"Don't speak, don't turn around, don't show any abnormality, help me, someone is following me."
The woman holding Samuel's arm moved her lips slightly and quickly explained the situation to him in a pleading tone.
Samuel's peripheral vision clearly saw the woman's appearance.
A slightly elongated face, fair and delicate skin, large and expressive eyes, beautiful but not seductive eye shape, giving a feeling of being sweet and savory, seductive and cool.
Catwoman: Selina Kyle!
Samuel recognized this iconic and lovely face at a glance.
Looking at the several known versions of Catwoman, she was definitely the most beautiful and memorable one!
Releasing his Mind Manipulation Ability, Samuel scanned the pedestrians behind them, and none of them showed any abnormality, which meant that no one was following her at all.
"Someone is following you? I think you're following me, right?"
Well, I haven't even gone to find you, and you've come to find me instead.
Are you my target, or—am I your target?!
Selina's behavior was very natural, as if Samuel was really her boyfriend or husband.
Samuel was no slouch; he acted even more naturally than her, not only showing no trace of acting but also subtly adding to the scene.
"Darling, actually I'm very insecure. I don't dare to hold someone else's girlfriend's hand when walking on the street."
Samuel smiled, seemingly speaking sweet words, but in reality, he was talking nonsense.
Selina secretly rolled her eyes: "Don't worry, I don't have a boyfriend."
"You're lying," Samuel said directly.
"I'm not lying, I really don't have a boyfriend."
"If you don't have a boyfriend, then what am I? Am I not your boyfriend?"
Samuel pretended to be deceived, deliberately raising his voice in feigned anger.
Selina could already feel the eyes of the people around them watching her, so she quickly said ingratiatingly, "Of course you are my boyfriend, I just didn't understand what you meant, I thought you thought I had other boyfriends."
"Darling, I only have one boyfriend, I swear!"
As she spoke, she also actively hugged Samuel.
"I just ran into some trouble and need your help, don't go too far."
Samuel hugged her back and said with a light laugh, "This is Gotham!"
The simple folk of Gotham won't have much goodwill towards strangers.
Selina bit her silver teeth in anger. She was a native of Gotham and of course knew what Gotham was like.
You, an outsider, dare to pretend to be a Gothamite and lecture me? If I don't steal everything from you until you don't even have your pants left, I'm not called Catwoman!
Selina grumbled in her heart, but on the surface, she showed a delicate look: "You, what do you want?"
"Didn't you say I was your boyfriend? Then you can be my girlfriend for a few days."
"Impossible."
"Don't rush to refuse. Look, look behind you, are they the ones following you?" Samuel held Selina and moved slightly in direction.
Selina knew very well that no one was following her. This was just an excuse she made up to get close to this guy and steal the strange metal bracelet on his hand.
As a famous jewel thief, she found that she couldn't even recognize the material of the other party's bracelet, which made her very curious, so she had a sudden idea and decided to do a job on the spot.
While thinking, Selina glanced over pretendingly, but saw a few guys instantly pretend to be nonchalant when she looked over.
Really, someone is really following them?!
Selina blinked blankly. This, this is too much of a coincidence, isn't it? Someone is actually following me?
No!
They shouldn't be tracking me, they should be targeting this guy as a fat sheep just like me!
It's better to avoid trouble than to seek it. Selina decided to be merciful and let this guy off, just steal his bracelet and get out of here quickly. Anyway, these guys probably won't let him go either!
Selina released Samuel's neck, took his hand, and said, "There's a bar ahead, let's go to the restroom."
Samuel pretended to be overjoyed, quickly sped up, and followed her into the bar not far ahead.
In the bar's restroom, Selina stopped Samuel, held his hands, and said with a smile, "I'll go in first to see if anyone is there. You wait for me here."
"Okay, hurry up."
"Okay."
Selina smiled, turned around, and released Samuel's hand.
The moment she let go, her slender fingers lightly hooked the bracelet on Samuel's wrist, then, with a concealed and agile movement, she directly gripped it in her hand and pushed the door open to enter the restroom.
"Bang!"
The door closed.
Samuel glanced at his bare wrist and lightly clicked his tongue, "You really dare to steal anything."
What Selina stole was a kimo bead.
Under normal circumstances, the only functions she could activate were basic vital sign scanning and related medical advice.
Deeper functions like holographic video images and database access were completely unusable.
This was just a regular kimo bead, but Samuel's had one major difference from a regular kimo bead.
That was a part of Friday's program, or a similar copied program, was also inside.
Without Samuel's permission, the kimo bead was just a normal bracelet in Selina's hand.
Conversely, Samuel could know its location at any time through Friday and could also see Selina's every move through it.
That's why he allowed Selina to steal it, otherwise, where would he and she have a story?!
"Beep beep beep -- beep beep beep --" Samuel's phone in his pocket rang. He had just bought it half an hour ago.
A map route automatically popped up on the phone. This was the location sent by Friday.
A red dot, a blue dot.
The red one represented Samuel, and the blue one represented the location of the kimo bead.
From the location, it could be seen that Selina, who should have been in the restroom, must have jumped out of the ventilation window and run away through the alley behind the bar.
Samuel didn't plan to chase. How to say it, let the bullet fly for a while longer.
Turning around and coming out of the bar, Samuel canceled the mind control on those few 'tracking' guys.
Originally, this was his little prank, but he didn't expect it to scare Catwoman away in advance.
"Screech --"
A silver-white sports car drove over quickly from a distance with a high profile, then stepped on the gas and stopped by the roadside in front of Samuel.
The scissor doors slowly rose, and a person that surprised the passersby stepped out.
"Oh my God, he, he's Bruce Wayne? Didn't they say he was already dead?"
"Not dead, just missing."
"So he's back? Bruce Wayne is back?"
"He doesn't seem to have aged, he's still so young."
Amidst the whispers, Bruce Wayne had already arrived in front of Samuel.
"Hey, good morning!"
Samuel smiled and raised his hand to greet him!
