Chapter 19 - Brokeback Battle

"What happens between us can't be known by others, or it will affect my star career."

"Did you do something to me? Why is my mind full of you after I left?"

"So, what is our relationship now?"

Listening to Xue Xi's questions one after another, Connors lowered his head and said:

"Don't talk, keep eating."

When he saw Xue Xi poking her head out on the roof, he knew he couldn't escape this time, so he had to go upstairs and do it first.

The eastern sky gradually turned white, and the two who had eaten and drunk their fill sat on the chairs made by Connors with the Green and no longer moved.

"The solid ice at the Stadium during the day was your doing, right?" Connors asked.

He was asking the obvious. The Stadium was inexplicably covered with solid ice during the day. In Gotham, besides Mr. Freeze, Xue Xi was the most suspicious person with such abilities.

It has been almost confirmed that Xue Xi is a character from Marvel, and Ice Moon Flower Snow is her hero name, which is obviously related to ice and snow.

More importantly, during the fierce battle between the two just now, Xue Xi displayed a dual ice ability that he had never experienced before…

"Yes, it was me." Xue Xi, who hadn't eaten, looked like a silly sweet girl. Facing Connors's question, she admitted it directly.

"What are you doing in Gotham?" Connors asked instinctively out of curiosity.

"Holding a concert, what else could I do? But the public order here in Gotham doesn't seem very good. I encountered all sorts of things just one day after the concert started."

Xue Xi recalled the Poison Ivy she encountered during the day who left her powerless to fight back. A hint of fear flashed in her heart, but she didn't take the matter of the Penguin leading his gang members to bomb with gunfire seriously.

"You're wrong," Connors corrected. "Actually, the public order here is quite good. There's a local saying, 'Gotham City is simple and honest, Arkham is full of talented people.'"

The silly sweet Xue Xi was stunned by his words.

"Okay, I won't talk about these things with you anymore. I have a request, I wonder if you can agree?" Connors said.

"What request?"

"Let me be a kept man."

Xue Xi's eyes lit up:

"Okay! Being a kept man is good, tell me, how do you want to do it?"

As she spoke, she had already half-closed her eyes.

There is no word 'kept man' in Gotham. Did she understand it as something R-rated… Connors covered Xue Xi's mouth with his hand and said seriously:

"I need to borrow a car from you."

The sedan car snatched by Harley Quinn was hoisted into the sky by Silk Cindy Moon, so it could only be abandoned.

Connors's travel these past few days was either Cindy dragging him to fly in the sky, or relying on his own two legs to walk.

Gotham is so big, it would take him forever to walk to Wayne Manor!

...

Bruce Wayne stumbled out from the edge of the Gotham Forest and got into his batmobile.

"Cough… cough cough!"

Extremely uncomfortable coughs came from his mouth, and his whole body was weak and powerless. It took him a while to recover, and while coughing, he drove towards Wayne Manor.

According to the butler Alfred's information, after Poison Ivy came to Gotham City, she took Harley Quinn back to the forest.

Batman didn't want to delay asking Poison Ivy if Connors's ability was related to her, so he drove the batmobile directly here.

However, while the usual Poison Ivy was cold, she was willing to say a few words to her old opponent Batman. This time, she didn't know what happened and directly chose to refuse to see him.

Not only did Batman get the cold shoulder, but when he planned to force his way in, she even released a large amount of toxic spores, making his body extremely weak.

"The path through Ivy is not working, I have to think of another way…"

Batman hadn't driven far when he already had his next plan in mind.

The batmobile naturally couldn't enter through the main gate of Wayne Manor, which would undoubtedly announce to Gotham City that "Batman is Wayne".

The entrance is in a lake a few kilometers away from Wayne Manor. This is part of the Wayne Group's territory, and a large area around it is private property, with an electronic barrier set up to ensure that no one can detect the entrance here.

But today, while coughing, Batman discovered an alarm from the entrance in the car.

Even when sick, the naturally cautious Batman didn't plan to take risks and immediately prepared to go to another entrance located on the mountain.

His current physical condition is not good, and he must quickly return to the Batcave for treatment.

But before his car could start again, the batmobile was lifted into the air by a violent explosion.

"Cough cough…" He started coughing again, unable to control the batmobile that was constantly rolling in mid-air for a while, letting it fall heavily to the ground.

Then the sound of a bracket being installed was heard, and Bruce Wayne saw a portable window breaker modified from an impact pile being placed outside the batmobile, and then the car window glass began to receive round after round of impacts.

Bang!

"Cough…"

Bang!

"Damn it, the button is malfunctioning…"

Bang!

Bruce Wayne in the batmobile forced himself to calm down, took out a sedative and injected it into his arm, tried the batmobile again, and after finding that it was completely stalled, he took a deep breath.

Waiting for death is not his character. Even though his current physical condition is not good, he still chose to meet the attack head-on.

Click!

Above the batmobile, a hidden exit was quickly opened, and Batman stood on the roof of the car from inside.

At this time, he finally discovered who the guy who attacked him was.

Several chemical tubes extended from his back to the back of his head, and his extremely developed muscles were almost deformed. Just standing there was like a mountain of flesh, full of pressure.

He wore a black-rimmed white mask on his face, and his eyes were red. It was Batman's old opponent, Bane!

As soon as Batman stood firm, Bane's punch came with the sound of wind.

It was a powerful blow that even Batman in good physical condition could not take head-on, let alone now, so he could only dodge first.

But halfway through dodging, his body started to feel uncomfortable again, and he couldn't help but start coughing again.

One punch, two punches, three punches!

Batman didn't dodge any of Bane's attacks and took three punches head-on, but his physical weakness also reached an all-time low.

And Bane seemed to want to kill him, grabbing the fallen Batman by one leg and the neck with the other hand and lifting him up, then slamming him violently to the ground, while simultaneously raising his right knee sharply.

Crack!

Bane broke Batman's spine.

...

The roar of an engine sounded in the hotel's underground parking garage. A muscle car turned on its headlights and sped towards Wayne Manor with the roar of the engine.

After paying the price for being a kept man, Connors finally drove wildly, followed by a long line of police cars wailing "woo ah woo ah" behind him.

His driving skills were not great, but relying on his master-level Little Trick, he easily got rid of these police cars and finally arrived at the location of Wayne Manor.

But as soon as he got out of the car, his Spider-Sense detected something was wrong. A fierce battle was happening a few miles away.

When he rushed over, he just happened to see Bane lifting Batman, looking like he was going to break Batman in half.
