I Create the League of Heroes in Gotham

The charity gala's symbolic meaning far outweighed its practical one; it was more for show.

As for the other executives of Wayne Enterprises besides Weizhan Pharmaceuticals?

Killing every single one of them would be justified!

The Wayne Enterprises of today was not the Wayne Enterprises that Batman would later control. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it Gotham's greatest evil. Who knew how many wicked deeds were being carried out behind closed doors. The Viper Potion from Weizhan Pharmaceuticals was just the tip of the iceberg!

Li Wei was asking about the consequences of Stan's plan being completed.

If Stan's plan was completed, his own chances of survival would be minuscule, almost zero.

With so much Viper Potion spreading, there wouldn't be enough time to escape the radiation zone!

This silenced Stan.

After all, it was a matter of life and death.

But after only a moment of silence, a broad smile returned to Stan's face.

"I've made up my mind. Some things, someone always has to do them. Some darkness, someone always has to fight against it..."

"Mr. Khada Jhin, please lend me your strength..."

Chapter 29: Good Guy Stan

Since Stan had already made up his mind, Li Wei naturally had no objections.

The two immediately packed their things and began preparing for the evening's activities.

There wasn't much to prepare, really. Thirty liters of Viper Potion, a change of clothes, and a car would be enough.

Everything was readily available.

The next step was figuring out how to sneak into the charity gala.

Wayne Enterprises' charity gala was being held at a luxurious five-star hotel in Gotham City.

The two drove the van Stan had found to the hotel's back alley.

Hotel staff were bustling about, preparing for the Wayne Enterprises charity gala that evening. The amount of food and alcohol required was not small, and many delivery vehicles were coming and going in the back alley. The van they were driving was inconspicuous among the other vehicles.

No one noticed the ordinary van at all.

The two drove around the back alley for a long time.

At first, Li Wei thought Stan was scouting, but by the third lap, Li Wei couldn't help but ask.

"Stan, what are you looking for? If we keep driving around, we might attract the attention of the hotel staff."

Stan scratched his head in distress. "I'm looking for a parking spot. Otherwise, with so many cars, it could cause a traffic jam, and the police will issue tickets."

Li Wei: ...

Stan, have you gone soft from being too good?

You're about to pull off a major event tonight, and you're worried about traffic police giving you a ticket?

Li Wei was speechless, but it also seemed reasonable.

After all, this was Gotham. The good guys and the bad guys were so distinct.

Fortunately, Stan quickly found a parking spot after circling around.

The two disguised themselves as delivery drivers, and the thirty liters of Viper Potion were disguised as absinthe.

After briefly fending off a few hotel staff, the two easily blended into the hotel.

No one would have imagined that someone would want to cause trouble at the Wayne Enterprises charity gala. And by sneaking into the hotel now, the security was naturally just going through the motions.

After blending into the hotel, Li Wei and Stan seized an opportunity when no one was looking and headed straight for the stairs, making their way to the roof.

Relying on Khada Jhin's infiltration experience, they avoided all hotel staff and surveillance areas along the way, successfully reaching the rooftop.

The hotel's ventilation system was located on the rooftop, and upon reaching it, the two easily found the ventilation ducts.

For Stan, a highly educated individual, the ventilation system was not some high-end equipment. He tinkered with it for a bit and soon connected the large barrels containing the Viper Potion to the ventilation system.

All Stan had to do was open the valve, and the Viper Potion would quickly spread to every room in the hotel, naturally including the main hall where the charity banquet was being held.

The entire hotel was booked by Wayne Enterprises for the night, so there was no need to worry about accidentally killing the wrong person!

Li Wei watched quietly as Stan prepared everything.

"Mr. Khada Jhin," Stan suddenly said, "Oh right, I forgot something. Can you do me a favor?"

"Of course," Li Wei shrugged.

Stan took a USB drive out of his pocket. "This contains a hacker program I prepared in advance. Could you please plug it into the hotel's computer? Then I can remotely control it to play at the charity gala. I want to expose the true face of Weizhan Pharmaceuticals!"

"Okay, I'll handle it for you." Li Wei took the USB drive, put it in his pocket, and couldn't help but ask, "Stan, do you think you could also install a timer on the ventilation system? That way, you could ensure your own safety..."

Although Li Wei had his own selfish motives for helping Stan, he still felt that compared to the other lunatics and criminals in Gotham, Stan could be considered a good person. A good person shouldn't have such an ending.

But to his surprise, Stan shook his head when he heard his suggestion.

"No, a timer might still have unforeseen issues. Opportunities are scarce. If I miss this one, I don't know how long it will take to get another chance. I must be here in person to ensure it goes off without a hitch."

"And besides, I've killed people anyway. So many deaths... only my death can draw the government's attention, rather than them just labeling this as murder or revenge..."

