Phantom Thief Kidd in the Comic World

"You asked me where Tony is?"

Hearing this, Hammer frowned, unable to keep up with Ivan's thoughts.

He was saying that the appearance of Kidd and Batman had made the expo a mess. Although Tony was the initiator, he hadn't appeared yet. Who knows where he was!

"How do I know where Tony is?"

No outsiders were present when Tony went to the roof of the central exhibition hall, and he did not announce it, so Hammer, who was staying in the exhibition hall, did not know where Tony was.

Although this can be known with a little thought, Hammer obviously didn't want to use his brain at this time.

"Nah, I think I know where he is, but that doesn't matter anymore."

Ivan chuckled, and then changed the subject.

"You just said you wanted to cancel the mechanical army's display?"

"I don't think that's a good choice."

Hammer laughed angrily.

"What is the purpose of me showing the mechanical army? It is to let everyone present see that these drones you built can become a new army, so as to obtain orders from the military!"

"But now no one is willing to look at the stage. If you tell me not to cancel the show now, what should I do?"

"Do you know how difficult it is to get a spot to exhibit at the Stark Expo Center pavilion? I don't want to waste such a good opportunity!"

"Don't get excited, man."

Ivan calmed Hammer down.

"Didn't you say that Kaitou Kidd and that...Batman appeared at the expo?"

"As far as I know, there should be a lot of generals there in the exhibition center of the expo, right? Imagine if they saw your mechanical army and caught the phantom thief in a few seconds..."

Hearing this, Hammer's eyes moved slightly. What Ivan said was not unreasonable.

"Compared with standing on stage to demonstrate, wouldn't it be better to let people see the power of mechanical soldiers directly?"

Although he couldn't see Hammer's expression, Ivan had already guessed Hammer's wavering.

"Even if you say so, you have never agreed to demonstrate those drones in advance, so I don't know anything about the so-called mechanical army you created. Can they really be as useful as you say?"

"Sorry, Ivan, I don't doubt your talent, it's just... I know too little about the performance, firepower, and combat effectiveness of those mechanical soldiers."

Although Hammer was very moved by Ivan's proposal, he also had his own considerations.

Even though Ivan Vanke works in Hammer Industries now, he is definitely not an employee of Hammer.

The two can cooperate, firstly because they have a common enemy, Tony Stark, and secondly, because Ivan has the technology to build the Ark reactor, although Ivan's technology is much inferior to Stark's.

But looking around the world, no one can build the same reactor.

Because this kind of technology cannot be completed by one or two people in a year or two. As early as Howard's lifetime, Stark Industries already had the prototype of the technical principles of the Ark reactor.

Limited by the times and various factors at the time, Howard was never able to complete his idea throughout his life.

It wasn't until decades later that Tony actually built the invention.

Ivan Vanke was able to build the reactor because his father, Anton Vanke, was Howard's partner in the past, and both of them participated in the initial exploration of the Ark reactor.

But compared to Tony, Ivan's resource conditions are much worse.

But from another perspective, he can create an arc reactor out of a pile of scrap metal, which is basically the same as Tony's conditions for building the Mark 1 in Afghanistan. Ivan's scientific research talent is actually not much worse than Tony.

All in all, Hammer needs Ivan’s skills, and Ivan needs Hammer’s resources.

"Are you doubting that my mechanical army cannot even deal with a thief? I have equipped them with the best weapon systems. There is no enemy in the world that they cannot defeat."

Ivan pretended to be dissatisfied and said,

"Don't think too much, Hammer, just release the mechanical army and leave the rest to them."

"Okay, okay, then I will release all these drones. If their performance is not approved by me, you know what will happen to you."

Hammer thought for a while, but finally couldn't refuse the temptation, agreed to Ivan's suggestion, and finally threatened him.

Inside Hammer Industries, Ivan ended the call with a cold look in his eyes.

Ivan walked into a secret room, took out a long and thick safe and opened it.

A pair of thick whip cord-like weapons lay inside...

Stark Expo, above the central pavilion.

New York Police Department helicopters have surrounded Unit 7 and Unit 12.

At this time, Kaitou Kidd's phantom had disappeared, leaving only two wires hanging below Unit 7.

Seeing this scene, anyone with a little bit of brains could guess the secret of walking in the air.

"It turns out that the person driving Unit 7 is an accomplice of Kidd... Then the person on Unit 12 must be an accomplice of Batman, right?"

George realized later that he only now discovered that two of his subordinates had been replaced.

Batman piloted Unit 7 and landed directly on the top of a building on the left.

There is no Kaitou Kidd or his accomplices in Unit 7. Only Batman knows about it.

"Hurry up and follow Unit 7. Unit 12 can't let up in the encirclement. Whether it's Batman or Kaito Kidd, catch them all!"

George immediately ordered all helicopters.

More than a dozen helicopters followed Unit 7 and landed in the direction of the building, while the rest followed Unit 12 closely.

"Mr. Wayne, we are surrounded, what should we do now?"

Alfred wiped the sweat from his forehead.

This was the second time he discovered that the master had also miscalculated.

"Afu, follow my instructions now."

Batman's calm voice came from the communicator, which reassured Alfred a lot.

"You put on the mask now, and you must not let them see your face. Then park the helicopter on the building on the right. Remember to make sure the helicopter stops on the edge of the roof."

"When I tell you to jump, don't hesitate, just jump down there!"

"Okay, Master Wayne."

Alfred trusted Batman unconditionally and immediately sent the helicopter down.

On the other side, Plane No. 7 has also landed at the edge of the building on the left, followed by more than a dozen police helicopters, and dozens of police officers rushed down from the helicopters.

Walking slowly towards Unit 7, a semi-encirclement was formed.

Just hearing a bang, Batman broke through the cockpit door and dived downstairs.

The black bat wings instantly opened and flew towards the building where Alfred landed.
