American comics: Starting with replicating Superman's talent

Chapter 94 Gino is dead, Talia shall rise to power

"I must become stronger."

Top floor of Gotham Hospital.

Gino stood on the rooftop, gazing wistfully at the distant scenery.

People are never satisfied. When you have one dollar, you want ten dollars, and when you have ten dollars, you want more.

Holding the cold, green kryptonite in his hand, the once deadly poison had become an important substance for Gino's continuous growth and strength.

They nourish Gino's body every moment, making him even more powerful and terrifying.

"Da da~"

The sound of heels hitting the floor interrupted Gino's thoughts.

Talia wore a black short-sleeved top and a black skirt, with light green lipstick on her lips, and gazed at the boy.

At this moment, Gino had his back to the woman, and the moonlight cast a long shadow on him.

She tossed her long hair and said, "The amber gold has already been placed in the cellar of Elliott Manor."

Gino didn't turn around; he closed his eyes and felt his body.

A faint warmth emanated from his body, raising the temperature of his skin. With his eyes closed, Gino felt as if he could touch an invisible, transparent membrane separating his body from the air.

"I understand. Take your payment and leave."

Gino had no time to pay attention to Talia; he had more important things to do.

"Wait a minute, you seem to be quite interested in that guy called Batman?"

Talia didn't want to leave. She was curious as to why Gino had let Batman go and even forced him to drink a bottle of Amber Gold to save the dying Batman.

But Gino did not answer her question.

The boy frowned, deep in thought.

He could control the invisible membrane surrounding his body, but manipulating this "energy shield" seemed extremely difficult and unfamiliar.

"Perhaps I should try a different approach?!"

Gino suddenly took a step forward, a sudden action that startled Talia. The woman quickly shut her mouth, fearing that Gino would use another despicable method to silence her.

But Talia realized she was overthinking it.

In her sight, Gino slowly stood on the rooftop steps, only one step away from falling from the eighteen-story building below.

This caused an inexplicable surge of excitement to appear in Talia's eyes.

If I rushed forward and gave him a push...

The idea began to form in Talia's mind, but she quickly forced herself to calm down.

Having witnessed Gino's terrifying performances so many times, Talia knew that the man before her was as mysterious as the mysterious lake her father possessed.

So, after thinking for a moment, the woman wisely "cowardly" abandoned her plan to give him a push from behind.

She gritted her teeth and watched Gino stand on the edge of the rooftop, looking down at the concrete road beneath his feet.

Gino looked down at the concrete road below.

Looking down from above, cars and pedestrians appear tiny, much like when we were children squatting in an anthill watching the ants' movements.

"If I jump from here, at worst my feet will hurt a little, right?"

Gino pinched his chin, gazing at the tall buildings below.

The colorful lights intertwined with the occasional flashes of orange flame.

Ah, don't get me wrong, that orange firelight is a nightly tradition for Gothamites: "American Iaido - gunshot slashing".

Taking a deep breath, Gino decided to push himself.

He spread his arms wide, and then, to Talia's astonishment, suddenly leaped!

"Whoosh!"

With a flick of his clothes across the rooftop, Gino completely disappeared from Talia's sight.

"Is this guy crazy?"

Talia exclaimed in surprise and quickly ran to the edge to see what was happening.

"Hoo hoo~"

A whistling, cool breeze brushed past my cheeks, and the dark glass of the high-rise building reflected my face.

Gino slowly closed his eyes, letting the raging wind blow over his body.

He focused entirely on sensing the mysterious position surrounding him.

"Flow, control."

"I consider it a part of myself."

Gino awkwardly manipulated the invisible energy, trying to mobilize it.

"Whoosh!"

The wind in my ears grew even stronger!

Gino ignored everything and remained focused on manipulating that mysterious energy.

He must succeed!

"Very good!"

Talia slammed her hands against the wall in excitement, the force of which turned her hands red.

Although it's unclear why Gino jumped, such a height would leave even a body of steel with injuries!

"You're about to fall!"

Talia gritted her teeth, her fox eyes filled with anticipation. She had even planned to escape with all the amber gold after Gino was seriously injured.

Ten meters, three meters.

When the woman saw Gino crash into the concrete roadside with a tremendous force, the floor shattered, and the surrounding concrete road also suffered damage, cracking and breaking. The terrifying force of the fall made it look like a cannonball hitting the road, kicking up a huge cloud of dust, which was tinged with an ominous red under the neon lights.

When the smoke cleared, only a bottomless crater remained.

From above, it looks like a dark, inky dot.

"Is he/she dead?"

Talia's eyes were full of anticipation. She licked her lips and gazed at the bottomless pit.

One second, three seconds, ten seconds!

As time ticked by, Talia could no longer contain her excitement and burst into a hearty laugh: "Hahahaha!"

"The amber gold is mine!"

Her face burned with the fire of ambition as she assembled her own group of assassins, emulating the Court of Owls!

Then, he overthrew Lei Xiaogu and became the leader of the Assassin Alliance!

"boom!"

Another sudden explosion interrupted Talia's gazing at the future.

She turned her head to look down: "What happened?"

In the pitch-black night, by the moonlight, Talia did not see Gino's figure.

"Perhaps some kind of ignition device exploded in this crazy city."

Talia consoled herself, gave a cold laugh, and turned away.

however,

The woman found herself encountering a solid body, as if she had crashed into steel.

"What!?"

Before Talia could react, an iron arm gripped her neck.

As a feeling of suffocation washed over her, Talia flipped her right hand and pulled out a small knife.

"If I were you, I wouldn't do that."

A familiar voice rang out, and Talia struggled to open her eyes, only to see a familiar face.

Her long, golden hair looked somewhat dirty from the dust.

Her once fair skin was now covered in dust, her expensive white short-sleeved shirt was tattered, and her shorts had a tear in them.

Gino was in a terrible state, but his pale blue eyes flashed with a madness that terrified Talia.

"I heard you wanted to steal my Amber Gold?" Gino had a calm smile on his face, but his iron arm was tightly gripping Talia's neck.

Looking at the smiling young man, Talia broke out in a cold sweat. The woman had no doubt that if she didn't give a reasonable answer, she would die here in the next second!

Talia managed to squeeze out the words from her throat: "No, of course not. I am loyal to you. I was just planning to rush down to check on you."

"Completely loyal?" Gino chuckled. "Does that mean you'd do anything for me?"

"No, that's right."

"very good."

Gino threw Talia aside, and the woman fell to the ground in a disheveled state, her long black hair also disheveled.

Talia was filled with immense fear as she heard Gino slowly say, "In that case, kneel down and crawl before me to prove your loyalty."
