The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 1185 If it’s hard, don’t do it
Although the scene was already a clear case of catching the perpetrator red-handed, the Supreme Lord still took the blame upon his own side.

Supreme Name felt there was no need to rush. In his view, Yang Le and the others were still on his territory. Regardless of whether Class 23 was really playing dirty tricks, he could wait until everything settled down before making a decision.

This shows his magnanimity as a king, but his son does not have such a capacity.

"Regardless of the truth, Xiaoban is now a suspect." The Supreme Ninja patted the injured guard on the shoulder, signaling him to step back.

"In order to find out the truth, we need to temporarily detain him and wait until everything comes to light before taking further action."

"No need!"

Yang Le had no intention of following the other party's line of thought. Countless past examples had already taught him that once he fell into someone else's rhythm, the consequences could very well be disastrous.

"You're putting us in a difficult position, Mr. Yang Le." The Supreme Ninja narrowed his eyes and slightly raised his hands, which had been hanging casually at his sides, clearly indicating that he had entered a state of alert.

The guards around him were already furious because of Yang Le's actions earlier. They were all comrades in the same unit and had a good relationship. They were all in the same boat, sharing both glory and loss.

Yang Le slapped their team leader, which is equivalent to slapping all of them in the face. How could they not be angry?

Seeing their prince's actions, the guards also placed their hands on the samurai swords at their waists.

This time, the Supreme Lord did not stop him. In his view, there was nothing wrong with his son's suggestion. It was just a matter of temporary detention, which was the normal way to handle the situation.

Yang Le's unwillingness to cooperate even with this is already quite disrespectful to him. He may be good-tempered and generous, but he is not weak.

“Your Excellency, the Great Familia…” Splinter tried to speak up to dissuade him, but was stopped by the Supreme Daimyo’s hand.

Splinter now understood that the Supreme Name was preparing to use force. His eyes flashed as he prepared to give a signal to Yang Le and the others, as well as Cassandra in the stands, so that they could find an opportunity to break out together.

Unlike Yang Le and the others, he knew where the gate to the outside world was and also knew the incantation to open it. As long as he could escape Daming City, he could return to his own universe.

However, Splinter believed that it would be almost impossible to break through the thick encirclement unscathed, so he immediately thought of taking hostages.

The moment the thought crossed his mind, Splinter unconsciously shifted his gaze to the Supreme Daimyo beside him, thinking about how to quickly subdue him so that he could safely evacuate with the children.

This is his responsibility as an elder, based on his values; after all, what parent wouldn't protect their own child?

Splinter had decided that he would return to apologize to His Majesty after he had safely delivered the children home.

In the blink of an eye, Splinter had planned everything. His body, hidden under his clothes, was slightly tense, waiting for the right moment to strike.

"Difficult to handle?" Yang Le smiled, but there was no hint of amusement in his eyes.

If it's too difficult, then don't do it.

The other party's arrogant attitude touched the Supreme Ninja's most sensitive point, and he drew his katana in a fit of rage, pointing it at Yang Le.

"Seize this audacious madman!"

"These are my lines." A white light flashed on Yang Le's body, and before the blinding light could dissipate, a green light screen swept out in all directions with lightning speed.

Almost instantly, the entire arena was enveloped by the green light. The green light came and went quickly; by the time the Supreme Ninja who had dodged the flash reopened his eyes, the green light had already dissipated.

"Unorthodox methods!" the Supreme Ninja sneered.

He guessed that what he had just seen was a flashbang thrown by Yang Le. When he opened his eyes, he saw that apart from Yang Le's appearance changing into a fat metal man, everyone else's location was the same, so he assumed that what he had just seen was just a delaying tactic by the other side.

So the Supreme Ninja once again ordered the surrounding guards to capture Yang Le and the others.

"Hmm?" The Supreme Ninja frowned slightly. Unlike last time, this time no guards responded to him. Not only that, even the guards surrounding Yang Le and the others remained motionless in the same position.

It's as if it has turned into a sculpture.

"Oh, it's Uncle Didi!" Ban 23 had also recovered by this time, probably because someone was backing him up.

"This is indeed a good option, so let's make our escape now."

"What is Grandpa Tick-Tock?" Damian asked, puzzled.

“That’s the name of the alien hero Yang became,” Ban 23 explained with a boastful tone. “He has the ability to control time, allowing you to manipulate time like playing with a videotape.”

'Controlling time!?' Not only Damian was surprised, but everyone who hadn't had their time stopped by Yang Le heard Class 23's introduction and was amazed by such power.

“I can tell you my full name openly.” Yang Le stood there with his hands on his hips. “The power we possess far exceeds your imagination. Even destroying the universe might be an easy thing for us Omnitrix users.”

"You want evidence, don't you? I think there's no evidence more powerful than overwhelming force, is there?"

To prove Yang Le's point, Class 23 even transformed into the Clock King, puffing out his chest to show that he also possessed this power.

Just as Yang Le said, the Supreme Name now believes that it wasn't Ban 23 who placed the curse on the sword. After all, since the opponent can control time, there's no need to use such underhanded means to achieve victory.

To put it bluntly, those bunch of amateurs who participated in the competition are not worthy of competing with Class 23 at all. The Supreme Name could even directly award the championship to him.

What? You disagree? Then why don't you pause the game and see? If you can do that, even the most prestigious name wouldn't mind winning two championships in one competition.

"It seems someone framed the junior class contestant." The Supreme Lord tapped the ground with his staff, thus confirming the matter.

"I have lived a long life, but before meeting you two, I only knew of one person who could control time. Please put away your supernatural powers, and I will give you justice."

The Supreme Name's staff can only control space to a certain extent; it is helpless against time-stopping and can only pray that Yang Le and the other person will show mercy.

Yang Le was protective of his own, but he still had to reason with the other party. Seeing that the other party bowed his head and admitted his mistake, he simply released the time stop.

Time had just resumed its flow, and the guards and spectators, completely unaware of what had just happened, were still performing the actions they had before being paused.

"It's too noisy," Class 23 frowned. "It would be better to just keep it paused."
