Chapter 210: Steve Trevor

Steve felt scared when he saw Jack's gaze, so he quickly let go of Diana's hand and moved away to put some space between them.

He could tell that there was some connection between these two people.

Ignoring Steve, Diana glanced at the distant sea and asked, "What about those... planes?"

"They went back where they came from," Jack replied casually as he walked over, naturally taking Diana's hand and intertwining their fingers.

Diana was a little surprised at first, but she quickly got it and gave him an exciting smile. She didn't resist and allowed him to hold her hand.

Steve stood off to the side and watched the obvious couple. He felt like he did not belong there and awkwardly turned away.

However, this feeling didn't last long.

The sound of running horses got closer, and soon two rows of fierce Amazon warriors led by Hippolyta and Antiope came charging forward.

Steve was clearly scared and instinctively put up his hands as a sign of surrender, but it did not help.

"Capture him!"

Hippolyta commanded with a serious expression, and her guards immediately stepped forward, quickly approaching Trevor.

"Wait, I..."

Bam

Poor Trevor didn't even finish his sentence before receiving a powerful punch.

Maybe it was the result of the plane crash, or maybe Amazon women are just naturally violent, but that one punch put Trevor back to sleep.

He had only just woken up a few minutes before.

After tying Steve up tightly and taking him away, Hippolyta dismounted and approached.

"Thank you for everything you've done."

She had clearly witnessed what had just happened, but compared to those people, she was more curious about something else.

"Are you a Kryptonian?"

Hearing the word "Kryptonian" from the mouth of the Amazon queen surprised Jack.

He looked at her, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "I don't mean to ask, but... how do you know about Kryptonians?"

"Heh, Kryptonians are easy to recognize," Hippolyta smiled and shook her head.

"Kryptonians who have bathed under a yellow sun are powerful. I've seen abilities similar to yours more than once."

"Oh?"

This piqued Jack's interest. "Can you tell me more? Have you encountered other Kryptonians like me? Are there many of them? Why have I never come across any?"

He genuinely wanted to know.

In fact, a Kryptonian who bathes under a yellow sun should become very strong, and since they can travel between galaxies, there should be a lot of yellow suns for them to find.

However, whether in movies or comics, there weren't many Kryptonians similar to Superman.

Jack was unclear about the reasons behind this, so he asked.

Hearing his question, Hippolyta's expression became complicated, a mixture of regret and perhaps a hint of relief.

"In fact, there aren't many Kryptonians like you. I don't know the exact reasons, but Zeus once said that while they possessed unique talents, genetics made them lose their way."

"In reality, all those Kryptonians who absorbed the power of a yellow sun, no matter how powerful they were, they all died!"

"Died?!"

This answer left Jack extremely surprised.

It wasn't easy for a Kryptonian who absorbed the power of a yellow sun to die.

What was going on?

Just as he was about to ask further, Hippolyta shook her head and sighed, "That's all I know. For the rest, you'll have to ask Zeus. After all, you're a Kryptonian, aren't you? You should have a better understanding than me."

She looked at him with a hint of confusion.

"On, because I was not born on Krypton, so..."

Jack didn't know how to describe it.

Genetically modified? It sounded a bit strange.

Hippolyta just nodded without asking more questions.

She glanced at Diana, who was watching from the sidelines and discreetly glanced at their holding hands.

She let out a barely noticeable sigh and turned to climb on her horse.

"We are going to interrogate that man. Do you want to see?" she asked.

"Can I?"

Jack's eyes lit up, eagerly following along.

"I really want to see."

On the side, Diana looked at the smile on Jack's face and felt a strange sense of familiarity, as if she had seen it somewhere before...

Yes!

When Steve was being beaten just now, he had the same smile.

It was like the last time when Jack was being interrogated in the palace, but this time it was poor Steve who was tightly bound on the ground.

Hippolyta had someone bring the Lasso of Truth, and in no time, Trevor was bound once again.

"Tell us your origins! Your name! And... who were those people just now!" Hippolyta demanded.

Bound by the Lasso of Truth, Steve tried to resist but realized he couldn't control his own mouth.

"I... I'm Steve Trevor, a pilot from the American Expeditionary Forces, serial number 8141921."

"I... I'm a spy! I assisted the British intelligence agency in infiltrating and stealing evidence of General Ludendorff's secret research on chemical weapons."

In a corner, Jack and Diana crowded together, with Jack showing great interest in the scene. It was actually quite funny.

However, Diana was different.

With each piece of information from Trevor, her expression became increasingly anxious.

When she heard about a war causing death and injury to millions of innocent people across half the world, she couldn't sit still any longer.

"You knew about this!"

Diana first turned to Jack beside her, questioning him with a serious expression.

As someone who came from the future, he should know about these things.

"Um..."

Jack, who was happily watching the events happen, didn't expect to suddenly become the center of attention.

Faced with Diana's questions, he stuttered, his face blank.

"Well... Firstly, I don't know what year it is outside... but if he's here... then it must be true. I didn't mean to hide it from you, Diana..."

However, Diana didn't listen to his explanation at all.

She forcefully let go of his hand and walked up to her mother, urgently saying.

"This is definitely the work of Ares, Mother. He's still alive, and he has started another war in human civilization. We must stop him."

Hippolyta remained silent.

She first waved her hand to have Steve, who had finished confessing, taken away.

Then, she looked at Jack, who had a helpless expression, before finally turning to her determined daughter.

"I knew this day would come."

She stepped down from the throne, gestured for everyone to leave, and said to Diana, "Come with me."

Then she glanced at Jack.

"You, too."

With that, she took the lead and walked out of the palace.

Diana followed without hesitation, while Jack, who originally wanted to explain to her, realized she simply ignored him.

Seeing this, he sighed deeply, knowing Diana's personality.

She could tolerate anything except lying.

She probably thought Jack had deceived her, so...

Well, the road to win back his wife would be long and difficult.