Li Wei looked at the determined expression on his face and knew that Stan had made up his mind, so he stopped trying to dissuade him.

Now, Li Wei somewhat understood why Gotham had so many madmen and criminals.

For someone like Stan, living in a dark environment like Gotham, yet holding onto justice and adhering to the law, was undoubtedly an extremely painful experience.

They would either erupt into madness from the pain or sink into despair and become criminals.

Leaving Stan on the rooftop, Li Wei went downstairs.

For him, sneaking into the hotel's central control room alone was easier than bringing Stan to the rooftop.

After successfully inserting the USB drive into the central control room's computer, Li Wei left the hotel.

However, he didn't rush back to Arkham Asylum. Instead, he found a tall building across the street from the hotel and went up to the roof with two bottles of beer.

The wind on the rooftop was strong, as if one could reach out and touch the perpetual gloom hanging over Gotham's sky.

Li Wei opened a beer and took a long swig.

Ah, the beer is cold.

At the same time, it helped Li Wei's complicated emotions gradually calm down.

Here, through Jhin's super vision, he could clearly see Stan on the rooftop of the opposite hotel.

Stan was also sitting on the edge of the rooftop at this moment.

Li Wei smiled and, regardless of whether Stan could see him, raised his beer bottle towards Stan and shook it, as if bidding him farewell.

Would Stan die?

He would die, and yet he wouldn't.

In a sense, from the moment Stan died, his transformation and rebirth would begin.

Wasn't that a good thing?

What was there to be sad about?

Li Wei had long ago designated Stan as a test subject for the werewolf experiment. Dr. Hugo's werewolf experiment had been waiting for Stan to complete the final step of human modification!

When Stan returned, compared to his current desperate struggle against the darkness, he would possess even greater power, completely transforming into a bloodthirsty hunter in Gotham's darkness!

He would make everyone who touched the darkness in Gotham tremble in fear!

What he was watching was not Stan's sacrifice, but a necessary process of evolution.

After figuring all this out, Li Wei felt much lighter.

"I will make you stronger..."

Time flew by, and the sky gradually darkened.

Under the watchful eyes of Li Wei and Stan, people from Wayne Enterprises began to arrive at the hotel.

As more and more Wayne Enterprises executives arrived, the hotel gradually became lively.

The luxurious hotel stood in stark contrast to the homeless people in the alley across the road.

Li Wei suddenly noticed a Rolls-Royce slowly driving from a distance and stopping in front of the hotel.

When the car door opened, someone completely unexpected appeared in his sight.

Bruce Wayne...

Chapter 30: Butler Batman Alfred

Bruce Wayne's arrival was completely beyond Li Wei's expectations.

What if Stan released the Viper Potion and took Bruce Wayne with him? That wouldn't be fun!

In the DC universe, without Batman, wouldn't a lot of the fun be lost?

Who would tell the dark jokes then?

Gotham couldn't lose its dark jokes, just like the West couldn't lose Jerusalem.

Batman couldn't die!

But when Li Wei saw Butler Alfred following behind Bruce Wayne, he finally felt relieved.

In the DC universe, don't underestimate Alfred just because he's a butler. This butler was an ace in the British Air Force's Special Forces when he was young.

His combat skills and related qualities were almost at the peak of normal human physical capabilities.

Butler Batman's most glorious feat was being able to beat up Superman!

With Alfred protecting him, a mere Viper Potion wouldn't be a problem!

The only thing that made Li Wei feel a bit troubled was why Bruce Wayne would suddenly attend a charity gala today?

In front of the hotel.

Accompanied by Alfred, Bruce Wayne slowly entered the lobby.

Although Wayne Enterprises' charity gala was by invitation only, it wouldn't allow people without invitations to enter.

But clearly, Bruce Wayne was not among them.

His face alone was the best pass.

Bruce Wayne's arrival caused quite a stir at the charity gala.

Although they had habitually sent Bruce Wayne an invitation, no one had expected the young master of Wayne, who had just lost his parents, to actually attend.

However, it was worth noting that among all the members attending the charity gala, they were basically all middle and high-level management of Wayne Enterprises; not a single board member was present.

This completely dashed Bruce Wayne's hopes of discussing matters with the board.

In fact, ever since Gordon "mistakenly killed" Mario last time and went to Wayne Manor to confess, Bruce Wayne had gradually realized the root of the problem.

Gotham City had a strong resistance preventing him from investigating the truth behind his parents' deaths.

To fight this resistance, he had to become strong, just as Sheriff Gordon had told him, and accept the inheritance his parents had left him.

Only with Wayne Enterprises as his backing would he have enough power to pursue the truth!

He was here precisely to reclaim control of Wayne Enterprises!
