Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

After all the board members had left, there was an imperceptible look of tiredness in Bruce's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a determined look.

He sat in a chair and waited for a while.

Soon, Lucius Fox pushed open the door of the conference room and walked in.

"I just noticed that the faces of the directors were ugly when they left. Did you quarrel with them again?"

Lucius asked naturally, as if he had seen the scene many times.

"Not really, this time the plan went much smoother than usual, and I didn't spend much effort to convince them."

Bruce said calmly.

"A development plan for the hills northwest of the Otisburg area? I guess they'll agree because they see a huge business opportunity hidden in it."

As the chief CEO of Wayne Group and an ally of Batman, Lucius is very clear about the various projects Bruce wants to do.

"Heh, otherwise, how could those old vampires agree to this project so easily?"

Bruce smiled disdainfully, and said, "They think they can profit from it, but I will never let them succeed."

"I think they might be doing something secretly. You can't keep an eye on it all the time. After all, you have too much to do."

Lucius said.

"So, I decided to hand over the entire development plan to you."

Of course Bruce said.

"Ha, I knew it."

Lucius shook his head helplessly.

"I guess you haven't counted how much mess you've left on me."

"This is because I believe that with your ability, you will be able to do all the work, Lucius."

Bruce smiled slightly.

"Just wait, sooner or later I will take back all the shares in their hands, and then we can do many things freely."

"Honestly, if some friend came to their house every night to talk to them, maybe your goal would have been achieved."

Hearing this, Bruce frowned, and said: "Batman is not a robber, Lucius, it is very easy to take away the equity by illegal means, but he won't do that, and he shouldn't do that."

"I know, but sometimes I think, if this continues, how long will you have to persist to achieve the desired goal?"

Lucius was not surprised by Bruce's reaction, and sighed slightly.

"I'll hold on until the day I can't hold on."

Bruce said decisively.

"Okay, that's the end of the gossip, there is a friend waiting for us to make an appointment tonight."

Then, Bruce ended the conversation.

"Lucius, are all the things I asked you to prepare yesterday?"

"Of course, inspections are always welcome."

Lucius nodded.

"Then let's go quickly."

Tata tata tata!

In the Cavaliers Stadium, several helicopters hovered back and forth in the sky, and the high-speed rotating propellers made a loud sound, which echoed in the sky.

Three of them are police helicopters from GCPD, and the rest are special planes of Gotham's major media companies.

Although Bruce has already set up an encirclement circle with a live camera in the center of the stadium lawn, which can broadcast the whole process of Kaitou Kidd's theft in an all-round way, theoretically, the media does not need to come and broadcast it.

But if such a big hot issue is not reported in real time on the front line, can it still be called a journalist?

Now that the close-range live broadcast on the ground has already been done by the Wayne Group, they will find another way to shoot the whole process from a bird's-eye view.

Anyway, during the previous rehearsal, the white mist in the sky seemed to be a key link in Kaitou Kidd's technique, just to see what was going on from the air.

Among the several media helicopters, the most conspicuous one came from the largest Gotham Gazette.

Naturally, our old friend, Gotham's leading celebrity reporter-Vicki Weir is also indispensable.

"Hello, my friends and audience, I'm Vicki Weir, and I'm in the sky above the Cavaliers Stadium right now."

In the cabin of the helicopter, Vicky spoke to the camera with a microphone.

"It can be seen that the Cavaliers Stadium is almost full at this time, showing the strong interest of people in Gotham in Bruce Wayne's challenge to Kaitou Kidd."

"From this phenomenon, we can see that the existence of Strange Thief Kidd in Gotham is not just a mere criminal. He seems to have become a strange cultural symbol, and to some extent also shows great star effect."

"We have to admit that Kaito Kidd is indeed an extremely charismatic super criminal. He is not as crazy as Two-Face, not as cunning as Penguin, not as paranoid as Riddler, not as vicious as Killer Crocodile, and not as cunning as Penguin. Not as incomprehensible as the Joker, or even any criminal in the world."

"Stealing to him was like a medium for a magic show rather than a pure crime. I'm not exonerating Kaito Kidd. He's a criminal, no doubt about it, but you have to Say, this matter is really cool and spicy!"

"He is full of wisdom, pays attention to etiquette, is humorous and has a gentlemanly demeanor at the same time. From his clothes to his temperament, he embodies romanticism all the time. Oh, not to mention that he is still so handsome. I believe no one will dislike such a strange thief. Kidd."

"Given that in the preview three days ago, Kaitou Kidd stole a special thing called the Bat Light, some people think that this may become the fuse of the first conflict between Batman and Kaitou Kidd."

"Now, there is only one and a half hours left from Kaitou Kidd's last rehearsal, let us wait and see whether this duel is another miracle performed by Kaitou Kidd, or the last blow!"

As time progresses, it is getting closer and closer to the time when Kaitou Kidd will show up.

Everyone in the Cavaliers Stadium cheered up, for fear of missing any wonderful moment.

At that time, Bruce Wayne, Jim Gordon and others were standing outside the camera, watching the bat light inside.

There is also a circle of GCPD guards standing around, all well-equipped, eyeing the Kaitou Kidd.

These dozen or so guards are the team that Gordon has led hand in hand over the years, and they are the most trustworthy group of people in GCPD.

By bringing them here, Gordon strengthened his determination to arrest Kidd.

The venue this time can be said to be quite beneficial to GCPD. The previous operations of Kaito Kidd were all in confined spaces, and there were still a large number of civilians, which made it inconvenient for Gordon to order the shooting.

But now all the civilians are in the auditorium, and there is no citizen on the lawn the size of a football field, so there is no need to worry about fratricide.

However, Gordon still did not change his opinion on Kidd the Phantom Thief. He was guilty but not dead. If possible, he did not intend to kill Kidd.

So the guards are not equipped with live ammunition, but anesthesia ammunition.

"The time is coming."

At this time, Bruce looked at his watch and said intently.
