Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

Chapter 217 Gotham can't have two penguins!

Tap tap tap tap...

A short, fat man wearing a tuxedo appeared in front of Mr. Combustible.

He has an unusually sharp nose that looks like a penguin's beak.

Judging from this man's appearance and Mr. Keran's title of "Boss", there is no doubt that he is the Penguin who was believed to have died on the night when the Man-Bat Virus was raging!

Gordon's guess was right, the Penguin was not dead, he escaped.

"Tell me what that shameless traitor O'Kilwe has been up to lately?"

Penguin asked with a gloomy expression.

"Him? He has made a lot of big moves recently, but..."

Mr. Keran had some hesitation on his face.

"but?"

Seeing Mr. Keran's hesitation, Penguin immediately looked grim.

"But I couldn't figure out what he was trying to do."

Seeing the Penguin's displeasure, the sharp-eyed Mr. Keran immediately answered.

Penguin remained silent and motioned for him to continue.

"After O'Kilwe claimed that Emperor Penguin took over all the power you once had, he began to arrange people to commit all kinds of bizarre cases."

Mr. Combustible recounted.

"He first sent a lot of thugs who didn't know where to attack the Medical Research Institute of Star Laboratory, but only took away a batch of health products that were being tested, and then hired Victor Zass Killing people everywhere indiscriminately, only the next day Zass had his hands and feet broken by an angry Batman. However, Zass did not reveal that he was hired. After all, he is a pervert who likes to kill, no matter if someone hires him or not... …”

"Finally, just two days ago, Emperor Penguin asked a few of us guys with some superpowers to lead some people to rob a bank for thirty-five minutes. Yes, that's right, it only took thirty-five minutes from the time the order was issued to the time we got the money back. , even if all of us add up, this time is only enough to grab about 30 million in cash, and God knows what he will do with this little money."

Mr. Combustible said complainingly that he could not understand why Okierwe did these things.

"And..."

Before he could finish his words, Penguin interrupted him rudely.

"Shut up!"

The Penguin was seen staring at Mr. Keran, his fierce look clearly revealed.

"What did you just say, Emperor Penguin? Who allowed you to call this name? O'Kilwe is just a betrayer who is lower than frog piss!"

"Yes, yes, boss."

Mr. Combustible was startled by Penguin's sudden irritation.

"Just remember, Bulbhead, Ogilvie is just Ogilvie, not an emperor penguin!"

"There can only be one Penguin in Gotham, and that's me! Oswald Cobblepot!"

Penguin made a declaration with a ferocious expression.

His eyes seemed to be staring at Mr. Keran, but he seemed to be looking at another person.

Mr. Combustible swallowed his saliva in shock at the Penguin's aura.

"Go on, what else?"

Suddenly, Penguin spoke, letting Mr. Keran continue the unfinished topic.

"Behaviors such as going to war with other gangs who disobey the rule and suppressing dissidents, Emperor...Okierwei has done a lot of it. Although our Penguin Gang's base is large enough to temporarily suppress all rival gangs, But anyone can see that doing so will only lead to crazy revenge.”

Mr. Keran said quickly, speaking much faster than before.

"Raids on the Star Laboratory, hired murders, bank robberies, gang wars... Okierwei has just taken office and made so many big moves in a vigorous and vigorous manner. Each task did not take long, but all of them left a huge legacy. hidden dangers."

"Although Okierwe is very prosperous now, if this continues, it won't be long before he can maintain his rule."

After listening to Mr. Keran's narration, Penguin frowned deeply.

In his opinion, each of O'Kilwe's recent moves is fine when viewed individually, but if he does so many things at once and doesn't deal with the aftermath properly, then it's just bad chess.

Apart from killing himself, Penguin couldn't think of a second ending.

He did not believe that Okiervi who betrayed him would be a fool, and there must be some secret hidden in these seemingly suicidal behaviors.

Penguin pondered for a moment and then asked: "What has O'Kilwe himself done in these days?"

