Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

"You haven't changed from before, Alfred, is Bruce here?"

Looking at Alfred, Vicky showed an expression of seeing an old acquaintance for many years.

"No, Master Bruce has important matters to attend, so he didn't come to attend."

Alfred shook his head slightly.

"This child..."

Vicky turned her eyes to Dick, looked at the boy whose height she had to look up slightly, and asked incredulously, "Could you be Richard Grayson? You have grown so big in a blink of an eye, we When was the last time we met, three years ago? Or four years ago?"

"Nearly six years, Miss Will."

Dick smiled.

"It's really you, I didn't expect it to be so long..."

Vicky reminisced.

Many years ago, Vicki Weir had a relationship with Bruce Wayne. It was not a simple physical relationship, but a serious relationship.

Well... at least in name.

On the day Dick's parents died, Bruce accompanied Vicky to the circus, and Vicky witnessed the whole process of Dick being adopted by Bruce.

At first, Bruce and Vicky got along fine, but the relationship didn't last long, like every relationship Bruce has.

Although, despite the end of the relationship, Bruce and Vicky still go on dates every now and then...

"Have you had your supper, Miss Vail?"

Alfred looked at Vicky who was alone and asked, "I mean, if you don't mind, you can sit with us."

"Thank you for your kindness, Alfred. I'd love to share with you guys, but I've already eaten. I actually came to the restaurant to find Gray Tad Ethan."

Vicky declines Alfred's invitation.

"Grey Tad Ethan? Is that the head of the Ethan International Shipping Company? I heard that the 'Pink Dream' diamond at the auction belongs to him."

Dick asked curiously.

"Yes, that's him. I have a lot of questions and I want to interview him face to face."

Vicky affirmed.

"What's the problem? Is it related to Kaitou Kidd? Or is it related to the rumor of the Penguin?"

Dick pressed on.

Vicky looked Dick up and down, and declined with a smile: "As expected of a child raised by Bruce, your curiosity is comparable to his, so I have to tell you the same thing as him, these are journalists' business Confidential, I can't tell you any details."

"Well, I hope I didn't make it hard for you."

Dick was disappointed.

"Okay, guys, I have to go now. The auction will start in half an hour. I wonder if we can find Mr. Ethan before it starts."

Vicky looked at her watch and said, after finishing speaking, she left in a hurry.

"Good luck, Miss Vail."

Alfred and Dick cheered behind her.

Watching Vicky go away, the two of them prepared to sit back at the dining table.

"Um?"

At this time, Dick suddenly noticed that there seemed to be something on the floor under the table.

Leaning down to look, it turned out to be the empty plate that the waiter knocked off just now. Since the plate fell just under the table, Dick and Alfred didn't see it when they stood up to chat with Vicky .

In addition, the waiter ran too fast before, and the two of them didn't pay much attention to the empty plate still on the ground.

"It's just that I accidentally bumped into someone passing by, and the waiter would be so scared. One can imagine how those noble children usually behave..."

Dick squatted down to pick up the empty dinner plate covered on the floor, thinking dissatisfiedly in his heart.

But when he picked up the empty dinner plate, Dick's expression changed instantly.

I saw a white card suddenly appeared on the floor where the dinner plate was taken!

"Is there anything under the table, Master Richard?"

Alfred asked strangely when he saw Dick leaned over and stuck under the table and couldn't come out.

"Ah Fu, we just saw Kaitou Kidd!"

Dick came out from under the table with a solemn face, holding the white card in his hand.

"It's just that it's not clear which one is Kidd, the waiter or Miss Will."

"I heard that right, what did you just say?"

Hearing Dick say Kaito Kidd, Alfred's expression became serious all of a sudden.

Dick looked around, there was basically no one around, and Vicky and the waiter who were here not long ago had long since disappeared.

He put the card on the table so that both he and Alfred could read the words on it.

"Dear Robin:

Here and now, I am among you, come to me, little bird beside the bat, if you can find me before the bell rings, I have a surprise for you.

Sincerely, Phantom Thief Kidd"

"Master Richard, this is it!"

Alfred stood up from his chair in shock, and covered the words on the card as fast as he could.

At the same time, he kept looking left and right, as if he was afraid that others would see the content on the card.

"Don't get excited, Ah Fu, I confirmed it just now, no one is paying attention to our side now."

Dick said in a low voice.

"Phantom Thief Kidd, he knows your identity!"

Alfred lowered his voice and said.

Dick took a deep breath to force himself to calm down, and also whispered back: "I don't want to believe it, but it turns out that he does know that I am Robin."

"How is this possible? Phantom Thief Kidd has only met Robin once, how could he know that Robin is you?"

Alfred couldn't believe it all the time.

"I don't know. Except for Bruce, you and Barbara, only the heroes of the Justice League know that I am Robin. It is impossible for Kaito Kidd to know who I am."

Dick frowned, thinking about all possibilities in his mind.

Suddenly, Alfred hid the card in his clothes, and said to Dick with a worried expression on his face, "Kid the Phantom Thief knows who you are, which means that Master Bruce's identity is likely to be exposed as well."

"It's too dangerous to stay here! Master Richard, we have to leave now!"

"No, Ah Fu, if we leave now, we will fall into the hands of Kaitou Kidd."

Dick shook his head, "This card is Kidd's challenge to me. He wants to test whether I dare to stay after knowing my identity is exposed. If I stay, I will play a game of finding someone with him. My retreat is equivalent to admitting defeat in the game."

"Have you thought it through, Master Richard?"

Alfred stared at Dick and asked, "Do you know what will be waiting for you if Kaitou Kidd tells others your identity?"

"I'm pretty sure Kaito Kidd wouldn't do that, at least not now, or all the criminals in Gotham would have come to kill me."

Dick said seriously.

"Phantom Thief Kidd wants me to play this game with him, so I will accompany him to the end!"
