Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics

Entrance of Iceberg Restaurant.

Hannibal brought Serena here.

"Are you sure your friend named Bain meets me here?"

Serena did not walk in for a long time.

In Gotham, places like the Iceberg Restaurant, ordinary citizens actually have nothing to worry about when they enter.

But they, people in the dark world, can't walk in casually without permission.

Either you want to take refuge in the Penguin, or you are here to smash the scene.

Especially the owner behind the iceberg restaurant, Penguin is notorious for paying attention to rules.

To be honest, Serena didn't want to step into the territory of the Penguins in her entire life.

Because of the deterrent power of the Penguins, the underground world of Gotham is too big.

"Hehe, Miss Kyle, Bain will stay in it now."

Hannibal made a please gesture.

"Don't worry, Bain and Mr. Copper are also partners."

Serena's eyes condensed for an instant.

Hannibal was talking about partners, which meant that Bain, who had never heard of it, could talk to the Penguins on an equal footing?

Then Bain's power is at least not much worse than the Penguin gang.

Even Hannibal is willing to join this alliance.

Two big men with such big hands and eyes united together, what do they want to do?

He is a little thief, how could He De be favored by them?

He even sent Hannibal to rescue himself.

Serena kept thinking, she felt that she might be about to be involved in an unprecedented war.

Under Hannibal's leadership, none of the waiters in the restaurant came up to stop them.

All the way to the top floor of the restaurant unimpeded.

As soon as she stepped out of the elevator door, Serena entered a luxurious suite.

But the next second she found out that Hannibal hadn't walked out of the elevator with herself.

"Miss Kyle, I have heard your name for a long time. You are a rare talent."

Judging from the appearance of the Penguin, it seems that it has been waiting for a long time.

And beside the Penguin, there stood a strong man who was not under the golden union.

It's just a little strange. The brawny man wore a mask that looked like a respirator, which covered most of his face.

Facing the warm hospitality of Kobot, Serena said she couldn't afford it.

"Mr. Copper, it's my honor to meet you for the first time."

With a false smile on her face, Serena shook hands with the Penguin.

"Presumably this is..."

"Bain."

The brawny man wearing a mask took the initiative to speak.

His voice has a unique hoarseness, and it really feels like a person wearing a breathing mask is talking desperately.

There is a kind of inexplicable magnetism that makes people want to listen to it.

"Miss Kyle, I don't like talking round and round, I came to you just to invite you to join us"

"And your first mission to join us is to steal something."

Baine looked like a rather rough man, but his tone of voice was very polite.

Although what he said was tough.

"Before I say this, I want to know why you are looking for me?"

Serena did not directly agree.

"You are the best thief in Gotham."

Bain took it for granted.

"Maybe it used to be, but now I should only be second."

"The targets selected by the thief Kidd are basically gems, and he will not necessarily hand over the stolen things to us."

At this time, the Penguin intervened in the conversation between the two.

"The most important thing is that he is currently active in New York. We don't know where to find him."

Baine nodded.

"In comparison, you are the best choice."

"Well, then what is it that makes you hire an outsider to steal it?"

There is nothing wrong with this reason, Serena reluctantly accepts it.

"Bruce Wayne's fingerprints."

Bain said so.

"what?"

Serena blinked her eyes. What did he say to steal Bruce Wayne?

"We need Bruce Wayne's fingerprints."

"What do you want this thing for?"

Originally, there was a taboo in the thief business, that is, no matter what the employer asks you to steal, you can't ask the reason behind it.

Whether you accept this order or not is up to you.

But Serena's situation is different now.

If she dared not take this order, Bain and the Penguins would never let her leave alive.

So, even if she asks questions that she shouldn't ask, Serena wants to be a ghost.

"This doesn't seem to be the question you should ask, little cat."

The Penguin kept an enthusiastic businessman smile, reminding Serena not to be troublesome.

"It doesn't have to be so harsh, my friend."

Bain actually shook his hand at the Penguin, and he looked at Serena with a deep gaze.

"Miss Kyle, I need Bruce's fingerprints to accomplish a great cause."

"You don't need to know exactly what it does now. When you succeed, all of us will be able to witness that great moment."

Bain opened his hands to show that he had a huge blueprint.

"What great cause needs fingerprints. Do you want to eliminate the Wayne family?"

"No, I want this city to usher in a new life!"

Baine walked to the window and opened his hands to the outside, as if intoxicated by some imagination.

Serena was naturally 10,000 unbelieving about this rhetoric, but she had nothing to do.

Continue to ask that is the real death-seeking.

Copper sneered in his heart, why did he say so nicely?

Did Gotham regain his life?

Isn't it all for money?

The Penguins knew that Bain had been recruiting and training all kinds of homeless people secretly, and there should have been thousands of people so far.

Bain is secretly forming an army.

Although the Penguin didn't know what Bain wanted to do, he was not afraid of Bain.

Regarding the private army, the Penguin really hadn't been afraid of anyone.

The Penguin can tell that Bain has absolutely no interest in running a black industry.

This also means that there is no direct conflict of interest between him and Bain, so they have a prerequisite for cooperation.

Setting up an army is not a simple matter, the most important thing is to spend money.

Bain needs a lot of small and medium-sized weapons. Not only that, he needs to eat thousands of mouths, and all of them need money to go in.

What can you do with Bruce Wayne's fingerprints?

Copper was like a mirror in his heart.

The wealthiest company in Gotham is Wayne Enterprises.

And Bruce owns the largest number of Wayne corporate stocks.

As long as they have Bruce's fingerprints, they can easily transfer Bruce's stock to themselves.

Of course, there are also penguins, and he knows how rich Wayne is better than anyone else.

"I have a condition. If you can't agree, I won't help you even if I die."

Serena said suddenly.

"Please tell, Miss Kyle."

Bain generously asked her to make requests, and it was never a bad thing to have conditions.

"I want to find Daggett to settle the old accounts first."
