Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 246 Prelude to the Battle of New York

"How to deal with this thing?"

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

Since the philosophy class he took after returning to school a few days ago, McKesson rarely went to NYU.

Anyway, he has almost completed the credits for this quarter as early as in Gotham, so he can do whatever he likes with a few insignificant electives.

But there was one thing that kept bothering Maggison.

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

Invisibility is a very useful skill, but it is useless to Magison.

Before getting the Snake Charm, he knew the magic of invisibility himself, although he has hardly used it, after all, there is not much need to use invisibility.

As for now, it's even more tasteless. Stealing the snake charm rewards a Supreme Lord of the Rings, and all the functions of the snake charm are exhausted.

Maggison really couldn't figure out what was the use of the spell?

It's not that he didn't think about returning the spell according to his usual style.

The only question is, to whom should it be returned?
Due to the exposure of the curator's self-stealing deeds, he will spend the rest of his life in prison, and the museum he manages has officially closed down.

Later McKesson tried to find out who the original owner of the snake charm was, and guess what?

The reason why the snake charm appeared in the museum was that an unknown child picked it up at the beach, and when it was brought to the street to play with, it happened to be seen by the passing curator.

Although the charm is just an ordinary stone on the outside, the sense of age is absolutely true, and it can barely be regarded as a cultural relic.

So the curator bought the charm from the kid for ten dollars.

One thing to say, this story is enough.

Over the past few days, Maggison has gone to many places to investigate, and after exhausting all his efforts, he finally figured out the "origin" of the snake spell.

Then McKesson got even more tangled up.

The snake charm is a tasteless thing to him, but it is a supreme treasure to others.

I have seen the Mafia and the Shadow Corps Maggison before, and even killed more than 30 federal criminal policemen in order to seize the spell!
If you really return the snake spell to that child, it will only harm the other party.

And most importantly, it happened three years ago that the curator tricked the snake charm into him, and no one knew who that child was called!

It's impossible for Magison to sneak into the prison and ask the curator for this, right?
Besides, he didn't think the curator would go out of his way to ask about the identity of that silly boy.

To Chen Long Xiaoyu?

Even without communication, Maggison discovered through some observations that Chen Long and his gang and the Mafia were collecting spells, and the Mafia was obviously a villain.

In the end, all the spells would of course fall into Chen Long's hands.

So here comes the problem, Maggison doesn't even know where Chen Long lives!

All he knew was that Chen Long was an archaeologist, and he traveled all over the world all day long, and who knows where he is now.

Unless Maggison sneaks into the NYPD to find Chen Long's information...

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

Maggison shook his head, he didn't want to go to such trouble for this broken rock.

"Forget it, let's talk about it later when we have a chance to meet them. As for you..."

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

Meanwhile, the Stark Building.

"Tony, have you really decided?"

Little Pepper looked pensive, and asked the playboy in front of him.

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

Tony pretended to be unhappy.

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

"Ha, you still know that your actions have caused the company's losses, which makes me start to admire you."

Little Pepper complained.

"You have already done what 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 loss, don't I, and I need to remind you that now you are the CEO of Stark Industries."

Tony said it was easy, but in fact, the losses of Stark Industries in the past six months are not generally significant.

The loss of funds is just a drop in the bucket. What really hit Stark Industries hard is that people gradually lost confidence.

In the beginning, he could maintain the situation with Iron Man's high popularity, but the appearance of the whip let the whole world see that the iron suit is not exclusive to Tony.

In addition, Tony donated the Mark II, which is now the war machine, to the military for free when he was most disheartened.

People gradually began to discover that Iron Man is not so unique.

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

This is the reality, smart people are always a minority, so Stark Industries is the only one who suffers in the end.

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

No matter how relaxed and confident Tony is, and he believes in Tony's skills, Pepper is still worried.

"Don't worry, Ms. Potts, I have asked Jarvis to calculate countless times. You have to trust 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 provide Stark Tower's electricity demand for a year, and the cost is only the original one month's electricity bill."

Tony lays out a grandiose picture.

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

"Oh my God, you're going to be called the greatest entrepreneur of the 21st century!"

exclaimed Tony exaggeratedly.

Pepper was successfully amused by Tony, "Then you must be the greatest inventor of the 21st century."

"I already am."

Tony said seriously.

"Well, you've convinced me, Tony, to do what you want."

After getting Pepper's consent, Tony called Jarvis.

"Yes, sir."

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

Mark Eight!

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

However, due to the intervention of Kaitou Kidd, Tony discovered the new elements much earlier, and later received some enlightenment from the Bat Armor, which caused the update of Mark's suit to skip a generation.
