Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

He was beaten to pieces on the spot.

Oh, this is an exaggeration. In fact, it is not that miserable. The door is not broken, but has been severely deformed.

"Uh-huh... old... boss..."

At this time, a feeble groan came from the remains of the wooden door.

The Penguin took a closer look and saw O'Kilwe collapsed on the ground, with a bloody head and an unknown number of broken bones in his body, and he was already dying.

It is not difficult to imagine that Ogilvie was at the door when the door was kicked down just now, and he was kicked into the house along with the door.

The sudden situation made Penguin's face darken, and the anger in his eyes seemed to burst out.

"Who dares to do such a thing? Don't you know that beating a dog depends on the owner? You simply don't take me, the Penguin, seriously... Oh Shet!"

Just as Penguin grabbed the umbrella hanging by the table and looked at the door with full of anger, his pupils shrank instantly, and most of the anger in his heart dissipated.

His hand unconsciously let go, letting the umbrella equipped with countless black technologies fall to the ground.

Dense cold sweat appeared on Penguin's forehead.

Because an extremely tall figure walked in from outside the door. With Penguin's height, he could only look at him by raising his head.

"Batman."

Penguin said with an ugly expression.

"A few days ago, Match Malone played a bet with you at the Iceberg Casino. Am I right?"

A hoarse voice without any emotion came from Batman's mouth.

"Yes, it does happen, so what's the matter? I've never heard of any law prohibiting similar gambling bureaus."

The Penguin forced a calm face and smiled.

"We even took the lead in keeping all the gangs in Gotham peaceful for several days. You should thank me for my contribution to maintaining peace in Gotham, instead of breaking into my club and injuring my men and destroying it. Door."

Batman had no interest in Penguin's speech and had no desire to refute. He just walked up to Penguin expressionlessly and looked at him condescendingly.

A strong sense of oppression made the penguin swallow his saliva involuntarily.

"Where's Match Malone?"

Batman asked.

"what?"

Penguin was stunned when he heard this and almost didn't turn around.

If you are looking for Match Malone, then you should go to the Match Gang's territory. Why are you coming to my Iceberg Club?

and many more!

In an instant, Penguin remembered the content of the phone call just now. Match Malone claimed that he found out that he was being investigated, so he planned to hide for a while recently.

Match Malone believed that the person investigating him was the GCPD. At that time, Penguin also suspected that he sent Okiel to investigate and his matter was exposed.

But now, Batman suddenly came to ask Penguin for Match Malone's movements, which instantly made his mind active.

Could it be that the person Match Malone discovered was not O'Kilwe, but Batman?

"I told you, where is Match Malone?"

Seeing the Penguin's delay in recovering, Batman immediately lowered his voice and repeated it as if he was impatient.

"I do not know."

Penguin said quickly.

"You made a huge bet involving 30 million US dollars with Match Malone, and then you lost, and you were not happy to pay the money because you sent someone to investigate Match Malone's actions during this time, and you Now you tell me you don’t know where Match Malone is?”

Batman asked in a cold tone.

"I really don't know where he is, I swear to my dead mother!"

Faced with Batman's question, Penguin immediately swore and then recounted the contents of Match Malone's phone call just now.

During this process, the Penguin staff revealed all the information about Match Malone in detail, including the newly opened account.

It's not because he's afraid of Batman...well, he does have a certain fear of Batman. Batman has asked him for information too many times before to count.

But this is not entirely the reason why Penguin is so cooperative. He still has dissatisfaction with Match Malone in his heart. This is normal. No matter who loses 30 million, he will be dissatisfied.

Due to his identity and face, it is not convenient for the Penguin to retaliate so quickly after losing in a fair and open bet, but letting Batman deal with Match Malone is another matter.

"I checked. When Match Malone called me, he used a public phone in the most remote urban area of ​​Gotham. If Match Malone wants to hide for a while, he should no longer be in Gotham."

After listening to Penguin's story, Batman pondered for a moment and then asked.

"Did you transfer the money to his new account?"

Penguin shook his head. Not long after he hung up the phone, Batman rushed in without making any arrangements.

"There is no need to spend this money."

Batman said in a tone that left no room for doubt.

"I'll transfer 30 million to Match Malone's account for you."

"what?"

Penguin couldn't believe his ears, what did Batman just say? Do you want to help yourself send money to Match Malone?

Did he hear it right?

"I'm not paying off your gambling debt for free. Your 30 million will be transferred to the account of Gotham General Hospital, specifically to pay for medical expenses for the poor people at the bottom of Gotham. The donation process must be absolutely anonymous."

"What? Are you kidding me!"

Before Penguin could react from the shock of the previous second, Batman gave him another surprise.

What do you mean by transferring money to the hospital's account and maintaining complete anonymity?

It means that Batman will pay off Match Malone's gambling debt on his behalf, and his own money will be used for good deeds without leaving his name?

Isn’t this a disease?

Batman stared at Penguin with cold eyes and remained silent.

Penguin glanced down from the corner of his eye and found that Batman's fists were clenched.

"...Okay, I'll do as you say."

The Penguin swallowed the words he was about to blurt out and turned to hate.

"If Match Malone calls you again, record all the calls and I will come find you."

After receiving a positive answer, Batman said a few words and then turned around and left, his figure gradually disappearing from the Penguin's sight.

Chapter 170 Prelude to the big event

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.
