Chapter 1249 Bigfoot Ninja's Night Raid on the Assassin Alliance (2)

This was the first time Damian had entered the Assassin's Guild headquarters in this state.

“Lord Schreid, according to your will, all the assassins have been brought together in one place.”

The elite ninja reported, "We confiscated all their items, including the hidden items you mentioned."

"That's good. Try not to harm them." Damian nodded. "Because if possible, these people will become my help in the future."

Damian was naturally not going to give up on the Assassin's Guild, since if things went according to plan, he would definitely become the leader of the Assassin's Guild in the future.

However, now that Damian has gained some strength, he is no longer willing to follow the established path. After all, people's ambitions can swell, and Damian is no exception.

When an ordinary child sees a jar full of candy, would he still care about the single candy in his hand?

Damian has started to hate his life being planned out in advance, otherwise he wouldn't have planned this rebellion.

“Next, we’ll be heading to the core area of ​​the Assassin’s Guild,” Damian instructed. “Remember to be quick; don’t give Lei Xiaogu any time to react.”

The Demon Lord Lei Xiaogu is a figure whose legends are found all over the world, but only those who have truly come into contact with him know just how terrifying he really is.

Damian did not doubt that his grandfather had some backup plan that even he did not know about, but he believed that as long as he was fast enough, he could definitely take down the enemy with a blitzkrieg.

History has proven that blitzkrieg, to some extent, is the best tactic for achieving great results with minimal investment.

...

Lei Xiaogu, who was being painstakingly plotted against by Damian, was currently handling his own affairs calmly. Not only the Illuminati, but also his own League of Assassins had a lot of things piling up.

Honestly, anyone else like Lei Xiaogu would have been exhausted after living for so many years. It was thanks to Lhasa Road Pool that he avoided the fate of those autocratic emperors.

Lei Xiaogu nodded slightly, because he had been reprimanded at the last summit because an important Illuminati stronghold under his control had been destroyed.

A base itself is not that important; for example, the Cadmus Research Institute was just bait they threw out.

But the Tibetan outpost was different; it was an important one for them, and Cadmus and his men had already moved all the important data away before abandoning it.

It appears that the Justice League acquired Superboy and a group of mutant clones, but in reality, Superboy is a spy planted by their Illuminati, and the mutant clones are just a bunch of insignificant experimental subjects.

Judging from their appearance, they were all products of failed experiments. However, the Cadmus Institute was indeed short-staffed at the time, so not many adjustments were made; the goal was simply to prevent genetic collapse.

"The Tibet base is one of the repositories of all our clone data. Although there are other backup bases, the Justice League now knows whose genes we have stored."

Lei Xiaogu rubbed his temples. Even he had to admit that this loss was a headache. It would be much harder for them to carry out any more cloning operations in the future, because the Justice League was already prepared.

This disrupted the Illuminati's plans and marked the first time the Justice League truly gained the upper hand in their confrontation with them.

The Illuminati doesn't forbid failure, but if it causes significant losses to the organization, harms its core interests, or involves violence against other Illuminati members, expulsion will be considered. The first point is negotiable, but the latter two are not; once either is violated, expulsion will be immediate, without any need for discussion.

Lei Xiaogu has now stepped on his first landmine, with one foot in the grave. Fortunately, he is involved in many of the Illuminati's plans; otherwise, given Sevich's cold-blooded nature, he would probably have been expelled like Arthur's brother.

"Hmph!" Lei Xiaogu sneered. The Illuminati claimed to be a mutually beneficial organization, but in reality, a few people still took the lion's share.

Vandal Savage, Lex Luthor, and the Witch Child—these three are the ones who can truly dominate the Illuminati.

The first two need no further explanation; they are people who can influence the human economic system. The latter is simply too powerful.

"Forget it." Lei Xiaogu sighed. "For my own benefit, I have to eat even if the food is unpalatable."

After tossing the documents aside, Lei Xiaogu decided to go outside for some evening breeze to clear his head.

Lei Xiaogu got up, and as soon as he pulled himself away from the various documents, he noticed something was wrong.

Is it a little too quiet tonight?
Lei Xiaogu frowned slightly and quietly pressed a button under his desk. This button was capable of summoning a force that would obey only his orders.

This unit was also a member of the League of Assassins, but they were singled out and considered an elite force, which he called the Shadow League.

In the past, if he pressed this button, the captain of the Shadow Force would immediately contact him, but this time, two or three seconds passed and no one responded.

This can only mean one thing: the Assassin's Guild has been infiltrated, and it has certainly been thoroughly penetrated to the core.

Who is it? Is there really someone in this world who could take down the entire Assassin's Guild without him even noticing?
This person couldn't be one of those superhumans; they're all just a bunch of roughnecks who wouldn't do this kind of secret infiltration that's both artistic and technical. The only person who would do this is an ordinary person.

Who could it be? Batman? Green Arrow? Mr. Excellence?
They may all be chosen ones, but Lei Xiaogu himself is also a genius, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to rule the Assassin Alliance for so long.

A person who can do this needs more than just talent; they also need a deep understanding of him and the Assassin Brotherhood.

In this way, the name Batman slowly came to the fore, and in Lei Xiaogu's opinion, only he could do this.

But would Batman really do that? It doesn't fit Lei Xiaogu's impression of him.

In any case, Lei Xiaogu hadn't felt this way in a long time—this feeling of isolation and helplessness that made his blood boil.

Lei Xiaogu's lips curled up slightly; now it was his turn to be the prey.

Thinking this, Lei Xiaogu took off his cloak, walked to the wall of the quiet room, opened the hidden door, and revealed a complete set of assassin equipment.

After putting on the full set of equipment, Lei Xiaogu drew his ninja sword with a whoosh and saw his excited eyes through the smooth blade.
