"The Assassin's League..." Schiller whispered.
He had forgotten about it. Although Talia was not with Bruce, her father, Ra's father, was never quiet. In addition to the funds for the activities of the Assassin's League coming from mercenary missions around the world, there must be a sponsor behind them.
Although the name of the organization is the Assassin's League, in fact, they do more than just assassination, and they are not a mercenary organization that simply works on orders. Lei Xiaogu's ambition can be seen from the motto of the Assassin's League - "Justice can only be created by one's own hands."
For hundreds of years, the Assassin's League has been carrying out terrorist activities around the world. In order to build his ideal world, Lei Xiaogu will never allow anyone to build a new order that everyone admires before him. Brainiac will naturally become a thorn in his side.
Well, whether it was for profit or ideal, he would definitely choose to wade into this muddy water. But he didn't expect that they were mixed up with the Diamond Street consortium. It looked like this was not the first time they had disrupted the market for them.
"I knew that after the explosion, their employers would definitely choose to send them back to defend the city to prevent the same disaster from befalling them. So I focused on Diamond Street, and sure enough, I caught them."
Deathstroke sat down on a chair, looked at the clipping board, swung one leg and said, "These guys are quite capable, they seem to be assassins from the East. Their ninjas come and go without a trace, they are indeed good candidates for placing bombs."
"No wonder they chose to place semi-finished bombs in every subway station and were not worried about us sending a large number of people to guard against them, because they knew that ordinary people could not stop them at all. Fortunately, we did not choose passive defense." Pamela said.
"That's right." Deathstroke nodded and said, "They didn't reveal their abilities too early in order to deceive Brainiac and make him use human wave tactics. But with the participation of ninjas, this tactic completely failed."
"Then we have achieved a phased victory, but the next phase will be even more difficult." Cobblepot came over with a glass of wine and said, "Batman is cooperating with the authorities, and the Assassin's League is watching covetously from behind. We are attacked from all sides."
Schiller shook his head and said, "There is no such thing as being attacked from all sides. After all, they don't know about the existence of the Tomorrow Alliance and think it's just the Joker's one-man show. So next they will definitely focus on the Joker who has committed a big crime, which is a good thing for us."
The door of the mansion was pushed open again, and Harley rushed in and said, "Xiao Pa, the goods have arrived, go to the backyard to move the equipment!"
"It's obvious that you two are the logistics team." Pamela looked at Schiller and said.
"If you're not worried about us dropping some of that expensive equipment on the floor, I'd be happy to help."
"Forget it." Pamela put down the half-eaten sandwich in her hand and went to the backyard of the mansion with Deathstroke to move things.
The equipment Harley ordered arrived. In addition to various weapons, there were also machines for Pamela and Victor to use for research. Harley also bought an additional small server for Brainiac to provide them with local service support.
Schiller went over to take a look, and then he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Where did Jack get the raw materials for his bombs?"
"I bought it for him. After all, a bomb that could blow up his building isn't easy to make, and he doesn't have the money to buy so many good stuff," said Harry.
"I know you paid for it. Who did you buy it from?"
"You know I opened a beverage store, right? In fact, I also have an additive factory and a plastic packaging production plant. I bought it from a chemical plant in Gotham under the names of these two factories."
Schiller fell into thought, and then he vaguely heard Deathstroke say: "I can go and test this woman first. I can feel that she is a powerful person, maybe we can deal with her first."
"Wait." Schiller suddenly said, "Talia may not be our enemy."
Everyone else looked at him. Schiller stroked his chin and said, "Brainiac, you said before that three factories had recently purchased raw materials for bombs. Is the factory where Harley purchased the raw materials among them?"
"Yes. The Haredi Chemical Plant where Harley purchased the raw materials for the bombs used by Jack is one of the three factories that purchased the raw materials for the bombs," Brainiac replied.
"I see." Schiller said, "I knew that Lei Xiaogu would not serve anyone obediently as a lackey. The people on Diamond Street were fooled by him."
Harry also reacted, and he said, "You mean the Assassin's League used the money from the Diamond Street gang to buy the raw materials for the bombs, but they didn't use all of it, and instead resold the rest?"
"That's right. A chemical plant is not a military factory. Why would it need so many raw materials for bombs? It's not normal for three factories to purchase from other places at the same time. At the time we thought that one of them might be cooperating with the person who planted the bomb, but now it seems that it might be all of them."
"The Assassin's League asked the Diamond Street gang for a large budget to set up the bomb, and borrowed three chemical plants to buy a large amount of materials, but only used a small part of it and sold the rest directly."
