The heavens begin with the king of gotham

Chapter 361 Bruce returns from his studies

Li Ming was not anxious at all about this mission.

[Main mission: Symbol. 】

[Task requirements: Within a 200-day time limit, cultivate five Gotham local iconic figures recognized by the outside world. The current progress is 3/5. 】

As soon as he saw the mission, he had already completed more than half of the progress. Li Ming had never fought such a rich battle.

Gotham's mission has been in the same vein, from the initial creation of power, to expansion and domination. Now Gotham has been mastered internally and has begun to expand its influence on the outside world.

In addition to him, there are already three of the five characters who can represent Gotham, and Li Ming can guess who they are.

Penguin, Riddler, and Gordon.

They are the three cornerstones of Gotham's municipal government. They have appeared in the outside world as early as in Borderlands a few years ago and have a high reputation.

Nowadays, the independent Gotham is governed in an orderly manner by them. Although crime is unavoidable in such a large city, compared with other big cities, Gotham is considered a paradise for political leaders and people.

So the three of them, except Li Ming, are Gotham's external business cards.

This is also due to Li Ming's good layout before. Now he only has two people left to complete the task.

The first thing he thought of was of course Batman.

Although he had been in the League of Assassins for six years, Bruce was wary of everyone except Henry Ducard.

Even though the current leader has emphasized to him countless times that the purpose of the League of Assassins is to uphold justice and eliminate evil, Bruce never fully believes it.

He has already been taught by Li Ming, and inflammatory language cannot fool him.

It's just that no one came to disturb his study, and he didn't have any extraneous problems.

But during the ceremony to officially join the League of Assassins, the current leader finally told him that his purpose was to destroy Gotham.

Let him, the son of Gotham, go, it would be a vote of confidence and it would be simpler.

After all, no one is prepared to prevent Bruce Wayne from destroying Gotham.

The League of Assassins pulled a corrupt bureaucrat and threw it in front of Bruce, telling him that if he wanted to join, he would kill the man with a knife.

Henry Ducard stood beside Bruce, nervously observing his choice.

In the past few years, he has been instilling in Bruce ideas such as the supremacy of justice and using violence to fight violence. Now it is time to test the results.

Little did he know that Bruce had already labeled them "as expected" in his heart.

"You can't possibly believe this, can you?"

Bruce suddenly asked him in a low voice.

In the League of Assassins, Henry Ducard, as his master, was one of the few people he was close to.

"Lexiao Ogu saved us from the dark corners of our hearts. The reward he asked for was our courage to carry out justice." Henry Ducard said without changing his face.

But he suddenly felt a drumbeat in his heart. Could it be that he hadn't been able to change Bruce's mind after so many years?

Fortunately, Bruce finally nodded and raised the knife.

But under Henry Ducard's surprised gaze, Bruce picked up the brazier with his knife and hit it directly on the gunpowder piled inside the house.

"What are you doing?" asked Rexiao Ogu, disguised as Henry Ducard.

"Do what is right."

Bruce replied, then picked up his samurai sword and started fighting with the fake leader. By this time, the gunpowder had exploded, and soon the entire wooden house was crumbling.

Now Bruce was completely reborn. As an outstanding graduate of the League of Assassins, the fake leader persisted for a while before being defeated by Bruce and then killed by a falling beam.

Leixiao Ogu was very angry when he saw this. He worked hard to teach Bruce for more than six years, but in the end Bruce burned down his base camp.

But after a long life, Leixiao Aogu had become accustomed to failure, and he immediately pretended to be comatose and fell to the ground.

As expected, Bruce couldn't bear to see him die in the fire, so he directly carried him out. But Bruce didn’t stop either. He placed Henry Ducard where the flames could not burn and left directly.

He has found the power he wanted, and it's time to return to Gotham and continue to defend the city.

"This is the second time Leixiao Aogu has fallen into trouble at the hands of Bruce, right?
  Li Ming thought.

From Lei Xiao Ogu's point of view, Bruce was a heartless man who ate from me, lived in my house, and in the end even demolished my house.

However, he had ulterior motives. He could only say that he didn't expect Bruce's will to be so strong and unaffected by him.

After some travels, Bruce returned to New Gotham.

This is an area on the other side of Gotham. Most of the people who evacuated Gotham during the Borderlands a few years ago were resettled here.

It was originally a refugee shelter, but with funding from Gotham and Wayne Group, the refugees lived a good life. As a result, it also attracted many homeless people and low-income people from other areas to live there.

So after the people of Gotham returned, there were still a considerable number of residents here.

Even some Gothamites who have properties here and some Gotham families who have lost their land have chosen to stay here.

Because the infrastructure was intact and there were many foreign residents, the place soon became lively again, forming a town about one-third the size of Gotham.

Because it was born from Gotham, it is also called New Gotham.

But the positioning of New Gotham is very awkward. The first is the issue of ownership.

This land belongs to the suburbs of the metropolitan area and should be under the jurisdiction of the metropolitan municipal government, but the metropolitan area does not want to have such a hot potato on its hands.

The tax revenue is not much, but a lot of money has to be paid.

So for New Gotham, the mayor of Metropolis's greatest effort is to lobby Congress to divide New Gotham into an autonomous county.

Gotham would like to take care of it, but the "Gotham Act" prevents the government from interfering with Gotham, and also limits Gotham's expansion. At most, it can provide limited support with some supplies.

Moreover, the personnel composition of New Gotham is also very complex, including old Gotham families, a small number of Gotham people, various outsiders, various gangs, basements, etc.

In addition, the local officialdom was ineffective and the police station was rapidly corrupting.

The new Gotham is very much like the old Gotham.

It is worth mentioning that the attribute bonus of Li Ming’s Gotham Scepter is also effective in New Gotham.

As Bruce walked on the streets of New Gotham, he actually felt like he was back in his childhood.

After easily getting rid of a few gangsters who were following him, Bruce looked at the gangsters and robbers who poked their heads out of the alley.

He couldn't help but shake his head: "Bad memories."

Even so, there are many ordinary residents in New Gotham, because in this mixed area, you can really make money.

At least Bruce has seen several stores in his memory moved here, making it difficult for him to completely separate the new Gotham from the old Gotham.

"I want to help them if I can."

Bruce thought to himself.

Then he returned directly to Wayne Manor without stopping. He had informed Afu in advance that he was going home, and now Bruce couldn't wait.

When he arrived at the gate of the manor, he immediately saw Li Ming and Alfred waiting for him.

Bruce ran over in surprise.

"plum!"
