Chapter 041: IOU

Wang Bo shook his head and asked, "Do you think the police would believe the words of a prisoner like me?"

Catwoman: ...

"Besides, you underestimate the League of Shadows. They have already infiltrated every aspect of Gotham City. The police are full of their people. Even telling the police would be useless."

"So, all you can think of is to rely on a playboy?" Catwoman was puzzled.

Wang Bo said meaningfully, 'You underestimate Bruce Wayne. He is no ordinary playboy.'

"I know, he's a rich playboy," Catwoman said with increasing sarcasm.

Wang Bo said, "I won't argue with you. In any case, you tell this to Bruce Wayne, and I'll give you every cent of the hundred thousand dollars."

Catwoman said, "Compared to a hundred thousand dollars, I value my own life more. Perhaps I should leave Gotham City immediately."

She wasn't just saying that; she truly meant it.

If what Wang Bo said is true, then Gotham City is in danger.

Leaving Gotham City now is undoubtedly the safest option.

Wang Bo did not blame Catwoman for backing out at the last moment; this was only human nature. He would not blame anyone; if anything, he blamed himself for not telling Bruce Wayne about this matter sooner.

In fact, Wang Bo had wanted to tell Bruce Wayne about this matter earlier, but later, due to various reasons, he ultimately never managed to bring it up.

But it's not too late to make amends now.

"You want to leave, no problem, but at least before you go, you should tell Bruce Wayne about this."

"You can call and tell him." Catwoman found a phone and tossed it to Wang Bo. "That's much more convenient than me informing Bruce Wayne."

Wang Bo then placed the phone on the coffee table. "Do you think I haven't thought of that? But I suspect the League of Shadows will be tapping Bruce Wayne's phone."

Bruce was trained by the League of Shadows' master, and with the League's resources, bugging Bruce Wayne's phone was not a difficult task.

It must be noted that in the plot, every move Bruce Wayne made upon returning to Gotham City did not escape the notice of the League of Shadows.

They even burned down Wayne Manor during Bruce Wayne's banquet.

If not for Alfred's help, Bruce Wayne would likely have been burned alive.

Wang Bo didn't want to alert the enemy by rash action.

So to be on the safe side, Wang Bo hired Catwoman.

But Catwoman was not in the mood now; she was thinking that she should leave Gotham City as soon as possible. "You can ask for help with this matter. I now..."

"Two hundred thousand US dollars."

"This is a matter of money."

"Five hundred thousand dollars," Wang Bo said. "You can get five hundred thousand dollars just by running an errand. That's a good deal, isn't it? Besides, it's no simple matter for the League of Shadows to destroy a city. After you tell Bruce Wayne about this, you'll have plenty of time to leave Gotham."

"Deal!" Catwoman's face immediately showed a hint of smug satisfaction.

Wang Bo then realized that the expression the other party had just shown was put on for his benefit, aimed at making him raise his price.

He had been tricked by the catwoman.

Sure enough, women are all born actresses.

Wang Bo said irritably, 'When do you plan to act?'

Catwoman gave a precise time. "Tomorrow morning, of course. I'll find a suitable moment to approach Bruce Wayne and tell him about this."

"Okay." Wang Bo estimated that since the Ninja Master had suffered a loss at AFO's hands and his plan had been thwarted, he probably wouldn't destroy Gotham City anytime soon.

So now is the best time for Bruce Wayne to act.

As for Wang Bo himself, he planned to slack off.

After all, he was now wanted by Gotham City, with his wanted posters plastered all over the streets and alleys, so he was simply unfit for action.

Moreover, dealing with Ra's al Ghul was originally Batman's mission.

And now Batman has Spider-Gwen by his side; if the two of them together still can't deal with Ra's al Ghul, then what more could Wang Bo say?

...

Early the next morning, Catwoman—no, it should be said Selina Kyle—put on a beautiful outfit and applied light makeup. She decided to dress herself up as a gold digger, approaching Bruce Wayne without attracting anyone's attention.

On this point, she absolutely dared not be careless.

After all, Wang Bo had said that Bruce Wayne was likely being watched by the League of Shadows.

Therefore, she had to protect herself, and a gold digger approaching Bruce Wayne would never arouse anyone's suspicion.

"Wait a moment." Just as Selina Kyle was about to leave, Wang Bo suddenly called out to her.

“Is there something you need?” Selina Kyle asked.

Wang Bo found a piece of paper and a pen on the table and wrote an IOU.

I owe Miss Selina Kyle five hundred thousand US dollars, and this debt shall be paid on my behalf by Bruce Wayne.

The signature was Ripple Qigong.

Bruce Wayne, upon seeing this IOU, would know it was Wang Bo.

After all, in this world, apart from Wang Bo, Bruce Wayne, Gwen Stacy, and the butler Alfred, no one else knows what Ripple Qigong is.

After writing this IOU, Wang Bo threw down the pen and handed the note to Selina Kyle. "Here, five hundred thousand dollars."

Selina Kyle glanced at the promissory note, did not take it, and said with a displeased expression, "Are you messing with me?"

Wang Bo said with great confidence, “I’m not playing tricks on you. You can take this IOU to Bruce Wayne right now. Trust me, he will definitely pay this debt.”

After all, the master is a wealthy man.

And Wang Bo didn't have five hundred thousand in cash on him either.

He did have a check for ten million, but the problem was that this check was from the League of Shadows, and heaven knows whether it had been frozen or not.

Moreover, given Wang Bo's current situation, he couldn't go to the bank to withdraw money either.

Moreover, the reason he wrote this IOU was precisely to force Selina Kyle to contact Bruce Wayne.

If she didn't contact Bruce Wayne, she wouldn't be able to collect the 500,000 in debt.

If she came into contact with Bruce Wayne, he would certainly ask her why Wang Bo wrote this IOU, and then Selina would naturally pass the message on to Bruce.

Wang Bo did this precisely to prevent Selina Kyle from deceiving him.

What if the other party hadn't contacted Bruce Wayne at all, just went out for a casual stroll, and then came back claiming they had already passed the message to Bruce Wayne.

Wang Bo wondered whether to believe it or not. After all, he hadn't followed Selina Kyle.

Therefore, the IOU is absolutely the best way.

Selina Kyle gave Wang Bo a skeptical look. "Are you sure Bruce Wayne will pay this debt?"

“Of course, I believe it.” After all, the master wouldn’t care about such a small amount of money.
