I Create the League of Heroes in Gotham

Falcone hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

"Dean Li Wei, what are your thoughts on the current state of Gotham's underworld?"

Victor, standing behind Falcone, had lost all the arrogance he displayed during their first meeting. He was now as well-behaved as a transparent person.

He had long since accepted reality.

Fighting Arkham Asylum was a death wish!

If you can't win, you can't win. If you can't win, you should just quietly be a transparent person and not spout off!

After all, if the sky falls, there are taller people to catch it!

Didn't he still have his boss?

Little did he know, Victor's boss, Falcone, was also feeling uneasy.

What he was about to do was naturally to swallow up the power vacuum left by the Maroni Family and become the sole ruler of Gotham's underworld.

But everything depended on Li Wei's wishes.

If Li Wei showed even the slightest hint of unwillingness, Falcone would absolutely not dare to proceed. Even Falcone himself didn't know when Li Wei had transformed in his eyes from an interesting young man into someone who could now decide his life and death.

Having a new emperor overhead, he naturally felt resentful.

But what could he do about his resentment? The power gap was too vast. If you can't win, you can't win.

He'd pay to keep the peace!

Of course, Falcone had a little trick up his sleeve for this matter.

The first thing he did upon entering Li Wei's office was to present a "donation" of one hundred million, hoping that Li Wei would be more favorably inclined towards him because of it.

Little did he know, Li Wei was also feeling a bit helpless at the moment.

Gotham's underworld?

What did he, the dean of this asylum, have to do with it...

Do whatever you want, as long as you're not trying to destroy Gotham, it has nothing to do with me!

He wasn't concerned with these matters at all right now. He was more interested in Dr. Hugo's progress on acquiring the insects. He couldn't wait to stack them up!

Fine, for the sake of one hundred million US dollars!

"Mr. Falcone, I am merely a law-abiding, upstanding citizen of Gotham. The affairs of Gotham's underworld have nothing to do with me, let alone my thoughts on them," Li Wei shrugged. "If you have no other matters regarding medical treatment, I suggest you return to your work as soon as possible."

Li Wei's words were polite, but not entirely so.

He was practically telling Falcone to leave.

But to Falcone's ears, it sounded like heavenly music.

Dean Li Wei had no intention of interfering in Gotham's underworld!

This was good news. Since Li Wei wouldn't stop him, who else could? He would unify the underworld!

"Alright, thank you, Dean Li Wei," Falcone said, standing up and addressing Li Wei. "I'll be going now."

Without any further ado, he immediately led Victor out the door, not wanting to anger Li Wei over such a minor issue.

But as he stepped out of the office, he saw Gordon and Harvey coming up the stairs.

Falcone hesitated for a moment and turned back to Li Wei.

"Oh, right, Dean Li Wei, the matter you asked me to handle should have results soon. Gordon will be transferred here to work as a security guard..."

Chapter 62: One Hundred Million US Dollars for Cockroaches?

Falcone left.

At the same time, he had also arranged Gordon's next career move, which was a perfect fit.

While others became security guards in their sixties, Gordon was becoming one in his twenties.

It wasn't just a perfect fit; he had bypassed three times the usual career path!

As for safety...

Was there any place in Gotham City safer than Arkham Asylum?

Falcone couldn't understand it, and was even a little jealous. Why was Li Wei so good to Gordon? Not only did he let him bypass three times the usual career path, but he also arranged the safest job in Gotham for him.

Of course, if he were asked to be a security guard here, he wouldn't come.

After seeing Falcone out, before Li Wei could even call Dr. Hugo to inquire about the insect acquisition progress, the office door was knocked on again.

It was Gordon and Harvey.

Li Wei could only put down his phone with a sigh.

"Sheriff Gordon, hello to you both," Li Wei sighed. "This isn't the Mayor's office, you don't both need to run to me."

Gordon had no mood to respond to Li Wei's quip.

Ever since he saw Falcone at the entrance of the asylum downstairs just now, many of his doubts had been resolved.

The respectful attitude of the departing Falcone was clear evidence.

He had always underestimated Li Wei and Arkham Asylum.

If the Falcone Family was the dark cloud hanging over Gotham, then Li Wei and Arkham Asylum were storm clouds even higher than the smog.

Hidden deeper, and far more powerful.

He couldn't do anything about the Falcone Family, so how could he possibly deal with Li Wei and Arkham Asylum?

Setting aside whether Li Wei and Arkham Asylum were willing to abide by the law and accept its judgment.

Just finding evidence of Arkham Asylum's crimes was an almost impossible task.

But Gordon still came forward.

