Chapter 26 Published



While what happened at Gotham College was being discussed in the school forum, Millie was cleaning the house, and Serena was sitting on the railing, swinging her long, strong legs leisurely, like a real cat.

Selina Kyle, her sister, the one who saved her from the darkness, her caretaker... and the thief known as Catwoman.

Millie patiently sprinkled water on the table, then wiped it dry, repeating the above steps. In the repetitive labor over and over again, she felt her heart gradually calm down.

She has always liked this kind of simple labor since she was a child. It would make her forget her drunken father and his iron fist. Millie grew up obediently, patiently, and carefully.

It was not until she met Selena that she realized that women did not have to be docile to survive, they could also resist.

It turns out that her seemingly invincible alcoholic father had actually been corroded by alcohol for a long time, and he would fall down with just a slight push.

Then she escaped from that home and lived with Selena and other sisters she rescued. She was hardworking and a little smart enough to successfully enter university and then returned to Gotham.

"You've become like a gentleman," Serena suddenly said, interrupting Millie's recollection. "Have you started to defend the rights of your superiors?"

"No," Millie paused, "Why would you think so?"

"You go to work every day dressed in fine clothes, and you seldom come back," Selina suddenly jumped down from the railing on the second floor, but she didn't make a sound. She held Millie's face and said softly, "There's nothing wrong with being a superior person. Is it a good thing to be the same as those people outside? When you were admitted to the university, everyone was very happy - but why did you come back, Little Mild?"

"I just came back to see you guys—"

Serena interrupted her: "I mean back to Gotham!"

Millie gasped for air, tears dripping onto Serena's gloves. She asked, "Why did you go against the mayor, Serena?"

Because she was frightened, she took two days off and soon discovered that something was wrong with Selena. Then, she used some tricks to find out Selena's purpose. Although Millie did not have any talent in fighting, she was hardworking and careful.

Catwoman wants to blow up the "Iceberg Chemical Plant" invested by the city government, and Millie knows what is in the chemical plant. The mayor is purchasing building materials in the name of the chemical plant, and these materials will be used in the construction of the new sewer.

"I just can't understand it, Serena," Millie cried. "Why would you do this? Isn't this helping us?"

"It's you, not us," Catwoman stroked her hair, "Do you really believe these politicians? Isn't the so-called improvement of the environment in the East District just an excuse to clean us up? When you came back from school, the real you had already left us. We are no longer the same kind of people. Go and be your superior, Millie."

"I just..." Millie paused and wiped her tears, "I just found out that you... are wrong."

After graduating from college, or rather, after receiving a real and sufficient education, Millie began to realize that although Catwoman saved some people, her theft itself was problematic.

After discovering the joy of theft, Catwoman began to steal art and jewelry from the rich. Although losing these things was not as painful for the rich as it was for the poor, what Millie rejected was theft itself - but she was ashamed to say it.

…She was raised with the money stolen by her sisters.

She was ashamed that her attempts to change or save her family had only pushed them further away.

"So you want to tell your mayor lady?" Catwoman leaned against the window, not caring.

"No," Millie said, "I will explain to you the mayor's purpose and tell you how this policy is implemented. If you can't understand, I will continue to work hard instead of secretly telling others and letting them stop you - I don't want to be pushed away again!"

That's betrayal, she doesn't want this!

Catwoman: "Then you will definitely fail."

Millie shook her head fiercely and hugged her waist: "I will do my best to stop you, and no matter what you do in the end, I will bear the consequences together."

She hugged her sisters, her family, and she wanted to cry again. She felt the cat woman's attitude soften slightly and patted her shoulder - Millie's eyes went dark.

Catwoman sent Millie, who was knocked unconscious by her, back to her room and closed the door.

Just as she was about to climb out the window to leave, there was a knock on their door. After the brief knocking, someone shouted, "Is anyone there?"

Catwoman frowned, climbed up the eaves of the roof and looked at the people below——

The man was obviously a cop, even though he was in plain clothes, but Catwoman had been dealing with people like this for ten years and could tell at a glance. The other two were probably students, their ages were obvious, but the woman in the middle was a little strange.

She looked well-trained and powerful, but she didn't look like a police officer at all. She looked more like a mercenary. She could be negotiated and traded with.

Catwoman noticed their car parked opposite. It had rained last night, so the tire tracks were very obvious. It could be seen that they drove directly to the house and stopped. Why?

Just as she was thinking, the woman below her suddenly raised her head and looked straight at her. The cat girl blinked, but did not dodge and smiled at her.

