Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

After leaving the Iceberg Casino, Dean carefully checked many times that no one was following him, and then went straight home.

Before entering the house is a new round of inspection.

Every time Dean pretends to go out, he has to do this again when he returns home, which is very tedious and tiring.

But there is no way, Dean chose to do this line of work, so caution is the most important thing.

No matter how hard or tired you are, you have to endure it.

After all, every time he performed as Kaitou Kidd, the cheers and exclamation of the audience could not be faked, nor could the expression on the face of the GCPD policeman who was itching with hatred and unable to do anything about him.

The most important thing is that the amazement value obtained after the action is successful is even more real.

Thinking about this, Dean's heart will be full of motivation again.

The experience in his previous life told him that hard work might not be rewarded accordingly, but after traveling to this world, every effort he put in was systematically rewarded.

Even, not only can Dean's efforts be 100% rewarded, but the rewards he gets are far greater than the rewards he paid.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that the troublesome work that Dean usually does is not as hard as he imagined.

Back home, Dean walked into the underground secret room.

"I took the risk of using a technique in front of Batman. According to the worst case scenario, he may already know the secret of that technique, and may even associate more information with it."

Dean thought so.

"But... how could I possibly perform repeated magic tricks in front of Batman? To challenge the three principles of Thurston, I can still try it in front of ordinary people. It would be too much to do in front of Batman."

The so-called Suston’s Three Principles refer to the basic principles established by a magician named Howard Suston for magic performances many years ago. For nearly a century, all magicians have followed the three principles. The big principles are:

1. Never disclose the next magic content before the performance.

2. Don't do the same magic trick to the same audience at the same time and place.

3. Never reveal the secrets of magic to the audience.

There are rumors in the Gotham magic circle that Howard Suston has a certain blood relationship with Dean's Suston.

But the age is long, and Dean's parents have died early, and there are no other relatives, so it is impossible to verify. It is not clear whether Dean is real or not.

All in all, according to Saston's second principle, Dean has already performed a magic trick in front of Batman, so at the same place and at the same time, Dean can no longer perform the original magic trick.

But Dean said that the last time was a preview, and this time he would steal the bat lamp and gems in the same way.

He can't slap himself in the face, can he?

Heh heh, worrying about this is completely superfluous, because there are too many magic tricks with similar performances but very different techniques. Dean just said to use the same tricks as shown, and it is not his tricks that are not shown. Whatever you want?

Everything is within Dean's plan, Jie Jie Jie Jie...

However, the magic that Dean intends to use in the official duel is quite different. It must be exactly the same as the last time it was shown, and it must not be easily seen by Batman. This is actually quite difficult.

You still have to plan carefully, maybe you have to use the props in the system.

——

Time passed by in a hurry, and soon came the day announced by Kaitou Kidd.

When the night is getting dark, Kaitou Kidd will once again show the miraculous magic of the bat lamp disappearing!

To this day, the theft of Kaitou Kidd has become a major entertainment activity for the people of Gotham.

Watching the wonderful magic show, you don’t have to worry about your personal safety, and you can also see the angry expressions of those rich people. Is there any more perfect show in the world than this?

Compared with Kaitou Kidd, those magic masters I have seen before are all weak!

Not because Kaito Kidd has a higher level of magic than they do, but because there's a thrill based on grand theft that any magic show doesn't have.

In the whole world, only Kaitou Kidd's family dares to play like this, and only he can play like this.

Today's society has entered the information age, how could Kaito Kidd be popular only in Gotham?

Last month, in Florida, a young magician imitated Kaito Kidd and sent warning letters to the police station and museum to steal things, but he was arrested on the same day.

In addition to Florida, there are actually a few fanatic fans who are obsessed with Kaito Kidd in other states, or professional magicians who want to copy Kaito Kidd, all imitating Kaito Kidd's behavior of stealing.

No surprise they're all picking up soap now.

Paradoxically, Gotham, where Phantom Thief Kidd himself haunts, has no real copycat crimes.

Kaitou Kidd's Gotham imitators generally stop at the cosplay stage, and I don't know if it's because of the deity here.

In short, the Cavaliers Stadium was bustling like never before.

The stadium, which can accommodate 30,000 people, is almost full.

It was usually only possible during that time in rugby league, and now it's just because of a criminal.

In the past, Kaitou Kidd's crimes could not accommodate too many people watching at the same time because of the venue, so the audience was only a few thousand at the most.

But today is different. With Bruce Wayne's wealth, he directly rented out the entire Cavaliers Stadium as the venue for Kaito Kidd's performance, which immediately made Kaito Kidd's audience several times more than before.

the other side.

Wayne Group, Board of Directors.

More than 20 major shareholders of Wayne Group gathered together and sat at the long round table.

Bruce Wayne sat at the main seat as the chairman, with a calm face and a relaxed expression.

The rest of the shareholders and directors were all stern, looking uncertain.

"How? Directors, do you have any objections to my proposal?"

Bruce asked with a smile on his face.

No one said a word.

"Hmph, sooner or later the group will be defeated by you, Bruce!"

After a long time, a shareholder who seemed to be very senior stood up from his seat and said with a cold snort.

"This time your proposal made me see the hope of getting back the cost and even making money, so I have no objection, but if you do those projects that can't make ends meet in the future, then I will object to everything!"

"Bruce, you feel that you are doing good deeds and fighting for the interests of the poor regardless of the cost. Do you know that the group's several large-scale residential area renovation plans over the years can't even cover the cost! Don't forget, the group needs to be profitable to long!"

Bruce didn't care about the words of the old shareholders, he just smiled lightly and said: "The profitability of the group in recent years has been very healthy. It is true that the profits are far lower than when you were in power, but our profit margins every quarter are still growing steadily. rise."

"Your annual dividends have never been less than a penny. I don't understand what you are worried about?"

Having said that, the smile on Bruce's face gradually disappeared and became serious.
