Chapter 1

As usual, it was raining on this dark night in Gotham. Though, this did not stop the wealthy in the city to throw parties on this Saturday night.

Buildings were bustling with business owners and their guests. They were smiling and always lived without a care in the world as long as they remained here in the good part of the city.

However, just down the road were the rest of the citizens. There were so many homeless people in Gotham, that it was hard for them to find some shelter for the night.

Gotham was a city that was split into two different sections. One of them was dedicated to the wealthy and those who served by their sides. The other section was the rest of the city. These were single parents, struggling adults, and a large homeless population.

Several miles away, in a run down warehouse that was close to a lumber yard, were a large group of people. Many were dressed like construction workers while others were dressed in sharp but flexible suits.

"What is taking you so long?" someone called out to the two dozen workers who looked to be taking their time in this moment.

"Why are you yelling at us as if the bat and his new little family will appear?" one of the workers called back out. Although, Batman and the rest of the heroes under him were a constant threat to those who lived in the world of the black market, it was still rare for them to appear everywhere around Gotham.

Bang!

Suddenly, the worker who called out was shot and not even a breath of time later collapsed on the floor while those next to him became extremely startled.

Walking in the doorway, a man dressed in a white tuxedo appeared. He had a deep scar on his cheek and looked furious.

"Let this be a warning to you all here. If any of you decide that they want to back talk to me, I will blow your brains out without any mercy!"

"Hey you grunts, put your back into it if you know what is good for you!" the man with a large body build shouted to the workers before turning to the person who seemed to be their leader.

"Do not worry sir, I will make sure that you will not have to personally deal with any of these workers. Just leave this all to me and go get some rest." he told his boss as he called out for several people to escort him back to his room in the warehouse.

After witnessing one of their friends being killed in cold blood, the workers who were startled, quickly recomposed themselves as they continued working.

This job of theirs was going to make everyone enough money to feed their families for several months at the very least. Therefore, even if they needed to deal with such a strict leader, they would continue working diligently.

"Remember everyone, the boss says that if this operation goes smoothly enough, he will continue using this same crew." the man with a large body build called out again to the workers.

"I am not scared of this so called bat and his family. But, I do not want to deal with anything more than usual tonight. You have one hour to finish packing the truck and there will be no excuses!" the man told the workers as he ordered one of his assistants to find him a chair to sit in.

Within the distance, using the shadows to hide themselves, four figures started to make their way closer to the warehouse using stealth tactics.

These four figures were of course Batman and his family!
