Super Detective in the Fictional World

had no choice but to accept it.

These paparazzi were really good.
In some of the photos, the angle made it look like Luke and Sheerah were kissing.

Coupled with that last cheek-to-cheek and Sheerah’s happy smile when they said goodbye, these photos could really paint a vivid story.

There would be no way to escape titles like “Appearance of Batman’s Underaged Love Rival” and “Sheerah Tempting a Young Sapling.”

American tabloids had played with shocking headlines like this for decades; they were proficient at it and had no boundaries.

Fortunately, Luke had chosen a public location like the lounge.
If he had gone to Sheerah’s room, just two photos of him entering and leaving the room would turn him into Sheerah’s little sex friend.

He didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.
He could only rejoice that he hadn’t driven his own car over, but a rental.

It wasn’t a big deal to go on TV, but it would be troublesome to go on TV as part of a Batman and Sheerah sex scandal.

He wasn’t a masochist and didn’t want this sin pinned on him.

After she returned home, Selina looked at Luke suspiciously.
“Did you sneak out to beat up people? Why do you look so happy?”

Luke washed his hands and made some tea before telling her what happened tonight.
He showed her the photos on the phone.

Selina examined the photos and burst out laughing.
“These guys are really good at finding angles.
Most people would think that you’re Sheerah’s boyfriend.”

Luke said helplessly, “I don’t want to be in any weird headlines, but you can’t keep down the determination of people to create news even when there is none.”

Selina tossed the phone back and took his cup for a sip of her tea.
“Don’t forget how popular Batman is now! There are too many people eyeing Sheerah.
Don’t think you’re still the same as before.”

Luke took his teacup back from her and took a sip.
“In any case, I’ve finally made arrangements for Claire.
I’ll call her tomorrow.”

Selina said, “I’ll send her a message and see if she’s asleep.”

Luke was stunned.
“It’s so late.
What else can she be doing?”

Selina sent the message.
She looked at him speechlessly for a moment before she said, “They’re having the standard get-together for the new cadets.
She’s asking if we want to go over.”

Luke said, “It’s a girls’ party.
I’m not going.”

Selina said, “There are guys and also a lot of naked dancing girls.”

Luke said, “…Do you think I’ll believe that?”

Ten minutes later, Selina narrowed her eyes and smiled at how fast Luke was driving.
“Didn’t you say that you don’t believe me?”

Luke said, “Seeing is believing.
I want to confirm it with my own eyes.”

Selina burst out laughing again.

She knew that Luke wasn’t there for the topless girls.
He was there to watch Claire.

It wasn’t an issue of trust.

Young people were impulsive and did all sorts of weird things; it wasn’t uncommon for them to lose their lives.

Luke wasn’t worried about Claire losing her life; he just wanted to see how she was doing.

If she was easily led astray, she may as well quit being a police officer and focus on her studies in university.

Twenty minutes later, Luke and Selina snuck into the party.

The party was a kilometer away from the police academy and next to a lake.
There was also a meadow and woods, and a small beach.

It was both quiet and secluded, and there was plenty of space to move around.
