Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

Gotham, Iceberg Club, Boss Office.

A short, fat man in a tuxedo sat on top, expressionlessly listening to the reports of his subordinates.

This man had a rather strange appearance, with a round and swollen face and an unusually sharp nose that was as long as a penguin's beak.

His facial features are so obvious that there is no need to say much about his identity.

Today, the biggest underground king in Gotham is Oswald Cobblepot, the Penguin.

Beneath the Penguin, O'Kilver told him about Kidd's notice letter with a calm face.

"Kaitou Kidd?"

After listening to O'Kilwe's explanation, Penguin seemed a little uninterested. He didn't seem to take Kaito Kidd seriously, and just shook his head with disdain.

"Recently, the newcomers in Gotham are becoming less and less ignorant of the rules. He actually wants to take action on my things. Does he think he is Catwoman?"

At this time, O'Kilwe asked: "Boss, do you need to find someone to get rid of him?"

"Hmph, no need, someone will help us."

Penguin sneered after hearing this.

"More than half of Gotham's powerful people will be gathered at the auction. The GCPD will not let that thief disrupt the order of the venue. Even the bat and his bird will come after hearing the news."

"Even if I want to do something on this occasion, I have to weigh it carefully, let alone a thief who has just debuted?"

"We don't need to take the initiative to deal with him. This ignorant thief will pay the price for his stupidity."

O'Kilwei looked worried and asked: "Boss, I'm worried that Kaitou Kidd knows about the counterfeit diamonds. What if he reveals our secret by then..."

"So, so what?"

Penguin didn't take it seriously, "Okilwe, have you forgotten why we forged that diamond? I never expected to make money by photographing it from the beginning. Even if the forgery was exposed, how could I be right? What damage have we done? Not to mention there is no evidence that the diamonds came from us.”

"Should we just ignore Kaitou Kidd?"

The Penguin's indifferent attitude made O'Kilvi frown, "He spread the warning letter to let the whole city of Gotham know that he was going to steal something at the auction, and the target was definitely our diamond. From the outside world, this is Kaitou Kidd's provocation against the Penguin Gang, if we completely let him go..."

"Did I say leave him alone?"

The Penguin glanced sideways at O'Kilvi and said, "I'm just unwilling to offend the GCPD and Batman for a stupid idiot. This is a stupid decision. It doesn't mean I'm afraid of them!"

"Okilwe, on the day of the auction, the hotel must be full of GCPD people. We will not be involved in the affairs inside. You arrange a few gunmen to ambush outside. Be careful not to be discovered by the police. If Kidd escapes, Then let people kill him directly. If Kaito Kidd is arrested, then kill him along with the police car escorting him!"

"You don't need me to teach you such a simple thing, right?"

"Understood! Boss, I will follow your instructions in everything."

O'Kilwe immediately assured Penguin, and then left the office to arrange manpower.

However, when O'Kilwe turned around, an intriguing light flashed through the depths of his eyes.

And this scene was not seen by the Penguin...

At the same time, GCPD headquarters.

"This is a blatant provocation by Kaitou Kidd to the Gotham police!"

Gordon gathered all the available officers and delivered an angry speech.

He was holding Kaitou Kid's notice in his hand, showing it to everyone.

"How dare a thief so brazenly announce his crime and distribute the notice letters to citizens in large numbers!"

"What does he want to do? He wants to invite countless citizens to watch his crime process! It's like ignoring the Gotham police!"

"Kidd wants to trample the dignity of the GCPD under his feet, but I, Jim Gordon, will be the first to refuse! I believe you guys won't agree either!"

As soon as these words came out, the group of young police officers below suddenly became excited as if they had been shot. They were all fresh blood who had become police officers in the past ten years.

Most of them set out on this road because they admired Gordon. They were different from those veterans who had been there for decades. At least in comparison, this group of young people were not yet polluted physically and mentally.

"Over the years, we have encountered enemies that are far more powerful and difficult to deal with than Kaitou Kidd. There has never been a villain who has such contempt for the dignity of the police!"

Gordon told the history of GCPD with a proud expression on his face.

"And those enemies were eventually defeated by us, and Kaito Kidd will not be that exception!"

At this point, Gordon changed the subject.

"Therefore, all those who have not received the case for the time being will work overtime starting from today. They must decipher the contents of Kidd's notice letter before the auction starts next Saturday!"

In this way, the GCPD began its high-spirited puzzle-solving work.

-

On the outskirts of Gotham City, there is a luxurious manor that occupies a large area. The center of the manor is a five-story villa with an area of ​​over 3,000 square meters.

Every piece of wood, every decoration...everything you can see here is the most top-notch rare thing in the world.

Those priceless antiques can be seen everywhere in the villa, even placed in random locations.

This manor is the ancestral home of the Wayne family. It has a history of more than a hundred years, but it also hides deep secrets that go back far more than a hundred years.

In the villa, in a luxurious restaurant that could accommodate dozens of people dining at the same time, there were only two people at this time.

One of them is Dick Grayson, and the other is a tall, thin, elegant and easy-going old man.

The old man is wearing a butler's uniform, but don't underestimate him just because he is just a butler.

In fact, the old butler named Alfred Pennyworth is the most important person in Wayne Manor.

"Master Richard, does today's food not taste good?"

Alfred asked Dick, who was staring at the letter of Kidd's notice in his hand, thinking deeply, and had not yet taken a bite of food.

"Huh? No, I like to eat this."

Dick came to his senses and quickly stuffed a mouthful of food on the plate.

"I don't want you to be like Master Bruce, who often doesn't even bother to eat for the cause of fighting crime. Now is the time when your body is growing, and you need the most nutrition."

Alfred suggested sincerely.

"No, Alfred, I'm not like Bruce, I'm just myself."

As soon as Alfred said this, Dick felt as if he had been touched. He immediately picked up the plate in front of him and devoured it, even putting aside Kidd's notice letter.

"Master Richard, I am very pleased that you like my cooking, but don't eat so fast, you will choke."

Alfred shook his head helplessly.
