Chapter 992 The Old Father Yang Le

Good morning, Yang Le.

The one who greeted Yang Le was Black Thunderbolt, who was one of the members responsible for guarding the mutated Mind Pirates. The other two were Atom Crusher and Blue Devil.

Black Lightning is one of the genetic sources of those mutant creatures at the Cadmus Research Institute. His ability is to discharge electricity and he can also control a certain degree of magnetic field. It's just unknown whether he can cultivate magnetic field rotation.

The Atom Crusher's ability is simply to grow to gigantic size. It is said that it can grow up to about 18 meters in length. As its size increases, its strength and defense will also increase, just like the Super Tyrannosaurus Rex.

Blue Devil is more interesting. This guy was originally a stuntman who was trapped in his own stunt costume due to a curse. Later, he got into a lot of trouble because of his devilish appearance.

Blue Devil eventually died in trouble, but was resurrected for some reason. Who knew that he would become a real devil after being resurrected?

At first, dressed in a special effects suit, he could only use some of the abilities that were originally added to the suit. Later, after becoming a real devil, his abilities gradually turned into the power of the devil, especially the trident, which is said to be one of Satan's items.

Although these three individuals are relatively unknown within the Justice League, their strength is undeniable, and their use in escorting the Mind Pirates demonstrates the Justice League's cautious approach.

“The Mind Pirate who has become like this isn’t scary. Batman is mainly worried about the mastermind behind this.” Atom Smash explained to Yang Le. This guy wasn’t powerful, but he was also a tall and strong man. Among the strong men in the League, few could compare to him.

But despite appearing to be a tough guy, he actually has a very soft heart and is a kind-hearted person. Among all the maverick superheroes, he is one of the easiest to get along with. It is precisely because he is too soft that he is somewhat indecisive.

As an executor of orders, the Atom Crusher is undoubtedly top-notch, but if he were to command, it would be a disaster.

"I have to say that the Joker's antics have resulted in something truly terrifying. Batman was afraid that the mastermind behind it would become interested, so he asked the three of us to guard it together."

After capturing Count Vertigo and his Injustice League, Batman and his team tried various methods to find out who the real culprit was, but the result was the same as that of Martian Girl.

It can only be said that the people who tampered with their memories were quite skilled. Even Martian hunters could only detect that these people's memories had been 'trimmed', but the original content could not be restored.

It seemed the trail had gone cold again, but Martian Hunter came up with a new idea.

He believed that information about the mastermind could be obtained from the Joker, because the Joker's brain was chaotic and disordered. Even normal people with mental and spiritual abilities could be affected after entering such a person's brain, let alone tamper with such a person's memories.

Diana thought the idea was feasible, but getting the Joker to talk honestly would be difficult. After all, even the Lasso of Truth might not be able to get anything useful out of the Joker, let alone now that they didn't even know where the Joker had gone.

Ultimately, this was still a useful piece of information. Although it couldn't be implemented for the time being, everyone kept it in mind and would talk about it when the opportunity arose.

“What did the government say?” Yang Le pulled Cassandra over to the three of them. “Have they said how they’re going to deal with the Mind Pirate?” “It’s hard to say yet.” Atom Crusher shook his head. “Some say he should be executed, some say he should be imprisoned, and some lawyers want to defend the Mind Pirate because those guys think he didn’t commit the crime of his own volition, saying they want to fight for human rights for everyone, even those who are like monsters.”

"Hmph!" Blue Devil sneered disdainfully. "It's all just talk those people use to satisfy their own desires. Now that the Mind Pirates are silenced, they're the perfect material for those guys to extract profits from."

He, who also transformed from a human into a non-human, is the most qualified to speak on this matter. When he was just a person wearing a stunt costume, he suffered a lot of discrimination. Now that he has joined the Justice League, things have become a little better.

"If I could, I'd love to give this guy a quick death." Blue Devil said as he plunged his trident into the ground, splitting the intact tile in two, much to the heartache of Atom Crusher.

"If you can't live in peace, you might as well be dead."

“It’s a pity we can’t do that.” Black Thunder shrugged helplessly. “Preventing this guy from becoming a lab rat is the best we can do.”

Since it was still early for both the escort time and the agreed time with the Young Justice League, Black Lightning pulled Yang Le aside to chat. Cassandra seemed quite curious about the hall, so Yang Le stayed and let her wander around the hall for a while.

The mind pirate was controlled by the shackles that controlled superhumans, and Cassandra herself was no ordinary child, so Yang Le was quite at ease with her.

Cassandra was indeed very bold, walking straight towards the Mind Pirates, but she stopped after only a few steps, about five or six meters away, and just watched from afar.

"This is the kid you wanted to recommend for the Young Justice League?" Black Lightning glanced at him and then looked away. "He seems pretty brave, but I wonder how skilled he is with his hands and feet?"

"Want to make a bet?" Yang Le asked with a proud expression. "You and Cassandra can spar for a bit, as long as it doesn't take more than three minutes."

"Her? She lasted three minutes?" Black Thunder looked at his muscular physique. "You really have a lot of confidence in that little girl, actually thinking she can last three minutes against me."

"No." Yang Le shook his head. "If you can last for three minutes, you've succeeded."

Black Thunderbolt exchanged glances with the other two. It wasn't that he felt insulted, but Yang Le's seemingly genuine manner made him somewhat inclined to believe him.

“Cassandra’s upbringing is very special. I dare say that when she turns fifteen, even Batman will be no match for her.”

Black Lightning shook his head. He felt that Yang Le was talking nonsense, and his words were becoming increasingly absurd. Beating Batman with fists and feet without any ability? How many members of the Justice League could do that? He certainly couldn't.

To give a typical example, the Golden Vanguard has a good record in the league's private sparring matches, belonging to the upper class, but what about when facing Batman?
15 games, 15 losses, never won once.
