Hearing this explanation, Karl was momentarily speechless.

However, this was exactly the sort of thing one would expect from Ted Grant, better known as Wildcat.

The old man was an unapologetically macho fellow, and that was putting it mildly!

Even in an age when feminism had become increasingly influential, Wildcat remained a perfect example of old-fashioned masculinity.

Just as Karl was about to say something, Wildcat’s Indian stunt motorcycle suddenly accelerated.

Judging by its speed, the old man had absolutely no intention of slowing down!

Instead, he came charging straight toward Karl, who was standing in the middle of the road.

Seeing this, Karl frowned slightly.

What the hell was that old man trying to do?

However, with so many people watching, how could Karl simply dodge out of the way?

He couldn’t afford to lose face!

Therefore, he decisively remained where he stood, folding his arms fearlessly across his chest.

Facing the motorcycle hurtling toward him under Wildcat’s control, Karl showed no intention of retreating whatsoever.

Of course, just because Karl was standing there calmly didn’t mean his subordinates were equally unconcerned.

When they saw their boss refusing to move out of the path of an oncoming motorcycle, they immediately began screaming in astonishment.

Even the miraculous little pig, who had been completely absorbed in eating and drinking, raised her head and looked around curiously.

Wildcat’s motorcycle roared like a furious beast.

Its powerful engine made the ground tremble, as though the machine intended to devour everything in its path.

Behind it, thick clouds of black exhaust smoke twisted and coiled like a ferocious dragon.

The motorcycle continued racing straight toward Karl!

Standing directly in its path, Karl suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to turn around and run.

However, when he considered how humiliating that would look, he silently endured his fear.

Besides, he had magic to protect himself.

Surely nothing too terrible could happen!

Still, who could have imagined that Wildcat would arrive in such an explosive mood and immediately start looking for trouble?

Suddenly, the Indian stunt motorcycle came to a screeching halt barely a step away from Karl!

At the same time, taking advantage of the machine’s tremendous momentum and the strength of his own arms, Wildcat sent the motorcycle into a spectacular 360-degree spin.

The rear wheel swept around until it stopped almost directly against the tip of Karl’s nose!

If it had moved even slightly farther, it might have smashed straight into his head.

Yet throughout the entire performance, Karl remained completely motionless.

He didn’t even blink!

Wildcat, meanwhile, swaggered off his motorcycle, threw his helmet onto the ground, and strode directly toward Karl.

”Long time no see!”

A smile appeared on Karl’s face.

However, his eyes remained fixed on Wildcat’s movements.

For some inexplicable reason, his instincts kept warning him that the man standing before him was extremely dangerous.

And his instincts were absolutely right!

Before Karl could even offer a proper greeting, Wildcat suddenly stepped forward and punched him directly in the stomach!

The attack was astonishingly fast.

Even though Karl had already been on guard, he didn’t have enough time to react before the fist struck him with tremendous force!

Worse still, the power behind that punch was terrifying.

Even the basic magical defenses Karl had activated were completely useless.

Wildcat’s overwhelming physical strength tore straight through them!

”Urgh!”

Karl felt as though his stomach had been turned inside out.

A wave of excruciating pain surged through his body, rushing straight toward his head.

It felt as though someone had grabbed all his internal organs and twisted them into a knot!

What the hell is going on?

We only just met!

What’s with all this hostility?

Countless thoughts flashed through Karl’s mind.

He simply couldn’t understand why Wildcat had suddenly attacked him.

Unfortunately, before he could make sense of the situation, Wildcat’s second punch came crashing toward him!

It was as fast as lightning!

Karl had absolutely no opportunity to dodge.

The attack struck him squarely once again!

This time, the pain was several times worse than before.

Karl felt as though his consciousness itself was about to be swallowed by the agony.

What the hell is wrong with you?

No! If I keep taking punches like this, I’m going to die!

That was the only clear thought remaining in Karl’s mind.

I don’t care why this bastard is attacking me, but I can’t just stand here and let him keep beating me!

Unfortunately, there was a serious problem.

Wildcat’s punches were simply too fast!

Even if Karl wanted to cast a spell, he couldn’t find the slightest opportunity to complete it.

Once a heavyweight boxer of Wildcat’s caliber managed to close the distance, a sorcerer had almost no chance of turning the situation around.

