Chapter 1542: The Dark Knight Takes the Stage, and Nightly Rounds Once More

Trish was indeed a suitable candidate, but what happened tonight had purely been happenstance.
The appearance of the Dark Knight had long been decided on.
Now that Batman couldn’t suppress the criminals anymore, the second generation master had to take the stage.
Then, when Joker started making big news, it would make sense for him to clash with the second generation master.
Both of them needed to establish their own personas first so that they wouldn’t draw suspicion when they started fighting for real.
But nothing major had happened in New York recently, and the Dark Knight didn’t have a chance to shine.
Furthermore, the personality of this second generation master was to keep a low profile. He shouldn’t squabble with the “martyred” Batman and tarnish his standing, It was a good choice to start with the media.
So, Luke made use of Trish and the hooligans to put on a brief show for the second generation master’s low-key debut, then left.
As he was thinking this, he heard footsteps.
Looking at the cupcakes he had only just started making, he put all the raw ingredients into his inventory with a thought, then took out two plates of the finished products and placed them on the table.
He was only making the cakes to relax and for show; he didn’t want to waste his precious sleep on them.
Soon, there was the sound of a key in the lock, and Caroline came in.
‘When she saw Luke, she nodded easily. “You’re not asleep?”
Luke said, “I made some cupcakes and just cleaned up. I’ll make the rest tomorrow.”
It was even more PDA.
Although she had a share in the profits from selling the cupcakes, Caroline felt it was hard to be happy.
Her roommate was sound asleep while her roommate’s boyfriend made the cupcakes.
She, on the other hand, had just come back from cleaning up. The comparison was despairing.
Luke washed his hands and said to her, “Sleep early. Good night.” He then returned to Max’s room.
Caroline sighed and pulled down her own foldable bed from the wall. Pulling shut the curtain around it, she changed.
Every time Luke said good night to her, he wouldn’t come out of Max’s room again, which meant that she could use the bathroom whenever she wanted.
Picking up her clothes, she took a deep breath and entered the bathroom.
In the room, Luke picked up some sounds with Elementary Sound Wave.
He sighed. Although the soundproofing was much better now that there was a new bathroom door, he still had a super ability.
Blocking out the sounds from the bathroom, he turned around and hugged Max. Putting his hands in the most comfortable position, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
At dinner the next day, Selina was watching a program on her tablet when she suddenly looked at Luke. “Did the Dark Knight make an appearance last night?”
Luke didn’t even need to look to know that she was watching today’s episode of Trish Talk
He nodded. “A lot of people think that Batman is dead, and that they can carry on with their illegal activities. A lot of Mexican cartels want to ship drugs into New York on a large scale and make a fortune. It makes sense for the Dark Knight to appear now.”
Selina was puzzled. “Isn’t Mexico a mess? They still have time for this?”
She naturally knew that many of the cartels had been purged, and she also knew that it was V who had done it. She also understood why a certain someone hadn’t allowed her parents to return to Mexico to visit family.
It was precisely because she had heard her mother mention it that Selina felt that the Mexican cartels should be too busy to care about anything else.
Luke shrugged. “Some of them just happened to have some goods. With the boss gone, the money for the goods is all theirs. The wholesale price in New York now is five times what it used to be. As long as they have guts and arent afraid of being crippled, it’s possible for them to make ten million from the
entire batch of goods. It would be strange if they weren’t tempted.”
Selina glanced at the blonde reporter again. Confirming that she wasn’t Luke’s type, she asked, “Then, can we go out for a round tonight?”
Luke nodded. “Okay, but don’t let Black Cat appear at the same time as the Dark Knight for now.”
Selina asked, “Why?”
Luke explained, “If Batman really is close to Black Cat, will she accept the other Batman so soon?”
Selina thought for a moment. “That’s true. It’s only been two months.”
Luke, however, added with a smile, “But Black Cat No. 1 can still go out with the Dark Knight.”
Enlightened, Selina slapped her forehead. “That’s right. Black Cat No. 1’s appearance has changed too.”
Since Luke could tur Batman into the Dark Knight, it wasn’t strange for her to turn Bastet into the remote-controlled android, Black Cat No. 1. In any case, it was just a matter of switching identities.
The two chatted and laughed as they made the decision, while the Internet exploded with activity once more.
Selina didn’t follow Trish Talk in particular, but the latest episode made news headlines, and there was a video link.
Like many people, Selina was a little confused when she saw the title, “Batman Departs, the Dark Knight Rises,” and she couldn’t help but click on it.
After all, one of Batman’s nicknames was the Dark Knight. Of course, there were also people who called him Dark Angel, Dark Demon, and Dark Devil. However, the Dark Knight was the most widely accepted nickname.
After reading the news, most people were dumbfounded. What did that mean? This “Dark Rider” wasn’t Batman?
Then, many people immediately looked at the picture, and were even more confused. Wasn’t this… Batman? At most, the armor had been modified, but the style hadn’t changed.
After reading the trending news, everybody subconsciously opened the video link on Trish Talk again.
Although the article already said that the new Dark Knight didn’t acknowledge that he was Batman, everybody still wanted to see what the original video was about.
After watching the video on Trish Talk, everybody was even more confused. It seemed… this Dark Knight didn’t intend to pass himself off as Batman, or replace him?
In front of the camera, he only said two sentences. The first was his name, and the second was, “Maybe.”
How did those long-winded keyboard warriors come up with such long analyses from these two sentences?
Just like that, before the old curiosity disappeared, new curiosity was born, and more and more online users were sucked in.
Most of them were just curious, while a small number of hardcore Batman fans accused Trish of misleading viewers with the title.
This was the only video of the Dark Knight. According to the video, this was the first time he had appeared.
Coupled with the fact that Batman had been gone for two months, many people subconsciously began to picture an inspiring movie scene of “civilians turning into heroes.
Moreover, from the grappling hook that the Dark Knight had used to leave, he clearly wasn’t as strong as Batman, who was a “god” who could glide through the air..
