Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts
Chapter 69 Back to reality
When Harry struggled to wake up with a face full of panic, he saw an unfamiliar ceiling and a soft bed under him.
After Harry stared blankly for a few minutes with his eyes wide open, he realized that this was no longer Norman's palace, but reality.
"You're awake." Lucas said leisurely, leaning against the door.
"Um……"
The moment he saw Lucas, Harry truly relaxed.
Although his temples were still hurting, Harry, who was weak in his limbs, couldn't help but ask, "What's going on now?"
"Norman took a tube of blood from Peter. Since everyone's physical condition is not optimistic, I think retreating is the best choice." Lucas said simply.
"Peter's blood..." Harry murmured.
"What? Any ideas?" Lucas asked.
Harry shook his head and said with some disappointment, "No."
"It's okay. Let's take a good rest now. Is there anything else uncomfortable?" Lucas opened the curtains, and pale sunlight suddenly filled the room.
Harry narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is this your home?"
"Well, this is my room," Lucas said.
"Your room?" Harry looked around with interest.
Lucas's room is different from the sloppy boys. It is neatly organized. Tools for making props are placed on the table. Game discs and recently popular books are placed in the bookcase.
"A little unexpected..."
"Ok?"
"I thought Lucas would prefer academic books. Peter is like that. He has academic special issues and the like in his bookcases," Harry said.
Lucas's grades are very good. Going to an Ivy League university in the future is not a problem, it's just...
"To develop academically..." Lucas shook his head, "I have no such ambition."
Harry, who didn't expect to get such an answer at all, blinked, "So what does Lucas want to do in the future?"
The future... this is really a distant word.
Lucas sighed, "I don't know."
He looked at Harry's surprised expression and smiled helplessly, "I really don't have a clue."
"This is really unexpected..." Harry murmured.
But for a teenager, it is very normal to feel confused about the future. It’s just that Peter and Gwen have very clear plans, including Harry himself, who has already decided on his future, so he is very concerned about the future. Our leader was confused and surprised.
"Actually, it's not impossible..." Lucas said softly, "I want to go back."
"go back?"
"Well, Gotham."
"Huh?" Harry opened his eyes wide.
"I always feel like... there are still important things unfinished." Lucas said vaguely.
Harry looked at Lucas and felt that the boy in front of him revealed his true self at that moment.
Everyone had their own secrets, and Harry had the decency not to pry, so he changed the subject.
"By the way, how long has it been now?"
"Don't worry, it's only four hours." Lucas replied.
To be honest, he was still a little worried about Harry's physical condition. Norman's purpose was only to get Peter's blood. The gases used for anesthesia would indeed cause coma for ordinary people, but Harry's condition was much more serious than everyone else's. .
Even with the dose used to anesthetize humans, for Hope, she woke up two hours ago, but Harry slept for a full four hours, which was definitely not a good sign.
Lucas sighed deeply as he looked at this young man who was terminally ill and destined not to live long.
Harry himself knew this. His body had already had warning signs, but his expression was quite calm.
"You actually slept for so long? I really caused trouble for you."
"It doesn't matter, it's just that they have all gone back." Lucas said, "Do you have any plans?"
Harry took out his mobile phone, but it was still blank. Norman had not sent him any messages.
Of course, Harry was not surprised, because this was the norm.
"I'll go back first," he said. "Even for future reforms, I have to work harder to become familiar with everything about the company."
Harry packed his clothes and left.
"Huh? Is Harry gone?" Hope said in surprise.
"Well, he said he wanted to go back to the company."
"Wow, this is too hard!" Hope sighed.
"Harry already knew what he was going to do," Lucas said.
He looked out the window. Although it was already December, the weather was surprisingly good. It didn't rain, let alone snow.
"Speaking of which, isn't Christmas tomorrow?" Hope said.
"That's what happened." Lucas responded, "I wonder if it will snow on Christmas?"
