It only took them half an hour to eat and chat, and the two women had to go back to work.
However, they could only work in the afternoon at most, or they might die from overwork.
Overall, the situation wasn't bad.
The situation in New York was rather chaotic, but it wasn't to the point of a major riot.
It had to be said that lowering one's phone really reduced the urge to cause trouble on the streets.
With Batman in the headlines, Catwoman also managed to squeeze into the top five of the trending news, becoming a hot topic.
In the past, Selina had been too obsessed with beating up hooligans and bigshots, and was as infamous as Batman among the gangs and the hooligans.
But when she saved ordinary people, she didn't leave a trace, and was rarely photographed.
After all, she wasn't a certain drama queen who was obsessed with acting, and wasn't very interested in building up her reputation.
However, there were plenty of pictures and videos of her killing the dead and protecting the people.
It spread like wildfire on the Internet as soon as it appeared.
Unlike Sheerah, who was a "suspected girlfriend," the black catgirl had clear evidence that she was in cahoots with Batman, or at the very least, Batman's close partner.
Also, she was the first female superhero, and was in line with Batman's style – she liked to save people, not kill them, and would at most cause some bone injuries.
Even the armor she wore matched Batman's, and they appeared at the same time.
Many hooligans who had been beaten up before even spoke out, saying that they had been beaten up by Batman and the black catgirl together.
Luke had nothing to say about this kind of behavior.
In the United States, many people were willing to play the role of a villain in order to become a hot topic in the news. They had the attitude of "if you don't leave your name in history, you'll go down in infamy for thousands of years".
This news made everyone curious about the black catgirl.
After all, it was a little boring to hype up the Bat-Iron couple. Now that a ready-made target had appeared, it would be a waste not to hype it up.
The media and the public paid more attention to the Bat-Cat couple, but more organizations became wary.
That was because Batman, a lone ranger, was getting stronger and stronger.
This strength didn't just come from him, but also from Iron Man, who clearly had an unusual relationship with him, and his hardcore partner, the black catgirl.
Batman, who was strong in himself, his partner, and his allies, was no longer as harmless as when he first appeared.
Even though it was common knowledge that Batman didn't do bad things, and even most criminals and villains admitted this, only those who didn't go to prison were called villains.
Few of the big shots in all walks of life were clean. What if they ran into Batman one day?
In particular, some secret agencies had committed numerous crimes. Once they were discovered by Batman, their members would not be able to escape the fate of powder fractures.
Batman was already a threat to them.
For a time, the multifaceted system collected a large amount of information on potential enemies.
These people more or less used their phones and the Internet to communicate with the outside world, clearly showing their wariness and even hostility towards Batman.
In New York City, intelligence agents from many agencies and departments appeared.
They were looking for clues everywhere, trying every possible way to dig out Batman.
On the other hand, S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't get involved in this matter.
This was because most of their attention was focused on another unknown but even more terrifying target — a mysterious person wearing a black and white skull mask and black and white armor.
Compared with Batman and the black catgirl, who abided by the "no killing rule," this mysterious person, who was completely unpredictable and unrestrained, was even more dangerous.
Some of the information shared by RIPD proved that this mysterious black-and-white face had killed nearly a thousand ghosts in a few minutes with a single blow, and the ghosts hadn't been able to fight back at all.
After RIPD revealed this information, they also asked S.H.I.E.L.D. to share it immediately if they found any traces of this person.
It was clear that RIPD wasn't looking for this person for a simple reason. It definitely wasn't because he was good at killing ghosts.
RIPD was a professional at cleaning up ghosts, and no matter how strong the mysterious black-and-white face was, he couldn't compare to RIPD, which had a large number of people.
But there was no way to ask. The dead horse faces of RIPD's upper echelons … couldn't even be seen. At most, they would contact him by phone and say a few cold words.
Thus, S.H.I.E.L.D. had some guesses, but didn't get much information from RIPD.
The real first-hand information … was actually second-hand.
Phil had obtained the video that Luke had turned in from NYPD. This was the only high-definition video of the mysterious black-and-white face, and it contained the complete footage of him killing dozens of mercenaries.
After watching the video, Phil quickly took it away, including the original one that Luke had. He also had NYPD sign a confidentiality agreement with the person who had handled the video.
An extraordinary existence who had killed more than two hundred mercenaries alone was too dangerous.
When he saw Luke telling the man to surrender, Phil almost wanted to curse. Are you an idiot? Can't you just pretend you didn't see such a person? How much is NYPD paying you? Why the hell are you working for them?
The veteran agent cursing in his heart didn't consider that S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't pay him much either.
He also didn't know that someone was a detective on the surface, but secretly … a big shot who loved performing.
But even though he was so busy that his hairline moved up by another 0.5 millimeters, Phil still took the time to personally get Luke to sign the confidentiality agreement, and clearly warned him not to get involved in such dangerous matters.
He had to be more cautious about foolishly coming into direct contact with people with superpowers.
Luke was lost for words. Didn't I only say that to you once?! Now, he was actually giving it all back to him.
But just like how Phil couldn't dislike Batman's reminder, Luke couldn't express his dissatisfaction with Phil's two reminders. In the end, he could only nod and mutter a few words.
It would be strange if the days went on peacefully.
The ruckus caused by the dead successfully made the NYPD commissioner nervous again.
Even if he was paid overtime this time, he had to make the officers work overtime.
But a lot of people were already snickering.
The commissioner really wasn't on his side this time. He had encountered something as bizarre as the dead causing trouble, but there was no precedent. Thus, he could only blame it on him.
Oftentimes, it wasn't because the person did something wrong, but because they happened to be the most suitable person.
Dustin had already told them in private that Deputy Commissioner Brad was already working hard and had a good chance of being promoted.
Luke could only chuckle at that. In the end, for Dustin's sake, he reminded the commissioner not to be too optimistic about what would happen after Brad took over.
The appearance of superheroes and supervillains would only give NYPD's higher-ups a headache.
Dustin, on the other hand, was very calm. He only said, "Do you think anyone can resist fighting for a seat there?"
Luke was lost for words.
Humans died for money, and birds died for food. For many people, power was no less tempting than money.
