Ciri the Clingy Girl

Downtown Gotham.

Li Ang walked down the street holding Ciri's hand.

Kara had only gone part of the way with them before heading off to school by herself.

Without Kara around, Ciri naturally came over and took Li Ang's hand.

After two days together, Li Ang had gotten a handle on Ciri's personality.

Having lacked parental affection since childhood, Ciri was a little hot-tempered. Raised by her grandmother, she was also upright and frank.

That was precisely why Ciri seemed somewhat clingy and prone to tears.

Yet she also possessed a pride that other children lacked!

She was Cintra's young lioness!

Ciri was far clingier than Kara. As Kara grew older, she never held Li Ang's hand in public, but Ciri did not care.

Besides, she was terrified that Li Ang would abandon her, so naturally, she held on tight.

"What's that?"

At that moment, Ciri spotted a towering building whose top could not be seen even when she raised her head.

There was a W emblem on it.

"This is Wayne Enterprises headquarters."

Li Ang helped broaden her understanding of Gotham.

"Wayne Enterprises, is that the one Kara mentioned earlier?"

"Yes."

"Wow."

Ciri exclaimed, "The Wayne Family must be the nobility of this world. Cintra's nobles can't compare to them."

"Something like that."

Li Ang smiled.

It was already the twenty-first century, yet the world still had distinctions between high and low, noble and base. How ironic.

"Little one, the Wayne Family aren't good people."

At that moment, a slightly husky voice sounded beside them.

Li Ang and Ciri immediately turned to look. A red-haired woman sat on an expensive motorcycle, watching them.

Kate Kane gave Li Ang an amused look, then shifted her gaze to Ciri and frowned slightly.

Why didn't she look like the one in the photograph?

She had been blonde. Why was her hair silver now?

And her accent was rather strange. She knew simple words, but her accent was anything but native.

"Li Ang. And you are?"

Li Ang asked.

"Kate Kane. Is this your daughter?"

Kate Kane looked at Ciri.

"My goddaughter, Ciri."

Li Ang nodded. Ciri looked at her without fear, appearing rather proud.

Li Ang could not even be bothered to comment on Kate's outfit.

Although she wore biker gear, completely different from last night...

That red hair was far too conspicuous.

Even with a mask on, failing to hide such an obvious trait would be pointless.

Still, Kate did have a great figure. He had not been mistaken.

Red hair and big waves!

Those who knew, knew.

Kate wanted to get to the bottom of things, but she could not ask directly. She merely smiled and said, "Little one, do you want to go inside and have a look?"

"Can I, Godfather?"

Ciri immediately perked up after understanding, but she obediently looked to Li Ang.

Thankfully, the girl was not rebellious.

Li Ang nodded. "I haven't seen it either. Since Miss Kane has invited us, let's take a look."

"There's actually nothing worth seeing. The Wayne Family took over our family assets."

Kate Kane seemed deeply dissatisfied with the Wayne Family.

That was only natural.

After all, the two great families had merged their businesses back then, yet it still bore the Wayne Family name. The Kane Family had not even retained its name. It would be strange if they were satisfied.

As she spoke, Kate Kane parked her motorcycle and led them straight inside.

She glanced at Ciri and teased, "You're already this old, and you still cling to your godfather?"

Ciri did not let go after hearing that. Instead, she gripped his hand tighter. "Kara told me to stay close to Godfather, so I have to listen to her."

"Kara?"

That made sense.

Kate asked casually, "Who is that?"

"My sister."

Ciri raised her chin, looking very proud.

Kara was so powerful. With such an amazing sister, if they could return to Cintra, they would surely crush all those enemy soldiers!

The night before, Ciri had dreamed of Cintra again. Even in her dreams, she wanted to kill her way back.

She had a fiery temperament and only wanted to repay blood with blood.

"Where is your sister?"

Kate showed them around Wayne Enterprises. It had many departments, but aside from being tall and spacious, there was not much to see.

But Ciri found it all fascinating.

Cintra had never had such towering buildings. After taking the elevator up, merely standing by the window made her legs go weak.

"She went to school."

"Then why aren't you going?"

"I want to, too, but Godfather won't let me."

Ciri looked like she was about to cry again.

Li Ang was numb.

Still, he could only accept it. He could not explain the reasons to Kate.

And he had also discovered that Ciri's talent was indeed astonishing. She could already communicate simply. Perhaps this was also the power of the Elder Blood.

Anyone with even a little influence could investigate Kara's identity, so Li Ang did not stop her. Kate had probably already looked into it.

But he would not tell her anything more.

Kate had not expected Ciri to be on the verge of tears so quickly, and she immediately shot Li Ang a glare.

Li Ang suffered an undeserved disaster and could only hurry to comfort her.

"Didn't we agree? I'll send you to school soon."

Li Ang stroked Ciri's head.

Kate said directly, "Ciri, if your godfather won't arrange it, your big sister will. I guarantee you'll attend school with Kara."

Hearing that, Ciri was overjoyed. "Thank you, Big Sister."

Her voice was sweet, and she even gave Li Ang a smug look.

Naturally, Li Ang did not refuse. He would be delighted to have someone help him.

Kate immediately moved to make a call, but Li Ang stopped her. "I still need to take Ciri to the police station to get her identity sorted out. She lost her old ID card."

"..."

The moment Kate heard that, she understood.

Good grief, such a young girl was already undocumented!

"Do you need my help?"

Why was she being so enthusiastic?

Li Ang did not want to owe so many favors, so he shook his head. "No need. I know Commissioner Gordon."

"All right. Leave me your number. Tell me when it's done."

Kate directly asked Li Ang for his number.

Li Ang's unusual nature alone made him worth investing in. Besides, Bruce Wayne was also very interested in that Kara.

Just who were they?

Li Ang took Ciri to the Gotham Police Department.

Ciri held Li Ang's hand the entire way, letting him experience what it felt like to be an old father.

No wonder modern people all wanted an adorable daughter.

Favor sons over daughters? Favor daughters over sons!

The police station was busy, but fortunately, Li Ang spotted someone he knew.

"Officer Judy."

"Hello, Li Ang."

Officer Judy, with her sexy full lips, recognized Li Ang.

After all, what had happened last time had left quite an impression on her.

Kara looked like such a petite girl, yet she possessed such incredible strength...

"Who is this?"

At that moment, she noticed Ciri beside Li Ang. "Where's Kara?"

"Kara went to school. This is Ciri, my other goddaughter."

Li Ang immediately replied, while Ciri cooperatively offered a sweet smile.

As long as she was not frowning, Ciri was quite pretty.

Perhaps because she had inherited a queen's genes, she carried an air of gallantry.

She was not a delicate girl, but a tough woman capable of becoming a Witcher.

But now, Li Ang definitely would not let her become some Witcher.

Just finding any expert to teach her would make her stronger than a Witcher.

"We're here to see Commissioner Gordon."

"The Commissioner is inside. I'll call him for you."
