Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

Seeing Batman reaching out again, O'Kilwe thought he was going to do something to him, and he was so scared that he closed his eyes.

But the pain he imagined didn't appear, and Batman's eerie and hoarse voice rang in his ears.

"Tell me, who is this person?"

O'Kilwe cautiously opened one eye, only to see Batman holding a photo in his hand.

The photo shows a man wearing a mask, with only the upper half of his face exposed and his complete appearance unclear.

The shooting angle is from a bird's-eye view. It doesn't look like a normal shooting angle at all. Instead, it looks like it was captured by a monitor.

Apparently, this was the kidnapper who went to Arkham Asylum to threaten Kurt Langstone.

"Again, I need a name!"

Batman's eyes were fierce and his tone was full of threats.

"Okay, let me tell you! Let me tell you! This man's name is Tom. He is a newcomer who joined the Iceberg Club as a bartender two months ago. I only know this much, and I don't know anything else."

O'Kilwe quickly raised his hands to hold his head and said hastily.

"You were Penguin's second-in-command and the bartender at the Iceberg Club who went to Arkham Asylum a month ago, and you want me to believe you don't know about it?"

Batman's tone was cold, and he fiercely grabbed O'Kilwe's collar, lifting his whole body and feet up in the air like a chicken.

"Wait! Batman, listen to me! Some things are not as simple as you think!"

As if he was afraid of being beaten by Batman, O'Kilwe danced with a horrified expression and kept shouting at the same time.

"It's true that Tom is a little bartender, but he's not within my jurisdiction!"

Batman narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "I'm listening."

O'Kilwe sighed and said: "Batman, you have to know that although I am Cobot's secretary and the nominal deputy of the Penguin Gang, I am actually not popular in the gang because I My qualifications are too young, and many older members don’t like me.”

"The person who brought Tom into the gang was Mr. Mosaic. You must be familiar with him, and he is exactly one of the people with the worst relationship with me. Of course, he can't report to me when and where Tom went and what he did. !”

Mr. Mosaic…

Batman is certainly no stranger to this man, because he was the first super criminal to cooperate with the Penguin, and was once a strong enemy of Batman in his early years.

Mr. Mosaic, like Penguin, has no superpowers. He has that title just because his face is so ugly that it looks like he has Mosaic.

It is worth mentioning that the Tom who was brought into the Iceberg Club by Mr. Mosaic was actually the young waiter who was knocked unconscious by Dean and disguised as him.

After the "Pink Dream" incident, the Gotham International Hotel blamed Tom for Kidd's invasion, so he was fired and completely lost his job.

Later, by chance, Tom somehow got involved with Mr. Mosaic and jumped from the hotel kitchen waiter to the Iceberg Club bartender.

"Do you still remember Luck and Graytard who were arrested a few months ago? They are also very close to Mosaic, and they all look down on me who was suddenly promoted by the boss."

Batman did not doubt what O'Kilvi said. Although Batman had not returned to Gotham when the two of them were imprisoned, Batman also investigated the details of Kidd's past cases while studying them. Read it again.

O'Kilwe's position in the Penguin Gang is indeed very delicate. It can be said that if the Penguin hadn't promoted him, according to the normal promotion process, O'Kilwe would have been just an insignificant peripheral leader.

It is normal for him to be discriminated against and ostracized by veteran members such as Mr. Mosaic. Judging from logic, Okierwe's words are reasonable and there is no doubt.

The most important thing is that Okierwei temporarily took over the power of the Penguin Gang in the past two days.

The kidnapping of Francine Langstone and Tom's trip to Arkham Asylum both happened a month ago. At that time, the Penguin was still there and O'Kilway was just his secretary.

If the person who instigated Tom to kidnap Francine was Mr. Mosaic, it is possible that O'Kilwe had no right to intervene.

These thoughts went through Batman's mind quickly, and he had a plan in mind.

"ah!"

Batman casually threw O'Kilwe to the side, and the latter hit the floor hard and couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.

“I will come again.”

After leaving the words saying he would come back, Batman's figure hid in the shadows of the room and suddenly disappeared, like a ghost.

"Hmm~"

O'Kilwe, who was on the ground, shook his head twice, stood up shakily, and then cautiously looked around the room.

It wasn't until he confirmed that Batman was really gone that he came to the window and closed it tightly, with a look of fear on his face and he breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when O'Kilwe closed the window and turned around, the expression on his face made a 180-degree turn.

All panic and fear were gone, replaced by a cold face with a contemptuous smile.

What he did in front of Batman just now was all faked by him.

Tap tap tap tap...

At this moment, a burst of footsteps came from outside the door, accompanied by another unfamiliar voice.

"You really act like that, Emperor Penguin."

O'Kilwe turned to the door, and what came into view was the man in Batman's photo - Tom!

"Didn't I ask you not to come to see me casually?"

Seeing Tom, O'Kilwe's face suddenly darkened.

"If Mosaic finds out about our relationship, then my plan will be completely ruined! Now is the most critical time of the plan, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Hmph! Don't worry, Mosaic won't be suspicious. I'm a staff member of the Iceberg Club. Is there any problem with coming to see the person in charge of the Iceberg Club during working hours?"

Tom sneered.

"I just came here to ask, is the deal between us still standing? You promised me that you would kill Kaitou Kidd with my own hands."

"Of course, as long as I continue according to my plan, Kaito Kidd will definitely die in your hands."

O'Kilwe said with determination.

"Last night I wanted to kill Kaitou Kidd in Wayne Tower, but you told me that the time was not right. I endured it, but the next time I have the opportunity to kill Kaitou Kidd, I will never miss it! "

Tom stared into O'Kilvi's eyes, keeping his eyes peeled.

It's hard to imagine that a small bartender and gangster would have the confidence and courage to look into the eyes of the current nominal leader of the Penguin Gang, and there was no embarrassment on O'Kilwe's face.

He was even sure of killing Kaitou Kidd!

Tom, who was just an ordinary waiter before joining the Penguin Gang, what happened to him in just a few months that caused such a big change?

Not to mention the appearance of Kaitou Kidd's enemy and Batman being induced by O'Kilwe to investigate Mr. Mosaic.

At this moment, Kidd, the thief whom Tom was thinking about, was shopping in a clothing store.

Dean, who was disguised as a sexy young woman, looked at Cassandra, who was also disguised next to him, and then looked at the row of various styles of underwear in front of him, thinking to himself.

"It feels like the children's version is almost enough..."
