Chapter 012: A Place to Settle

After Wang Bo sent Leonardo flying with a single blow, he grabbed a chair bolted to the floor inside the cathedral, exerted sudden force, and wrenched it up. With a series of cracking sounds, fissures spread wildly across the floor.

Then, Wang Bo raised the bench and hurled it fiercely at the crowd.

The members of the Falcone family had just been sent sprawling by the flying Leonardo, and those who had not been hit had barely dodged when the bench came flying again like a cannonball.

This group was immediately sent flying again.

Spider-Gwen seized the opportunity, flicking a strand of web from her right hand that stuck to the bench, then spun in place, whirling the bench around like a top.

The sound of banging rang out incessantly.

One after another, members of the Falcone family were sent flying by the bench.

After Zas got up from the ground, he roared angrily, "Fall back, fall back immediately!"

The members of Falcone stepped back one after another.

Spider-Gwen saw this, stepped forward, and swung her right arm, dragging the web as she hurled the bench down hard at Zas with a whoosh.

Zas dared not meet it head-on, rolling on the ground to dodge Spider-Gwen's attack.

The bench slammed heavily onto the ground and was instantly smashed to pieces.

Zhas hurriedly stood up and was about to sprint when he suddenly heard a dull sound of something cutting through the air. He turned his head and saw a second bench hurtling toward him at an astonishing speed.

Zasi, who had not yet regained his footing, rolled forward, once again dodging the flying bench.

But the other Falcone members were not so lucky; they were knocked down and couldn't get up.

The person who threw the second bench was, naturally, Wang Bo. He had originally intended to knock the bald man directly to the ground, but he hadn't expected that bald man to be so agile.

Not bad moves.

Wang Bo praised inwardly as he casually pulled the third bench up from the ground. The screws fixed into the floor flew out like bullets, striking the wall with a bang and embedding themselves firmly into it.

What a shocking sight!

Wang Bo raised the chair, aimed it at the bald head, and smashed it down with force.

His current strength exceeded five tons. When he hurled a bench with all his might, the force was beyond imagination. A fragile human body would be injured just by grazing it, and bones would crack upon impact.

The bench cut through the air with a dull roar, like a speeding truck, its power immense.

Zas dared not be negligent; he rolled again, once more in a very awkward posture, dodging Wang Bo's attack.

But Spider-Gwen seized the opportunity. As he rolled on the ground, she instantly moved in front of him and kicked out, as if kicking a soccer ball.

Bang!

Before Zas could steady himself, Spider-Gwen kicked him away, breaking several bones in his chest, and he could no longer get up.

After dealing with the two leaders, the remaining members of the Falcone family were nothing.

Even with their utmost resistance, they were still beaten back step by step.

The enemy even used rocket launchers, but Spider-Gwen stuck a shell with her web, swung it around a few times, and hurled it back.

This move left Wang Bo stunned.

He had to admit that Spider-Gwen was indeed very formidable—experienced in dealing with this armed group, no wonder she dared to stay and tangle with the enemy.

It was truly remarkable.

A few minutes later, the two of them worked together to round up all the enemies. After the last one was kicked flying by Spider-Gwen and fell to the ground unconscious, Wang Bo returned to the cathedral, found Leonardo, and slapped him several times across the face.

"Hey, wake up." Wang Bo was very eager to know when this guy had seen through him.

Unexpectedly, Leonardo might have been too severely injured and remained unconscious. Even though Wang Bo slapped him a few times, it was to no avail.

Of course, perhaps Wang Bo had not used enough force, but he truly dared not exert too much.

Because he was truly afraid that a single slap might kill Leonardo outright.

Just then, the sound of police sirens came from outside.

Spider-Gwen said, "Hey, we should get out of here, the cops are coming."

The two of them had just been fighting fiercely with members of the Falcone family in the cathedral, using pistols and rocket launchers—did they really think the police were deaf?

Especially since this was the old city, where the Gotham Police Department headquarters was located.

That's why the police came so quickly.

Wang Bo sighed, released Leonardo, nodded at Spider-Gwen, and said, "Alright, let's get out of here."

Ever since he was nearly shot dead by Leonardo, Wang Bo knew that he could no longer return to the Falcone family. Once the Falcone family learned of his betrayal, they would surely send assassins.

Wang Bo's longed-for ordinary life was gone forever, and what followed was a life of hunting and being hunted.

Whenever he thought of this, Wang Bo felt a headache.

Heavens, can't you do me a favor and let me have a few days of peace?

Taking advantage of the fact that the police had not yet arrived, Wang Bo and Spider-Gwen smoothly left the cathedral, mingled into the crowd, and advanced along secluded alleys, quickly leaving both the cathedral and the police far behind.

The sound of the police siren gradually became almost inaudible.

The two continued on until they could no longer hear the sirens at all, then stopped.

"Where are we going now?" Wang Bo asked.

Since we've already fallen out with the Falcone family, we should find a place to hide, preferably somewhere even the Falcone family can't find.

"First, let's go to my place," Spider-Gwen said.

Wang Bo was taken aback, then immediately realized that Spider-Gwen had been in this world for some time and should already have a place of her own.

But I simply have no idea where she is staying.

Could it be at some hotel, or perhaps on Naihe Island?

Wang Bo remembered that the first time he saw Spider-Gwen was in Arkham Asylum on Naihe Island.

Thus, Spider-Gwen is very likely living on Naihe Island.

With her strength, she could easily protect herself even in the slums, and the Island of Naihe, being extremely chaotic, was indeed a perfect place to hide one's identity.

However, when Wang Bo followed Spider-Gwen to her hideout, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Because he never expected that Spider-Gwen's hideout would actually be... the Batcave!

That's right, it was Batman's future secret base, the Batcave.

This guy had already taken over the nest and settled into the Batcave. No wonder the Falcone family had been frantically searching for Spider-Gwen for a week without finding a single trace.

Because they live in the bat cave!

"By the way, how did you even find this place?" Wang Bo couldn't help but complain.
