Chapter 357: Heading Towards the Light
"This is everything I've experienced."
In the Watchtower's Conference Room, many Heroes gathered. Even though it was late at night, upon hearing that this Event might be related to the mysterious Illuminati, many still got out of their soft beds.
Yang Le was currently standing in the seat arranged for him by the Justice League. The Justice League doesn't have that kind of traditional hall etiquette of seat assignments based on seniority. Generally, seats are arranged according to the order of joining the League. Yang Le's seat was right behind Shazam, indicating Billy hasn't joined the Justice League for long either.
However, the seat in front of him was empty at this moment. It seemed this Child couldn't get up.
However, what Yang Le didn't know was that the reason Billy hadn't come was because Batman, who knew Billy's True identity, hadn't notified him at all after considering the former's Age. If Yang Le knew, he would only sigh.
Batman! You are so gentle!
After Yang Le revealed everything about Deathstroke and Sportsmaster, the people present fell into Silence for a few seconds before someone spoke.
"Deathstroke and Sportsmaster," Green Arrow leaned back in his Chair, looking melancholic. "Regardless of whether this Business is related to the Illuminati or not, just the two of them joining forces is already not a Small Matter to ignore."
"Agreed," Green Lantern John placed his Hand on the Table. "The two of them are very destructive in a Solo Fight. Now they are not only working together, but there might also be a mysterious Organization behind them. I think all Justice League members should strengthen their surveillance of these two."
"Before discussing this Business," as soon as Batman opened his Opening, everyone else in the Room quieted down, quietly waiting for this Brain's speech.
"Yang Le, why are you so sure that Deathstroke and Sportsmaster are both employed by the Illuminati? In your description just now, there was no Explanation about this Information."
Facing Batman's question, Yang Le didn't panic. Instead, he calmly explained, "This is my speculation. I checked the recent Justice League's mission Information, and there are no records of enemies successfully committing Crime."
"What does that prove?" Green Lantern Hal asked, puzzled.
"This proves that Sportsmaster doesn't have sufficient Funds," Yang Le explained.
"When I fought against the two of them, Deathstroke mentioned that he and Sportsmaster actually have an Employment relationship. This aligns with his code of conduct, 'no profit, no action.' We all know that although Deathstroke is an extremely Dangerous Mercenary, he is very professional. He doesn't do unnecessary things. Conflicts between the Justice League and Deathstroke are mostly because he is employed by someone. He has never proactively planned any Crime."
Hearing Yang Le's analysis, the other members of the Justice League nodded in agreement. Batman remained silent, signaling Yang Le to continue.
"But Sportsmaster is different. He is a standard Dangerous Element. To be honest, if only Sportsmaster had appeared this time, I wouldn't have associated it with the Illuminati."
"Why?" Green Arrow tilted his head.
"Because he doesn't have the Brain," Yang Le said with a smile. "Sportsmaster is much more capable than ordinary Criminals, but Bank Robbery or terrorist attacks are his Limit. Building a Laboratory under Lex Middle School and detaining a Superhuman for Experiment, this is not something he can do. Not only in terms of IQ, but Sportsmaster also doesn't possess this kind of financial resources. So, I speculate that there is a Mastermind behind them."
Batman nodded slightly, agreeing with Yang Le's speculation. In fact, he also didn't think a simple-minded Guy like Sportsmaster could do such a thing. Not to mention, Deathstroke's Appearance Fee alone is not something he could afford. The world's number one Mercenary refers not only to Ability but also to the Fee, which is also world-class.
The reason he questioned wasn't just out of habit, but also because this Event was indeed not to be taken lightly. The mysterious Yang Le and the equally mysterious Illuminati both made him unable to lower his guard.
"Lex Middle School in Blue Valley Town," Batman softly spoke the name of Courtney School. "This is clearly inseparable from Lex Luthor."
Superman on the side was a little helpless. He had always opposed Batman's style of jumping to conclusions, but even though Superman always felt Luthor could become a Good person, he couldn't speak up at this moment. After all, it was Luthor.
"But Luthor's Public Reputation has been too good recently. We have no way to search him without key Evidence," Hawkman spread his Hand helplessly.
"He has donated a lot of Money recently, especially to those poor small countries. Their entire country combined might not have as much Money as Luthor."
Yang Le didn't speak. Among the people present, there were actually quite a few wealthy individuals whose assets were comparable to Luthor's. Not to mention Batman and Green Arrow, even Hawkman who just spoke is actually a hidden rich man.
"Can't that Laboratory be used as Evidence either?" Hal asked.
"I'm afraid not," Flash shook his head. "I looked around the scene. Apart from being able to see that there was a Space under the Gymnasium, there was nothing left there. It's estimated that it was transported away long ago. Plus, the Explosion to destroy the evidence, except for Swen who crawled out from inside, there is nothing of Value."
Batman's Face turned even darker after hearing Flash's Words. If everything underneath had been transported away, it meant that the enemy had likely already achieved their Purpose. As for Animal Plant Mineral Man, it was very likely left behind by the other party intentionally.
'It seems I need to prepare for getting nothing from Swen,' Batman thought silently.

"The Mission has been completed."
The originally arrogant Sportsmaster was now standing obediently in the center of the Room. Around him were several huge Screens, and the images playing inside were all, without exception, faceless half-body portraits.
"Well done," a specially processed Sound rang out, coming from one of the Screens.
"Swen is useless now. Attracting the Justice League's attention is the last thing he can do for the Illuminati."
"But this also exposes Lex," another person said.
"Don't worry about it," Lex Luthor sat in his specially made Room, the Purpose of which was self-evident—to avoid that God of the Mortal Realm.
"Even without the Identity of the Illuminati, the Justice League's suspicion of me has never stopped. Besides, how can we attract the Justice League's attention if we don't let a Big Fish escape?"
Luthor was not flustered at all. He even poured himself a glass of Wine, then slightly raised it towards the Screen and said, "Let the Justice League focus all their Line of Sight on me. This is more conducive to the implementation of our Plan."
"To make Human beings great again, to take back this Earth that belongs to us from the Superhuman, the Illuminati will lead Human beings towards the light."
Although I mentioned it before, but just in case, I will say it again, this Universe is rewritten based on the Young Justice League Universe, it is not entirely written according to the original Plot, but I will try not to break up the original CP.
