Chapter 037: Unexpected Encounter

Things did not go as smoothly as Wang Bo had imagined; he wanted to hide in the dark alley until nightfall.

But he underestimated modern technology.

Or rather, he had underestimated the power of the surveillance cameras on the streets.

After more than an hour, Wang Bo heard the sound of police sirens coming from all directions; the police seemed to have locked onto his current location.

When Wang Bo heard the police siren getting closer and closer to him, he knew he might have been exposed.

The police had already locked onto his location.

That was too fast.

Wang Bo was extremely astonished, feeling that he had underestimated the Gotham City police. Though corrupt, they were not incompetent.

But Wang Bo had no intention of getting into a conflict with the police here.

If he were caught in a concentrated barrage of heavy firepower, even he would have to kneel.

Wang Bo pricked up his ears. Hearing the footsteps drawing nearer to his hiding place, he made up his mind. He bent his legs, channeled Ripple Qi to strengthen his body, and suddenly leaped up from the ground.

Whoosh!

The next second, Wang Bo's body shot up more than ten meters into the air like a rocket, his five fingers like sharp steel easily piercing into the wall, smoothly securing himself midair.

Then, Wang Bo alternated his hands, his ten fingers sinking into the wall as if into tofu, and moved swiftly upward. In just a few blinks, he had climbed to the top of the building.

At this moment, the police surrounding the alley had not yet noticed that Wang Bo had already left.

They were still cautiously moving toward the alley, attempting to capture Wang Bo.

After climbing onto the rooftop, Wang Bo spread his legs and ran with all his might. In a flash, he dashed to the edge of the building, leaped into the air, and after flying across a distance of over ten meters, landed on top of another building.

Wang Bo rolled on the ground to absorb the impact, then scrambled to his feet and continued running.

In the blink of an eye, he had rushed to the edge of this building, and then leaped once more, flying toward the building opposite.

With his current strength, he could leap across not only a width of ten-plus meters but even a distance of several tens of meters in a single bound.

Relying on his extraordinary leaping ability, Wang Bo moved from one building to another.

After more than ten minutes, he had left the police far behind.

Wang Bo sprinted all the way, making several turns along the way. After leaping across dozens of buildings, he was sure the police could no longer catch up. He found a spot on the roof of a building and plopped down.

He lifted his head, looked at the sun hanging high in the sky, and spread his body into a big '大' (the Chinese character for 'big') shape, lying on the ground to soak up the sunlight.

To be honest, Wang Bo now desperately wished he could awaken Superman's ability to fly.

If he could fly, he wouldn't have to worry about the police at all.

Perhaps he had already flown abroad long ago.

The United States may be formidable, but it is only formidable on its own soil. Once abroad, its power weakens to the extreme.

Especially in Wang Bo's country.

Unfortunately, Wang Bo was too weak now. Not to mention flying, he hadn't even awakened any of Superman's other superpowers. To awaken Superman's other superpowers would undoubtedly be a long and arduous journey.

After Wang Bo escaped this time, he completely shook off the police.

By nightfall, the police still hadn't caught up.

When the sun fell, the moon rose, and the stars dotted the sky, Wang Bo continued moving across the building.

He had already thought of a good place to hide himself.

The Falcone family.

He had clashed with the Falcone family, a fact that the Ninja Master also knew, but the Ninja Master was unaware of his true relationship with AFO, the new head of the Falcone family.

So Wang Bo planned to exploit this blind spot and temporarily reside with the Falcone family.

Wang Bo believed that AFO would give him face.

Wang Bo raced along, leaping from the edge of the building, soaring over a distance of more than twenty meters, and flying toward the rooftop of the opposite building.

But just then, a figure suddenly pushed open the door to the rooftop and stepped out onto it.

Wang Bo's heart leaped, because the position where the other person stood happened to be his landing spot.

"Get out of the way!" Wang Bo shouted, at the same time adjusting his posture in midair, hoping to avoid the other person.

What frustrated Wang Bo, however, was that upon hearing his voice, the other party instinctively stepped back a few paces.

At the same time, Wang Bo also changed his place of stay.

The two of them still collided helplessly. Wang Bo only felt himself crashing into a soft body; the tremendous impact sent them both tumbling, rolling into a tangled heap.

But for Wang Bo, who possessed a body of steel, this impact was nothing.

To protect the other person, Wang Bo instinctively held them tight, wrapping one arm around their waist and covering the back of their head with his other hand to prevent a secondary impact.

The two of them rolled all the way to the edge of the rooftop, crashing into the railing before finally coming to a stop.

Wang Bo let out a breath, then lowered his head to observe the woman held in his arms.

Yes, the moment he collided with the other person's body, Wang Bo knew that the other person was female.

But when Wang Bo saw her outfit by the moonlight, he couldn't help but pause. It was a woman wearing a black bodysuit and a mask.

This outfit was far too famous in the world of Batman. Just like Spider-Gwen's costume, it was very easy to recognize.

Especially when Wang Bo saw that some jewelry and diamonds seemed to be spilling out of the other person's pocket due to the impact.

"I know you! You're a cat woman," Wang Bo said.

Catwoman was knocked dizzy by Wang Bo's collision. She didn't have Wang Bo's steel-like body, but fortunately she exercised regularly and had a physique beyond ordinary people. Protected by Wang Bo from a secondary impact, she quickly recovered from her dizziness.

Catwoman heard Wang Bo's voice and couldn't help but curl her lips. “A lot of people know me,” she said. “There's nothing strange about that. Also, how long do you plan on holding me?”

Catwoman frowned, seeming somewhat angry.

Wang Bo noticed this and felt a bit awkward. He quickly released Catwoman and stood up. He hadn't expected to run into her here—Batman's love interest. But for now, it seemed the two of them didn't know each other yet.

Instead, it was he who had gotten to know Catwoman first.

After standing up, Catwoman picked up the jewels and diamonds scattered on the ground and stuffed them back into her pocket.

"Mr. Adam, tonight, I'll pretend I never saw you, and you never saw me. How about that?"

It was clear that she had already recognized Wang Bo.

But Wang Bo was not surprised; after all, that morning he had been wanted by the entire city, with the wanted notice broadcast on television throughout every street and alley. Now that he hadn't disguised himself, it was only natural for Catwoman to recognize him.
