Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 24 Bruce Wants to Come Back

"The practicality of this reward is much worse than last time."

Maggison was a little disappointed. The marksmanship in the wanted warrant was actually quite similar to that of the phantom thief.

Playing poker is no worse than the skill of those bullets turning, and the appreciation is countless times stronger.

The only thing that works is bullet time.

The time deceleration that acts on oneself, although limited, is still a very useful skill.

This works just fine as a replacement until Maggison successfully learns Time Stop magic.

The last improvement, which is not big or small, is that his fighting skills have also made great progress.

Mutual aid club's assassin training is not just about playing with guns, close combat is also very important.

And it's not the kind of flamboyant fists and embroidered legs, but the killing technique of tricks and tricks.

After hiding the golden-green cat's eye, Maggison left the stronghold and returned to his real home.

Of course, changing clothes and detours are indispensable along the way.

At the same time, in Wayne Manor.

Bruce sat on the sofa in silence, his eyes kept changing, as if he was entangled in something important.

"Master Wayne, the live news is over, and Kaitou Kidd has won."

Alfred reminded.

"I know, Fu."

Bruce said in a tone of kidney deficiency.

"Did I become stupid, the notice letter said the invitation of waves, I really thought it was waves."

"Ignored the fact that the Gotham Broadcasting Company happened to be in Xiacheng Island, Kaitou Kidd won me."

"I used to never make such low-level mistakes."

"With all due respect, Master Wayne, the Kidd who first appeared in the sky was just a dummy. Even if we guessed the correct forecast, we would not be able to catch him."

Alfred was very serious, and he didn't want Bruce to question himself again because of this little thing.

But at the same time, there is a tinge of joy in his heart, because Bruce may finally be returning to live in the sun.

But more likely is a return to life in the dark.

"No, Ah Fu, you didn't see the crux of the problem."

Bruce shook his head. He stood up with his crutches on his back. After a long period of inactivity and all kinds of hidden injuries from before, he almost lost feeling in his right leg.

I don't know the specific reason, because he didn't want to go to the hospital for examination.

"The Kaito Kidd is very different from what we imagined, he is not a simple thief."

There was a hint of worry in Bruce's words.

"Gordon is no match for him, I think..."

"You think it's time for 'him' to come back?"

Alfred interrupted.

"I'm sorry, Master Wayne, but I don't think it's a good choice."

"Gotham needs you, but it needs your resources, connections, and wisdom, not your life!"

"What Gotham really needs is Bruce Wayne, not Batman!"

Alfred was very excited, he was now gray-haired, and even though he was just a housekeeper, Bruce was raised by him.

In Bruce's heart, Alfred is almost equal to his father's status.

In the same way, Alfred, who has no wife and no children, has long regarded Bruce as the person he cares about most.

"Rachel said that when Gotham no longer needs Batman, she will come back to me, but she died..."

"Ah Fu, you know what Rachel means to me. For eight years, Gotham has no need for Batman, but I have also lost the meaning of life."

"You can't stay in Gotham forever!"

Alfred suddenly became strict, which reminded Bruce of the time when Alfred taught himself after his parents died, and Alfred was so strict at that time.

"Look at this world, and you will find countless beautiful things. Do you remember before everything happened? Before Batman was born."

"You left Gotham and disappeared for seven full years. I never want you to return to Gotham, because your memory of this place is only painful."

"Stop it, Ah Fu!"

Bruce yelled suddenly, and he regretted it when he was done, but he didn't say anything.

"Help me make an appointment at a hospital. Go check my leg tomorrow and see if it can be cured."

After leaving these words, Bruce returned to the bedroom with a cane.

"Which hospital do you want to go to?"

Alfred asked, looking at Bruce's back.

"Of course it's the one I used to go to frequently!"
-
Black Gate Prison, a huge prison standing on Hermon Island, has two diametrically opposed titles of the most difficult prison to break through and the easiest prison to break through.

In Gotham City, second only to the forbidden place of Arkham Asylum.

Today, a new visitor entered here.

"Serena Kyle, nicknamed: Catwoman, has committed multiple jewel thefts and has been arrested more than ten times but has successfully escaped from prison each time. The first time she escaped was when she was 16 years old. A notorious thief."

"Jim, you gave me a big problem today."

The person in charge of the Black Gate Prison frowned.

Gordon, who personally escorted Catwoman, replied: "But she never came to the Black Gate, did she?"

"You know, if you put her in an ordinary prison, she will slip away in a few days. I can only feel relieved if I stay here with you."

"But Blackgate never housed women prisoners."

Gordon calmed down and said: "The Dent Act stipulates that under special circumstances, male and female prisoners are allowed to live together."

"Okay, okay, isn't it just a kitten, and it's not those weird guys back then. Black Gate Prison will not let a prisoner go."

"I suggest a single room for her."

"Oh, I understand. After all, all the vicious men are in charge here."

"No," Gordon shook his head, "because she'll maim the other prisoners."

After leaving Blackgate Prison, Gordon did not go home directly, but drove to GCPD, not because he likes to work overtime, but because the policeman on duty of GCPD called him not long ago, saying that Barbara was in the police station .

If it wasn't for the escort of Catwoman, he would have rushed back to GCPD a long time ago.

"father!"

As soon as they returned to the police station, Barbara ran over and hugged Gordon, and the father and daughter looked at each other silently.

Seeing that Barbara was safe and sound, Gordon finally felt relieved. He now knew that the previous Barbara was pretended by Kaito Kidd. If Kidd dared to hurt his daughter, Gordon would shoot him at all costs. that jerk.

Fortunately, Kidd did not hurt Barbara.

The next day, all the major media in Gotham acted like they were crazy, and all pointed their finger at Kaitou Kidd.

Two consecutive high-profile crimes have successfully stolen high-value gemstones, and the outfit is even more eye-catching, occupying the front page of all news.

"Ah sneeze!"

Gotham University, in a certain classroom, Maggison sneezed, causing Barbara at the same table to roll her eyes.