"Sorry, boss, I don't know. O'Kilwe is very cautious about his whereabouts. He usually stays at the Iceberg Club, but once he leaves the Iceberg Club, no one knows where he went."

Mr. Keran replied ashamedly.

Penguin touched his chin and narrowed his eyes slightly. His intuition told him that Ogilvy was definitely plotting something.

"Where's Batman? Where has he gone? Didn't O'Kilwe provoke Batman when he caused so many things?"

Suddenly, Penguin turned around and asked.

"Not long ago, Batman did come to see him, but he left quickly. It is said that O'Kilwe's face was swollen for a long time that day. No one knows what they said. They only know that Batman started chasing him crazily. Kill Mosaic, until now.”

Mr. Combustible replied.

"Mosaic?"

The Penguin's eyes moved, and he knew that the man behind the Man-Bat Virus was O'Kilwe. From when he was being chased madly by the mutant Man-bat, when O'Kilwe methodically fired lasers with his umbrella, he was convinced that O'Kilwe was with the human bat. Bat viruses are inseparable.

But that's what he knows, others don't know about it.

If there is anything that can make the evil-hungry Batman temporarily stop fighting crime, it would be the man behind the Man-Bat Virus.

With his toes, he knew that O'Kilwei must have poured dirty water on Mosaic. With Batman's character, he would not ask Mosaic if he had done this in a good manner, and Mosaic itself was not Innocent, there is no way he would run around and ask Batman why he wanted to deal with him.

Before Mosaic was caught and beaten by Batman, there were few other things that could distract Batman at this time.

It is precisely because of this that among all O'Kilwe's deployments, only Zas, who had the most serious case, was severely beaten by Batman, and everything else went smoothly.

But there's still that problem. Mosaic is not the god of escape. He can't hide for a few days from Batman's pursuit. At that time, O'Kilwe will face Batman who becomes serious.

No one in Gotham wanted to see Batman in that state. It was impossible for O'Kilvi not to understand this truth, but he still did it.

"It feels like O'Kilwe is in urgent need of time, and would rather bear a bigger counterattack in the future. He must also try to squeeze out this period of time..."

Suddenly, a light flashed in Penguin's eyes.

"I'm afraid that O'Kilwe's hidden plot has entered its final stages and requires a safe time and place anyway, even if it may only be for a few days."

Because of the relationship with the American TV series "Gotham", many people may think that Penguin hates this title, but that is the setting of the TV series. In fact, the Penguin in the comics does not hate penguins, he really likes penguins. Animals, he often even compares himself to the habits of penguins. He also wishes everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and is frightened in the comment section.

Chapter 218 A new Phantom Thief appears in Gotham!

"Hey, Bulb Head, you continue to stay with O'Kilwe, try to gain his trust, and tell me everything he does, even if it's just some insignificant details."

In the sewers, Penguin gave his final order to Mr. Combustible.

"Understood, boss."

Mr. Combustible nodded heavily.

Then the two of them separated and stayed away from the sewer.

-

Cassandra's safe house, in the basement.

"No, no, you can't look at your hand when cutting the cards. You have to look at the audience very naturally, or look at any corner. In short, don't look at the hand that cuts the cards."

Dean looked at Cassandra who was practicing changing cards and corrected her.

"No, that's not right either. You can't just change your gaze. The point is not there, but in your eyes. You can't show too obvious fluctuations, and you can't let people see that you are guilty or cunning. You have to be more confident and natural. a little……"

"You also need to be more flexible in your thinking. Don't imitate my movements one by one. That is meaningless. You have to do what I say, not what I do. Do you understand?"

Looking at Dean's correction and guidance, Cassandra scratched her head in confusion.

Dean helplessly put his hand on his forehead. He felt that he was asking too much.

Ever since Dean persuaded Cassandra to stay with him for a while that night, Dean began to give her some simple special training.

After all, as a Phantom Thief's assistant, it would be unreasonable if he didn't even have the skills that a Phantom Thief should have.

However, this special training situation is slightly complicated.

