Chapter 228 "Al Ghul"

Bruce looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. His eyes were a little complicated. During the years when he traveled around the world and studied with teachers everywhere, he was accepted as a disciple by Ra'as Al Ghul for a period of time and joined the League of Shadows.

Of course, Bruce at that time hadn't realized that the League of Shadows, or Ra'as Al Ghul in other words, was evil.

Al Ghul seems to be only in his fifties, but he is an old man who has lived for nearly seven hundred years.

The former Ra'as Al Ghul was just an ordinary person. He also traveled around the world and learned about various races and civilizations. One day, he accidentally discovered a cave on the Arabian Peninsula in a desert.

Deep in the cave, there is a magical swamp. This swamp has a very magical effect. It can instantly recover from physical injuries, prolong life, and bring the dead back to life.

This is the Lazarus Pit.

In the following years, Al Ghul had a long lifespan. During this period, he accumulated countless wealth, recruited troops, and established the League of Shadows.

After Al Ghul experienced some tragic things, he began to want to build an ideal world. He wanted to clean up all the corruption and filth in this world and make this world an ideal country of peace. As for how to judge corruption and crime, it is only in Al Ghul's thoughts.

Even if Al Ghul has a long lifespan, his wisdom and vision are still at the level of mortals. How can a mortal accurately judge whether a country or civilization is hopeless?

Therefore, Al Ghul's behavior is becoming more and more like a paranoid and cold-blooded person.

"Is Talia okay?"

When Bruce met the leader of the League of Shadows again, he had a lot of questions to ask, but hesitated for a moment and finally asked Talia Al Ghul about it.

Talia is Bruce's lover in the League of Shadows.

Hearing Bruce Wayne mentioning his daughter, Al Ghul's eyes were calm, and he continued to say, "Talia was grounded for violating the regulations. If you want to see her, you can go back with me."

"You are the one behind the Gotham smuggling case?" Bruce didn't continue on Talia's topic.

As early as he learned of the mysterious group in the smuggling business, Bruce thought of the League of Shadows. However, when Bruce left the League of Shadows, he saw Al Ghul die before his eyes, so Bruce did not have Al Ghul as the main suspect.

His guess is that a certain powerful existence has replaced Al Ghul to be in charge of the League of Shadows. Until today, he saw Al Ghul again.

Al Ghul admitted without hesitation, "Yes, I am saving this decadent and depraved city. Since I established the League of Shadow hundred years ago, I have been committed to preventing mankind from going down the path of degeneration."

"When a civilization is decayed to the extreme, we will clear it and restore the balance of the world. We have baptized Rome and London in history, and it turns out that we have indeed brought new life to the decayed civilization."

"That's why you want to destroy Gotham City?" Bruce thought Al Ghul's idea was ridiculous.

Bruce Wayne glanced at the surrounding guests. The guests enjoyed the banquet, and no one noticed their conversation.

"Not everyone in Gotham City is guilty. There are still many good people among them. I can save them and save this city." Bruce didn't want to fight Al Ghul at the banquet. He tried to persuade him.

He believes that killing all evils is the simplest and most effective way to save a decaying civilization.

"You can't save anyone, Bruce. This is not the first time we have destroyed Gotham City. I once wanted to use economic means to destroy this city, but I underestimated your parents' financial ability. In order to make up for that mistake, I have prepared a new plan that has been in the making for years."

While Al Ghul was speaking, a strong smell of gasoline wafted out of his nostrils. Outside the manor, a man in the uniform of the League of Shadows poured gasoline on Wayne Manor and set it on fire.

The sudden raging fire instantly plunged all the people attending the banquet into chaos.

Outside the windows around the banquet hall, a large number of warriors broke in through the windows, rushed into the crowd, and started killing them. After the initial chaos, the guards of Wayne Manor began to put out the fire in an orderly manner and fought the sudden appearance of intruders.

Bruce took advantage of the chaos and returned to his room, quickly put on a set of Batman suits, and returned to the banquet hall.

The banquet hall was extremely chaotic, and the guests who were immersed in the elegant banquet atmosphere a second ago now looked like a flock of sheep rushing like being chased by wild wolves and fleeing in fright.

Batman returned to the banquet hall and immediately fought with the enemy, who tried to kill a lady. Within three strokes, he knocked out the enemy, and with the appearance of Batman, more enemies surrounded him.

Even facing six or seven well-trained warriors at the same time, Batman is still able to handle it with ease. He searched for Al Ghul in the banquet hall, but when he looked around, he didn't see Al Ghul at all.

Bruce figures out why Al Ghul deliberately chose this banquet and burned Wayne Manor, using the lives of these guests to restrain Bruce so that he can smoothly carry out the plan to destroy Gotham City.

Because in Al Ghul's view, only his most proud disciple in Gotham can stop his plan. As long as Bruce is dealt with, Gotham will be easy to be taken care of.

No matter how strong Bruce's force value is, he can't quell the turmoil in Wayne Manor in a short time. He is now caught in a difficult decision.

Save Gotham City or stay in the manor to protect these guests, regardless of Al Ghul's plan.

He fell into a dilemma.

-----

Scarecrow activated the device. The powerful microwave energy instantly evaporated the water in the town water pipes into water vapor.

Immediately afterward, countless water vapors carrying fear gas toxins enveloped the entire Island in an instant. Countless people inhaled the fear gas and fell into a nightmarish hallucination.

A large number of people flooded the streets and began to wreak havoc. After receiving the report, the Gotham City Police Department immediately organized a large number of police forces to go to suppress the riots.

Al Ghul hijacked a train that traveled between The Downtown and The Narrows.

The device has turned The Narrows into a hell on earth. What Al Ghul needs to do now is to use the train to transport the transmitter from The Narrows to the center of Gotham City, where the Wayne Building is located.

He only needs to activate the device again in Wayne Building. Then the entire Gotham City will be shrouded in the fear gas toxin. At that time, the sins will be completely washed away, and the decayed civilization will also usher in a new life.
