Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 1541: Unexpected Incident, Part of the Plan

Translator: Henyee TranslationsEditor: Henyee Translations

The most quick-witted of the hoodlums immediately reacted.

With that white-eyed Batman just now, who would have the time to bother with a few hoodlums robbing people?

But if this woman insisted on pursuing the matter, she could use that white-eyed Batman as a selling point to get them detained for a few days or even jailed.

Thinking that, he decisively changed his tune. “Deal. However, pay up first.”

Trish scoffed. “I’m a reporter with an official job. You… Hehe, who’s more likely to go back on their word?”

That being said, she still took out her wallet from her bag. She threw two 20-dollar bills to the “smart guy” and said, “A deposit. The four of you will get 10 bucks each. After the interview, I’ll give you the rest.”

The hoodlum who had been whining earlier was dumbfounded. “Wait, what about me?”

Trish looked at him like he was an idiot. “Who told you to be the first to try and rob me? Say another word and I won’t give you any more money.”

The five hooligans immediately shut up.

They realized that they were really unlucky today.

If there had only been two of them today, they would’ve been crushed by this evil woman.

Trish was indeed a good reporter, so they trusted a little more that they would get the money.

New York reporters were known to be willing to pay for exclusive news on Batman.

Although it seemed a little silly for her to buy an interview about the white-eyed Batman for 500 dollars, they definitely wouldn’t lose out.

After leaving the five hoodlums behind, Trish immediately called the TV station.

Anyone else definitely wouldn’t be qualified to call for help in the middle of the night.

Previously, however, Trish had relied on information from a mysterious hacker to interview the woman who had framed Batman, and she successfully reversed negative opinion of black Batman online.

From then on, Trish Talk became popular with Batman fans and even more casual viewers were drawn in. Her ratings skyrocketed over ten-fold.

In the TV station, ratings were status.

Thanks to Trish Talk, Trish was now an A-list TV host, and had a show with her own name.

As long as she didn’t court death, her future was bright.

Thus, given the appearance of the “Dark Knight,” she didn’t hesitate to use her privileges to mobilize the station’s resources, and she called for help with her car at the same time.

After hanging up, she switched back to video mode on her phone and opened the video she had just recorded.

Thank you, Titanium Phone Company, for inventing a practical smartphone which functions like a camera.

She wasn’t an ordinary reporter, nor was she a cameraman; she couldn’t carry camera equipment with her all the time.

But with this Titanium phone, she could at least record news firsthand in an emergency.

From the moment she circled around this Dark Knight, she had already taken out her phone.

It would be very easy for the camera to be off-center if an ordinary person wasn’t checking the screen, or to take blurry shots.

But using the Titanium phone to capture and take covert shots was something that Trish had specially trained herself to do.

Ina seemingly normal pose, she could basically film normally.

The only downside was that there wasn’t enough light on the streets at night, so the image was somewhat indistinct.

But when the Dark Knight turned his head and those blue and white lenses flashed as he looked at her, it was very imposing.

The image on screen was reflected in Trish’s eyes. She did it! This was enough.

Nowadays, the one thing that the media and paparazzi were ridiculed the most for online was how they only had one opening shot, and made up everything else.

But this was precisely how important a picture that could instantly grab attention was.

Also, while the video was a little blurry, the audio wasn’t. This was big news!

She was already thinking about the title for tomorrow’s episode.

‘Batman Departs, the Dark Knight Is Born’? No, no, no, the word “born” was too weak.

Then change it to ‘The Dark Knight… Rises!”

Could beating up five hooligans be considered rising up? That wasn’t a problem at all.

From what the Dark Knight said, Trish could tell that this was his first time he had shown his face.

She had a feeling that this Dark Knight would take over from Batman and protect the chaotic New York City.

By then, there would be more and more news of him.

But she would definitely be the first reporter to interview someone about the Dark Knight.

Trish Talk would be the first show to release content on the Dark Knight.

More importantly, Jessica had crossed paths with Batman before, and he had even saved her.

Trish, this superhero fangirl, hadn’t been saved by any superhero; even supervillains hadn’t given her any trouble.

For a superhero fan, this supernatural luck was basically fatal.

This was New York, where big events happened.

The test subjects hadn’t shown up anywhere near her place back then, and the Chitauri fliers during the Battle of New York also didn’t go over to the building where her company was located. It had been impossible to take close-up shots.

It couldn’t be said that Trish had never seen a superhero with her own eyes.

At the very least, when Iron Man flew over New York, she could see the flames which trailed behind him. However, this was a scene that everybody in New York could see.

‘What she needed was a close personal encounter, and not to be a background extra.

‘What was even more depressing was that Jessica had the abilities to become a superhero, but she drank every day and preferred to be a P.I. who chased adulterers.

Trish had always wanted to be a superhero, to the point of training in combat and firearms for a long time, but that was not her fate.

The only time she could probably be considered one was when she helped Batman “turn things around” with that interview.

How could she tolerate that?

Today, Trish had finally broken her “curse,” and had finally met a superhero up close.

Although, it was the first time that this Dark Knight had shown up, and she had only interviewed him… for a couple of words.

But that was a huge step forward toward getting close to a superhero.

Get close, become friends, join up – that was Trish’s goal.

Elsewhere, Luke quietly returned to Max’s place.

Jumping down from the metal fence, he patted Chestnut’s big head and said via Mental Communication, “Go back to sleep,” before it obediently closed its eyes.

He took out the key to the side door, opened it, and walked in. After washing his hands, he started making cakes again.

His move today could be considered spur of the moment, but it was also part of his plan.

Trish was a friend of Jessica Jones’s and had a bit of fame in New York with her interview program, Trish Talk.

She was a neutral yellow in the system, which meant that she was at least an ordinary person with regular moral standards, and hadn’t done anything bad.

Also, she was a crazy fan of superheroes — especially of Batman and Black Cat.

Last time, he had sent Trish a file to expose the “fake slander” against Batman.

This sort of professional media reporter definitely knew how to quickly spread word of the Dark Knight’s appearance.
