I Create the League of Heroes in Gotham

After Li Wei sent Dr. Hugo back to the lab, he personally went downstairs to the main gate to welcome the "guests."

There was no other way, as he was the only staff member at the asylum besides Dr. Hugo, and with the doctor's social skills, he might even make enemies out of people who had no grudges.

Standing at the main gate, Li Wei looked at the two people approaching from the entrance, his face plastered with a polite, fake smile.

"Welcome to Arkham Asylum, sirs. Is there anything I can help you with?"

The two people who arrived were a man and a woman, and Li Wei "knew" both of them.

The woman's name was Fish Mooney, and the man's name was Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot, though perhaps his other name was more widely known.

Penguin!

However, at this moment, Penguin was just a hat-carrying lackey, dressed in a black suit that didn't quite fit, limping behind Fish.

"You know me?" Fish's first sentence surprised Li Wei.

As expected of Fish, she possessed an almost supernatural ability to read people's minds!

Li Wei's smile didn't falter.

"Of course, who in Gotham doesn't know Boss Fish of the Falcone Family? May I ask what brings Boss Fish to my asylum today?"

Fish didn't give Li Wei any special treatment despite his flattery.

Her almost supernatural sixth sense told her that the asylum director in front of her was nowhere near as respectful as he appeared.

Behind his smile lay disdain, indifference, and perfunctory politeness...

This was very unusual!

Normal people would instinctively feel fear when meeting a gangster, let alone a mob boss.

Fish wanted to probe what gave Director Li Wei such confidence, but unfortunately, it wasn't the right time.

She was on a mission.

"Director Li Wei, Boss Carmine wants to see you. Come with me," Fish said directly.

As soon as she spoke, the smile on Li Wei's face gradually froze, then disappeared.

"I'm sorry, the asylum is busy with affairs, and I can't leave. If your boss wants to see me, then he can come here."

Cobblepot, who had been standing silently behind Fish, widened his eyes in disbelief.

Did I hear that right?

He wants the Falcone boss to come all the way here to see him?

Isn't that provocation?

It's like lighting a lantern in the toilet – looking for death!

But what happened next made Cobblepot even more astonished.

His boss, Fish, didn't lash out violently. Instead, she nodded as if it were natural.

"As expected, we must have found the right person," Fish paused, then reached into her pocket and pulled out a piece of paper, handing it to Li Wei. "Director Li Wei, this is a gift from Mr. Falcone for you."

Cobblepot: !!!

Since when were gangsters this easy to deal with?

Not only did they not retaliate against provocation, but they even sent a gift!

And it was a gift brought by the underground overlord, Boss Carmine, himself!

Li Wei took the paper and opened it, examining it carefully.

Gradually, his expression became more relaxed.

The paper contained a contract.

An exclusive cooperation contract for criminal psychiatric treatment between City Hall and Arkham Asylum!

"Director Li Wei, all you need to do now is sign it. Mr. Falcone has already taken care of all other issues for you," Fish said with a smile.

Li Wei's smile returned to his face.

"Oh my, this is too much. If your boss wanted to see me, he could have just called. Why did you have to make the trip in person? Really!"

This time, Fish's sixth sense clearly felt that Li Wei's smile was no longer perfunctory and disdainful, but filled with genuine enthusiasm.

Fish: ...

Cobblepot: ...

What a quick change of face! He really is blinded by money!

Fish glanced at Li Wei with disdain. "Let's go, we'll take our car."

Li Wei nodded. Without changing his clothes, he simply put on his white coat and followed the two out of the asylum gates and into the car parked in front.

The journey was silent, with only Cobblepot occasionally glancing at Li Wei through the rearview mirror.

Penguin's small head was filled with big questions. He had no idea who Li Wei was or what made his boss treat him so politely.

Li Wei noticed his gaze, but his eyes kept looking outside the car.

The Falcone Family had managed to find him in such a short time.

From the "welcome gift" Fish brought, it was clear they had already set their sights on him.

The mob's intelligence network was indeed powerful.

He just didn't know if they only suspected him or had already confirmed he was Khada Jhin.

Li Wei didn't want to admit he was Khada Jhin unless absolutely necessary; it would bring endless trouble with no benefits.

However, since the Falcone Family was monopolizing the criminal mental treatment business at City Hall for him, it would save a lot of trouble tomorrow when Dr. Hugo met with the Court of Owls.

They drove the rest of the way in silence, arriving at a nightclub.

The nightclub was incredibly noisy and crowded, and even before entering, one could feel the luxurious and decadent atmosphere.

