Daily Planet, Clark

Kara and Ciri were now a trio.

Besides the two of them, there was Rachel Roth, whom they had met earlier. The three of them were a group at school.

They always left school together.

Rachel's house was nearby, so they were on the same route.

"Godfather, Rachel's mom isn't coming home today, so she's coming to our house."

Kara said as soon as she entered.

Ciri had thoroughly integrated in during this time, returning to her "hot-tempered" nature. She wasn't afraid of anything and was carefree and boisterous.

Other than still being a crybaby and clingy, she was completely different from how shy she had been at the start.

To be honest, Li Ang still preferred a quiet, gentle daughter.

Even Kara had become a little more carefree under Ciri's influence.

"No problem."

Li Ang said, "I happened to make your favorite dishes."

During this time, Li Ang had frantically crammed cooking skills and had finally improved somewhat.

He could now make cola chicken wings, sweet-and-sour ribs, scrambled eggs with green peppers and ham, and more.

Everything he learned to make was food children liked.

The results were obvious. Especially the cola chicken wings—Kara and Ciri nearly gnawed the bones clean every time.

Soon, Li Ang brought out the dishes. Four women were sitting in the living room, and not one of them had a normal hair color.

Kara was blonde, Ciri had silver hair, and Rachel had a head of purple hair...

Looking at it that way, Harley Quinn's hair color was practically normal.

Anyone who didn't know better would think Li Ang was running a zoo at home.

"Rachel, hurry up and try my godfather's cooking."

"This is real Chinese food."

Rachel was the most timid and shy of the three. Only after hearing that did she reach out and take a chicken wing.

Li Ang merely told them to wash their hands instead of forcing them to use chopsticks. They were children, after all, and could learn slowly.

"It's delicious."

Rachel's eyes lit up after one bite.

Cola chicken wings were originally a dish made for children, though even adults loved them.

Besides, the cola in America had a higher sugar content, making the cola chicken wings even sweeter.

People here already liked sweets, so naturally children loved it.

"If it's good, eat more."

Li Ang said.

Then the girls began fighting over the food.

Mainly because Harley Quinn wasn't going to indulge them and joined in the scramble herself.

Li Ang, meanwhile, didn't join the commotion.

As a result, the meal ended quickly, and the three little girls were all stuffed.

"You can play at home by yourselves. Don't stay up too late, and remember to go to bed early."

Li Ang reminded them.

"Got it."

Then the three little girls hurried into their room.

As for Li Ang, he needed to get ready.

"Darling, I've never seen you wear a suit before. You're so handsome."

The moment Harley Quinn saw Li Ang change into a suit, she became completely smitten.

She had always been hopelessly in love.

She would do anything for the person she loved. Even being used didn't matter to her.

Even if Li Ang wanted to kill her, as long as he didn't succeed, she would still follow him.

What love-struck fool could compare to Harley Quinn?

Li Ang was quite pleased with her too. Her emotional support was off the charts.

"Are you really not going?"

"No."

Harley Quinn shook her head, but to match Li Ang, she still changed into a red dress.

Then, after leaving the house, the two went their separate ways.

Wayne Hotel.

Wayne Enterprises had a presence throughout Gotham City, in every industry.

Wayne Hotel was Gotham's largest hotel, a five-star establishment located in the city center. Ordinary people simply couldn't afford to stay there.

Wayne Enterprises' charity gala was a grand affair this time. It was said that even wealthy people from Metropolis had been drawn here.

To ensure public safety, the Gotham Police Department had deployed its entire force.

As a result, Gotham was unusually safe tonight.

A red carpet had been laid out in front of the hotel, just like in Hollywood.

Reporters lined both sides of the carpet, frantically photographing the people at the pinnacle of wealth and fame.

Those attending were either Gotham's rich or Metropolis's rich.

Li Ang felt a little out of place.

But he didn't feel inferior in any way.

Kara had asked him before whether this world was fair.

Of course it wasn't fair.

But so what?

"Who is he?"

Li Ang walked down the red carpet, but no one recognized him.

Still, because he looked handsome in a suit, reporters took pictures of him.

Li Ang had no intention of lingering and hurried inside.

He didn't cause any commotion either. Soon, camera shutters clicked behind him.

"So beautiful."

"With that face and that figure, who wouldn't be captivated?"

Li Ang stopped and looked back.

A tall woman with short black hair was walking down the red carpet, seemingly enjoying the moment immensely.

She truly was beautiful, and she carried a wild aura.

That aura filled men with the urge to conquer her.

"Who is she?"

Li Ang couldn't help becoming interested.

No matter how beautiful Harley Quinn was, one could still grow tired of her.

Besides, Li Ang was someone who liked novelty by nature. Being faithful was impossible for him; this was his one hobby.

"She should be Selina Kyle."

A voice sounded beside Li Ang's ear.

Selina Kyle—the famous Catwoman!

Li Ang had been in Gotham for some time, but he hadn't heard of Catwoman committing any crimes lately. He had thought she had already left Gotham.

It seemed that this little cat had merely stopped for now.

"Thank you."

Li Ang had no idea what he was thinking as he thanked the person who spoke.

But after glancing at him, he froze.

It was a man in his prime, powerfully built and carrying a distinctive aura.

Of course, the most important thing was the reporter's badge hanging around his neck.

"Daily Planet, Clark Kent!"

Seeing that name, Li Ang's heart shook.

This was Kara's long-awaited cousin!

But judging from how he looked...

He was already older than Kara.

After all, Kara had slept in the Phantom Zone for so long that she couldn't sense the passage of time at all.

What a surprise.

Li Ang didn't know how to tell Kara about this yet, so he could only wait.

"Clark?"

"Yes, sir."

Clark Kent looked at Li Ang with some surprise.

"I'm Li Ang. I love making friends."

Li Ang extended his hand. Clark Kent shook it, and the two also exchanged phone numbers.

For now, however, that was the extent of their connection.

Clark Kent had not yet become Superman, so for the moment, they were merely acquainted.

Once Clark became Superman...

Li Ang would shamelessly ask him for a suit for Kara.

For his beloved daughter, this old father's dignity wasn't important.

Li Ang didn't stay at the entrance any longer. He handed over his invitation and prepared to go inside.

During this time, Selina Kyle had also come up behind Li Ang, and the two exchanged a glance.

Although they had never crossed paths before, Li Ang still smiled at her.

Selina Kyle wore an evening gown and nodded in return.

Just then, the entrance erupted in celebration.

Because Bruce Wayne had arrived in person.

That was an extremely rare occurrence.
