Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
126. New Gift

"Have you that Iron Man challenged the Phantom Kid last night?" 

Gwen suddenly asked. 

"Huh? Yes sure. Why are you asking this?” 

Peter was surprised, then nodded. 

“You usually really like Iron Man, I thought you were going to Stark Expo.” 

Gwen smiled at Peter. 

“Actually, I want to go to the exhibition, but my father does not allow me to go.” 

After saying this, Gwen pursed her mouth and looked extremely dissatisfied. 

“Eh?” 

At Gwen's reaction, Peter was shocked. 

"Do you like Iron Man too?" 

Peter asked excitedly. 

"Not really." 

Gween shook his head. 

"Are you a fan of Batman?" 

Peter wonders, there are only two heroes that New Yorkers admire the most: one is Captain America, who has been dead for years, and the other is Iron Man. 

In fact, Tony was already very popular among New Yorkers before becoming Iron Man. 

As for the street guards, like Daredevil. Basically, they do not reach the public eye. 

New Yorkers who love Batman, who has been missing for eight years, are not absent, but they are generally very old. 

The most familiar to children is Captain America, whose influence has spread to every corner of the United States and never waned after so many years. 

Many of Captain America's videos in the past have now become standard equipment for school education and are well-liked by children. 

They swore that they would never forget Captain America for the rest of their lives. 

Especially when students are detained in class… 

In short, Peter takes it for granted that Gwen wants a particular superhero. 

After all, these elementary school students were unlikely to be interested in science and technology exhibits. 

However, Gwen still shook her head. In fact, he didn't even know that Batman existed in the world before, because George would never tell his heroic story. 

"I want to meet Phantom Kid." 

Gwen smiled brightly at Peter. 

“A... what?” 

Peter stuttered, he could not believe what he had just heard. 

If he remembers correctly, Gwen's father is the head of the NYPD, right? How could he admire a thief? 

“So, you ... you want to catch Phantom Kid ... right?” 

Peter laughed and tried to understand what he was hearing. 

"If Mr. Stacey finds out, he'll be very happy." 

“Why do I want to catch Phantom Kid? He's not a bad guy.” 

Gwen's big smart eyes looked at Peter, who inevitably stared back at her blankly. 

"But he is .. a thief ..." 

Peter's voice is getting lower, but he doesn't know for sure if the Phantom Kid is the bad guy. 

The morality that Aunt May taught her made her very sure that the man was a bad person. However, the one who saved him yesterday was the Phantom Kid. 

Peter must admit that Kid has a good heart and a handsome appearance. It's hard for people to hate people like that. 

“Didn't in the end all the items stolen by the Phantom Kid be returned to others? Even if some of them have not been returned, the money generated on their behalf is donated. Besides, he never hurt anyone else. Isn't such a thief a good person?” 

Gwen furrowed her beautiful brows. He did not like Peter's initial comment. And for that, he was as calm as his father. 

“Eh 

Seeing Gwen frowning, Peter immediately gave up, agreeing with Gwen's point of view. 

"I made a decision!" 

Gwen suddenly clenched her fists and said excitedly. 

Peter was about to say that he had joined the Iron Man fan club, but looked at the small fist Gwen held tightly...

Peter finally nodded with great sincerity. 

«There is no rule prohibiting someone from joining more than one fan club only.» 

Peter thought in his mind. 

In fact, Gwen was very weak and could not threaten Peter. 

But no one knows why, at the time, Peter seemed to imagine seeing Aunt May appear instead of Gwen, urging her to immediately agree to Gwen's request… 

In a rented house in Chinatown Manhattan. 

Mathison and Charlie looked at each other and nodded in unison. 

Mathison took out a rectangular mashed potato and ate it in three or two bites.

Charlie takes off the bow tie voice changer and throws it aside, then starts barking at Mathison. 

Mathison: “...” 

Seeing that Mathison didn't even blink, Charlie put on the bow again and asked curiously. 

"Well, did you get it?"

Mathison: “...” 

Slowly Charlie felt that the atmosphere was not right.

“Do you understand what I just had? In other words, it works correctly..” 

Mathison: “...” 

Charlie's forehead was dripping with cold sweat.

After staring at Charlie for a long time, Mathison finally retracted her gaze. 

"Charlie, how about a dog fondue tonight?" 

Charlie: "!" 

"I'm warning you not to go too far, I'll report your dog's abusive behavior ..." 

Mathison narrowed her eyes, "You remember it well again."

Charlie swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and he was now very confident that Mathison must have understood his bark by now. 

It was really very evil, allowing humans to communicate with dogs unhindered. 

What happened now also began after Mathison crippled Ivan. 

Mathison quickly leaves the exposition after she is released from her rampaging state, and returns to Chinatown after touring dozens of blocks in various costumes. 

Then came the usual gift.

 “Stolen Treasure: Mount Cahaya” 

“Hare Value: A” 

“Difficulty: Hard” 

“Addiction: Exercise A/Official C – Combined B” 

This time, the level of beauty had undergone a great change from the past. After all, from the previous practice phase to the official action scene, the risk of the subsequent action had increased many times. 

It is difficult to guarantee the prowess of the exercise, so it is a reasonable model to calculate each phase separately and then integrate them together. 

“Final Rank: A” 

“Gift: Konjak” Translation 

“Translated: From the world of “Doraemon”, this is a universal translation artifact. When using it, you only need to eat it in front of the target to get the effect. It allows users to understand anyone, whether they are inhabitants of Earth or any other species in the universe, such as aliens. This allows them to communicate with each other normally. Note that the effect is not only effective for the language but also for other sounds.”

Goody! 

Seeing this gift, Mathison did not know what to say. 

This tool was a double-edged sword; it was useful, but at the same time weak! 

There is an 80% chance that Mathison will follow in the footsteps of Star Lord in the future and go to another planet to promote Earth art. But instead of promoting the dance, as did Star Lord, Mathison chose magic. 

At that time, the Konjak Translation will be very useful. 

But the reason for this is weak… 

Isn't the lingua franca of the American comics/movies world just English?
