Tian Xiaoban held his head with both hands and endured the pain. "It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, damn, what kind of medicine is this, it's so effective!"

After the headache passed, Tian Xiaoban found himself locked in a storage compartment in a warehouse. It was outrageous that there were even brooms and mops!

"Damn, they didn't even clean up before locking someone up!"

Through the barred window he could see the room next to the warehouse where Selena was locked inside, chained to a chair.

It looked like an interrogation room suite. Sitting on the other side of the interrogation table was a... fat little dwarf? (He was estimated to be the same height as Tian Xiaoban now). He was holding a fish in his hand and eating it raw with great relish.

Sitting opposite Selina is the Penguin.

Selina also looked like she had just woken up.

Thinking of what Selina said before she fell into a coma, Tian Xiaoban complained:

"Fuck! This is the first time I've ever been kidnapped! What's more, the Penguin is so bold! He even dared to kidnap Catwoman. Doesn't he know that she is protected by Batman?"

After he finished complaining, he heard voices.

There was actually a voice coming from the other side, with a slight echo. Judging from the pace of the threats, the Penguin Man was probably going to start explaining the reasons. Tian Xiaoban sat by the window and listened carefully.

"Catwoman, I need you to go somewhere. Don't worry, I'm just looking up some information."

"No, I'm not interested at all! Is this your attitude when asking for help? Penguin, you're going backwards as time goes by, even using the kidnapping methods used by gangsters!"

"Didn't the gangsters use their tricks to catch a master thief like you? The useless bunch of Gotham Police Department couldn't accomplish this feat even with all their personnel mobilized, but a few gangsters did it easily, hehe."

Selina was furious. This was a shame! If things went wrong, those hooligans would be able to use her reputation to gain power!

She said loudly: "Shit, this is your attitude! Penguin! You......"

What followed was a long string of Gotham swear words without any repetition, which made Tian Xiaoban feel like he was listening to black rap. It has to be said that Catwoman is quite talented.

The Penguin was not afraid either. When Catwoman stopped to rest, he responded to Catwoman with a rap using dirty words. His speaking speed was even faster. As expected of a leader, he was very eloquent.

The two of them cursed at each other for nearly an hour and finally got tired of it.

The younger brother at the side cleverly stepped forward to pour the red wine. The Penguin took it and took a gulp. After taking a deep breath, he ordered: "Pour her a glass too! Don't pretend to be Catwoman. This lock can't trap you. Have a drink first and then talk."

"Clatter, crash, crash!"

The thin iron chain fell to the ground. Selina twisted her wrist that had been strangled for too long, then picked up the goblet and took a big gulp.

"Tell me what the task is. Whether I do it or not depends on my mood."

“You should have heard this.”

Then, the Penguin began to sing a Gotham nursery rhyme in a strange tone:

“Beware the Court of Owls, watching you wherever you go.

Watch Gotham from the dark, hidden in the low-walled attic.

He is with you in your home and is present on your bed.

Do not mention his name, or his claws will come for your head."

Selina's pupils shrank in fear, and she screamed, "Are you crazy?! Are you going to provoke the Court of Owls?!"

The Penguin slammed the table in anger!

"They are the ones who are provoking me! I have been cooperating with them for half a year! Every time I do business with them, I lose money. As a result, those owls came to my Iceberg Restaurant, killed all my brothers, and threatened me! I can't stand this!"

"?" Selina looked at him like an idiot. "Then what do you want to do? Going against them is courting death! If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!"

Chapter 8 The Gene of Sudden Change in Painting Style

"Don't worry. I'm just asking you to help me steal some of their dirty laundry! The Court of Owls is organized by some of Gotham's wealthy people. There's enough dirty laundry on each of them! Enough to bring them down! When the time comes, I can use that dirty laundry to negotiate with them..."

Selina shook her head frantically, interrupting Penguin's mindless chatter:

"Haha, no no no! I will not participate in this stupid plan! I still want to continue living in Gotham, and I don't want to die!"

Selina stood up and was about to leave without looking back.

The Penguin tried to impress her with words:

"Have you ever thought that once you have the dirt on those guys, you can control them! Just think about it, as long as the Court of Owls becomes yours! The whole of Gotham will listen to you!"

Since the boss has spoken, the younger brother will naturally stop Catwoman.

Selina curled her lips in disdain. She felt that there was definitely something wrong with the Penguin's brain!

Trying to use unequal power to threaten the other party's interests and obtain things that you cannot control is stupid! It's really stupid!

"Penguin, is your brain filled with Joker gas? No wonder it's filled with madness and exhaust!

Black Mask didn't dare to target the Court of Owls even when he was at his peak. What's your reason? Is it because of those ridiculous scandals? Or because you're the Penguin? Hahahaha, stop kidding!

"Your power is something they can easily create. You want to threaten them with something they can easily create? Idiot!"

Tian Xiaoban's brows twitched as he was eavesdropping. He felt like he shouldn't be listening to this, a conversation that needed to be silenced.

"What the hell! Is the Penguin in this world so crazy? He dares to mess with the Court of Owls!?"

