Chapter 116

“Boss, you’re so good.”

Su Quan reached out to pet the “cat,” and his psychic ability circled in her mind, knowing the reason why she would help.

Just like what Miranda thought, the only reason Selina would help was that she was also a Gothamite.

If Bruce Wayne hadn’t appeared, things would have just been like that.

But Batman, who had his spine broken, had returned to save Gotham, so Selina thought she could also contribute.

No matter if Gotham was destroyed in the end or not, at least she had done her part; even if she left and didn’t have the chance to come back in the future, she wouldn’t feel regret in her heart.

Speaking of which, could this be considered a tradition of Gothamites? Usually, you hit me, I hit you, and if you want to destroy Gotham, I also want to destroy Gotham.

When an outsider is really ready to destroy Gotham, they can put down their grudges and join hands to save Gotham!

“Let’s go, the second round between Bruce Wayne and Bane has started.” Su Quan opened the portal with a smile.

The two stepped in and appeared in front of a window of a house facing the street.

On the street, a chaotic battle of at least thousands of people was dazzling to look at.

Police, criminals from Blackgate Prison, were fighting each other, and it was hard to tell friend from foe.

In the crowd.

Bruce Wayne, who had returned wearing his Batman suit, was having the second battle between the two with Bane!

……

Bruce Wayne, who had gone through hardships, seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation at this time. Fighting Bane again, there was no fear in his eyes, his actions were decisive and crisp, and he was overflowing with an indescribable confidence!

I can defeat you!

That was the feeling Bruce Wayne was giving Bane now.

The pain of paralysis and the despair and powerlessness of watching Gotham head toward destruction hadn’t crushed him.

In the deep-well prison, he was cured of his spine by a doctor, recovered his state, and launched impacts toward the wellhead that represented both hope and despair time and time again.

Once, twice, he returned without success.

The third time, he gave up the rope and chose to face his fear without reservation!

He used fear to stimulate more powerful potential, overcame his fear, and climbed out of the wellhead.

From that moment on, he became fearless!

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

Bruce Wayne grabbed Bane’s shoulders and punched his face punch after punch.

Bane fought back.

The attacks that had made him unable to bear last time now seemed to become weak under his powerful willpower.

“Bang!”

Another punch.

A sizzling sound of gas escaping suddenly rang out from Bane’s breathing mask. Bane panicked and reached out to fumble, and one of the canisters on his breathing mask broke.

Bruce Wayne didn’t give him any chance to adjust his breathing mask at all, rushed up, and unleashed a storm of attacks.

Every time Bane wanted to reach out to adjust his mask, he would be quickly interrupted, and gradually, he became flustered and quickly fell into a disadvantage.

“Boom!”

Bruce Wayne kicked Bane heavily toward the City Hall behind him.

With a crisp sound, the window glass of the City Hall shattered, Bane flew directly inside, slid a few meters on the ground, and stopped when his head hit a pillar.

There were a few of Bane’s henchmen left in the City Hall; Bruce Wayne easily dealt with them and happened to see Miranda following in from the window.

Casually picking up a dagger from the ground and handing it to Miranda, Bruce Wayne said to watch this place and not let anyone in, then walked toward Bane again.

“Where is the detonator?”

Bruce Wayne had already learned Bane’s plan through Miranda and Commissioner Gordon; now what he had to do was get the detonator and prevent Bane from detonating the nuclear weapon.

“You wouldn’t give it to an ordinary person, where is it? Where is the detonator?”

Bruce Wayne questioned loudly while beating Bane.

Bane’s breathing mask was damaged even more severely; he no longer had the strength to fight back.

“Tell me where the detonator is? Then, I will allow you to die.” Looking at the dying Bane, Bruce Wayne grabbed his collar with both hands.

“I crippled you, how did you escape?”

“You think only you have the ability to escape? Where is the detonator?”

In the story Bruce Wayne knew, the child who escaped from the deep-well prison was Bane.

But in reality—

“I never escaped.” Bane said in a low voice.

“But that child, Ra’s al Ghul’s child, climbed out.” Bruce Wayne said subconsciously.

“He is not Ra’s al Ghul’s child!”

Miranda’s voice rang out behind him; he turned his head subconsciously, and immediately felt a sharp pain in his lower back.

Miranda twisted the dagger expressionlessly: “I am!”

Saying that, Miranda took out the detonator Bruce Wayne was asking about with her other hand, and under his pleading and even desperate gaze, she pressed it.

“Click!”

The detonator had no reaction, and there was no reaction outside either.

Miranda was stunned for a moment, then realized: “Gordon! You taught him how to block the detonation signal. It doesn’t matter, he let Gotham City live for 11 more minutes.”

Miranda pulled the dagger out forcefully, and amidst Bruce Wayne’s painful groans, she turned and ran out without hesitation.

Bruce Wayne wanted to chase after her, but was held by Bane, who wrapped his legs around him.

One kick, two kicks, Bruce Wayne tried to shake Bane off, but Bane held on too tightly; no matter how hard he tried, he wouldn’t let go.

Bruce Wayne could only grab Bane horizontally with both hands, enduring the sharp pain in his waist, and lifted him up.

“Bang!”

Knee raised.

Bane landed with a thud, motionless.

Earlier he was prepared to have his spine broken by Bane, and now he had broken Bane’s spine just like that!

An eye for an eye!

Bruce Wayne, panting heavily, glanced at Bane, turned around, and chased out.

“You failed.”

After Bruce Wayne left, a portal appeared out of thin air in front of Bane.

Your battle is over, it’s time for me to harvest.

Bane floated up slowly, his consciousness unclear. Su Quan raised his hand toward him and released a ball of Qi into the air.

This was the Qi of Madame Gao and the Nine-Spider Lady; among them, Madame Gao’s Qi was double, which could be used to treat other people’s injuries.

As for the effect, pulling Bane back from a near-death state shouldn’t be a problem, but wanting to completely cure his injuries would probably take a long time.

A few minutes later, Bane’s consciousness cleared.

“Tha, thank you—”

“Your injuries, we’ll treat them after everything is over.”

Su Quan stopped, casually opened a huge portal again, and then flicked his fingers gently.

A loud noise came, and several huge shipping containers flew out of the portal, lined up in a row, filling the originally empty City Hall.

“The key now is Miranda and Bruce Wayne’s scramble for the nuclear weapon; there are only a few minutes left, the people here are already irrelevant to the big picture.”

“Selina, catch all of Bane’s people and lock them in the containers.”

“Yes.”

Selina, who was beside him, quickly rushed in.

Not long after, the screams outside rang out intensely, and then she was seen shuttling through the chaos like a nimble cat, knocking out one guy after another and throwing them into the containers.

There were quite a few of Bane’s people, including the team he originally organized, criminals from Blackgate Prison, and ordinary citizens who had joined them.

All in all, thousands of them!

Just as Super Catwoman was working to catch people, Su Quan raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Bane: “Miranda lost.”