Just as Karl’s consciousness began to grow hazy, something strange suddenly happened.

His eyes seemed to change color.

For a fleeting instant, his awareness felt as though it had separated from his body and was floating in the air.

From that strange perspective, Karl saw Wildcat launch a third punch.

The old man’s fist slammed directly into his face, knocking one of his teeth clean out!

However, a moment later, the entire scene vanished into thin air.

It was as though the attack had never happened!

The brief vision left Karl with an overwhelming sense of dread.

Precognition?

Suddenly, he understood!

It was his innate spell, the Grand Prophecy Spell!

Karl had previously handed the spell’s instructions over to Zatanna because he believed it was completely useless.

However, something destined to demonstrate its power would eventually do so, even without its original spellbook.

The ability hadn’t disappeared.

Instead, it had simply changed!

What was originally supposed to be an actively cast spell had transformed into a passive ability.

And what exactly did this passive ability do?

At unpredictable intervals, it would suddenly activate on its own, allowing Karl to glimpse fragments of the future!

For example, at this very moment, when his life was potentially in danger, the prophetic ability had activated once again.

It had clearly revealed the trajectory of Wildcat’s next attack!

Unfortunately, before Karl could fully process his discovery, Wildcat’s third punch was already flying toward his face.

This attack was even faster than the previous two!

But now that Karl knew exactly where the punch was going to land, he had no intention of letting it hit him.

He shifted his shoulder slightly.

In that instant, Wildcat’s fist swept past his face, missing its intended target!

At the same time, Karl seized the opportunity to unleash his magic.

A powerful magical attack erupted toward Wildcat!

The veteran boxer was already caught off guard by the fact that his most reliable punch had missed.

Karl’s sudden counterattack took him completely by surprise!

The magical force sent Wildcat flying backward.

He was forced to retreat several meters, putting roughly three to five meters between himself and Karl before finally escaping the spell’s impact.

”Hey! Ted Grant!”

Karl roared furiously.

”What the hell is the meaning of this?”

”I invited you here out of goodwill, and the moment we meet, you start throwing punches without saying a word?”

”Is this how a member of the Justice Society is supposed to behave?”

Even as he shouted, Karl was secretly contemplating his newly awakened ability.

Being able to predict an enemy’s attack trajectory was apparently far more powerful in actual combat than he had ever imagined!

Wildcat, however, had no interest in discussing Karl’s magical discoveries.

”You’re asking me why I hit you?”

His voice was filled with anger.

”Before I left, I specifically told you to take good care of Zatanna!”

”And what did you do?”

Hearing those words, Karl immediately fell silent.

He hadn’t expected Wildcat to bring up something like this.

It was true that he and Zatanna had once shared an unusual relationship.

However, because of various circumstances, they had eventually been forced to go their separate ways.

One of them had returned to Gotham City, while the other had continued traveling alone, wandering from place to place.

Seeing Karl remain silent, Wildcat grew even angrier.

He roared impatiently.

”What? Have you suddenly lost your ability to speak?”

”I thought I’d finally found someone who could take Zatara’s place and look after my girl!”

”But you son of a bitch ran back to Gotham City to enjoy yourself!”

”You left my niece wandering around all alone!”

”And now you’ve got the nerve to ask me why I’m angry?”

”Hey! What the hell are you talking about?”

Karl was equally furious now.

He shouted right back at Wildcat.

”I wasn’t the one who wanted to leave!”

”Zatanna was the one who left me!”

”Do you seriously think I wanted us to separate?”

”If she hadn’t broken up with me, we’d probably be running a circus together in Gotham City right now!”

”We could have settled down and stayed there permanently!”

”But what was I supposed to do?”

”It’s not like any of this has been easy for me either!”

Meanwhile, the miraculous little pig, who had been happily drinking milk through a straw, suddenly perked up at the sound of their argument.

Her eyes lit up!

She could practically smell the gossip in the air!

With her snout and little tail sticking out from the pile of food surrounding her, Wonder Woman eagerly turned her attention toward the unfolding drama.

The story of a scoundrel and a lovestruck young woman?

Now this was something worth watching!

The little pig happily settled in, thoroughly enjoying the spectacle.
