Phantom Thief Kidd in the Comic World

"What should I do with this thing?"

In Magison's secret stronghold, he was looking at the snake charm in trance.

Since the philosophy class he took when he returned to school a few days ago, McGison has rarely gone to NYU.

Anyway, he has already completed the credits for this quarter in Gotham, so he can take as many elective courses as he likes.

But one thing has been bothering McGison.

That is the question of the disposal of the snake charm.

Invisibility is a very practical skill, but for McGison it is useless.

Before getting the snake charm, he knew the magic of invisibility. Although he had hardly used it, after all, there was no place where he needed to use invisibility.

As for now, it's even more useless. After stealing the snake charm, I was rewarded with a supreme magic ring, which has all the functions of the snake charm.

McGison really couldn't think of what use he would have for the spell?

It's not like he hasn't thought about returning the charm according to his usual style.

The only question is, to whom?

Due to the exposure of the curator's self-deeds, he will spend the rest of his life in prison, and the museum he manages has officially closed.

Later, Magison tried to investigate who the original owner of the snake charm was, and guess what?

The reason why the snake charm appeared in the museum was because an unknown child picked it up at the beach, and when he was playing with it on the street, it happened to be seen by a passing curator.

Although the talisman looks like an ordinary stone, the feeling of age is absolutely genuine, and it can barely be regarded as a cultural relic.

So the curator exchanged ten dollars for the charm from the child.

One thing to say, this story is quite ridiculous.

In the past few days, McGison has traveled to many places to investigate, and after exhausting all his efforts, he finally figured out the "origin" of the snake charm.

Then McGison became even more confused.

The snake charm was useless to him, but to others it was a supreme treasure.

McGison has seen the Black Hand Gang and the Shadow Corps, and even killed more than thirty federal detectives in order to seize the talisman!

If you really return the snake charm to that child, you will only harm the other person.

And the most important thing is that the curator deceived the snake charm into something that happened three years ago, and no one knows who the child is!

It's impossible for McGison to sneak into the prison and ask the curator about this, right?

Besides, he didn't think the curator would go out of his way to ask the identity of that silly kid.

To Chen Long Xiaoyu?

Even without communication, McGison discovered through some observations that Chen Long and his gang and the Black Hand gang were collecting talismans, and the Black Hand was obviously a villain.

In the end, all the spells will naturally fall into Chen Long's hands.

So here’s the problem, McGison doesn’t even know where Chen Long lives!

He only knows that Chen Long is an archaeologist and travels around the world all day long. Who knows where he is now.

Unless McGison sneaks into the New York Police Department to find information about Chen Long...

"No, no, how can I do something illegal?"

Magison shook his head. He didn't want to go to all the trouble for this broken stone.

"Forget it, let's wait until we have the opportunity to see them later. As for you..."

Magison put the snake charm in his hand, "I can't use it, but maybe it can be used by others..."

Meanwhile, Stark Tower.

"Tony, have you really decided?"

Pepper asked the playboy in front of him with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Of course, such a big incident happened before, but because of Bain's threat, I had to deal with the media every day. I couldn't get involved from the beginning to the end, and even let that guy take all the limelight in the end."

Tony said pretending to be unhappy.

"The closure of the weapons department caused the company's stock price to drop by more than ten percentage points. If I don't come up with something actually good, I'm afraid we will go bankrupt in a few days."

"Ha, you actually know that your actions caused the company's losses. This makes me look at you with admiration."

Pepper complained.

"You've already done whatever you wanted to do before. No matter what I say, you won't listen. Is my opinion really useful to you?"

"So I have to make up for the losses, right? One more thing I need to remind you is that you are now the CEO of Stark Industries."

Tony said it very lightly, but in fact, Stark Industries' losses in the past six months are not generally significant.

The financial losses were just a drop in the bucket. What really hit Stark Industries hard was people's gradual loss of confidence.

At first, the situation could be maintained with the super popularity of Iron Man, but the emergence of Whiplash let the world see that the Iron Suit was not exclusive to Tony.

In addition, when Tony was most frustrated, he donated the Mark 2 to the military free of charge, which is today's war machine.

People gradually began to discover that Iron Man was not actually that unique.

Although many people don't realize it, the one person who is truly unique is Tony Stark.

The reality is that smart people are always in the minority, so it is only Stark Industries that suffers in the end.

"Are you really sure? If it fails...I mean in case, cutting off the power supply to the building will cause huge losses."

No matter how relaxed and confident Tony appears, and he believes in Tony's skills, Pepper still can't help but worry.

"Don't worry, Ms. Potts, I've asked Jarvis to calculate it countless times. You have to believe in Tony Stark's technology. There is no need to doubt the safety of sustainable clean energy."

"After my calculations, even the trial model used this time is enough to meet the electricity needs of Stark Tower for one year, and the cost is only the original one month's electricity bill."

Tony presented a big picture.

"Stark Industries will create a new energy era, and the biggest contributor is current CEO Pepper Potts!"

“Oh my gosh, you’re going to be called the greatest entrepreneur of the 21st century!”

Tony exclaimed dramatically.

Pepper successfully made Tony laugh, "Then you must be the greatest inventor of the 21st century."

"I already am."

Tony said seriously.

"Well, you managed to convince me, Tony, to do what you want."

After getting Pepper's consent, Tony called Jarvis.

"Yes, sir."

I saw a brand new steel suit rising from the floor.

Mark 8!

In the original plot, Tony should have just developed the Mark VII at this time.

However, due to the intervention of Kidd, Tony discovered the new elements much earlier. Later, he was inspired by the Bat suit, which caused the update of Mark's suit to skip one generation.
