ตอน 179: Sly Catwoman
"Sir?" A maid carrying a wine tray asked in confusion when Jack stopped her with her hand.
"I didn't expect you to be here..." Jack looked at the maid's face carefully and confirmed, "What are you doing here, Selina?"
"Sir... are you perhaps mistaking me for someone else?" The maid hesitated for a moment, noticing the glances directed her way, tinged with hostility.
"Come play with me in the future Selina Kyle, or should I say the infamous Catwoman" Jack leaned in, whispering softly.
With that cryptic remark, Jack pivoted and departed, leaving the maid, or rather, Catwoman, Selina Kyle, to ponder his words. She cast a lingering glance at Jack before calmly addressing the curious onlookers. With a polite smile, she handed the tray to Jack, who then passed it to an attendant. With a graceful nod, she made her way towards the rear kitchen of Wayne Manor.
Observing this exchange, Jack narrowed his eyes thoughtfully but made no move to follow.
His mind was consumed by a singular question.
Why is Catwoman here now? If the butterfly effect is caused by changing previous factors, what purpose does Catwoman serve in this scenario? The League of Assassins situation remains unchanged, with Jack noticing at least ten disguised Assassins with just a glance.
It's not the right time to expose them, and it's too late anyway. Jack decides to first find out why Catwoman has appeared here.
Jack ponders for a moment, weaving through the crowd. The women who had been keeping an eye on him just pass by, and suddenly, he can't locate Catwoman!
....
Exiting the reception hall, the "maid" finds a slightly remote corner. She removes the white patterned fabrics used for camouflage, leaving only a plain black outfit. Despite its simplicity, her tall figure radiates an indescribable charm.
Next, the "maid" unravels her hair, revealing flowing black locks. In an instant, the "maid" transforms into the renowned Catwoman, Selina Kyle!
"That guy actually knows my identity..." Selina frowns, grappling with this perplexing puzzle.
In her previous actions, Selina always wore her Catwoman uniform to ensure the safety of her endeavors. She was confident that with her vigilance, she had never exposed her true face to the outside world. Today, strictly speaking, marks the first time she's acting in her true colors, and yet she was recognized.
It's like seeing a ghost!
"And this thing, what is it?" Selina opens her slender hands, revealing a small syringe. In it, a bright blue liquid glows slightly under the moonlight.
This is precisely what the mysterious man who called out her name discreetly handed to her!
Selina was baffled at the time, but given the circumstances, she had no choice but to accept it. Taking advantage of Jack's departure, who seemed uninterested in lingering, she quickly steps out to contemplate the next plan.
She is very conflicted now. She is worried about the risk of being called out and wants to leave, but she is reluctant to part with the employment payment provided by that organization.
That's a lot of diamonds!
"That's an antidote," a voice said at this moment, "It's used to remove the effect of a neurochemical agent that can cause fear and confusion in people."
Selina was taken aback, and while making a defensive posture, she looked towards The source of the sound.
It was Jack who had appeared here at some point.
"...Antidote?" Selina looked at Jack, then looked down at the syringe in her hand, as if she was thinking about something. When she raised her head, her eyes began to become seductive, and her tone of voice seemed to be mixed Facing the temptation, "Can you tell me more?"
"Oh, I have to say that the title Catwoman really suits you, Ms. Selena." Jack chuckled and said lightly, "Like a cat, You can get tired of people at any time, but in fact you still maintain a considerable distance. Your disguise is very good, but you can't deceive me."
Jack's reaction was completely beyond Selena's expectations.
In the banquet hall, when Jack stopped Selina at first, Selina thought Jack was attracted by her appearance.
Apart from anything else, women must be confident in this area, not to mention Selena also has this confidence capital. Although she has deliberately kept a low profile in her dress and appearance, she thinks that she stands out among the guests at the banquet. It is also one of the best.
However, when Jack revealed her identity, she was instantly confused.
After Jack appeared here and told Selina that what he gave was an antidote, Selina immediately guessed something.
She still thought that Jack fell in love with her, so she planned to show her courtesy.
The only difference is that this person didn't know where he learned his true identity!
Therefore, Selena, who thought she had clearly analyzed Jack's action pattern, decided to use her trick to trick Jack into talking.
