Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
134. I Need Bruce's Fingerprint

The Iceberg Restaurant Entrance.

Hannibal brought Selina here. 

"Are you sure your friend Bane is here to see us?" 

Selina hesitated to enter. 

In Gotham, ordinary citizens actually do not have to worry when entering places like Iceberg Restaurant.

However, people from the dark world did not dare to just enter without permission. 

Coming here means you are seeking refuge in the Penguin Territory, or you are here to cause trouble.

Moreover, the owner behind the iceberg restaurant, Penguin, is famous for paying very close attention to the rules. 

To be honest, Selina did not want to enter Penguin territory all her life. 

Because the Penguin's power in Gotham's underworld is too great. 

“Hehe, Miss Kyle, Bane is inside now.” 

Hannibal made an invitation signal. 

“Don't worry, Bane and Mr. Cobblepot is also a partner.” 

Selina's eyes condensed for a moment. 

Hannibal is talking about a partner, which means that Bane, whom he has never heard of, can talk to Penguin equally? 

This once again meant that Bane's strength was at least not much worse than that of the Penguins. 

Even Hannibal was willing to join this alliance. 

Two such strong men were united..What are they planning to do?

He was just a petty thief, how could he be liked by them? 

They even sent Hannibal to save him. 

Selina kept thinking. He felt that he might get involved in an unprecedented war. 

Under Hannibal's leadership, no waiter in the restaurant came to stop them, getting to the top floor of the restaurant unhindered. 

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

Only the next second did he realize that Hannibal was not coming out of the elevator with him. 

“Nona Kyle, I've long heard your name. You are a rare talent. ” 

Judging from the appearance of the Penguin, it seemed like he had been waiting for a long time. 

And beside the Penguin, stood a strong man who was no smaller than the Kingpin. 

He was just a little strange; the strong man was wearing a mask that looked like a breathing aid, which covered most of his face. 

Facing Mr. Cobblepot's warm hospitality, Selina assures herself that she cannot suffer. 

"Sir. Cobblepot, it's an honor for me to meet you for the first time.” 

With a fake smile on her face, Selina shook hands with the Penguin. 

“I believe this..” 

"Curse." 

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

His voice had a unique hoarse voice, and it really felt like the person wearing the breathing mask was talking in a friendly manner.

There is an inexplicable attraction that makes people want to listen.

“Nona Kyle, I don't like rambling, I'm calling you to invite you to join us” 

“And your first mission to join us is to steal something.” 

Bane looks like a rather rude man, but his tone is very polite. 

Even though what he said himself was difficult again.

"Before we get there, I want to know why you want me?"

Selina did not agree.

"You're the best thief in Gotham." 

Say Bani with confidence. 

“Maybe I used to, but now I should only be considered second.”

“Target chosen by Phantom Kid is basically a gem, and he will not immediately hand over the stolen goods to us.” 

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

"Most importantly, he's currently operating mainly in New York, and we don't know where to find him."

Bane nodded. 

"Well, then what made you hire an outsider to steal it?" 

There was nothing wrong with this logic, Selina reluctantly accepted it. 

"Fingerprints of Bruce Wayne." 

Bane said so. 

"What?" 

Selina blinked her eyes. «He wants me to steal what Bruce Wayne?» 

"We need Bruce Wayne's fingerprints." 

"What do you want this thing for?" 

Initially, there is a taboo in the business of thieves, that is, whatever the employer asks you to steal, you cannot ask the reason behind it. 

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

But Selina's situation is different now. 

If he did not dare to accept this order, Bane and the Penguin would never let him go alive. 

So, even if she were to ask a question that she shouldn't have asked, Selina at least wanted to die with the full information in peace.

"It doesn't seem like a question you should be asking, little kitten." 

Penguin keeps smiling warm traders and reminds Selina not to be nosy.

“You don't have to be too hard, my friend.” 

Bane actually shook his hand at the Penguin, and then looked at Selina deeply. 

"Miss Kyle, I need Bruce's fingerprints to reach the big goal." 

“You don't need to know exactly what it is now. When you succeed, we will all be able to witness that great moment.” 

Bane opened his hand to show that he had a big blueprint. 

“What a big cause requires fingerprints. Do you want to wipe out the Wayne family?” 

“No, I want to bring new life to this city!”

Bane walked to the window and opened his hands outside as if drunk by imagination. 

Selina naturally did not believe in this rhetoric, but she had no other choice. 

After this answer, continuing to ask it was an actual search for death. 

Cobblepot sneered in his heart, «why is he so emotional?» 

"He wants to bring a new life to Gotham?"

“Isn't it all for money?”

Penguin knows that Bane has been secretly recruiting and training all kinds of homeless people, and so far there should be thousands of people under his wing. 

Bane secretly forms an army. 

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

Regarding private soldiers, Penguin was really not afraid of anyone. 

Penguin can say that Bane has absolutely no interest in running a dark industry. 

This also meant that there was no direct conflict of interest between him and Bane, so they had prerequisites for cooperation. 

Setting up an army is no simple matter; having the right amount of money to spend on them is essential.

Bane needed a large number of small and medium sized weapons. Not only that, he needed to feed thousands of mouths, and all of them needed money to work for him. 

What does Bruce Wayne's fingerprint have to do with this huge investment? 

Cobblepot was clear about everything.

The richest company in Gotham is Wayne Enterprises. 

And Bruce owns the largest number of Wayne Enterprises shares.

As long as they had Bruce's fingerprints, they could easily transfer Bruce's stock to themselves. 

Of course, there's also the Penguin part, he knows how rich Wayne is better than anyone else. 

“I have one condition. If you can't agree to it, then I won't help you even if it means my death.”

Selina said suddenly. 

"Please, speak up, Miss Kyle." 

Bane generously asked him to submit his request; it was never a bad thing to set the conditions. 

“I want to finish my old score with Daggett first.”
