Batman's Owl Godfather - Chapter 262: Superwoman

Chapter 262 Superwoman (4)

"You know what, today is definitely my unluckiest day!"

Kayla sat at her workstation, chatting with her slacking partner Win Shorter through the company's internal communication software.

"Calm down Kayla, think about it, you've been promoted now, right?"

Win Short is a tech geek who works on the software side of the business.

In addition, he is also one of the few people who knows Supergirl's true identity, which is equivalent to one of Supergirl's logistics team.

"Come to think of it, does the name of this new director sound familiar to you?"

Wen said, "Isn't Bruce Wayne the famous playboy in Gotham City?"

After hearing this, Kayla suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a person.

She opened the browser and searched for news about Bruce Wayne, then her eyes suddenly widened and she covered her mouth.

"No way!"

"what happened?"

Wen noticed Kayla's movement and walked over from his workstation. They were only separated by an aisle.

When Wen saw the photos on the computer screen, he was also dumbfounded.

The Bruce Wayne in the photo is in his thirties, smiling brightly, and his eyebrows and eyes are exactly the same as those of the new director!

Wen instantly felt that he knew the truth.

One is in his thirties, the other is in his teens, they look almost the same and have the same name.

Needless to say.

They must be father and son!

"So he's so powerful!" Wen said excitedly, "Our company is doing well too, the Wayne Group has come to invest!"

"Keep your voice down!" Kayla said in a low voice.

But how could Wen remain calm? According to reports, old Bruce has not appeared in public for nearly a year. Maybe he retired due to some health reasons.

Now that Bruce Jr. has come out and acquired a company to become a director, he might be here to hone his abilities so that he can take over the Wayne family in the future.

Wen immediately decided that he would work hard in the future, never slack off, and perform well in front of Bruce.

Maybe his life will change because of this.

Thinking of this, his expression suddenly became serious.

"Kayla, I have to criticize you now!"

He said, "We come to work in the company and we have to work hard. Don't chat with me anymore. I have a lot of things to do. You should focus on writing code!"

Xiao walked away without looking back, leaving Kaila sitting there with a confused look on her face.

What's wrong with this person?

At this moment, the internal communication on Kayla's computer rang, and a person with an owl head sent her a message.

"Come to my office."

Kayla had never seen this avatar before, and when she clicked on it, she found out it was Bruce.

“It’s really different when you have money.”

Kayla whispered that all the employees used their own photos as their profile pictures, with Bruce being the exception, who used an owl.

That being said, work still needs to be done.

When Kayla knocked on the door and entered Bruce's office, she found that he was holding a newspaper and reading it very seriously.

"Now that you're here, there's no need to close the door, just sit anywhere."

Bruce threw the newspaper on the table and said, "Ms. Danvers, you were Ms. Grant's assistant before. She told me that if I have any questions, I can consult you. Is that okay?"

"should be no problem."

Kayla was a little nervous, afraid of saying something wrong and getting into trouble with Ms. Grant.

"Okay, then I'll just tell you."

Bruce said, "I've been reading all the recent coverage on Cark Media about Supergirl. Don't you think it's a bit too much?"

“This is the direction set by Ms. Grant herself.”

Kayla explained, "She wanted to tie Supergirl and Cark Media together, just like Superman and the Daily Planet. Even the name 'Supergirl' was coined by Ms. Grant."

"So that's it."

Bruce thought for a moment and said, "The situation has changed now. I plan to set up a department to write negative reports about Supergirl. Ms. Danvers, you will write the first article!"

"What?" Kayla suspected she had heard it wrongly, "But Ms. Grant..."

"You are my assistant now!"

Bruce said coldly, "And I've already told Ms. Grant that positive reports won't attract many readers. They must cause controversy and topics in order for readers to be motivated to subscribe."

"Mr. Wayne!" Kayla wanted to argue, "But Supergirl did nothing wrong!"

“That’s why we’re looking for it!”

Bruce said lightly, "Based on her performance when she saved the plane, she is not very reliable. That is why I want to adjust the company's reporting direction. If we only report on the positive side, we will suffer a great loss sooner or later."

At this moment, Kayla almost exploded with anger.