"I was so busy dealing with Norman that I completely forgot about Christmas!"
"You just forgot." Lucas said, "I have prepared gifts for everyone."
"Huh? Lucas, you are too cunning! When!"
Lucas raised his lips, "Smart people always prepare in advance."
He touched Hope's soft feathers and said, "Hope also has a share."
"Huh?" Hope flapped her wings in surprise, "I...am I also involved?"
"Of course, after all... Hope is also an important companion."
"Aww, Lucas, you're so nice!"
In Hope's moved voice, Lucas took off his glasses and saw his slightly reflective blue eyes in the reflection of the lenses.
Lucas was stunned for a moment, and light suddenly appeared in his originally empty eyes.
Not long after Harry here left, he suddenly remembered something important. He picked up his phone and clicked on the Phantom Thieves group.
[Osborne: What to do about the notice letter?
McCready: As for the time, it can be anytime, Lucas will decide anyway.
Lucas:…
Lucas: Didn't everyone decide together?
McCready: Um...
McCready: It's not important anyway.
Stacey: Is Harry in a hurry?
Osborne: Not really, I just thought about whether we should move on to the next stage.
Lucas: The deadline for the notice letter is only one day, and tomorrow is Christmas. Harry, are you sure you want this day?
Osborne:! ! !
Osborne: Christmas?
Osborne: I totally forgot!
Parker: There's so much going on these days, and I totally understand...
McCready: Huh?
McCready: What are you doing for Christmas?
Stacey:?
Stacey: Mindy, you don’t have anything to do on Christmas?
McCready: Isn't it just an ordinary day? What kind of activities can there be? ]
Gwen subway in front of mobile phone, old man, mobile phone.
[Stacey: What the hell is going on with you guys?
Osborne: Just an overtime day.
McCready: Just a day in training.
Lucas: It's just a study day.
Parker: Uh-huh.
Parker: Should I stay in formation?
Stacey: Why are you joining in the fun! ]
Looking at her miserable companions, Gwen frowned in annoyance. She would definitely spend Christmas with her family, but to be honest, she was still a little worried about the lonely Harry and Lucas. Peter had Uncle Ben and Aunt May, Mindy also has a big daddy, only Lucas is an orphan, and Harry's dad is almost the same.
[Lucas: Just kidding, I’ve been here alone all these years, nothing happened.
Lucas: What’s more, Hope is here this year too.
Osborne: +1
Osborne: I will repent of my father after Christmas, and I have to prepare in advance to prevent a large-scale shock to the company.
McCready: Yeah, Dad said he would cook a big meal. ]
"Everyone..." Gwen was stunned, and then smiled slightly.
[Stacey: Yeah, I've prepared gifts for everyone, so look forward to it.
Macready: Ah, so cunning!
McCready: I’m ready too!
Stacey: The way I think about it is that even though we have to spend the evening with our family, we can still get together at noon and have a meal and exchange gifts and stuff.
Parker: Dinner together? OK!
Osborne: Got it, let me arrange it.
Parker: Huh?
Osborne: Don’t worry, we won’t cover a place where everyone will feel uncomfortable.
Parker: Harry, I still trust your taste.
Lucas: I have no problem with that.
McCready: We just separated and now we have to get back together.
Stacey: But Mindy, you are always happy to be with everyone.
McCready: Huh.
McCready: Just barely.
Osborne: That's settled. ]
Although he was talking about exchanging gifts, Lucas looked at the big man in front of him, hesitated, and knocked on Peter's door.
"Lucas!" Mei said in surprise. She looked at the big box in Lucas's hand doubtfully, "This is..."
Lucas poked his head out from the box, "Actually, this is a Christmas gift."
"Is it for Peter?" Mei wanted to take over.
"No, this is still very heavy..."
"Lucas?" Peter came down from upstairs after hearing the noise.
Lucas had no sympathy for Peter and gave him the box directly.
"Christmas gift."
