Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

"Who is he? He's so arrogant talking on Penguin's territory?"

All the gamblers turned their heads and looked in the direction of the sound.

A middle-aged man wearing sunglasses, a mustache, and a plaid suit stood up, pretending to straighten his collar in front of everyone, and stood proudly.

"Match Malone?"

As soon as they saw this man's appearance, everyone present showed expressions that he was your boy.

"Look at you guys, everyone is betting on the same side. What's going on? Is this still a gambling game?"

Match Malone looked around at the people around him with disdain in his eyes.

"If Kaito Kidd wins, then you guys will all lose all your money, and all the money will be won by the dealer. Who said Batman will definitely appear? Did he also send a notice letter? Who has received it? Did you receive it? I didn’t receive it anyway.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned for a moment, especially the casino agent's expression, which became extremely ugly for a moment. Fortunately, his professional skills were good, and his smiling face returned to his face in the next moment.

It seems that this is the truth. From the beginning to the end, the only rumors that Batman might appear were the casino agent's "tattletales".

Where this gossip came from and who revealed it, none of it was said.

Indeed, it is only a matter of time before Batman sets his sights on Kidd, but no one can guarantee that it will be today.

Match Malone is a criminal who has been active in Gotham for many years. He is very famous. In terms of seniority, he is older than Penguin, but his power is far behind.

This guy started out as an arsonist and worked with his younger brother. He didn't have much ability at first, but then his younger brother died in a certain incident, and then disappeared for two years.

However, in those two years, Match Malone seemed to have suddenly enlightened, and his abilities and skills suddenly became many times stronger. He went from being an arson boy to a high-level criminal leader.

In less than two months since returning to Gotham, Match Malone has pulled together a team and made a name for himself in the arson industry. It expanded many times in a short period of time.

Although it is not comparable to the old gangs such as Penguin and Two-Face, it is still considered the number one figure in Gotham.

Match Malone also set a rule for his little brother, that is, when burning a house, do not light a fire when there are people inside. It is said that this is because of the belief that his brother's death gave him.

He is lucky. There are basically no strong competitors in the arson business. Unlike traditional gangs, there is always a Penguin on top.

The older generation of villains are not very interested in setting fires. Although the rising star Firefly is very good, it is a pity that he is alone and has severe mental illness, so he can only work as a thug for others and has no ability to be the boss himself.

So Match Malone naturally became the leader of Gotham's arson team. Not only did he have no business conflicts with other people, but he even needed Match Malone's cooperation in many cases. Therefore, regardless of his popularity, at least he would not offend others if nothing happened. .

The only thing that makes people dislike him is his straight-forward and perverse personality. If it weren't for his arson skills, Match Malone is the most reassuring person in the family, and there is no core conflict of interest. This guy would have been killed long ago.

"More importantly, do you think it's difficult to control Batman's whereabouts?"

At this time, Match Ma Long said something shocking again.

"When the day comes when Kid is about to steal the gems, as long as I ask someone to set a fire at the GCPD or City Hall, Batman will immediately leave Kid behind and rush over to save people. Do you believe it?"

Hiss - yes, they have been fighting Batman for so many years, but they still don't know what Batman can tolerate temporarily and what he needs to strike hard?

At that time, just assassinate a few city councilors, or simply kidnap the mayor, throw it in a department store and stuff it with a dozen time bombs, and worry about not attracting Batman?

For them, these things are as simple as eating and drinking. If the Penguin wants to do this, it will be as easy as blinking an eye!

Thinking about how much a bomb cost, using this little thing in exchange for the millions of dollars they had bet on was a huge profit.

When Kidd comes out, Batman goes elsewhere. How can Bruce Wayne and the GCPD defeat Kidd just by relying on them?

All the gamblers present immediately realized the huge trap hidden behind this gambling game.

Whether Batman will catch Kaitou Kidd or not, and whether he can catch Kaitou Kidd is not important at all. These are completely subject to human interference.

According to the rules of the casino, if there are people betting on both sides of a guessing game, the casino will only take 15% of the bet, even if there is only one person betting on the other side.

But if only one side bets and no one cares about the other side, then if the result is opposite to what they bet, all the bets will go into the Iceberg Casino's pocket.

Penguin usually won't let this happen, because this behavior is too bad and will definitely cause the casino's reputation to plummet.

If it really happens that only one side can place bets, Penguin will secretly send someone to the other side to place bets.

I don’t know what this casino agent was thinking. He actually found out all the gossip about Batman. Just forget about it, but he didn’t secretly send someone to lead the way and deliberately bet on Kaitou Kid’s victory?

What's even worse is that this guy also said that the gambling game was opened at the boss's request.

It goes without saying who the owner of Iceberg Casino is.

"I come to Iceberg Casino because this place values ​​fairness. Mr. Cobot promised that he would never manipulate any gambling game, but today I am starting to feel disappointed here!"

After Match Malone's awakening, everyone present figured out the hidden scam in the gambling game and angrily denounced it.

At this moment, a man suddenly appeared in the Iceberg Casino surrounded by a group of people.

For a moment, the whole place was silent, and no one dared to speak again.

Because this man is the owner of this place, Oswald Cobblepot, the famous Penguin in Gotham!

"I heard someone was causing trouble in my casino?"

Penguin glanced at the audience and said.

"Cobot, don't think that you can deceive us unscrupulously just because you are powerful. You need to give an explanation for today's bet."

Match Malone took a few steps forward and said fearlessly.

"Ma Long? My answer to you is that I have never heard any rumors that Batman will definitely catch Kidd, the thief. It seems that I have a lot of people under my command who are very knowledgeable."

Penguin glanced at the casino agent and said calmly.

"Iceberg Casino will never manipulate gambling. This has been the absolute rule since the establishment of this casino."

"Anyone who dares to violate this rule will die."

Friends who have not read DC comics may not know it well. This Match Malone is actually Batman's vest, which is equivalent to an undercover identity.