She stared at Bruce, imagining that she had the courage to fire her heat vision directly through Bruce's chest.

What did Supergirl do wrong to deserve such slander?

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wayne!"

Kayla said firmly, "I don't want to criticize a girl who has done nothing wrong. Ask someone else to write this report!"

She had given it her all. Even if Bruce fired her the next second, she would not regret it.

But unexpectedly, Bruce was not displeased by this. He still had that nonchalant expression, as if he had guessed that Kayla would say that.

"Ms. Danvers, I think you are being too protective of Supergirl."

Bruce said calmly, "I hope you can understand that Kryptonians are just aliens, not gods. Calm down. I will pretend that I didn't hear your answer just now. Give me an answer tomorrow."

Kayla walked out of Bruce's office angrily.

Bruce was sitting in a chair, twirling a pen idly, when Katoom flew in from the window.

"Did you reveal your flaws on purpose just now?" Owl asked, "Now others don't know that Supergirl is also a Kryptonian!"

"I just want to see when she will discover this flaw."

Bruce picked up the newspaper on the table and started reading it attentively again.

He was reading the report about Supergirl, but he wasn't reading the text, he was just looking at the pictures.

……

"Asshole, really an asshole!"

Kayla kept muttering and sat back in her seat angrily.

Wen came over naturally, completely forgetting that he had just said that he would work hard.

"What's wrong? Why are you so angry? Did you get scolded?"

That shouldn't be the case. It's Bruce's first day at the company. What's there to scold?

You shouldn't use your assistant to establish your authority.

"Nothing." Kayla didn't want to say more. She just wanted to prove that Bruce's prejudice was wrong!

Supergirl shouldn't be targeted!

She couldn't help but imagine the scene in her mind where Bruce realized he was wrong and burst into tears and apologized to Supergirl.

Thinking about it this way, I feel a lot better.

"Wen, I'm fine..."

Before Kayla could finish her words, she suddenly heard a sharp buzzing sound in her ears. The sound went straight into her ears, like countless needles piercing her eardrums.

She made a pained expression and covered her ears, but it didn't work.

On the other hand, Wen next to him seemed to have heard nothing and kept asking Kayla why she looked like that and whether she was feeling unwell.

A male voice sounded in Kayla's ear.

“I am talking to you on Krypton’s communication frequency. If you can hear me, it means you are a Kryptonian survivor!

"It's painful, isn't it? If you don't come and face me, all the residents of this city will suffer ten times as much!

"I'll be waiting for you at the National City Power Plant!"

"I really want to know how many people have to die before you dare to stand up to me! Daughter of Aluna?"

Kayla stood up suddenly.

Wen, who was standing next to him, was startled, but before he could ask anything, he saw Kayla hurriedly running out of the company.

…Bruce stood at the window, watching an arc across the sky.

Supergirl flew through the clouds at speeds exceeding the speed of sound and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Come on, Katum," Bruce said, "we should catch up!"

……

The events that occurred this time had nothing to do with the Martians, but were an original crisis of the universe.

The Kryptonian girl Kara's spaceship was stuck in the Phantom Zone for twenty-four years, and later she left that place by accident. It was her luck.

But at the same time, she accidentally brought out the prison ship specially designed by Krypton in the Phantom Zone.

There are criminals of countless races in prison, most of whom were sent there by Kara's mother, who is a judge.

Now that they have come to Earth with Kara and have gained their freedom, they will naturally choose revenge.

thump—

Kayla, wearing Supergirl's uniform, landed steadily from a high altitude.

She took off her glasses, untied her hair, and her whole demeanor changed completely.

She is no longer the bullied little assistant Kayla, but a superwoman with a body of steel!

There are cylindrical cooling towers standing in the power plant. Kayla, with her flowing blonde hair and wearing red boots, walks among them, scanning the area over and over again.

"Very smart, choosing an environment full of lead so that I can't see through it."

Kayla exclaimed, "But I can still hear your heartbeat!"

brush--

A figure jumped out from the rooftop behind Supergirl and landed not far behind her.

Kayla turned around and saw the opponent's fist coming towards her.

boom--

The extremely powerful Supergirl was immediately knocked away.

