I Create the League of Heroes in Gotham

Who can raise cockroaches worth a hundred million US dollars!

"Warden, can you tell me who this 'kind person' is?" Dr. Hugo asked through gritted teeth. "I'd like to thank him in person."

Li Wei, completely oblivious to Dr. Hugo's murderous intent, replied with a chuckle.

"Falcone, he's a generous friend..."

Chapter 63: Have You Ever Heard of Nine-Turn Sausages?

Of course, Dr. Hugo was merely complaining.

Even though he hated Falcone with a burning passion, he wouldn't dare to lay a finger on him without Li Wei's command.

"Warden... how about we start our own breeding farm?" Dr. Hugo said, rubbing his temples. "A hundred million dollars worth of cockroaches is just impossible to buy."

"Impossible to buy?" Li Wei scratched his head. "Are there things in this world that money can't buy?"

He really didn't have a concept for a hundred million dollars' worth of cockroaches. Before this, the only time he'd dealt with the quantity 'billion' was

To put it in perspective, five million US dollars could buy 30 million cockroaches, so a hundred million would be twenty times five million.

That's... six hundred million cockroaches.

Li Wei paused.

Six hundred million cockroaches, what kind of scene would that be?

Setting aside how much reinforcement it could bring him, just the sheer spectacle would be terrifying!

And six hundred million cockroaches, it really wasn't that easy to buy.

The most crucial point was that he didn't just need six hundred million cockroaches; after those were consumed, he'd need to keep buying more.

Life goes on, reinforcement never stops!

Perhaps he could really do as Dr. Hugo suggested and set up his own breeding factory, just like Gotham was now, a sustainable development!

Li Wei scratched his head again. "Dr. Hugo, I didn't consider it thoroughly. You go ahead with your work, I'll think about this matter carefully."

He didn't put on airs when it came to his own people.

After careful consideration, Li Wei put the insect breeding farm project on the agenda.

An insect breeding farm could provide him with a continuous supply of insects, which would be the foundation for his future continuous reinforcements!

Setting up an insect breeding factory wasn't as simple as finding a location and building a plant.

To create an environment that maximized insect reproduction efficiency, the technological content involved was not low!

Li Wei had many things to do. He hadn't expected that the first business he'd establish after arriving in the DC universe would be an insect breeding factory...

Meanwhile, Gordon had returned to the police station.

As soon as he and Harvey entered the station, they were both summoned to the Police Commissioner's office.

"Gordon, this is a bullet fired from your service weapon, isn't it?" The Police Commissioner placed a bullet in an evidence bag on the desk.

"Huh?" Gordon looked bewildered. How could anyone tell it was from his gun? And what was the Police Commissioner up to?

"Gordon, you're fired. It's been identified as a bullet fired from your service weapon. An innocent Gotham citizen was hit by you. Rescue efforts were unsuccessful, and the hospital has issued a death notice."

The Police Commissioner said expressionlessly.

At this point, even Harvey, who was known for being a seasoned veteran, couldn't stand it!

The anger in his heart ignited like a wildfire!

His face quickly turned red, like a monkey's backside.

Harvey took out his hip flask and slammed it onto the desk with a bang.

The loud noise made the officers busy outside the office glance over curiously. They wondered what trouble that unsociable fellow Gordon had gotten into now...

"I don't agree! This is clearly a setup!" Harvey roared angrily. "Last night, we were fighting nothing but damned mobsters!"

The Police Commissioner glanced at him sideways, walked expressionlessly to the office window, first gave the curious officers a warning look, and then unceremoniously drew the curtains.

After sitting back down in his office chair, the Police Commissioner said somewhat helplessly.

"Harvey, Gordon, I know what you're saying, and I know what happened in Gotham last night." The Police Commissioner took the bullet out of the evidence bag and tapped it on the desk. "I'm not blind or deaf. I even know that the so-called Gotham citizen was a member of the Maroni Family."

"Police Commissioner, you..." Harvey was taken aback.

"But there's nothing I can do. This is an order from above." The Police Commissioner helplessly pointed upwards. "I can't stop it. They specifically want Gordon to take the fall."

Harvey wanted to say something else, but Gordon tugged at his sleeve.

"Alright, Harvey, don't say any more. The Police Commissioner can't help it either."

This was the first complete sentence Gordon had spoken since entering the office, but Harvey hadn't expected him to say that.

"Gordon, you..." Harvey was momentarily speechless.

Gordon just shook his head at him. Although his face was filled with disappointment, there wasn't a trace of dejection in his expression.

"Police Commissioner, it's fine for me to take the fall, but I have one request." Gordon looked at the Police Commissioner and said calmly.

In reality, Gordon wasn't disappointed with the Gotham Police Department.

During his time at the Gotham Police Department, he understood just how much darkness was hidden within the GPD and the entire Gotham legal system, like an abyss with no bottom.

He never held out hope, so how could he be disappointed?

Such things were not uncommon; in fact, they were quite simple for those in high positions.

Now that the higher-ups had designated him as the scapegoat, as a detective, though not at the very bottom, he was utterly powerless to resist.

If the Police Commissioner dared to defy them, the next one to suffer would be the Police Commissioner.

He might as well take this opportunity to do some things he wanted to do. Perhaps he could use this chance to figure out how to integrate himself into Gotham...

"You tell me," the Police Commissioner's expression softened. "I'll do my best to help you."

"After I'm fired, I want to be a security guard at Arkham Asylum," Gordon said, looking directly into the Police Commissioner's eyes.

