Creating the League of Heroes in Gotham

The Arkham district development plan—when the Waynes were still alive, their plan for the city designated the Arkham district as the last undeveloped area in Gotham City, and also the most chaotic place in the entire city.

Of course, chaos and profit are not mutually exclusive.

This entire proposal represents enormous profits!

The introduction of this proposal was like lighting a powder keg on the battlefield.

The entire Gotham exploded!

The Maroni Family and the Falcone Family, whose relationship had been increasingly tense recently, finally went to war!

Either side hoped to swallow the profits from the Arkham development plan all by themselves!

Gotham's two major gangs began to attack each other in all aspects, trying to cripple the other's strength as much as possible.

The conflict had even escalated from covert attacks to open warfare, especially within the Arkham district, where deaths and injuries were an everyday occurrence.

Li Wei beckoned to Stan.

"Come, Stan, follow me. I'll take you to those gangs..."

Stan forcibly suppressed his body's craving for blood and followed Li Wei into the elevator, exiting Arkham Asylum.

But he could feel his body gradually losing control. The blood he had just drunk was not enough to quell his body's thirst for blood for long!

As Li Wei led Stan out of the gates of Arkham Asylum and into the moonlight, Stan's body finally lost control again!

"Awooo..."

Stan let out a mournful wolf howl at the hazy moonlight in the sky.

He could clearly smell the sweet scent of blood wafting from the distance!

Without any need for Li Wei's guidance.

Stan's eyes glowed red, he dropped to all fours, and like a beast, he sprinted rapidly in the direction of the sweet scent!

"I smell blood..."

The mad dog... is out of its cage!

Chapter 36: We Meet Again, Stan!

Stan's body had undergone an unknown mutation under the effects of the alchemical potion and Alchemy.

Although his outward appearance largely retained a human form, both his behavior and instincts were closer to a beast when his body lost control and he lost his reason.

He ran on all fours through the Gotham night, his scarlet eyes filled with a thirst for blood.

Stan didn't understand why he had become like this, but he craved killing, the feeling of tearing apart living things before him.

Especially the sensation of blood pouring down his throat, which he found intoxicating!

More intoxicating than the night wind that brushed past his ears in the darkness!

Li Wei followed Stan at a moderate distance, watching the figure moving at high speed like a phantom ahead.

"Soon, soon, you will become perfect..." Li Wei muttered to himself.

Although Stan was fast, for Li Wei, it was just so-so. The physical enhancements brought about by the combination of three different Hero Templates were enough to allow him to crush any single Hero in all aspects, let alone Stan, who had not yet inherited a Hero Template.

Soon, Stan stopped.

Li Wei, who had been following him, naturally stopped as well.

The smell of blood in the air began to thicken, and the sporadic sound of gunfire could be heard from the alley ahead.

"Awooo..."

Stan let out a strange cry to the night sky, then charged into the alley.

Li Wei "saw" the scene in the alley even before Stan. Coincidentally, an Invisible Lotus was attached to the wall in a corner of the alley—it was the Mass Infatuation that Li Wei had previously set up all over Gotham!

In the alley, a group of gangsters were fighting with firearms.

These gangsters were clearly divided into two factions.

Although Li Wei hadn't left the asylum for the past few days, he knew that these two factions were the Maroni Family and the Falcone Family, who were currently "fighting fiercely."

When Stan's roar sounded, the fighting in the alley even paused for a moment.

"Fuck, how can there be a wolf in Gotham!" a Maroni Family gangster cursed under his breath, then picked up a spare magazine, reloaded, and was about to start shooting at the opposite side again.

His brother, who was also one of the Maroni Family's capos, had recently been killed by the Falcone Family.

Of course, avenging his brother was only a small part of the reason; the larger part was for the Maroni's reward. Maroni had promised to reward these thugs based on the number of Falcone Family members they killed.

But when he finished reloading and looked up again.

What appeared before him was an incredibly ferocious face.

Although it was a human face, it was like that of the most insane beast!

Scarlet eyes, jagged teeth, he could even smell the bloody breath emanating from the other party!

"It was your blood that summoned me..." A muffled whisper squeezed out from Stan's throat.

His heart skipped a beat in that instant.

"Fuck! What the hell is this thing!"

