Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
136. Iron Strike Skye's

“You're not... you're in love, right?”

Seeing Barbara's silence, Mathison came to her ear and whispered. 

"You talk to your girlfriend every night, right?" 

"What are you saying!" 

Barbara suddenly pushed Mathison away with a black face. This man did not do what he did, how could he enjoy love?

"You can eat rice, but you can't talk nonsense, how can you say that, Mathison!" 

Barbara was very angry. Mathison really doubted her feelings? 

"What should you hide from me?" 

Mathison's tone suddenly calmed down, and she looked at Barbara's face indifferently. 

“We are childhood lovers who grew up together, right, shouldn't we be honest with each other?” 

"In Gotham, not only did you not hide your plans to capture the Phantom Kid, you even dragged me along." 

"Why are you hiding everything from me now?" 

Barbara's eyes darkened as Mathison said this. 

Yeah, why would he hide it from Mathison? 

This obviously made him think he didn't believe her. 

But Barbara still doesn't want Mathison in danger. 

If he were to inform Mathison of the High Tide Organization's whereabouts, he would probably prevent her from pursuing him alone. 

“Actually it's nothing, I just.just practice the new code, what Pamela sees is the way I type the code.” 

Barbara still wants to fool him.

Mathison shook her head. This girl is usually smart and capable, but can't even lie completely in front of her. 

“Barbara, I know you as you know yourself. Actually, I can guess that you must be thinking about your superhero game.” 

“New York is not like Gotham. There are many unnamed street cops here, but Gotham only has Batman 

Mathison leaned closer to Barbara again, her eyes as if looking at everything through her. 

"Did you find any strange signs?" 

"Sorry, Mathison, I shouldn't have kept this a secret from you, but it's my own business and I can handle it myself." 

Barbara took a deep breath and wanted to turn around and escape. 

Who knows, Mathison pulls him from behind, and under the action of coercing each other, Barbara's body lands on Mathison's chest. 

Feeling the warmth behind it, Barbara's face flushed for a moment. 

"Hey, Mathison .. you, what do you want to do?" 

"I, I, I, I'll sue you for sexual harassment." 

Mathison simply smiled in response. She lifted Barbara's hair and placed her chin on Barbara's shoulder. 

“What does Mathison mean by this action? He likes me a lot, right! But why doesn't he keep telling me” 

Barbara couldn't help but think about it. 

Will his wish for many years finally be fulfilled today? 

"Barbara, tell me what problem you're having, maybe you need my help." 

Why was Mathison so anxious to contact the Rising Tide organization? 

Worrying about Barbara is just one reason. He believed that the oracle could not defeat the tide. 

More important is the information in the hands of the rising tide organization! 

What Mathison lacked the most right now was not strength. After all, he could earn rewards by stealing treasures, and it was not difficult to increase his combat power. 

The biggest problem was the location of the treasure, what treasure he stole, and how to judge how valuable the treasure was. 

Ask about related legends? 

Going to the black market to buy intelligence? 

The cost is not worth it. 

Now Mathison's been underestimating stealing the average treasure.

Valuable treasures were relatively easy to obtain during this time in New York. He only knew outer space gems and spiritual gems. 

When the two appeared, it was then that the Chitauri army attacked New York. 

During this long period of time, Mathison is ready to make the Phantom Kid disappear for a while. 

Then, the tide organization entered Mathison's line of sight. 

This hacker organization that likes to die and collect various secrets in the world and plans to publish it. 

Naturally, they would not miss the legendary magical treasures. 

As long as he destroyed the tidal or disguised organization, he could easily obtain this information

With Barbara's help, she didn't even need too much manipulation. 

This actually saves the cost of intelligence gathering by Mathison. Isn't that a good thing? 

To be honest, SHIELD was the best source of intelligence, but it was a pity that Mathison had no possibility of joining them. 

Maybe Mathison's persistence moved Barbara, or for some other reason. 

Barbara finally admits to Mathison her plans to break into the Rising Tide organization. 

It turns out Barbara wasn't a full member of Rising Tide. 

Although her hacking ability was recognized, of course this was not Barbara's full level. 

However, the Rising Tide group seems to have some doubts about Barbara's virtual identity. 

But they shouldn't have found any real evidence, otherwise they would have cut off all contact with Barbara. 

In short, with Barbara's unrelenting efforts, she finally gained the trust of the tidal organization. 

He only needed to pass the final exam, he could become a full member of the Rising Tide organization, some levels better than the outside cannon fodder. 

"Last test, where, what do they want you to do?" 

Mathison asked curiously. 

"I don't know," Barbara shook her head. "They told me to wait for someone on the side of the road in the suburbs tomorrow night." 

“As for who this person is, what he is like and how to contact him, they do not tell me.” 

interesting though. 

Waiting for someone on the highway means that the person is coming by car. If he were to take someone else's car, it would undoubtedly increase the chances of his exposure. 

Mathison was curious about what kind of person the Rising Tide organization would send to test Barbara. 

The following afternoon, Barbara came to the road determined by the high tide organization as scheduled. 

They chose a good location, and it was almost impossible for anyone to come at this moment. 

The surrounding environment was not hindered, and others could not be hidden. 

Mathison didn't follow Barbara. After all, the only person the High Tide Organization would test was Barbara. 

At this time, Mathison hid on a hillside thousands of meters from the highway, observing the situation through binoculars and eavesdroppers. 

That's right, Mathison put a bug in Barbara's body, and it's made of a special material to protect the signal from commonly used detection devices. 

It didn't take long for a modified van to drive from a distance. 

Barbara's eyes solidified, and she would eventually meet people from the tidal organization. 

Along with a loud brake sound, the van stopped in front of Barbara. 

Then, a young girl of Barbara's age opened the door and got out of the car. 

“Hai, are you Barbara Gunnhild? I'm Skye.” 

The girl who called herself Skye walked over to Barbara and extended her hand to her with a smile...
