Chapter 68 – Leo: “I hate the Joker!”

"Talk. Who are you?"

Batman's voice was flat, but the tension in his body made it obvious—he was fully prepared for combat.

After going through V's intense training, Leo had developed a bit of combat intuition.

He could see it clearly: Batman was the kind of opponent you really didn't want to mess with. Not a single opening on his body. Just standing there, he exuded a suffocating pressure.

It felt like maybe with Kerenzikov in 4th gear he could las...

Chapter 67 – Batman: “I see you.”

"Three… two… one!"

A flash of light—and Shironeko's smiling face vanished from Leo's sight.

What replaced it… was an alley—no, wait. What the hell is this!?

Leo's eyes went wide as he looked around, utterly stunned.

Wasn't it supposed to be impossible to change the return location of a dimensional jump?

He clearly remembered leaving Gotham from a small alley beside the bank. But now? This was clearly an indoor space… and the entire v...

Chapter 66 – Shironeko: “From now on, we’re no longer father and daughter…”

"Destination reached. Please take all your personal belongings with you."

Leo snapped out of his daze and looked up at the display.

Mandela—the Delamain cab's AI—wore a perfect smile on the screen:
"I wish you a pleasant life, Mr. Leonardo, our most distinguished guest. Choose Delamain, and leave your worries at the door."

"You too… catch you next time."

Leo pushed open the door and stepped onto the sidewalk.

Looking around, Little Chinatown was still th...

Chapter 65 – A Brief Farewell

As time passed, the light peeking through the curtains dimmed from glaring white to a soft amber.

When the first streaks of fire-red clouds appeared in the sky, the two finally wrapped up the day's training—reluctantly.

The real reason? Leo had hit his limit again, brought to his knees by V's iron fists.

After the bullet-dodging session, they added a new round of training—hand-to-hand combat—which completely shattered any smugness Leo still had.

That feeling… o...

Chapter 64 – The Last Day Before Departure

All afternoon, V's stockpile of rubber bullets was completely used up between the two of them.

Her old gun jammed a few times midway, but she managed to fix it herself each time.

Besides the beginner mode where she announced the shot location beforehand, Leo also went through the normal mode with no prompts, and the hard mode with rapid firing.

"So it's settled then. Once I bring the goods back, we'll go meet this priest."

"To the Big Deal!"

Leo raised his glass ...

Chapter 63 – V the Unstoppable: Die! Die!!

"Step back—further back. Don't stand near the windows. Watch the glass."

V waved her pistol excitedly, eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Leo, now "under threat," could only pace the room in search of a suitable place to die.

Eventually, he positioned himself in front of the elevator and used a random object to block the control panel.

It was an ideal spot—no furniture to damage, and it put the maximum distance between him and V, who stood by the large floor-to-ceili...

Chapter 62 – Coin Toss Game: Guess Wrong, Get a Mag Dump

It turned out Leo was absolutely right.

V the Unstoppable might really be a different species compared to ordinary humans.

After nearly two hours of surgery, her eyes popped open—and she stood up on her own.

"Hang on a bit, I'll get your meds ready. Won't take long."

Twenty minutes later, each of them had three vials in hand.

"Same as always—red cap is a flexible stimulant, blue is for pain and inflammation. This pneumatic injector contains ...

Chapter 61 – V the Overclocked (爆改V震天)

"Don't panic. That's a normal response after installing the Kerenzikov," Vik explained as he operated the console swiftly.

"This continuously active implant boosts your reflexes, but the side effect is—you see everything in slow motion, like you've stepped into a time-dilated world."

He tapped on a few icons.

"Everything looks good. Hold on… Okay, I've installed the Kerenzikov control software. Can you see it?"

 Chapter 60 – Mechanical Ascension II: Its Name is Kerenzikov!

As soon as the words left his mouth, both Vik and V turned to look at him.

Leo himself felt a little awkward—first time meeting Vik, he borrowed money; second time meeting him… he was borrowing money again. The air of cool competence he'd worked so hard to maintain was about to come crashing down.

"Wait… all these past few days, you were spending like a maniac! I thought you were rich! How are you broke already?!"

V was the first to cry out in disbelief.

Thinking...

Chapter 59 – Cyberware Potential

"Hello, Dr. Viktor. I've heard about you from others—they say you're an incredible medic and a former boxing champ."

It was V's first real experience with the six degrees of separation.

She'd only known Leo and Jack for three days, and already people were saying, "I've heard about you." It was… a pretty surreal feeling.

Viktor casually tossed his towel onto the table and chuckled. "Just call me Vik, kid. My glory days are long behind me."

It had been a lon...

Chapter 58 – Seeing Viktor Again

Back at the apartment, Leo wasted no time—he suited up in protective gear and launched straight into training.

For four full hours, he used every part of his body to attack V's fists with all his might, trading hundreds of blows.

By the time they called it quits, even the invincible V was panting hard.

Of course, the price was steep—Leo himself lay sprawled on the floor like overcooked noodles, limp and lifeless.

"Anyone watching this would think we had some deep g...

Chapter 56 – Goodwill from Kangtao

The answer revealed itself quickly—yes, the visitor was from Kangtao.

[Father, based on data analysis, the man in front of you is most likely an official Kangtao employee.]

Leo patted V and Jack on the shoulder and stepped forward to face the imposing-looking bodyguard directly.

"Well, since someone's invited me, I'll go take a look. Clients are always welcome, and if it's a peer, even better. Let's call it... professional networking."

The b...

Chapter 55 – Cantonese? A Guest from Kangtao?

A few bottles of cola later, the atmosphere among the group had settled nicely.

The new member Sasha seemed rather introverted and reserved, not quite warmed up to the group yet. Most of the time, she only responded if someone asked her a direct question.

Once the basic introductions were over, Leo rubbed his chin and announced the start of their first roundtable meeting.

"Since everyone's here, let me go over something. In about three days..."
