I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

Moreover, he was elusive and had a large number of local gang followers working for him, leaving the local police helpless for a time.

"So...who do you think should deal with this guy?"

After Amanda finished speaking, she looked at the crowd below.

The group was actually only seven or eight people: Connie, Lyle, Max, a female archer, the rubber man who had just been forced to step aside by Max's gaze, and a few relatively unknown new members.

The other heroes are either tied up in their respective jurisdictions or on important missions outside; the only ones available right now are these few.

"I'll go..."

Connie was about to raise her hand when Max spoke first. Without waiting for anyone's agreement or disagreement, he got up and walked towards the window, saying:

"Remember to send the exact location to my computer..."

Then it flew out of the window and disappeared into the sky.

Amanda sighed upon seeing this, said to Connie, "Look at what your brother has become," and then walked out of the meeting room.

Connie was also helpless.

Since he accidentally killed someone seven years ago, and Lei Ming has completely disappeared.

Max, who had never found Molly, returned from Egypt feeling depressed. He gradually cheered up with Betty's encouragement and then formed the Blue Guard with Anko and the others, bringing her into the group as well.

As the league's reputation grew, so did his popularity and prestige, even surpassing those of Anko and Leona, who were clearly stronger.

His personality gradually changed. He became less talkative, indifferent to others, and often got into conflicts with people, mostly starting the trouble himself.

Over time, no one in the entire Azure Guard dared to provoke him, including the people from the Super Management Bureau. Anke and the others were also busy with their own affairs. After failing to talk to him a few times, they stopped paying attention to him.

In the end, even Betty was disappointed with him and left the league.

Nobody knows what he's thinking right now...

……

At that moment, Max was floating in the clouds, dialing the phone again and again, but no one answered.

This was the hundreds of times he had called Betty.

Putting away his phone, Max silently flew towards England, his mind racing with thoughts.

He knows everyone hates him now, but he doesn't care because he knows he hasn't actually changed; it's just that no one understands him.

Because they all believed that Lei Ming was dead... except for him.

Even Betty thought so, and kept bringing it up, which eventually led to a big fight between the two and a bitter parting.

Lei Ming probably never expected that during the years he disappeared, the people who were most unable to accept the fact of his 'death' were not An Ke or Connie...

It was Max.

He always remembered that Lei Ming had saved his life more than once, and he always remembered the time Dick kicked his inhaler out of his body in that alley... and the words Rusfan, that vampire, had said to him when he was almost dead.

'Max, are you alright?'

He really wanted to tell him that he was in a bad state right now. He had lost his sister and the person he liked. He felt useless.

He was furious every time he saw the overwhelming news online about "Superman is dead" or "Superman = murderer." He even couldn't help but punch people when he heard them discussing Superman's life or death at headquarters.

On one occasion, after getting drunk, he almost burned down the media buildings that published these news reports using his laser eyes.

The lawsuit dragged on for a while and cost a fortune before it was finally settled.

From then on, he became known to others as the irritable, arrogant 'bastard Max' and 'super loser'.

As time went on, he simply went with the flow...

Since you all say so, then I'll show you!

That's what he's thinking now.

He volunteered to go to England to deal with that crazy lunatic because he'd heard Betty seemed to have been there, and he wanted to try his luck...

...

...

Meanwhile, in England, on the other side of the world, it was already late at night, but the city was anything but peaceful; instead, it was filled with intense flames and explosions.

That madman nicknamed 'The Joker' is leading another bomb attack...

He hijacked a medium-sized sightseeing boat, planted time bombs throughout the city with enough power to destroy entire neighborhoods, and left a message saying he wanted to play a game with the police…

For every bomb he defuses, he releases five passengers; for every bomb he detonates, he kills five passengers.

Five bombs have already exploded... but the police haven't even found the location of the next bomb.

……

...

At Rodriguez Manor, Lei Ming was lounging on a beach chair in the warehouse, enjoying a leisurely 'red glow'.

