The convicts were busy loading their goods, and each of them showed a spirit that they would not normally have, because their boss, Karmin Falcone, was there today to watch them work.

What no one noticed was that the capes were fluttering in the moonlight, and the huge bat figures were crouching high, watching their every move.

"It looks like it's going to be as expected, sir." Alfred said in Batman's communicator, "The Romans were really there. ”

"It's rare, but it's also our chance." Batman said.

This was the exact information that Batman had received a day earlier, Falcone had a very important shipment arriving tonight, and the importance of it was so important that he could not rest assured that anyone but himself would oversee the work. Normally, Falcone would almost never appear in person on such an occasion, just as he was so cunning not to leave even the slightest evidence of his criminal activity that could have traced him.

Therefore, his presence in person tonight is very rare, which makes it impossible for Batman to miss such an opportunity. If Falcone can be caught red-handed here, it will be a crucial step in the chess game to bring down Falcone.

Confirming that the time was ripe, Batman stood up and spread his cloak and leaped down like wings.

"He's coming!"

Someone exclaimed.

The thugs put down their goods one after another, grabbed their guns and fired at Batman.

Of course, it won't be of any use. Smoke grenades come almost with Batman, and the choking smoke screen quickly steals everyone's view except for Batman, who has already activated thermal imaging cameras to capture the shape of his enemies. It only took him a moment's work, and all the people present were already unconscious.

Except for Falcone.

Facing the majestic figure of the devil of hell in front of him, as if he had finally been caught, Carmine Falcone showed a strange calmness. No, not just calmly, even smugly.

"All the stolen goods, Falcone." Batman said coldly, "You're done." ”

Falcone smiled and shook his head, "No, it's you." ”

As if to confirm his words, the figures flickered in the darkness around him, and after a few rolls like juggling, six ninjas carrying oriental swords, black armor, and face scarves surrounded Batman in the middle.

Batman's eyes froze: "League of Assassins." You didn't listen to my advice, Falcone. The League of Assassins is not an ally you can control, and you'll regret it. ”

"Maybe, but you have to admit that I took you this time." Falcone said as he pushed down a crate of goods next to him, which was scattered with sand.

"You must think I'm smuggling something nasty, right?" Falcone was even more proud, "Actually, it's just a bit of a quirky rich man who hired some helpers to help carry some sand from out of town." You know, there's no beach in Gotham. ”

A complete trap, and he just took the bait. Batman knew in his heart that he was obviously a little too agitated these days, and he stepped into the trap almost without thinking about getting a clue that might be evidence for Falcone's conviction.

But Batman is a smart man, he can even rank among the smartest people in the world, and he won't be defenseless about the possibility that this is a trap. In fact, he was quite conceited.

Batman glanced around the ninjas and said in a dark voice, "Do you think you can defeat me with these ninjas?" ”

"Of course they can't, detective."

This time, the voice came out of the shadows, old but vibrant. An old man came out of the darkness. Dressed in a dark green fluffy cape, a yellow coat that symbolizes luxury, and a unique square scalp boot with a quality that is not inferior to any of the top designer shoes, he has a confident and powerful gaze, but also hides the ferocity of a cheetah and the sharpness of a falcon. His steps were graceful and unhurried, but as soon as he appeared, the several ninjas who had laid out the frame to besiege Batman saluted respectfully and stepped back half a step to make way for space.

"Lei Xiaogu." Batman coldly pronounced the man's name.

Yes, this old man who looks to be in his sixties is the leader of the League of Assassins, Lei Xiaogu, who is known as the master ninja. While most people are fooled by his appearance, his actual age is several hundred years old, and he may not be able to remember it himself.

These are all thanks to a miraculous spring.

"You can go, Mr. Culming." Lei Xiaogu said coldly.

Falcone smiled and said, "Don't forget our agreement. ”

"Of course, the control of Gotham is yours, and we of the League of Assassins have no interest. A ninja master never breaks his word. ”

"I believe you, there is simply nothing more reliable in the world than your credibility." Falcone left satisfied.