Tian Xiaoban felt his scalp tingling when he thought about the major events involving the Owl Court.

The Penguin was not angry when Catwoman scolded him. He knew that he looked a little crazy, but in fact, he had already expected Catwoman's reaction:

"Hahaha, Selina, Selina, I'm not stupid enough to carry such a deadly thing by myself. Have you forgotten the big bat?"

Selina frowned when she heard this: "Batman? You want to drag him into this! Even if he participates, he may not be able to win, the Court of Owls!"

The Penguin smiled slyly and said in a cheerful tone, "How can you say he was dragged into this? He thinks he is the Dark Knight.

I'm just a caring citizen, just wanting to let the righteous bat know that there is such a big dark organization in the city he protects. Hehe...

A crazy organization that relies on capturing homeless people, orphans, and the mentally ill for human experiments. Bats don't care whether they have money or not.

I think he would be very interested.”

Selina was silent. Indeed, Batman was just that kind of person. Even if he knew it was a conspiracy, he would still do it!

After thinking for a moment, Selina felt that Batman would confront Owl sooner or later, so it would be a good idea to help him collect some evidence first.

"Which ones do you want me to steal from?"

Seeing that Catwoman had given in, the Penguin said without hesitation that the wealthy families he had worked with in the past six months were all members of the Court of Owls!

"The Bowers family, the Moya family, and the Elliot family, the people I have deals with are from these three families."

Selina made note of these families in her mind and said, "Okay, I'll take some time to investigate in the next few days! Now we can let him go!"

"Who?" The Penguin blinked, then he said with a grin, "Oh, that little boy. Hahaha, don't worry, he will be safe here! I will let him go after you complete your mission!"

Selina thought: That's fine! Anyway, that brat is capable of escaping. With that weird watch, he will definitely be able to run away. It's better to stay here for a few days to save trouble. She thought of the bombed safe house again, and her anger rose.

Selina suppressed her emotions, nodded, turned around and left. This time, no blind brothers tried to stop her.

"So... easy to talk to?"

Now it was the Penguin's turn to be depressed. As the saying goes, if you ask for a high price, you will get a low return. He was planning to use Tian Xiaoban as a bargaining chip to make another deal with Catwoman, but she just left so easily.

"Hey, I told you, Catwoman and Batman must be having an affair! She's so anxious to help Batman collect evidence. The little boy is just a toy, how could he be Catwoman's lover? It seems like it won't work if you want to trade with that kid."

The eight strong men raised their eyebrows and smiled knowingly at the Penguin's humor.

Tian Xiaoban, who was eavesdropping on the sidelines, said: "..."

"Fuck, why are you talking so loudly? Not many people are listening! He must be doing it on purpose! Penguin, just wait for me!"

Tian Xiaoban was shaking with anger, and was already planning in his mind that he must find an opportunity to put a sack on the Penguin Man and give him a good beating!

"Little broken watch, little broken watch, I know you are intelligent, although not very smart. But! I am now facing a group of very bad people. Please help me and give me a gene that can help me escape from this predicament. Do you understand? OK?"

The green light emitted by the Omnitrix flashed, as if saying: Got it.

Tian Xiaoban didn't know if this would work, so he simply turned on the Omnitrix. After the movement rose, he didn't twist it, but pressed it directly!

"Oh!"

The green light became brighter and brighter, emitting from the storage room unstoppably.

"What the hell is going on?"

The Penguin Man and the others felt that everything in their sight suddenly turned green, and the place where the green light came from was... the storage room of Guan Xiaogui!

"You guys, go see what's going on!"

"Yes."×8

The eight strong men ran towards the storage room. When they looked inside through the window, they found that it was empty!

There is no one left!

"Boss, that kid ran away!"

"What!!! Why don't you chase them now!"

"But...but, Boss."

One of the burly men squeaked and said, "There is no sign of damage here. The guy disappeared out of thin air! Even if we want to look for him, we don't know where to look!"

The Penguin Man stepped on his lame leg and hurried over.

When the Penguin saw that there was no sign of damage in the storage room, he was stunned.

Could such a big person possibly turn into a fly and fly away?

…………

At this moment, just under the ground of this storage room, a very square...humanoid creature was frantically pulling stones with his invincible right hand.

Tian Xiaoban was transformed by the Omnitrix into a horrible, very horrible, extremely horrible creature.

The creature's name is, Steve!

(MC Steve, a cube-shaped man with brown skin, purple eyes, wearing a cyan blue shirt and purple blue jeans!

He has many titles: Three Realms Wanderer, Dragon Slayer, Speedrunner, Earth Digger, Block Master, Sleepless One, World Destroyer!)

His invincible right hand can break anything and can smash everything. Anything that is broken by his right hand will turn into a block!

Steve's strength is extremely terrifying. He can dig more than 5 tons of blocks per second. He can also move around freely with these 5 tons of blocks on his back and build a safe fortress several thousand meters underground.

Not only that, Steve can also use various blocks to create anything he wants! It's no exaggeration to say that he is the God of Creation!
