Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

"You haven't changed much from before, Alfred. Is Bruce here too?"

Looking at Alfred, Vicky showed an expression as if she was meeting an old acquaintance of many years.

"No, Master Bruce is busy with important matters and did not come to attend."

Alfred shook his head slightly.

"This child..."

Vicky turned her gaze to Dick, looking at the young man whose height required her to look up slightly, and asked in disbelief: "You are not Richard Grayson, are you? 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?"

"It's been almost six years, Miss Vale."

Dick said with a smile.

"It's really you. I didn't expect it has been so long..."

Vicky said wistfully.

Many years ago, Vicky Vale dated Bruce Wayne. It was not a simple physical relationship, but a serious love affair.

Well...at least in name only.

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

At first, Bruce and Vicky got along well, but the relationship did not last long, just like every relationship Bruce had.

Although, even though the relationship ended, Bruce and Vicki still went out on dates from time to time...

"Have you had your dinner, Miss Weir?"

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 catch up with you, but I've already eaten. I came to the restaurant to find Gray Tard Ethan."

Vicki declined Alfred's invitation.

"Grey Tard Ethan? Is he the general manager of Ethan International Shipping Company? I heard that the 'Pink Fantasy' diamond at the auction belongs to him."

Dick asked curiously.

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

Vicky affirmed.

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

Dick pressed on.

Vicki looked Dick up and down, then declined with a smile: "As expected of a child raised by Bruce, your curiosity is almost as good as his, so I have to tell you the same thing as him, these are reporters' business It’s confidential, I can’t tell you any details.”

"Well, I hope I didn't embarrass you."

Dick said disappointedly.

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

Vicky looked at her watch and said, and then left in a hurry.

"Good luck, Miss Weir."

Alfred and Dick encouraged her.

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

"Ok?"

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

He leaned down and took a look. It turned out to be the empty dinner plate that the waiter had knocked off just now. Since the place where the plate fell was right under the table, Dick and Alfred didn't see it when they stood up to chat with Vicky. .

In addition, the waiter was running too fast, so the two of them didn't pay much attention to the empty dinner plate still on the ground.

"It's just that I accidentally bumped into someone passing by from behind. The waiter was so scared. You can only imagine what the usual style of those nobles is..."

Dick knelt down and picked up the empty dinner plate covering the ground, thinking dissatisfiedly.

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

I saw a white card suddenly appearing on the floor where the dinner plate was held down!

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

Alfred asked strangely when he saw Dick ducking under the table and not coming out.

"Afu, we just met Kaitou Kidd!"

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

"I just don't know which one is Kidd, the waiter or Miss Weir."

"Did I hear you correctly? What did you just say?"

Hearing Dick talk about Kaitou Kidd, Alfred's expression suddenly became serious.

Dick looked around and saw that there was almost no one nearby. Vicky and the waiter who were here not long ago were also gone.

He placed the card on the table so that both himself and Alfred could see the words on it.

"Dear Robin:

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

Yours sincerely, Kaitou Kidd"

"Master Richard, this is it!"

Alfred stood up from his chair in shock and covered up the words on the card as quickly as possible.

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, Afu, I just confirmed that no one is paying attention to us now."

Dick said solemnly.

"Kaitou Kidd, he knows your identity!"

Alfred lowered his voice and said.

Dick took a deep breath to calm down and replied in a low voice: "I don't want to believe it either, but it turns out that he does know that I am Robin."

"How is this possible? Kaitou Kidd has only met Robin once. How could he know that Robin is you?"

Alfred still couldn't believe it.

"I don't know. Apart from Bruce, you and Barbara, only the heroes of the Justice League know that I am Robin. There is no way Kidd knows who I am."

Dick frowned, thinking about all the possibilities in his mind.

Suddenly, Alfred hid the card in his clothes and said to Dick with a worried face: "Kidd knows who you are, which means that Master Bruce's identity is likely to be exposed."

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

"No, Fu, if we leave now, we will play into Kaitou Kidd's hands."

Dick shook his head, "This card is Kaitou Kidd's provocation to me. He wants to test whether I dare to stay after knowing that my identity is exposed. If I stay, I will play a game of finding someone with him. If For me to 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 Kid tells others your identity?"

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

Dick said seriously.

"Kaitou Kidd wants me to play this game with him, then I will play with him to the end!"
