Chapter 1017 Wayne Manor at Night

"The whole world is in a state of near-standstill terror, but nothing seems to have changed for Gotham," Li Chengfeng grumbled as he sipped the cream of mushroom soup Alfred had brought him. "They've been through so much hardship, and now that the world is really coming to an end, it feels like a welcome relief for them... A bit of a sweet spot amidst the hardship, right?"

"That's like saying my usual cleanup of Gotham is completely ineffective."

"Bat, I'm just complaining. I'm not dissatisfied with your methods. Maintaining balance is to prevent these lunatics in Gotham from becoming even more destructive..." Li Chengfeng curled his lips. "Of course, for me personally, this is still because you're not strong enough... As long as you can kill everyone in a short enough time, then this bullshit balance will no longer be necessary."

"Did you think I hadn't thought about it?" Bruce Wayne put down his spoon, his expression somewhat serious. "But unfortunately, there is a madman among them who can keep resurrecting."

"Tsk, that's true... The Joker's grandson is already crazy. If you do this and destroy his paradise, he'll really go crazy. Then ordinary people will be the ones who suffer." Li Chengfeng smacked his lips twice. "So until you find a way to prevent his resurrection or permanently imprison him, you can only try to maintain the status quo, right?"

"Lee, you sound just like another Bruce," Dick interjected. "No one has ever understood him like you do."

"Oh, thank you for the compliment." Li Chengfeng raised his eyebrows at Dick, "So how are you getting along with that beautiful green-eyed, red-haired alien girl?"

"Not bad... Of course, it would be better if the energy didn't go out of control when the emotions got too intense."

The alien girl mentioned by Li Chengfeng is naturally Dick Grayson’s official CP, the alien princess from Tamaran, Starfire.

Although Dick and Starfire got along very well, even to the point of living together...

But if the plot develops normally, everything will be disrupted by the runaway ravens on the day of their wedding.

Afterwards, Starfire was worried that the voices against aliens would cause public outrage against Dick and the entire superhero community, so after much consideration, she broke up with Dick.

I have to say it’s a pity.

But Bruce Wayne's eyes clearly showed that he did not approve of Dick and Starfire living together.

Although Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent are as close as a brother and he respects Martian Manhunter, in fact, Bruce Wayne's attitude towards other alien creatures has always been neutral and even disgusted.

Of course, he also has this attitude towards the super-powered people who appear out of nowhere.

In essence, it is a vigilance and scrutiny against unstable factors.

It's just that Dick Grayson is his eldest adopted son, and coupled with the worries of an old father, the current situation naturally emerged.

Dick obviously knew Bruce Wayne's attitude, so he didn't continue talking and just continued eating.

However, Li Chengfeng obviously had no intention of letting them go.

"Why are you all silent? Bat, aren't you interested in your adopted son's girlfriend? Hmm?" Li Chengfeng chuckled mischievously. "You're not young anymore. Don't you want to be a grandfather before others even get married?"

"You..." At this moment, Bruce Wayne really wanted to kill Li Chengfeng.

However, Alfred, who was busy at the side, came forward and said to Li Chengfeng, "I really hope to see the next generation of the Wayne family... Now even this dining table is not full, it's really too lonely."

"Alfred!"

"What's wrong Master Bruce?"

"...Give me some more soup."

"Well, it seems that tonight's topic has whetted your appetite, young master."

Just after Alfred ended the topic that made Bruce Wayne feel uncomfortable, the door of Wayne Manor was slowly pushed open.

A man came in pushing another person in a wheelchair.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound...

The person pushing the wheelchair was none other than the chief of the Gotham Police Department, Jim Gordon.

As for the red-haired girl in the wheelchair, needless to say...

Barbara Gordon, the former Batgirl and current Oracle.

Her figure sitting in a wheelchair irritated Bruce Wayne's nerves all the time.

...This is the disaster left behind by the Joker's deadly joke back then.

"It seems like you guys are having a good time tonight," Barbara Gordon said with a smile, "but the news that follows isn't very good."

"Barbara, what's the news?" Bruce Wayne wiped his mouth, walked over, and knelt on one knee in front of Barbara and asked, "The timing is very sensitive... Any news is very important."

"It's because it's so important that I chose to come and explain it to you in person." Barbara nodded, then leaned forward and whispered, "You should know that I've been monitoring the world's major criminal organizations..."

"Yes, you did a great job."

"Of course, I'm the best." Barbara twitched her lips and continued, "Not long ago, the Assassin's League came out in full force."

"The Assassin's League is out in full force? Is it the headquarters?"

"It's the Assassin's League headquarters and all its branches, all coming out in full force."

"Who is the target?"

"Gotham," Barbara said, raising her finger. "You, to be exact."

"I?"

"Perhaps the mastermind behind this villain uprising is dissatisfied with Gotham's peaceful life... Oh my god, I actually used this word to describe Gotham... In short, the Assassin's League is here to escalate the situation."

"That's really good news." Li Chengfeng's voice sounded from the side, "I've been so idle these past few days that I'm almost going crazy."

As he spoke, Li Chengfeng put his left hand on Director Gordon's shoulder, grabbed control of Barbara Gordon's wheelchair with his right hand, and directly sent the father and daughter to the dining table.

"The Assassin's League won't be able to make it tonight anyway, so why not just stay and eat together?"

Before Li Chengfeng took any action, Alfred had already placed the clean tableware on the empty seat on the dining table.

"Um, I'm here to deliver a message."

"Have you conveyed the message? If you have, it's just a visit between friends." Li Chengfeng smiled and patted Barbara's shoulder. "Alfred's menu tonight is very rich."

"……All right."

"I'm glad you're back, Xiaoba." Dick raised his head and showed a long-lost smile.

"Dick, I never left."

Wayne Manor at night ushered in a rare warm and happy time.
