Chapter 387: Bruce Wayne’s Compromise — The Key to Homelander’s Weakness

> “One month.”

“I’m giving you only one month.”

“Don’t even think about trying to fool me.”

“Of course, if you’d rather risk Gotham’s safety… I don’t mind.”

After leaving Bruce Wayne with those cold words, Alex didn’t say another thing.

His figure blurred—

and with a boom, he was gone.

All that remained was a violent gust of wind that blasted through the Batcave.

Chapter 58: Joining the Fight

When Lucas arrived at Tony’s oceanfront mansion, even he couldn’t help but gape in awe. Sure, Lucas wasn’t short on cash these days—but compared to Tony Stark, he was practically a broke college student. The sheer scale and luxury of the place made him feel like he’d wandered into a sci-fi movie set.

Of course, that made sense—he had seen this mansion before, in the movies. Back then, it had looked cool, sure, but standing in front of it now? It was some...

Chapter 57: Tony’s Call for Help

Neither Natasha nor anyone else in S.H.I.E.L.D. had the faintest idea that sorcerers were walking right among them. Right there in New York stood one of the three Sanctums, guarded by mages of the Masters of the Mystic Arts. And in the distant stronghold of Kamar-Taj, countless more magicians had watched over Earth for thousands of years, defending it from the corruption of other-dimensional demons.

They were the true protectors of Earth. Compared to them, S.H.I.E.L...

> “Doctor, what just happened?”

The brooding Slavic man fixed Henry with a sharp, questioning stare.

> “He was running on pure adrenaline,” Henry replied calmly. “Now that it’s worn off, blacking out is perfectly normal.”

Henry pressed two fingers lightly over the man’s chest, feeling for the heartbeat, checking his breathing, then nodded.

Chapter 386: Bruce, Are You Willing to Let Gotham Bear My Wrath?

Wayne Manor.

Deep beneath it—the Batcave.

Bruce Wayne stood silently, a steaming cup of coffee in hand, watching over the shoulder of his loyal butler, Alfred.

Before them glowed a massive screen filled with scrolling data and surveillance feeds.

Tap tap tap!

Alfred’s fingers moved swiftly across the keyboard, and new information appeared on the display.

Chapter 385: Time to Collect from Bruce Wayne!

H–How… how is that even possible?!

Jaws dropped across the scene.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, as if they’d just witnessed a god descend from the sky.

Even though they had already seen Alex casually kill two of Mr. Freeze’s men with just a wave of his hand—

this?

This was on a completely different level.

An entire squad of officers had been flung five or six meters back!

The shock of that image ...

Chapter 56: S.H.I.E.L.D. Stirring Up Trouble

Nick Fury sat behind his desk, his single eye narrowed, glaring at Coulson and Natasha who sat across from him. His expression was thunderous.

“Are those damn lab geeks complete idiots?” Fury roared, slamming his palm on the desk. “They’ve got piles of data and high-definition footage right in front of them, and still not a single useful result! Instead, they’ve managed to turn half the research team into statues! What the hell are they even good for besides eati...

Chapter 55: The Birth of Quake

The surge of energy came fast — and vanished just as quickly. In only a few breaths, everything was calm again. The warehouse and the ground around it were marked with deep scorch lines, evidence of the power that had just erupted.

“Mm. Looks like it’s done.”

Lucas stretched out his senses, confirming that the surrounding energy had completely dissipated. Once certain it was safe, he darted toward the warehouse — his body flickering like he wa...

Henry swept the gold coins the Slavic man had laid on the table into his palm — but he only kept one, pushing the rest back toward their owner.

The Slavic man slipped ...

Chapter 384: Homelander: I Never Said I Was a Good Man, Did I?

Alex hesitated for only a moment before straightening up and clearing his throat.

Instantly, the entire scene fell silent.

Every reporter’s gaze locked onto him, faces lit with excitement and disbelief.

They were actually interviewing Homelander—

something no one had ever expected to happen.

It was the scoop of a lifetime.

Today was worth it.

Batman’s pupils contracted sharply, his brow furrowing in disbelief.

With Alex’s power, there was no way he should’ve been frozen so easily.

Was Mr. Freeze really that strong?

Chapter 54: Awakening of Power

When Natasha and Coulson stepped into the office, several men in black suits remained stationed outside, standing watch. Clearly, the Obelisk was far too valuable in Nick Fury’s eyes — he wasn’t about to risk it getting stolen.