A line of security guards stood at the entrance, yet they constantly reminded everyone that this was Gotham City, where darkness still lurked beneath the prosperity.

After parking the car, Li Wei got out, led by Fish.

They walked through the bustling crowd of the nightclub, and in its depths, Fish and Cobblepot opened the door to a private room.

"Please, Warden Li Wei."

Entering the room, it was like stepping into two entirely different worlds, separated by just a door.

The noisy sounds of the nightclub were completely blocked out.

The room was very large, almost feeling empty.

Compared to the decadent environment outside, this place was clearly more elegant, but not at all simple.

A white man was sitting on the sofa in the room.

He wore a British gentleman's suit, held a walking stick, his sparse white hair was meticulously styled, and a stoic bald bodyguard stood behind him.

This was the boss of the Falcone Family—Carmine Falcone.

Upon entering, Cobblepot stopped at the doorway.

This was as far as he could go.

Fish, meanwhile, walked over and stood beside the bald bodyguard.

Li Wei walked over to the sofa and casually sat down, looking at the white old man sitting opposite him.

"Mr. Falcone, what business do you have with me?"

Li Wei's actions caused the bald bodyguard to show displeasure, reaching for his waist as if to draw a gun.

"It's alright, Victor," Falcone said, stopping him.

The bald bodyguard, Victor, relented but still eyed Li Wei warily.

Seeing that Li Wei showed no fear, Falcone stared into his eyes and said.

"Warden Li Wei, I have bad news for you. The boss of the Maroni Family, Sal Maroni, is alive, and he's looking for you..."

Chapter Sixteen: A Law-Abiding Good Citizen

"Huh? Why is he looking for me?" Li Wei feigned a bewildered expression, showing no hint of deception.

Hearing Li Wei's answer, the smile on Falcone's face faltered.

Li Wei had inherited Khada Jhin's Hero Template, and his acting skills were convincing enough to fool anyone.

But unfortunately, he had Fish, the "cheat," present.

Falcone turned to look at Fish. Only when she gently shook her head did Falcone's smile return.

"Alright, Warden Li Wei, if you say it has nothing to do with you, then we'll consider it as such," Falcone said, clapping his hands. "I invited you here today because I want you to watch a performance."

"Oh? What performance?" Li Wei remained calm, even showing interest.

He wanted to see what tricks Falcone could pull!

After all, as long as there was no direct evidence, he would never admit to being Khada Jhin.

If he really admitted it, given Bruce Wayne's personality, making a cruel joke about his parents' death would make him pester Li Wei for life!

Whether he could actually harm Li Wei was another matter, but just the annoyance would be unbearable!

As for Khada Jhin's "true" identity, Li Wei had already chosen a scapegoat, but it would take some time.

Coincidentally, this scapegoat was also Bruce Wayne's lifelong nemesis.

After all, when you owe too much, you stop worrying, and when you have too many lice, you don't feel itchy anymore!

As Falcone clapped his hands, the door to the private room opened.

Staff members pushed in a luggage cart covered tightly with a red cloth.

Falcone's bodyguard, Victor, stepped forward, took the cart, and dismissed the staff. The cart was then pushed in front of Li Wei.

Li Wei remained seated on the sofa, watching everything with a cold gaze.

"Warden Li Wei, the performance begins," Victor said with a slightly twisted smile.

Li Wei's expression was indifferent.

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, Viktor yanked the red cloth off the luggage cart!

Inside the cart, a person Li Wei knew all too well was bound tightly.

It was the mayor's secretary who had tried to extort Li Wei back then!

He was completely naked, bruised and swollen, his eyes filled with terror.

A stark contrast to his arrogant demeanor outside the mayor's office before!

Next, Viktor showed Li Wei what a perfect score in human anatomy looked like.

Amidst the mayor's secretary's screams, he was turned into a living anatomy lesson.

Blood pooled everywhere, and the air was thick with the stench of it.

Li Wei remained indifferent.

Only when Viktor called the nightclub staff to clean up the mess did Li Wei turn to Falcone and ask.

"Mr. Falcone, what is the meaning of this? Can I take this as a threat?"

Although Li Wei didn't want any single faction in Gotham to have absolute dominance, if Falcone proved too troublesome, Li Wei wouldn't mind eliminating the problem entirely.

"No, no, no!" Falcone's smile was brilliant. "Dean Li Wei, this isn't a threat, it's my second welcome gift! When you went to the mayor's office, this blind fool was causing trouble."

Li Wei shrugged.
