Overworld, Wayne Manor, Batcave.

"Are you sure tonight is a special event, sir?"

Alfred came up behind Bruce with a plate.

"Yes, Alfred." Bruce stood up and began to put on his equipment.

"But we just captured the Pig-Faced Man, and there are no lunatics still active in the city for the time being." Alfred said, "Most of the remaining gangs in Gotham's old era have also been eliminated.

I thought we promised to at least have some rest today."

"Batman never rests, Alfred, you should know that."

There was a brief silence, then Bruce's voice softened slightly.

"Is there any arrangement you didn't tell me?"

Alfred was silent for a few seconds and sighed softly.

". It's a girl, Master. I want you to meet her." Alfred said, "I've known her since I was a teenager. Her name is Julie Madison, and she said you dated for a while."

"Julie." Bruce said calmly.

"There's nothing to lose by reconnecting, Master. I hope."

"No." Bruce interrupted mercilessly before he could finish, "That was before Batman. You know I won't compromise."

Alfred took a deep breath, as if he had expected this response, and began to use the words he had prepared: "You are still young, Master. You should listen to what I said when I was young that I wanted to act. I also vowed to say absolutely not."

However, before he had time to introduce the first law of pluralism, "True Fragrance", Bruce interrupted again: "There are some things you don't know, Alfred."

He pondered for a moment and brewed for a few seconds.

"For a long time after their dad and mom died, I had a rough time. Well, that's probably an understatement. Everywhere I looked, I saw them. I didn't. Unable to live a normal life, the world is like a hall of mirrors in some kind of nightmare.

So I paid someone to pretend to be you, Alfred. I got the paperwork and I paid the doctor at Arkham.”

This was indeed the first time Alfred had heard of it. He took a deep breath: "If you need treatment, Master"

"No, it wasn't therapy I wanted then, Alfred. I didn't want to be myself anymore. I wanted to start over, to restart my life, and I wanted them to shock me until I was no longer myself, until I became someone else. Man. I almost succeeded. It was only a few seconds away and I knew I was going to succeed.

But at the last minute I stopped them. "

Bruce patted Alfred on the shoulder.

"I knew I had to find some way to defeat it, I had to find something crazy to prevent me from becoming crazy. I succeeded, I found it." He said, "The purpose of Batman's existence is to tell the people of Gotham that no more Fear, that's what makes me happy, the only way."

"You say that because you don't understand yet." Alfred still refused to give up. "There is also a joy that you have never experienced before, a deeper joy."

Bruce smiled. At this time, he had put on his uniform and cape, and picked up the bat helmet in his hand.

"Not for me, Alfred. That's not for me."

The Batmobile spewed flames from the rear and rushed out along the narrow tunnel with a sharp roar. The door was closed, and only the old man and the bat were left in the huge cave for company.

Alfred sat back in his chair dejectedly and sighed.

Five minutes later, Julie Madison called.

"Alfred? How about it? Any chance?"

"Miss Julie. I'm sorry."

Alfred paused and glanced at the Batmobile that was racing through the Batcomputer's positioning.

".I'm afraid he already has a partner."

After hanging up the phone, the old man let out a long sigh again, as if he had aged several years in a moment.

Until a strong wind suddenly blew up in the empty cave, and a transparent vortex rolled up out of thin air. Alfred was so startled that he jumped up from his chair. When he looked back, he saw that the first person to emerge from the whirlpool was a young, beautiful and casually dressed girl.

Alfred recognized her. She has been to the Batcave. Her name is Helena Wayne, the daughter from the earth next door that the young master never had.

What surprised him even more was what came next.

When he saw the white-haired, old but somewhat familiar face that appeared next, Alfred couldn't help but slowly opened his mouth wide, and his jaw seemed to fall to the ground.

"Master Tomas???"

Starr Corporation.

"Ms. Starr, the Finance Minister said there are important issues."

"We have acquired Dr. Mark's unpublished paper on stable parallel universes"

“Journalists from Time magazine have set up camp and made reservations.”

A group of men and women in suits and ties had surrounded Kara since early in the morning, chattering away. Carla felt dizzy.

At first, she only thought it was fun to become a socialite by buying a company from her fellow alien, but after three minutes of excitement, she began to find it less interesting.

After finally getting rid of these noisy guys, she leaned in the office in a daze.

“It would be great if I didn’t have to work and could earn a lot of money.”

Her assistant stood nearby, flipping through the memos.

"Mr. Star informed us that the rare earth goods we sell are about to bottom out, if we can't replenish them as soon as possible."

"Ha, this is easy." The hair on Kara's forehead suddenly stood up and she jumped up from the chair, "Let them wait and make up for it tonight."

As he said that, he jumped out and went out.

A few minutes later, Kara, who put on a cool summer swimsuit, plunged into the sea.

Towards the depths of the ocean, the super sight was activated, and he saw the bottom layer across the dark sea, structurally looking at the entire seabed.

"Mud, clay, and...ha, found it."

Kara's eyes lit up.

"dysprosium."

Behind her, she dragged a long trail of water bubbles straight to the bottom, cutting through her heat vision. She then lifted the hill-like rock into the air with her bare hands, rushed out of the sea with a clatter, and put the rock aside.

"Done." Kara nodded with satisfaction as she looked at her masterpiece and clapped her hands twice.

It’s not that difficult to make money.

"The chairman is personally responsible for supply collection?"

Kara jumped at the sudden sound. She looked up and breathed a sigh of relief when she found Shen You who had appeared at an unknown time.

Fortunately, no one else saw it.

"Yes."

Kara stretched her arms to let the sun fully shine on her fair skin covered with water drops.

"Why are you here?"

"Oh, I've been doing some research recently, and I also want to dig up something." Shen said.

"Huh?" Kara tilted her head, "Do you also want to dig for rare earth elements?"

"That's not true."

Shen You smiled.

"What I want to dig up is life."
