Starting from scratch, Batman crushed my dream of getting rich

Chapter 412 already said that they have brains.
"Mick! We can't kill people!"

"Stay away from them!"

Just a second before the Rutherwells were about to be roasted to a crisp by the intense heat, Snart's voice rang out simultaneously with a young voice.

hum-

An invisible high-frequency sound wave ripped through the night sky, followed by a sharp explosion. Mick's body was suddenly sent flying—and flying with him was Shawna, who had just teleported behind him.

"I said, stay away from your parents!"

A figure dressed in a green robe and hood suddenly emerged from the darkness. When he looked up, the Ruswells recognized him by the light of the blazing fire on the ground.

"Hartley?!"

"son?!"

The first sentence refers to Lasserway's father, and the second sentence refers to Lasserway's mother.

"A generous gift—Rasher?! Why is he here?"

"What the heck?" Ma Zhaodi asked. "Do you know him? This guy looks a lot like Harry Potter. I feel like he's as handsome as Barry and Snoop. He's way too good-looking."

“I know him so well that I had nightmares every night when I first came to the lab about him saying sarcastic and cutting things.”

"Then he'd have to have a really sharp tongue."

"Can you two at least worry about me first?" Shauna staggered to her feet. "We're teammates, for goodness' sake!"

"You should get out of here first. There are three supervillains fighting right now. I'm afraid you might get killed by the aftershocks."

As soon as Ma Zhaodi finished speaking, Xiao Nazhen immediately withdrew from the battlefield, appearing beside the two: "I can't take it anymore. That bastard hit me with something, and now my whole body aches."

"If I'm not mistaken," Dr. Wells suddenly spoke in the team channel, "it's probably a sound wave."

“Dr. Wells?” Cisco exclaimed in surprise. “Have you been listening to the audio from the scene the whole time?”

“I wasn’t planning on listening,” Wells replied, “but considering that I was the first person Hartley visited last night, I think it’s necessary to keep an eye on his parents’ situation.”

"Yesterday? The person who attacked your house and destroyed all the glass ceilings was Hartley?!"

“Without a doubt, he’s good at this,” Wells replied. “He’s a genius and knows a lot about sound waves, but when he was in the lab, he hadn’t thought of developing it into a weapon.”

“Barry said that my glass broke without any point of impact, not from a heavy or hard object breaking the surface from any point, but from a very even break. That’s when I thought of Hartley, but I’ve been busy lately and didn’t want to distract you.”

"Are you sure you're not intentionally protecting him?" Cisco retorted, a rare occurrence for him. "Anyway, he's always been your favorite disciple—"

“Cisco, don’t get emotional right now,” Wells said calmly. “I like Hartley because he is truly talented and exceptionally intelligent; he is a genius no less than you.”

It's hard to say who this was a compliment to, but Cisco seemed to fall for it; after the doctor said that, he fell silent.

"Now, let's describe the situation on the ground first?"

"Well, it's obvious to the naked eye that Hartley is trying to protect his parents, and the weapon he's using is strange—a pair of mechanical gloves that are glowing green."

“The gloves are just a facade. Hartley’s weapon is sound waves, and the gloves will only be used to emit sound waves,” Wells replied. “Unless he himself undergoes a mutation that gives him the superpower to directly emit sound waves, he will lose his fighting ability if he takes off the gloves.”

"So right now, it's three ordinary people fighting with three high-tech weapons?" Xiao Na grimaced and rubbed her lower back, saying softly, "Thank you so much. I immediately feel much less pressure, and even my back doesn't hurt anymore."

"Stop making sarcastic remarks. All three of them are already wary of you." Ma Zhaodi sighed and replied in a low voice, "Entering now would be a sure way to get yourself killed." "I can give it a try."

"Don't go. The asbestos protective suit is so thick, it doesn't conduct electricity, and even a needle can't get through. You'll be completely blocked."

“Nahartley—”

"Sonic attacks are area-of-effect (AOE), covering a wide area. If you're caught while teleporting, you're dead."

"Nasnat can always—"

"He's smart."

So what if I have a brain? I have a brain too!

Xiao Na's competitive spirit surged up instantly. Although, according to Lao Ma, the other two were indeed quite restrained, the Freeze Gun and Teleportation were not much different in terms of strength. How could she possibly lose if she took the initiative?

Believing she had found a breakthrough, Shawna immediately launched her attack.

Her figure vanished from her spot in a flash, then reappeared to Snatt's left rear, but the oncoming beam of the freezing gun stunned her instantly.

"Why--"

Before she could finish speaking, Shawna was frozen solid.

“Because I have a brain, girl.” Snart rolled his eyes, looking rather speechless. “Your attack methods were already completely exposed yesterday. Of course I know who you will choose as your target. It’s either Mr. Hartley over there or me.”

"I don't know if anyone has told you that newbies always reveal their intentions completely before attacking. You always like to stare at your destination before teleporting. But I'm not blind. Wherever you look, that's where I'll attack."

Ma Zhaodi couldn't help but reach up and rub his forehead.

"I told you he's got brains, but you just wouldn't listen."

Snart laid Shauna flat on the ground, kicked the ice block, and it rolled off the battlefield. Meanwhile, on the other side, Hartley was still fighting Mick's flamethrower with his sonic glove.

“Just in case you don’t know.” His voice sounded quite young, but his tone was full of genius-like arrogance and erudition: “If you have studied physics, you should know that all objects have their own natural frequency, and sound is also a kind of vibration.”

"So, when the vibration frequency of a sound is the same as the vibration frequency of an object, resonance occurs—can you guess what happens when resonance occurs?"

"Guess you!"

Mick's reply and the flames blazed down at the same time: "I hate you bunch of bespectacled nerds the most! You always act like you're the boss!"

"Oh, what a shame. It seems you didn't even finish community college—or perhaps not even vocational college?"

"Fuck you!"

Hartley's taunts didn't hit Mick's biggest sore spot, but they did send his blood pressure soaring. The fiery temper of Heatwave couldn't stand such an insult and provocation, so it lashed out at him with even more fury.

"Don't worry, I'll give you a lesson!"

Hartley stepped back to avoid the flames, adjusted the sonic frequency of his gloves, and then unleashed two powerful sonic booms.

"Clap!"

With a crisp sound, the flamethrower in Heatwave's hand exploded, sending sparks flying.
