Hearing Karl’s explanation, Wildcat didn’t understand him at all. Instead, he frowned angrily.

”You’re giving up over such a minor setback?”

”When a girl says ’no,’ she means ’yes’! If she ignores you, you need to be more persistent! Use your skills, your strength, and your intelligence to win her back!”

”If you’re going to act like such a coward, you might as well be a woman!”

”Today, I’m going to teach you a lesson on behalf of my granddaughter!”

As he spoke, Wildcat stepped forward and swung his fist toward Karl.

However, the attack suddenly came to a complete halt when it was still half a meter away from its target.

It was as though an invisible wall had appeared in the air, preventing Wildcat’s devastating punch from getting any closer.

The ordinary people watching might not have understood what had just happened.

However, the miraculous little pig, who was lying nearby enjoying the gossip, was completely astonished.

This was one of the most fundamental defensive techniques in magic!

The spell created an invisible magical barrier around its user.

Anyone attempting to pass through it would first have to break through the barrier itself.

Furthermore, the defensive strength of such a barrier depended directly on the caster’s magical reserves.

The greater the sorcerer’s magical power, the stronger the barrier would become.

So Karl is actually a sorcerer?

Wildcat had already realized that Karl was using magic.

However, he had never imagined that Karl’s magical abilities would be so powerful that even a full-strength attack from him couldn’t penetrate his defenses.

As a veteran superhero who had once dealt with Doctor Doom, Wildcat was hardly unfamiliar with magic.

But there was something that simply didn’t make sense.

His dear niece, Zatanna, had only begun teaching Karl magic relatively recently.

How could the brat have already developed such astonishing power in such a short period?

With that thought in mind, Wildcat lowered his stance and began moving around Karl.

He rapidly switched between several different fighting positions, launching one attack after another.

Unfortunately, none of them made the slightest progress.

It was obvious that Karl had surrounded himself with some kind of protective magical barrier.

No matter how Wildcat attacked, he couldn’t find an opportunity to get close enough to land a blow.

Meanwhile, Karl adopted an expression of exaggerated seriousness and spoke solemnly.

”All right! Fine! It’s my fault!”

”I shouldn’t have let Zatanna leave, and now you’ve come all this way just to beat me up!”

”If hitting me will make you feel better, then go ahead!”

”I absolutely won’t fight back!”

Although the surrounding spectators had no idea what was really happening, Karl’s apparent courage was quite extraordinary.

After all, he was standing right in front of a legendary superhero and seemingly allowing himself to be beaten without resistance.

And judging by the size of Wildcat’s fists, which were practically as big as dinner plates, getting punched by him was bound to hurt!

Unfortunately, Wildcat was the only person present who knew the truth.

He was practically speechless with frustration.

Karl might have looked like a righteous man bravely accepting his punishment, but the magical shield surrounding him hadn’t weakened in the slightest!

There was absolutely nothing Wildcat could do about it.

After trying several more times without success, the old hero finally shrugged his shoulders and cursed under his breath.

”Forget it!”

”Fighting a sorcerer like you is completely pointless!”

”You hide inside your shell and refuse to stick your head out, yet you still have the nerve to run your mouth!”

”I’ve had enough of this nonsense!”

”No wonder Zee dumped you in the first place!”

Meanwhile, while the two stubborn, macho men continued arguing, the miraculous little pig watching from a distance suddenly perked up.

Her eyes lit up with excitement!

After all, she had been transformed into her current appearance by the wicked magic of the sorceress Circe.

If she wanted to break free from the transformation, she would have to rely on magical power.

Unfortunately, there were only a handful of sorcerers she knew of in the world.

She wasn’t even certain whether she would be able to find someone capable of helping her return to normal anytime soon.

And yet, who could have imagined such an extraordinary coincidence?

Perhaps the Greek gods were watching over her after all!

The very man who had taken her in turned out to be a sorcerer!