"Huh?" Peter accepted the gift with a confused look on his face, "Didn't you say we would exchange gifts together then?"
"...Do you think this size is suitable?"
"Um..." Peter smiled awkwardly, "Do you mind if I take it apart now?"
"Tear it down."
As soon as he opened the box, Peter was stunned, "This is... the Millennium Falcon?!"
That’s right, Lucas gave Peter a Lego Millennium Falcon.
Peter's expression suddenly became complicated, "Isn't this a little too expensive?"
"Giving gifts is mainly about the intention, not the value." Lucas said, "I can afford it now, and you like it too, that's enough."
"It...actually..."
Peter soon moved a big box as well.
Lucas looked at the box in front of him in surprise. Inside was the Lego version of Hogwarts Castle.
Peter scratched his head in embarrassment, "The main reason is that we bumped into gifts and got to know each other in a strange way..."
"Pfft..." Lucas couldn't help laughing, "Indeed, we actually thought of it together."
"Lucas, do you like my gift?" Peter asked a little nervously, "I just know that you are reading novels recently, and Lego and stuff are just things I like."
Lucas glanced at the box, "To be honest, I have never played with Lego, and I don't know if I like it, but..."
In Peter's nervous expression, he continued: "If someone is willing to take me with them, I am still willing to try it."
Peter suddenly showed a big smile, put his arm around Lucas's shoulders, and said excitedly: "That's great, we can put these two big guys together!"
After agreeing on a date with Peter, Lucas returned home and found an extra package at the door.
"This is……"
Lucas looked at the mailing address and saw the word Gotham clearly written on it.
Tim was the only one who could send something to Lucas from Gotham.
Lucas opened the package and saw a USB flash drive inside.
A sticky note was stuck to it.
[to Lucas:
I put a hacking program in it. If you need anything, just plug this into your computer. I believe you can use it.
PS: I have received the gift you gave me and I like it very much.
Tim. ]
And a teenager in another city was humming an unknown song easily and adding a brand new coffee machine to his collection.
The young man next to me asked curiously: "Tim, did you buy a new coffee machine?"
"No, it was a gift from a friend." Tim said with a smile.
"Friends? Your Young Justice?"
The eldest brother of the Wayne family, Dick immediately remembered the young hero organization that Tim proposed to form.
"No." Tim sighed, "What's more, it's just an idea."
"Isn't Cassie very supportive, and Cassandra said she would join in." Dick patted Tim on the shoulder.
"There is a case in my hands that I am very concerned about," Tim said. "I want to investigate it first and then form an alliance."
"Is it the same case as last time?"
After knowing that the real identity of the Phantom Thieves is Lucas, Tim is not so wary of the Phantom Thieves. After all, Lucas is a friend he has known for several years.
Tim shook his head, looked at his eldest brother, and asked, "Dick, have you heard of Project Cadmus?"
A trace of doubt flashed in Dick's eyes, "What is that?"
"I intercepted it from Luther's intelligence." Tim clicked on the mini computer. "I am very concerned about the consumption of materials on it. Some materials disappeared without a trace and are completely untraceable."
"So you think Luther is going to cause trouble again?" Dick also became serious.
"It's just a guess at the moment." Tim said, "I will find an opportunity to find out the information."
As soon as Dick heard this, he knew that Tim had his own plan. This was very common for the Bat family, but...
"Luthor is a very cunning man, so be careful." Dick warned.
"I understand." Tim nodded seriously.
"By the way, has Jason contacted you recently?" Dick asked.
When it comes to the second brother with the most personality, Tim is a little helpless, "No."
Dick sighed greatly, "Christmas is tomorrow, and I hope Jason can come back to Wayne Manor to spend the holidays with us."
"But it's difficult, isn't it? Last time Jason wiped out the gang, Bruce almost sent him to Arkham."
This is a difficult father and son pair. The eldest and the third child looked at each other and could only shake their heads.
