Chapter 003: Madhouse

For this very reason, Wang Bo was utterly perplexed that Carmine Falcone had gone to Naihe Island.

A wise man does not stand beneath a crumbling wall. Could it be that Carmine Falcone did not understand this principle? Impossible, Wang Bo shook his head. An underworld boss like him cherishes his life more than anyone else—how could he not understand this?

Then his journey to Naihe Island must be for something very important.

But none of this had anything to do with Wang Bo, because he was nothing more than a salary thief who clocked in and clocked out; even if Carmine wanted to court death, Wang Bo wouldn't stop him.

Rather, if Carmine died, it would be just as well—he wouldn't resign.

By then, Wang Bo could find a place to hide and live out his happy days.

Unfortunately, with Carmine Falcone's skills, having thrived in Gotham City for so many years, he probably wouldn't fall in a place like Naihe Island.

A small Naihe Island could not do anything to him.

Sure enough, to defeat Carmine Falcone, Batman had to step in.

But when will Batman return?

Wang Bo recalled the plot; the time he was in, within this Dark Knight Trilogy, should be the first film.

Seven years ago, after Carmine Falcone taught Bruce Wayne a lesson in his own lair, the young master of Wayne Enterprises left his homeland, traveling the world incognito in search of the most effective methods to fight crime, so that the world's most vicious villains would tremble at the mere mention of his name.

He wandered all over the world. To understand the criminal mind, Bruce also committed crimes himself and was consequently arrested and imprisoned. In prison, he encountered a mysterious figure named Ducard.

Ducard brought Bruce into an organization called the League of Shadows and became Bruce's mentor, teaching him formidable martial arts skills and strong willpower, granting him the ability to fight crime and eradicate evil forces.

Later, Bruce Wayne completed his training, and when the League of Shadows ordered him to kill a criminal to prove his commitment to justice, Bruce refused without hesitation.

Because by that time, Bruce had already decided to become a fearsome figure who would make criminals tremble.

He would plunge criminals into their deepest fears, yet he would not kill them, because he believed he had no right to kill criminals—only the law had the right to judge a person.

This made the members of the Shadow Dancer Alliance uncomfortable.

Afterwards, Bruce realized that the League of Shadows had trained him in order to have him lead the destruction of Gotham City.

So Bruce immediately turned against the League of Shadows, destroyed their base, and killed their leader... Ra's al Ghul.

But he did not know that the Ra's al Ghul he killed was not the real Ra's al Ghul.

The true ninja master was actually his teacher, Ducard, who had been training him all along.

The ninja master he killed was merely a decoy.

Bruce Wayne, kept in the dark, not only failed to kill the true Master of Ninjas but instead saved his master during the explosion of the Shadow Dancer base.

Afterward, the well-trained Bruce Wayne returned to Gotham City and became Batman.

Not long after, when the real ninja master had recovered from his injuries, he brought his men to Gotham City, determined to personally eliminate Batman and destroy Gotham.

But that was a matter for the future.

Because at this time, Bruce Wayne had not yet returned.

This shows that Bruce Wayne is still training with the League of Shadows under Ra's al Ghul and has not yet completed his apprenticeship.

But it should be soon.

Because Wang Bo remembered that Bruce Wayne returned to Gotham City after being missing for seven years.

And now, seven years had passed since Bruce Wayne's disappearance, which meant he could return at any moment.

But as for exactly when, Wang Bo really didn't know.

Perhaps today, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps a month from now.

But he was well aware that the first thing Bruce Wayne would do after returning was to deal with Carmine Falcone.

For all his power in Gotham, his bought-off cops and prosecutors, his far-reaching influence, Carmine Falcone's strength was nothing in the eyes of the Batman.

After all, once a real war with Batman began, he and his men were no match for Batman at all.

In other words, Carmine Falcone won't be able to stay arrogant for much longer.

And this job of his would soon be lost.

So Wang Bo was now multitasking, driving while starting to think about how to extricate himself—he had no desire to be locked up in Blackgate Prison along with Carmine Falcone.

Before long, they finally reached Naihe Island.

After driving into Naihe Island, the group continued for another ten-plus minutes before parking their car in front of a mental hospital.

Wang Bo and his party were the first to get out of the car, keeping watch on their surroundings.

After confirming there was no danger around, Leonardo personally opened the door for Carmine Falcone.

"BOSS, we've arrived."

Wang Bo turned his head to look. An old man with white hair, wearing sunglasses and a black suit, stepped out of the car. From his appearance, this Carmine Falcone absolutely did not look like a mafia boss.

More like a successful person from high society who has made it in their career.

But unfortunately, there is a saying in the world that you can't judge a book by its cover.

Many people cannot be judged by appearances; those who look elegant and graceful but have filthy hearts are everywhere.

Beasts in human attire are even more numerous than hairs on an ox.

It was clear that Carmine Falcone was exactly that kind of person.

Surrounded by a crowd, Carmine Falcone walked into the psychiatric hospital. As Wang Bo entered, he glanced at the hospital's name.

Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane!

This line of large characters almost startled Wang Bo, because he knew very well what this line represented.

Gotham City, where the folk are simple and honest; Arkham, where talents emerge in abundance!

And this Elizabeth Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane is actually the abbreviated name for Arkham Asylum.

This is the most famous building in the DC universe.

Most of the inmates held there are extremely dangerous high-intelligence criminals. It can be said that virtually every famous villain in the Batman series will eventually be personally delivered here by Batman. This includes the famous "Joker," "Harley Quinn," "Bane," "Penguin," "Two-Face," "Riddler," "Scarecrow," "Poison Ivy," "Mr. Freeze," "Killer Croc," "Clayface," "Mad Hatter," and others—truly a dazzling array of stars.

According to incomplete statistics, the most popular person in this place is none other than Batman, as the criminals he alone has sent in have nearly filled up more than half of Arkham Asylum.