What were the chances of something like that happening?

Maybe... just maybe, this man named Karl is the key to restoring my human form!

As Princess Diana contemplated this possibility, Karl and Wildcat were finally beginning to clear up their misunderstanding.

After all, Karl hadn’t been solely responsible for the problems in his relationship with Zatanna.

The two had gone their separate ways for a variety of reasons.

Wildcat’s earlier behavior had largely been motivated by his resentment toward Karl for being too passive and failing to pursue Zatanna more persistently.

Once the circumstances had been explained, the old hero no longer had much reason to continue pressing the matter.

”So... we’re really done fighting?”

Karl asked quietly.

He didn’t want to embarrass himself in front of his subordinates, but at the same time, he still didn’t dare lower the invisible protective barrier surrounding his body.

”What’s the point of fighting anymore?”

Wildcat interrupted irritably.

”You little bastard! You’ve already become so powerful that even my strongest attacks can’t hurt you!”

”What would be the point of continuing?”

Hearing this, Karl finally felt somewhat relieved.

He cautiously stepped forward and asked another question.

”In that case... big guy, what do you think about becoming a judge on Gotham’s Got Talent?”

”We really need a respectable superhero to guide us and help us present history the way it deserves to be remembered!”

”As for the payment, that’s completely negotiable.”

”If you’re willing to join us, we can work something out!”

Wildcat gave Karl an irritated look.

However, a moment later, a wicked smile suddenly spread across his face.

It was as though some particularly strange idea had just occurred to him.

After all, Wildcat was one of America’s most distinguished veteran superheroes.

He was also extremely familiar with legendary figures such as the original Green Lantern and the original Flash.

Even after the Justice League was founded, those pioneering heroes continued to make occasional appearances and remained active in the superhero community.

Through their relationships and influence, they could even affect the decisions of younger heroes such as Barry Allen and Hal Jordan.

Therefore, once the misunderstanding had been cleared up, Karl was eager to put the unpleasant subject behind them and return to the purpose of Wildcat’s visit.

He waited expectantly for the old hero’s opinion.

”You actually want to make a superhero movie?”

Wildcat stared at Karl, clearly wondering what was going through his head.

”I seriously have no idea what you’re thinking!”

He clasped his hands together before continuing.

”Aren’t you afraid that Bat will come looking for you and drag you away?”

”Afraid? Of course I’m afraid!”

Karl answered immediately.

”That bastard has already come after me several times!”

”Every time he shows up, he either smashes my windows or kicks my doors to pieces!”

”He’s destroyed so much perfectly good property that I’m starting to think he’s a walking disaster!”

”But I’m sure you’ve heard the rumors by now!”

Karl suddenly lowered his voice, adopting a conspiratorial tone.

”Apparently, Bat’s back has been broken!”

”There’s even some doubt about whether he’ll ever be able to stand up again!”

”I’m afraid it’ll be quite a while before he feels like coming around to bother me!”

Karl had initially spoken in an exaggerated, old-fashioned manner, but his voice had gradually dropped to a whisper.

After finishing that explanation, he immediately returned to the matter that interested him most.

”So, what’s your decision, old hero?”

”Don’t you want to come and serve as a judge on my show?”

”Look, even that motorcycle of yours is getting a little outdated!”

”Wouldn’t it be better to replace it with a brand-new Harley-Davidson?”

”And that outfit you’re wearing... how many years have you had it?”

”It’s probably time for an upgrade!”

”So why don’t you just—”

Before Karl could finish speaking, Wildcat impatiently waved his hand and interrupted him.

”You really are an idiot, aren’t you?”

”When did I ever say I wouldn’t do it?”

”Besides, if there isn’t a real superhero keeping an eye on things behind the scenes, I’m afraid you’ll end up turning this Batman production into some third-rate romantic comedy!”

”At the very least, I’ll be there to supervise you and make sure you don’t completely disgrace the subject!”
