I Create the League of Heroes in Gotham

Chapter 51: Leslie Thompkins

"If there's no evidence, then we'll find it!"

Gordon could only leave Arkham Asylum with Harvey, full of unwillingness.

He knew something was wrong here, but he couldn't do anything about it, not even search. This feeling made Gordon incredibly depressed.

At least until they found concrete evidence, they absolutely couldn't touch Arkham Asylum!

Li Wei stood by his office window, watching the classic car drive away, a smile on his face.

Doubt all you want, if you can find evidence, I'll admit defeat!

Gordon might be known as Gotham's King of Duels, but the gap in raw strength brought by the Hero Template was something that could never be bridged by belief or experience.

Besides, the scapegoat would be making his appearance soon...

Li Wei shook his head, pulling his attention away from Gordon. He habitually scanned his vision across Gotham.

"Eh? Interesting!" Li Wei suddenly discovered something else amusing.

Or rather, an event that could be called a milestone in Gotham and even the DC Universe!

The Batman development plan was finally about to begin!

At Wayne Manor, Bruce Wayne, having just avenged himself against a bully at school, sat on the sofa, rubbing his bruised fist. He frowned as he spoke to his butler, Alfred.

"I really like the feeling of hurting him."

Alfred put down what he was holding and spread his hands, trying to comfort Bruce.

"Of course, he made you angry, he deserved to be beaten."

"But... I always get so angry, what should I do?" Bruce Wayne's eyes held a hint of confusion.

This time, not only Bruce Wayne was confused, but even Alfred was a bit lost.

He had never married or had children, and this was his first time taking care of a child. Facing Bruce Wayne like this, he didn't know what to do either.

"I... I don't know either." After a long silence, Alfred managed to utter this.

"Alfred, can you teach me to fight?" Bruce Wayne suddenly looked up at him with anticipation in his eyes.

Alfred fell silent again.

He knew very well in his heart that violence was not the right choice, especially for Bruce Wayne.

He wanted to refuse Bruce's request.

But after thinking for a long time, he finally agreed.

"Of course, Master Bruce."

Perhaps violence wasn't the right choice, but for Bruce, it was the only choice. Only through violence could he protect himself from being bullied...

Li Wei watched this scene unfold, feeling a sense of emotion.

Alfred might not know what a monster he would create with his decision today.

Yes, a monster.

A monster who, with the body of a mortal, could rival gods!

Batman, with the body of a mortal, no superpowers, relying solely on learning and training, had reached the limits of human physical fitness and intellect. Coupled with his almost perverse willpower and psychological resilience, he always had a plan B.

Perhaps Batman was the craziest madman in Gotham!

No one could imagine how terrifying Batman would be if he also had superpowers!

But as it happened, Li Wei had such an ability.

Perhaps one day in the future, when Batman finally reached his peak state, Li Wei could help him go a step further...

He was looking forward to that day.

Anyway, the DC Universe had already been distorted beyond recognition by his intervention, so Li Wei didn't mind making this world even more interesting.

However, these were all future matters. The current Bruce Wayne wasn't even Batman yet, and his various abilities were still incredibly immature.

Li Wei withdrew his gaze and turned his attention to another target that needed his attention.

Penguin Cobblepot.

He had to admit, he hadn't misjudged him.

Cobblepot was already thriving in Gotham's underworld without his help.

He was gradually moving towards the position of Gotham's king.

Through betrayal and sowing discord, he had accumulated considerable power of his own, becoming an influential figure in Gotham's underworld.

From a mere umbrella-carrying subordinate to the boss Cobblepot, it had only taken less than a month!

He was like a venomous snake, patient, cruel, waiting for an opportunity, but at the same time, not lacking in intellect and decisiveness!

Fish's death had a huge impact on Gotham's underworld.

While others were waiting to see Falcone and the Maroni family's stance, Cobblepot was commanding his subordinates to absorb Fish's remaining forces!

This alone is far superior to anyone else in Gotham's underworld!

Opportunity always favors the prepared.

Clearly, Cobblepot is such a person.

Fish's death presented Cobblepot with an opportunity!

As for whether the Maroni and Falcone families would retaliate for his unauthorized actions afterward?

Cobblepot wasn't worried at all. He had already made his plans: the two major gangs would be thrown into a full-scale war because of his scheme, leaving them no time to bother him.

