I Create the League of Heroes in Gotham

The Gotham Beast's entire record since its debut has proven one thing: it leaves no survivors, especially when it comes to the mob.

It doesn't care which side you're on!

But at this very moment, Warwick twitched his nose, scanned left and right, and looked up.

"Falcone is on the left, Maroni is on the right! Take out the ones on the right!"

With that, he charged towards the right-hand group like lightning.

Maroni Family members: ???

Wait, is the Beast playing favorites? Or did you take dirty money?

Meanwhile, the Falcone Family members, after a moment of confusion, were overcome with joy!

They were already in a certain death situation, and they had planned to drag these Maroni Family members down with them into the wolf's maw. Yet, the Gotham Beast had a change of heart today?

It was only targeting the Maroni Family now?

Although they didn't understand why, they were certain that they had survived!

However, Warwick, who had already charged to the front lines of the Maroni Family, knew the reason.

He only remembered what Dr. Hugo had told him on the way here.

"Dr. Falcone is visiting the Warden today, and it seems he's sponsored our hospital quite a bit."

Anyway, the Warden's order was just to make a big scene, but not to cause too much casualties. So, he would just kill the Maroni Family members. This shouldn't count as too many casualties...

Chapter 58: Truly Not Too Many Casualties!

There was no suspense in the outcome.

Under the combined assault of Warwick, Ian, and Dr. Hugo, this small squad from the Maroni Family was quickly wiped out.

They were everywhere, and the scene was not a pretty one.

Let alone these ordinary human gangsters, even a Weapon Master on the top lane would have a slim chance of survival if attacked by these three together.

Leaving behind a mess and a group of trembling Falcone Family members in the restaurant, the three turned and disappeared into the darkness.

They had only taken down two groups of Maroni Family members so far. The night was still long, and the commotion wasn't big enough yet.

They still needed to rush to the next engagement...

When Li Wei groggily got out of bed to relieve himself after waking up, he subconsciously glanced at his shop system.

"Holy crap!!!!"

Instantly, the number in the Soul Essence column flashed like lightning, making Li Wei almost jump out of bed as if he'd been electrocuted.

Li Wei: !!!

"No, I must have gotten up too quickly just now, and the blood pressure rushed to my eyes, causing hallucinations," Li Wei muttered, lying back down on the bed. "Just a little more sleep, a little more sleep..."

As soon as Li Wei lay down, he got up again with a blank expression.

As if! With his current physical condition, let alone getting up too quickly, even diving to the bottom of the ocean a thousand meters deep wouldn't cause any blood pressure issues!

How could he be hallucinating?

It was simply that the balance of Soul Essence was too outrageous!

Soul Essence: 6749

Keep in mind that just two hours ago, his Soul Essence balance had barely broken through two thousand points!

In just two hours, it had increased by over four thousand points.

On average, it had doubled every hour!

And it was still increasing!

Normally, Gotham City could only provide him with 200-300 Soul Essence income per day.

Could it be that Gotham was at war? So many people had died in just two hours!

At this moment, Li Wei froze. He suddenly remembered that before he went to sleep, he had asked Warwick, Ian, and Dr. Hugo to go out and create a big scene...

Could it be that these three had started a massacre?

But that couldn't be right, he had specifically instructed them not to cause too many casualties!

With this thought, Li Wei quickly closed the shop system, shifted his attention to Gotham City, and began to observe using the vision provided by Mass Infatuation.

Li Wei finally understood what had happened!

Good heavens, Gotham was indeed at war.

That's right, it was war!

The Maroni Family and the Falcone Family had gone to war!

The gang fight was all heavy firepower!

Light machine guns, heavy machine guns; he even saw rocket launchers in the hands of those gang members!

An ordinary army probably wouldn't have this much firepower!

Even though this is Gotham, even the gangsters here wouldn't casually bring out bazookas in normal times.

Gangs just want money and territory, not a pile of rubble after being bombarded by rocket launchers.

Unless the war between the two sides has reached a certain intensity!

