Bai Ye reached behind his waist and drew his famous blade, Bloodthirst. He slashed the car's airbag, feeling dizzy. He shook his head vigorously and touched his forehead, feeling blood trickling down.
Bai Ye cursed under his breath, then kicked open the car door and stepped out. He walked to the front of the Batmobile and took a look.
No one?
The Batmobile was empty. Bai Ye didn't see Batman. Then...
Bang!
Bai Ye's hair was suddenly grabbed, and he was forcefully slammed against the car roof. Immediately after, his lower back received a knee strike, pinning him against the Batmobile.
Batman's hoarse voice rang out, "Return to the Investigation Bureau with me..."
Bang!
Before Batman could finish speaking, Bai Ye suddenly raised his hand and smashed an elbow into Batman's head. He then quickly turned and kicked Batman in the chest, sending him staggering backward.
Bai Ye pulled at his collar and said, "That won't do. I'm starving and only want to get some late-night food."
As Bai Ye spoke, he reached out, and the Predator's bio-mask appeared in his hand.
Bai Ye put on the bio-mask and asked, "Do you think sashimi is good, or grilled skewers?"
Bio-scan initiated...

...
Bai Ye was speechless looking at the scanned information.
The strength and speed were decent. From a normal person's perspective, they were terrifying, completely monstrous. However, from a chosen one's perspective...
Alright, they were still very outstanding physical attributes.
But for Bai Ye, they were about the same. In terms of strength, Bai Ye was slightly inferior, but in terms of speed, Bai Ye was faster and more agile than Batman.
The intelligence aspect was a bit disheartening. Batman belonged to the truly high-IQ crowd.
But Bai Ye found Batman's abilities the most interesting.
"Has he learned every skill a normal person could master through study?" Bai Ye couldn't help but complain, "And it's incomplete, not all of it was scanned."
While Bai Ye was complaining, Batman had already closed in again. His swaying stance indicated he was using boxing.
However, in the next instant...
Bang!
Bai Ye raised his arm to block, deflecting Batman's punch. Batman instantly changed his move, switching from boxing to Muay Thai, and delivered a knee strike.
Bai Ye was instantly alarmed and quickly reached out to block Batman's right leg that was kicking towards his lower body.
"Hey, this position is a no-go!" Bai Ye said, "I don't have a girlfriend yet, and I still need this for the battlefield!"
Bang!
As soon as Bai Ye finished speaking, Batman raised his fist and smashed it into Bai Ye's face, making Bai Ye stagger.
Bai Ye swayed and retreated a few steps, licking his cracked lip. "No sense of humor at all."
Batman ignored Bai Ye and pressed forward again.
He threw punches rapidly. Bai Ye quickly blocked with his arm, parrying a punch from Batman. But in the next instant, Bai Ye's waist was hit by a roundhouse kick.
The intense pain made Bai Ye's expression change slightly. He then grabbed Batman's right leg.
"Ah!"
Bai Ye roared and lifted Batman's body, slamming him into the ceiling.
With a bang, a section of the ceiling was smashed through. Countless debris rained down, and Batman fell to the ground, clutching his head.
Bai Ye moved forward and raised his foot to stomp down on Batman, but Batman grabbed his ankle. Then, Batman twisted his body, clamped Bai Ye's waist with his legs, pulled Bai Ye to the ground, and quickly pounced on him.
Batman pressed one arm against the back of Bai Ye's neck and grabbed Bai Ye's wrist with the other hand, twisting Bai Ye's arm behind his back and subduing him.
Batman's hoarse voice, clearly processed by machinery, rang out again, "Prison gates will open for you."
"Hahahahaha..." Bai Ye burst into laughter. "Throw me in prison? Aren't you afraid of a prison riot?"
As Bai Ye spoke, he exerted force, trying to break free, but was instantly pushed back to the ground.
Bai Ye's strength was slightly inferior to Batman's, but not by much. It was just that in terms of technique, Bai Ye was clearly lacking. Batman's titles of Master of Hand-to-Hand Combat and Master of Martial Arts were not for nothing.
However, after struggling for a moment without success, Bai Ye didn't care. He just lay on the ground, smiling, "Or, perhaps you'd consider killing me directly?"
Batman ignored Bai Ye. While pinning him, he reached for his waist, intending to retrieve handcuffs.
"Do you really think you're an enforcer?" Bai Ye said with a smile, "You're actually not qualified to do this. There's no difference between you and me; we are both the sins of this city!"
Batman still didn't speak, merely intending to handcuff Bai Ye.
But at this moment...
Bai Ye's body suddenly ignited, and fierce flames erupted.
Batman was startled and quickly moved away from Bai Ye, leaping back several times to create distance.
Bai Ye stretched his muscles, pushed himself up from the ground, and slowly turned around.
Batman said sternly, "Mutant?"
Bai Ye grinned, then clenched his fist, cracking his knuckles.
"Do you know why you're the Dark Knight?" Bai Ye raised his fist and shouted, "It's because you, too, cannot see the light!"
As Bai Ye threw a punch, the flames swirling around him quickly transformed into a pillar of fire, surging towards Batman.
Batman reacted quickly, leaping to the side. The pillar of fire narrowly missed him.
But at this very moment...
"Flame Burst!"
Bai Ye suddenly spoke, making a fist with his hand, and then...
Boom!
The flames that had passed by Batman instantly exploded.
Amidst the deafening roar of the explosion, layers of shockwaves rolled outwards.
Batman felt as if his chest had been violently struck. His body was caught by the shockwave and slammed hard against the wall behind him.
