Evening, Wayne Manor.
The Mayor of Gotham City stood in front of the microphone, speaking eloquently.
The celebrities attending the memorial service were all dressed in suits and ties, with floor-length gowns, holding wine glasses, each with their own thoughts.
"Harvey Dent Day may not be a traditional public holiday, but we are here tonight because it is one of the important days."
"Harvey Dent stood firm and was uncompromising against organized crime, making Gotham safer than before he died, which was eight years ago."
"This city has undergone a historic turning point."
"No city is without crime, but this city is without organized crime, because of Harvey Dent, because of the Dent Act."
"The Dent Act gives law enforcement agencies power in confronting thugs."
"Now people are talking about repealing the Dent Act."
"To them, I just want to say, it's impossible as long as I'm here—!"
Applause followed the Mayor's speech.
The service staff hired by Wayne Manor, wearing black maid outfits, walked around the crowd with trays full of wine, their heads down.
"Selina's maid outfit is comparable to her Catwoman costume. It's absolutely amazing."
Samuel, also in the crowd, looked at Selina's figure moving through the crowd and secretly gave a thumbs-up.
He remembered that in the movie, Selina would take the opportunity to steal Bruce Wayne's fingerprints and even kick over his cane.
The Bruce Wayne this time is not the half-crippled one who actually experienced eight years.
It might not be that simple for Selina to succeed.
Speaking of which, Selina stole the fingerprints to trade with someone for a clearing program that could erase criminal records.
In other words, she wanted to be an ordinary person, or rather, live openly in the sun.
I could use this point to tease her.
Besides Catwoman Selina, Samuel's other target, Miranda, was also present.
Miranda Tate, on the surface, is one of the members of the Wayne Group board of directors and also a philanthropist.
Later, she gained Bruce Wayne's trust and became the CEO of Wayne Group.
But her true identity is the daughter of Ra's al Ghul, the leader of the League of Assassins, whose real name is Talia al Ghul.
After Ra's al Ghul's death, she inherited her Father's dying wish to destroy Gotham.
How should I put it?
She is also a ruthless person, or rather, a femme fatale.
She tricked Bruce Wayne out of his money and body, and finally gave him a stab, a very vicious one.
Bane was her man.
It's just a pity that she died in the end.
The memorial service for Harvey Dent Day was just one of the events tonight.
After the resignation of the old Director Gordon, the next event was the main event that many people were looking forward to tonight.
A welcome party for Bruce Wayne, who had disappeared for eight years and returned!
In the movie, Bruce Wayne did not officially show up tonight.
But now, Bruce Wayne, dressed in a proper suit and wearing a social smile, was mingling with everyone in the crowd.
Samuel quietly came behind Miranda Tate and, as if playing a prank, greeted her in her ear: "Hi."
Miranda Tate was startled and almost dropped the wine glass in her hand.
"You, you scared me!"
Miranda Tate turned around and looked at Samuel, whom she didn't recognize, and frowned.
Samuel smiled apologetically and extended his hand: "Sorry, my name is Samuel."
Miranda Tate didn't intend to shake hands, she just gave a perfunctory smile and turned to leave.
Samuel withdrew his hand: "Is that so impolite? Miss Miranda Tate, or rather, Miss Talia."
Miranda Tate, who had already turned around, stopped abruptly when she heard this, then turned back with a look of confusion.
"I am Miranda Tate. Who is the Talia you mentioned? Did you mistake me for someone else?"
Samuel was speechless and glanced at Miranda Tate's hand.
Miranda Tate noticed his gaze, smiled, and extended her hand: "Hello, I am Miranda Tate."
One second, five seconds, ten seconds—
Samuel didn't extend his hand, he just stared at her like that.
Miranda Tate maintained a stiff smile on the surface and kept her hand extended.
But she had already decided in her heart that once she figured out why he knew her identity, she would make him pay the price.
Five minutes later.
Miranda Tate, who was already so embarrassed that she couldn't help but almost scratch her feet, finally saw the other person extend his hand.
However, the other person didn't shake her hand, but very abruptly brushed the hair by her ear and even leaned his body directly towards her.
"Talia al Ghul, I hope you have thought about how to face me the next time we meet."
"If you are still so rude, you will not have the chance to fulfill your Father's dying wish..."
After Samuel finished speaking, he raised his head, smiled at the shocked Miranda Tate, and walked past her, leaving.
Miranda Tate subconsciously turned to look at him.
But in just the time it took to turn around, the person was gone.
She looked around searchingly, searching everywhere, but couldn't find any trace of this man.
It was as if—as if he had disappeared into thin air.
Or perhaps, he didn't exist at all?
Miranda Tate took a deep breath and calmed down.
She temporarily stopped thinking about this man.
Her target today was Bruce Wayne.
However, strangely, Bruce Wayne, who was just socializing in the crowd, had disappeared at some point!
Bruce Wayne was currently in his room, silently looking at a maid who was apologizing to him.
"Your necklace is so beautiful. It reminds me of my mother's necklace. It couldn't possibly be the same one, could it?"
Bruce Wayne looked at the pearl necklace on her neck and chuckled, making a joke that wasn't funny to Selina.
Selina scratched her neck awkwardly.
But the string of beads on her wrist instantly froze Bruce Wayne's slightly smug smile.
"This is—"
"How did you get this string of beads?!"
Bruce Wayne pointed at the string of beads on Selina's wrist and questioned her sharply with a serious and cold tone.
Selina seemed to be scared by his reaction and touched the string of beads awkwardly: "This, this was given to me by my boyfriend. What's wrong?"
Boyfriend?
Is your boyfriend named Samuel?
Is your boyfriend Void Lord?
When Bruce Wayne was looking for Samuel, he naturally investigated the beautiful woman who was with him, who was the thief in front of him.
Selina Kyle, a wanted jewel thief, a con artist!
It was precisely because he had investigated her during the day that when he found her entering the Villa as a service maid earlier, Bruce Wayne came to find her and discovered that she had stolen something.
Bruce Wayne pointed to the bracelet and said to Selina: "How about I exchange the necklace for your bracelet?"
Selina subconsciously held the bracelet: "I said, this was given to me by my boyfriend. You want it—you have to pay more!"
