Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

Gotham, Iceberg Club, Boss Office.

A short, fat man in a tuxedo sat at the top, listening to the report of his subordinates with a blank expression.

The man had a rather strange appearance, with a round and swollen face, and an unusually sharp nose that was as long as a penguin's mouth.

With such obvious facial features, there is no need to say more about his identity.

Today, the biggest king of Gotham's underground, Penguin Oswald Copperpot.

Below the Penguin, Ogilvy calmly told him about Kidd's notice letter.

"Phantom Thief Kidd?"

After listening to Ogilvy's explanation, Penguin seemed a little uninterested. He didn't seem to care about Kidd the Kaitou, and just shook his head with disdain.

"Recently, the newcomer in Gotham has become less and less ignorant of the rules. He even dared to take action on my things. Does he think he is Catwoman?"

At this time, Ogilvy asked: "Boss, do you need someone to kill him?"

"Hmph, no need, someone will help us."

Penguin sneered twice upon hearing this.

"More than half of the powerful people in Gotham will be gathered at the auction. The GCPD will not let the thief disrupt the order of the venue, and even the bat and his bird will come upon hearing the news."

"Even if I want to do something on this occasion, I have to weigh it, let alone a thief who just debuted?"

"We don't need to take the initiative to deal with him, this ignorant thief will pay for his stupidity."

Ogilvy looked worried, and asked, "Boss, I'm worried that this phantom thief Kidd knows about the counterfeit diamonds, in case he reveals our secret..."

"So, so what?"

The Penguin didn't take it seriously, "Ogilvy, have you forgotten why we forged that diamond? I didn't expect to make money by photographing it from the beginning. What damage have we done? Not to mention there is no evidence that the diamond came from us."

"Don't we just ignore Kaitou Kidd?"

Penguin's indifferent attitude made Ogilvy frowned, "He spread the notice letter to let the whole city of Gotham know that he was going to steal something at the auction, and the target was definitely our diamond. Kaitou Kidd's provocation against the Penguin Gang, if we completely let him go..."

"Did I say to leave him alone?"

The Penguin squinted at Ogilvy and said, "I just don't want to offend GCPD and Batman for a stupid idiot. This is a stupid decision, but it doesn't mean I'm afraid of them!"

"Ogilvy, on the day of the auction, the hotel must be full of GCPD people. We won't get involved in the affairs inside. You arrange a few gunmen to ambush outside, and be careful not to be caught by the police. If the Kaitou Kidd escapes, Then let someone kill him directly, and if the Kaitou Kidd is arrested, then kill him along with the police car that escorted him!"

"Such a simple thing, you don't need me to teach you?"

"Understood! Boss, follow your instructions."

Ogilvy immediately assured Penguin, and then left the office to arrange staff.

However, when Ogilvy turned around, an intriguing light flashed in the depths of his eyes.

And this scene was not seen by the Penguin...

Meanwhile, GCPD headquarters.

"This is Kaitou Kidd's blatant provocation against the Gotham police!"

Gordon gathered all the available officers and gave a furious speech.

He held Kaitou Kidd's teaser letter in his hand and showed it to everyone.

"A thief dares to announce his own crime so brazenly, and even distributes a large number of notice letters to the hands of the citizens!"

"What does he want to do? He wants to invite countless citizens to watch his crime process! It's like ignoring the Gotham police!"

"Phantom Thief Kidd wants to trample on the dignity of GCPD, and I, Jim Gordon, will be the first to refuse! I believe you will not agree either!"

As soon as this sentence came out, a group of young police officers below became excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. They were all new blood who had become police officers in the past ten years.

Most of them embarked on this road because of their admiration for Gordon, which is not the same as those decades-old fritters. At least in comparison, this group of young people has not been polluted physically and mentally.

"After so many years, we have encountered enemies far stronger and more difficult to deal with than Kaitou Kidd, and there has never been a villain who despised the dignity of the police like this!"

Gordon talked about the history of GCPD with a proud expression on his face.

"And those enemies were finally defeated by us, Kaitou Kidd will not be that exception!"

Speaking of this, Gordon changed the subject.

"Therefore, all those who have not received the case for the time being will work overtime from today, and must solve the contents of Kidd's notice letter before the auction starts next Saturday!"

In this way, GCPD began the work of solving puzzles with high spirits.

——

On the outskirts of Gotham City, there is a luxurious manor that occupies a huge area. The center of the manor is a five-story villa with an area of ​​over 3,000 square meters.

Every piece of wood, every piece of decoration... just any item you can see is the world's top rare thing.

Those priceless antiques can be seen everywhere in the villa, and they are even placed in random places.

This manor is the ancestral home of the Wayne family. It has a history of more than a hundred years, but it also hides a deep secret that is far more than a hundred years old.

In the villa, in a luxurious restaurant that can accommodate dozens of people to eat at the same time, there are only a few people at this moment.

One of them is Dick Grayson, and the other is a tall, thin, elegant and easy-going old man.

The old man was wearing a butler uniform, but don't underestimate him just because he is just a butler.

In fact, the old butler named Alfred Pennyworth is the most important figure in Wayne Manor.

"Master Richard, is today's meal not to your taste?"

Alfred stared at Kidd's notice letter in front of his eyes and thought deeply, and asked Dick, who hadn't eaten a bite of food for a long time.

"Huh? No, I like to eat this."

Dick came back to his senses and quickly stuffed a mouthful of food on the plate.

"I don't want you to be like Master Bruce, who often doesn't even bother to eat for the cause of fighting crime. You are growing your body now, and you need supplementary nutrition the most."

Alfred suggested sincerely.

"No, Fu, I'm not like Bruce, I'm just me."

Hearing what Alfred said, Dick felt as if he had been touched, and immediately picked up the plate in front of him and devoured it, even putting Kidd's notice letter aside.

"Master Richard, I am very pleased that you like my cooking, but don't eat so fast, you will choke."

Alfred shook his head helplessly.
