Phantom Thief Kidd in the Comic World
Chapter 12 Bruce shows interest
"Maev, he is the rumored Phantom Thief Kidd who played Gordon like a child, and now he wants to take action against me, Adam Star?"
In a luxurious room, a short and fat middle-aged man wearing a suit and a black top hat sat on the sofa, holding an umbrella in his hand. Like Kaitou Kidd, he also wore a monocle, but without That magical backlighting.
There are only three people in this room, because Penguin is confident that no one will be able to break through here. Maybe there was one eight years ago, but it is absolutely impossible now.
Even if it happened, it would be more important to run away quickly at that time, no matter how many bodyguards there were, they couldn't protect him.
As for Maiev's real position, she was actually the Penguin's secretary. McGithon was really surprised when he knew this.
"The famous Penguin, I should say I feel honored to be able to meet you."
Magison's face still has the same smile that has never changed.
"I don't like people calling me that."
Penguin's face turned cold.
"Then...with all due respect, Mr. Cobblepot."
Magison shrugged, ignoring the Penguin's warning.
"Maev, I was asking you just now, why are you still standing there?"
Penguin turned his attention to the last person in the room.
"Boss, he did bring the Adam Star."
Maiev walked up to Penguin and told him everything that had just happened. Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Penguin's face instantly darkened.
"Maev!"
This was a low roar full of anger, and Maiev, who knew her boss's temperament well, was trembling with fear.
"How many times have I said that we are businessmen and we will never destroy our own signs on our own property!"
"No businessman would refuse his customers!"
The umbrella in the Penguin's hand hit the floor hard, making a heavy "dong-dong" sound.
"Robbing the goods that customers want to trade? You can't imagine that. Do you know that your actions will damage the reputation of Bingshan? The largest black market in Gotham that I finally built may be destroyed in one day!"
"Maev, you have been with me for two years, so you should know what kind of punishment will follow."
Hearing this, Maiev's face turned pale and her eyes were filled with fear.
Magison looked on. Maiev would probably end up miserable, but he would not speak up for someone who wanted to shoot him.
However, what he didn't expect was that Penguin actually valued his "reputation". Come to think of it, even heroin sellers would attach great importance to the purity of their goods. They were all "good businessmen" who demanded high quality. Compared with a certain What a travesty these businesses are operating legally.
McGison thought Penguin would fall out at first, but a mere Adam's Star was not enough to make Cobot desperate. There were many goods traded here that were worth far more than this gem. If he really wanted to fall out, it wouldn't be his turn. he.
Of course, this was under the condition that he was not weak. If he had been shot to death just now, Penguin would probably just casually tell him to clean up.
Thinking of this, Magison sat down across from the Penguin generously and placed the Adam's Star on the table in the middle.
"Ah, Kaitou Kidd, I'm sorry for what happened just now, and I'm also grateful that you came here to trade... So, what do you want to exchange for Adam's Star, money? Gold? Or anything else? "
The Penguin immediately regained his appearance as a businessman, with a bright smile on his face, even though he looked much uglier in this appearance.
"I am in urgent need of some money now. The amount does not matter. I believe Mr. Cobot will not bid randomly."
Although the market valuation of Adam's Star is as high as 170 million U.S. dollars, black market transactions cannot be based on normal prices. Generally speaking, it will shrink by 20 to 30 percent. If it is auctioned, it may fetch a sky-high price. However, the starting price will definitely be much lower than the normal price, and different locations will have different bids.
McGison didn't know the rules here, so he could only let the Penguin bid on his own. It didn't matter to him how much or how little. After all, his parents left a lot of inheritance, but he wanted to build an exclusive stronghold for Kaitou Kidd. If he used his own The family property is easily traceable, so these unrecorded funds must be used.
"Then based on the market valuation, 170 million is a lot. Quan should apologize for Maiev's previous rudeness."
Penguin lit a cigar and took a puff.
"Oh? Then you lost a lot of money out of thin air, Mr. Cobot?"
McGison didn't believe that such a good thing would happen.
"Don't think too much, I won't do loss-making business." How could Penguin, a veteran of the world, not see Kaitou Kidd's suspicions? "There happened to be someone in New York who wanted this gem at a high price. You guessed it? How much? Two hundred million dollars!”
"With a little work, the price can be raised even higher. If it weren't for this buyer, to be honest, I wouldn't be interested in gems at all."
"However, if you want to know who this buyer is, I can't tell you."
Regardless of whether what the Penguin said was true or false, McGison could not confirm it and could only choose to believe it.
After negotiating the price, the transaction will be carried out directly, and the US$170 million will be transferred to the virtual account opened by Magison in advance, so that even if the transaction record is found, no one will know who the transaction is.
After everything was done, Maggieson got up and left. He disguised himself as a middle-aged man in front of Penguin and walked directly to the auction house outside.
Penguin understood that this meant that he could change his appearance at will, and it would be impossible to find him as long as he was in the crowd.
"Kaito Kidd... What an interesting guy. It seems that Gotham will be lively again in the future, hehehe~"
Looking at Maggieson's back, Penguin laughed meaningfully.
At the same time, in the Bat Cave under Wayne Manor.
"Master Wayne, I have good news for you."
Alfred came to Bruce with a newspaper.
Bruce went to the Bat Cave almost every day this week and used his Bat-branded supercomputer to search for traces of Kaito Kidd.
Bruce checked the surveillance records of all areas around the Gotham Exhibition Hall within a month, but found nothing.
Kaito Kidd was like a ghost that appeared out of thin air, and there was no clue to reveal his whereabouts.
He couldn't even find any suspicious people who might be Kaito Kidd.
This aroused Bruce's curiosity. He hadn't been so interested in something for a long time.
Especially the newspaper that Alfred had just handed over, which made Bruce's interest even stronger.
Because the headline of this newspaper read "The second notice of Kaito Kidd has appeared. Is this notice that looks like a code really from Kidd's hand?"
"The fickle brother is heading towards the final end.
At this time, the second of the twelve trials has been carried out.
When Selene can no longer see Helios from a distance,
I will obey the call of the waves and come to take away the cat's eyes.
Kaito Kidd!"
Looking at this confusing notice, Bruce actually showed a competitive smile!
Alfred, who saw this scene, showed a relieved smile...
