Phantom Thief Kidd in the Comic World
Chapter 30: Being taken advantage of
Because just after the mine owner auctioned off the golden and green cat's eyes, he suddenly passed away in less than a week!
The cause of death was said to be sudden myocardial infarction due to excessive drinking.
As for how the $20 million estate will be disposed of after the mine owner dies, there is no news.
It is only known that the mine owner has a daughter in her twenties, but it seems that due to some unknown factors, she lost her inheritance rights.
The only report fragments contained a very small part of the description, saying that the mine owner's daughter once claimed that her father did not have the habit of drinking, and even basically did not drink much.
However, someone said that "a huge blow from bankruptcy can easily change a person", making the sudden death of the mine owner from drunkenness seem reasonable.
That's right, this person was a lawyer hired by Daggett. It was this lawyer who caused the mine owner's daughter to lose her inheritance rights and was even forced to drop out of school because she lost her financial resources...
Gotham City, East Side.
The most chaotic and dirty area in the entire city is home to more than 90% of Gotham's poor and homeless people.
This is also the birthplace of countless talents in Arkham Asylum.
Deep in the slums, in an extremely dilapidated small house, Pamela huddled in the corner, holding her knees tightly with her hands.
She didn't dare to run outside because she was too beautiful. In the chaotic East District, the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is.
The dilapidated wooden door that creaked when the wind blew gently could not give Pamela any sense of security. She was always afraid that a group of unbearable beasts might break in the next second.
"Bang bang bang!"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, which made Pamela tremble all over.
She shivered and pressed against the door, hoping to block the possible slamming of the door.
"Is that Miss Eisley in there?"
Pamela didn't dare to answer. Although the voice outside the door was gentle and friendly, it didn't mean that she could open the door without any precautions.
Because in addition to the gangsters who may come to the door, Daggett's people may also come here.
She had seen enough of those sanctimonious and ugly faces, so she didn't want to pay attention to the people outside the door.
"I'm not Daggett's man, I'm here to help you."
Outside the door, McGison said softly. After waiting for a long time and still not getting a response from Pamela, he had to give up the idea of letting her open the door.
First he stuffed an envelope into the crack of the door, then stepped back a little distance and said, "Miss Eisley, I feel sympathy for your experience, so I sincerely come here to return the lost property."
"If Daggett knows about this, he will definitely go against you again, so leave Gotham as soon as possible. In addition to your belongings, there is a ticket to New York in the envelope."
Hearing these words, Pamela looked confused, why could she not understand what the man outside said at all.
When he looked down, he saw that there was actually a white envelope sticking out from under the door.
Pamela picked up the envelope suspiciously and opened it, only to see that inside was the golden-green cat's eye that her father had put up for auction!
As the person outside the door said, the envelope contained not only a golden and green cat's eye, but also a direct ferry ticket to New York and a thousand dollars in cash. Although it was not much, it was enough to make Pamela cover her mouth with red eyes.
"Thanks."
At this time, except for these two words, Pamela could not say anything else.
Of course, she already knew who was outside the door. She also knew that Kaitou Kidd had stolen the golden and green cat's eye, causing a huge uproar.
"You're welcome. You can go directly to the dock by walking south from here. You don't have to worry on the way. Those little gangsters can't hurt you."
"Oh, by the way, the clothes you are wearing now are probably too old to wear. I also brought you a new set of clothes, but there is no way for you to take a bath, so I have to make do with it."
McGison put the big bag in his hand on the ground and said: "There is no way to stuff clothes through the crack in the door. I know you won't trust strangers now, so I won't appear in your sight."
Pamela listened quietly. After a while, she heard the footsteps moving away, and soon all sounds outside were lost.
After a while, she cautiously poked her head out. There was indeed a bag of clothes outside the door, and no one could be seen. Even the sounds of fighting that had happened every night in the past had disappeared.
Pamela pursed her lips, decided to believe McGison for once, picked up the bag and returned to the house.
"This... size is just right?"
After changing her clothes, Pamela was surprised to find that the clothes fit her perfectly.
"Kaitou Kidd, what a magical person..."
The ship was setting sail tonight, so without further ado, Pamela just packed up and walked out the door, running towards the dock.
