Become a Phantom Thief from the Comic World

Chapter 70 Penguin’s New Secretary (Please collect it! Please read it!)

The day after Kaito Kidd stole the dragon egg ruby ​​necklace.

From early that morning, overwhelming news spread throughout the streets.

Unlike before, Kaitou Kidd is now a famous figure in Gotham, and a notice can attract countless media to rush for it.

Dozens of newspapers, large and small, sent their reporters and photographers to take various portraits of Phantom Thief Kidd as today's front page photos.

Fortunately, in this incident, Kaitou Kidd was the first to appear in the main square of the Natural History Museum, giving photographers countless shooting opportunities.

It can be said that each media has got its favorite front-page news, and also has different styles of eye-catching headlines.

"Shocked! Bat Girl was actually played by Kaitou Kidd in public!"

"The Dragon Egg Ruby Necklace was stolen when it was put on public display for the first time. The Chandler family suffered heavy losses!"

"Lian Zhan Lian Jie! Who can stop Kaitou Kidd?"

"Is it magic or magic? A miraculous performance that makes the rainwater flow back!"

……

Under the bombardment of a series of Kaid Kid news, the news about "Prison escapee 'Firefly' Garfield Lynn was defeated by Batgirl and Robin and returned to prison" seems extremely insignificant.

However, no matter how trivial it is, someone will always pay attention to it.

"bump!"

In the Iceberg Club, Penguin smashed a newspaper on the table with a sullen expression.

"Firefly is a loser! He swore he could kill Kaitou Kidd by himself, but he was treated like a monkey!"

O'Kilwe and several other Penguin's confidants stood in a row below, all with their heads lowered and silent.

"Not only Firefly is useless! Robin and Batgirl are both useless! When we were dealing with each other, one person could defeat dozens of people, but when we were dealing with Kaitou Kidd, he was allowed to escape several times?"

"And Nygma, he's a loser too! He can't even decipher the warning letter from Kidd, but he still has the nerve to call himself the Riddler?"

"Waste! Waste! It's all waste!"

Penguin swore angrily, even the Riddler in Arkham Asylum couldn't avoid it.

At this time, he turned to look at the group of subordinates below and shouted: "What are you all doing with your heads down? Talk to me!"

All the men looked at each other in confusion, then turned their attention to O'Kilwe in unison, gesturing for him to come up and speak.

It seemed that O'Kilwe was the only one among them who spoke better.

With no other choice, O'Kilwe had to stand up and say: "Boss, please calm down first. Although the assassination trap targeting Kaitou Kidd failed this time, we did not gain nothing."

"I don't see what I'm 'gaining'."

Penguin said coldly.

A look of hesitation flashed across O'Kilwe's face, and then he seemed to have made up his mind and said seriously: "This incident has made us realize the fact that we were almost completely wrong about Kaitou Kidd." , we underestimated him too much!”

"Kid is a very powerful thief. I think only Catwoman can compete with him, and maybe even Catwoman is not as good as him. If we don't face this fact, we will only be humiliated by him again and again!"

Hearing this, the Penguin's face was filled with uncertainty. Even though O'Kilwei had spoken more tactfully, how could he not be able to understand the meaning of the words if he was as shrewd as he was.

O'Kilwe was saying that he, the Penguin, had made the big mistake of underestimating the enemy!

The rest of the people unconsciously stayed away from O'Kilwei. Penguin was always the only one who blamed others. How could there be any time for others to blame him?

Even if there is something wrong with Penguin himself, he must have discovered it himself.

That's all in normal times, but now the Penguin is angry. Isn't O'Kilwe looking for death by saying this?

Just when everyone thought Ogilvy would anger the boss, the Penguin suddenly changed his face.

He asked O'Kilwei seriously: "This booby trap failed, and Kaito Kidd has formed a deadly feud with us. Do you have any good solutions?"

O'Kilwe thought carefully for a while and said: "We have already challenged Kaitou Kidd once with a bait, and he has officially accepted the challenge. If we use the bait again, I'm afraid all the gangs in Gotham will think that we are Penguins." I can’t afford to help, so I have to use other methods..."

He whispered a few words next to the Penguin, and the latter's eyes suddenly lit up, and the original anger was swept away.

"The plan you mentioned is very good. Promoting you is one of the best decisions I have ever made."

Penguin happily patted O'Kilwe on the shoulder and praised.

"Everywhere is well cultivated by the boss."

"It's too humiliating to put you in the casino. I thought about it all night last night. It would be better for you to stay with me."

At this moment, Penguin suddenly spoke.

"The position of staff officer is a bit low, O'Kilwe, you can be my secretary from now on."

O'Kilwei was shocked. Is this old penguin going to take back his operating rights in the Iceberg Casino?

Why? Did he see my purpose?

With so many thoughts in his mind, O'Kilwe's face remained as stable as a mountain, without any change.

When the Penguin offered him the position of secretary, O'Kilwe agreed, "It's an honor for me to stay and work next to the boss."

"By the way, do you know that Lark and Graytard were stabbed to death in prison yesterday with a sharp weapon?"

Penguin asked as if he suddenly remembered something, his face was calm and his expression was natural, just like he had thought of something by chance while chatting.

However, O'Kilwe's heart was in his throat.

"I know. According to the GCPD, it was the inmates in the prison who did it. The cause was an altercation between them."

"Do you believe it?"

Penguin smiled mysteriously.

"Just last night, the prisoner who was holding a sharp weapon died of food poisoning. A patrolling prison guard disappeared mysteriously. Even the cameras in the prison were vandalized. The ones who were damaged happened to be able to see the scene. Those few.”

"How could a prisoner have a weapon? It was probably someone who bribed the prison guards to send them in. The purpose was to kill Luck and Graytard. Afterwards, the guards and prisoners were all eliminated, and even the surveillance cameras were destroyed. When it came to the destruction... it was done so cleanly, this person must be a talent."

Penguin gave O'Kilwe a meaningful look and said, "I heard that you killed someone in the casino yesterday?"

O'Kilwe's heartbeat instantly accelerated several beats.

Penguin slowly opened the drawer and took out a photo.

While taking it, he said: "Before the prisoners killed Lark and Graytard, someone saw a man bribing the prison guards around the prison. He seemed to look very similar to the man you killed in the casino..."

(There is one more thing that needs to be said, that is, the future protagonist’s goals will not all be focused on gems. After all, he will definitely want to steal extraordinary quality treasures in the future, and DC’s famous extraordinary gems are relatively limited, so naturally he must focus on them. Other things, of course, are still mainly ordinary gems at this stage, I just want to tell you about this first)
