Super Detective in the Fictional World

2160 Side Story: Luke’s D.C. Fantasy Journey 1

“Bruce, it’s been so long since you came to see me. Dad says you’ve been busy.” The 13-year-old girl had a pitiful expression on her face as she indirectly accused Luke of ignoring her in recent months.

Luke hugged her with a smile and rubbed her head. “Fine. What compensation does our little Morgan want?”

Morgan immediately smiled. “The highest level of armor modification training, one lesson.”

Luke glanced at the tycoon, who was already seething with jealousy. “Are you so impatient to surpass your genius father?”

Morgan giggled and didn’t forget to stick out her tongue at her bitter father.

Luke stopped teasing Tony and nodded. “Alright, let me know when you need it. I’ll arrange it for you.”

“Can we do it tomorrow?” Morgan was very enthusiastic.

Luke said, “No problem.”

Morgan cheered. “Mom is preparing snacks and black tea. I’ll get them for you.”

With that, she bounced off toward the lakeside villa.

Luke sat down and turned to look at Tony, who was still scowling. “Alright, I haven’t been here in three months. It’s normal for Morgan to miss me.”

Tony snorted and refused to continue this sour topic. “Tell me, what did you want to ask me?”

Knight had said over their private channel that he had something to ask him in person, which proved that this matter was very confidential, and it wasn’t safe to discuss it over the comms.

Luke picked up the fishing pole next to the chair and unhurriedly put the bait on before he threw out the line. “I’m looking for a contact.”

“Who?” Tony frowned.

Given his friendship with Knight, he didn’t need to be so serious when asking for someone’s contact, unless…

“That long-legged beauty called Tiana.” Luke flicked the fishing rod in his hand. “Hm, when she transformed, she was carrying a sword and shield on her back and holding a rope that glowed with golden light.”

Tony paused. “So, she’s the one you’re looking for.”

Luke nodded.

Pondering for a moment, Tony asked, “Why are you looking for her?”

Luke said, “Curiosity. Of course, I don’t mind listening to what you can tell me.”

Tony shrugged and leaned back in his chair. “Actually, I don’t really know what’s going on with her. I just saw her contact in one of my father’s notebooks.”

Luke got it. “So, it’s your father’s…”

Tony rolled his eyes. “Please, she’s old enough to be my father’s grandmother!”

Luke was amused. “Fine, my bad.”

Tony then continued, “When my father first met Tiana, he was just a teenager. It was my grandfather who took him to ‘visit’ this ‘elder’.”

At that moment, Morgan came over with black tea and snacks. “Dad, Bruce, can I pour you some tea?”

What she didn’t know was that the two cunning guys had already seen through her ploy.

Luke nodded with a smile. “Okay, thank you, little cutie.”

Morgan pouted. What cutie? That sounded so childish.

But it was Bruce who was saying it; even her father would feel helpless if Bruce called him that, let alone her.

But Bruce let her stay and listen to them, which satisfied her intense curiosity. So, he was still her good uncle.

Tony glared at Luke, but didn’t complain, or his daughter would think that he was ‘obstructing’ her.

He deliberated for a moment before he described the situation with Tiana, this ‘grandmother’ friend of the family. Some of the more sensitive details were couched in terms that only he and Knight understood.

Luke got all the info, while Morgan felt that her father wasn’t using his usual words, but she couldn’t pick out what was wrong.

All she heard was that there was a very old granny who lived away from their family, and Bruce wanted to visit her. It would be rude for him to go over rashly, so he wanted Morgan’s father to let the granny know.

Something like visiting an old fogey was a nightmare for a lively little girl. The pain was second only to her mother telling her to eat her vegetables.

So, after listening for a few minutes, Morgan found an excuse to slip away.

The two old men looked at each other and smiled.

…

A few nights later, flames streaked through the sky before dropping into the center of the Pacific Ocean.

Half an hour later, the Level 3 clone in the Knight suit emerged from the ocean and landed on a small reef ten meters above the surface of the ocean, where it waited quietly.

It was midnight. A dim yellow light lit up the ocean as it swiftly approached the reef.

Less than ten seconds later, the dim yellow light reached the reef. It was an old oil lamp hanging from the end of a narrow canoe.

There was only one valiant-looking female warrior on the canoe.

Apart from chest and skirt armor, she wasn’t covered by much else. Her exposed thighs and long arms were a healthy tan, and her muscles were smooth and beautiful.

Staring at the clone for a moment, she asked, “Who are you?”

Knight bowed slightly. “Dark Knight Bruce Bale Wayne is here to visit Lady Tiana.” As he spoke, he took out an ancient dagger.

The female warrior looked at the dagger for a moment before she nodded. “Get on the boat. However, please don’t do anything rash, or you’ll be ejected.”

“Understood.” Knight’s face, which wasn’t covered by his helmet, was very calm as he landed lightly on the canoe.

The canoe quickly turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

Sensing the fluctuations of spatial energy, the clone knew that it had entered a ‘secret realm’ of some sort.

There should be some sort of spatial magic or technology here, which had a similar effect as the Sorcerer Supreme’s three Sanctums, and could hide another space within a normal space.

Without a matching trick or method, this ‘miracle’ wouldn’t happen even if a person passed through this area a hundred times.

...

The canoe soon passed through the spatial rift, and up ahead was a huge island on a blue ocean and under a blue sky.

Under the bright sun, the golden beach really did seem to sparkle.

The lush vegetation was even greener, with buildings scattered covertly among it.

There were also a lot of people on the island, most of whom were… cultivating?

The clone paid more attention and was certain that these people were indeed cultivating, but in various ways, including hand-to-hand combat, weapons, stamina and so on.

The one thing that was interesting was that these outstanding warriors were all women, and all of them looked young. None of them looked more than 30 years old.

Of course, this was only based on the average appearance of a 30-year-old American woman.

According to the tycoon, that old lady Tiana’s appearance hadn’t changed for decades, so these female soldiers might all be ‘grandmothers.’

In the end, age aside, their powerful combat skills, beautiful wheat skin and gorgeous muscles were pleasing to the eye.

So, the clone didn’t avoid looking at the beautiful scenery.
