Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
23. Second Mission Prize

”I'll take Cat's Eye Emerald. After all, this necklace is my gift to Miss Kyle for being the first person to find me, from Phantom Kid.”

After reading the contents of the card, Gordon clenched his hand.

Within minutes, a message came from the helicopter squad saying that a man suddenly appeared on the beach in clothes that fit Kid's features, the man jumped into the sea after appearing and then disappeared.

Three helicopters patrol the sea, and since Kid doesn't carry diving gear, it would theoretically not be long before he would have to surface to replace the air, but in reality, he didn't.

Maneuvering around, the maintenance crew also repaired the wiring and restored lighting systems.

The neighborhood is around as bright as day.

It was just that everything had been returned late, after everything was over.

Twice in a row, the entire GCPD crew has been played by the Phantom Kid, and Gordon feels a deep sense of helplessness.

Yes, compared to killing, stealing is not a very bad crime, unless it is a state secret.

However, the rampant actions of the Phantom Kid have increased the nature of crime indefinitely. Because its charisma is so terrible that, once people begin to pursue it as criminals, the social order is severely disrupted.

”It's really Catwoman. Even though Phantom Kid ran away, it's always nice to catch other fugitive thieves.”.

Aaron is not as frustrated as Gordon and smiles happily as he confirms Serena's identity.

"Aaron, finish the team."

Gordon walked out of the room without looking back, looking sad and disappointed.

She knew that in a few days Catwoman would be out of jail again, or redeemed by some unknown wealthy owner.

In short, Gotham has no idea how many criminals lurking underground need the presence of people like Catwoman to help them complete their embarrassing business.

Only, Gordon knew in his heart that he could not reveal this kind of thing in public.

Because eight years ago, this crime had come to light, and he had spent so many years hiding so many chaotic things into the ground, he said, so he would rather let them stay buried in the earth forever.

Meanwhile, after jumping into the sea, Mathison dives under the current into the Gotham River to reach the location of a hidden yacht.

For nearly an hour, Mathison didn't even get her head out of the sea.

Not because he could actually hold his breath for that long, but because he was relying on the second magical talisman he made.

This magic charm is designed to give a person the ability to breathe underwater for a short time, one of Buff's few spells in red magic.

Once on the cruise ship, he immediately changed the clothes he had prepared and then headed to the Merchant River valley.

Over the next few hours, the GCPD will inevitably seek itself out with all its might on Downtown Island, and it is not safe to stop at the Gotham River.

Some time later, the yacht stopped somewhere on the Merchant River, near Gotham's Old City, which is far from the Edinburgh district, where the GCPD headquarters are located.

Mathison is in no hurry to return, not forgetting that there is a young oracle lying inside the cabin.

From deck to cabin, there's Barbara, asleep.

It had only been a few hours since Barbara was stunned, and Mathison was completely convinced of her ability to control the amount of medicine she was using.

It took about ten more minutes for Barbara to wake up.

"It's really thanks to you this time, Barbara."

Mathison walked towards the sleeping Barbara and gently stroked her hair.

After spending years with Barbara, and becoming a charming beautiful woman, will Mathison become human if she doesn't have sexy thoughts?

In addition, Barbara has always been a lonely odd man among her classmates since she was a child, and her only partner is Mathison, and possibly her brother James **.

Perhaps they are trying to avoid attention or drama, but for various reasons, the two have not become an official couple.

This, of course, has to do with Mathison's early ambitions, to become Gotham's top thief, but that's not the point.

This really isn't.

After a few minutes of admiring Barbara's dozing face, Mathison estimated that it was time she got up and slipped the card into Barbara's hand before turning around to leave.

Driving a cruise ship near the GCPD, Mathison abandons the ship and disappears into the darkness.

Right after Mathison left, Barbara opened her eyes for a moment and sat down.

The clothes he was wearing were no longer his real clothes, but it was the one he cared about the most.

There was only an inexplicable glint in Barbara's eyes as she stared at the card in her hand with the Phantom Kid's head on it.

”Beautiful Miss Gordon, I'm sorry for borrowing your clothes without your consent, so I've compensated you with new clothes that I hope you will enjoy. Sincerely yours, Phantom Kid.”

Back at the Phantom Kid fortress, Mathison changed into normal clothes and walked into the basement.

"It's time to check out the reward system this time."

He opened the system and checked the panel.

Sure enough, that little exclamation mark appeared again in the host section.

Press to see…

Stolen Treasure: The Emerald of Cat Eyes

Treasure value: C

Difficulty: moderate

Rank of Greatness: B 

        Special Note – using transcendent capabilities will result in an improved beauty rating scale

Reading this, Mathison frowned, but when she thought about it, it wasn't hard to finish.

As a simple example, both magic tricks and red magic can achieve amazing effects, but magic tricks obviously cannot match the convenience of red magic.

After all, red magic did not require a lot of props and sufficient preparation.

The visual experience is also very different.

Therefore, both methods must necessarily be accompanied by different evaluation systems. While enjoying the convenience of red magic and being able to complete tasks more easily, the corresponding requirements would also be slightly higher.

So, if he wanted to raise his grandeur rank, he also must not use his transcendent abilities and rely on his intelligence and intelligence to win or continue to use his extraordinary abilities, either, but he needs to attract more people.

After processing this idea, Mathison had some viable solutions in mind, she even thought that she could use different things depending on the actual situation.

Move on to the long-awaited system reward.

Final Stage: B

Reward: All Carlos combat experience.

”Carlos: from the world of 'Wanted Order', an existence regarded as the king of assassins, mastering countless supernatural shooting skills techniques, with its strongest ability being 'Mount time'."

"His reward covers what Carlos has learned throughout his life, including Bullet time, and is given to the host in memory inheritance mode, so you can master it without practice!"
