As everyone knew, Bruce Wayne was rarely seen at night.
He was unlike other tycoons.
He often lived the life of a playboy during the day, then practically vanished at night.
That was why it was usually difficult to spot Bruce Wayne at dinners like this.
While everyone else waited for Bruce Wayne, Li Ang simply went inside.
This was a charity dinner, and wealthy guests were expected to make donations.
To lend the event some prestige, Wayne Enterprises had brought in plenty of antiques and cultural relics.
Li Ang, meanwhile, had simply come to broaden his horizons and meet some people.
As for anything else... if he saw something he liked, that would not be out of the question either.
So Li Ang wandered aimlessly around the hotel.
He was quite interested in the antiques and relics on display, especially the many items from China.
Unfortunately, if he had the money, he would definitely buy them all and put them in museums back in China.
These belonged to China. How could they be left to drift overseas?
"This is a Ming Yongle Sword. Its blade was made by folding and forging steel of different materials, with a central ridge to reinforce its strength. Its hilt is gilded iron, decorated with exquisite Ming-style ornaments and Buddhist motifs."
"It is hailed as the pinnacle of Chinese swordmaking in the early fifteenth century. Unfortunately, it was later seized by barbarians..."
Li Ang stopped beside an exceptionally tall figure. She wore a white backless evening dress, her smooth black hair falling over her shoulders. Her figure was well-proportioned; from behind alone, she was absolutely stunning.
Some people could stir a man's heart with their figure alone.
Li Ang had long since passed the age of looking at faces first. He looked at figure and temperament before anything else.
"It is housed in the Royal Armouries Museum. This one is a replica."
The woman replied, then turned to glance at Li Ang.
Her face carried a heroic spirit without losing any of its breathtaking beauty. Her bearing even surpassed that of Selina, the Catwoman he had met before.
There were many beautiful women in the world, but very few with true presence.
The Cheap makeup Li Ang had encountered before could not compare to the woman before him. She exuded intelligence and wisdom, like a goddess of beauty from myth.
"Li Ang."
Li Ang took the initiative and held out his hand in introduction.
The woman smiled slightly at him, seemingly finding this sort of approach novel.
"Diana Prince."
They shook hands, and Li Ang was overjoyed inside.
Diana Prince.
Wonder Woman!
Good heavens, the three giants of the Justice League had gathered at a Wayne Enterprises charity dinner.
Of course, they were all still young. Wonder Woman had not appeared in the world for a long time, and Clark had yet to become Superman.
"You know me?"
Diana was extremely perceptive. Seeing his reaction, she asked the question.
After all, Li Ang was still holding her hand.
Li Ang came back to himself and let go with perfect gentlemanly grace. "Miss Diana, you are a renowned figure in the antique world."
"Thank you. I have merely seen more than most."
Diana accepted the compliment with great pride.
This was where cultural differences showed. If she had been Chinese, she would surely have offered a modest denial.
But here in America, being too modest could easily make people think you truly lacked ability.
"I'm very interested in antiques. How about we have a drink?"
"Sure. I was getting a little tired anyway."
Diana replied with a smile.
Even in high heels, she stood over one meter eighty. Walking beside Li Ang, she immediately drew countless eyes.
No one knew how this lucky Eastern kid had managed to strike up a connection with such a beauty.
To win the beauty's favor, Li Ang even mixed the drinks himself, leaving the hotel staff utterly dumbfounded.
"Thank you. So you can do this too. It is very good."
Diana said with a smile after taking a sip.
Afterward, the two began discussing antiques.
Diana had lived for so long that her expertise came entirely from seeing so many genuine pieces that she could spot a fake at a glance.
Put simply, it was experience.
So she knew the answers to many of Li Ang's questions, and the two of them had a pleasant conversation.
Tailoring his approach to the person was Li Ang's core skill.

He was good at finding the other person's hobbies and then making them his own...
Diana's hobby was work, or she would not have done it for so long.
After chatting for a while, the Charity dinner was about to begin.
"Are you a Gothamite?"
Diana checked the time, then asked.
Li Ang tactfully replied, "Yes. Where are you usually based, Miss Diana?"
"My job takes me all over the world."
Hearing that, Li Ang realized he could not let this chance slip away.
So he took the initiative. "Wait for me after the dinner."
Diana Prince hesitated slightly. Li Ang was very much to her taste, and Amazons were naturally passionate and uninhibited, so she wanted to get to know him better.
"That depends on how you perform."
Diana gave no definite answer, draining the rest of her wine in one gulp with her red lips.
Then she rose and headed to the banquet.
She was one of the rich people, unlike a spectator like Li Ang.
But as soon as Diana left, someone sat down in her seat.
"How about giving that gorgeous girl to me?"
Li Ang could only sigh helplessly at her words.
The one who sat down was Kate Kane.
With her big waves of red hair, a brightly colored evening dress, and a tall, perfect figure, who would not be tempted by her?
She looked at Diana's retreating back with obvious interest.
If it had been anyone else trying to steal a woman from Li Ang, he would have punched them.
But Kate was truly different.
She was a woman.
So Li Ang merely said viciously, "You can try. I'll turn you straight myself."
"Tch."
Kate did not believe him. Instead, she shot him a provocative look. "If you can do it, the Kane Family is yours."
The Kane Family was Gotham's wealthiest family after the Wayne Family. It shared prosperity and ruin alike with Wayne Enterprises.
Li Ang was genuinely tempted.
Even a hero could be stumped by a single penny, and superheroes feared being broke too.
If he truly had the Kane Family, then Li Ang and the others would never have to worry about food or clothing again.
But he knew she was mostly joking.
So Li Ang merely gave her the middle finger.
Kate had a carefree personality too and did whatever she pleased.
"Fine, I won't compete with you for women."
Kate put on a magnanimous expression. "But aren't you afraid Harley Quinn will find out?"
Li Ang merely smiled. "Did you forget? She's asked me many times to bring you along."
"Get lost!"
Kate Kane could not take it anymore.
That crazy clown girl had her completely under control. Only when she became Batwoman could she teach the clown girl a lesson.
But if she could not handle the clown girl, could she not handle Li Ang?
She immediately used her secret skill and pinched the soft flesh at Li Ang's waist.
"Hiss."
"Are you crazy?"
Li Ang quickly grabbed her hand and dodged.
The two of them looked rather intimate like that.
"Alright, stop messing around. Why did you ask me to come to this gala?"
Li Ang said frankly, "I'm a poor ghost. You brought me here to do charity? They should be donating to me."
Still not satisfied, Kate Kane punched him hard, finally venting her frustration.
She took a sip of red wine and said, "I'm introducing you to people. Aren't you going to thank me?"
"What? Are you really going to hand the Kane Family over to me?"
That made Kate snap.
"If you can turn me straight, I'll give you everything!"
