Chapter 98 Lei Xiaogu’s ambition

"Mr. Thomas, Mr. Keno, welcome you."

The iron door slowly opened, and the old man of the manor, the loyal butler of the Wayne family, Afu, greeted him politely.

Thomas asked anxiously: "I heard that Bruce injured his ankle from upstairs. How is he?"

The news of Bruce's injury could not be hidden from Gotham City's upper class for long.

After all, important invitations are waiting for Bruce, the richest man in Gotham, every day, so Bruce can only make up lies like "I sprained my foot when I went downstairs."

"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Thomas. He is much better." Ah Fu led the two of them into the living room.

Different from the luxurious and ancient decorative style of Luther Manor, the lobby of Wayne Castle reveals an ancient and gloomy feeling from the top ceiling to the furniture decoration.

Gino even wanted to laugh in his heart. No wonder Batman is so dark. He has lived in this kind of environment since he was a child. It is difficult not to become dark.

"Hey Thomas."

Bruce's voice sounded from the second floor as he limped down the stairs.

"Bruce, you should rest." Thomas stepped forward, hugged his old friend's neck, and said with a smile, "But unfortunately, you may not be able to attend the memorial service hosted by the mayor tomorrow night."

"I'm sorry." Bruce smiled bitterly, as if he was very sorry that he couldn't attend such a banquet.

Kino Jiraiya was sitting on the sofa, watching Bruce's performance, and secretly thought in his heart that he was indeed the darkest man in the DC world, and his acting skills were perfect.

Two men were sitting on the sofa chatting.

They chatted about Thomas' work for a while, and then Bruce looked at Gino unintentionally and said with a smile, "This is Gino, right?"

"Mr. Bruce, we meet again."

Gino looked at Bruce, his two pairs of blue eyes facing each other.

"Yeah, I still remember the question you asked me when we first met."

Bruce took the coffee brought by Alfred, put it in his mouth and took a sip, and in a faint tone he recounted what Gino had said: "What do you think of the city of Gotham?"

"I didn't expect Mr. Bruce to still remember." Jino smiled and took the coffee from Afu.

The two looked at each other.

"Just call me Bruce."

"Okay Bruce, so, what are your thoughts on Gotham City now?"

Listening to Gino's question, Bruce smiled and shrugged, looking frivolous: "What do you think Gotham is?"

Gino also smiled and said, "I think Gotham is paradise."

There was a smile in the young man's eyes, and he looked unpretentious.

It seems like he really thinks Gotham is a paradise city.

The two people's eyes intertwined in the air, and then, as if they had reached a critical point, they burst into light laughter.

Bruce laughed as Gino answered with the same answer he had told him that night.

But listening to this passage again, Bruce's heart was filled with bitterness.

"Hahaha!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

They laughed, even the right hand holding the coffee was trembling, and some coffee slipped down the rim of the cup and hit the expensive carpet.

Thomas looked at the two of them blankly. He couldn't understand what the point of the joke was, but he didn't want to be out of place, so he had to chuckle awkwardly.

Laughter floated along the halls of the castle,

Until a text message alert interrupted the laughter.

Bruce took out the text message on his phone from his pocket.

And when he saw the text message on his phone, the smile on his face instantly disappeared like ice and snow melting.

[Lei Xiaogu, the leader of the League of Assassins, learned of the destruction of the Court of Owls and led the League of Assassins to Gotham City, intending to deploy a dirty bomb to destroy Gotham. 】

Looking at this news, Bruce broke out in a cold sweat.

Lei Xiaogu, he remembered this name, he was half his teacher, and he was also the most brutal and crazy assassin leader.

"Feel sorry."

Bruce stood up abruptly: "I seem to have thought that the company has important meetings that I need to attend."

He couldn't waste any more time here, he needed to investigate immediately.

It is impossible for the assassins to sneak into Gotham City without leaving traces. Those cameras all over the streets and alleys of Gotham City will be Bruce's "eyes".

"Wait, Bruce?" Thomas watched with confusion as Bruce limped and disappeared into the hall. He didn't understand why Bruce was so urgent.

"Maybe we should visit some other time, Uncle Thomas." Gino's voice rang in Thomas' ears. The boy stared at Bruce's leaving back with a smile on his lips.

The curtain is rising~

Gotham subway.

The dark tunnel has always been the birthplace of various horror fairy tales.

"Buzz~"

An orange peel subway roared past the railroad.

Luka Walker is a villain who came to Gotham from Ukraine.

He committed a crime in his hometown and learned about Gotham from the Internet. After coming to Gotham four years ago, he joined the "Whispering Gang", one of the five major smuggling gangs that control the Gotham City subway.

In the past few years, they have divided up railway smuggling and lived happily.

However, this good life has obviously come to an end.

Luca was lying on the edge of the corner covered in blood.

His sleeves and cheeks were stained with blood, and his two thighs and hamstrings were picked out, making him look like a useless person.

The boys in his gang had long been turned into lifeless corpses lying on the cold and putrid subway platform.

Gotham's local gangsters are vulnerable to real "gangsters".

"Sukabule~"

Looking at the group of masked assassins surrounding him in silence, a trace of bitterness appeared on Luka's face.

This group of assassins seemed to fall from the sky, killing all his men and beating himself half to death.

"This is Gotham."

An old voice sounded slowly.

Luka slowly turned his head and saw,

In the dark tunnel, a thin figure slowly walked out of the shadows. This guy had a long white beard and carried an exaggeratedly large samurai sword on his back. His green eyes were full of coldness.

The old man was wearing green armor that seemed to be made of mithril. He glanced at Luca with disgust written on his face.

Lei Xiaogu looked ahead with his eyes, as if he could see Gotham City through the thick walls. He said: "This damn city has long since perished in the long river of history, and my arrival will purify this rotten city." City."

"Fuck Squid!" Knowing that he was going to die, Luka extended his middle finger towards this guy who looked like a leader: "Gotham is beautiful, long live Gotham! Fuck Squid!"

Before he could curse more, he was answered with a bunch of pale white sword light.

"Puch!"

The good man's head rose into the sky, and the headless corpse was filled with blood. Lei Xiaogu sheathed his sword indifferently. The old man looked into the distance quietly and waved slowly: "Forward, target, Gotham!"

"Wow!"

The assassins beat their chests with their right hands, and then they walked towards Gotham in an orderly manner.
