Li Ang's Wild Gotham History

The charity gala had nothing to do with Li Ang. He and Kate were merely spectators.

Still, Kate had donated on behalf of the Kane Family, though she returned soon afterward.

She took good care of Li Ang, knowing he did not know anyone there.

To the point that Li Ang could not figure out what she was after.

If he had not known her orientation was unconventional, he might have thought she was interested in him.

What exactly did Kate want?

After the gala ended, Kate took Li Ang around to meet quite a few wealthy people.

With Kate Kane at his side, no one dared look down on Li Ang.

Li Ang even met Lex Luthor.

Only after meeting so many people did Li Ang follow Kate off to one side.

"Hey, Kate. Long time no see."

Just then, a bold voice sounded nearby.

Kate Kane turned around, looking somewhat surprised. "Thomas, you're back in Gotham?"

"Just got back. Is this your boyfriend?"

The man named Thomas looked at Li Ang.

"Don't talk nonsense. I'll only ever have girlfriends."

Kate Kane did not care about her reputation. After saying that, she introduced him, "This is Li Ang, a good friend."

"Li Ang, this is Thomas Elliot."

Li Ang shook Thomas Elliot's hand.

"Thomas and I have been good friends since childhood. We went to elementary school together. Of course, he later became an outstanding surgeon, famous throughout the world."

At that moment, Bruce Wayne approached with a glass of wine in hand.

"Haha, Bruce and I are indeed good friends, but I'm not famous all over the world. I'm only somewhat known in America."

Thomas Elliot laughed.

Then the two men hugged.

Kate whispered in Li Ang's ear, "Thomas is from the Elliot Family. His parents died in a car accident, and now he controls the entire Elliot Family."

Naturally, Li Ang knew of the Elliot Family.

One of Gotham's four great families.

No wonder he had been Bruce Wayne's childhood friend. They were both billionaires.

Bruce Wayne chatted with his good friend for a while, then looked at Li Ang and Kate. "What's going on with you two?"

Bruce Wayne was utterly confused.

How had his "cousin" gotten together with Li Ang?

He cared a great deal about this relative who was younger than him.

It was just that Kate Kane had a problem with him.

"Li Ang is my good friend."

Kate directly linked her arm through Li Ang's.

Bruce Wayne was met with a string of question marks.

Didn't she like women?

But Bruce Wayne did not stay long, because a message from Alfred came through his earpiece.

Clearly, the night belonged to Batman.

"In that case, enjoy yourselves. I have something to take care of."

After saying that, he hurried away.

Kate Kane knew what he was going to do and could only cover for him. "Don't mind him. He's always like this."

"So, how much longer are you planning to hold on to me?"

Li Ang looked down at Kate. "Aren't we good buddies?"

"Do good buddies try to turn me straight?"

Kate immediately let go of him in disgust.

"I was only joking. I would absolutely never do something like that."

Li Ang said seriously.

But women could be so unreasonable. Kate believed Li Ang was looking down on her.

"What do you mean?"

She glared at Li Ang and left the banquet as well.

Well, damn.

If he had not been waiting for someone, Li Ang would have left too.

But he had a target.

The banquet was only now getting to the main event. The wealthy naturally attended such gatherings with purposes of their own.

Networking and discussing business made this an excellent setting.

Diana Prince's beauty was unmatched in the world. With the bearing of a female warrior, the physique of an Olympic athlete, and especially those legs that seemed longer than life itself, many people wanted to get acquainted with her.

Like a seasoned socialite, she handled them with effortless grace—elegant and proper, without seeming aloof.

Countless people saw her as prey.

Yet none of them knew that she was actually a truly high-level hunter.

An Amazon princess, a demigod!

And as a high-level hunter, naturally she did not find every piece of prey worthy of her attention.

Before long, no one remained around her. She had turned everyone down.

Diana looked toward Li Ang, while Li Ang raised his glass in greeting.

Then, as though by mutual understanding, the two of them headed outside at the same time.

Even Bruce Wayne, the host, had fled long ago, so there were naturally no strict rules about when guests could leave.

Quite a few people watching Diana were surprised by the sight.

So the famous flower already belonged to someone.

Outside the hotel, many of the reporters had already left. Only a few paparazzi remained, and they paid no attention to Li Ang and Diana.

They were not major celebrities like Bruce Wayne.

"You're very good at handling people like that?"

"I'm used to it. There are always people who think they're special."

Diana glanced at Li Ang and smiled.

Her face always carried a confident smile.

"Someone as beautiful as you will always be the center of attention."

Li Ang smiled as well, making no attempt to hide his praise.

Women all liked being complimented.

Wonder Woman was no exception.

She gave Li Ang a flirtatious look, and the smile on her face deepened.

Still, Diana truly was perfect. There was no need to mention her looks, and her figure was equally exceptional—curves where there should be curves, plus those long legs.

She was a hundred times more perfect than the version Li Ang had seen in movies in his previous life.

After all, how could Wonder Woman possibly be "unremarkable"?

"You're quite the smooth talker. How many women have you fooled?"

Diana Prince smiled.

"It's all because I'm too honest. I really can't bring myself to tell lies. If I'd known, then I would have..."

Li Ang flagged down a taxi. Diana got in without hesitation.

"Would have what?"

"Wouldn't have complimented you."

Diana rolled her eyes at him.

Li Ang sat beside her and told the driver, "Starry Sky Bar."

He did not dare take Diana to the Iceberg Lounge.

After all, Wonder Woman hated evil with a passion. It would be troublesome if she became suspicious of anything.

The two chatted all the way, getting to know each other better. Li Ang had Diana laughing constantly.

After living in human society for so long, Diana Prince had long since integrated into it. Her habits and lifestyle were much the same, and she naturally had her own interests.

Li Ang was witty and humorous, and he knew many secret tales of Gotham.

They might not necessarily have been true, but they were certainly wild enough.

Just like the saying went: if unofficial history was wild enough, someone would believe it.

And Li Ang was quite entertaining. Things like, "Joker and Batman are true love, a story of two people loving and killing each other," and, "What Gotham hates most is the Riddler. The Riddler must get out of Gotham," made Diana cover her mouth as she laughed.

By the time they reached the bar, the two had become quite comfortable with each other.

Li Ang got out first, then carefully placed one hand against the doorframe to protect her as she stepped out, while extending his other hand.

"Beautiful Princess Diana, may I invite you for a drink?"

At the word princess, Diana looked at him and placed her hand in his palm.

"Why do you call me a princess?"
