Chapter 868 Bain: My life is getting better and better

In Bane's memory, he was annoyed that he had been losing to Batman recently, and he suddenly had an idea while he was angry.

Bane felt that there was no need to fight Batman to the death in Gotham, so he left Gotham with his family and decided to choose a new place as his base.

Those big cities that everyone knows are definitely not options. After all, as long as he can name a country or city, it is basically guarded by the superheroes of the Justice League.

Moreover, these big cities themselves also have their own local tyrants. In the past, Bane not only had to deal with the superheroes in the open, but also had to be wary of the despicable local gangs that might try to provoke him.

Even Bane didn't want to experience this situation of being attacked from all sides, so after much thought, he changed his target to those small island countries that were not well-known internationally.

These island countries do not receive much attention internationally, and they do not have much contact with the outside world. Even if the Justice League wants to discover that they are causing trouble, it will take some time.

In the end, Bane set his target on Santa Prisca Island, and it turned out that everything was just as he had thought at the beginning.

At first, Bane relied on his wisdom and force to lead the gang to capture the small island country in just three days. After gaining absolute right to speak, Bane took control of Santa Prisca Island.

Of course, he had no interest in the island's government. Bane's plan was just to find a place to build his own venom processing plant.

Bane set up a secret route to secretly transport resources to the island of Santa Prisca. It took him three months to build a processing plant, and he continued to produce venom potions in the following year.

Of course, the version Bain produced was not the one for him to use. That thing was too powerful and most people could not bear it. He did not want to kill all his buyers, so the factory mainly produced the degraded version.

Sure enough, although the effect of the degraded version was weakened, it was also more acceptable to the general public. This new type of steroid was widely praised in the underground world once it was launched.

Even many ordinary people have found channels to buy it. Many of these people are gym goers themselves. They are guys who make a living by having strong muscles. The venom potion is simply a panacea for them.

However, although the venom has been degraded, it is still dangerous, so there are various side effects after injection.

For example, some people may have a decreased IQ, a pointed head, or even die directly.

Of course, as a super criminal, Bane cannot be responsible for the personal safety of his customers and the quality of his products. The only thing he has to guarantee is that most people will not die from the injection of drugs.

After all, if the vast majority of people would die if they were exposed to it, then no one would buy his medicine, and he would not be able to make money. As for the minority, he would not care.

Customers who buy medicines don’t care about the small probability of side effects. There is a chance of plane crashing when flying, but there are still plenty of people who take it.

As for the group of nosy guys in the Justice League, Bane actually has a way to deal with them. Although his pharmaceutical business is conducted secretly underground, his buyers are a mixed bunch.

Many of these were also criminals, and after being injected with the drug, it was clear they wouldn't be able to do their jobs. Superhuman crimes would obviously attract the attention of the Justice League. But Bane wasn't afraid, because he had the official endorsement of Santa Prisca.

Santa Prisca is a small island country with scarce resources. The people here used to have a hard life. Bain's processing plant not only employs local people, but also gives part of the money earned from selling potions to Santa Prisca.

As a result of this operation, the pharmaceutical processing plant became the main source of income for Santa Prisca, providing a better and faster way out for this country that originally could only make money from tourism.

Having tasted the sweetness, the people of Santa Prisca naturally don't want to live the hard life they had before, so it can be said that the whole country is united in endorsing Bain.

The Justice League does not have the right to interfere in the politics of other countries. As a result, they really cannot investigate Bane openly. This is why Batman has only been following up on the investigation but has never really taken any action.

In this way, Bain's pharmaceutical business has been booming in the past year or so. Of course, his purpose is not just to make money. Everything he does now is to prepare for the future.

As a super criminal with aspirations, a man who once unified Gotham, Bane is of course more prepared. Once his funds are raised to a certain level, he will make a big news.

But unfortunately, before Bane could make a big news, the Cobra Cult came to kill him.

Unlike the law-abiding Justice League, the Cobra Cult doesn't care about any international disputes. They sneak into Santa Prisca and launch a blitzkrieg when Bane is relaxed.

All I can say is that the world is a huge boomerang. The tactics that Bane used on Santa Prisca Island before are now used on him exactly the same way.

Under the enemy's siege, even someone as strong as Bane was captured after holding on for a few days. After being imprisoned for a month, Bane, who had been trying to find a way to escape, was suddenly taken out of prison by the Cobra Cult.

King Snake, the leader of the Cobra Cult, made a deal with him. As long as Bane could win a battle, he would release Bane and return the processing plant to Bane. At the same time, the Cobra Cult would withdraw from Santa Prisca Island.

Bane was puzzled as to why the other party would make such a request. He instinctively realized that this was a trap, but he had no choice but to agree to the battle.

Of course, Bane also had a request. He asked the Cobra Cult to return his injection equipment to him. The other party actually agreed and gave him a sufficient dose of perfect venom potion.

This further deepened Bane's doubts. He was almost certain that this was a trap, but he had no choice but to step into it resolutely, otherwise he would not have a chance to turn the tables.
After he stepped into the arena, the opponent only sent out a skinny little kid. Of course, Bane was not careless. After all, there were countless outrageous superhumans in the world. Maybe the opponent had some outrageous abilities?
Then he saw the other party inject a tube of purple potion in front of him, and then the skinny little kid turned into a muscular monster three meters tall.

You can guess what happens next, to put it simply:

The Bain Factory encountered a muscular monster and tried its best but couldn't defeat it.