Harley couldn't help but laugh, and then said, "It seems that robbing the rich and giving to the poor is human instinct, even evil organizations are no exception."
"The Assassin's League is probably going to have a hard time," Schiller speculated. "Even though the ninjas are so strong, the money required to train them is ridiculously high. Even if Talia's father is an immortal, he can't afford such a consumption. They must have other sources of income to make up for the funding gap."
"But the world economy is not doing well right now. It's hard for everyone to support themselves. Who would invest money in a terrorist organization for no reason? So these fat sheep on Diamond Street are particularly valuable. If it were you, wouldn't you let them take advantage of you?"
Harley nodded and said, "That makes perfect sense. But isn't this the case of the people of Diamond Street blowing themselves up at their own expense?"
"That's right." Schiller smiled and said, "More importantly, we can start from this aspect and turn this into a vicious competition between the consortiums to harm each other."
"But how do we get Jack out?" Pamela asked, holding the machine with one hand.
"Who said that Jack was responsible for this crime?" Harley reacted immediately and said, "Indeed, he appeared on the big screen before the explosion, but he didn't say anything. He just made a few gestures. Does holding up a few fingers mean counting down? It can be interpreted in other ways, right?"
"The key to exonerating Jack is to discredit the words of his accusers. Information on the flow of raw materials is the key clue. Brainiac, are you there?"
"Of course. I'm looking for information on the three chemical plants' large-scale transactions outside the city, but the information I've collected is not comprehensive yet."
"It's okay. I think you can take the initiative to check which group these three chemical plants belong to. We can make some moves in this regard."
"You mean..."
"The best lie is to lie to yourself. If the people of Diamond Street think that this terrorist attack is an opportunity for their competitors to make trouble and fish in troubled waters, then they will not be able to work together, let alone trust the Assassin's League."
Harley snapped her fingers and said, "If they knew that the Assassin's League stole the budget, and the factory was attacked at this time, they would definitely think that the Assassin's League killed people to cover up their despicable behavior. Then the two sides would fight each other."
"Indeed. Killing two birds with one stone is nice, but perhaps we can also choose to bring the other party down."
"You mean Congress?"
"The FBI is not to be feared, but with Batman's federal shield, it's not that easy to deal with. If we can drag them into this muddy pit, it will provide Brainiac with more room for development."
"how do you want to do it?"
"Although the people of Diamond Street are rich, they don't have lethal force. Once they fall out with the Assassin's League, they can only hire others to protect themselves. Amanda is eager to increase her influence and will not miss this good opportunity."
Harley smiled widely and said, "We just need to act as a matchmaker and we'll be able to pull them all down. By then, Jack's problem will be a small one."
"I was wondering," Pamela said, tapping her chin with her finger. "Can the group of people Amanda gathered really defeat the elite of the Assassin's League? If they are slaughtered one-sidedly, it will only boost the reputation of the Assassin's League, which will be bad."
"This is indeed a problem. But Amanda is not stupid. If she can't beat her, she will find a way."
"What can I do?"
"Of course we hire someone." Schiller looked at Harley and said with a smile, "By then, our generous Miss Quinzel will surely not mind the members of her great alliance earning two salaries, right?"
"Humph, if you can earn Amanda's funds, that's your own ability!" Harley raised her lips and bared her teeth and said, "Then let Harvey Dent negotiate your remuneration. We must make these bastards bleed heavily!"
"Of course." Schiller nodded and said, "Normal employment is different from emergency assistance. If Amanda is really forced into a corner, she will be willing to pay any amount of money."
"It's not that easy." Cobblepot said, "Not to mention that Task Force X is full of people with super powers, each with their own strengths, more comprehensive than ninjas. The two Batmans who joined alone are a big problem."
"No," Schiller said, "Amanda values power above all else. Although she knows that it would be stronger if Batman led Task Force X directly, she will never allow Batman to take away his command power."
"By that time, no matter how correct Batman's on-the-spot reaction is, Amanda will make the members of Task Force X follow her way in order to consolidate her own power. Let alone complementing each other, it would be good if they don't hold each other back."
"It's such a shame that we can't see all this fun. Isn't that right, Brainiac?" Harley crossed her arms and looked at the server unit next to her that was powered on.
"I'll have cameras placed on the members of Task Force X," Brainiac said, "so you can see the full picture of their battle."
"Really? We won't be discovered?" Pamela raised her eyebrows.
"It's not like you're putting a camera on Batman. Given the vigilance of those members of Task Force X, even if you put a camera lens in their faces, they'll just think it's a good opportunity to show off their heroics."
Pamela thought about how this group of people behaved at the chemical plant and felt that what Harry said made a lot of sense.