Powerful firepower inevitably leads to even greater casualties, which is one of the reasons for Li Wei's Soul Essence skyrocketing! ...

But...

This isn't the main reason!

The main reason came from Warwick, Ian, and Dr. Hugo.

The three of them were unstoppable in this war, wherever they went, there was wailing.

Most of Li Wei's soaring Soul Essence balance came from the hands of the three of them.

Actually, Li Wei didn't think these were big problems. After all, these people would die anyway once the two major gangs officially went to war, so they were just dying a little earlier.

Die early, reincarnate early!

The problem was that Warwick and the other two were only targeting the Maroni Family!

Originally, the Maroni Family had started this war, directly disregarding the rules of engagement and using all sorts of heavy firepower to ambush the Falcone Family's strongholds.

The Maroni Family held an absolute advantage.

Even after the Falcone Family reacted, they could only resist desperately. Such a huge first-mover advantage wasn't easily overcome.

But with the intervention of Warwick and the other two, the gap between the two sides began to gradually close.

It even reached a point where the Falcone Family now held a slight advantage!

The situation had reversed!

What made Li Wei exclaim the most was that these three actually reached a consensus.

"Killing all the members of the Maroni Family shouldn't count as too many casualties, and it's created enough of a stir, perfectly meeting the Warden's requirements."

When Li Wei heard these words coming from the three of them, he froze.

Kill off the Maroni Family? Not too many casualties?

How did they connect those two phrases?

Or rather, did they have some misunderstanding of what "not too many casualties" meant?

You guys have truly shocked me!

The Maroni Family, they were the underground overlords who ruled half of the underworld.

Setting aside their strength, their numbers alone were at least ten thousand!

And that was just the number of people belonging directly to the Maroni Family, not counting their collateral branches or the minor factions that just bore their name!

The death of over ten thousand people would absolutely be a major case, even in Gotham!

Li Wei retracted his gaze and glanced at his Soul Essence.

Soul Essence: 7010

Well, killing... it increased quickly.

Li Wei put on his robe and sat down in his office chair, lit a cigarette, and took a deep drag.

The feeling of nicotine entering his lungs was somewhat nostalgic.

He heard that high-society people didn't smoke these, they smoked cigars?

As Li Wei's thoughts wandered and then refocused, he came back to his senses.

He suddenly smiled.

Yeah, the death of ten thousand people was indeed a major case for Gotham.

But blaming Warwick and the others, his own people, for it?

That was absolutely impossible!

Ten thousand deaths might be a major case for Gotham, but it wasn't for him.

A mere ten thousand, out of Gotham's tens of millions, was only one-thousandth.

He hadn't committed genocide.

It really didn't count as major casualties.

Besides, his not causing too many casualties at once was just to avoid fishing all the fish.

The downfall of the Maroni Family would definitely trigger a major reshuffle of Gotham's underworld.

A new order would also bring new opportunities!

And new people would definitely flock to Gotham.

It was simply booming!

Li Wei glanced again at his Soul Essence, which was still steadily increasing.

Soul Essence: 7126

Hmm, very efficient. Maybe by the time I wake up tomorrow morning, the balance will break ten thousand!

Maroni Family, rest in peace. Thank you for your generous gifts.

You're truly good people, and good people don't live long in Gotham.

Isn't that a closed loop!

After mourning the Maroni Family for half a second in his heart, Li Wei took a deep drag from the cigarette in his hand.

The flickering ember at the tip of the cigarette was especially noticeable in the darkness.

Then, Li Wei pressed the ember into the ashtray, extinguishing it completely.

"I'm really looking forward to it! Perhaps tomorrow morning's harvest won't just be Soul Essence..." Li Wei chuckled, got up, and lay back down on the bed.

With this income, I can go on a wild shopping spree when I wake up tomorrow!

This is a bed I bought for a hundred thousand dollars!

As long as Gotham isn't being razed to the ground, everything else is a minor issue!

Sleep is more important!
