Supergirl

In an apartment in Gotham City's "Diamond" District.

Li Ang patted the shoulder of the Latina beauty beside him. "Um... Liz? Or Sally?"

"My name is Maggie, darling."

The Latina beauty with glossy black hair lazily turned over, looking at the young, vigorous Li Ang with a radiant smile. "Want more, darling?"

She did not mind that Li Ang had gotten her name wrong. After all, they had only just gotten to know each other—quite thoroughly.

At first glance, both of them had been very satisfied in every respect.

East Asians were not as boring as the rumors claimed. On the contrary, he knew how to have fun.

In the cold city of Gotham, that was a rare touch of warmth.

Her curvy body wriggled beneath the covers, and the atmosphere quickly turned heated.

Li Ang glanced at the clock on the wall and immediately restrained himself. "Though I really want to, I should remind you that it's time for you to leave."

"Why?"

The Latina beauty froze, and her radiant smile instantly became somewhat awkward.

She had thought she had already captivated this young East Asian man. Now it seemed that he was composed enough.

Li Ang got up briskly, his clothes gradually covering his toned body as he said, "My daughter is coming back."

"What?!"

Maggie hurriedly got up in fright. Her sudden movement made her bounce in front of Li Ang. She had only wanted some fun; she had never planned on becoming a stepmother!

She did not bother with anything else. Since they already knew each other inside and out, she put on her underwear as fast as she could right in front of Li Ang, then slipped on her dress.

Watching her flee in a panic, Li Ang found the sight amusing. "Actually, she's my goddaughter."

He had deliberately left that out because he wanted to see her reaction.

Just as expected, she had fled in panic.

No one wanted to take on someone else's baggage!

Not long after, someone knocked on the apartment door.

Li Ang had just tidied up the room. Hearing the sound, he hurriedly opened the windows as wide as possible before going to answer the door.

A blonde girl around five foot three stood outside. Only thirteen years old, she immediately complained when she saw Li Ang. "Godfather, was that busty woman just now your new girlfriend? Your taste is getting more and more one-dimensional. You only like women with good figures."

Although the girl was only thirteen, her race had given her a maturity that did not match her age. There was a trace of heroic spirit on her face, but it could not conceal her sorrow.

Being caught red-handed by his goddaughter left Li Ang somewhat embarrassed. "Kara, you saw all that?"

"I have super vision. Next time you bring a woman home, at least make sure she cleans up after herself."

Kara Zor-El rolled her eyes.

In her eyes, the world was detailed down to the smallest speck. The dust in the room, the creases on the bed, and every other trace were all plainly visible.

There was also the scent that greeted her the moment she entered. Even though he had tried hard to air the place out, her recently acquired super breath gave her senses far beyond those of ordinary people.

Li Ang fell silent for a moment, deciding that he would have to be more careful in the future. This was not good for the child's development...

"Kara, listen. You need to control your abilities."

"I know."

Kara entered the apartment. It was not large: one living room and barely two bedrooms, totaling just over six hundred square feet.

She tossed her backpack onto the sofa and plopped down. The worn-out couch sank immediately, as if wrapping around her petite body.

"I don't want to see nothing but bones and flesh whenever I look at you. I don't want to smell the sewers everywhere I go, either. Gotham's air is awful!"

Hearing her complaints, Li Ang could only smile helplessly.

He sat beside Kara and stroked her blonde hair. "Bear with it. Maybe after some time, you'll be able to control your powers freely."

Gotham was a city that people could enter but never leave.

It was the capital of crime. Though it was only a bridge away from Metropolis, it felt like the difference between heaven and hell.

Kara fell silent. Even now, she did not know why these changes had happened to her.

Was it simply because she was a Kryptonian?

Li Ang knew the reason, but he could not say it outright. Without proper research, there was no way to reach such a conclusion.

Kara had only arrived on Earth half a year ago.

At the time, Li Ang had arranged to go out with a white girl with a rustic charm. The girl stood him up, but he saw a shooting star appear in the sky instead.

Before Li Ang could make a wish, he saw the shooting star hurtling toward him, nearly scaring him out of his wits.

But when it landed, he discovered that it was no shooting star at all. It was actually a small spaceship.

The instant Li Ang saw that iconic "S" symbol, he understood.

After all, this world had Gotham.

At the time, he had not yet been in Gotham. When he had transmigrated here, he had been in some remote town in Ohio.

Transmigrators were bold, and he knew what was inside. He had been ready to welcome the little Superman.

Then he discovered that the spaceship contained a wary blonde, blue-eyed girl in her teens, glaring at him.

The one inside the spaceship was not Kal-El.

It was Kara Zor-El.

And at that very moment, Li Ang discovered that he had a system after all.

[Godfather System].

He had then gone to great lengths to coax Kara home and make her trust the first human she had seen on Earth.

But the good times did not last. A mysterious department came knocking.

Fortunately, Li Ang had been cautious enough. Before they could take Kara away, he fled with her. The two depended on each other for survival, and he naturally took on the role of her godfather.

If it had not been for this damned system, Li Ang, not even twenty-eight yet, would definitely have made Kara call him big brother!

After drifting from place to place, they arrived in Gotham.

Gotham City was a chaotic mix of all sorts, filled with illegal immigrants, undocumented residents, violent people, and the highest crime rate in America. Its rate of mental instability was even the highest in the world.

The entire city was also filled with every kind of gang.

Penguin, Scarecrow, Joker, Bane, and others had carved up Gotham's territory between them.

For instance, the "Diamond" District where they currently lived belonged to Penguin.

For all its faults, it had one advantage: in Gotham City, where undocumented residents were everywhere, Li Ang and Kara were safe.

Gangs might be vampires, but in some ways, they were also umbrellas of protection.

They had already been in Gotham for two months, and they had integrated quickly.

Li Ang found a job, while Kara had been sent to Gotham City Middle School. That counted as receiving an Earth education.

Coming back to himself, Li Ang asked, "Are you hungry? I'll make you some noodles."

"Noodles again? Whenever I see my classmates and teachers now, I feel like they're giant noodles."

Kara pulled a long face.

Li Ang twitched the corner of his mouth. "Don't you see them as bones and flesh?"

Not long after being exposed to sunlight, Kara began displaying astonishing potential.

First came her strength. She could easily lift a car, then throw it away as if it were a shot put.

One had to know that she had only been under the sun for a few days at the time.

Then there was her body, which began to become as tough as steel and iron.

That made Li Ang think of a phrase.

Man of Steel.