By the time he reacted, he raised his gun and pulled the trigger, wanting to empty a clip into the other party.

Having operated in Gotham's underworld, he always believed in one principle: no matter what the hell it was, a clip of bullets would be enough to solve it. If not, then two clips!

But clearly, he had miscalculated this time!

Bullets spewed from the muzzle, the muzzle flash illuminating the other party's face.

At such close range, it was practically pressed against Stan, and it was too late for Stan to dodge.

Of course, he didn't need to dodge!

The bullets hit Stan, kicking up a cloud of blood mist on his body.

But that was all.

Stan pushed through the bullets, opened his mouth, and bit directly onto the gangster's neck!

"Riiip!"

A dull tearing sound echoed as the gangster's carotid artery was shredded, blood splattering everywhere!

After a few futile kicks, he met his end!

He never understood why the other party was unfazed by bullets!

Wasn't this... the crystallization of modern human ingenuity in firearms?

After Stan finished off the small-time boss, he greedily took a deep breath of the blood mist in the air.

That's right!

It was this feeling!

This intoxicating blend of sin and blood!

What flowed through his body was no longer just alchemical potions, but hatred!

Hatred for sin!

Simultaneously, as Stan inhaled the blood mist, the wounds on his body that had just been pierced by bullets began to heal at a visible rate, until the bullets inside his body were squeezed out.

The bullets clinked on the ground, their crisp sound echoing conspicuously in the alley.

It was the "Blood Siphon" effect of the Rage Potion!

As long as he inflicted damage, he could recover from his injuries!

Then, Stan looked at the corpse in his hands and, with a hint of disgust, tore it in half!

It had been dead for two seconds, not fresh anymore!

But it didn't matter, there was still more sin-filled blood...

"Blood flows, leave none alive!"

When Li Wei saw Stan tear the gangster in half, he thought to himself, "Good heavens."

Tearing apart devils with bare hands was real!

However, this was exactly what Li Wei wanted to see. Only by hunting down blood filled with sin could he better fit the Hero Template of Zaun's Fury, Warwick, and inherit greater power!

Stan was already becoming perfect...

There was no suspense in the subsequent developments.

Stan had a bloodbath in the alley.

Although firearms could still injure him, under the effect of bloodsucking, Stan's wounds would heal!

"Claws, hunger! Heroes, die! Kill... you...!"

"Listen to me! Stop screaming~ Watching you bleed..."

Mumbled growls continuously came from Stan's mouth, echoing in the hearts of the Maroni Family members like a chilling wind from hell.

Since Stan initially targeted the Maroni Family members, the Falcone Family members even tried to team up with him against the Maroni Family.

Unfortunately, all sinful blood was on Stan's kill list!

The Falcone Family members were no exception.

When the Falcone Family members realized Stan was approaching, they began to try and escape.

But before a Werewolf, where could they run?

It would only add some fun to the hunt!

When the alley fell silent once more, Stan was the only living creature left standing.

Besides him, there were scattered limbs and fragments everywhere.

Li Wei shook his head slightly. It was nowhere near as brutal as when he "debuted" as KDA Kai'Sa.

It was simply too savage; elegance never goes out of style.

At this point, after so much appeasement, his body's craving for blood had finally been temporarily satisfied.

Stan also regained some semblance of clarity.

His dazed gaze swept over the dismembered limbs on the ground, and he looked at his own hands in disbelief.

"Hey! Stan! We meet again." Li Wei sat on the rooftop, greeting Stan. "I told you, I'd let you end evil with your own hands..."

Chapter 37: Good Man and Beast

Li Wei didn't say much to Stan at the hunting scene.

After confirming Stan had regained his sanity, Li Wei brought the distraught Stan back to Arkham Asylum.

At this moment, Dr. Hugo had just finished cleaning up the mess in his laboratory.

When he looked up, he saw Li Wei and Stan coming down from the elevator. He instinctively closed the laboratory door behind him, afraid Stan would go in and cause more destruction.

Of course, the dazed Stan clearly didn't notice Dr. Hugo's small action.

Li Wei did notice, but he just smiled and didn't say much.

"Dr. Hugo, come here for a moment too. I think we need to help our new member accept the truth..." Li Wei turned back and said to Dr. Hugo.