She rolled on the ground several times before she could steady herself.

"hiss--"

As soon as Bruce arrived nearby through Apparition, he saw this scene.

He immediately took a breath of cold air.

No, ladies?

You got frustrated as soon as you landed?!

It's too fast!

The one who attacked Kayla was a burly bald man with strange bone patterns on his body, which were prominent on the surface of his skin and looked extremely scary.

He was carrying a mechanical axe on his back, and his eyes were full of disgust and hatred when he looked at Keira.

He said coldly: "Kara Zor-El, you look so much like Aluna."

"How do you know my mother!" Kayla stood up with her face covered.

"If you were in my shoes, you would also be impressed by the person who put you in jail."

The man twisted his neck, making a creaking sound.

"If I can't kill her, then killing you is the same!

"Remember my name, Vartox, your killer!"

He raised the mechanical axe behind him, and in a flash, he rushed towards Kayla.

Keira quickly dodged to the side, and the mechanical axe brushed past her cloak, creating a gust of wind.

She kicked out, aiming straight at Vartox's abdomen.

Vartox did not dodge or evade, but took the kick head-on and threw a backhand punch.

Keira crossed her hands to block, but was knocked back several meters. Her arms felt numb and the opponent was obviously stronger than her.

Vartox didn't give Kayla a chance to breathe, he suddenly threw the mechanical axe at Kayla.

Keira did a backflip and the mechanical axe flew over her head and stabbed straight into the wall behind her.

Before Vartox could react, Keira rushed towards him, got in front of him in one step, and punched him in the face.

Vartox dodged the punch by tilting his head, then swung his fist and hammered Kayla in the abdomen.

Severe pain instantly spread throughout her body. Kayla covered her stomach and almost lost her ability to fight.

Vartox reached out and grabbed Kayla's neck, lifting her up easily.

"Is this all you have?"

He said viciously, "Just because you have that 'S' tattooed on your chest doesn't make you Superman!"

Vartox slammed Kayla into the power plant, creating a hole in the wall. Kayla fell into the plant, with countless cement blocks pressing on her.

At this time, her body was covered with scars, especially her abdomen, which was in so much pain that she was twitching.

Vartox jumped into the factory, picked up the mechanical axe and held it tightly in his hand.

"If I'm fighting Superman, it would be my honor, but fighting you? It's just practice!"

He kept mocking, stepped on Supergirl's arm, raised the mechanical axe high, and chopped down!

Keira quickly turned her head and barely avoided the axe.

The axe hit the ground, and the huge impact force created a deep pit, and countless cracks spread on the concrete floor.

"You think you can stop me? Any of us?"

Vartox raised his axe again, and this time, he would not miss.

"After you die, your city will be next!"

Kayla struggled but couldn't break free.

The mechanical axe is about to be swung down, and Supergirl's death is imminent.

Suddenly, a red beam shot out rapidly, hitting Vartox's back and knocking him into the wall.

There were footsteps in the distance.

Keira looked up and saw a man in a pitch-black battle suit with a blood-red bat mark on his chest. He had appeared here at some point.

Vartox pulled himself out of the wall, gripping the mechanical axe tightly, and was wary of the uninvited guest.

"Who are you?" he asked solemnly.

There was no answer.

Vartox is not a patient man. Since words cannot communicate, he will communicate with weapons.

He suddenly leaped high into the air, raised his mechanical axe, and was about to chop the mysterious man in half.

But the other party just stretched out his hand gently and cast a spell. The next second, Vartox felt his hands trembling, and his weapon flew out uncontrollably and fell to the ground.

Expelliarmus.

Bruce only now realized that this spell was more useful than he had imagined.

He clenched his hand into a fist and gave a sudden tug, sending Vartox flying to his side.

Bruce grabbed him by the neck and lifted him up like he had lifted Supergirl.

"Are you from Earth?" Vartox heard a low, suppressed voice asking him.

"Ho ho-"

Although Vartox was having difficulty breathing, he still wanted to maintain his honor.

Earthling?

How could he be such a lowly creature!

"Don't insult me..." he managed to say.

"It seems you are not."

Bruce said coldly, in this case, he doesn't need to hold back anymore!
