BONUS Chapter brought to you by, the one and the only, KingSpy25i, enjoy!

“She is not the real Phantom Kid, she is Kid’s sidekick- Poison Ivy!” 

The Riddler’s words were shocking, and Talia’s face changed dramatically. 

“Nigma, what are you saying?” 

Without the Riddler repeating himself again, “Phantom Kid”, surrounded by four shadow warriors, showed a helpless expression. 

“My identity has been exposed… I understand, then I will act according to the plan, Batgirl!” 

She raised her hand to her ear and opened her mouth slowly. 

Sure enough, a female voice sounded from her mouth.

Although no one could confirm that Phantom Kid is a male, Talia could already be sure that the person in front of her is not the real Kid at this time. 

The Riddler wouldn’t be confused on such matters. 

What’s more, the person’s actions and words just now have revealed it all. She must be wearing some kind of hidden contact device in her ears, and she has been in contact with someone since the beginning. 

She has fooled everyone. 

“Go ahead and grab her!” 

The shadow warriors moved once they heard the order. They took out their weapons almost at the same time and rushed towards the fake Kid. 

“Boom!” 

When the shadow warriors’ attack was about to hit “Phantom Kid”, vines suddenly burst out from under the floor, binding the shadow warriors’ hands and feet firmly. 

“Phantom Kid’s” figure has suddenly been covered by countless vines, and when the vines dispersed, “Poison Ivy” emerged! 

The underground laboratory is entirely made of a superalloy. It’s extremely sturdy.

With Pamela’s current ability, she is only able to break the floor by converging the plants at close range. 

If she were above the ground, she could not shake these alloy barriers with all her strength. 

But now she’s underground! 

The Riddler’s mind was full of Poison Ivy’s pictures holding the communicator hidden in her ear with her hands. He instantly thought about the decryption process of “Phantom Kid” a few minutes ago.

“Kid” does this every time he sees a new riddle, reading it out loud.

Presumably, Poison Ivy read the riddle, informing her companion about it, and then cracked the mechanism of the first three statues under the guidance of her companion. 

The real reason why the last statue could not be cracked is probably that there was not enough time in the end for Poison Ivy to convey the three riddles in full, or at least to wait for the full answer.

“Whew!” 

At this time, a raging flame erupted, burning the vines that bound the shadow warrior. 

It turns out that the Riddler noticed the presence of Poison Ivy when he was researching for information about Phantom Kid, and deduced that using fire against her would have miraculous effects. 

So, he specially prepared a flamethrower on the mechanism, but it was not used because Poison Ivy had come alone in the form of Phantom Kid.

Shadow warriors are not normal people after all. After witnessing the supernatural power that Poison Ivy held, they still maintained a strong will to fight. 

They were even more attentive, taking advantage of the sharpness of the weapons in their hands to chop down the flying vines. 

The Riddler held the flamethrower in both hands and supported them from the rear. 

The flames were too much of a threat to Pamela, who had not fully awakened her abilities. 

Soon, Pamela was at a disadvantage. 

She mused in her mind, «She should be almost here…»

“Hey! It’s illegal to burn plants!” 

Suddenly, a female voice came from the entrance of the passage. 

Pamela breathed a sigh of relief. «She came just in time.»

“Mr. Nigma, I think I have to destroy your weapon.” 

The Riddler turned around and instantly froze in place. 

He saw a woman wearing a female version of the bat suit appears in front of him. 

Not a single piece of the familiar Batsuit was missing.

“Batman…” 

The Riddler muttered to himself, his face was pale, and his facial expressions were quite complicated. 

There was no telling what memories came back to him. 

Naturally, Barbara would not miss this good opportunity. She skillfully threw the Batarang and accurately hit the gas tank of the flamethrower behind the Riddler. 

“What!” 

The Riddler woke up suddenly, but it was too late. 

“Boom!” 

The Batarang sparked when it pierced the gas canister, instantly igniting the gas canister. 

The Riddler was blown to the ground. Although he was wearing a protective suit, guarding him against death, he suffered severe burns. 

“Damn, Batman actually sent a little girl to deal with me, how dare you look down on me like this…” 

The Riddler resisted the burning sensation on his body and struggled to stand up. 

“I still have my last secret weapon that works only… on Batman… and you’re a bat too…” 

The Riddler took out a remote control from his arms, and there was only a single red button on it. 

The explosion just now did not cause the remote control to malfunction, and it maintained its good quality. 

An ominous premonition surged in Talia’s heart, who had watched the situation escalate from the beginning. 

It was neither for the instant defeat of her own carefully trained Shadow Warriors in front of the Poison Ivy nor for the woeful state of the strong support of the Riddler.

It wasn’t even for the impending defeat of her own side.

There was just one thing in her mind. 

That is, Phantom Kid who put down the notice and came to steal the nuclear bomb is actually Poison Ivy, so where did the real Phantom Kid go? 

Poison Ivy and Batgirl are clearly helping Kid. 

With these two teammates, it would be too easy for Kid to defeat Talia’s group. 

But why didn’t he show up here? 

Wasn’t his target the nuclear bomb? 

Or is it that Phantom Kid didn’t come to Gotham from the very beginning, and everything was just performed by the two girls in front of him? 

The more Talia thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. 

Until she remembered someone who shouldn’t have been ignored. 

Lucius Fox. 

“Could it be that Phantom Kid found out about that!” 

There was a storm in Talia’s mind, and she knew she couldn’t stay still any longer… 

On the other side, Bane ran back to the Knightsdome Arena with a blood-covered Domino. 

Apart from their own home base, he had no other place for them to temporarily hide. 

On the central football field, Bane put Domino on the lawn. His face was calm. 

“This is where you want to come, you don’t have to keep pretending.” 

Hearing this, Domino showed a surprised expression. 

He wondered, “Boss, what do you mean by that?” 

“The wounds on your body are very realistic, there is no flaw in either the bullet holes or the blood flowing out.”

Bane said slowly. 

“However, the smell of blood reveals your true condition!” 

“I’m wearing a mask, but that doesn’t mean my sense of smell isn’t acute.”
