from Metropolis had been drawn here.
And to ensure public safety, the Gotham Police Department had deployed all its officers.
As a result, Gotham was unusually safe tonight.
A red carpet had been laid out at the hotel entrance, just like in Hollywood.
Reporters lined both sides of the red carpet, frantically photographing the figures at the pinnacle of fame and fortune.
The people attending were either Gotham's wealthy elite or rich tycoons from Metropolis.
Li Ang felt somewhat out of place.
But he did not feel inferior in the slightest.
Kara had asked him before whether this world was fair.
Of course it was not fair.
But so what?
"Who is he?"
Li Ang walked down the red carpet, but no one recognized him.
Still, because he looked handsome in a suit, some reporters took pictures of him.
Li Ang had no intention of lingering and hurried inside.
Nor did Li Ang cause much of a stir. Soon, the sound of camera shutters came from behind him.
"So beautiful."
"With that face and that figure, who wouldn't be dazzled?"
Li Ang stopped and looked back.
A tall woman with short black hair was walking down the red carpet, seemingly enjoying the moment immensely.
She really was beautiful, and she possessed a wild aura.
It was the kind of aura that filled men with the urge to conquer her.
"Who is she?"
Li Ang could not help becoming interested.
No matter how pretty Harley Quinn was, one would eventually grow tired of her.
Besides, Li Ang was someone who liked novelty by nature. Being faithful was impossible for him; that was practically his only hobby.
"She should be Selina Kyle."
A voice sounded beside Li Ang's ear.
Selina Kyle—the famed Catwoman!
Li Ang had been in Gotham for some time, yet he had not heard of Catwoman committing any crimes during that period. He had thought she had already left Gotham.
Now it seemed that this Kitten had merely stopped.
"Thank you."
Not knowing what he was thinking, Li Ang thanked the person who had spoken.
But after taking a look, he froze.
The man was powerfully built, with a distinctive air about him.
Of course, the most important thing was the reporter's badge hanging around his neck.
"Daily Planet, Clark Kent!"
Li Ang's heart jolted when he saw that name.
This was the cousin Kara had been thinking about day and night!
But judging by how he looked...
He was already older than Kara.
After all, Kara had slept in the Phantom Zone for so long that, as time passed, she had no way to sense it.
What a pleasant surprise.
Li Ang did not know how to tell Kara about this, so he could only wait a little longer.
"Clark?"
"Yes, sir."
Clark Kent looked somewhat surprised at Li Ang.
"I'm Li Ang. I love making friends."
Li Ang held out his hand. Clark Kent shook it, and the two even exchanged phone numbers.
For the time being, though, that was the extent of their connection.
Clark Kent had yet to become Superman. For now, they were simply acquaintances.
Once Clark became Superman...
Li Ang could shamelessly ask him for a Battle Suit for Kara.
For the sake of his beloved daughter, an Old Father's pride was not important.
Li Ang did not linger at the entrance. After presenting his invitation, he prepared to head inside.
By then, Selina Kyle had come up behind Li Ang, and the two exchanged a glance.
Although they had never crossed paths before, Li Ang still smiled.
Selina Kyle, dressed in formal attire, nodded in return.
Just then, the entrance erupted into excitement.
Because Bruce Wayne had arrived in person.
That was an extremely rare occurrence.
