Chapter 387 Batman Who Would Save a Cat Even If It Was Against His Principles

Harley Quinn's Infiltration

Harley Quinn uses green grass powder to trick the hunting plants and follows the talons of the Court of Owls into the mysterious "Vantastic" forest.

Harley saw Shazo laughing.

Harley pulled out a sledgehammer and smashed it on Shazo's head.

Harley's hammer shattered.

Harley launched into a scissor kick, clamping her legs around Shazo's neck and beginning a spectacular spin.

Harley couldn't break Shazor's neck, nor could she make him lose his balance.

Harley landed in Shazo's arms.

Oh no! Harley Quinn has been captured!

Chains, bindings, gags, hanging upside down!

The three Gotham sisters gathered in Shazzo's room, although Catwoman and Harley Quinn were not yet acquainted, both of them were on good terms with Poison Ivy.

Because he had previously promised that capturing Harley would improve Catwoman and Poison Ivy's situation, he turned the two women upside down, with their heads facing upwards.

Poison Ivy felt much better, but Catwoman was going crazy because the pressure suddenly hit her abdomen, and the little cat's face turned bright red.

"Please, please, let me go to the toilet—"

Xia Zuo patted his head, released the catwoman from her restraints, and let her do as she pleased.

Having freed one of them and satisfied his craving for imprisoning Piay, he simply released Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy as well.

Then Shazzo asked, "Harley Quinn, what are you doing here?"

Harley Quinn answered honestly, "I'm here to see Pamela."

Xia Zuo looked into her eyes and asked again, "Are you sure you're not here to seek revenge because I killed the clown?"

""

"Yes, I'm sure—" Harley Quinn trembled under Shazo's intense gaze, her jaw agape.

Just then, two steel needles popped out of Harley's little mouth and stabbed into Shazo's eyes.

At this moment, the distance between Harley's mouth and Shazo's eyes was no more than 40 centimeters. The mechanism hidden in her mouth was small but powerful, and the ejection speed was extremely fast, which could be said to be instantaneous.

Because of Gao Ting's nose blocking the view, Harley couldn't see the steel needles being fired, and this woman didn't have Sharingan, so she couldn't see the high-speed flying steel needles at all.

Harley Quinn made a mistake; she assumed that Shazor was unavoidable and laughed triumphantly, "Haha, I'm the Joker's woman, Harley Quinn! You kill the Joker, and I'll kill—"

A pair of steel needles spun before Xia Zuo's eyes, reflecting a silvery light.

Harley then realized she had failed, and her words came to an abrupt halt.

However, Xia Zuo discovered that Harley, who dressed herself up in a gaudy and outlandish way, showed a look of calm and resignation in her eyes after she realized her failure.

"Haha, I failed."

"Failure isn't anything to be afraid of. So what if I die? I can take that!"

"Come on! Kill me!"

Xia Zuo watched Harley Quinn's performance with great interest, her voice gradually lowering until it became a soft humming sound like a mosquito's buzz: "Hmm... Can you let me live?"

Xia Zuo replied, "It's not impossible, but—"

Harley jumped up and immediately prostrated herself at Shazo's feet: "Please, please spare me, I'll do anything you ask!"

Xia Zuo: "Wash off the face paint and I'll let you go."

Harley: "This, this little thing—isn't it a bit too sloppy?"

"That's the premise!" Xia Zuo said decisively, "I hate clown makeup. Seeing it reminds me of the clown."

Seeing his resolute attitude, Harley could only grit her teeth and say, "Fine, I'll wash!"

As she spoke, she pulled out a handkerchief soaked in makeup remover from her bosom and quickly wiped off the makeup from her face, revealing a pretty and clean face, even with a touch of innocence.

No one expected that as the clown makeup was removed, Harley's spirit collapsed. She became timid, withdrawn, and lacked confidence. She didn't even dare to look at Shazo, and her head drooped to her chest.

Xia Zuo chuckled coldly a few times, raised his hand and beckoned, a thick tree branch stretched in from outside the window and dropped a rice dumpling on the ground.

The cat-shaped zongzi girl wasn't embarrassed at all, and even greeted everyone with a smile, "Hello everyone, I'm back again."

