Chapter 026: Assisting the Investigation

Wang Bo had always believed that Gwen and Bruce, who had learned the Ripple Breathing Technique, along with Bruce's series of high-tech weapons, could retreat calmly even if they were no match for AFO.

However, as time passed minute by minute, the two still had not returned.

At first, Wang Bo could still comfort himself with excuses like 'Maybe the two of them were delayed by something.'

But when the sky began to lighten and the two still hadn't returned, Wang Bo began to grow restless.

Holy shit, could these two really have been beaten to death by AFO?

Is AFO really this strong?

Wasn't he seriously injured by All Might?

Could it be that after crossing into this world, his injuries had already healed?

Wang Bo couldn't help pacing back and forth in the Batcave, wondering whether he should go take a look himself. Although he was unwilling to deal with AFO, he really didn't want Gwen and Bruce to die like this.

Hearts are all made of flesh; these past few days getting along with Gwen and Bruce had been fairly pleasant.

If the two were really beaten to death, Wang Bo would definitely be sad.

"Please calm down, sir."

In the passage of time, Wang Bo grew anxious, but the butler Alfred remained perfectly calm. Having long weathered storms and waves, he possessed a composure that Wang Bo could hardly match.

Even though Bruce and Gwen had not returned all night, he was still not overly worried.

"Although Master Bruce and Miss Gwen have not returned all night, sometimes no news is good news, isn't it?"

Wang Bo sat back down without a word.

He had to admit that Alfred was sometimes very right.

No news is not necessarily bad news.

After another half hour, Wang Bo heard the sound of the Batmobile speeding and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Before long, a Batmobile rushed in from outside and returned to the Batcave.

The car door opened, and a disheveled Batman and Spider-Gwen stepped out of the vehicle.

It seemed the two of them had suffered quite a bit.

Part of Batman's armor was damaged.

Wang Bo couldn't help saying, "It seems the two of you encountered some tricky business last night."

Gwen said, "We saw AFO. He's using the Falcone family to create some very powerful monsters."

"Monsters?"

"Yes, it's a kind of man with an exposed brain, as huge as a dinosaur."

Wang Bo suddenly realized, "It's a Brainless!"

"Brainless?" Gwen asked. "Is that what those monsters are called?"

"That's right." Wang Bo had not expected that AFO remained in this world to create the Nomu. He told Gwen and Bruce that the Nomu were modified humans created by AFO.

The reason he created the modified humans was to counter All Might's abilities.

Wang Bo remembered that in the plot, the first Nomu to appear was quite formidable, able to completely absorb All Might's powerful shockwaves and possessing super regenerative abilities.

It was only after exchanging over three hundred blows with All Might that he was finally sent flying.

But by this time All Might was already seriously injured.

All Might once said that if it were his prime, he could take down this Nomu in about five punches.

But even so, one could still see how terrifying the Nomu was.

"So, you fought the Nomu." Wang Bo looked at the two disheveled figures and asked softly.

Gwen nodded and said, "Yes."

"How formidable are the Noumu?"

Bruce Wayne took off his damaged armor and threw it on the ground. "Seeing my armor, you should know how terrifying these Nomu are. If it weren't for this suit, I would have lost my life."

Recalling his clash with the Nomu the previous night, Bruce Wayne still felt a lingering fear.

"If I were you, I would send AFO back to his world immediately!!!" Bruce Wayne's tone was harsh. "If we let that kind of guy run rampant in Gotham City, he will destroy the entire city!"

"Bruce."

Gwen felt that Bruce Wayne's tone was a bit harsh and quickly stopped him from continuing.

Because she felt that the matter of AFO was not Wang Bo's fault.

After all, it wasn't Wang Bo who threw AFO into this world.

Wang Bo knew that Bruce Wayne might have brushed with death last night, and there was anger in his heart, so he didn't mind Bruce Wayne's tone.

But he wouldn't give Bruce Wayne the time of day either.

“When the agreed time comes, I will naturally send him back. If you feel afraid, you can ignore him. With AFO's strength, it is not enough to destroy this Gotham City. Who is the one who truly wants to destroy Gotham City? You know very well, don’t you?”

After Wang Bo finished speaking, he turned and left.

I really worried about that bastard for nothing.

After leaving Wayne Manor, Wang Bo simply left Gotham City and returned to Metropolis.

He didn't know what to say to Bruce Wayne for a moment—this guy, instead of paying attention to the ninja master who was about to destroy Gotham City, kept fixating on AFO.

Wang Bo knew that AFO was no good either.

But at least AFO had no grudge against Gotham City and wouldn't destroy it, unlike the Ninja Master, who was a man of noble ideals... destroying everything that was beyond salvation.

In his eyes, Gotham City was beyond redemption, so he wanted to destroy it.

What's more terrifying is that he already has a well-thought-out plan.

And this plan has already been put into action.

He is the true nemesis of Bruce Wayne, not some mere AFO. Even if AFO uses the Falcone family's influence to create some Nomu, so what? Would these Nomu destroy all of Gotham City?

Impossible.

But the League of Assassins, when the time is ripe, will mercilessly destroy the entire Gotham City.

Wang Bo allowed the two to deal with AFO partly because they were too stubborn, convinced that AFO would endanger all of Gotham City. He couldn't stop them even if he wanted to, so he had no choice but to let them go.

On the other hand, it was hoped that the two would back down when they saw the difficulty.

Unexpectedly, in Bruce Wayne's view, AFO would actually destroy Gotham City?

This is utter nonsense!

AFO would have to be out of his mind to destroy Gotham City.

The one who truly wants to destroy Gotham City is not AFO, but the Ninja Master!

Wang Bo had originally intended to tell Bruce Wayne about the Ninja Master's plan to destroy Gotham City, so that Bruce could prepare early, but now he saw that Bruce's entire attention was focused on AFO.

Wang Bo simply said nothing more; after the other suffered at the hands of the Ninja Master, Wang Bo would tell him then.

People are like this: they don't know pain until they fall, and they don't learn until they suffer a loss.

So Wang Bo simply ran back to Metropolis to live his own quiet life.

As for what the two of them would do from now on, Wang Bo didn't care, nor could he be bothered.

Since the two of them could escape from AFO's hands once, they could naturally escape a second time, a third time.

After all, in battle, these two would only grow stronger.

Knowing that these two would not die easily, Wang Bo naturally stopped worrying.

So Wang Bo returned to an ordinary, mundane life. Every day, besides sleeping, reading, and playing games, he would occasionally go outside for a stroll to breathe some fresh air.

Wang Bo had completely let go of the matters in Gotham City.

This time, no matter what happens, he will not leave his home.

Bang, bang, bang...

A few days later, a woman knocked on Wang Bo's door and presented him with an arrest warrant.

"Mr. Adam, we suspect you are connected to a murder case. Please come with us to assist in the investigation!"

Wang Bo: ...