He was a little unwilling to accept it, he could never forget the scene last night when he and Harvey were rescued by the Gotham Beast and his two companions.

Perhaps Li Wei wasn't a bad person?

This was the only hope Gordon still held onto.

"Warden Li Wei, whose side are you on?" Gordon asked directly, getting straight to the point.

Li Wei, on the other hand, was taken aback by the question.

Gordon's question was completely beyond his expectations.

Whose side was he on? That stumped him.

A good person? But he wasn't the kind of law-abiding good person. Stan, before he became Warwick, was a good person.

He couldn't be considered a good person!

A bad person? But since he started, some of the people he killed weren't bad people. Not to mention he hadn't killed any good people, you couldn't even find a few good people in all of Gotham.

Moreover, he didn't have extreme ideas like destroying Gotham or the world, so he couldn't be considered a bad person.

It seemed difficult to define good and bad.

After a moment of silence, Li Wei, thinking of something, showed a look of relief on his face.

"Sheriff Gordon, it's hard for me to answer that question. I only look out for my own interests."

"And what are your interests?" Gordon's eyes lit up. "Falcone told me something: even the mob needs order. Chaos is the enemy of everyone."

At this moment, Gordon didn't even realize that he was already gradually giving up on the idea of bringing Li Wei to justice.

They couldn't even deal with Falcone, so how could they deal with Li Wei, who was stronger than Falcone?

Perhaps, there was room for coexistence...

Unfortunately, he was Li Wei, not some mob boss, nor some tycoon in this city.

Maintaining a balance between chaos and order was the only way to maximize his interests!

Li Wei shook his head, losing the desire to continue explaining things to Gordon.

"Sheriff Gordon, you'll know in the future. If there's nothing else, you should leave. I have work to do."

The dismissal was equally blunt.

Although Gordon was somewhat unwilling and wanted to continue trying to persuade Li Wei with words, Harvey, standing beside him, was clear-headed.

He knew very well that the reason Li Wei didn't kill them was similar to why Falcone didn't kill them.

It wasn't that he couldn't, it was just unnecessary.

If they truly angered him, they wouldn't even know how they died.

Harvey quickly nodded to Li Wei, then pulled Gordon, who still wanted to say something, away.

After Gordon was pulled away, Li Wei sighed helplessly.

Although in movies and TV shows, characters like Gordon, who were full of justice and a sense of mission, were very likable.

But when they appeared in reality, especially when such a person appeared opposite you, they were indeed not likable.

Too persistent.

If it weren't for the need to maintain a delicate balance in Gotham, and for the forces of order to have the power to contend with the forces of chaos, Li Wei would have gotten rid of him long ago!

Of course, if Gordon were truly annoying, it wasn't impossible to kill him. Li Wei was just too lazy to find another target to support on the side of order right now.

Li Wei shook his head, tossing these杂乱 thoughts out of his mind.

He called Dr. Hugo to inquire about the progress of acquiring the insects.

The results made him very happy.

Dr. Hugo had already found a breeding company in Metropolis willing to supply Arkham Asylum. He purchased all the insects currently held by the company for five million.

Not ants, but cockroaches.

Compared to ants, cockroaches obviously had stronger survival capabilities and their reproduction speed was not much slower.

The supplier would deliver this batch of cockroaches to the Gotham City docks in three days.

The estimated quantity was around 30 million, but the exact number was impossible to verify.

"Good! Dr. Hugo, you've done an excellent job!" Li Wei's tone was extremely excited. "In three days, I will personally go to the docks to receive these cockroaches."

To others, cockroaches might just be disgusting insects that make your skin crawl.

But in Li Wei's eyes, they represented tons of damage and a bottomless health pool!

He wondered how much of a boost thirty million cockroaches would give him.

He was looking forward to it.

"I am willing to serve you." Dr. Hugo clearly wasn't going to joke around and anger Li Wei at this moment.

"Mm, since that's the case, I just received another donation from a kind person, one hundred million US dollars. I'm giving it all to you now. Take it and continue buying these bugs for me."

Dr. Hugo: ...

At Indian Hill Hospital, Dr. Hugo froze completely, holding the phone.

This is the end! I can't take it anymore!

That "kind person" who was about to die had donated another hundred million to the Warden!

That was one hundred million US dollars!

Even the original five million cockroaches had been sourced through introductions from several people!

Furthermore, thirty million cockroaches had completely cleared out that company's inventory!

Where was he supposed to find more to buy?

Raising cockroaches was, after all, a business with a very small market share. Wayne Enterprises hadn't even gotten involved, let alone anyone else!
