Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

Lucas looked at Mindy deeply and said, "Okay."

"Lucas?!" Gwen and Peter both looked at Lucas in surprise, not quite understanding why he would make such a decision.

Mindy's eyes widened for a moment, and then she smiled happily, "Although you are an elusive guy, you are still easy to talk to."

"However, I have conditions." Lucas said, "I hope you can obey my command unconditionally."

"Huh?" Mindy looked at him suspiciously, "Although, do you know Hell's Kitchen?"

Lucas shook his head, "You misunderstood me. I don't want to interfere with your style of doing things. I just hope you can listen to me in the general direction."

"In the general direction?"

"For example..." Lucas glanced at the corpse at his feet, "Some people may have very important information on them, so please try to keep their lives alive."

Lucas' expression was quite calm, and he was unfazed when facing the corpses on the ground.

Mindy raised her eyebrows and said with some surprise: "You are a little different from the two of them."

Peter and Gwen were indeed kind, but for her, a native of Hell's Kitchen, it was like a ray of sunshine that was too bright, shining out the filth in her body.

The girls outside are radiant and live in the light, while girls like her are dark and live with sin.

Therefore, Mindy would feel uncomfortable getting along with them, but Lucas was different. She found a trace of the same kind in him.

Mindy's words were a little unclear, but Lucas understood her meaning instantly.

"Really." Lucas said lightly, "As long as you are willing, there is actually no difference between us."

Mindy shrugged, "Forget it, I'm not interested in being a good girl."

She listened carefully to the voice in her earphones. After a few seconds, she took out her phone and shook it. "Add a friend. Remember to call me if you need anything."

In the darkness, Tim watched everything that happened silently, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

The corner of the coffee shop.

"Lucas, why did you agree to Mindy joining?" Gwen asked incomprehensively, "She is even a child."

"Don't judge a person's ability by appearance." Lucas shook his head, "Robin was also a child when he became a hero."

"But this is different, isn't it? Robin is protected by Batman?"

"That's why we need Mindy to join us."

"I agree with Lucas' idea," Peter said.

"Huh?" Gwen looked at Peter in surprise.

Peter recalled the previous scene of fighting side by side with Mindy and bit his lower lip, "Gwen, you entered the impression space and didn't see it at that time, but with that child's fighting style, sooner or later she will die."

As Spider-Man, Peter didn't dare to rush forward despite the hail of bullets, but Mindy was more reckless in her physical body. You can say that her skills are at the peak, but not every battle will be so lucky, and she can brush against death again and again. And passed.

If Mindy keeps up her style, she will die in battle one day.

"I can feel that she has no goals, and it doesn't matter if she loses her life one day. She is very dangerous." Lucas knew very well, because he had seen many such people.

At this point, Gwen almost understood.

"I understand what you're thinking."

On the other side, Mindy returned to her base while humming a little tune.

Although she had always deliberately emphasized the differences between herself and them when she was with the three of them before, when she was alone in private, she released a relaxed and happy mood.

When the lights were turned on and the dim room was illuminated, Mindy was startled by Big Daddy on the sofa.

"Huh? Dad, you are here!"

"Who are those children?" Big Daddy asked.

"They're from Hell's Kitchen." Mindy took out a bottle of soda from the refrigerator.

"...I know." Big Daddy whispered, "Stay away from them in the future."

Mindy's eyes widened as she just unscrewed the lid, "Why!"

"...You just need to listen to me and stay away from them."

Such an unclear order would naturally not be approved by Mindy, so she put the soda pop on the table.

"Why, Dad!"

It was obvious that she had finally found someone she could talk to, so why did she have to stay away for no reason!

The big daddy looked at his daughter's red eyes and sighed slightly, "That blond girl... is the daughter of my former friend. I don't want her to be in danger because of us."

Mindy opened her eyes wide. She couldn't believe she would hear such an excuse. Gwen had seen her ferocious side and didn't dislike her. However, her biological father was questioning the danger she would bring to Gwen. .

Mindy lowered her head, "What do I think?"

Big Daddy was stunned for a moment.

Mindy raised her head, her eyes flashing with grievance, "My feelings are not important!"

This was the first time Mindy had a disagreement with him, which made Big Daddy a little at a loss, "I..."

Mindy sniffed and whispered, "I won't listen to you this time, Dad."

She emphasized: "I won't listen to you!"

After saying that, she ran out of the door.

"Okay, in this case the smoke bomb is completed." Hope said with satisfaction.

Under his guidance, Lucas became more and more skilled in making these small props. The only thing he knew how to do without much teaching was the lock picking tools. Lucas could actually do it faster than he was taught, which made Huo Huo Pu was a little frustrated, but fortunately he knew more than that.

Looking at the ball in his hand, Lucas nodded with satisfaction.

Although the raw materials are not easy to buy, you can actually find a lot of them in the magical palace with your eagle eyes.

This gadget can not only be used as a confusing and vigilant shadow in the palace, but can also play a role in reality.

The phone started vibrating and Lucas picked it up and was surprised to see the message was from Mindy.

[McCready: Hello.

McCready: ...

McCready:…………

McCready:…………

McCready: Where do you live? ]

Looking at these three rows of ellipses, Lucas could see Mindy's troubled face.

[Lucas: What's wrong? ]

Mindy replied instantly.

[McCready: Nothing!

McCready: ...

McCready: Just ran away from home.

McCready: Nothing. ]

Lucas twitched the corner of his mouth. If it was really nothing, he wouldn't bombard himself with text messages.

[Lucas: Really?

Lucas: If you just want to chat with me, let’s talk tomorrow.

Lucas: I'm going to bed soon. ]

"Whose news?" Hope asked curiously.

"Mindy's."

"Huh? Why did she send you so many messages?" Hope asked in confusion.

