Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

When Batman walked away, Penguin breathed a sigh of relief. Only then did he realize that his back had been wet with sweat for some time.

"Damn Batman, he is so arrogant! And he calls us super criminals? He is obviously the biggest villain in this city!"

When he thought of his embarrassment just now, Penguin couldn't help but become angry and cursed in his heart.

He looked at O'Kilwei, who was lying on the ground and had long passed out, with a look of pity and a bit of happiness in his eyes.

The pity is because Penguin knows very well what it feels like to be kicked by Batman. Even if he doesn't know, he can probably imagine it after seeing the miserable appearance of the door.

As for the luck, it was because Okiervi had lost consciousness and did not see the Penguin's weak attitude towards answering Batman's questions.

After all, if his men saw what he just looked like, where would he put his Penguin face?

Although even if Okiervi witnessed everything, the Penguin would not kill him for this matter, but there would always be some psychological discomfort.

But don't think that this is because Penguin is too kind to his subordinates. It is purely because he has seen too many people. If Penguin kills all the people who know about it, then he will basically have few people left.

This is definitely not the first time Batman has forced his way into the Iceberg Club, and it definitely won't be the last.

Like in the beginning, Batman suddenly broke in several times when Penguin was holding a banquet, beat him up in front of many guests and subordinates, and then asked for information.

At first, Penguin thought about resisting, and arranged a large number of bodyguards around him all day long, always watching out for Batman.

Needless to say, the result is of course useless.

As time and experience deepened, Penguin learned to behave. Not only did he not resist, he even actively cooperated and said whatever was asked. Of course, Penguin's own criminal evidence must be eliminated here. This information would kill him. will not say.

In some special times, Batman will ask Penguin to help investigate cases, and Penguin will accept all orders.

Therefore, almost everyone in the Penguin Gang knows these things, but there are really not many people who will look down on the Penguin for this.

There are hundreds of gangs, big and small, and hundreds of thousands of underworld members in Gotham. Who dares to say that he is not afraid of Batman?

Anyone who really dares to say that is a super villain, and he is either a very courageous or a very strong-minded super villain.

That being said, Penguin knows that it is not shameful to be afraid of Batman, but the hurdle in his heart is not so easy to overcome.

The king of Gotham's underworld is submissive to Batman, which would make everyone feel aggrieved, and no one wants to let his subordinates see him like this.

At this moment, Penguin picked up the phone on his desk and contacted one of his subordinates.

"Sent several people to my office. Okierwe was seriously injured and took him to the hospital."

Not long after, several subordinates came over with a stretcher and carried Okierwe up.

On the other side, after Batman left the Iceberg Club, he returned to the Batcave with a heavy heart.

"Master Bruce, if you are always so gloomy, it will be difficult for you to be welcomed by the girls. If the Wayne family ends like this, I really don't know how to explain it to the ancestors of the past generations."

Alfred served tea and food as usual, and sighed at the same time.

"In an hour and a half, the Wayne Foundation will hold its annual charity gala. I also hope that you can meet a noble, beautiful, gentle and generous lady at the gala, rather than some female snitch who comes and goes without a trace or The eldest lady of the assassin organization..."

"I'm not in the mood to joke with you now, Alfred. I feel that the development of the situation is getting more and more beyond my control."

Batman took off his bat helmet and suit, revealing his muscular body, and then put on Bruce's usual attire.

"Are you referring to the charity gala? I know you don't like that scene very much, but this is a tradition that has continued since your mother established the Wayne Foundation."

"No, I mean Kaitou Kidd."

Bruce shook his head.

"If I remember correctly, the last time you mentioned Kaitou Kidd, you evaluated him as a 'boring thief who only does performance art'. Now it seems that your attitude has changed?"

Alfred asked strangely.

"Not only did Kaitou Kidd know my and Dick's identities, but he also knew Match Malone."

Bruce's eyes narrowed.

"Are you serious?"

Alfred's expression suddenly changed when he heard Match Malone.

He was one of Bruce's most trusted people, so how could he not understand what Match Malone meant.

"A few days ago, Kaitou Kidd disguised himself as Match Malone and bet against Oswald at the Iceberg Casino. I have never done such a thing, and I have investigated that the real Match Malone has not returned to Gotham."

Bruce said in a deep voice.

In the eyes of outsiders, Match Malone is the leader of the Match Gang, managing a newly emerging medium-sized gang whose main business is arson.

But in fact, Match Malone's true identity is Bruce Wayne!

That is one of Bruce's deepest secrets, and only those he trusts most know it. Even the Justice League doesn't know this secret, even though they don't need to know it.

Match Malone has a very special identity. He is a real criminal in Gotham who collaborates with his brother to set fires.

Many years ago, his younger brother was burned to death in an accident. This hit Match Malone so hard that he had the idea of ​​​​retiring from the world.

Ever since, Match Malone left Gotham sadly and flew away for several years. To this day, he still has no idea of ​​returning to Gotham.

It just so happened that at that time, Batman was trapped in Gotham's various gangs, which were intertwined and intertwined. The clues of many cases were interrupted due to insufficient intelligence. Even if criminals were tortured, the information obtained was quite limited, and even more so. The key is that the efficiency is too low.

He urgently needed a stable, fast and unobtrusive way to obtain information, and Match Malone's retreat gave him a good hint.

That's right, Bruce regards Match Malone as his underworld vest. Through this vest, he has mastered the secret information of most gangs in Gotham.

Match Malone is a real person, and he is still alive, but the Match Malone who thrives in Gotham is not Match Malone, and the Match Malone who bets against the Penguin is not Match Malone either.

In order to prevent him from returning to Gotham, Bruce strictly monitored Match Malone, whose every move was under Bruce's control.

"Kidd must have some kind of supernatural power. He longed for the cheers and admiration of the audience. He took a man-bat serum. He knew the identities of me, Dick and Barbara, and he also disguised himself as Match Malone and Penguin. On gambling……"

Bruce said with a frown.

"Alfred, I don't know what the purpose of Kaito Kidd is, and I can't figure out the purpose of his actions. He is beyond my control. I...can't understand him. "
