Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

"I am challenging Kaitou Kidd in such a big way with only one purpose, and that is to bring him to justice!"

Although the reporters were somewhat mentally prepared before coming, they were still shocked from the bottom of their hearts when Bruce announced the news on live camera in front of all the media.

Not because of Bruce's profound righteousness, but because of his absurdity.

How to challenge Kaitou Kidd publicly?

Do you know where Kaitou Kidd is? Just challenge him in the void?

And why should people accept your challenge?

When Penguin set a trap for Kid, he didn't mention it to the public because he was afraid of being too high-profile and frightening Kid. He even forced the Chandler family to use a dragon egg ruby ​​necklace as bait.

It would be better for you to hold a press conference directly, hoping that the whole world would know that you want to mess with Kaitou Kidd.

Without the temptation of such a rare treasure, how could Kaitou Kidd pay attention to you?

Well, the Wayne Group has a big business, so it is not difficult to come up with a few super gems that crush the dragon egg rubies.

But even if Kaitou Kidd really takes the bait, how can you guarantee that you will be able to defeat him?

Kaitou Kidd has never failed since his debut. GCPD, Robin, Batgirl and even Penguin have all dealt with Kaitou Kidd, but all of them failed.

You Bruce, a mere playboy who has nothing but money, why should you capture Kid the Phantom Thief?

What if Kidd, the thief, feels offended by Bruce's public challenge to him and refuses to return the gem to you out of anger? Wouldn't it mean that the Wayne Group would lose both his wife and his troops?

Bruce looked at the eyes of the reporters in the audience and knew exactly what they were thinking.

He didn't mind this and continued his speech.

"You must have all heard of Aquaman in the Justice League. He is closely related to the legendary ocean country Atlantis."

Bruce casually took out a sea-blue crystal gemstone from the lining pocket of his jacket. Its color and shape were different from all common gemstones on the market. It was not a simple sapphire.

"As we all know, the Wayne Group is one of the major sponsors of the Justice League, so I have had the opportunity to meet with everyone from the Justice League. This ocean gem was a meeting gift given to me by Aquaman. It is said to be a specialty of Atlantis. , this is the only one on the ground.”

"I don't know the specific value of this gem, because there have never been gems from Atlantis on the market, and the people on the seabed don't trade with the humans on the ground. I don't know the currency of Atlantis. What is the exchange rate."

Bruce said jokingly.

hiss--

After hearing Bruce's words, the reporters couldn't help but gasped. Ocean gems from Atlantis? Is this something they can watch without paying?

And what do you mean by that flippant attitude? How could such a precious gem be taken out of your pocket without any protective measures, not even wearing gloves?

I know that the Wayne family is very wealthy, but you are too arrogant!

No one doubts that Bruce is telling lies, because the Wayne Group does account for a large part of the Justice League's sponsors, and others such as Star Labs, Quinn Industries, Cord Enterprises and even the Washington government are all sponsors of the Justice League.

Even Lex Luthor wanted to fund the Justice League, but Superman refused because the league had sufficient funds.

All in all, it's not a big deal that Bruce has gadgets gifted by several members of the Justice League.

"Mr. Wayne, if such a precious treasure is stolen by Kaitou Kidd and he doesn't plan to return it, aren't you worried that Neptune will be angry?"

Vicky asked Bruce with a frown.

"Isn't it a bit too extravagant to use the gift given to you by Aquaman as a prize for challenging Kaitou Kidd? Wayne Group should have a lot of precious gem collections."

"Thank you for worrying about me, Miss Weir, but don't be afraid. According to my expectation, if everything goes well, Kaitou Kidd won't be able to steal it."

Bruce smiled confidently.

"Why are you so confident? Kaitou Kidd has never failed since his debut. Where does your confidence come from?"

Vicki couldn't help but ask.

"That's a good question because that's what I was going to say."

At this time, Bruce looked at Lucius, who had been standing next to him since just now, and took the initiative to take two steps back to give up the C position on the podium.

"I believe everyone is familiar with this gentleman. He is Lucius Fox, the CEO of Wayne Group. Next, he will introduce to you the source of my confidence."

Lucius nodded and stood where Bruce was.

As soon as he came up, he said: "Now, I would like to ask you to watch an experimental video."

As soon as he finished speaking, a huge virtual screen appeared from behind him.

Immediately, a short video started playing.

The content of the video is very simple. It is that Wayne Group is testing the defensive performance of a small black box somewhere, about the size of a pencil box.

But the test props they used were the main guns of three tanks, which fired at the box from three different directions at the same time.

The violent explosion blew the small box hundreds of meters away. However, when the experimenters found the box, it was intact without even a scratch!

"The box in the video is the latest product of Wayne Group's Technology Department. It is a new alloy made of promethium metal mixed with iron, chromium, zinc and other metal elements. It is as strong as shown in the video and is just a pencil box. Both large and small can withstand heavy fire bombardment without leaving traces.”

Lucius said.

"We decided to seal the ocean gems in a larger container made of the same material. Unless Kaito Kidd uses more powerful heavy firepower, it will be impossible to open it."

Lucius clapped his hands, and five or six people walked out from behind the stage, carrying a large object covered with black cloth.

The reporters looked at it curiously, wondering what was inside.

Boom!

After placing it on the countertop, there was a heavy sound.

Lucius walked over and lifted the black cloth away.

Immediately, the reporters in the audience screamed in surprise.

"what!"

That's a huge searchlight!

There's nothing surprising about a searchlight, but not having a bat symbol on it.

What Lucius asked to be brought up turned out to be a bat lantern!

"The bat symbol you see is actually a container made of promethium alloy, and I will put this ocean gem inside."

Bruce came over and faced the reporters.

"Yes, the container is not transparent. You can't see whether there are gems inside from the outside, so I will put the gems in in front of you now."

I saw Bruce take out the ocean gem and put it into the symbol of the Bat Lantern.

"Starting from today, this bat lamp will be placed here 24/, and there will be a special camera to continuously take pictures to ensure that I will not secretly change the gems."

"This is not a gem exhibition, but a challenge for Kaito Kidd!"

After doing this, Bruce faced the camera again, as if he was invisibly declaring war on Kaitou Kidd.

"Kaitou Kidd, I've prepared the stage for you!"

"Now, let's see if you dare to accept this challenge!"
