Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

after a while.

"I'm really sorry to bother you."

Before leaving, Cassandra apologized to Dean hurriedly at the door.

"Don't be so polite, I didn't blame you, so why blame yourself?"

Dean smiled helplessly.

After the simple conversation just now, Cassandra has been blaming herself for mistaking Dean for Kaitou Kidd.

Sometimes Dean, who is so messed up, has the illusion that he is cheating.

After that, the two chatted briefly for a while, covering everything, and even talked about Barbara's recent situation.

In the human bat incident last month, Barbara was attacked by human bats while investigating the crime scene, and she escaped with serious injuries. Her arms and legs were fractured to varying degrees.

And Barbara's injury can also be regarded as an opportunity for Dean and Cassandra to get acquainted.

According to what Cassandra heard from the doctor when she ordered Barbara, Barbara's recovery is very fast and she is expected to be discharged from the hospital in a week.

This means that Batgirl is also coming back.

At that time, Gotham's three bats will reunite, Batman, Robin, and Batgirl.

Dean is not quite sure how many villains he is in the eyes of the Bat-Family, but considering some of the things he has done, such as playing with Robin and Batgirl successively, and facing Bat Lantern in front of tens of thousands of people Hands and feet and the like.

Even if the Bat family doesn't think Kaito Kidd is a very dangerous villain, I'm afraid the latter's ridicule value for them is not much lower.

Dean had to consider the scene where Batman, Robin, and Batgirl were sent out to catch him at the same time. Even though this possibility was lower than the supervillains in Gotham coming to besiege the Kaitou Kidd, he had to do it accordingly. psychological preparation.

It is never wrong to plan for a rainy day.

It’s okay not to have this happen, but you can’t be unprepared for it.

All in all, Cassandra had told and asked Dean a lot.

Although there was not much useful information, most of it was just normal chat, but Dean didn't expect to get any information from Cassandra.

She is a dumb girl, what can she know?

At this moment, looking at the back of Cassandra leaving, Dean closed the door with deep eyes.

Back in the living room, Dean went to the sofa where Cassandra was sitting just now, and...

Picked up a hair from above.

——

Evening, Gotham, Iceberg Club.

"So, the results of your investigation show that Match Malone has not done anything suspicious these days, he hasn't gone anywhere, and he hasn't seen anyone?"

The Penguin sat at the table and asked blankly.

Down below, Ogilvy nodded respectfully, and said, "Yes, boss, I have used all the manpower and connections I can use. Match Malone has never done anything suspicious these days."

"At least, Match Ma Long and Match Gang have strictly abided by the gambling agreement, and they have not tried to artificially manipulate the gambling situation."

Hearing this, Penguin fell into deep thought.

That is to say, Match Malone did guess that Kidd would win, and Batman would not take the initiative to fight Kidd.

It was still hard for him to believe it was true.

What reason did Match Malone dare to determine this? He has a news channel that Penguin doesn't know?

Did he have no reason but just luck?

Match Malone known to the Penguins is more or less a capable leader with a clear self-positioning. Under the leadership of Match Malone, the Match Gang has never invaded excess territory, and has never conflicted with other gangs' business.

No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a gambling dog.

Or, Match Malone's original intention was to give money to Penguin, but unexpectedly, Kaitou Kidd changed the whole game by himself?

Penguin was puzzled.

Jingle Bell! Jingle Bell!

At this moment, the dedicated phone on Penguin's desk rang.

He took a look and frowned.

An unfamiliar number was displayed on the screen. Judging from the form of the number, it seemed to come from an old public phone.

The Penguin gave Ogilvy a wink, and the latter understood immediately, and consciously withdrew from the door to wait.

Afterwards, Penguin answered the phone.

"Mr Coppert, why did it take you so long to answer the phone?"

A familiar voice came from the phone.

"Match Malone?"

Through the sound, the penguin immediately recognized the other party's identity.

"What do you mean now?"

Penguin asked calmly.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little scared to use my phone."

Match Malone replied, but there was no hint of fear in his tone.

"Do you think I will renege on my debt?"

The Penguin frowned, and raised his voice a lot, "You did win the bet, I am willing to admit defeat, and the 30 million dollars will be credited to your account immediately! In case others think that I, Oswald, can't bet! rise!"

"Wait, wait, don't get excited. I never thought of that, Mr. Copperpot."

Match Ma Long said quickly, his tone obviously softened a lot.

"How dare I doubt you? Who in Gotham doesn't know that the most important thing for Mr. Copperpot is honesty, but recently it seems that some people are secretly investigating me. I am worried that it may be someone from GCPD, which makes me have to be cautious. .”

"One more thing...Mr. Copperpot, in view of the recent investigation, my original account will not be used for the time being, and the 30 million should be remitted to this xxxxxx account."

A light flashed in Penguin's eyes, and he thought to himself: "How does this guy Ogilvy do things? Ask him to investigate and he was discovered!"

As for Match Malone’s worry about GCPD, the Penguin couldn’t believe it at all, because he didn’t want to pierce the window paper.

But this also proves one thing, that is, Match Malone did not make trouble outside the court, otherwise he would never have dared to contact Penguin.

Not to mention thinking about transferring money to a new account.

"I wrote it down, and the money will arrive tonight."

The Penguin promised calmly.

Different from the appearance, Penguin has a mind that cannot be lost to anyone, and the account number can be firmly memorized after only listening to it once. There is no need to ask repeatedly, and there is no need to take a pen to record it.

"Then I shall wait for your good news, Mr. Copperpot."

At the same time, in a remote and backward corner of Gotham, Dean, who carefully disguised himself as Matchstick Malone, hung up the phone.

He used the identity of Matchstick Malone to bet against Penguin at the beginning, but now that he has won the bet, he can't let Penguin really give the money to Matchstick Malone.

Of course, maybe Penguin doesn't want to give money yet.

But it doesn't matter, what Dean needs is never to get 30 million, but to make the Penguin lose 30 million, and the possibility of going against Match Marlon.

The account he reported to the Penguin was registered with a false identity. As long as he didn't use money from the account, it would basically not be traced back.

Of course, if there is a movement of funds, even if it is only a penny, it is very likely to be found.

On the other side, the Iceberg Club.

Not long after Penguin hung up the phone, a commotion came to his ears.
