Phantom Thief Kidd in the Comic World

The entrance of Bingshan Restaurant.

Hannibal brings Selina here.

"Are you sure your friend named Bain is here to meet me?"

Serena didn't walk in for a long time.

In Gotham, ordinary citizens actually have nothing to worry about when entering a place like the Iceberg Restaurant.

But people like them in the dark world cannot just walk in without permission.

Either you want to join the Penguin, or you're here to cause trouble.

Especially the boss behind the Iceberg Restaurant, Penguin is famous for paying attention to rules.

To be honest, Serena never wants to step into the Penguin's territory in her life.

Because of the Penguin's intimidating power, the underground world in Gotham is too big.

"Haha, Miss Kyle, Bain stays inside now."

Hannibal made a gesture of invitation.

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

Serena's eyes froze for a moment.

Hannibal was talking about partners, which means that Bane, whom he has never heard of, can talk to Penguin on an equal footing?

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

Even Hannibal was willing to join this alliance.

What do two such powerful figures want to do when they join forces?

How could I, a little thief, be favored by them?

He even did not hesitate to send Hannibal to rescue him.

Serena kept thinking in her mind, 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.

The journey to the top floor of the restaurant was smooth.

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

But the next second she realized that Hannibal did not follow her out of the elevator.

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

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

Next to the Penguin, stood a strong man whose size was no smaller than that of Kingpin.

The only thing that was strange was that this strong man was wearing a respirator-like mask that covered most of his face.

Facing Cobot's warm reception, Serena said she couldn't afford it.

"Mr. Cobot, it's my first time to meet you. It's my honor to meet you."

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

"This must be..."

"Bane."

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

His voice had a unique hoarseness, and it really felt like a person wearing a respirator trying to speak.

There is an inexplicable magnetism that makes people want to listen to it.

"Miss Kyle, I don't like to mince words. I came to you just to invite you to join us."

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

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

Even though what he said was very strong.

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

Serena did not agree directly.

"You're the best thief in Gotham."

Bain said matter-of-factly.

"Maybe it was before, but now I should only be considered second."

"The targets picked by Kaitou Kidd are basically gems, and he may not necessarily hand over the stolen things to us."

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

"The most important thing is that he is currently mainly operating in New York and we don't know where to find him."

Bain nodded.

"In comparison, you are the best choice."

"Okay, so what is it that makes you hire an outsider to steal it?"

There was nothing wrong with this reason, and Serena reluctantly accepted it.

"Bruce Wayne's fingerprints."

Bain said.

"What?"

Serena blinked. What did he say he wanted to steal from Bruce Wayne?

"We need Bruce Wayne's fingerprints."

"What do you want this for?"

Originally, there was a taboo in the thief business: no matter what your employer asked you to steal, you couldn't ask about the reasons behind it.

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

But Serena's situation is different now.

If she dares not to accept this order, Bane and Penguin will never let her leave alive.

So, even if she asked questions she shouldn't ask, Serena wanted to be clear.

"That doesn't seem like the question you should be asking, kitty."

Penguin kept a warm businessman smile and reminded Selina not to be troublesome.

"No need to be so harsh, my friend."

Bain actually waved his hand towards Penguin, and he looked at Serena deeply.

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

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

Bain opened his hands, indicating that he had a huge blueprint.

"What great cause requires the use of fingerprints? Do you want to eliminate the Wayne family?"

"No, I want to bring new life to this city!"

I saw Bain walking to the window and opening his hands outside, as if he was intoxicated in some imagination.

Serena naturally didn't believe this statement, but there was nothing she could do.

If you continue to ask, that is truly seeking death.

Cobot sneered in his heart, why do you say it so nicely?

And bring Gotham back to life?

Isn’t it all about money?

Penguin knows that Bane has been secretly recruiting various homeless people and training them. There should be thousands of them so far.

Bane is secretly raising an army.

Although Penguin doesn't know what Bane wants to do, he is not afraid of Bane.

When it comes to private armies, Penguin really has never been afraid of anyone.

Penguin could see that Bane had no interest in running the 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 large number of small and medium-sized weapons. Not only that, thousands of mouths have to feed, and all of them need money.

What can you do with Bruce Wayne's fingerprints?

Cobot's heart was like a mirror.

The richest company in Gotham is Wayne Enterprises.

And Bruce owns the largest amount of Wayne Enterprises stock.

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

Of course, Penguin is also involved in this. He knows better than anyone how rich Wayne is.

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

Serena said suddenly.

"Please speak, Miss Kyle."

Bain graciously allowed her to make demands, and it was never a bad thing to have conditions.

"I want to go to Daggett to settle old scores first."