"That's no problem," the Police Commissioner breathed a sigh of relief. "I can agree to your request right now."

In the Police Commissioner's view, it was just a small asylum. Arranging for a retired officer to be a security guard was well within her capabilities as Police Commissioner.

It had to be said that as a Police Commissioner sitting in an office, her intelligence was in no way comparable to a detective like Gordon who worked on the front lines.

Even Gordon had realized that Arkham Asylum was not right, yet the Police Commissioner still treated it like an ordinary hospital...

"Alright, I'll wait for your news, Police Commissioner," Gordon simply smiled, not offering any further reminders.

Watching Gordon turn and leave, Harvey glanced at the Police Commissioner with dissatisfaction, tossing him one last sentence.

"You'll regret this."

Then he turned and chased after Gordon.

Outside the police station, Harvey caught up to Gordon.

"Man, do you really think the Police Commissioner can get you a job as a security guard at Arkham Asylum?" Harvey took out a cigarette and offered it to Gordon, then lit one for himself. "You know what's going on at Arkham Asylum, don't you?"

Gordon took a deep drag of his cigarette, looked up at the perpetual gloom hanging over Gotham, and twitched the corner of his mouth.

"I know, so what? If she can't get me into Arkham Asylum, she can't fire me. If she can, then I'll go to Arkham and see what's really there! I always felt that Li Wei and Arkham Asylum weren't what we imagined."

Harvey: ...

Good heavens, who knew you, Gordon, the seemingly upright one, had also learned to be cunning!

Gordon felt like he had found a direction to integrate into Gotham, though the path was still unclear...

Li Wei, watching this scene through his surveillance in Arkham Asylum, desperately wanted to ask Gordon a question.

Gordon, have you ever heard the story of the Nine-Turn Sausages?

Chapter Sixty-Four: Gotham Needs More Villains!

Gordon was a key target for Li Wei, and even while Li Wei was preparing the insect farm, he hadn't forgotten him.

Li Wei saw everything that happened to Gordon after he returned to the police station, and it was all within his expectations.

He naturally knew that Gordon was being framed, and it was definitely Falcone's doing!

Perhaps for Gordon, being fired from the Gotham Police Department was a disaster of apocalyptic proportions, but for Falcone, it was merely a trivial matter.

That's how the world works; a small move by a powerful figure could be a catastrophe for those below.

It could be imagined that, if nothing unexpected happened, the criminals and dark forces Gordon had previously arrested would now begin to retaliate against him.

Fortunately, Gordon was smart enough to know that Arkham Asylum was the safest place for him right now.

"As expected, Gordon is gradually getting smarter..." Li Wei smiled silently.

He was merely watching these events unfold as entertainment. For him, Gordon's arrival meant the start of his "Gordon Version Enhancement Plan"!

The next day passed without any major incidents. Li Wei remained busy with the insect farm.

Land? He only needed to make one phone call to Falcone. He didn't even need to go to the site in person; a sizable plot of land was approved next to the asylum.

The city councilors who originally belonged to the Maroni Family had now disappeared along with the Maroni Family's demise.

Their fates were surely not good.

Now, all members of the city government, including the Mayor, were Falcone's people.

It was no exaggeration to say that this was the peak of the Falcone Family's power!

With Falcone also contracting the development plan for the Arkham district, getting Li Wei a piece of land was as easy as pie.

As for Falcone...

As long as Li Wei didn't cause him trouble, he would provide money and land! As for anything else, they would deal with it later.

However, other aspects were not so smooth. For example, regarding equipment and construction, Li Wei approached several manufacturers claiming to be professional, only to find that the breeding equipment solutions they offered were too generic, none of them capable of maximizing the insect reproduction efficiency.

This was not something that could be solved by brute force or power, and it couldn't be compromised. After all, the insect reproduction efficiency was directly equivalent to Li Wei's subsequent enhancement efficiency.

In his desperation, Li Wei turned his attention to Wayne Enterprises.

While Wayne Enterprises didn't have ready-made equipment, it had several high-tech subsidiaries that were fully capable of customizing an insect breeding facility according to Li Wei's requirements!

But the problem was that such custom-made equipment didn't have a large market. The research and development and manufacturing costs would be very high. Unless the price was exorbitant, no company would accept such an order.

Clearly, Li Wei was not willing to spend that much money.

He didn't want to spend money, but he wanted the goods. That meant he had to come up with a different plan!

Just as Li Wei was thinking about how to get Wayne Enterprises to customize it for him personally (for free), the Mayor of Gotham called.

"Warden Li Wei, the Gotham Police Commissioner has submitted a report requesting Detective Gordon be transferred to your Arkham Asylum as security. What do you think, should I reject it..."

The Mayor asked cautiously.

Although he didn't know Li Wei very well, the last time he saw Falcone's respectful attitude towards Li Wei, he understood Li Wei's standing and naturally wouldn't provoke him.

In fact, if he hadn't been unsure of Li Wei's intentions, he wouldn't have called Li Wei at all and would have simply rejected the Commissioner's request.

"No, Mr. Mayor, please approve it." A smile crept across Li Wei's lips. "Thank you for your trouble."

"No, no, no, it's no trouble at all, Warden Li Wei. You're too kind," the Mayor said, flattered over the phone.

Li Wei exchanged a few pleasantries with the Mayor before hanging up.

According to their conversation, Gordon would report to Arkham Asylum early tomorrow morning.

A sudden idea struck Li Wei.