Then she returned to the room and made a phone call.

"What are you looking at?" Tim asked. He also raised his head, but only saw the dark window.

The two boys present were Tim and Peter. Wilder shouted something like "If you don't take me with you, I'll post the picture on the forum", but they ignored him.

"Come to think of it," Weiwei thought of something at the time, "Whiteyon Scott's last name seems a little familiar?"

"Perhaps you've heard of Justice Meg? Meg Scott," said Jo. "He became famous after the Penguin Trial. Whiterion was his nephew. Members of these old families always have strange and unpronounceable names."

Thanks to his uncle, the Chief Justice, Whiterian was not expelled from Gotham College even though he was always causing trouble in the academy.

After all, Coleman College is a private high school, and Scott is one of the school's directors.

Compared to the camera boy Wild, the other two seemed to be much more friendly. Joe didn't say anything about their freeloading.

Tim wanted to investigate the female police officer who had "seen the dead", while Peter was simply concerned about the outcome of the case.

In theory, they should first send the body back to the GCPD, hand it over to the forensic doctor to confirm the cause of death, find information about the deceased, interview the people who have seen the deceased, and then figure out what happened, but all this has a premise -

"Are we really investigating a homicide?" Peter asked awkwardly, "but there are no casualties."

"No," Weiwei said decisively, "Maybe the body was handled in some special way after the other person died."

Tim choked as he was about to speak, as if his words had been snatched away by someone.

——But he did think so.

There is no shortage of dead bodies, perverts, lunatics and geniuses in Gotham. Occasionally, there are people with super powers that cannot be explained by common sense. Tim quickly adjusted his mentality, but Peter... It's not that he can't accept it, it's just that he always wants to save everyone. Tim understands him.

After entering Crime Alley, they followed the female police officer's instructions and drove directly to the front of the house.

"I remember seeing this kid here," Weiwei said, "Should we go knock on the door and ask what's going on?"

That's why they are knocking on the door here now.

Of course, Vivi didn't have to see "that kid" here, because she couldn't see herself. But after entering the Crime Alley map, she spotted a green-named [Secretary] here. Although she wasn't the only one with a secretary, and she couldn't confirm whether it was Sherk or Millie, and of course it might be neither, but since it was a green name, she should be easier to communicate with - especially when surrounded by the red names in Crime Alley.

She looked up at the tall tree beside her and moved her neck:

Crime Alley is Park Street... I wonder if the people here have gained a little childishness after planting this glowing [Colorful Street Tree]. Judging from the density of red names, it's probably not the case.

No one answered, but Weiwei was sure that in addition to the green-named [Secretary] there was also a red-named [Thief], and it was likely that they didn't want to open the door.

Joe waved for them to move apart and he decided to break in.

Seeing him trying to knock on the door, everyone was silent for a moment, whether it was the extremely strong Vivi, Peter who had been bitten by a spider and had super strength, or Tim who had undergone training far beyond that of an ordinary person.

"Why don't we go together?"

Anyway, we have the strength of three people, so it doesn’t matter if I use a little more force, Weiwei thought.

Then, the next second, the door panel flew inwards due to their actions. Qiao was unable to retract it in time and fell to his knees on the ground.

Qiao: “?”

After everyone entered the door, the sound of a car starting suddenly came from outside the door -

Joe and Tim were the first to react, with Joe immediately shouting, "Our car!"

Oh no, this is Crime Alley, home to thieves and pickpockets, he should have left someone in the car!

Weiwei: “…”

The body is still in the car!

Tim jumped out of the left window and said, "I'll go after him, don't mind me."

He left a locator in the car, so we might as well follow him to find out where the lair of the guy who stole the "corpse" is!

In the blink of an eye, Peter had already jumped out of the right window and said anxiously: "My ears are better, I can hear where the car is going--"

There was a suspicious noise outside the window, as if he had knocked over a trash can.

Qiao cursed and took out his gun. "Newcomer, you stay here. I'll go find those two kids."

While the loss of the "dead"'s body is important, Crime Alley is far more dangerous than the two kids imagined.

At this moment, all three of them forgot one thing——

Maybe the guys who drove away the car weren't here to steal the body? After all, they didn't have X-ray vision, so they could tell there was a special body inside without opening the trunk?

However, the characteristic of smart people is that they always think too much.

Just as Qiao rushed out, he suddenly heard the sound of a motorcycle engine behind him.

His new recruit rode on a cool black heavy motorcycle and waved at him: "Get on board, how can you catch up with a car by running?"

Joe:?

Wait, where did you get that motorcycle?