Along the way, I was not harassed in any way.
Pamela was a little worried at first, but she soon felt relieved.
When they were approaching the dock, Pamela suddenly stopped.
She looked hesitant and kept looking around, as if she was trying to find someone.
"Miss Isley, are you looking for me?"
Without any warning, a gentle voice sounded behind Pamela.
This sound has a magical power that can soothe the anxiety in people's hearts.
Pamela turned her head sharply, and the white phantom thief came into view.
Even though she had seen a lot of pictures of the Phantom Thieves, this was the first time she had seen them in person.
At this moment, Pamela was attracted by Kaitou Kid's charm and was actually fascinated by it.
"Ahem, Miss Isley?"
Magison coughed twice and reminded.
"Ah! I'm sorry, I was so rude."
A blush rose on Pamela's face.
"Never mind, Miss Isley, I'm glad you're willing to meet me."
Magison showed a gentle smile, and like a gentleman, he knelt down on one knee and slowly took Pamela's hand.
Then he kissed the back of her hand gently.
"Mr. Kidd?"
Pamela's face turned red and she withdrew her little hand, her heart pounding like a deer.
Hearing this title, McGison was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses.
No one knows the Kaitou's real name, so he can only call him Kidd by his first name.
"You took the risk to steal my father's belongings from Daggett, and also helped me leave Gotham. Thank you very much!"
Pamela said with a serious face, the blush on her face has not dissipated, and with her already pretty and lovely face, she looks extremely cute.
It seems that Pamela thought that Kaitou Kidd stole the gems to seek justice for her.
Magison was ashamed. He didn't know about it when he stole the gem.
However, let this wonderful misunderstanding continue.
"I know that if I continue to stay in Gotham, Daggett will retaliate sooner or later, but what if I go to New York?"
"This gem caused my father's tragedy, so I don't want to keep it anymore..."
Pamela's eyes were full of confusion, which was why she didn't run to the dock in one breath.
"This is easy to handle. There is a man in New York named Tony Stark. You go to him with a gold-green cat eye and explain everything to him. He will buy the gem, and he will not do anything like Daggett. "
"As for Daggett, you don't have to worry too much about him."
McGison showed her a clear path.
Hearing what McGison said, Pamela finally felt relieved.
"Woo~woo~"
At this time, the whistle sounded from the direction of the pier, and the cruise ship set sail!
"That's not right. There are still ten minutes until the sailing time, right?"
Pamela panicked. Who would have thought that the cruise ship would leave early at this time. Normally it would be nice not to be late.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take you up."
Magison showed a reassuring smile to Pamela, took her hand and ran towards the building not far away.
When they reached the top of the building, McGison turned around and asked, "Have you ever experienced the feeling of flying?"
"Huh?" Pamela was confused.
"Remember to hold me tight!"
Magison picked up Pamela by the waist, started sprinting towards the pier, ran to the edge of the roof, and jumped down!
"Ah!" Pamela suddenly screamed in fear, closed her eyes tightly, and hugged McGison's neck tightly with her arms.
"Haha, Miss Eisley, don't be afraid, we won't fall."
Hearing Kidd's teasing, Pamela slowly opened her eyes, and was shocked speechless by the sight in front of her.
He actually flew up in the sky, taking in an unobstructed view of Gotham's night scene. Looking down, the sparse pedestrians looked like ants, and blurry lights flickered everywhere.
"What a nice view……"
Pamela murmured.
"Yes, it's very beautiful. Even Gotham's night sometimes has a beautiful side."
Listening to McGison's words, Pamela turned her gaze to Kaitou Kid's face. What kind of face was under the monocle?
McGison's hands were holding herself, and at this moment she only needed to reach out gently to take off Kidd's glasses.
Pamela was very curious about Kidd's true appearance, but she knew that this was Magison's biggest secret, so she didn't do that, but stared at Magison's face with her eyes in rapt attention.
I just feel that no woman in the world can resist Kidd's charm.
Unknowingly, Pamela's face moved closer and closer to Magison, and finally kissed him on the cheek.
"!"
Magison's eyes widened for a moment. Was he... being taken advantage of?
