Bikadina, once a famous actress in Gotham.
With long pale-gold hair, large blue eyes, a pretty face, and a young, sexy body, she was as beautiful as an elf who had stepped out of a fairyland.
But after making only one movie, she disappeared from the film industry. When she appeared again, she was attending Gotham high-society banquets with Falcone.
Falcone was nearly seventy, yet he had found himself a twenty-year-old mistress. Damn... that was enviable...
Miao Mu drove straight toward Gotham Old Town. This had originally been Gotham City's first downtown area, and it still contained the original Wayne Tower.
But as the population grew and times changed, the city center gradually shifted. This place became home to the mansions and ancestral estates of celebrities and old families.
The Wayne Family mansion was the original Wayne Tower, a building as tall as a skyscraper. When Gotham City was founded, it had been a landmark, just like the current Wayne Enterprises headquarters.
It had been personally planned and built by Bruce Wayne's great-great-great-grandfather, Alan Wayne, one of Gotham City's founders.
Most of the buildings along the street had Gothic spires. Though they looked old and worn from the outside, their interiors were lavish and magnificent.
Bikadina's home was a European-style villa, its overall color ivory white, like a princess's castle from a fairy tale. It truly was a gilded cage for a beauty.
Miao Mu parked by the roadside. Plenty of cars were already parked nearby, while the police from Gotham Old Town stood outside. They looked less like cops than security guards, though there was not much difference.
Here, the greatest duty of the Old Town police was protecting this villa district. The most common crimes were burglaries—no one knew which house might contain a treasure vault.
