In the next few days, no one from the GCPD came to Bali Street to investigate the disappearance of the police chief.
It was as if the gunfire that night was all an illusion.
This allows Harley to intuitively feel the power of Falcon in Gotham.
Then, she stayed in Scarlet Paradise for a longer time, sometimes running there at eight or nine in the morning and staying until twelve at night.
The apartment became a dormitory for sleeping.
It’s not that I wanted to get close to him because he found out that the boss of Sass was awesome.
She barely saw Sass at the nightclub, unless he also went to the basement to work out.
Of course, Harley doesn't drink, dance, or watch male or female strippers. Unless there is an opportunity to increase her experience points, she always stays in the training ground to improve herself.
Target shooting and iron lifting were just the basic items. Later, she discovered that Sass also hired fighting coaches for the female shooters.
A real fighter, a "100-game champion" invited from the underground boxing ring.
As "Gotham's No. 1 Killer", Boss Sass is not shy about imparting his experience to his female gunmen.
Firearms, fists, sticks, knives, and even assassination techniques, Harley accepts them all.
She is like a sponge with no limits, crazily absorbing all knowledge related to personal strength.
Every day, every hour, my strength is improving visibly.
...
Christmas Eve, Harley's apartment.
The room is warm as spring, "Gotham Christmas Fun" is playing on the computer screen, and the table is filled with steaming food.
Selena shook off the snow flakes from her coat and hair, looked at Harry curiously, and asked in surprise: "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you seem to be radiant. Do you have a boyfriend?"
Harry rolled his eyes, "Didn't you realize that you are the only guest?"
"What good thing is that?" Selina looked around and asked doubtfully: "Why are they all Chinese food and dumplings, where's the turkey?"
"We already have ten plates, why should we eat turkey?"
"It's traditional to eat turkey on Christmas." Selena stood up and went to get her coat, "Wait a minute, I'll go buy a turkey on the street."
"No!" Harley pulled her and pointed to the big pot of chicken in the middle of the table, "It's just a turkey, but it's just changed its shape."
Selena's expression was distorted, "Is this possible?"
"Did you stuff the whole chicken into your belly? You didn't have to cut it into pieces with a knife."
Turkey meat is too burnt, especially roasted turkey, and it is difficult to taste well if the technique is not good.
Anyway, Harley doesn't have the skills or patience.
"It seems that you are living a good life. Not only do you have an extra washing machine and refrigerator, but you also have a new sofa."
Selena was eating spicy turkey while looking around Harley's room.
"Nuns don't get paid, but Boss Sass is very generous."
Harley took a sip of eggnog and said with a complicated expression: "Now I finally understand why you said that if ordinary people want to get ahead, it is more reliable to join a local black state than to study hard."
"This is not what I said. This is the reality of Gotham. For example, my athletic talent is only slightly worse than yours..." Selina pinched the belly of her little finger and said.
Harley opened her mouth, wanting to say, "Girl, wake up."
But today, Christmas Eve, she couldn't be too disappointed.
And she has cheats, but Selena is a real ordinary person. For ordinary people to have such a talent, they are indeed outstanding.
“The community public primary school I attended didn’t even have a playground, let alone qualified physical education teachers to explore my talents.
As for the Martha Scholarship for Gifted Children, I have never heard of it.
The students in our school have only two options, either to become gangsters, or to grow up laughing and laughing, and those with different looks will become waitresses in restaurants, while those with a bit of beauty will inevitably become skilled women."
Selena drank a full glass of eggnog, her silver face turned red, and she actually looked a little cute.
"My mother is skilled. Fortunately, she ran away a long time ago, otherwise I would be..."
"Dong dong dong..."
"Aunt Tata?" Hallie called towards the door.
"It's me." An older woman's voice was steady, somewhat familiar but she couldn't remember who it was.
Harley approached the cat's eye cautiously, and then she was stunned.
"Hurry up and open the door." The woman outside the door also looked at the peephole, making her well-maintained old face a little distorted.
Harley still hesitated for a few seconds before sighing and opening the door.
"Hi, Sister Laurie, it's Christmas and you haven't come home yet?" She smiled a little reluctantly.
"You think I don't want to go home?"
Laurie looked slightly tired.
She's probably not having a good time these days.
"Who is this?" Selena was still sitting in her seat eating and drinking.
"Let me introduce, this beautiful girl is my good friend Selina Kyle, everyone calls her Kitten.
Kitty, this elegant and noble lady is your most admired idol, the second generation of Silk Soul."
——When did I worship Silk Soul? Haven’t you seen that there are pictures of Britney in my bedroom?
Selena murmured in her heart, but she understood Harley's good intentions very smartly: This is a big boss, and there is no harm in currying favor with him.
"Wow, you are Silk Soul Laurie. God, you were a legend in the 1970s and 1980s, and you are still so young now."
Selena's acting skills are not bad, at least her tone and micro-expressions are on point, and there is no trace of exaggeration.
Laurie looked calm, as if he had returned to his own home. He took off his light brown woolen coat, sat directly at the table, glanced around, and asked: "Where is the turkey?"
"That's it," Selena pointed enthusiastically at the big pot of chicken in the middle, "I changed the shape, and I have to cut up the food anyway."
Harley immediately poured a glass of eggnog for her eldest sister.
