I Create the League of Heroes in Gotham

Endless Restraints...

These abilities, combined with the Hunting Instinct inherited from Warwick, completely transformed Stan into a Lethal Beast!

A Pure Wolf Nature!

"Alright, Stan, I believe you've accepted the changes within you..." Li Wei's voice pulled Stan's mind back, and he smiled, "Want to try out your newly acquired strength?"

Stan remained silent for a long time, then nodded.

To say he didn't want to was a lie, but... what was his target?

Even though he had accepted the fact that he had become a lethal beast, if he were to harm innocent people, he clearly couldn't accept it.

"Then go. Remember to be back before dawn. I think the criminals lurking in the alleys will be enough to satisfy your thirst for blood!"

Don't expect Gotham's nights to calm down. Even though not long ago, Stan brutally slaughtered two teams from the Maroni Family and the Falcone Family.

Whether in the past, present, or future, Gotham's nights will always be filled with all sorts of evil.

This is Gotham!

Stan's eyes lit up!

If his targets were criminals with blood on their hands, then he had no objections!

"Okay!"

Witnessing Stan enter the elevator, Li Wei didn't follow this time.

He had already completely mastered Warwick's abilities. He also knew that Stan, after integrating the Warwick Hero Template, wouldn't completely lose control.

Naturally, there was no need for him to go along.

Moreover, just like how Dr. Hugo fused with Singed's template, Stan could now transform back into human form at any time, making him capable of both offense and defense.

He looked left and right at the mess in the laboratory, then at Dr. Hugo beside him.

"Ahem, Dr. Hugo, remember to clean this place up. I'm going up to sleep..." Li Wei whistled and left the laboratory as if nothing had happened, only casually dropping a sentence before he left.

Dr. Hugo: ...Aren't you going to feel uneasy? Aren't you going to feel guilty?

Of course, Li Wei could swear that he was absolutely not exploiting Dr. Hugo. The laboratory was his territory, and one should do their own work!

And at the same time, on the streets of Arkham.

Because of the disappearance of those two teams, the Maroni and Falcone families each sent out another group to search.

Coincidentally, these two search parties met on the street once again.

As both sides were locked in a fierce battle, the exact same scene as before replayed.

Perhaps the only difference was that this time there was no wolf howl that echoed through the night sky.

"I smell you..."

In the dark street, a pair of scarlet eyes slowly emerged...

Chapter Thirty-Nine: The First Employee

That night, both the Maroni Family and the Falcone Family suffered heavy losses.

Just from the teams sent out to search and subsequently disappearing, over a hundred people died!

It wasn't until later, when the bosses of Maroni and Falcone gradually realized something was wrong, that they stopped sending people out and pulled their subordinates back, thus avoiding greater losses!

Initially, both sides believed their subordinates had fallen into an ambush set by the other, which led to their complete disappearance.

After all, in Gotham right now, only they had the capability to contend with each other.

But later, as dawn broke and scattered limbs and fragments were found in the streets and alleys, both sides discovered the anomaly in this matter!

The missing personnel from both sides had all died together, and they had all met gruesome ends. Analysis of the wounds indicated they died at the hands of a large beast!

The wound analysis suggested there was an eighty percent chance it was a wolf!

This discovery left the bosses of Maroni and Falcone looking at each other in disbelief.

They both knew that Gotham at night was chaotic and dangerous, but when did Gotham City start having wolves?

And...

What kind of wolf could kill two fully armed gangster teams?

One must know that these fallen subordinates were skilled fighters. Let alone the various illegal firearms they carried, even bare-handed, they wouldn't have all died silently at the jaws of a beast!

Unreasonable, completely unreasonable!

Perhaps a deadly enemy was lurking in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to tear them to shreds!

The unexpected situation cast a shadow over the hearts of the two gang bosses.

They didn't know who the opponent was, nor who the killer was, let alone why they did it. Everything was unknown!

Although both of them wanted to restrain their subordinates and consolidate their defenses to avoid further losses, their vast influence also came with immense inertia. The two major gangs were now like a car traveling at high speed, and they couldn't stop in a short period.

If they were forced to stop, perhaps no one would need to attack them; their own immense inertia would be enough to tear them apart!

There's no other way, the only solution now is to floor it and crash into the other party at an even faster speed!

Until only one side remains, and then we can turn our guns and concentrate our firepower on the hidden enemies.

Thus, the two mob bosses made the same decision with perfect tacit understanding...

Next, the struggle in the underworld will become even more intense!

The decisive battle is coming!

Meanwhile, in Gotham's underworld, a bizarre urban legend began to spread inexplicably.

