Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
104. Previewing

Tony and Pepper ran out of the field and saw all the spectators staring up at the sky, looking in the same direction in unison.

The two followed their line of sight and stared at the sky above the road in front of the open central exhibition hall. In the middle of the two tall buildings, clouds of smoke appeared at some point, and one could vaguely see the silhouette within.

Kid's voice appeared now, it was clear that he was a silhouette within the smoke.

"Tony, he's really coming."

pepper was surprised.

“Yes, but today is not an agreed date. He came one day early.”

Tony feels a little weird.

“Please forgive me for coming early. Because of Mr.'s challenge. Stark let me off guard, I didn't have time to prepare a teaser letter, which is very disrespectful.”

The smoke quickly disappeared, and the Phantom Kid appeared.

But what was surprising was that he was actually standing in the air!

Without any support, without wings sliding open, the Phantom Kid stood in the sky so straight as if there was an invisible floor under his feet.

But everyone knows that this is not possible at all.

“Ahhhhhhh! The Phantom Child!”

Many people were exclaiming and shouting because Kid showed them such a marvelous miracle.

“So, I came today to let you know that I accepted Lord Stark's challenge. It's not fair if you can't guess my plan without a teaser letter.”

Everyone listened to Phantom Kid slowly speak and said the most arrogant words with the most gentle and polite tone.

“So, in addition to answering Mr challenges. Stark, a small preview can help us well.”

When Director George saw this scene, he suddenly realized that Kid was located in the middle of two tall buildings, and was slightly lower than the two buildings, and suddenly thought of something.

"Phantom Kid, I can see your tricks."

George smiled triumphantly.

"Quickly, send two teams to the roof of each of the two buildings, he must have used a wire to connect the two buildings and then raised himself to the center!"

Immediately, the two police teams he sent there, reported.

“Master, we didn't find anything here. No wires under Kid's feet or on the fence on the roof.”

Perhaps God thought that the reports of both teams did not quite dispel George's trust, so at this moment, a police helicopter was parked right above the Phantom Kid.

A dazzling floodlight shone on the Phantom Kid.

"This is Unit No. 7. No wire found in Phantom Kid's body."

“What, how is this possible?!”

George remained silent.

“Although no one knows if the Phantom Kid can really fly or not, he is our target of life, up there for now.”.

To be honest, George wanted to order everyone to shoot Kid.

He didn't believe that the Phantom Kid was physically immortal, so he wasn't afraid the bullets wouldn't work.

However, Tony Stark's attitude makes George cautious. Although Tony agreed with the police to help him protect the Mountain of Light this time, he put forward a difficult condition.

That is, no matter what happens, these cops can't shoot unless Kid attacks them first.

Simple reason. Tony said that there were a large number of civilians at the exhibition, and it was too dangerous to open fire and accidentally injure ordinary people.

Moreover, Tony was extremely tough; he threatened firmly that whoever dared to shoot first, he would make that person instantly idle.

With the power of Stark Industries, even Director George could lose his job.

Tony's request is legitimate and moral, and George also agrees with Tony's idea, but this does not mean that George does not feel deeply pressured about this.

“Oh, Shit! What am I looking at?”

"Lord, please tell me this is not true!"

"I must be dreaming!"

Just when George was so distressed that he couldn't breathe, the audience was once shocked. And this time, their voices were much louder and more shocking than the last time.

Because, Kid who stood up straight, moved!

The Phantom Kid stepped forward calmly and naturally in the empty air.

When steps are taken, there is actually a "clack" in the sky!

It's not over yet. The footsteps Kid took let out a crisp and familiar sound, no different from walking on the ground normally.

“Hah, everyone, it seems I did not put on a bad show, huh?”

Phantom Kid smiled slightly and said.

“This is definitely the most perfect and most exciting magic show I have ever seen in my life!”

Tens of thousands of viewers spoke in unison.

“I remember, the Phantom Kid had done the same magic before?”

"Really, where this show takes place, why haven't I heard of it?"

Suddenly, many people in the crowd felt that the magic trick Kid did this time was rather familiar.

"It was in Gotham, when Queen Elizabeth visited!"

Finally, someone remembered where they saw this scene.

"That's how the Phantom Kid returned the Tamil Ruby to Her Majesty the Queen."

"This is ... the actual magic show of walking in the air!"

The Phantom Kid looked very relaxed, with his hands in his pockets, he started walking in the air and approached the middle pavilion, step by step.

There were only footsteps from above.

"Tony, do you know how the Phantom Kid can walk in the air?"

Pepper watched the shocking scene, and his small hand could not help but cover his mouth in surprise.

“I don't know, but I think he should have used steel wire or other techniques. Maybe the steel wire is so thin that it is not visible to the naked eye.”

Toni said indifferently.

"Jarvis should have been able to scan directly where the wire was on his body, but I didn't bring it here today."

No matter how powerful artificial intelligence was, it was not an omniscient god. After all, scanning and detection are done by hardware.

“In addition, we don't really want to fight him when we want him to come. Light Mountain is useless to me, and it is fine for me to give it directly to him.”

"I just hope he really knows how to solve the problem of palladium poisoning, as you say."

Tony is telling the truth.

Namun, jika Phantom Kid tidak tahu cara mengobati keracunan paladium, kasusnya tidak akan sama.

"Do we have a choice now but to believe it?"

Pepper desperately said.

"You're right, I don't have a choice."

Toni agrees.
