Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

Dean disguised himself as Match Malone and entered the Iceberg Casino, and made a $30 million bet with the Penguin.

This is how it happened?

That brings us to the Stone of Doom incident last month.

From Dean's perspective, the Stone of Doom is another plot by the Penguin against himself.

And this calculation is far more dangerous and secretive than the previous dragon egg ruby ​​incident.

If Dean hadn't vaguely sensed something was wrong and deliberately disguised himself as Batman to question Curator Offee, he might have been plotted unknowingly.

Although there is a system in place to ensure that Dean will not die under the curse of doom for no apparent reason, the Penguin's move of using the cursed gem to package the real gem deliberately for Dean to steal is really extremely vicious.

If the system is not immune to the curse, then Dean may be in danger.

This also made Dean realize that the feud between himself and the Penguin was getting bigger and bigger, and it gradually became irreconcilable.

But he doesn't quite understand why Penguin hates Kaitou Kidd so much?

It's not that Dean doesn't understand that taking someone's money is like killing one's parents, but this insistence on killing Kid the Kid doesn't fit well with his understanding of the Penguin.

Batman caused much more property damage to Penguin than Kidd, and Penguin didn't insist on killing Batman. People are very good at distinguishing the pros and cons.

The Penguin forced the Chandler family to take out the family heirloom gems, and hired the super thug Firefly, but in the end he still didn't kill Kaitou Kidd. Generally speaking, that's about it.

As a result, not only did it not stop, but a Stone of Doom came to continue the conspiracy.

You know, there is rarely such unrelenting hatred in the world of Gotham, not to mention that one of the things Penguin is best at is turning enemies into friends.

To be honest, Dean had imagined the Penguin would spend a lot of money to recruit him at first, but the result proved that the ideal is full, but the reality is very skinny.

Let alone recruiting people with huge sums of money now, thank God whenever the high bounty placed on Kaitou Kidd in the underground world can be removed.

Dean is not a person without a temper. The Penguin has plotted against him again and again. If he doesn't take revenge and goes back, can he still call others?

Not to mention that he would have to perform in front of Batman soon. If the Penguin was stirring up something secretly again, Dean wouldn't have that much energy to be distracted and watch out for him.

Ever since, while Dean was preparing the action plan for the Cavaliers Stadium, he also took the time to pay attention to the Penguins.

Then he discovered that the Penguin's whereabouts were a bit strange recently. The Penguin, who had been sitting firmly in the Iceberg Club all year round, actually started to change his base constantly, and would only appear in the Iceberg Club once in a while, as if he was hiding from someone.

There is not much basis, but Dean vaguely feels that it is related to the Stone of Doom in his hand. Perhaps the Penguin guessed through some signs that he is not afraid of the curse of doom, so he is worried that Dean will use the Stone of Doom to retaliate against him.

Dean really had this idea at first, but then he thought about it. The Stone of Doom was bought by the Penguin, and the container that can block the leakage of the curse was also bought by the Penguin. This means that the medium that blocks the curse is harmful to the Penguin. Said it was something that could be easily obtained.

So knowing that the enemy might come with the Stone of Doom to plot against him, Dean believed that Penguin would definitely buy something similar as soon as possible to protect himself.

Moreover, the curse of the Stone of Doom will spread when the person touches each other. It will stop spreading only after the person dies. An accident may lead to huge consequences, so Dean gave up using the Stone of Doom to retaliate against the Penguin. idea.

But this does not mean that Dean will let the Penguin unilaterally plot against him without fighting back. Long before Bruce held a press conference to challenge Kidd, Dean had been looking for opportunities to sneak into major gangs under the influence of the Penguin Gang. In the industry.

Various numbers of monitors and bugs were installed in places including, but not limited to, Iceberg Casino, Iceberg Club, Iceberg Restaurant, Iceberg Hotel, etc.

It didn't take long for Dean to learn some interesting news.

That's when O'Kilvi came to Iceberg Casino and asked the casino agent to start a gambling game using Kaitou Kidd's story, and said that this was what the Penguin meant.

Dean didn't expect that eating melon secretly could also affect him.

He immediately realized that there was a lot that could be manipulated in this bet.

So Dean planned to let the Penguin bleed for a while. He anticipated everything that happened in the casino before.

That's right, the whole process from "Match Malone" suddenly jumping out to betting against the Penguin was all within Dean's expectation.

He is not so confident that he can evade Batman's eyes 100%, but he has a secret weapon specially prepared for Batman. When the end is really necessary, he is still sure to escape.

Of course the best result is that you don't need to use that.

The Penguin family has a big business, and thirty million is actually not a lot, but Dean doesn't believe that he doesn't feel hurt when he loses so much money for no reason.

The only thing that was a bit beyond Dean's control was that Penguin didn't even bother to get rid of the casino agent.

The death of the casino agent had something to do with Match Malone's words, but if Dean felt particularly guilty, he really didn't.

Not because he is cold-blooded, but because he has investigated the background of the casino agent.

This guy's whole family is not a good person. He works for Penguin himself and his hands are very dirty. His wife is a pimp. She was imprisoned many years ago for buying and selling young girls and was just released a few years ago.

As for the agent's two sons, one is a debt collector for the gang and the other is selling fans.

There's no need to feel strange, family structures like this are quite common in Gotham's East End, and at least nine out of ten households are committed crimes by the whole family.

As for why Dean disguised himself as Match Malone.

It's not because he thinks Match Malone has any mysterious identity, but because Match Malone has one characteristic compared to other criminals in Gotham, that is, he often goes missing.

Match Malone has a rather arrogant personality, but his usual style is actually very low-key, with very few appearances. He also likes to vacation all over the world, and his whereabouts are so erratic that even his little brother sometimes doesn't know where he is.

Since many months ago, Match Malone has been missing, and no one knows when he will come back.

When Dean thought about it, there seemed to be no more suitable person to disguise himself than this guy.

What else is there to say? Just do what comes to mind. He dressed up according to Match Malone's usual clothes and put on a mask. It was perfect.

The voice and basic information can be obtained from the video tapes and files in the GCPD where Match Malone was imprisoned ten years ago. Anyway, these old materials in the evidence room of the GCPD archives are not taken care of at all. It is not difficult for Dean to take them away. No.

In this way, Dean bets with the Penguin. Even if he is caught by Batman in the end, he will lose Match Malone's money. What does it have to do with Dean?

In addition, he also got the Penguin's promise not to interfere with Kidd's affairs at Cavaliers Stadium, and to suppress the rest of Gotham not to cause trouble.

Wouldn't it be enough to allow Dean to stop thinking about other things and focus on fighting Batman?

Funny complaints, this book is filled with milky positive energy
