Phantom Kid in the American Comic World

"Q, L, G, B, M, K. The teaser letter highlights these six letters, and I think the key to solving them lies here" Eggy said.

“Do you still need to say this? So clear that no one could miss it, the question is how to break it!”, Roxy rolled her eyes at him.

“I just haven't thought about it, doesn't mean I don't know what it means. Forget me and talk about yourself, have you solved it?”, Eggsy challenged.

"Stop fighting over this stupid matter.", At this moment, the middle-aged man interrupted the two with a soft voice, his voice was very gentle and charismatic, expressing a sense of authority.

"Harry, what do you think?", Eggsy asked. 

   He and Roxy are agents of the same training program and are close to each other. So, obviously, they wouldn't fight over a small thing.

The middle-aged man, also known as Harry, who is Eggsy's mentor, is also the Kingsman's strongest agent.

“I have some leads, but I haven't really revealed the whole letter. I want to hear what you two are thinking first.”

Judging from the quality and achievements of the agents, Roxy is undoubtedly much more qualified than Eggsy, especially in terms of knowledge, the gap between the two is very clear.

After all, before becoming an agent, Eggsy was just a punk who never went to school. It was all thanks to Harry to find him, train him, and teach him. Otherwise, He would not even be able to read what was written in the teaser letter.

So, Roxy took the lead and spoke up, “I investigated that, until now, the Phantom Kid had done a total of two cases, which means there were two teaser letters sent.”

”Maybe for his debut, the first teaser letter contains no puzzles to solve. That's relatively easy. Until the second letter he began to compile this puzzle in a confusing way.”

"Through the content of the second letter, it is foreseeable for now that the Phantom Kid likes to use Greek mythology content to create puzzles."

Hearing this, Harry shook his head. Roxy is really going in the wrong direction.

”So, my guess is that L stands for 'Ladon' who keeps the golden apple, G stands for 'Gallitus,' B may be short for 'Briseis,' and according to MI is 'Minotaur'.”.

”For K and Q, I have not found any correspondence with them. I think they can only be described as 'King' and 'Queen.' I think these two words refer to His Majesty at the same time. ”

Roxy's cheeks flushed slightly and said, “Stay, I don't know how to connect every detail to each other.”

"Pff!" Eggsy could only laugh out loud.

"Isn't that the same as saying nothing?"

"ah! Why did you hit me?”, Roxy pulled her fist and hit Eggsy's chest and said with a cold look, “Now it's your turn.”

"Look at how cruel you are, no wonder no man likes you ..."

Seeing Roxy's hardness, Eggsy hurriedly kept silent and revealed her insight.

"Actually, I think .. we don't have to make an effort to decipher Kid's teaser letter!"

"Oh?"

This statement had aroused Harry's interest, "Why is that?"

"Kingsman has stood for decades and has yet to appear before the world, not even the royal family knows of our whereabouts, hence, no matter how clever the Phantom Kid is, the royal family is not aware of our whereabouts, he can't know that we're here."

”We know that the destination is only for Tamil Ruby necklace. Therefore, we only need to keep an eye on His Majesty. Sooner or later, the Phantom Kid will appear and find we're already there, which is equivalent to us being in the dark and he's in the light.”

"No suspicious person can escape our eyes."

"That's right." Harry agreed.

”When carrying out the mission, the mind should not be rigid. As long as the mission can be completed successfully, it doesn't matter if you use dishonorable means. This method is a bit stupid, but it works efficiently. ”

Roxy hummed, not commenting, but also did not refute.

"It's almost time, let's find our place to stay", Harry looked at his watch and said. 

   The three of them got up and left at the same time.

”Phantom Kid teaser letter has appeared again!”

"Queen Elizabeth has declared war, is the Phantom Kid afraid of defeat?"

GCPD, FBI, CIA, MI7.

”According to rumors, the Secretary of State angrily denounces the actions of the Phantom Kid outside the scope of the theft, and can even be considered an action *******. If necessary, they can send Delta Force!”

"SAS is applying for admission to join the mission, what does this mean?"

On the same day, what happened at the airport has spread across the country. A wide variety of news came out, some exaggerated.

Even SAS and Delta were involved in their stories. This media outlet is really smart.

In Gotham, Bristol, in Wayne Manor, 

“Alfred, what do you see?”, Bruce asked while doing push-ups.

In the past month, he went to the hospital to check his right leg. He found that bone damage was very serious, the joints softened to a negligible level, far beyond healing.

So he put up for himself an outer skeleton of the foot, which gave him normal mobility.

Of course, the exoskeleton also strengthened its kick power several times.

During this time, Bruce often wondered if he should talk to Tony Stark and make himself a set of full-body protectors of the outer skeleton.

But he gave up the idea once he assumed that the Arc Reactor was hard to make.

Tony Stark can create a palm-sized nuclear reactor, while Wayne Enterprises has been working for two full years, however, it can only shrink a nuclear reactor the size of a Bosnian stone ball.

That's right, Stark isn't the only one making mini nuclear fusion reactors, Wayne has invested in a lot of such research.

Wayne's technology is decades behind Stark. To make a small, fairly stable reactor, the slightest mistake that could unintentionally cause it to become a large nuclear bomb.

This was why Bruce could only rely on himself. For now, physical exercise was enough to restore his body functions and fighting skills.

Every day, he does 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10 km long distance run. Moreover, he would not dare to turn on any AC, no matter how hot the weather was ...

Yeah, looks like Bruce's a little dramatic…

However, his master's training was very similar to the one he was doing now. In addition to long-term, he sometimes multiplies by 10 the number of push-ups, sit-ups, and squats…

This made his day so busy that he barely had the time to spare to pay attention to the outside world news, which was certainly his least concern for the past eight years.

Although Bruce hated to admit this, he was already forty years old, and the damage to his body was unavoidable at this moment.

Alfred continued to pay attention to all these details, so, he did not want Bruce to see the news about the Phantom Kid, for fear that one day, Bruce would gather his strength to wear the Batman costume again.

"Only a few trivial things, reporting His Majesty's visit here, as he passed the judgment to Gotham."

Alfred tried to act as naturally as possible