In the Gotham City under the cover of night, a lethal beast hidden in the darkness appeared, specifically hunting mob members. That beast would brutally tear its targets apart, and any firearms they once trusted couldn't save their lives.

Human fear stems from the unknown.

For a time, the entire Gotham underworld was in a state of panic.

And at this moment, Stan, the subject of the new Gotham urban legend, was facing a new test...

"Stan, this is a list of the damages you caused yesterday. You can check it and see if you have any objections." Li Wei handed a stack of lists to Stan with a smile.

Stan took the lists and began to examine them carefully.

But as he examined them more closely, Stan's expression grew increasingly grim.

Oh, my god!

There were just too many items on this list!

A metal lab bench was worth nearly a hundred thousand dollars? Was it made of gold?

And!

There was also a cabinet full of blood he drank yesterday. The blood of elephants and tigers was one thing, but what the hell was jellyfish blood?

Did jellyfish even have blood?

Stan wanted to object to this outrageous list, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the words caught in his throat.

He had no evidence.

It shouldn't be that Dean Li Wei was extorting him, he must have remembered it wrong...

After all, Dean Li Wei had brought him back from the dead. How could he suspect Dean Li Wei's character over such a small amount of compensation!

I deserve to die!

After Stan figured it out, he wished he could slap himself a few times!

"Dean Li Wei, I have no objections." Stan awkwardly put the list back on the table, his face filled with bitterness. "But I really can't afford to pay so much money right now. You know my situation..."

Stan had previously only worked as a researcher at Weizhan Pharmaceuticals. While not poor, he wasn't wealthy either.

He didn't have much in savings to begin with, and most of it was already used to pay off his mortgage with Wayne Bank.

Let alone having savings, even if he did, he couldn't access it now.

Outside of the asylum, the identity of Stan Topolsky was now that of a dead man. He had no heirs, and his meager inheritance naturally went to his creditor, Wayne Bank.

"I know, Stan." Li Wei continued to say with a smile, "So, I've prepared an employment contract for you. Your monthly salary will be fifty thousand dollars. Forty-five thousand of that will be used to pay off the losses on this list, leaving five thousand dollars for living expenses..."

Stan naturally had no objections to this.

A monthly salary of fifty thousand dollars was already more than double what he earned at Weizhan Pharmaceuticals.

Even though he would only actually receive five thousand dollars a month...

"Okay, I have no problem with that, Dean Li Wei." Stan signed his name on the contract.

Li Wei then put away the contract with satisfaction. "Good, in that case, Stan, you are now officially employed. The first thing you need to do is familiarize yourself with the environment of this hospital. You will be responsible for miscellaneous tasks around the hospital..."

Stan nodded and turned to leave the office.

Although being responsible for miscellaneous tasks might seem like a waste of his talents as a chemistry Ph.D., Stan had no complaints. After all, he was alive, wasn't he?

He had also gained powers he never imagined, allowing him to do what he wanted.

He needed to adapt to his new life and new identity as quickly as possible.

After Stan left, Dr. Hugo emerged from the washroom, looking speechless.

"Dean, aren't you just bullying an honest person?"

This list was written by Li Wei himself that morning at his request.

As for the damages?

Although Indian Hill Hospital was originally built by Wayne Enterprises, it wasn't so wealthy that even a regular lab bench would cost a hundred thousand dollars.

It was all made up!

Li Wei didn't get angry at Dr. Hugo's words, he just shook his head slightly. "Dr. Hugo, you don't understand. By the way, use the Court of Owls' channels to help Stan get a new identity later..."

In fact, even if he didn't give Stan a single dollar, Stan would have stayed here. Besides Arkham Asylum, he had nowhere else to go.

He wanted legitimacy.

Now, Stan was the first truly hired employee of Arkham Asylum.

Moreover, Arkham Asylum will also have to face the issue of hiring staff in the future.

Everything must be legal and compliant; Li Wei doesn't even plan to violate labor laws.

At least on the surface, no legal or regulatory issues should be discoverable.

Arkham Asylum is now gradually stepping onto Gotham's grand stage. It's impossible for no one to suspect the asylum forever; Gotham has plenty of smart people!

Li Wei knows that whether it's dealing with Sheriff Gordon or the future Batman.

Even if they suspect Arkham Asylum has problems, they'll be helpless if they can't find evidence.

As for those villains...

Even if they don't come looking for Li Wei, Li Wei will look for them. They are all living template material!

In Li Wei's opinion, confronting superheroes without any benefit is simply idiotic!

He's not a lunatic like The Joker.

Superheroes, their weaknesses are too obvious!

Soon, what happened next would put Li Wei's foresight to good use...
