Chapter 64 Drinking Together at Night

"Want a drink? Where are we going?"

Having been pulled away from the hall by Pamela and having witnessed the death, Lucius is still in the process of investigating and cannot allow his emotions to run wild.

But Pamela clearly didn't want the off-duty officer to get involved in some dangerous cases.

Since Miss Raven has already made it clear that the Black Doves are connected to gangs in Gotham, then it's unlikely that the investigation into the gold will yield any results.

The mob may not be able to deal with Batman, but they have countless ways to cut off Gotham police leads.

Lucius's solo search for answers, without any assistance, will likely only plunge him into deeper crisis.

"Pamela? Are you scared?"

Receiving no response, Lucius began to worry about his lover's mental state.

Having experienced a terrifying gas attack, and with the last gas incident involving one of the students not long ago, if Pamela's fear stemmed from that classmate's death, then perhaps she really shouldn't have stayed at the academy any longer.

"No... I'm actually fine."

With a forced smile, Pamela continued to pull Lucius out of the academy, finding it difficult to articulate her own emotions.

As her control over plants became more proficient and her strength increased, her opinion of Lucius also subtly changed.

That feeling never changed, but Pamela sensed that her desire for control was gradually growing stronger...

She didn't want Lucius to leave her sight and do anything dangerous.

Especially after learning more about the darker side of Gotham...

"Let's go to a bar? Or anywhere is fine. I'd like to have something to drink."

Pamela gripped Lucius's hand tightly and answered casually.

If only I could get away from Gotham University, away from this chaotic center...

Seeing that Pamela was not in a good mood, Lucius abandoned his idea of ​​continuing the investigation and instead spoke softly:

"Shall we go straight home? I remember we have a few nice bottles of red wine at home."

The original owner wasn't a big fan of wine, but perhaps to create a better atmosphere and make a bigger move, he still collected a few bottles of special red wine, although Lucius himself didn't know their exact quality.

"OK."

Having successfully diverted her beloved's attention, Pamela beamed with a wide smile...

......

"Damn it, I shouldn't have worn this ring..."

In the darkness, a lithe figure climbed the tall building, easily crossed the balcony, and placed a sparkling cat's-eye gem back on the desk.

Upon entering the police officer's room, the woman, whose keen senses detected the man's scent, trembled and blushed.

Miss Luna of the Hundred is actually Lucius's mother! And this damn gem ring even symbolizes a partner! Why did I have to stumble upon such a damn coincidence?!

Selena covered her head, forcibly suppressing the chaotic thoughts in her mind, and placed the ring in the most conspicuous position on the table.

Too many changes have happened recently, and even now, Catwoman's mind is still a complete mess.

But there was one thing she seemed to have figured out.

Lucius might not have harbored much ill will towards her. Her current wretched state was partly due to luck, and partly, it seemed, a result of some gang leader's machinations...

A flicker of hatred flashed in her bright eyes. Selena gritted her teeth and muttered through gritted teeth:

"Penguin..."

He must still have his own information. The probability that Lucius was the instigator has been greatly reduced. Unless the Penguin also doesn't have his own evidence, Lucius, the police officer, may really just be an innocent person who was dragged into the incident.

"Oh...damn it, I shouldn't have thought about that guy..."

The terrible effects of the toxic gas lingered in her mind, and Selena staggered back to the balcony, gasping for breath.

On a cold night, the mist from the girl's mouth condensed into a fine layer of water droplets on the glass.

Through the reflection in the glass, Selena could even see that guy's damn bed, and all sorts of traces of Lucius's life in the apartment.

The next second, a series of terrifying hallucinations flooded her mind, as if she were lying on that large bed, being arbitrarily abused by some evil being...

"This is insane... I have to get out of here as soon as possible."

Close her eyes to avoid looking at the bedroom that evoked her fantasies, and just as Selena was about to get up, she heard two steady footsteps beside her.

Judging from the sound and estimating the weight, it's probably a man and a woman, and they're getting closer!

With a slight blush still on her face, Selena turned around abruptly in shock:

"Fuck, why now of all times?!"

Shouldn't Lucius and Pamela be at a party or a ball right now? What's wrong with those two? They're back so soon??

"No, we absolutely cannot expose ourselves at this time."

Moving with her aching body, and haunted by the fear of the poisonous gas, Selena's movements were no longer as agile as when she arrived.

This beautiful woman, lurking in the dead of night, was like a poor cat that had climbed to a high place but could not get down on its own. She could only tremble and grit her teeth as she hid in a safe corner, waiting for herself to regain the courage to leave.

Quickly erasing all traces of her presence, Selena reluctantly left the cat's eye ring on the table again, then retreated back into the gap between the wardrobe and the ceiling, crouching in the small space to wait for everything to pass.

She desperately hoped that the two footsteps were just her imagination, but the sound of the apartment door opening shattered her last glimmer of hope...

"I remember the wine was in the fridge. Were you waiting for me here?"

Pulling Pamela to sit on the sofa, Lucius spoke with utmost gentleness, worried that the girl might be frightened by tonight's case.

"No... I still want to return the jewelry that belongs to you."

Removing the ruby ​​necklace from her chest, Pamela stepped into Lucius's bedroom...

The moment Pamela entered the room, a reminder from the green plants on the windowsill echoed in her mind.

Someone...

"girl..."

"They've hidden themselves..."

Slightly yellowing green leaves swayed in the autumn wind, and a childish voice and tense emotions flooded Pamela's mind, instantly raising her alertness to its peak!

Pamela's sharp gaze swept across the entire bedroom as she turned, her expression appearing incredibly dangerous in the moonlight!

A familiar yet terrifying pressure assaulted Selena's mind, causing her to clench her legs together as she hid behind the wardrobe, desperately resisting her fear.

"Pamela? Actually, it's okay if you don't rush to return the jewelry to me..."

A call from the living room interrupted Pamela's search.

Unable to find a partner in the living room, Lucius, carrying two glasses of red wine, followed the aroma into the bedroom.

Seeing the serious and slightly tense expression on Pamela's face, Lucius asked curiously.

"What's wrong?"

"No...it's nothing."

Forcing a smile, Pamela didn't know how to remind her sweetheart that an uninvited guest had broken into his apartment.

The girl in the long dress looked embarrassed as she leaned against the desk, unsure of how to begin.

Seeing Pamela's hesitant and conflicted expression, Lucius's brow twitched, and he suddenly recalled the scene before leaving the apartment...

"It's night now...maybe we can do something we didn't get to finish before..."

Setting down his wine glass, taking his lover's hand, and seeing two blushes suddenly appear on Pamela's face, Lucius's lips curled into a smug, mischievous smile.

"Not now..."

As her beloved drew closer, Pamela's voice became barely audible, and she even seemed to lose consciousness slightly.

Anxiety, tension, joy, sweetness...

"Why? Now you can't escape."

Lucius put his arm around Pamela's waist and gently pressed his forehead against hers.

Before leaving, Pamela seemed to want to be closer to him.

Now, the roles of offense and defense have shifted!

Ok?

wrong!!
