Phantom Thief Kidd in the Comic World

"I think Kaito Kidd may not steal gems for money." Roxie said. "What is the purpose? Stealing the property of the rich to help the poor?" "Do you think Kaito Kidd wants to be Arsene Lupin?" Eggsy asked in surprise, "Well, I admit that his clothes are indeed very similar to Robin, and he did help Pamela's family in the Golden Green Cat's Eye incident." "But, you also said it was the second time, so what about the first Adam's Star?" Hearing this, Roxie was silent for a moment, and then tapped a few times on the keyboard. "After the Adam's Star was stolen, only one piece of information was found, that is, Wilson Fisk in New York bought it, and it was still at a sky-high price of 200 million US dollars." "As for where he bought it from, no one knows, and no one knows how Kaito Kidd sold it to him." Here we have to praise the rules of the Penguin. The confidentiality of the Iceberg Exchange is terrifyingly high. I am afraid that the military's transaction encryption is not as good as his. That's why it can become one of the largest black markets in the United States. Moreover, even if the truth comes out one day, people will only think that there is a secret transaction between Kaito Kidd and Fisk, and will not suspect him.

Earn the difference in price steadily, easily earn tens of millions of dollars every day, and do not need to take any responsibility.

If Penguin had leaked the transaction himself, he would not have gotten any benefit and offended both the buyer and the seller, and it would have led to the exposure of the exchange. Then he would not have been able to achieve what he has today.

Many times, villains are more trustworthy than good people.

It's not because they have good character, but because they can get greater benefits.

Good reputation and bad reputation, all depends on which one can bring greater benefits, and they will choose to preserve which reputation.

This is the wisdom of the Gotham gangster.

As for some people who doubt whether Penguin will take the initiative to expose the transaction situation of customers, I am really worried about their IQ.

He deserves to be a low-level role all his life.

Therefore, no matter how Roxie traces the transaction records, she can't find any information about the Iceberg Exchange.

"Two hundred million!" Eggsy exclaimed, "Selling it at such a high price, and you still say he's not doing it for money?" "Let me ask you, if you suddenly have a huge sum of 200 million US dollars, what would you do?" Roxie asked. "What else would you do? Of course, nothing!" Eggsy said as a matter of course. "Then why did Kaito Kid continue to steal gems?" Eggsy was stunned. "Within half a month after Fisk bought Adam's Star, all the nursing homes, orphanages and schools in Gotham City received anonymous donations one after another, and the total amount added up exceeded 130 million US dollars. The sources of anonymous information were different, from all over the world, but they used the same IP name." "This shows that Kaito Kid is still a good hacker. At least with my technology, I can't find where he is, and I just contacted Merlin, and he can only guarantee that Kaito Kid is in Gotham, and it's not possible to go any further." At this point, Roxie had said everything she wanted to say. "Merlin's hacking skills are already world-class. If even he can't find it, then there are probably few people in the world who can crack it."

In fact, McGison himself is not very good at this, but he has Barbara as his childhood sweetheart. After more than ten years, he has learned a lot from her. Breaking through other people's firewalls may be difficult, but hiding his IP address from others is not a big problem.

Muggison donated so much of the $170 million he got from the Penguin with the Star of Adam, and only kept $30 million for himself after buying the villa. This was a deliberate decision.

The Phantom Thief seems glamorous, unrestrained and uninhibited on the surface, and regards money as dirt, but McGison will know after he really does it that this is really not a comfortable job.

Take the most unrestrained gliding for example. As we all know, Gotham is a coastal city with many inland rivers and a large temperature difference between day and night. To meet the requirements of gliding, it must be at least 40 to 50 meters above the ground.

As the ancients said, it is cold at high places!

Wearing such a thin thief suit in the sky at night, the feeling is really sour and refreshing.

If you don't believe it, try it yourself!

Last time, I swam in the freezing cold sea for more than an hour. I was considered physically strong if I didn't freeze to death.

And the puzzle on the preview letter was figured out after racking my brains for a whole day. I don't know how many brain cells I killed. I might go bald if I continue like this.

There are countless other invisible pains that need to be endured.

And all this is just for those ten minutes or even less than a few minutes of pretending... Bah, to complete a wonderful performance.

It is a real performance at the risk of life. Maggieson knows that the danger level of the American comic world is far from comparable to that of Conan's world. Even the most ordinary policeman, Officer Nakamori will never really shoot Kidd, but Gordon will definitely shoot this criminal who defies the law without hesitation.

Therefore, Maggieson is very cautious and never shows his true identity before causing a commotion. Instead, he often uses a dummy to attract attention.

Equipment and props are Magison's biggest problem. His family is not the Kuroba family. They don't have the wealth accumulated by a world-class magician in half his life. The inheritance left by his predecessor's parents can only guarantee that McGison will not starve to death, and Most of them went to pay the high tuition fees.

If it weren't for the subsidies that orphans receive from the government and the Wayne Charitable Foundation, McGison might not even be able to afford the fabric for Kidd's clothes.

In order not to be caught, Kidd had to rely on McGison to make his own clothes. After all, it was impossible to even buy a piece of white cloth without being suspected, right?

It is worth mentioning that the government subsidy was successfully received with the help of Gordon. Otherwise, if it were other orphans, I'm afraid...

Special playing cards, poker guns, flash bombs, smoke bombs, gunpowder...

He has no power, so it would be great if he could find a way to buy these contraband items, but the price would have to be doubled.

Gotham is a place where everything can turn upside down if you are not careful. How could McGison, who was still a rookie, have the capital to be picky?

The most painful thing is the disguise clothing. All kinds of clothing for men, women, and children must be prepared. High-end suits that cost tens of thousands of dollars a piece, and low-end welfare clothes that cost $9.90 for two pieces. You must reserve one or two. files in case of emergency.

You also have to randomly buy new clothes based on the actual situation, which usually won't be a bargain.

The base camp is in dire need. Hiding things at home is the stupidest thing to do. Thanks to McGison's quick move, otherwise Barbara would have discovered the clues by now.

To sum up, McGison is really poor, otherwise he would never sell the Adam Star no matter what he says. Anyway, the Wayne family has an extraordinary amount of money.

If it didn't have such a small commemorative significance, I would really look down on this ugly thing that has no merit except being big.

This reason is indeed tacky, unqualified, and even inconsistent with the status of a Phantom Thief, but if he didn't do this, McGison wouldn't be able to do this job.

But if you don't do this, you won't get rewards from the system, and you'll lose the only way to become stronger. In this world, you can only leave your destiny to the control of others.

This is something Magison is absolutely unwilling to accept!

But having said that, McGison's conscience was a little painful after all, so he weighed it up and left 30 million US dollars for himself, and used the rest as a donation, which could be regarded as doing something practical.

Time flies by and it’s almost time for the party to begin.

Magison and Barbara were just about to set off.

Along the way, Barbara held onto Magison's hand tightly, as if she was afraid that he would suddenly disappear.

Maggieson couldn't help but shook his head and laughed. Today is not the time to do it by himself. Why are you so nervous?
