"It's just a small matter. You have to be more careful next time. After all, not everyone is as easy to talk to as us."
Li Ke rubbed the girl's hair and patted the shoulder of the boy who stood out to take the blame. Then, he left with Sarah. After all, they were just a group of children. There was no need to go overboard with words, a proper warning was enough. On the other hand, Sarah didn't say much. She just twisted her arm and grumbled a little.
"Seriously, Zu An's child is as impolite as ever."
After they turned around and left, there were cheers behind them. Li Ke also heard the familiar names of Ike and Ginghes. He was shocked and immediately turned around to look at the children who were celebrating their escape. He never thought that he would meet the 'heroes' of his youth again, and it was a group that hadn't split up.
He wouldn't dare to confirm it if it was anywhere else, but at this time, this place, and this age, these names were obviously old friends. There was no doubt that they were the future heroes.
Yes, Ike, Wei, Ginghes, and a few others. They were childhood playmates, but after they grew up, they went their separate ways. Wei joined the gang and was later subdued by Catherine to become a police officer. Ike became Zu An's right-hand man, leading a group of children to fight against Zu An's forces and protect the city. As for Ginghes …
She was crazy. Because of an accident, Wei's' betrayal ', or a leak of chemical materials, this timid girl had turned into a crazy loli. She seemed to be rational, but she was actually irrational. Chaos, explosions, and disorder were her only source of joy.
I wore it a little too early.
He sighed, because he remembered. The new version of Akali was also a child and was being trained by her mother, the Shadow Fist. As for the younger Annie, Li Ke couldn't even confirm if her parents were married or not. There were many people who would be heroes in the future, but they were either hibernating or growing up. Only 'old aunties' like Sarah and Aichy could compete with him.
"Then I think I can give them a better future."
Without thinking about these little heroes, Li Ke and Sarah quickly found a very expensive hotel in Piltwolf. With the help of a gentleman, they found a lawyer who could help them sign a contract. After signing the contract, they rested in a hotel in Piltwolf. But it was apparent that Li Ke, who had left most of the matters to Sarah, didn't intend to slack off. At night, after everyone had fallen asleep, he got up and found some spells that he had specially recorded in the pile of spell books that he brought over.
"The incantation is Alectus Caesar …"
Li Ke's figure began to blur in the quiet night as he recited the incantation and quickly became translucent. Although he wasn't familiar with the spell, it was enough for him to conceal himself. After all, he had learned how to infiltrate and assassinate in the past. After bidding farewell to the surprised Sarah, Li Ke jumped out of the corridor window and headed into the darkness of the city.
Piltwolf at night had sceneries that other cities didn't have. Street lamps illuminated the bustling city. The lights of entertainment venues weren't extinguished. One could even hear the clamor of men and women. The manors of the rich were brightly lit, and one could see banquets being held in the city. However, Li Ke didn't have the intention to join in. He was clad in black and used his invisibility spell to move swiftly from roof to roof. He avoided the patrolling policemen in carriages and headed towards the Harrison Trade Association that they visited during the day.
If one wanted to understand the darkness of a city, they would have to start from the lowest and highest levels. In this era, there was a shortcut, and that was to obtain information from legal goods.
The moment Li Ke entered Zu 'an from Piltwolf, he felt a subtle difference. Zu' an at night was much livelier than Piltwolf. Li Ke stepped onto the roof of a building and saw a hoodlum whose arms were replaced by steel. He was holding a gun and threatening the owner of the building. He ordered the owner's wife and son to prepare enough money to satisfy him.
"I'm not a superhero."
He turned around, jumped, and landed directly in front of the open door. Then, the moment the gangster heard the sound of landing and turned his head, Li Ke's fist smashed into his head, breaking his nose. Then, before he fell, Li Ke turned around and kicked his chest fiercely. Not only was the iron plate on his chest deformed, but several of his ribs were also broken. In an instant, he lost the ability to fight.
Then, Li Ke used the reaction force to dash out of the door. With two leaps, he arrived on the roof of the house and continued to move toward his goal. The family stared blankly at the unconscious hoodlum who suddenly fell. They couldn't believe their eyes. From their point of view, it was a gust of air that assaulted the hoodlum and saved their family. The entire process didn't even take two seconds.
What Li Ke didn't expect was that just when he thought it was just an interlude, his sharp hearing once again let him know that something terrible was happening. Three hundred meters ahead, a young couple who seemed to have just gotten off work were blocked by a large group of gangsters in an alley. Just like the previous house, although the people in the surrounding rooms knew what was going on, they didn't even dare to turn on the lights, let alone go out to help.
But that wasn't the most ridiculous thing. The most ridiculous thing was that about two hundred metres away from the young couple, another case occurred. A guy who looked like a child jumped out of the window of a house. The owner of the house was also holding his wooden stick, ready to teach the thief a lesson. So Li Ke quickly jumped in front of the young couple and blocked the hoodlums' blades for them. But this time, his invisibility spell, which he wasn't very familiar with, dissipated in an instant. The hoodlum couldn't help but scream because of Li Ke's sudden appearance.
Li Ke naturally noticed this. Fortunately, he wore a hat and a high-collared black shirt to cover his face when he went out today. Then he kicked the hoodlum who might have seen his face, sending him flying more than six metres away and crashing into a trash can. Before the remaining hoodlums could react, he pulled up his collar and asked the question that had been bothering him since the beginning.
"Is this Gotham?"
Then, with a burst of shouting, hoodlums began to fly out of the alley.