Xia Zuo chuckled and said, "So, do you still think you can escape?"

Catwoman Selena laughed and said, "I won't be satisfied if I don't give it a try."

Xia Zuo nodded: "Yes, cats are indeed like that, they never give up."

"However, since you ran away in front of me, you must accept my punishment."

After saying that, Xia Zuo pulled the catwoman onto his lap and laid her flat, making her pert buttocks stick up high.

Catwoman felt incredibly ashamed to be suddenly made to look so humiliating, and she screamed and struggled desperately.

Because everyone knows that this position means a spanking is coming next.

That's so embarrassing.

Honestly, even if Xia Zuo conjured up a bed on the spot, threw the catwoman onto it, and prepared to do *that*, the catwoman wouldn't feel any shame.

Given the prevailing social atmosphere, Catwoman is hardly a chaste woman.

She might even find it exciting and thrilling, and might even want to team up with Poison Ivy and Harley Quinn for even more excitement.

But Xia Zuo was just that lacking in manners. He actually pressed the catwoman onto his lap and slapped her buttocks 50 times, until they were swollen high before he stopped.

Finally, Xia Zuo made a particularly harsh comment: "Much worse than America's number one perky butt."

Being told her butt wasn't perky enough, Catwoman Selena nearly fainted from anger: "Who are you talking about? What's that person's name? Where does she live? I'm going to tear her to shreds!"

Xia Zuo nodded and replied, "Steve Rogers, Captain America, has the most perfect butt."

Catwoman stared in disbelief: "—Steve Rogers—a man?"

Xia Zuoli replied matter-of-factly, "Of course!"

Catwoman Selena rolled her eyes and actually fainted from anger.

Seeing that the cat girl had fainted, Xia Zuo reached out and cut a three-centimeter-long wound across her lumbar spine, then took out a small object from the side of her spine.

Holding this thing, which was less than the size of a fingernail, and especially noticing the tiny bat mark on it, Xia Zuo felt very satisfied.

He rubbed the Catwoman's wound with his hand, and the deep wound that reached her spine disappeared.

Xia Zuo sensed the transmission of electromagnetic signals, slowly raised his head, and looked up at the sky above the treetops.

"Ha, it's only been a few days. Is it that the swelling has just gone down and you can't wait to come and cause me trouble?"

"Bruce, you're Batman. Batman isn't that impulsive. If he were, something terrible would definitely happen."

"Hmm, it seems that these are all life problems caused by the absence of parents. Let me teach you a lesson on behalf of your father, so that you won't have your spine broken and suffer the pain of being paralyzed in the future."

Xia Zuo clenched his fists so tightly they cracked: "You're welcome."

In the silent, hovering Batplane above the sky, Batman's brow was furrowed, as if he could crush a fly.

Just now, during the battle in the forest, the continuous explosions caused the dense canopy to part, and he received a location signal.

That was Catwoman's location signal; he had secretly implanted the signal device into Selena's body after one of their intimate encounters.

Without this signal device to provide location information, it wouldn't be so easy for him to catch his kitten.

But the fact that a location signal was received right after the explosion indicates two things.

First, he, Batman's girlfriend, Catwoman Selena, is in the forest below.

Second, this forest has the ability to block electronic signals.

The electronic gadgets Batman uses are the pinnacle of technology and money; their signals would never be blocked by a layer of natural leaves.

Batman sighed deeply. Now he was going to fight the enemy again without being fully prepared.

But he had no choice; he couldn't give up Catwoman, she was his true love.

Especially what the old butler said yesterday, that he wanted to change how he addressed himself as "Master," and that there would be another "Madam" and another "Young Master" in the family.

"Oh dear, I can't let Alfred down."

After saying that, Batman checked his equipment again and opened the weapons bay inside the plane.

He put all the metal weapons inside, and then took out some guns made of high-fiber polyester, as well as darts and props made of ceramic material.

Then he gave a helpless laugh: "Weapons that don't use metal materials don't have the opportunity to be tested beforehand, so we have no idea whether they will be effective."

"This is gambling."

Despite uttering complaints, Batman moved swiftly, opening the plane's cabin door and leaping out.

