Bruce Wayne originally thought he wouldn't find him so easily, but...
As soon as the Batcave's search program started, it found Samuel walking with a beautiful woman through the roadside surveillance.
This result made Bruce Wayne momentarily dazed for a few seconds, somewhat disbelieving.
"Can we talk somewhere else?"
Bruce Wayne looked at Samuel, was silent for a moment, and spoke.
Samuel nodded readily, "Where to?"
"Wayne Manor."
"Okay."
Bruce Wayne breathed a slight sigh of relief, turned to invite Samuel into the car, but out of the corner of his eye as he turned, he suddenly found that Samuel was gone.
Bruce Wayne quickly looked back and then looked around.
Gone, truly gone.
At the same time, he also found the reactions of the people nearby very strange.
Such a living person disappeared in front of them, but they acted as if nothing had happened, not surprised at all.
"Did you see the person who was just talking to me?" Bruce Wayne asked the nearest person.
That person was stunned, "The person talking to you, was it me?"
"Not you, it was an Asian man who was standing here earlier." Bruce Wayne pointed to the spot where Samuel had just stood.
That person glanced at it and said hesitantly, "There was no one there just now, and no Asian man."
Bruce Wayne looked directly at him, and through his eyes and expression, he could confirm that he was not lying.
"I see, thank you." Bruce Wayne stopped questioning, got into the car after turning around, and drove back to Wayne Manor.
"Is he, is he having problems with his mind? You all saw it, there was no Asian man here at all just now like he said."
"You think he wasn't missing at all, but suffering from a mental illness and secretly went to seek treatment?"
"Possible."
"He might not be completely cured yet, didn't you notice that after he got out of the car, he walked straight over and stood there talking to the air?"
The news of Bruce Wayne's return after eight years of disappearance had just made headlines in newspapers of all sizes.
Another report questioning whether he was missing or went to treat a mental illness instantly replaced the popularity of the previous news and spread throughout Gotham.
Wayne Manor.
Bruce Wayne looked at Samuel, who was enjoying a feast in his own dining room, being served by Alfred, and for a moment, he didn't know what to say.
He vaguely believed in his heart that he might truly be omnipotent.
Actually, it's not surprising that Bruce Wayne thought this way.
After all, the Batman of this World had not seen Superman, Flash, or Wonder Woman.
Before meeting Samuel, he had only come into contact with ordinary people without superpowers like the League of Assassins, Joker, and Two-Face.
What happened after meeting Samuel had actually exceeded his understanding.
However, like all Batmen, he possessed an indomitable will and a skeptical nature, which is why he appeared so calm.
Bruce Wayne sat down beside Samuel and asked in a low voice, "Why did you send me back eight years?"
Samuel put down his cutlery, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said lightly, "Given that I appreciate you more, I can answer one question for you. Think carefully before asking."
Bruce Wayne was compliant and changed his question, "What is your purpose for staying in Gotham?!"
Understanding why Samuel stayed in Gotham was far more important than knowing why he was sent back eight years!
Samuel smiled and shook his head, "I thought you would ask who killed your parents. After all, the opportunity to know the answer is not common for you, or for Bruce Wayne in other Worlds."
"The past cannot be undone, the future can be changed."
"I believe I will know the answer in the future."
Bruce Wayne did not intend to change his question.
Samuel said indifferently, "Simply put, my territory is very large, so I need to select and cultivate some subordinates from the Multiverse that I find satisfactory."
"There are a few good ones in your World, and that's the reason I'm staying in Gotham!"
Bruce Wayne reluctantly accepted this answer.
He thought for a moment and said, "Who are you looking for? I can help you find them."
The three people I'm looking for, one is your confidante, one will use you, but can also be considered your girlfriend.
The last one is even more ruthless, creating the famous scene where Batman was broken-backed.
This broken-backed is truly broken-backed, the proper kind!
Let you help me find them?
Forget it, it feels a little cruel to you!
Seeing Samuel shake his head and refuse, Bruce Wayne was somewhat disappointed, but not discouraged.
After all, Gotham is only so big, and he will eventually know who he is looking for.
"Tonight, the manor will hold a memorial service for Harvey, and also to celebrate my return. Many people from the business and political World will attend."
"Perhaps some of them are the people you are looking for. Would you like to stay?" Bruce Wayne extended an invitation to Samuel.
A lot of people will come to this memorial service, and it will involve multiple fields.
It can be said that basically everyone with influence and status in Gotham will be there.
If Samuel's target is among these people, I can make some preparations in advance.
If he is not among these people, at least I don't have to worry about Gotham falling into great chaos because of this.
...
"There's no need to stay. It's rare to come to Gotham. I want to look around."
"As for the memorial service tonight, haha, forget it. I'll see how I feel then."
Samuel let out a somewhat mocking laugh.
The city's high society holding a memorial service for a villain, while the true hero has become a wanted criminal—how ironic!
So why be a good person? Why be a hero?
Is it just to inconvenience yourself and fulfill others?
Samuel, full and satisfied, left, leaving without a sound.
Bruce Wayne had already started to get used to his way of appearing and leaving.
After sitting quietly for a while, Bruce Wayne went to the Batcave and reactivated the search program, constantly monitoring Samuel's location.
Simple folk in Gotham City, talented people in Arkham.
As Gotham City's most famous attraction, Samuel certainly wouldn't forget to visit Arkham Asylum.
It's a pity that Arkham Asylum in this World is not the main focus.
Not to mention being full of talent, he didn't even see a decent villain.
Instead, it was another relatively famous place, Blackgate Prison, which held many heinous criminals, such as Scarecrow, the only one who appeared in all three movies!
It's a pity that Scarecrow in this World is just a psychopharmacologist who sells fear toxin as a drug.
Besides being a little mentally unstable, he doesn't have any 'droppable' abilities at all.
