"What happens between us cannot be known to others; otherwise, it will affect my career."
"Did you do anything to me? Why are you all I can think about after you left?"
"So, what is our relationship now?"
Listening to Seol Hee's rapid-fire questions, Connors lowered his head and said, "Don't talk; just keep eating."
When he saw Seol Hee leaning out on the roof, he knew he couldn't escape this time, so he had to go upstairs and "Eat first to show his respect."
The eastern sky gradually turned pale, and the two, having satisfied their appetites, sat on chairs Connors had fashioned using his Green of All Things ability, unmoving.
"You're the one who created the solid ice in the stadium earlier today, right?" Connors asked. He knew the answer, of course. The stadium was inexplicably covered in ice.
Besides Mr. Freeze, Seol Hee was the most suspicious person in Gotham with such an ability. It was almost confirmed that Seol Hee was a Marvel character; Luna Snow was her heroic title, obviously related to ice and snow.
More importantly, in their recent "battle," Seol Hee had revealed two levels of ice and snow power he'd never before experienced.
"Yes, it's me," Seol Hee, appearing somewhat naive, admitted directly to Connors's question.
"What are you doing in Gotham?" Connors asked instinctively, out of curiosity.
"Holding a concert, what else? But the security here in Gotham doesn't seem very good. We encountered all sorts of things just one day after the concert." Seol Hee thought of Poison Ivy, who had left her powerless to fight back earlier, and a trace of fear flashed through her heart.
She didn't dwell on Penguin and his gang bombarding the stadium with guns.
"You're wrong," Connors corrected. "In fact, the security here is quite good. There's a local saying, 'Gotham City has simple folks, while Arkham is home to many talented people.'" The naive Seol Hee was momentarily stunned by his amusing remarks.
"Okay, I won't talk to you about this anymore. I have a request, and I wonder if you can agree to it?" Connors said.
"What request?"
"Let me eat your soft rice." (TN/ It is slang for being financially supported by a woman.)
Seol Hee's eyes lit up: "Okay! Eating my soft rice is fine. Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?" As she spoke, her eyes were already half-closed.
There's no meaning for eating soft rice here, so she must have misunderstood it as something more intimate… Connors covered Seol Hee's mouth with his hand and said seriously, "I want to borrow a car from you."
The car Harley Quinn had stolen was suspended in the sky by Cindy, so it had to be abandoned. When Connors traveled these days, he either flew with Cindy or walked. Gotham was so big; it would take him a long time to reach Wayne Manor.
___________
Bruce Wayne staggered out from the edge of Gotham Forest and into his Batmobile.
"Cough… cough cough!" Extremely uncomfortable coughs erupted from his mouth.
His whole body felt weak and powerless. It took him a long time to recover his strength. He drove toward Wayne Manor while coughing.
According to information from Alfred, after Poison Ivy came to Gotham City, she took Harley Quinn back to the forest.
Batman didn't want to delay finding Poison Ivy to ascertain if Connors's abilities were related to her, so he drove the Batmobile directly there.
However, while Poison Ivy had maintained a cold demeanor in the past, she had usually been willing to exchange a few words with her old rival, Batman.
This time, for reasons unknown, she simply chose to avoid him entirely. Not only did she shut out Batman, but even when he tried to force his way in, she released a large amount of poisonous spores, leaving his body severely weakened.
"The route through Ivy's territory isn't feasible; I have to think of another way…" Batman hadn't driven far when a new plan began to form in his mind.
Of course, the Batmobile couldn't enter through the main gate of Wayne Manor, as this would undoubtedly announce to Gotham City that "Batman is Wayne." The entrance was in a lake a few kilometers from Wayne Manor, a private territory of Wayne Enterprises.
A large surrounding area was private, and electronic barriers had been set up to ensure no one could detect the hidden entrance.
But today, Batman coughed and noticed an alarm from the entrance system in the car.
Even though he was ill, the vigilant Batman didn't intend to take any risks and immediately prepared to go to another entrance on the mountain. He was in poor health and needed to return to the Batcave for treatment.
But before his car could start again, the Batmobile was blasted into the sky by a violent explosion.
"Cough cough…" He started coughing again, and for a moment he was unable to control the Batmobile, which was tumbling in the air, allowing it to fall heavily to the ground.
Then the sound of an installation bracket was heard, and Bruce Wayne saw a portable window breaker, made from an impact pile, placed outside the Batmobile, and then the car windows began to receive rounds of impact.
Bang!
"Cough…"
Bang!
"Damn, the button isn't working…"
Bang!
Bruce Wayne in the Batmobile forced himself to calm down, took out a sedative and injected it into his arm.
He tried the Batmobile again, and when he found that it was completely stalled, he took a deep breath. It wasn't his character to sit and wait for death. Even though he was in poor physical condition, he still chose to take the initiative to fight.
Snap!
A secret exit above the Batmobile was quickly opened, and Batman stepped out of the car and stood on the roof. At this time, he finally found out who the guy who attacked him was.
Several chemical tubes extended from his back to the back of his head. His muscles were so developed they were almost deformed.
Just standing there, he looked like a mountain of flesh, exuding immense oppression. He wore a white mask with black edges on his face, and his eyes were red. It was Batman's old rival, Bane!
As soon as Batman stood firm, Bane's punch came toward him with the sound of wind. The blow was so powerful that even Batman, in good physical condition, could not take it head-on, let alone now.
He could only dodge. But halfway through his evasion, he began to feel uncomfortable again and couldn't help but start coughing.
One punch, two punches, three punches! Batman didn't dodge Bane's attack at all and took three punches head-on, but his physical weakness had reached its lowest point ever.
Bane seemed determined to kill Batman. He grabbed Batman's legs with one hand and his neck with the other, lifted him up, and then threw him to the ground, simultaneously raising his right knee.
Snap!
Bane broke Batman's back.
______________
The sound of an engine roared from the hotel's underground garage. A muscle car turned on its headlights and drove straight to Wayne Manor with the roar of its engine.
Connors finally drove away at full speed, with a long line of police cars following him, sirens wailing.
His driving skills weren't great, but with the help of his Master of Minor Tricks ability, he got rid of the police cars without much difficulty and finally arrived at Wayne Manor.
But as soon as he got out of the car, his Spider-Sense detected something amiss.
A major battle was taking place a few miles away. When he hurried over, he happened to see Bane lifting Batman up, looking as if he was going to break Batman in half.