Batman asked coldly, "You're not going to give Gotham to him honestly like that, are you?" ”

"You know I'm never dishonest, detective." Lei Xiaogu said, paused and said, "I promised him that this city could be managed by him, but whether there is anyone left for him to take care of is another matter." ”

"What do you want to do?"

"You want to know? Detective? Simple, join us. "Take my place and become the successor Ninja Master, and you will have all the resources of the Assassin Alliance and all the secrets of the Alliance." Then you will be able to know our plans as a matter of course. ”

Batman said, "I turned down your invitation a long time ago, and my answer will not change in the future." ”

"It's a pity." Lei Xiaogu shook his head, "Then I'll have to ask you to leave early, detective." As far as we know, you're too dangerous for any of our plans, and I don't want to hurt you, but you've left me with no choice. ”

Batman raised his fists and made a fighting stance: "You can try." ”

If someone who knows him is here, then he (or she) can safely say that this time Batman is really 100% focused. The ninja master has not lived in vain for hundreds of years, not to mention that when he stood in the position of ninja master hundreds of years ago, his strength had reached a peak before it was possible to stand in this position, and it was possible to stand in this position for several lifetimes of normal people, even if they were not talented, ordinary people should practice to become martial arts masters.

So in the face of Lei Xiaogu, even Batman has no room to relax.

Lei Xiaogu kept smiling and made a defiant gesture, as if disdainful.

Batman took a big step, his fist wrapped in black gloves slammed into Lei Xiaogu's face.

Lei Xiaogu took the slightest step back and easily waved his hand away from the punch.

They all knew that the first move could only be a temptation, like a precursor to the tranquility before a storm.

After a few rounds of tentative testing, the real showdown finally began. Batman's left hand flickered again in a similar way to before, but it was just a feign to attract attention, and his knee was already raised at the same time, hitting the opponent's abdomen.

Lei Xiao is an ancient master, and he has so much experience in combat, he immediately saw through his little tricks, slightly turned his head to avoid the feint, and blocked Batman's sudden knee with one hand.

But his response was also expected by Batman, the raised leg did not fall, the calf that was originally vertical to the ground suddenly bounced, and the attack distance increased sharply.

It is difficult for most people to react to such a change in the aftermath, but Lei Xiaogu is obviously not among those people. He responded with the same surprising speed, his body moving sideways as if he had anticipated the attack, narrowly avoiding the kick, and at the same time quickly closing the distance, his wrinkled hand grabbing forward like an eagle's claw.

Batman hurriedly stepped back, and Thunder's talons flashed across his chest, slightly scratching the surface of the bat mark on his chest, revealing the idiosyncratic fibers underneath. Although he couldn't completely penetrate the defense, being able to leave such marks on the bulletproof equipment was enough to show how strong the ninja master's grip was. Even with a sharp knife, if you don't have enough strength, you won't be able to leave such marks.

After a slight pause, the two fought again.

The six ninjas gathered their swords and watched respectfully. It was a common rule in the League of Assassins that when a Master Ninja decided to shoot at someone, no one else was allowed to do so. And whoever wins the ninja master in a one-on-one battle is the new ninja master, and everyone in the Assassin League will be the first to take the lead.

There was another reason, and that was that the ninjas of the League of Assassins all believed that no one could defeat their leader, Lei Xiaogu, and no one, not even the detective who the leader himself was most optimistic about.

And that's exactly what they think. Although Batman has integrated various martial arts such as tiger, jiu-jitsu, karate, Chinese kung fu, etc., and can almost be said to be perfect in every move, Lei Xiaogu is even better. There was a rush of quick attack and quick defense, and Batman was hit to varying degrees in many parts of his body.

Eventually, he fell. The ninja master is invincible, and Thunder Xiao Gu once again perpetuates this myth.

"Take him back." Lei Xiaogu elegantly tidied up his shirt and said, "Try to be polite." ”