He's been sunbathing for almost half a month now.

Just as he guessed, the light emitted by the Gendaya's 'Royal Eye' could not only be absorbed and transformed by him, but it also caused his stellar energy to gradually 'mutate' and give rise to new abilities.

While he's still far from being at his peak, considering his current strength hasn't fully recovered, it's better than nothing...

However, the occasional explosions around him were incredibly annoying! He had almost gone deaf, yet he could still hear them.

boom! !

Just as the thought crossed my mind, another violent explosion rang out... and this time it was even closer! Right at the station not far from the manor.

Ma is going too far!

Lei Ming ripped off his sunglasses and angrily used telepathy to instantly connect with Sophia, who was making a midnight snack with Elena in the mansion kitchen…

"Aren't you the city's guardian of the night? Aren't you going to do anything about this madman causing explosions everywhere?"

Sofia, who was slicing potatoes, suddenly flinched and accidentally cut her finger, causing a long gash that bled profusely...

Elena rushed over to check on her and found Sophia looking at her with teary eyes... she was about to cry. She quickly comforted her like a child and then went to find the first-aid kit.

Lei Ming, the warehouse keeper, was speechless for a moment, then got up and put on his clothes…

"Never mind, I'll go by myself... and try out my new ability while I'm at it."

……

Chapter Seventy-Six: You F***ing

Throughout the city of London, flames shot into the sky everywhere, and fire trucks and ambulances constantly shuttled through the streets to carry out rescue operations...

Everyone was so frightened by the explosions that were coming from all directions that they hid in their homes, trembling with fear, and dared not go out.

No one noticed that a dark shadow streaked swiftly across the sky above the city.

Lei Mingfei wasn't flying very fast, only around Mach 2.

For the past two weeks, he has been absorbing energy from two types of sunlight every day, which has restored part of his biofield and given him the ability to fly again. However, his current speed is still quite slow and can only be described as barely enough.

Moreover, the 'Red Sun' also gave him new abilities that even he himself couldn't have imagined...

Located about 40 to 50 kilometers away from the manor, in the heart of the Thames, a medium-sized sightseeing boat is quietly floating on the water.

The shore was completely surrounded by London police, searchlight helicopters were circling overhead, and rescue teams were ready on speedboats along the riverbank, but no one dared to approach the boat…

Because all fifty-plus foreign tourists on the ship had been kidnapped by a man nicknamed 'The Clown'.

boom! …

Another explosion rang out in the distance, and flames could be seen shooting into the sky even from a great distance. At the same time, a series of piercing, strange laughs echoed from the deck of the sightseeing boat…

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The man standing on the deck was laughing so hard he was doubled over, in an extremely morbid manner...

He was wearing a purple suit, with wet, medium-length green hair, and his face was covered in white and green paint. His mouth was split from the corner of his mouth to his ears, making him look exactly like a clown killer from a horror movie.

And he was indeed a psychopathic serial killer…

Behind him, on the open ground of the deck, a row of ordinary-looking foreign tourists knelt in neat rows. Masked gunmen were positioned in front of, behind, and to the sides of them, constantly aiming their guns at them, making the police hesitant to take any rash action.

At this moment, the clown suddenly stopped laughing, and while dancing the tango, he put the megaphone to his mouth and slowly spoke to the police on the shore in a strange, sarcastic tone:

"You've lost again..."

According to the game rules…

I need to kill five more people…

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and several gunmen behind him immediately dragged five tourists out from the kneeling crowd, two of whom looked to be children under the age of sixteen!

But the gunman remained cold and ruthless, pushing them to the ground and pointing his dark gun at the fallen hostages right in front of all the police officers on the shore…

"Do not!!"

Seeing this, the sheriff shouted repeatedly into the megaphone, "Stop!! We can talk...!"

But the clown completely ignored the sheriff's shouts and continued dancing the tango, swaying his head...
