Phantom Thief Kidd in the Comic World

"Mr. Director, I have to remind you that a group of people has been eyeing this museum, so I ask you to let me take care of the treasure..."

In the corridor leading to the director's office at the New York Museum, two people were walking one behind the other.

Walking in front was a thin old man in a suit and leather shoes, who was the curator of this museum.

The curator is smiling on the surface, but if you look closely, you will find that the word impatience is written deep in his eyes.

Following the curator is a young man with a Chinese character face, wearing a blue half-sleeved sweater, tan pants and brown leather shoes. The most important thing is that he is of Chinese descent.

Different from the curator's expression, he was full of anxiety, hoping that the curator would take what he said seriously.

Although he knew very well how absurd his words were.

If you ask someone to give you a treasure, let alone a stone, no one will agree.

So much so that the curator didn't even intend to talk to him all the way here.

As for why he was not kicked out, the main reason is that this young man is a well-known archaeologist. In recent years, many unearthed cultural relics have passed through his hands and then donated to the museum free of charge.

Provided many collections for the museum.

Don't offend the young man too much, this is the curator's inner thought.

But no matter what, even if you dug up these collections, they are now the property of the museum. It is absolutely impossible for you to take them away!

You also made up a lot of lies to deceive yourself, about mysterious mafia and magic items. You are an archaeologist after all, and you don’t know how to find a more reliable excuse.

The curator seemed to have seen through the young man, but he did not reveal it.

As a young man, he was full of enthusiasm at first and only wanted to make a great contribution, so he could donate the cultural relics he found without any consideration for compensation.

It will take a few years to realize that these are all false. Fame and achievements are just taking off your pants and farting. Real benefits are real.

Do you regret it now? Do you know how precious cultural relics are? Do you want to take them back?

It's a pity that if you want to get back something you've lost, the price you pay is not that high.

It is illegal to possess cultural relics without authorization. It doesn't matter whether anyone abides by this law. In the final analysis, it exists. As long as this law exists, I can sue you and bankrupt you at any time, even if I don't want any benefits.

In short, it is natural for me to take advantage of you. If you take advantage of me, you are seeking your own death.

This is the power and nature of capital!

The owner shook his head inwardly. He originally had a good impression of this boy, but he didn't expect that he couldn't resist the temptation of profit after all.

Just... what are the characteristics of the treasure he just described?

Forget it, I didn’t really listen to what he said just now, I just remembered that it seemed very precious...

The curator thought for a moment. He had just collected a priceless pink diamond in his museum, and a young man came over to ask for the treasure. He would never have believed it without contact.

The young man didn't know that his image in the owner's mind had been reduced to that of a bad liar who coveted gems.

He was still warning the curator endlessly about what a terrible organization the Mafia was and that danger would come to the museum at any time.

However, although his observation of people's hearts is relatively slow, he can also see that the curator does not seem to cooperate with him.

"Oh, it seems I can't convince the curator."

The young man thought with disappointment, but since the curator did not explicitly refuse, there was still room for negotiation. ,

It's not his character to give up without working hard until the end.

Finally, the two of them reached the office door.

The curator sighed secretly, why didn't this guy leave? Did he really want the big diamond? Sure enough, money is the most attractive thing.

From the moment he entered the museum gate to look for him, then he toured the museum and visited all the exhibition halls before returning to the office, this man kept lobbying him all the time.

For a moment, he couldn't help but be moved by the young man's perseverance.

It's a pity that, again, there is no need to discuss!

So, after understanding that if he didn't refuse directly, he would be entangled forever, the curator turned around and said to the people behind him with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Chen, I know you are worried about the safety of the treasure, but please don't worry, the museum has adopted advanced protective devices. Neither gangsters nor criminal thieves can steal the Pink Lion Diamond."

The owner of the museum patted Chen Long's chest very confidently.

Seeing how confident the museum owner was, and thinking that as the largest museum in New York, it must have the most detailed security measures, Chen Long no longer was so worried.

As for the possibility of not being able to get something today, it’s not a big deal. If it doesn’t work, just ask Chief Blake to use his authority to get the charm...

etc?

What did the owner just say?

Pink Lion Diamond?

No, I'm obviously talking about a charm!

"No, Mr. Curator, you misunderstood me. What I just said was..."

However, this time the curator did not give Chen Long a chance to continue.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, but I have to work now. If anything happens, please come back another day for consultation."

The curator quickly walked into the office and closed the door heavily.

After Chen Long knocked twice, he found that there was no movement, so he had to leave dejectedly.

What he didn't know was that the curator was feeling complacent about seeing Chen Long off.

"This Chen Long is really stupid. He wants to take treasures from me. Considering that you have given me so many precious cultural relics before, I can't be accommodating."

"But you have to at least give me some benefit. The Pink Lion Diamond is worth at least hundreds of millions, so if you give it to me, seventy or eighty million won't be too much. All the cultural relics you get in the future must be handed over to me."

"It's so beautiful to want something without giving any benefit..."

"There are many buyers who are interested in Pink Lion diamonds..."

After thinking about it, the curator felt a little thirsty and was about to pour a cup of coffee when he glanced out of the corner of his eye.

Suddenly I found a white card appearing out of thin air on my desk...

Walking out of the museum entrance, Chen Long looked thoughtful.

"Walong and the others are bound to get the talisman, and they will find it here soon. I have to send the talisman to District 13 as soon as possible. It seems that I have to do something I shouldn't do tonight..."

Thinking of this, Chen Long's eyes flashed with determination.

"Wait, Mr. Chen, don't leave in a hurry!"

Suddenly, Chen Long heard someone calling him from behind, and the voice seemed to be that of the curator.

Looking back, I saw the curator running out of the museum in a hurry, constantly calling Chen Long's name.

thump!

Perhaps because he was too hasty, the curator accidentally stepped on the air while running down the steps and fell to the ground.

Seeing the curator's panicked look, Chen Long's heart skipped a beat.

Could it be that the mafia has come here and the charm has been taken away by them?

He rushed over and helped the curator up.

"What happened, Mr. Curator, is someone from the mafia coming?"

The curator shook his head.

"No, it's worse than that!"
