Chapter 993 Cassandra Killed Someone
Yang Le acted like a doting father, showing off his daughter everywhere he went.

Although the three members of Black Thunderbolt felt that Yang Le's words were becoming more and more outrageous, they were happy to listen to his boasting to pass the time because they were bored, since it would still be some time before the people to be taken in arrived.

"Time!"

The sudden sound sent a chill down the spines of the four people present. While most people might not recognize the sound, the four of them knew it perfectly well and were certain they hadn't misheard it.

That was the sound of a sharp weapon slicing through muscle. At the same time, all four looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw Cassandra holding the Blue Devil's trident in both hands, stabbing it into the Mind Pirate's body.

The next second, a large amount of blood gushed out from the hole pierced by the trident, instantly covering Cassandra's entire body.

This morning, Yang Le specially asked Diana to dress up Cassandra. Unlike usual, the little girl was wearing an exquisite dress.

Wearing a somewhat gothic-style dress, Cassandra stood on a pool of blood, looking like a vampire, her innocent eyes giving her an indescribable allure.

The four grown men present stared at the scene before them, speechless for a long time.

...

"This is the time."

Batman pointed to the screen, which was playing a recording of Yang Le and the others in the lobby.

In the video, Cassandra initially stood about four or five meters away from the Mind Pirate, then got closer and closer until she stopped at about half a meter away.

After staring at the Mind Pirate for about a minute, Cassandra walked over to Yang Le and the others, and took the trident that Blue Devil had stuck in the ground without attracting anyone's attention.

This stealth ability terrified Batman, who, as the world's premier stealth master, knew that replicating Cassandra's actions in the video would be incredibly difficult.

In broad daylight, without the four battle-hardened superheroes noticing, taking one of the heroes' weapons is something even he can't guarantee will be 100% successful.

Cassandra not only did it on her first try, but she also took the weapon and killed the mind pirate!

Batman's eyes flickered. Yang Le was indeed not lying. Judging from this video alone, Cassandra did have extraordinary potential. As an old rival of the League of Assassins, he could guarantee that even Lei Xiaogu might not have Cassandra's abilities.

If Cassandra were to reach adulthood, she might actually become the strongest assassin. It's just a good thing Yang Le pulled her out of the assassin's guild.

Otherwise, in a decade or so, the Justice League will have one more formidable adversary.

However, these are not the topics he needs to worry about today.

Batman turned around, and behind him stood a group of superheroes, including the Big Three. Almost everyone who wasn't on a mission had returned, since a murder had occurred in the Hall of Justice, and the Psychic Pirate, who had been causing headaches recently, had died. This was enough to be a major event that would shake the entire alliance.

After watching the video, the superheroes had differing opinions. Some said Cassandra was too dangerous, while others said she might be mind-controlled. In short, the room became noisy for a while.

"Everyone." Superman's voice was extremely penetrating, reaching every single person's ear even in a noisy room.

Seeing that the crowd had quieted down, Superman slowly spoke again: "Mars Manhunter has gone to examine Cassandra. We'll know soon enough whether there's really a problem."

As Superman spoke, he put his hand on Wonder Woman's shoulder. The three had always had a good relationship, so he and Batman knew that Diana and Cassandra had a good relationship.

Wonder Woman gently pulled Superman's hand away, shaking her head to indicate that she was fine. After all, even if something went wrong, panicking wouldn't help; it was better to calm down and think about how to solve it. "Snap!"

The sound of the door opening drew everyone's attention. Martian Manhunter, Giovanni, and Yang Le entered the room in an orderly fashion, and Diana immediately cast an inquiring glance at Yang Le.

Yang Le nodded to Diana to reassure her, and Batman then turned to Martian Manhunter for an answer.

"how is the situation?"

“Cassandra’s mind is unaffected,” Martian Manhunter shook his head. “Her heart is pure; I haven’t seen such a pure soul in centuries.”

Batman then looked at Giovanni, who also gave a very similar reply.

“There is no trace of magic. Cassandra’s mind and body belong to her 100% and her actions are all of her own will.”

"But why?" The Flash was puzzled. Because he was too curious, he used his speed to patrol Midtown while listening in. In short, he used the Speed ​​Force to run back and forth.

What could make a little girl take someone's life?

"I just asked Cassandra, and she didn't hide anything from me and told me directly," Yang Le said with a sigh of relief.

"She told me that Roger begged her to kill him."

The room fell silent instantly. Unlike the quiet listening earlier, this time it was a deathly silence where even breathing stopped.

"Roger? The Mind Pirate asked her?" Hal's expression was strange.

"Let me make this clear, I'm not being discriminatory, but you know that the two people you just mentioned can't speak, right? How do they manage to communicate?"

"Don't worry about Hal, I have the same question as you, so I asked it too."

Yang Le waved his hand and continued, "Cassandra said that she could tell by looking at people's eyes and micro-expressions. She has an ability to sense what people are thinking."

In the comics, Cassandra has the ability to read body language, which allows her to predict other people's next actions, much like mind reading and foreseeing the future.

"Is this really possible?" Black Thunderbolt was clearly skeptical. "Isn't it a bit too far-fetched?"

“It really is Black Lightning,” Giovanni, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly testified.

"Mars Hunter and I didn't believe it at first either. We immediately tested Cassandra's abilities. With Mars Hunter reading my mind the whole time, Cassandra could perfectly predict whatever I was going to do."

Giovanni broke out in a cold sweat, his lips trembling slightly as he spoke.

"To be honest, this is the first time I've ever seen such an ability in all my years of life. It's more terrifying than real mind reading, like being standing naked in front of someone."

“Cassandra can communicate with me just by looking at my expression.”