"I guess I had some trouble with my parents," Lucas said.

[McCready:?

McCready: Are you a senior citizen?

McCready: Going to bed at this hour?

Lucas: Yes, I'm sixteen years old.

McCready:? ? ?

Lucas: Okay.

Lucas: Because I have to go to school tomorrow. ]

"Go to school." Mindy, who was leaning against the wall with her head down looking at her phone, curled her lips and murmured: "What's so good about that..."

At this time, a drop of rain fell from the dark sky and fell on the screen of the mobile phone.

"Huh? It's raining..." Mindy raised her head and looked at the sky.

Large groups of dark clouds filled the sky. The clouds seemed to be very close at hand. It was foreseeable that a heavy rain was coming.

Mindy lowered her head and put on her hood, wondering where she was going to spend the wet night.

go home? Please, this is running away from home. Even if I beat her to death, she won't come home!

"Ah, it's raining." Hope looked at the raindrops on the window.

Soon, the white noise filled the whole tinnitus, and then the heavy rain fell, splashing a layer of white mist on the streets.

"It's raining so heavily," Hope sighed. "Fortunately, I don't have to wander in the wild now, otherwise my feathers would be wet, and I wouldn't be able to fly."

Lucas glanced out the window and saw that the rain tonight was indeed unexpectedly heavy.

His expression changed and he took out his mobile phone.

[Lucas: Where are you?

Lucas: Still out there?

Lucas: I'll pick you up! ]

The noise of the rain almost covered up all sounds. At this moment, Mindy was like a drowned rat. The heavy rain came so suddenly, and she was soaked before she could escape.

It's autumn now, and you can already feel a bit of coolness. The cold wind blows through the soaked clothes, which makes the taste a bit sour.

Mindy sneezed and started spitting Hell's Kitchen curse words out of her little mouth.

Thanks to her mobile phone being kept in her pocket, she didn't miss Lucas' message.

"What...what, this guy..." Mindy curled up under the bridge and pursed her lips.

Although she did think so at first, she gave up when she saw that Lucas had to go to bed early and go to school tomorrow.

Although Mindy can keenly feel the same kind of smell in Lucas, Lucas has obviously moved to the bright side. He has kind friends, an ordinary daily life, and a great future.

Big Daddy's words still affected Mindy to some extent. Can he really bother them?

[McCready: I'm fine.

McCready: Just a little rain. I can take care of myself.

Lucas: Don't say that.

Lucas: Tell me where you are. ]

"I told you to leave me alone..." Mindy, who complained so quietly, still responded honestly to the message.

[McCready:…

McCready: Have you thought about it?

McCready: I'm very picky!

Lucas: Address. ]

This time Mindy finally told Lucas where she was.

[Lucas: I know.

Lucas: Wait. ]

Mindy looked at the chat history on the phone screen and didn't look away for a long time.

Now she felt that she was different from Lucas. After all, she would not be so enthusiastic about someone she had only known for a few hours.

...No wonder I can make friends like Peter and Gwen.

Mindy didn't wait long before a pair of legs appeared in front of her eyes.

She raised her head and looked at Lucas, who was holding an umbrella.

Because he was afraid that the raindrops would affect his vision, Lucas took off his glasses, revealing a delicate and handsome face, and a pair of moist blue eyes like a clear lake.

"You said it doesn't matter. Are you planning to live in this bridge for one night like a homeless man?" Lucas raised his eyebrows and said, "You won't be picky now?"

In just two sentences, Lucas returned all of Mindy's work in the text message to her, which was a slap in the face.

Mindy's face fell, her slightly accelerated heartbeat returned to calm, and she said stiffly: "Humph, I just like it here!"

"Okay, it seems I'm nosy." Lucas pretended to leave.

Mindy's eyes widened and she jumped up, "Why are you like this!"

She got under Lucas's umbrella, "You came to pick me up anyway, so I'll go with you reluctantly!"

Lucas sighed slightly. He felt that sometimes he really didn't understand what girls were thinking.

He took out the coat from the bag and "put it on."

As for why he didn't take off his clothes, it was because he himself would be cold, and smart people always prepare in advance.

"...Thank you." Mindy said softly.

"Well, let's go."

When Lucas returned home, his trouser legs were also soaked. He wrung out his trouser legs at the entrance, put on his shoes, and glanced at Mindy, who was soaked all over and at a loss. He held his forehead helplessly and said, "Forget it. , you come in first.”

"Oh." Mindy looked much more reserved when she entered the room. She looked around the big house in front of her and whispered, "Your house is so big."

"Relax, there's no one else at home but me."

That's right, Hope is a bird and not a human being, at least not now.

Mindy took off her shoes and walked in. Her wet white socks left obvious water stains on the ground, and water was still dripping from her body.

"Change out of your soaked clothes first." Lucas said, "I'll give you one of my clothes."

For a ten-year-old girl, Lucas's clothes can be worn as dresses for her.

He gave Mindy a T-sleeve that he hadn't worn yet.

"Go ahead, you'll be in trouble if you catch a cold."

The United States is a country with a lot of flu, and many people die from the flu every year. It is really troublesome if you get the flu.

It wasn't until Mindy entered the bathroom that Hope flew over.

"You really brought her back."

Lucas took out the mop and mopped up the water stains on the floor.

"Otherwise, is it really possible to let her get soaked in the rain outside all night?" he said.

"I'm just a little surprised. You've changed a lot compared to when I first met you." Hope sighed.

You know, at first Hope hoped to get help from Lucas and Peter, but was fooled by Ruthless, and the main focus was Ruthless.

Lucas paused.

"Really? If I have the ability to help others, I will naturally do so. If not, I will not make a promise without permission."

Doing the best you can, this is Lucas's life creed.
