He was selling gashapon toys in Marvel Studios, and at the beginning, Tony turned into Kuuga.

Just then.

boom!

A batarang flew out of the shadows, striking the side of the green light structure precisely, but missing its structural support.

The green handcuffs grazed Li Ang's shoulder and slammed into the tarmac.

At the same time, a black cloak fell from above.

Batman landed heavily between the crowd and Li Ang, raising his arm guards to block the falling sword.

Stop.

"Batman said in a deep voice."

"You're stopping us?" Diana frowned.

Hal stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

"I advise you not to lay a hand on him; his strength far exceeds your imagination."

Batman didn't turn around; his eyes behind the black mask were as cold as ice.

"Didn't you hear me? He gave the Joker his powers!" Hal roared, descending from mid-air.

"I heard that, and I've also patronized his shop."

Batman's voice was very low.

"The group of people around him once demonstrated power capable of destroying the world in the store."

"Tony Stark, Avenger, Asgardian, alien mercenary, and a 53-meter-tall mech."

"Did you make up all these names on the spot?"

Hal's expression froze, and a bold guess suddenly popped into his head.

"Is the current state of Gotham a result of some kind of compromise you and the Joker have reached?"

"I don't need to lie!"

Batman turned his head and stared nervously at Li Ang.

"Look, this is Batman."

Li Ang clapped softly.

"When he can't win a fight, he will at least gather intelligence first."

"So we're just letting him continue selling his abilities?" Hal's face darkened.

"No." Batman paused for half a second, then turned to look at the Joker.

"Take care of the Joker first."

"Oh dear, you finally remembered me." The clown spread his hands.

He took a step back, his toes touching the edge of the tarmac.

"But I've had enough fun tonight, especially with this little Jin Guang kid, he was really interesting."

The clown blew a kiss to Zhang Chulan.

See you next time.

Zhang Chulan felt a chill.

"Please don't do it again next time, really."

Diana brandished her longsword, aiming straight for the Joker's face.

Hal simultaneously constructed a green cage in an attempt to trap the Joker.

Batman raised his hand and fired three batarangs, blocking the Joker's escape routes to the left and right.

All three parties acted simultaneously.

The clown laughed even harder.

boom!

The charred toy soldier at his feet suddenly exploded, spewing out colorful smoke that instantly engulfed half the platform.

Goodbye, my superhero friends!

Goodbye, manager!

"Remember to save me a few gashapon capsules!"

The smoke dissipated.

The clown is gone.

Only a palm-sized clown doll remained, sitting on the edge of the tarmac, grinning with its red mouth.

Batman walked over and picked up the doll.

"Aila-uyo!" came the recording from inside the doll's belly.

Batman flicked his arm, and the doll was thrown high into the air.

boom!

The doll exploded into a colorful firework.

"Is Gotham always this exciting?" Zhang Chulan shrank back in fright.

"This isn't over." Hal stared at Li Ang, his chest heaving.

Li Ang shrugged, looking completely nonchalant.

Hal clenched his fist, but Batman quickly blocked his view.

Hal scoffed, "Putting this kind of ability into Gotham is like lighting a powder keg."

You've got one thing wrong.

Li Ang looked at him without the slightest hint of shame.

"Gotham has never been a powder keg; it's always been on the verge of exploding."

"But now, someone can control it so it doesn't explode."

Li Ang's gaze swept over Diana and the other two, his tone growing colder.

"You can hate me, or you can keep watching me."

"But don't blame all of Gotham's problems on a gashapon machine."

Diana looked at the two of them, her brows furrowing slightly.

She could sense that Li Ang was not evil in the traditional sense.

He's more like someone standing outside the chessboard.

He casually placed a piece, and watched the chessboard crumble on its own.

Such people are more dangerous than simple evil.

Zhang Chulan, who was listening nearby, felt a chill run down his spine and silently raised his hand.

"Excuse me, may I interrupt for a moment?"

Everyone looked at him.

Zhang Chulan swallowed hard and cautiously pointed to the contract in Li Ang's hand.

"If your Justice League wants to try him, then so be it."

"But could you let me sign in first?"

"I'm really afraid I won't be able to get home later."

"You really want to work for him?" Hal asked with a strange expression.

"You don't understand." Zhang Chulan said with a pained expression.

"I'm in another world, penniless, and there's a madman next to me eyeing me."

"At that time, a ruthless boss was willing to provide room and board, and even give me a gashapon capsule every month."

He wiped his face.

"This isn't exploitation, it's like giving birth to new parents."

"Good awareness." Li Ang nodded in satisfaction.

Zhang Chulan bit his finger and pressed it directly onto the contract.

The golden text lit up.

The contract scroll hummed and contracted, transforming into a black-gold mark that disappeared into the back of Zhang Chulan's hand.

"It's over." Zhang Chulan shuddered.

"I, Zhang Chulan, signed a 100-year labor contract before even graduating from university." He looked at the back of his hand, on the verge of tears.

Li Ang patted him on the shoulder.

"Welcome to the company."

"The first task."

Zhang Chulan immediately stood up straight.

"Boss, please speak!"

Li Ang pointed to the ruins scattered across the tarmac.

"Cleaning."

"..."

Zhang Chulan's eyes widened.

"I just electrocuted the clown! And you want me to sweep the floor?"

"The employee positions are written down." Li Ang said calmly, "Alright, enough joking around. Come back to the store with me, I'll take you to other worlds to have some fun."

"What bad luck."

Hal finally couldn't hold back and muttered a curse under his breath.

"Batman, don't ever call me to this godforsaken place, Gotham, again."

Diana sheathed her sword, but her gaze never left Li Ang.

"I will continue to investigate you."

"Welcome, but remember to bring money before you begin the investigation."

Li Ang smiled and waved, not forgetting to promote his gashapon toys.

"I'd consider a 9.9% discount for the Justice League group purchase."

The three Batmen exchanged a glance, then turned and left.

Hal took a deep breath, and the ring's light enveloped him and Diana.

Batman fired his grappling hook, his black cape billowing as he disappeared into the shadows of the Venn Tower.

The tarmac finally quieted down.

All that remained were Zhang Chulan, Li Ang, and the charred remains of dolls scattered all over the ground.

"Boss." Zhang Chulan looked at the empty night sky and let out a long breath.

"Um?"

"Why don't you take me home first?"

"Don't be so hasty. You think you can skip work on your first day? There's no such thing as a free lunch."

A smile appeared on Li Ang's face as he snapped his fingers.

hum!

A portal appeared in front of the two of them.

Zhang Chulan looked at the teleportation portal, then at the contract mark on the back of his hand.

He remained silent for a moment, feeling as if he had just escaped Tiger Mountain only to fall into Wolf's Den.

"Grandpa, I think I've been involved in a pyramid scheme."

Zhang Chulan looked up at the Gotham night sky, his eyes devoid of dreams.