After eating a few pieces of turkey with peppercorn oil and drinking a glass of eggnog, Laurie sighed: "Your life is much better than I thought, but it's not surprising, after all, you are dating the prince of Gotham.
"
"Sister, you can eat and drink whatever you want on this table, but you can't talk nonsense. I didn't use Wayne's penny in vain."
Then, Harley asked curiously: "Have you been to Wayne Manor and learned about me from Bruce?"
Laurie nodded slightly and cursed: "This poor place in Gotham is so chaotic. I have been trying to find you for a long time, but I can't find any trace of you.
A few days ago, the Prince of Gotham defended you at a press conference. I immediately understood that that kid probably knew where you were.
I went to find him, and he was also a cautious kid, and kept insisting that you left Wayne Manor and are missing."
"Sister Laurie, you care so much about me, it's really..." Harry was really touched.
Laurie raised his hand, interrupting her lyrical performance.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm looking for you because of Clark, the big man who accompanied you during the surgery at Robert's house.
When you were hunted by the Crusaders before, I didn't care at all."
"Gah——" Harley's little mouth opened slightly, and her somewhat distorted expression slowly returned to dullness.
"Clarke?" Selina said hesitantly: "Are you looking for me? What did I commit?"
"Are you Clark?" Now it was Laurie's turn to open his mouth wide and his expression was dull.
"I'm not Clark, but I was the one who suggested Hallie go find Robert that night.
We didn’t want to kill anyone after the operation was completed, and we didn’t want to be hunted down by the Crusaders, so I disguised myself as a big man.”
"Now it seems that that bastard Robert really betrayed us." Selina gritted her teeth.
Laurie's eyes were sharp and he asked seriously: "Why are you pretending to be Clark Kent?
Clark of Smallville, Kansas, how much do you know and where did you hear it?
Do you know that the Crusaders lost four holy relics because of Clark?"
The kitten was stunned and said blankly: "I don't know Clark from Kansas.
By the way, where is Kansas?
There is also a small town, is it a small town on the outskirts of Gotham? Could it be that Clark is also wandering on the streets of Gotham?"
Harley also looked confused, as if she didn't know what the two of them were talking about, but the villain in her heart was lying on the ground and beating the floor, almost laughing like crazy.
It's a coincidence that Laurie and Selena met just in time.
She said nothing and knew nothing.
Laurie grabbed Selena's fork-holding hand, his movements were natural but secretly matched with her pulse, and he looked into her eyes and asked: "Didn't you deliberately divert the trouble to the east and let the Crusaders find Clark?"
At the same time, fifty meters above the sky outside the apartment, Dachao in ordinary work clothes also turned on his super hearing and listened to Selena's every heartbeat.
"What are you talking about? I don't know Clark, and I never said that I wanted to... Oh my god, Silk Soul, are you too old, your spirit-"
Selina looked at Laurie's expression and turned to horror and sympathy.
Laurie let go of her hand and turned his gaze to Hallie, "What did you talk about that day in Robert's apartment?"
Harley scratched the back of her head and thought hard: "It's nothing. I plan to leave Gotham and find a remote town to escape the limelight. Selina thinks that the people in the town are simple and not as mixed as Gotham."
"A small town..." Laurie frowned: "Did you mention Kansas and Clark Kent?"
"Selena is pretending to be my friend. Of course I won't call her by her full name. We didn't mention Clark Kent at all, right, Selena?"
It's all "false" truth. Harley may be a little excited, but her tone and expression are not too abnormal.
The kitten's eyes were clear and he didn't dodge. He nodded and said: "Kansas is next door to Harley's hometown. We may have mentioned that place inadvertently, but Clark Kent did not appear in the conversation at all."
"Shit, it's a complete coincidence!" Laurie slapped his forehead, shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Dachao flew away...
"Is Clark Kent from Smallville, Kansas, a great person?" Harley asked curiously.
"Alas!" Laurie leaned heavily on the back of his chair, his face full of helplessness.
Kill and silence?
It's not necessary and it's not her style.
But now they all know Clark from Smallwell, and they can even check his basic information online...
Laurie frowned and thought for a long time, then asked: "There is really no future in wandering on the streets. I think you two have great bones, are smart, and have the talent to become top agents.
How about you, as recommended by me, go to the FBI National Academy to study for a few years and become an elite agent who serves the country and defends justice?"
Harley and Selena looked at each other, then shook their heads together.
"Sister Laurie, if there is any information that needs to be kept secret and you inadvertently reveal it, tell us directly. We are all good girls and we must keep it secret and keep it in our hearts." Harley said sincerely.
"Laurie, Laurie, you really failed today!" Laurie held his forehead and laughed at himself.
"It's not your fault, it's all the fault of the person who provided you with false information." Harley sneered.
Laurie glanced at her, stood up and said, "That's all for today, Merry Christmas, I have to go."
"Hey, come on, I still have a lot of things I want to ask my eldest sister for advice!" Harley quickly grabbed her.
"The headquarters of the Holy Advent Crusade was attacked, and the Tongue of Fire was pressed to the ground and rubbed, but the fact that the Tongue of Fire appeared also made the furious Pentagon put out the fire."
Laurie said meaningfully: "They all want to go to heaven, so I can't help you."
