Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
83. Five Million?

"So, the person you like is Phantom Kid?"

After helping Mathison clean up, Barbara asked firmly.

Before getting along, Pamela had told Barbara her story. Barbara naturally knew who the person who saved Pamela from the bottomless pit.

“Nak, hmm.. he rarely does anything this good.”

Seeing Pamela's lonely expression, Barbara felt a little sympathy for him.

He's not the same as the group of fans who love Kid. He is caught in a web of love. This is an emotion that only a woman can understand.

“Nobody knows the true nature of the Phantom Kid. Plus, he was a very cunning person, and it was very difficult to meet him. Falling in love with such a person, you must be very sad.”

“Actually it's okay, at least I don't regret my choice.”

Pamela put away her low mood and said with a strong smile.

"If you ask me, the thief who stole your heart must take responsibility for it .. But he must realize first that his actions are the wrong way to bring justice."

Barbara clenched her fists and said.

"I don't think that Phantom Kid's justice is flawed."

Pamela replied with a frown as soon as Barbara finished her sentence.

“Ahem... I think this topic is a bit too heavy, we better change it.”

Mathison coughed lightly, trying to stop the two women from continuing their discussion further.

"That's right, talking to you guys about this is definitely affecting your mood, sorry."

Pamela said apologetically.

“Don't say that, Pamela. I'm the one who shouldn't bring up this topic.”

Then, the three of them finished their lunch in silence.

“Cafeteria at NYU is not bad, right, just a little more expensive than the one at Gotham University.”

Pamela commented with a smile.

"Well, but the cheeseburger patty is also a little thicker than at Gotham University."

Barbara nodded, then turned to Pamela after glancing at Mathison excitedly.

“You should try Mathison's cooking. She is the best at making Chinese food, and many times I think there is no food in this world that is better than what she cooks.”

"Is that so? I'll have to give it a try if I have the chance, assuming that Mathison is willing to cook for a woman other than you.

Pamela was astonished, in America, it was a miracle to find a young man who could cook. In fact, girls cook more, but sometimes they prefer to order pizza or go to fast food restaurants.

“Pamela!!”

Barbara interrupted with a red face, and while Pamela looked at him, she could not help but laugh.

"Hey, Barbara, you're too shy, that's not what an American girl should do."

Pamela looked at Barbara with a gaze as if telling her that she should be more competitive.

“We have a long day ahead of us, shouldn't we think about where to go?”

Barbara ignored Pamela's appearance and changed the subject.

"Mathison, what do you think, don't always sit there speechless"

“I think it's okay. We were only in New York once in a while, we had to really have fun. It's just that we can't afford to spend too much. ”

Mathison agrees.

“Alright, then let me, as a schoolmate, be your guide.”

Pamela lifted the red hair around her ears and said.

So, under Pamela's guidance, the three of them took a walk in many places on Manhattan Island, such as the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Broadway, the Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Modern Art, and so on.

In fact, Mathison had long walked past him.

Pamela cares deeply for her hometown students, choosing the location of all the famous attractions, while the cost is not even high, or sometimes even free.

And, nightfall.

The place chosen was in Queens, a very famous steakhouse, and it was very affordable.

After dinner, Pamela wants to go straight back to school, but Barbara feels a little overwhelmed.

The same goes for Mathison, except that she keeps her mouth shut.

With the company of two beautiful women, any activity you do will make you feel comfortable.

“Not far from here is Roosevelt Island. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park is a great place, just right for the night breeze.”

Pamela said after thinking about nearby tourist attractions.

“Let's go there for a walk, and then go back to school after that, when it's time for Mathison to go les.”

It is rather interesting to think that Pamela will remember the time Mathison mentioned earlier

“Well, it's still about two hours away, so you have to be on time, right?”

Barbara asked, looking at Mathison.

"Don't worry, there's still plenty of time."

Mathison gestured to him to calm his mind.

Then, several people walked towards Roosevelt Park.

Roosevelt Island is an important location connecting Manhattan Island, Queens, and Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park. It is located at the southern end of this long narrow island.

All three, including Mathison, walk down the street and pass through the subway station.

About a mile further would take them to the garden gate.

The somewhat odd point is that this point is not too late, but there is basically no one on the road, and the further you get to the park, the clearer it becomes.

Just as she was about to reach the garden gate, Pamela suddenly paused for a moment before continuing, and her steps felt even faster than before.

“Pamela, are you not feeling well?”

Barbara asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, don't worry."

Pamela smiled gently as she told Barbara.

Only Mathison notices that Pamela's face becomes very dark and ugly for a moment, but quickly returns to normal.

Mathison's eyes narrowed a little. He knew that things were not as simple as Barabara thought.

She did not feel any hatred in Pamela's body, indicating that the hostility she had unconsciously let out just now was not directed at her or Barbara.

Then because who?

Thinking of the absence of the strange people near Roosevelt Park again, Mathison raised her vigilance.

Especially when they see the sign “construction in front, forbidden to enter” installed at the entrance of the park, things become more interesting.

“Is there a rule prohibiting visitors from entering the park during construction?”

At this moment, Barbara also felt that something was wrong.

In addition, no sound of construction came from the park.

“Pamela, Mathison, it looks like we're out of luck, why don't you guys go first? I'll just take a walk around Roosevelt Island alone, you all have your own affairs, no need to accompany me along. ”

Mathison grabbed Barbara's hand and smiled, "Since we're all here, it's better to move along."

Pamela: “...”

“Don't run! Stop that!"

Suddenly, a scream came out from the park.

Mathison and Barbara looked at each other and quietly rushed in at the same time.

Then, they saw a black-clothed man running towards here at high speed, holding a sharp weapon in his hand.

And behind the black-clothed man were three men in green suits chasing.

Mathison recognizes them, the same person who ran out of Mo's dojo that day.

"Those in front, catch the man in black, you can get five million!
