Phantom Kid in the American Comic World
92. She Knows
"My name is Happy Hogan, and I'm Tony's bodyguard and driver."
Seeing Pepper and Bruce chatting quite well, the fat man by the side also interfered in the conversation between them.
“Nice to meet you, Happy. I like this name.”
Bruce shook hands with Happy in a friendly manner.
"Why hasn't Kid-sama come yet?"
On the other hand, Daisy asked gloomily.
It has been a long time since the opening ceremony.
However, even the Phantom Kid's shadow did not appear.
“Maybe. After all, it's not a gem. ”
Barbara laughed cynically.
No, he's definitely coming!"
From the side, Pamela said with determination.
On stage, Tony looked at his watch.
“Time passes so quickly. It's almost twelve o'clock, so let's start the spotlight today now.”
The audience was very tempted, and everyone knew what Tony meant.
This is an exhibition of the first generation Arc Reactor!
It also means that the Phantom Kid might appear!
“It looks like you all are looking forward to the little guy who saved me from the cave. but, I know you guys are looking forward to the others.”.
“At the end of the show, let's talk about Stark Expo in its entirety.”
Tony clapped his hands, and the surrounding floodlights went out.
The big screen in the booth lit up.
“The founder of Stark Expo is my father Howard Stark. So, I think it's best for him to introduce the Expo. ”
Tony said so, but no one could see the complexity in his eyes. He respected his father, and at the same time was dissatisfied with his nature, because the latter was always focused on work.
Many times Tony wondered if his father never liked him.
"What!!!!"
The audience shouted with excitement.
Toni's confused. “Isn't it Howard's videotape that introduced the exhibit? I don't know how many times I've watched it.”
"What is this overreaction?"
"Could it be that after a few decades, Howard was still so high in people's hearts?"
Tony looked back at the big screen in surprise, and at that moment, he was dumbfounded.
Although Howard's voice played in stereo, Howard's videotapes did not play on the screen.
Instead, a white image with a few lines written on it was released.
"Sir. Stark, I'm here to retrieve the first generation Arc Reactor.
ghost boy”
Besides that word, of course, Kid's head.
Could the Phantom Kid have stolen the reactor?
But he never appeared from beginning to end!
What's more, the Arc Reactor currently still had to be stored under a certain floor.
"Jarvis, put on my armor."
Many robotic arms were raised again under the floor of the booth, and Tony quickly put on a Mark IV suit.
"Check who changed the tape!"
Tony asked Jarvis to check on the exhibition surveillance, and then pressed a button to raise the Arc Reactor display case.
The floor in the center of the exhibition automatically splits and the storefront rises from the bottom.
“It looks like our thief didn't get his prey.”
After checking that the reactor in the display case was genuine with the energy detection system included with the suit, Tony smiled and sighed easily.
However, no one cared about Tony in his suit at the moment, their attention was fixed on something else.
"Yes God! What is it on the ground?”
"Is that a bomb?"
Shortly after Tony spoke, numerous black balls appeared on the ground in the middle of the venue mysteriously, and then exploded with loud explosions.
Thick smoke instantly enveloped the entire place.
"It's a smoke bomb!"
The chaos began suddenly.
After all, New Yorkers are not like Gotham citizens. Even if they knew that it was just a smoke bomb, they still could not help the fear in their hearts.
The spectators at the venue ran around one after another.
"What's the problem, is this scary
On the edge of the auditorium, Daisy looks disdainful. Their position is not far from the most crowded place, and it is unlikely that they will be crowded in a flock.
"If we leave now, you won't be able to see Kid-sama."
Barbara was tempted to say that there were not many true Kid fans in the audience. Who will take the risk and stay here?
But when his mouth said, "Maybe... New York's been too peaceful these years."
Pamela's eyes flickered, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
“Toni!”
As his bodyguard, Happy shouted and rushed onto the stage.
Everyone knows that Tony is wearing a battle suit right now, and he doesn't need Happy's protection at all, but this isn't reason enough for Happy to sit down and do nothing. A bodyguard should act like a bodyguard.
Who knew Pepper was faster than him. When he had just exited the auditorium, Pepper was already in the booth.
At this moment, none of them noticed that Bruce's chair was empty for some time ...
Even if they paid attention, at most they would think that Bruce had escaped like the rest of the audience.
"Sir, I've checked all the surveillance records, and there are only three people who may have manipulated the video footage."
Jarvis's voice is heard in Tony's helmet.
"Who are they?"
“You, Happy Hogan and. Pepper Poz.”.
In an instant, Tony's mind flashed, thinking of Kid's notification letter, he knew who the Phantom Kid was!
“Toni, are you okay?”
At this moment, Pepper just ran over and asked worriedly while running.
“No, no, Pepper has never been so gentle with me.
Tony thought in his mind that the real Pepper would really curse him for being stupid.
He immediately stood in the middle, between Pepper and the Arc Reactor storefront.
"Hey, Pepper, don't come here just yet."
"What, what are you talking about?"
Pepper stopped and asked with a frown.
"You're the Phantom Kid, right?"
Tony aimed the palm cannon at Pepper.
“Toni! You're crazy, how can I be the Phantom Kid? ”
“Ha, your attorney's letter is too clumsy and very deceptive. To be honest, I do not like puzzles at all, I prefer to decode and system, because all codes have strict logic, and with logic there is a breakdown.”
“But the puzzle is different. The setting of the puzzle is purely reliant on the subjective psychology of the designer. This could be illogical. It is impossible to guess the meaning of a puzzle without a key entry point. I prefer to call the riddle a cold joke. ”
toni said confidently.
