This should count as a surprise!
Now, there was no gang in Gotham's underworld that could stand against Cobblepot. He had truly become the King of Gotham!
Next, as long as Cobblepot digested the forces and assets left behind by Maroni and Falcone, his throne as King of Gotham would become even more secure.
But!
That was only the result under Gotham's current circumstances. Now that Bruce Wayne had embarked on the path to becoming Batman, Gotham's future villains and superheroes would explode onto the scene in droves!
Against those villains and superheroes, Cobblepot's gang forces would no longer be enough!
What Li Wei intended to give him was a Hero Template.
Graves the Outlaw!
The fruit was ripe. It was time to pick it!
Only after coming to Arkham Asylum for further study could Cobblepot be considered a qualified villain!
The Hero Template could make up for Cobblepot's lack of personal power, while Li Wei could gain a new Hero Template vessel...
Whether Cobblepot won or not was anyone's guess, but Li Wei thought this was a win-win!
And he was winning big!
Five hundred million dollars for a Hero Template—the value was simply off the charts, wasn't it?
Meanwhile, Cobblepot had no expectations whatsoever for the surprise Li Wei mentioned.
If he could, he would rather stay as far away from Li Wei as possible.
Unfortunately, the choice was not his to make.
The only thing that consoled him was that, judging from the call just now, Li Wei did not seem to intend to cause him trouble. It was just five hundred million dollars...
At that thought, Cobblepot's heart bled.
There was no helping it. He had to pay. He would treat it as buying peace of mind.
He had become the King of Gotham, that was
