I, the younger brother of Superman, ended up with a Thanos template.

"I know Rome won't be built in a day, Afu."

Rubbing his temples, Bruce Wayne opened up to the old man who had raised him.

"Having gone through life-or-death trials and undergone hellish training that could drive many people insane, I once thought I was ready."

But when I returned to Gotham, I realized I was still lacking a lot.

"Infiltration, sabotage, assassination and infiltration, investigation, protection are worlds apart."

He got up and walked to the workbench, polishing his batarangs with tools, the sparks flying reflected in his pupils.

"Afu, I have advanced technology and powerful weapons, but there are some things that technology cannot replace."

I need to be more precise, stronger, and faster…

Like a bat in the night, they come and go without a trace, precisely hunting their prey, striking with deadly accuracy, ruthless and efficient, never making a mistake!

“I have to interrupt you, young master.”

Afu shook his head.

“I don’t know how long it will take you to do all this, but you’d better protect what you already have first.”

"What do you mean?" He stopped what he was doing, turned his head, and a look of confusion appeared on his face.

"If you continue like this, the top-secret technology and powerful weapons from Wayne Enterprises' technology research and development department may be lost to you."

Afu couldn't bear to see the child he had watched grow up pressuring him so much, not giving himself a moment's respite for the sake of this city.

"There won't be any more cool and advanced Batmobiles and Batsuits for you to play with then."

And there are indeed more pressing matters at hand.

Bruce Wayne's eyes showed a questioning look.

“William Earl had been managing and controlling your family business for many years, but after your disappearance, some of his actions gradually became out of line.”

As chairman of the board, he is currently lobbying the board members to take your family business, Wayne Group, public.

As he listened to Alfred's account, Bruce Wayne's face darkened.

For most companies, going public might bring a host of benefits, but for Wayne Enterprises, which has coexisted with Gotham for nearly two centuries, those benefits are negligible.

There's only one thing: after a company goes public, shareholding changes become very easy, such as diluting the shares of a guy named Wayne who has been missing for years and kicking him off the Wayne Group's board of directors.

“You’re right, Afu.”

Perhaps it's time to let Gotham know that the son of Wayne has returned.

The sharp batarang flew more than ten meters and hit the bullseye precisely. His eyes were focused as he spoke slowly.

……

After many twists and turns, on the brick-paved ground, in the deserted streets and alleys.

A young girl wearing black skinny jeans and a blue striped women's shirt, her loose brown hair covering her fair, swan-like neck, and her bright, intelligent eyes, like jewels, hidden behind her unfashionable square-framed glasses.

Her outfit made her look like a female college student who buried herself in her studies all day and didn't socialize at all; no one would be wary of such a bookworm.

She first stuffed the stolen wallet into her waist bag, then put on the jewelry on her hand, her eyes shining as she admired the sapphire ring she had just stolen.

“A standard star blue sapphire, its quality is enough to rank in the top ten or so in my collection.”

Selena pushed up her glasses, a hint of joy flashing in her eyes.

Today seems to be her lucky day; she even managed to find a beautiful sapphire ring while just walking down the street.

"Stealing is not a good habit."

A young, magnetic voice came from behind without warning.

She immediately hid the ring as nimbly as a startled cat and turned to look.

"Who?"

[Selena Kyle's nervousness +18...]

Chapter 54 Are you serious?

Selena turned her head and was right in front of a camera.

David nodded in satisfaction and turned his phone away.

"How did the photos turn out? Was the angle okay?"

On the phone screen, there was a picture of Selena putting on the stolen sapphire ring, a smug smile on her face like a little thief.

Delete it!

Upon seeing evidence of the theft, Selena hurriedly reached out to grab it.

But David easily stepped back to avoid it, and in front of her, he put his phone in his pocket and patted it lightly.

"This is evidence that will be used in court in the future."

"Give me!"

Selena reached out to grab the phone from David's hand, trying to delete the evidence that her face had been photographed. She was agile and nimble, but each time she reached out, she was a step too late.

David looked relaxed, like a bee or butterfly dancing among flowers, seemingly unhurried, but Selena couldn't even touch a corner of his clothes.

After a few quick turns, Selena, like a college student who doesn't exercise often, braced herself on her knees, panting heavily, and suddenly looked in surprise behind David, as if there was something extraordinary about it.

"what is that!"

"Don't resort to such childish tricks."

Despite Selena's superb acting skills and the unexpected timing of her call, David didn't even turn his head, his expression remaining dull.

Selena Kyle, nicknamed Catwoman, is an international master thief who targets jewelry, artifacts, and other precious works of art. Her thieving skills are world-class, and she can steal from targets in any heavily guarded environment.

Although Selena is still young, he doesn't believe that such a few moves could exhaust a habitual thief like Selena.

"As a thief, is that all the physical strength you have?"

"I'm not afraid of being caught and taken to the police station."

Snapped!

"Let me give you a piece of advice, outsider."

Don't mess with anyone in Gotham, even if she's a thief.

Slightly annoyed by David's teasing, Selena pulled a black whip from her purse and lashed it out with a sharp crack that sent shivers down everyone's spines.

Her entire demeanor changed, transforming her from a delicate little flower into a black rose with sharp thorns.

"Some things are a bit late to the party."

I just met the darkest, most ruthless person in Gotham.

Seeing the young catwoman, whose demeanor had changed, take out a weapon, David raised his eyebrows, somewhat curious.

"By the way, how did you know I'm from out of town?"

Your trench coat is beautiful.

But in Gotham, where it's constantly raining and flooded, only two types of people would dress like this.

Selena took off her glasses, flicked her whip, and the black whip, like a serpent, instantly traversed several meters, striking towards David.

"First, you're someone who doesn't understand Gotham; second, you're the kind of guy who wears luxury goods once and then throws them away!"

"you're right."

David caught the whip that was coming at him, glanced at the mud-splattered hem of his trench coat, and turned back to laugh.

"But why can't I be the latter?"

The young catwoman ignored David's problem. She tried to pull back the whip, causing David to stumble, but the whip was as if it were being held firmly by a hydraulic press and could not be pulled at all. Even using her hands was the same; her feet pushed off the ground and slipped on the wet ground.

"Damn it, what did your parents feed you since you were a baby?!"

She felt that wrestling with a bull wasn't that difficult.

Vegetables, apple pie, oatmeal?

Do you sometimes have a glass of milk in the morning?

With one hand gripping the whip, David gave it a slight tug, and Selena's lithe body flew several meters, landing on the other side, covered in mud and looking utterly disheveled.

"You are lighter than I thought."

He turned around, looked at Selena who was lying on the ground in pain, and raised an eyebrow in surprise.

"How can you run fast if you're not careful?"

You're such a gentleman, country bumpkin.

The sound seemed to be in pain. Selena clutched her waist and limped to her feet, deliberately making sarcastic and mocking remarks. But the next second, she suddenly pulled a stun gun out of her bag.

The high-pressure nitrogen gas in the magazine was released rapidly, and the two electrodes in the barrel were suddenly ejected.

"Let's see if you can handle this!"
