Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 159 The Riddler and Baine's Conspiracy

Diosberg District, Knights Dome Stadium.

Harley Quinn, who came to the door for the clown, finally left. The clown escaped from the Arkham Asylum long before Bane arrived, and now no one knows where he went.

But according to the clown's personality, he hasn't caused any trouble after coming out for such a long time, and the villains think that he has probably left Gotham.

But Harley thought that the clown would not leave Gotham for no reason, so she happily returned to the ACE Chemical Plant to gather members of the "Clown Gang" and search for the whereabouts of the clown everywhere in Gotham.

Penguin and Black Mask also left immediately.

The villain alliance that Bane wanted to achieve with all his heart was barely negotiated.

Just waiting for Bane to deliver the promised large number of new weapons made by Wayne to the two people's sites, they will recognize Bane's hegemony in Gotham.

Now, only Bane and Riddler are left in the arena.

"Is the fusion reactor hidden?"

Bane asked suddenly.

"Don't worry, no one in this world can find it unless he solves my riddle, but this is absolutely impossible, because the person who can solve it is no longer in Gotham, hahaha..."

The Riddler let out a few strange laughs.

"However, is this really good?"

After laughing, the Riddler asked Baine.

"what do you mean?"

"You are really so relieved to give me the biggest reliance on controlling Gotham. After hiding, you killed all the insiders."

"Except for me, no one, including yourself, knows the whereabouts of the nuclear bomb."

The Riddler stared at Bane meaningfully.

"You really trust me so much that I won't secretly hand over the nuclear bomb to a few other gang bosses? You must know that they must also want to get this nuclear bomb."

"You did hide the nuclear bomb, didn't you?"

Bane didn't change his expression, he didn't care about the threat hidden in the Riddler's words.

"Yes."

The Riddler answered in the affirmative.

"that's enough."

Bane showed a smile without warning, although under the effect of the breathing mask, others could only see his ferocious facial expression.

But at least the Riddler could feel Bane's joy.

"It's unbelievable that you still feel happy when I say that. Don't you like being threatened by others?"

"Nigma, do you know why I released so many people in the madhouse, but only you?"

The joy on Baine's face disappeared within a few seconds.

"Oh? I'm a little interested in this, probably because I'm smarter than all of them?"

The Riddler has extreme confidence in his IQ.

Although he was often defeated by Batman, he always believed that Batman was not as smart as he was.

He failed only because he left too many clues for Batman.

"Do not."

Bane certainly didn't ask Riddler to cooperate because he felt good about himself.

"Because you are fundamentally different from them."

"Whether it's Copperpot or Seansos, their forces and families are closely connected to this city. The dead shooter's daughter goes to school here, and the scarecrow's research base is all in Gotham."

"What they have in common is that no matter what the reason is, they will never give up the city of Gotham, and they will not leave here easily."

"Only you are different from Death Knell, you don't have an obsession with the city of Gotham, or your obsession with Gotham only exists in one person."

"It's a pity that Deathstroke is unwilling to cooperate with me, but it is enough to have you."

Listening to Bain's narration, the Riddler gradually frowned.

He seemed to understand what Bane wanted to do.

"You are really crazy, maybe the clown will have a lot of common topics with you."

The Riddler's interest was immediately aroused, Bane's idea was so interesting.

"Hmm... The original riddle was too simple to match this level of madness. I have to upgrade it."

"This is not madness, but punishment."

Bane threw out his hands and shouted.

"Nigma, I don't care where you hide the nuclear bomb or who you give it to, I just need to make sure it won't be found by anyone outside of Gotham."

"Because I believe that Copperpot and Seanshos would have protected it if they got the nuke, as long as it's in Gotham, it doesn't matter who has it."

"Hmph, you just need to rest assured, how can I let others interfere in such a fun thing, no one knows where it is except me."

The Riddler smiled mysteriously.

"Just one more thing I want to know, Bane, why do you want to destroy Gotham?"

"In order to cleanse the crime, we once created a plague to sack Rome and razed London to the ground with a fire. Since ancient times, no land covered by crime can escape our sanctions."

"Today it's Gotham's turn."

The Riddler had already seen the fact that Bane would definitely detonate the nuclear bomb, so there was no need for Bane to hide his motives.

Anyway, the Riddler is always under Bane's nose, and he can kill Nygma at any time.

"We are the Shadow Warrior Alliance."

Liberating the prisoners, creating chaos, and guarding the whole city, it seems that Bane wants to make Gotham independent and become a bully himself.

In fact, all of this is just a cover-up, in order to make others believe that as long as Bain follows the rules, he will not detonate the nuclear bomb to destroy Gotham.

Why didn't they destroy Gotham in the first place.

Part of the reason is that Bane wants the citizens of Gotham, the city of sin, to fully enjoy the taste of despair.

Another reason is that he couldn't detonate the nuclear bomb.

That's right, the remote control in Bane's hand is actually useless now.

The fusion reactor developed by Wayne Enterprises did not intend to weaponize it. Even if Dr. Pavel forcibly transformed the reactor into a nuclear bomb, it would take a long time to realize the transformation.

It is conservatively estimated that it will take a month to complete the conversion.

The moment of completion is when the nuclear bomb is automatically detonated.

Although this nuclear bomb also has the function of designing remote-controlled explosions, it needs to be transformed to a certain extent at least before it can take effect.

According to the current speed, it will take about five days to be detonated by remote control, and the power will be smaller than that after a complete reaction, and it is impossible to kill everyone in Gotham.

Therefore, unless it is absolutely necessary, Bane will not detonate the nuclear bomb on his own initiative.

Bane didn't tell anyone about this information, and neither did the Riddler.

"So, Batman used to be one of you, and then he betrayed you, it's funny, it's so funny."

After listening to Bain's story, the Riddler became more and more interested.

"If you don't mind, I should cooperate with you for a long time, until Batman dies..."

Bane and the Riddler came to a final agreement.
