Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
70. Virtue to the End

On this day, George sent the police early in the morning, waiting outside the Hell Kitchen area.

The NYPD's workforce is assigned by him to hide in various corners of Hell's Kitchen. Therefore, residents of Hell's Kitchen clearly felt the surrounding environment became more crowded.

"Consider all units, please be careful to hide before Wilson's charity gala begins, lest the Phantom Kid find you at the end!"

George hides in an ordinary gray car, to hide his tracks, he doesn't even drive a police car.

“Phantom Kid, you must have thought that your hacker letter has not been solved yet, but here we are waiting for you to appear!”

George thought with confidence.

“Ck, ck, ck, what can be said about New York police forces? They definitely outnumber the GCPD, but unfortunately, the overall quality is worse. ”

At this moment, no police would have thought that the Phantom Kid was pacing before their eyes, overseeing all their arrangements.

Mathison disguises herself as Phineas August. With Phineas's fingerprints affixed to his finger, he walked haughtily down the road to the Wilson Building.

«Phineas August, once the boss of the third largest gang in Hell's Kitchen, is brought in by Kingpin to be revealed to be a loyal dog ten years ago. He could barely contact his original henchmen during this decade and became obedient to the Kingpin. He is now 48 years old, grumpy and arrogant.”

"Sometimes even in front of the Kingpin, he wouldn't hold back his anger, which was brave enough."

"He is known to everyone as the owner of a wallet company under the Wilson Charitable Foundation."

«Interesting, this guy is completely subject to Kingpin, or Kingpin doesn't trust him at all. As long as this guy dares to contact his own minions, I fear he won't live long.”

“But Kingpin also did not treat Phineas badly. He treated her in a special way. Not to mention he asked her to carry out an important task. So Phineas did not think of rebelling against Kingpin...it was really a good tactic.»

«Some time ago, Kingpin talked to Phineas about some business involving weapons smuggling, but Daredevil sabotaged everything ..»

While walking, Mathison recalled in her head the information Daredevil had told her.

But ... such a high-status criminal identity really exists, but does it really qualify Kid to prey on Kingpin's secrets?

Mathison was very doubtful of that. Thinking about it, he arrived at his destination.

"Sir. August."

As Mathison walks to the main entrance of the Wilson building, the security guards immediately recognize her and greet her respectfully, but do not let Mathison in.

"Sir. August, the chairman said that no matter who comes to the charity party, they should show his invitation.”

The security guard said carefully.

As soon as Mathison heard that, an expression of anger flashed across her face.

"How dare you stop me, little henchman?"

The terrified security guard shouted in fear in his heart. He naturally knew how furious this master was, and yet, the Kingpin had given death orders, and he did not dare to violate the Kingpin. 

"Sir. August, of course, I dare not stop you, but the 'chairman' asks ... "

The security guard emphasized on the chairman's word, Mathison immediately understood and issued an invitation. However, his facial expression still did not change at all. It was still filled with unhappiness.

Mathison's fine acting skills soon convince the visitor's identity security guards.

“It's still very early. The charity gala won't start until after dark. You can go to the meeting room first and wait a while, or take a walk around the company. As long as you don't go to a special floor, it's all for your enjoyment. ”

The security guard said to Mathison, with a flattered smile on her face.

“What is the 'chairman' in his office? I want to go and see him first. ”

"Yes yes."

Mathison muttered and stepped in.

A week ago late at night, Mathison had been using ventilation ducts to inspect the structure of the entire building, and she had long simulated and reconstructed it in her mind for some unknown times in the past few days.

So even though this was the first time he had entered this place from the main entrance, Mathison had also gotten used to it. And it was clear to him which path to take.

There are four lifts in the elevator room, but what Mathison wants to take is not one of them.

He walked up to the right wall of the elevator hall and stretched out his index finger to point to somewhere on the wall.

"Identities verified, Phineas August, access granted."

After hearing the woman's mechanical voice, the walls automatically opened to the left and right, revealing a new elevator.

This elevator is dedicated to the Kingpin office, and it is the only one that can reach there.

The elevator can only lead to another floor.

Once inside, the elevator began to rise rapidly and stopped shortly afterwards.

So there is no way to know exactly which floor the Kingpin office is on.

“Pineas? You came back later than expected. ”

Kingpin sat in his chair and said in a calm tone to Mathison who had just entered.

The first time he saw Kingpin's real face, Mathison did not feel any special aura emanating from him.

He looked like an ordinary company boss!

But if anyone really thought so, then he was not far from death.

“Kingpin ..”

Mathison knew very well that if there was the slightest problem with his answer, Kingpin would immediately take action.

“Ugh! Don't mention it, this deal is almost broken!”

Mathison's expression was three-part anger and seven-part dissatisfaction.

"Just as the deal gets done, the man in red appears out of nowhere again and breaks our deal."

“He ruined a quarter of my weapons shipments! I can barely sell it.”

“If it wasn't for the night blindness delaying the entire transaction process, I wouldn't have been able to return to Hell's Kitchen until now.”

Speaking of this, Mathison's face was filled with anger. He angrily waved his hand, approaching to slap the table.

After listening to Mathison's grievances, Kingpin's expression remained unchanged, no one could see what he was thinking.

However, listening to Kingpin repeatedly whisper the name several times reveals that he is not actually a stranger to Daredevil.

In other words, he was an old opponent who had been fighting the Kingpin for several years. They know a lot of information about each other.

Normally, Daredevil would sabotage one of Kingpin's transactions every day, and Kingpin should have gotten used to it.

Even before Mathison came here, there were some handlers who reported that Daredevil had destroyed some of their forts a week ago.

And it just so happened that a week ago Phantom Kid sent out his teaser letter.

If you think about it, the situation is a little special.

Could Phantom Kid and Daredevil have a cooperative relationship?

Or is it a coincidence?

“Phineas, you can go. Daredevil has been assigned someone to deal with, we have to deal with Phantom Kid for now.”

Kingpin raised his eyes to Mathison, looked at her calmly, then said.

After Mathison left the office, Kingpin dialed someone's phone number
