Black Panther was scratching his head awkwardly for he had no idea how he ended up in this place.
Originally, his supercats came for him in an attempt to rescue him.
Even though their powers afforded supercats the convenience of moving around unrestrictedly, both Black Panther and Xiao Ming were still restrained by their electric collars. Unless the master control permitted the removal of the collar, any other attempts at it would result in it emitting a copious amount of electricity, sufficient to kill most people.
Hence, Black Panther had not planned to escape when his cat came for him. Instead, he planned to remove his collar with his own power.
However, when he activated his power, he found himself surrounded by a group of strangers who he had never met in his life.
The situation turned even more bafflingly after hearing what Zhao Yao said. Black Panther stared at him with a confused look and asked, "Do I know you?"
Zhao Yao could only slap his hand over his forehead out of anguish.
Meanwhile, Ah Kong and the remaining wardens had already gotten on their feet and were walking in the cell's direction.
With their eyes locked onto this unfamiliar man, they asked, "Hey kid, who are you?"
The tension in the air was palpable. Regardless of who Black Panther actually was, the very fact that he had barged into this place meant that he was not going to leave unscathed.
Black Panther was no idiot and immediately detected the hostility arising from their approach. With his brows locked together, Black Panther mumbled, "D*mn it, did I accidentally enter the warden's resting area?" Immediately, he grabbed onto Xiao Ming before disappearing.
Bam!
"Ahhh..." Zhao Yao moaned as he pinned Black Panther down with his death glare, "What the f*ck was that for?"
Black Panther raised his shoulders in an awkward shrug before replying, "I'm so sorry but I'm only able to teleport to this area."
"What the f*ck man..." Zhao Yao mumbled under his breath as he let out a series of violent coughs.
Black Panther was still rather concerned for his condition and asked, "Are you okay?"
Zhao Yao threw his arm forward and intercepted Black Panther's hands before screaming, "Just get out of my sight! Do not come near me!"
Bam! Vortexes of violent wind emerged from the apostles' bodies as they ran toward Black Panther's direction.
Despite their very best efforts at evading the punches, both Black Panther and Xiao Ming were still overwhelmed by the attacks. Zhao Yao knew they could not hold on for long and could only sigh in despair before he gave a flick of his fingers. With that, the invisible deflective field emerged and unbolted the heavy iron gate.
"Maybe I should just let Black Panther and the rest escape. A chaotic prison might actually help me in completing the mission." Zhao Yao thought about it before deciding, "Let's get it on then."
Bam! With one last punch, the lock came loose and the gate swung open to Black Panther's delight. His eyes gleamed with excitement as he darted for the exit.
However, this all-important exit might easily turn into the gates to hell. With all eyes locked onto their movement, Black Panther's escape commenced.
Immediately, members of Talon activated their power simultaneously, turning the violent gusts of wind into a menacing tornado. With its monstrous strength, the tornado shot straight towards Black Panther's position.
Black Panther's jaw hit the ground when he saw the disaster before his eyes. Hence, he grabbed onto Xiao Ming before disappearing once more.
Bam! The combined strength of their powers was incredible. The impact of the violent explosion was enough to contort the prison bars into all sorts of shapes. Black Panther's heart skipped a beat when he noticed the devastation they created. However, he suddenly collapsed to the floor from an intense pain radiating from his bruised palm.
Zhao Yao looked towards him with a smug smile spread across his face, "Hey, are you okay?"
Tears welled up in Black Panther's eyes as he observed Zhao Yao's lower back, "Hey bro, I think you might have a few kidney stones in your body. Your back is even harder than cement!"
"You are the one with kidney stones, r*tard." Zhao Yao scoffed with a scowl. Zhao Yao purposely activated a deflective field above his kidney in order to defend himself against Black Panther's blind attack, before shouting, "Just get out! Leave from where you came from!"
Black Panther's chest tightened with fear when he watched Ah Kong's gang inching towards him with the tornado swirling behind them. He shook his head and explained, "I can't escape! You're the only spot that I can teleport to!"
"F*ck you! You can teleport to all of your family members!"
A glimmer of hope flashed across Black Panther's face as he mumbled, "How did you know that I could teleport to my family? But it's no use! None of them are here! They don't even answer any of my calls!"
"Alright, alright!" Zhao Yao interrupted him with his hand pressed against his hip, "So you don't have any brothers here, is it?" Zhao Yao's pupils constricted into vertical slits before invisible waves swept off in all direction. Sixth Sense was triggered.
"All of you are long lost brothers! All of you are long lost brothers! All of you are long lost brothers!"
However, Zhao Yao was not absolutely confident in his abilities and could only pray for its success, "Please, let it work."
Meanwhile, Black Panther's expression had changed radically as he looked expectantly towards his surroundings, "I can feel it... I can hear it... all my brothers are calling for me!"
A delighted smile tugged at Zhao Yao's lips as he thought, "Did it succeed?"
Meanwhile, Ah Kong and the gang were already preparing for their next wave of attack. This time around, the swirls of violent wind had already morphed into a huge dragon encircling their bodies. It was as if the dragon itself was howling as it turned more and more tangible. You could even notice the distortion of space around it.
They had no intentions of allowing Black Panther to escape. They were going for the kill.
However, Black Panther instantly materialized behind one of the wardens, with his fist thrust into his lower back. The man let out an agonizing scream as he collapsed to the floor. Consequently, the menacing dragon began to slowly disappear from the air.
Ah Kong and the rest lout a deafening roar when they noticed Black Panther's sneak attack. They immediately tried to direct their next attack at Black Panther but he was too fast for them. In a split second, he had appeared behind Ah Kong with his fist slammed against his lower back
"D*mn it, be careful of what's behind you!"
"This guy knows how to teleport! Be careful! Do not hurt yourself or the people around you!"
"Be extra careful with your kidney! He always aims for it every single time!"
"But isn't he our brother? Why do we have to attack him?"
"Even our best brother should not infiltrate this place without permission!"
Black Panther's peculiar ability was renowned for its speed and quickness. However, he was not without his favorite weapon, rendering his attack extremely weak. On the other hand, Ah Kong and the gang were affected by Zhao Yao's Sixth Sense. Hence, both parties could not deal the finishing move to each other. They could only attack and retreat simultaneously. Soon, they had disappeared into the depths of the tunnel.
Zhao Yao watched the intense fight disappearing beyond the bend and thought, "Did it actually succeed? However, this illusion is in complete contrast with their memories and knowledge. Hence, it should wear out pretty soon!"
Zhao Yao looked around him and found himself surrounded by confused looking inmates and the tanned teen who had not moved a single inch since Black Panther's abrupt arrival.
The inmates looked at the warden-less scene and the opened gates before a chorus of cheers erupted from them. Immediately, they ran straight for the exit and made their escape.
The prisoners paid no attention to the tanned teen. After all, they were without their superpowers and he didn't seem to be much of a threat. Hence, they simply bolted towards the exit which fitted Zhao Yao's plan to a tee.
Zhao Yao too sauntered out of the cell, but he did not leave just yet. Instead, he approached the sitting teen that seemed deep in thought.
