Mysterious Person

Watching Bruce, who was panting heavily from exhaustion, Aeo couldn't help but tease, "I have to say, for a human, your stamina is quite impressive."

"Tsk." Bruce, having caught his breath, couldn't help but retort, "Don't you ever get tired?"

"No."

"..." Alright, Bruce once again had a clear understanding of this Kryptonian's monstrous nature. "As a human, I shouldn't compare myself to you. You guys are just freaks!"

"Listen. You watch out for their people while I..." Bruce said as he put on the Bat-suit, "...go catch him!"

"What's this?" Aeo raised an eyebrow as he looked at the object Bruce handed him.

"A communicator. I need you to keep an eye on the surroundings at all times. If you're willing..."

Aeo thought for a moment and took it.

A faint smile touched Bruce's stern face. After observing the 44-story Liu Group building opposite them with high-powered binoculars, Bruce was about to make his move.

Aeo couldn't help but say, "Actually, you don't need to go through all this trouble."

"..."

"I can just fly over, knock him out with a bang, and fly back. Then you can do whatever you want with him. Why bother with all this?"

"...No."

Batman shook his head. "This isn't about speed. It's about the fact that the world isn't ready to accept an alien! Listen, the reason I brought you along is because I want to know if you still have at least a basic sense of morality, reverence, and humanity within you..."

"Not to see you beat someone who isn't on your level..."

Batman took out a device and fired it at the opposite building with a targeting sight.

"I don't want to be your enemy one day, Son of Krypton..."

With that, Batman leaped off the building.

"..." Aeo.

Whoosh, Batman glided through the air like a ghost, his wings unfurling thanks to the high-tech Bat-suit.

"Tell me, where are the nearest enemies?" Bruce's voice came through his ear.

Aeo smiled slightly, and his Superpowers activated with his thoughts, appearing in his eyes. "Let me see."

In Superman's vision, everything became transparent. He could even see a mosquito thousands of feet away flapping its wings, and the human it was about to feed on, with their internal organs and blood flow visible. Under his Super-hearing, every move of everyone in Hong Kong, the Pearl of the Orient, was completely exposed to Aeo. He could even hear a dolphin a kilometer offshore. He couldn't understand why there were dolphins in Hong Kong, which wasn't their usual habitat.

In essence, before the Son of Krypton with his powers fully unleashed, the world was incredibly vivid and terrifying, with countless pieces of information flooding his mind, as if he were a god ruling over everything on Earth!

Fortunately, even for a Kryptonian whose senses were innately far stronger than those of Earthlings, this state was a burden. Therefore, they rarely enhanced their hearing and vision to their fullest extent, as it required immense practice and training. For ten years, Aeo had continuously studied and trained his senses, all to be able to control his abilities at will, just as General Zod had once admonished him, "Having power alone doesn't make you a warrior!" Although he couldn't maintain this state indefinitely, Aeo could now manage it for a short while at full capacity...

In short, with the help of Aeo, who had entered Superman mode, Batman successfully infiltrated the building.

"Who's there?" Several security guards in the room were alerted.

Batman didn't speak. Instead, he fought with fists and feet, a mix of cold weapons and technology, and in a short while, he had taken down all the thugs.

"Hmm, good skills, but you need to hurry, Bruce." Aeo watched the show from across the way. "The building's security system has been alerted, and a large number of guards are heading your way."

"I was prepared." Bruce pressed an instrument in his hand, and the entire building plunged into darkness, making it impossible to see even an arm's length away.

Aeo remarked, "Alright, you're impressive. But the police have also been alerted, so be careful, hehe."

"I don't need you to worry." Bruce opened the door and glanced at the corridor outside. "You just need to tell me how to get to Mr. Liu's room."

Shrugging, after telling him the way, Aeo even had time to look around at the scenery, which was truly quite dire.

"Huh."

Aeo's eyes suddenly focused in a certain direction...

"What's wrong?"

"...Nothing." Aeo retracted his gaze, his mind racing, and said with a complex expression, "OK, you've got him. We should go, Bruce."

"...I'm coming."

Bang! A floor-to-ceiling window on the opposite building shattered, and Batman appeared at the window with another short, middle-aged man.

"Don't shoot, don't shoot."

The middle-aged man's familiar language came through the earpiece. Aeo said with extreme displeasure, "We really need to go! Bruce! By the way, how are you planning to escape next?"

"I have my own plan! Hey, if you don't want to die, you'd better tell them not to shoot..."

After threatening Mr. Liu's subordinates, Batman checked the time. "It's about time..."

"What's about time... Huh, you brought the plane over? No, it's not the one we came in... You're actually planning to fly back on a Wayne Enterprises private jet!"

Batman smiled slightly and pressed another button on his waist. Bang! A parachute popped out and was caught by the tail compartment of a passing Gulfstream G550.

"It's time for us to go home, gentlemen."

Watching the two of them being brazenly picked up by the plane, not only were the subordinates of the Liu family below dumbfounded, but Aeo also couldn't help but chuckle. "Well, the rich are indeed willful. They show off their wealth even on a mission."

"Enough with the nonsense. Didn't you say you were leaving? Why aren't you following?"

Seeing Batman and the plane leaving without any intention of waiting for him, Aeo couldn't help but click his tongue and had to float up. "Didn't you say you didn't want me to use my powers? Why... Hey, wait for me."

Before leaving, Aeo looked back with a complex expression.

Not long after the uninvited guest from across the Pacific left, a burly figure appeared where Batman and Aeo had been.

"Already... gone?"

"Mhm, this scent, it truly is the scent of Power having been here..."

"Who is it! To carry such immense power with them..."

"Could it be..."

Under the dim light, a Westerner with gray hair, his eyes smeared with some black, unknown substance, appeared before the world.

But in an instant, this mysterious person vanished atop the skyscraper, leaving behind a declaration filled with desire and a beast-like growl.

"I will definitely find you, Child of Power!"