Using the grappling hook to slow him down by gripping a tree trunk, Batman landed steadily in a forest clearing, startled by the massive, brightly lit palace.

In just one second, he composed himself and stealthily made his way towards the palace.

Since passing through the canopy of the tree, Catwoman's location signal has been very clear, enough to guide Batman to find her accurately.

However, when the door was pushed open silently, the person who saw it was Xia Zuo, and the locator he was holding in his hand was also visible.

Batman's head spun, and without thinking, he asked, "Where's Selena? What did you do to her?"

Xia Zuo replied with a smile, "He's alright (indeed), at least he's not dead (he's alive and well), he just can't wake up right now (he was given some sleeping pills)."

The suggestive words enraged Batman, who picked up his weapon without hesitation and fired at Shazor.

The tungsten-core armor-piercing projectiles were launched at Xia Zuo like a deluge, but as before, they were held in place by electromagnetic forces and stopped in front of Xia Zuo.

He was about to say dismissively, "That's it?"

But just before I opened my mouth, I remembered the famous scene of the third princess of Asgard confidently catching an arrow.

If this happened to me, I would be incredibly embarrassed.

So he used electromagnetic force to launch these long bullets away.

But Batman was already grinning smugly: "Explode!"

The bullets that were suspended in the air suddenly exploded again.

Amidst a series of loud bangs, the explosives at the center of the bullets were ignited, triggering a secondary firing that launched the tungsten steel core bullets as secondary bullets.

These tungsten steel level 2 bullets, which he pinned his hopes on, were the only metal items he carried with him. He hoped they could deliver a fatal blow to Xia Zuo, just like armor-piercing rounds could penetrate tank armor.

Unfortunately, he was still disappointed. The tungsten steel core, which looked like a steel needle, stopped one centimeter in front of the bullet, and the spacing between all bullets and second-level bullets was the same.

This shows that Xia Zuo had not used his full strength before, and breaking through his electromagnetic defense was definitely not something that a single weapon could do.

But Batman didn't despair. He figured that since he was already here, he should take the opportunity to test the weapons he had prepared.

He then drew his high-fiber pistol and ceramic dagger and charged at Xia Zuo.

Then there is no more then.

With just one slap, Batman was slammed to the ground, his armor and all, embedded in the ground.

He took a few deep breaths to make himself feel a little better, then immediately gave the order: "Giggle—"

"Fire! Open fire!"

[Voiceprint detection successful!]

[Authorization has been confirmed!]

Weapon insurance deactivated.

The target has been identified!

【shooting!!】

A bright blue light flashed from directly below the Bat fighter, shooting straight into the forest below, passing through the dense canopy of trees, through the sturdy wooden houses, and striking Xia Zuo on the head.

This is the laser cannon on the Batplane. It was urgently ordered by Bruce Wayne—no, it was taken directly from a laser laboratory, and the installation took less than three hours.

But this shot played a decisive role.

Shazo in the DC universe is full of spirit, but this also makes it easy to overlook details.

For example, just now, after seeing Batman, he completely forgot about the Batplane and ignored the potential threat that this big guy might pose.

The laser cannon struck him directly on the head, and the laser energy instantly burned off his hair, turned his scalp into ashes, and charred his skull.

Even the brain matter beneath the skull boiled in some areas, scattering the charred skull fragments everywhere.

Xia Zuo just fell straight down to the ground.

Batman clenched his fist excitedly: "It actually worked! It just like that?"

"How lucky I am."

Just as Batman was about to examine the body, Catwoman, Poison Ivy, and Harley Quinn peeked in, like little mice seeing a cat's corpse, eager to take a bite, but too scared to get close.

Catwoman, however, forgot her fear of Shazam when she saw Batman. She rushed over, clutching her lower back, and then slapped him hard across the face.

Batman didn't dodge; instead, he stood up straight and took the slap head-on.

With tears streaming down her face, Catwoman angrily demanded, "How dare you install a tracking device inside my body without my permission? What do you take me for, a pet?"

Batman shook his head: "No, I want you to be my wife."

Catwoman's anger vanished instantly, her cheeks flushed red, and she stammered, unsure of what to say.

"Proposal!?"

Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy instantly forgot about Xia Zuo and entered "watching the show" mode.