“What exactly do you need this thing for?” Natasha asked, handing the black case directly to Lucas without the slightest hesitation, as though she were carrying nothing more than an ordinary briefcase. “S.H.I.E.L.D. has had entire...

Chapter 53: Skye’s Awakening Begins

The problems Tony faced weren’t massive — but to him, they were walls he couldn’t break through. After all, there’s a limit to what even a genius human can handle. No one, no matter how brilliant, could simultaneously pilot a full suit of armor, monitor every subsystem, track energy consumption, and switch weapons on the fly while dodging enemy fire.

Lucas chuckled. “Ha! That’s it? I thought it was something serious. That’s an easy fix.”

Tony blinked. He had...

Chapter 213 – Emergency Treatment

So… was this her way of telling him to buy his own freedom?

Henry wondered to himself.

It wasn’t as if offering himself up could solve the problem — if only things were ever that simple.

Or maybe she wanted to use this “debt” to control him?

Cute idea. Not gonna happen.

His eyes wandered, and he caught sight of a nearby medic making a mess of a gunshot victim — blood was gushing out in sheets. The real surgeon was bu...

Clang! Clang!

Two squads of police officers advanced slowly along the wall, riot shields raised, moving cautiously toward the front of Dearest Alice.

Just as they reached the entrance, several oddly shaped grenades were tossed out.

Kevin’s shout ripped through the air as he reacted instantly.

The officers scrambled backward at full speed.

Chapter 381: Let Gotham See the Difference Between Batman and Homelander!

“What’s wrong, Homelander?”

A woman’s intuition was always sharp — and for someone like Catwoman, it was razor-keen.

Alex had only drifted off for a moment, but she noticed immediately. Her knife paused mid-slice above her steak, and she lifted her head to look at him.

He didn’t bother hiding it. After all, he was about to handle it...

“I did some digging on you,” Tony said confidently, leaning back on the sofa like he owned the place. “An orphan from an orphanage, calls herself Skye, top-tier hacker skills… Stark Industries could really use someone like you. So, what are you waiting for?”

His tone was full of smug certainty — after all, who could possibly refuse Stark Industries?

“Hey—hey—hey! You just got back, and you’re already stirring up trouble. Now you’re...

Chapter 51: Stock Crash — Moving In for the Kill

Skye sighed helplessly and glanced at Lucas. “Aren’t we already lying around counting money? You’re basically a landlord — the rent you collect every month is no small sum.”

“That’s just pocket change,” Lucas said, stretching lazily across the sofa. “This time, we’re talking real money — the kind that piles up while you sleep. Who ever complained about having too much cash? It’s not like money bites.”

Skye rolled her eyes. Lately, Sta...

Chapter 212 – The Los Angeles Continental Hotel

The Los Angeles Continental Hotel sat downtown, between Dodger Stadium and Chinatown — one of the earliest-developed districts in the city.

Unlike the New York branch, whose distinctive flatiron silhouette had become a landmark, the L.A. Continental was far more understated in appearance.

Built around the same period — the late 19th to early 20th century — the building showcased an industrial American aesthetic: exposed steel-frame architecture and rivet...

I figured you’d last a week before trying…

But it’s only been five days.”

Alfred set his coffee cup aside and gave Bruce Wayne a helpless look.

His young master was relentless — a man who cared as little for rest as he did for pain.

Still, Alfred understood.

He had seen the toll Gotham took on Bruce — and how much of h...

“How did you do that?”

Tony asked while pulling off his dented metal helmet, his face covered in soot and sweat.

“Do what?” Lucas looked at him blankly, sitting atop a weapons crate with his greatsword resting across his knees.

“That tornado.” Tony pointed outside the cave. “I saw it with my own eyes — you waved your hand and the whole thing just… vanished.”

Lucas’s sword flashed in a brilliant arc—more than a dozen terrorists were cleaved cleanly in half. The cuts were so smooth they looked as if a master craftsman had polished them.

Without pause, he invoked Garuda’s Embrace.

Emerald talons of energy materialized out of thin air, seizing Lucas and hurling him straight into the midst of the enemy ranks.

Having both performed a play and watched one unfold, Henry sat on the floor, chuckling to himself in satisfaction. But laughter shared with no one else eventually faded; the joy ebbed away, and calm returned.

Because everyone had just discovered something that defied belief.

Lucas asked flatly, not even bothering to look up. He knew S.H.I.E.L.D. and Nick Fury far too well—their paranoia was legendary. The moment they saw something new, their first instinct was to dissect it, analyze it, and lock it away under the label of ‘classified.’

Classic persecution complex. They always thought the who...
