American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 269 Looking for someone
After Bruce left, Alfred's room fell silent. He sat there with a complex expression on his face and mixed feelings in his heart. His mind flashed through countless past events, recalling everything they had experienced together from Bruce's childhood to the present.

Alfred paced back and forth in the room, feeling increasingly depressed. The luxurious decorations could not soothe the turmoil in his heart.

Finally, Alfred walked to the desk, took out a pen and paper, took a deep breath, and began to write a letter. His handwriting was neat and firm, as if every word condensed his life's memories and determination.

In the letter, Alfred admitted all his crimes in detail and emphasized that he had no accomplices: "All the mistakes were made by me alone, please do not implicate any innocent people. I am willing to bear all the consequences and die to atone for my sins."

After writing the letter, Alfred took a deep breath, sealed the letter, put it in a conspicuous place, and then turned his eyes to a pair of rolled-up trousers on the sofa.

After ordering Harley to get rid of a maid, Bruce walked to the window with light steps and looked at the night view outside. Bruce sighed softly, feeling melancholy in his heart.

Now even role-playing can no longer satisfy Bruce. Only those fan videos full of fantasy can bring a short-term sense of excitement, but even this kind of excitement is gradually becoming boring and weak. Bruce is craving and hoping for something more exciting.

At this moment, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Catwoman stepped into the room. Bruce turned around in surprise and looked at her in front of him: "Selina? Why are you here? Are you not angry with me anymore?"

Catwoman walked up to Bruce, reached out her hand and gently stroked his cheek. Looking at his haggard face, her eyes were full of heartache: "I heard about Alfu. I never thought he would choose to commit suicide. Don't be too sad."

Bruce was stunned for a moment, then his eyes turned, a trace of pain and complex emotions flashed across his eyes, he took a deep breath, and said with a disheartened look:
"Afu has always been one of the people closest to me. His passing is a huge blow to me."

Catwoman held Bruce's hand and comforted him softly: "I know you are sad now, but you have to be strong. Alfu would not want to see you in so much pain. He chose to commit suicide in order not to implicate you."

Bruce nodded, his eyes still full of sadness:
"I know, but every time I think of him, my heart feels like it's being torn apart. He did so much for me, and I failed to protect him."

Catwoman hugged Bruce gently and whispered: "You have done everything you can. Now you need to cheer up. Alfu's sacrifice cannot be in vain. You must keep moving forward, for him and for all those who love you."

Bruce slowly raised his head and looked into Catwoman's eyes, which were full of guilt and pain. He took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"Thank you, Selena. I'm sorry for cheating on you before. Now that I think about it, I'm really not a human being. I was drunk at the time and was distracted and confused, so I did something that let you down. Can you forgive me?"

Catwoman frowned slightly, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes. She did not respond immediately, but looked at Bruce quietly, waiting for him to continue.

"I have changed for the better," Bruce continued, his voice full of regret and sincerity, "Alfred's departure made me realize a lot of things. I know I hurt you and let you down, but I hope you can give me another chance to prove myself. I really hope we can start over." Catwoman still didn't speak, just looked at Bruce silently. She was struggling in her heart. On the one hand, she was angry and hurt about Bruce's betrayal, and on the other hand, she sympathized with Bruce's sadness and regret at the moment. She knew that Bruce had just lost Alfred, which was a huge blow to him. Seeing his painful appearance at the moment, her heart softened.

"Selina," Bruce said with a sob, his eyes full of anticipation and anxiety, "I really regret what I did in the past. I am willing to give everything to make up for my mistakes. Please forgive me and give me another chance."

Catwoman struggled and said, "Bruce, you know how much I trusted you and loved you. Your betrayal hurts me a lot, but seeing how you are now, it's hard for me to continue blaming you."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Bruce's eyes, and he held Catwoman's hand tightly: "Selina, I swear I will cherish this opportunity and never let you down again."

Catwoman looked at Bruce deeply, tears flashing in her eyes. She sighed softly and finally nodded: "Bruce, I am willing to give you another chance. But you must remember that this is the last chance. If you disappoint me again, it will really be over between us."

Bruce excitedly hugged Catwoman in his arms, tears of gratitude flashing in his eyes: "Thank you, Selina, I won't let you down again. I will spend the rest of my life making up for my mistakes and proving my love for you."

After deciding to stay for the time being, Catwoman began to instruct the maids to clean and decorate the room:

“Move that sofa out and replace it with the purple velvet one I like. Hang that Van Gogh on the east side, and remember to adjust the lighting to make sure the colors of the painting appear brighter at night.”

The maids quickly followed Catwoman's instructions, some moved furniture, some hung murals, and the whole room became brand new under Catwoman's command.

Bruce watched all this and took the opportunity to pull Harley aside, whispering to her, "Eucliwood, I need you to find a man who is good at playing cards and looks like Xiao Xian as soon as possible. I will be of great use to him."

After hearing this, Harley pretended to be embarrassed and said, "It's hard to find, Mr. Bruce. Let's not talk about how to know whether someone is good at playing cards. It's too difficult to look like Xiao Xian. He is the most handsome man in the world. Can plastic surgery work? It may take a little longer."

Bruce felt that his request might be a bit high, so he said
"Forget about the plastic surgery. I need it urgently. It's fine if I can look like him with makeup. As for the card skills, you can find a few more people and send them to see who has the best card skills. Remember, there can't be any handle or evidence left in this matter, otherwise, Ah Fu's today will be your tomorrow."

Harley heard this and pretended to be scared and said, "I understand, Mr. Bruce. I will try my best to find someone and I will not let you down."

Bruce nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, we must be cautious about this matter. And Selina must not be told about it. Don't worry, I will definitely not treat you unfairly after this is done."
