I Create the League of Heroes in Gotham

However, Gordon understood that without concrete evidence, he couldn't rely too heavily on the police force.

No one knew how many "eyes" were watching within the Gotham City Police Department.

Gordon could only turn to some friends and find a lawyer in Gotham renowned for his justice to seek help.

Harvey.

That's right, this lawyer shared the same name as his partner, Harvey.

However, this lawyer's surname was Dent.

Harvey Dent, a great lawyer who loved flipping a coin.

To others, Harvey Dent was Gotham's most famous and best lawyer, but Li Wei cared more about his other identity.

Two-Face!

More accurately, the future Two-Face, and also one of the ideal hero templates in Li Wei's heart.

The story that unfolded between Gordon and Harvey Dent later on wasn't much different from what Li Wei already knew.

News about Catwoman, Selina, leaked due to Harvey Dent's negligence, leading to her being hunted by assassins within Wayne Manor...

None of this was particularly good. Li Wei believed that Gordon, as Gotham's King of Duels, could handle it as long as it wasn't him or his own people making a move.

"Sigh..." Li Wei rubbed his temples with some frustration, leaning back into his lounge chair, his gaze unfocused as he stared at the ceiling.

But his mind was racing at full speed.

Gordon's investigation was indeed not something he needed to worry too much about. However, the fact that Gordon and Bruce Wayne had finally joined forces was something he had to take seriously.

Li Wei wasn't afraid of what these two could do together. Let alone the current Bruce Wayne and Gordon, even the future Batman, to be honest, as long as he didn't challenge him to a fight, his strength was just that.

He was contemplating the impact their alliance would have on Gotham's situation.

Even a young Bruce Wayne couldn't be treated as an ordinary person.

Especially now that Bruce Wayne was gradually regaining control of Wayne Enterprises.

Teaming up with Gordon, Gotham's King of Duels, created a chemical reaction far greater than one plus one equaling two.

Capital is king; while this saying might not be entirely true in Gotham, it certainly held some weight.

With Bruce Wayne's sponsorship, Gordon could accomplish so much more!

Although it might not be enough to do anything to him or Arkham Asylum, it was undeniable that Gotham's underworld would likely be the next to suffer.

Li Wei wanted Gotham to maintain a delicate balance, and that wasn't an easy feat...

Black couldn't overpower white, and white couldn't overpower black.

It was an art.

He really liked a quote from Camille: "The world is neither black nor white, but a delicate shade of gray."

He had to ensure Gotham could sustainably provide him with Soul Essence income!

There were already quite a few carriers of his ideal hero templates appearing in his sight, Penguin, Catwoman, Two-Face...

And his current Soul Essence balance had only just broken the two thousand mark.

Soul Essence Balance: 2089

Ever since he purchased the Hero Template for Demolition Genius Jigs, his income had been less than 600 Soul Essence!

This growth rate was clearly like a drop in the bucket.

Li Wei pondered for a moment, and a plan gradually formed in his mind.

As the sky began to darken, he summoned Ian, Warwick, and Dr. Hugo.

"Go, the three of you, cause a big scene!" Li Wei told the three before him. "Don't cause too much casualties, but make sure the commotion is significant."

Having received Li Wei's clear instructions, the three of them undoubtedly went to carry out the order.

No matter how witty Dr. Hugo acted on a daily basis, how honest Warwick was, or how many bomb blueprints Ian still had left to realize.

At this moment, absolute loyalty brought about absolute execution.

Li Wei watched the backs of the three as they turned and left his office, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the desk.

His true purpose in sending these three out to cause trouble wasn't to collect more Soul Essence to slaughter Gotham City.

If that were the case, Ian's Perfect Storm alone could destroy half of Gotham, and it would only take three of them to level the city.

He wouldn't do something so short-sighted; sustainable development was the way to go.

It was to draw Gordon's attention, to divert some of the heat.

Gordon knew there were problems with Arkham Asylum, he just lacked evidence.

As long as Gordon focused his attention on Arkham Asylum, it would buy some time for the current reshuffling of the underworld...

As for whether Gordon would actually find concrete evidence against Arkham Asylum?

Fortunately, most of the time, Li Wei was willing to abide by the rules.

Unfortunately, Li Wei possessed the ability to destroy those rules at any time.

Gotham is destined to be sleepless tonight!

However, was the "big commotion" these three people understood truly the big commotion Li Wei spoke of?

Gotham's night was very "lively."

Especially with Maroni determined to strike first and gain the upper hand.

The conflict stemmed from the development plan for Arkham district. In theory, they were merely commercial rivals.

