Chapter 381 Paradise Island

Disappeared without a trace?
Yang Le looked puzzled and asked, "Then why do you think the queen must be dead?"

To be honest, if Yang Le didn't know Wonder Woman's character well, he would have thought that she was a filial son who acted out his best in front of him after plotting to usurp the throne. How could he have made such a final judgment on her when no one had ever seen her alive or dead?

"The guard saw with her own eyes that my mother turned into a stone statue in front of her and was shattered." Wonder Woman said painfully.

"I see." Yang Le nodded. "That means the enemy attacked the Queen first, killed her, and then injured her guards."

"Yes, I think they're provoking us," Wonder Woman said through gritted teeth. "They left us some clues on purpose, just like Batman's mortal enemies."

"You've hit the nail on the head." Yang Le snapped his fingers. "Then why don't you go find the world's greatest detective? If Batman were to take action, he'd surely find the murderer quickly."

"Before I came to you, I went to see Batman first." Wonder Woman rolled her eyes at Yang Le, as if to say, 'Do you think I haven't thought of this?'

"He's still in a coma, and his injuries are not light. I can't let him come to help me with all those injuries."

Seeing Yang Le's thoughts, Wonder Woman continued, "As for the other members of the Justice League, most of them are in the same situation. Some are injured, some are cleaning up the mess. After thinking about it, you are the only one who has time to help me."

Yang Le was not annoyed at being labeled as an idler. After all, it was actually true. Superheroes all had dual identities. After experiencing the beast transformation incident, not only did they have things to do in their superhero state, but they also had a lot of things to do in their ordinary human state.

Only Yang Le is special. He has almost no ties in this universe, which is why he becomes the idler in Wonder Woman's words.

"You want me to help you find the murderer?" Yang Le asked.

Wonder Woman nodded and said, "Yes, I want you to help me find my mother's murderer. I want to take back my mother's body with my own hands. She shouldn't be displaced outside. Paradise Island is her home where she should rest in peace."

"Of course, I won't let you help me for nothing," Wonder Woman continued. "Whether I find it or not, I owe you a favor, and I'll keep the Nth Metal secret a secret."

Hearing Wonder Woman say this, Yang Le immediately stretched out his right hand and said, "Although I don't understand what you are saying, I think I have no reason to refuse my companion's request."

Wonder Woman took Yang Le's outstretched right hand, stood up, and looked at Yang Le with gratitude.

"Thank you."

"Then when do we set off?" Yang Le asked while feeling the soft hand in his hand.

"I'd like to say the sooner the better, but it's getting really late." Wonder Woman hid the anxiety in her eyes. "Let's leave tomorrow morning. You're just an ordinary person, and after a busy morning, staying up late might be too much for you."

In fact, there is something that Yang Le also understands without saying it. If Queen Hippolyta was still alive, they would definitely race against time, but now the other party is very likely to be dead, so it seems meaningless to be anxious. But this is all based on the premise that the queen is dead.

"That's better not to do." Yang Le waved his hand. "Time is of the essence. If they were able to deceive the guards outside the palace, there's no reason they couldn't also deceive a personal guard. So, it's possible the queen is still alive. We should hurry up and go to the crime scene now." "Thank you." Wonder Woman looked at Yang Le with emotion, and without further pretense, she took off, pulling Yang Le along.

Although Wonder Woman's speed is not particularly impressive, she is actually among the top in the speed ranking given by DC Comics. The only ones ahead of her are monsters like the Speedster and Superman.

If we only talk about speed, Yang Le in the Aesir state would definitely be completely defeated. It is estimated that only when the entire planet is plunged into war and he has strengthened his war godhood can he catch up with Wonder Woman.

It is also because of this that even if Yang Le can fly by himself at this time, he will let Wonder Woman take him. It is efficient and saves effort, so why not do it?

In the blink of an eye, Yang Le was brought to an endless ocean by Wonder Woman. At this time, Wonder Woman slowed down her speed and continued to lower her altitude. Yang Le knew that they should have arrived.

Sure enough, relying on the Aesir's sensitivity to magic and divine power, Yang Le saw a layer of film like foam that could never be seen without careful observation. After passing through the film, an island carrying an ancient Greek building appeared before his eyes.

Only about one-fifth of the island's area has buildings, and the rest is all natural scenery. The climate is also different from the outside world. The cold sea breeze does not seem to affect here. The thin film seems to isolate the cold wind from the outside, and there is only warmth like spring here all year round.

"This is really a great place to live in seclusion." Yang Le couldn't help but blurt out.

"Paradise Island is indeed the most beautiful place in the world." Wonder Woman forced a smile. Perhaps only at this moment could she relieve the anxiety in her heart.

"It's a pity that no male is ever allowed to enter." Yang Le laughed bitterly. "By the way, wouldn't it be breaking the rules if I went in?"

"Special matters must be handled specially." Wonder Woman slowly landed with Yang Le. "Don't worry, I will convince my sisters. After all, you are my helper, and I won't embarrass you."

After the two landed, Yang Le's feet stepped on the soft grass, and Wonder Woman also let go of Yang Le's hand. The latter couldn't help but feel a little regretful. After all, the former's hand felt very good to the touch, and did not look like the hand of someone who had been wielding swords for years. Not to mention calluses, there was not even dead skin.

"Come this way." Wonder Woman raised her hand to signal Yang Le to follow him, and then walked towards the building complex, and Yang Le immediately followed.

After walking a few steps, the two stopped, not because they had arrived, but because a group of Amazon soldiers on horseback had surrounded them.

One of the Amazon warriors, whose armor was obviously different from the others, rode his warhorse in front of the two and spoke loudly.

"Diana, why did you bring a man to Paradise Island? Don't you know that this is taboo?"

"Phillips, I know." Wonder Woman's eyes were firm and she was not at all frightened by the tall horses around her and the gleaming weapons.

"This is the helper I found to help us find the murderer of the Amazon Queen!"
