She Is My Daughter

"I want to help your godfather."

Hearing the woman outside, Kara felt tempted.

She poked her head out from under the covers.

Kara's room was simply furnished. Aside from comic books, there was hardly anything typically girlish in it.

Li Ang had once wanted to buy her dolls, but she thought they were childish.

Harley Quinn outside seemed to know she was wavering, so she continued, "Your godfather has it hard. He works alone to support the household, and now that there's an extra me, the pressure on him is even greater."

"You know that too!"

Kara could not help saying.

She did not know why, but she just wanted to drive Harley Quinn away.

Harley Quinn did not get angry. Instead, she smiled. "Wouldn't it be better if we helped him together? Three people working hard is more reliable than him doing it alone."

Even though she knew Harley Quinn had ulterior motives, Kara still could not refuse.

She wanted to help her godfather too.

Kara was far more mature than other children her age, so naturally she had seen how hard Li Ang had it.

At first, Li Ang had no experience raising a daughter at all. He had made plenty of blunders and put in a great deal of effort. Whenever Kara thought of those things, she felt warm inside.

Click.

The bedroom door opened. Kara, dressed in pajamas, said expressionlessly, "How do we do it?"

She already looked quite tall, only a little shorter than Harley Quinn.

"Come with me."

Harley Quinn did not explain and merely turned to walk outside.

Kara hesitated for a moment, changed clothes, and followed her.

As they walked out, Kara finally had the chance to take a closer look at Harley Quinn's outfit. It was different from what she had seen on television before.

The Harley Quinn from before had worn an old-fashioned clown costume, like something from a circus performance.

But now...

She still looked crazy, yet somehow, she was beautiful?

Perhaps sensing Kara's gaze, Harley Quinn flicked her twin ponytails. "What do you think? Your godfather helped redesign it."

Hearing that, Kara felt a little jealous and asked, "What exactly are we doing?"

"You'll find out soon enough."

Harley Quinn giggled, refusing to give her a straight answer.

In front of Harley Quinn, who excelled at exploiting and deceiving people, a little girl like Kara was as innocent as a white rabbit.

If Harley Quinn wanted to harm Kara, a few words would have been enough.

Fortunately, Harley Quinn's maternal instincts were overflowing right then, and she had no intention of harming Kara.

She simply thought bringing Kara along would make things more fun.

As for danger?

She did not think there would be any.

Because she had brought a bodyguard.

"Harley, you're late."

A captivating, mature female voice rang out.

Then Kara felt something wrap around her foot. Looking down, she found a vine coiled around her.

"What is this?"

Kara jumped in fright.

"Don't be scared, sweetheart."

Harley Quinn soothed her. "Ivy, let her go. She's my daughter!"

"What? Have you lost your mind? Do you really see her as your daughter?"

Poison Ivy Pamela still could not understand, though she had never been able to understand Harley Quinn's way of thinking in the first place.

"Hehe, don't you think it's fun?"

Harley Quinn giggled. "I've never thought about becoming a mother before. Now that I have the chance, of course I have to try it!"

That was Harley Quinn's reasoning.

But Kara was not going to acknowledge it.

"Who's your daughter?!"

Kara immediately glared at her. Her eyes suddenly felt a little itchy, but she did not think much of it.

Harley Quinn did not care whether Kara acknowledged it or not.

"Just be good and don't cause trouble."

Poison Ivy controlled the plants and released Kara.

She looked Kara over. Blonde hair, blue eyes, and though she was still young, she had a tall, slender figure. Anyone could tell she would grow up to be a stunner.

No wonder Harley Quinn cared about her so much.

"Wait a second."

Poison Ivy suddenly thought of something. "How did an Asian man have a white girl?"

Kara's lineage was far too pure.

She did not have the slightest mixed-race feature.

Harley Quinn immediately burst out laughing. "Because she's his goddaughter. You didn't seriously think he gave birth to her, did you?"

"By the way, Kara, where are your parents?"

Kara did not want to speak.

She would not reveal her identity to anyone.

Except her godfather.

Fortunately, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy Pamela did not press the matter.

The two finally got to the "serious business."

"Harley, do you know who sent those people?"

Poison Ivy Pamela asked Harley Quinn.

Harley had gone looking for her today precisely to settle this matter together.

Otherwise, she would always have to watch out for people coming after her. That was not Harley Quinn's style.

She had always been the one hunting others down. Since when had the tables turned?

"I don't know."

Harley Quinn blew at her bangs from the side. "But I know one of them."

"Then this will be easy. We'll go find him."

Poison Ivy Pamela held out a finger, and a vine immediately curled around it.

"Wait, find what?"

The more Kara listened, the more something felt wrong.

She wanted to become the nemesis of criminals, a vanguard of justice, and Gotham's friendly neighborhood hero. How could she take part in a crime?

"Sweetheart, we're finding money, of course. We need money!"

"If we have money, Li Ang won't have to work at Iceberg Lounge every day. You know how dangerous it is there. It's Penguin's territory—a supervillain!"

Harley Quinn tried to scare Kara, but though Kara was young, she was not stupid.

"So what does that have to do with anything?"

Kara asked.

"Of course it has something to do with it."

Harley Quinn crossed her arms, pushing up her chest. "Do you know who the richest person in Gotham is?"

At that, Kara naturally thought of the person she had seen today.

"Bruce Wayne."

"That's right, but he's a good person. We don't rob good people."

Perhaps because her maternal instincts were overflowing, Harley Quinn put on the air of a "vanguard of justice" before Kara. She did not want Kara to see her as a villain.

"Other than Bruce Wayne, the richest people in Gotham City are the bad guys. They commit every kind of evil to get their hands on money, so naturally we should take it from them."

Harley Quinn said indignantly, "Why should your godfather work so hard and still not make any money, while having to live in an old house with us?"

"Is that fair?"

Kara, at her age, did not have the ability to distinguish right from wrong. She was swayed.

Just listening to Harley Quinn, she felt it was unfair.

Crimes could bring enormous wealth, while her godfather worked tirelessly and had so little money!

Harley Quinn gave Poison Ivy Pamela a look. Poison Ivy shook her head, lamenting that Kara had been completely talked into it.

Poison Ivy said directly, "I found him. Let's go."

This time, Kara did not question them again. Her mind just felt muddled, and she urgently needed Li Ang to show her the way.

But unfortunately, her godfather was not beside her.

So she simply followed the two women, like Gotham phantoms. The two best friends led the way and climbed directly into Poison Ivy's car.