Fish's unexpected death had merely accelerated his plan.

The only thing Cobblepot worried about was that mysterious Arkham Asylum and its even more mysterious Warden, Li Wei...

Meanwhile, Gordon and Harvey were sitting in a car, out searching for evidence.

Harvey kept glancing at Gordon, seemingly wanting to say something, but ultimately holding back.

Gordon noticed this too and could only sigh.

"Harvey, if you have something to say, just say it. We're on the same side."

Harvey was silent for a moment, then reorganized his thoughts before speaking.

"Partner, why are we focusing on Arkham Asylum and Li Wei?" Harvey shrugged. "Never mind that we don't have any evidence now. Even if Arkham Asylum is really connected to Khada Jhin and the Gotham Beast, they haven't harmed any ordinary people. Everyone who's died by their hands so far has been a gang member."

It wasn't Harvey's fault for complaining.

It was just too difficult to find direct evidence proving Arkham Asylum's connection to Khada Jhin and the Gotham Beast!

So far, they had tried many avenues but couldn't find any proof.

Moreover, in Harvey's opinion, he and Gordon were powerless against crime families like Maroni and Falcone. Yet, Khada Jhin and the Gotham Beast could make them tremble with fear. ...

Perhaps it wasn't a bad thing.

Gordon shook his head and looked out the car window at the rapidly receding streets, his eyes distant as if recalling someone.

"My father once told me that one cannot achieve a just end through unjust means."

Gordon's words left Harvey speechless.

Yes, the principle was correct. But the problem was, this was Gotham!

In Gotham, the system and everything here dictated that Gordon's ideals could only remain ideals, never fully realized.

In the end, Harvey could only sigh and fall silent. Perhaps Gordon would understand these things someday.

All he could do was stick with his partner.

They were partners!

And on Li Wei's side, while he was "watching the show."

Stan suddenly knocked on Li Wei's office door.

"Warden, someone is here to see you. They say they want to apply for a doctor position..."

Li Wei withdrew his thoughts and raised an eyebrow. "Send them away, Stan. We don't need any doctors right now."

Stan nodded and turned to leave.

But as Stan pushed open the office door, Li Wei inexplicably added, "What's their name?"

"Leslie. She said her name is Leslie Thompkins," Stan replied truthfully. "She's quite pretty, too."

Upon hearing the name, Li Wei immediately changed his mind.

"Stan, bring her up to see me."

Chapter 52: Gordon, Your Wife is Amazing

Leslie Thompkins.

The name might not sound special, but in the original DC storyline, she was one of Gordon's girlfriends.

Yes, one of Gordon's many girlfriends.

That guy Gordon was practically a walking, talking Casanova of Gotham!

But none of that was important. What mattered was what Li Wei could do with Leslie.

When Stan pushed open the office door again, a young woman followed behind him.

"Hello, Miss Thompkins," Li Wei said with a kind and approachable smile. "Please, have a seat."

Leslie timidly looked around Li Wei's office. It was clear she was very nervous.

However, Li Wei's kind smile, handsome face, and Stan's gentlemanly demeanor helped to alleviate Leslie's nervousness to the greatest extent.

After Leslie sat down, Li Wei nodded to Stan.

"Alright, Warwick, you can go back to your work now. I'm going to conduct the interview."

In front of an outsider like Leslie, Li Wei naturally couldn't call Stan by his real name. Fortunately, Stan wasn't foolish and understood Li Wei's intention.

He nodded, turned, and left the office, closing the door behind him.

Now, only Li Wei and Leslie remained in the office.

"Alright, Ms. Thompkins, let's begin the interview officially. I'm sure you don't mind starting with a self-introduction..."

Honestly, Li Wei's serious demeanor really suited his role as Warden!

The interview process was also quite formal.

Li Wei had originally intended the interview to be a mere formality, just to make things look official, but Leslie...

Li Wei really wanted to say, "Gordon, your wife is amazing!"

Don't get the wrong idea, she was truly amazing. Leslie's resume was surprisingly excellent, catching Li Wei off guard.

Leslie had graduated from Harvard Medical School, the same school Bruce's father, Thomas Wayne, had attended. It could be considered the number one medical school in the entire United States.