Due to Cassandra's extremely superior fighting talent, her body control ability is very good, and she can learn any technique easily, even very difficult magic techniques.

In just a few days, Cassandra's skills were no less than those of a professional magician.

However, in the world of magic, technique is only one component after all. It is only the lower limit to measure the level of a magician. Acting skills, wisdom, observation, psychological games, and innovative ideas are what distinguish ordinary magicians from top magicians. division indicators.

Of course, Dean could not apply this standard to Cassandra, and her identity was not that of a magician.

Dean only needs to develop her acting skills and simple psychological games. She doesn't need to be particularly proficient. She just needs to avoid being seen through in a short period of time.

But in this area, Cassandra's learning progress is too slow, not even as fast as the progress of ordinary people with zero basic knowledge.

"The lack of common sense in life and over-reliance on interpreting the body have made Kashan only 'understand' but unable to 'execute' some techniques that require misleading others' psychology..."

Dean thought as he held his chin.

"Think about it, with such a past, it's amazing that she can do what she is now. I shouldn't be too harsh on Kashan."

Looking at Cassandra who was still immersed in practicing, Dean suddenly said: "Stop it first, Cassandra."

Cassandra glanced back at Dean in confusion.

"It's almost half past eight and we haven't had dinner yet."

Dean flashed his hand and said.

"It's too late to cook at this time. Let's go out to eat."

Cassandra originally wanted to say that she wasn't very hungry, but Dean didn't give her a chance to refuse. He took her hand and walked out.

"By the way, let's change our clothes before going out."

When Dean said changing clothes, he meant changing into normal casual clothes, not disguising himself.

Even though Dean seems to often put on a disguise before going out, it is to prepare for the action in advance. It is impossible for him to disguise himself even if he goes out for a meal.

Dean's true identity has not yet been exposed, so he doesn't have to be careful wherever he goes like other wanted criminals.

And if Dean himself never appears in the city, it would be even more suspicious. How can anyone stay at home their whole life without going out or socializing?

Unless there is some mental illness, even a severely dead house will see the sun sometimes.

Even if there is a very small possibility that Dean and Cassandra meet Dick, Barbara or Bruce by chance, there will be no problem. After all, everyone already knows them. If they are more familiar with each other, That can be considered a friend.

At least in the current view of the Bat Family, only Bruce cares about Cassandra for some unexplainable reasons, but it is far from reaching the point where he needs to be vigilant.

It is impossible for others to suspect that there is anything wrong with Dean and Cassandra walking together.

Therefore, Dean took Cassandra to a restaurant not far from here very naturally, generously and without any worries.

Meanwhile, in Old Town Gotham, the City Hall building.

Today, this unknown mayor of Gotham, after finishing his work for the day, got into the driver's car and returned home.

Like every previous mayor, the current mayor is also a corrupt official who has made countless fortunes. He not only bought the top mansions in Gotham Villa District, but also collected a large number of rare treasures, many of which include world-class gems.

The most precious one is called the "Eye of the Sky". It is a rare bluestone in the world. It has a beautiful appearance and is extremely valuable.

The current mayor is also different from his predecessors in that although he is greedy, he is not greedy for all money.

Not because he still has a weak conscience in his heart, but because he is afraid of Batman.

There have been several Gotham mayors who lost their official titles and were imprisoned because Batman found key criminal evidence.

The current mayor doesn't want to make the same mistake again. He knows where Batman's bottom line is, so he tries not to touch that bottom line.

Batman is not a person who can't rub dirt in his eyes. He has never expected Gotham's government system to produce any good officials.

As long as he doesn't get too presumptuous and hangs out directly with gangsters or super criminals, Batman usually won't trouble the mayor. If he's greedy for money, just be greedy for money.

"Master, no, it's not good!"

The current mayor returned home and as soon as he got out of the car, he noticed that the atmosphere at home was a little strange.

As usual, Butler Rogers, who would greet him at the door every time he came back, also ran over with panic on his face.

Running and shouting that something bad happened.
