Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
43. Robinson Park

Queen Elizabeth is expected to stay in Gotham for five days, and yesterday's banquet was her first.

The rest of the day is scheduled for Queen Elizabeth to visit Gotham's famous sites and monuments one by one.

After all, the Queen is a queen, her guide is a high-ranking official, the Mayor of Gotham.

Led by the Mayor, Queen Elizabeth visits the Wayne Memorial, the Knight's Dome Sports Complex, the Statue of Justice, Cathedral Square…

Almost all of Gotham's monuments have been visited.

These past few days have been incredibly lonely in Gotham. The Phantom Kid only caused hype but never showed up.

Most people think that the Phantom Kid mostly gave up on the idea of stealing pomegranate stones. After all, the necklace of the Queen of England was not that easy to obtain.

Even if he managed to steal it, it was not a good thing.

The Tamil Ruby Necklace was a treasure that could not be sold, and anyone who bought it would face hostility from all over England.

The slightest misstep can trigger a massive war.

Even a Yakuza emperor from Oyabun would not dare to bear such an outcome.

And anyone with an average IQ would not believe that someone would actually steal a Tamil Ruby.

Frankly speaking, sending a letter threatening His Majesty with some sort of murder would be much more credible instead …

Unfortunately, thoughts like the Phantom Kid were not meant to be understood by normal people.

At least, a small group of agents, including Gordon, Starling, and Bob, do not believe that the Phantom Kid will stop its operations.

From the first day of the party, when some of them discussed the contents of the teaser letter, they did not discuss the matter anymore for the remaining days.

However, Bob and Starling had quite confident expressions on their faces and it seemed like they should have deciphered a bit of information.

Gordon, on the other hand, analyzed it relatively in-depth, one cannot tell how much information he outlined so far.

Only Johnny, Agent Bean, is quiet enough on the surface as if he has it all under control, and yet, he is the most confused person out there.

Tucker, on the other hand, had been able to bring out some useful information based on the names of the Round Table Knights and their biographies, but unfortunately, they could not be put together to form a valid answer.

In Tucker's mind, even he had deciphered a bit of information, so Johny must have deciphered the entire teaser letter a long time ago. As for the reason he didn't say anything was because, first, he didn't know who the Phantom Kid was in disguise.

Second, to test its ability, «Agen English would definitely want me to solve the puzzle itself...must be so!».

Tucker thought so…

Time had passed quickly and they were approaching the last day.

Over the past few days, Barbara has been dragging Mathison to the Queen for various reasons.

Incidentally, he introduced her to a number of luxurious places that he had never visited before, such as the Knight Dome Sports Complex.

Mathison is not interested in sporting events and never feels the need to visit such places.

According to plans announced today, Queen Elizabeth will head to Robinson Central Park for the final stop, before heading to the airport to end her visit.

And there will be live broadcasts of helicopters from the air throughout their journey.

Robinson Park is a major landmark that has existed since the founding of Gotham and has expanded over the centuries.

Even Gotham City has dedicated the park area to the development of this legendary monument.

"Your Majesty won't be here until after dark, what are you dragging me here now?"

Inside Robinson Central Park, Mathison grumbled with a bored expression on her face as she followed behind Barbara.

"It's a nice place, why don't we go shopping first, before the Queen comes?"

Hearing her voice, Barbara immediately turned around and shot Mathison with a dangerous look.

”Ahahaha, you know, look for fresh air is also good.”, Mathison pretends to laugh.

At her dry laughter, Barbara simply regained her happy smile and continued walking forward.

«The longer I've known Barbara, the more I think she's increasingly unlike Oracle in the original storyline... I don't know if it's just me.»

Technically, the park not only covers a large area, but the scenery is also quite good, and the Fingal and Splendor rivers have streams flowing through the park.

An established ecosystem is formed, with abundant vegetation and an environment that cannot be beat.

After all, even Gotham's environmental villain, Poison Ivy, loved it, so it was clear how good Robinson Park was.

The best part is that Robinson Park is open to the public all day long. You don't have to buy a ticket to visit it. This is the perfect travel destination.

But …

Mathison comes to this place at least three times a month!

After more than a decade, he could explore the entire park with his eyes closed without even hitting a tree.

No matter how beautiful the scene was, he already felt enough.

Barbara can't get bored, she drags Mathison here two or three times every month.

Only on the last chance did Mathison come here of her own accord.

He had no idea why Barbara liked him so much here and also did not want to go for a walk. Wouldn't it be better to go to the beach to see women in bikinis?

But she can't resist Barbara and has to come along.

Whenever she asked Barbara what she really liked about this ugly garden, she always laughed and said nothing.

«Forget it, after all, I always come here, just to see if my previous layout here went well ..»

“In hindsight, it was almost time to use that secret weapon.”

Mathison thought grimly and quickly followed the distant figure of Barbara.

So, they both spend the day wandering around the park, with Barbara unaware that Mathison has finished confirming all her arrangements.

By nightfall, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth is about to arrive.

At this time, Mathison only visited two-thirds of the park.

And for the sake of seeing clearly how big Robinson Park was, they both came here at eight in the morning.

The Queen, of course, has no time to wander around, she is here for only one purpose: that of being located in the heart of Robinson Central Park.

Big statue of Gotham's first mayor, the man who founded Robinson Park!

It is the most monumental site in Gotham.

If the Phantom Kid wants to make a move, this and the airport are two places to do it. So that; Gordon concentrated all the police forces scattered all over Gotham district here.

Full escort for the Queen.

Only the highway from City Hall to Robinson Park was filled with police cars, with 10,000 or more GCPD officers deployed.

The GCPD police car configuration was built from two officers per car, so there were more than 5,000 cars whizzing on the road with sirens roaring nonstop.

There were even a dozen police helicopters hovering in the sky.

Gordon exerted all the power he could.

Those who did not know what was going on might think that a war was going on after seeing this scene.

Amidst countless black-and-white police cars, over twenty black-and-black cars were parked. This is the Queen's personal royal bodyguard, with Her Majesty sitting in a bulletproof car in the middle.

"Where's Charles, hasn't he left yet?"

On her luxurious seat, the Queen asked in a dissatisfied manner.

The servant by his side replied, "Your Majesty, we have contacted His Royal Highness Prince Charles, and His Majesty said that he remembers the time and will not be late."

Hearing these words, the Queen nodded, and her face looked much better.

Although the Queen had stopped attending the banquet lately, Prince Charles had been invited to the banquet almost every night and had even drunk a lot of wine last night.

This made the Queen very unhappy ...
