Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
9. Second notice!

Wayne Manor, home of Gotham's richest man. The owner was once a super playboy known to everyone, just like Stark in New York City.

   Surprisingly, eight years ago, the super-rich man disappeared from the public. No one knows for sure if he is dead or alive. And if it wasn't for the announcement that Bruce Wayne had been missing for the past seven years, I'm afraid people would have already held his funeral, with his body missing.

Only one person knows what caused Bruce to become like this, and only one person knows that he is not a playboy, but rather Batman who protects Gotham.

"Mr Wayne, are you in the room?"

In a large and luxurious manor, a gray-haired old man dressed like a butler walked into the bedroom with food in his hands and shouted.

“Mr Wayne, you haven't eaten for a few more days. With all due respect, people should not destroy themselves, it is the body that makes one human.”

There was no response after several attempts of persuasion, not even a sound came out.

The old man looked puzzled and stuck his ears on the door to listen, he made sure that there was no one in the bedroom!

But it's clear that Bruce will never be able to get out of his current room, which means…

The face of old butler Alfred reddened with excitement thinking about it, and he hurriedly took out the only spare key he had and unlocked the door. As expected, there was no one inside.

A smile appeared on Alfred's face as he went to the piano and played it casually, and the wall in front of him opened automatically to reveal the elevator behind him.

It was an elevator to the underground bat cave!

"Mr Wayne, it's been too long you've not been here."

Alfred walked to the Batcave to see the ragged-bearded Bruce, watching a video in front of the Batcomputer that was none other than the evil Phantom Kid.

"Alfred, the Star of Adam has been stolen."

"Yes, sir, everyone knows about the Phantom Kid now, except that I'm surprised you actually noticed these things."

"I really don't want to bother with that, but ...... Adam's Star is different."

Bruce's face showed a hint of determination for the first time in a long time, “This is a gem that my father personally bought in the past, and even though it doesn't count as my father's legacy, it does count as my father's, I can't just let it get stolen."

"So, is 'he' coming back?" Alfred suddenly asked.

Bruce was silent for a long time.

    "No…"

At Gotham University, Mathison stays until the end of class, which is almost over.

During the entire class, Mathison notices that Barbara is not taking her eyes off her laptop screen. When the bell rang after class, he picked up the computer and ran out of the classroom aimlessly.

"I wonder what his reaction would be if he found out that I am the Phantom Kid", Mathison thought amusedly.

"It's time to send a second notice."

As for his target, Mathison sees a news report on his phone that "John Daggett, veteran director of Wayne Enterprises, has obtained the emerald Cat's Eye, a priceless gem" and is smiling in mystery.

It's been a week since Adam's Star was stolen. And although the Phantom Kid was still the man of the hour, he would soon be forgotten if his face was hidden too long.

The feeling of being the center of attention as a thief is really addictive, especially the feeling of ignoring the law and easily manipulating the crowd to his own will. Only those who have experienced it will understand.

Not to mention the fact that the only way to get more system rewards is to steal the treasure, and perhaps the more valuable the treasure, the harder it is to steal, and the better the reward.

In the future, there may be many opportunities to claim prizes.

  Thinking about it, if one day Mathison was strong enough, she would be able to sneak into Asgard and steal Gungnir and Infinity Gauntlet from Thanos' hands…

Walking out of school, Mathison runs into an empty alley, disguises herself as a middle-aged white-collar worker with an ordinary face, and then heads for the GCPD.

Inside the Gotham City Police Department, in the Commissioner's office, Gordon pondered with his eyes closed, the sudden appearance of the Phantom Kid had left him in a irritable mood.

That night, the scene in which the Phantom Kid pretends to be Aaron imprint on Gordon's heart. No matter how he thought about it, he did not believe that "Aaron" was fake.

There is no shortage of appearance, voice, or manner of speaking. The Phantom Kid's disguise skill really surprised Gordon and made him feel anxious.

“Master, you've been sitting in your office since last night. Your body will not be able to survive if it continues like this.”

Aaron walks into Gordon's office with a coffee pot, an act he shouldn't have done, but anyone will be fired immediately once they get into his office.

"Aaron, I'm just thinking about a lot of things."

"Child Ghost?"

"It's so thick."

”Sorry sir, I have something to say, Kid is troublesome, but he is not as dangerous as the criminals of the past. However, he is only a thief, not ******.”

"No, Aaron, it's not the Phantom Kid that worries me."

Gordon shook his head.

“What I'm worried about is when Phantom Kid keeps trampling on the law, playing with the police like a fool, and even exposing everything to the public.”.

“How many people do you think will start imitating him? Once the number of people who no longer respect the law grows, a terrible storm will be triggered.”.

This is what Gordon really worries about.

The Phantom Kid was very different from the other criminals, he would not hide his criminal actions, instead, he would announce it and let the crowd see for themselves how easily he escaped the police siege.

After a while, people will question the police's ability to enforce the law, their incompetence will take hold and Gotham will be swamped with crime.

All the gangs Gordon has framed for eight years will no longer oppress themselves and there may be unrest on a larger scale than ever!

Therefore, the Phantom Kid is the only villain who must be caught at all costs!

"Mr ..." Aaron doesn't know what to say. According to him, Gordon's description was too serious, but seeing the heavy expression on Gordon's face, he kept his mouth shut.

"I've put coffee on the table, old hotshot, I don't think I need to pour it for you."

Aaron put the pot of coffee on the table and walked out the door when he saw Gordon nod.

After a while, Gordon felt a wave of fatigue and thought that he was indeed getting older. A decade ago he could stay up for days, now he can barely last all night…

He got up and poured himself a cup of coffee, but as soon as he picked up the pot, Gordon froze, staring dead at the table.

He saw a white card lying there quietly, the cartoon head clearly visible…

“Master, you have ..”

At that moment, the office door opened again and a man with a coffee pot came in, and sure enough, it was Aaron Cash again!

Gordon quickly stepped forward, grabbed the coffee pot in one hand, and then grabbed Aaron's face tightly.

"Hi! Hiya! Jim, what are you doing, I don't like this!”

Gordon stopped and walked back to the table without saying a word, his anger burning.

The Phantom Kid can enter and exit the GCPD freely, such as entering his own home. This is a striking shame.

Taking a deep breath, Gordon calmed himself down, knowing there was no point chasing him now. He took the card and examined it carefully.

After reading the contents of the notification letter, Gordon's pupils instantly shrank!