But sometimes, commercial competition is just this straightforward.

Maroni went all in!

He firmly believed that going all in was a form of wisdom.

Tonight, under Maroni's command, the Maroni family launched a full-scale assault on the Falcone family!

All members of the Maroni family were deployed, using various firearms to attack Falcone's strongholds.

The scale of the operation was so immense that even the Gotham PD couldn't avoid it.

At this moment, no one dared to cross the Maroni family.

The Gotham PD officers were all obediently hiding at home, except for the partners Gordon and Harvey.

But even Gordon was helpless against this all-out war. His strength lay in one-on-one combat, but now, no one was challenging him to a duel.

He wanted to go out and stop the thugs, but armed only with a handgun, he was completely suppressed by the heavy firepower the thugs wielded, unable to lift his head!

Almost every one of them had a heavy machine gun! There were even rocket launchers!

"Damn it!" Gordon hid behind a wall, feeling the vibrations from the impacts on the wall behind him, cursing, "They've gone mad! Have these damn mobsters bought an army!"

His partner, Harvey, beside him, had lost all desire for banter. Seizing an opportunity, he extended his hand from behind the wall, emptied his magazine at the fastest speed, reloaded, and continued firing.

"Buddy, you'd better come up with a solution before this wall is riddled with holes, or we'll be the next ones to be riddled with holes..."

Gordon was also feeling helpless at this moment. He couldn't think of any solution.

Even when he was on the battlefield, he had never fought a war with such a disparity in equipment!

He had skills, that was true.

But under the onslaught of firepower, any skill was meaningless.

As soon as you dared to show your head, a rocket would immediately find you, or a burst of machine-gun fire, and all he had was a small handgun.

"Click, click, click..."

The sound of an emptied magazine echoed. Gordon knew he only had one magazine left.

He felt lost, a sense of unwillingness on his face.

He had just formed an alliance with Bruce Wayne, and there were even faint clues regarding the murder of the Waynes. He clearly had a chance to make this city better...

Just as Gordon and Harvey were about to empty their last magazines, a violent explosion suddenly erupted from the direction of the mobsters, accompanied by screams and shouts.

"Ah..."

"What the hell is that!"

"It's poisonous! Be careful!"

"There's a bomb! Fuck!"

"The Gotham Beast is here..."

Chapter Fifty-Six: Let's Blow Them Up!

Amidst fear and screams, the Maroni family mobsters descended into chaos.

Instantly, the pressure on Gordon and Harvey visibly lessened, until...

No more bullets were fired in their direction.

At first, Gordon and Harvey thought the other side was faking it, trying to lure them out of cover with such a clumsy tactic.

The two of them stayed behind their cover, becoming even more cautious, daring not to show their heads, not even using their last magazine, saving it for self-defense.

But gradually, Gordon noticed something was wrong.

The Gotham Beast? Strange bombs?

And poison gas?

What was all this about!

Even if the Maroni family was faking it, they should at least make it believable!

Anyone in Gotham even slightly connected to the underworld knew that Khada Jhin and the Gotham Beast came from Arkham Asylum.

As for poison gas and bombs? Come on, ever since Khada Jhin and the Gotham Beast debuted, they hadn't been associated with those things at all!

That is, until the head of a Maroni family member was ripped from his neck and rolled like a ball towards Gordon.

This head was clearly a "Black Beauty watermelon." Although it looked black, it was very juicy.

As it rolled, it left a bloody trail.

His eyes were filled with horror and an unwillingness to die, his massive neck wound clearly depicting his cause of death.

Seeing the tragically deceased Black Beauty watermelon before them, Gordon and Harvey exchanged glances.

Could it… be true?

Though their hearts wavered slightly, they didn't immediately stand up. Instead, they pulled out small mirrors from their pockets, using the reflection to look towards the direction of the Maroni gang.

Don't ask why Gordon, a grown man, would carry a small mirror; it was a memento from his ex-girlfriend, Barbara.

Through the mirrors, they finally saw the Maroni family being slaughtered.

That's right!

Slaughter!

"It's… not an act, is it?" Gordon glanced at the black-skinned watermelon rolling nearby, hesitating. "Otherwise, the acting is just too convincing."

Gordon and Harvey felt no urge to vomit. After all, whether it was Gordon, who had seen combat, or Harvey, who had been in Gotham for over a decade, they were long accustomed to such scenes. They had even seen worse.

It was just that the current turn of events was too absurd, making it difficult for their minds to process.

How did things escalate to this point?

After exchanging a look, the two cautiously rose from behind the wall, their eyes peering over it towards the direction of the explosion.

Now, the two could see much more clearly.
