Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics

Chapter 70 The Penguin's New Secretary

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

From the early morning of that day, overwhelming news spread all over the streets and alleys.

Different from before, Kaito Kidd is a famous person in Gotham now, and a teaser letter can attract countless media to rush.

Dozens of newspapers, large and small, sent their reporters and photographers to take various close-up photos of Kaitou Kidd, and use them as today's front page photos.

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

It can be said that every media has got their favorite front-page news, and also put on different styles of eye-catching headlines.

"Shocked! Batgirl was played by Kaito Kidd in public!"

"The Dragon Egg Ruby Necklace was stolen when it was exhibited publicly for the first time, and the Chandler family suffered heavy losses!"

"Len Chan Lian Jie! Who can stop the Kaitou Kidd?"

"Is it magic or magic? A miracle show that turns the rain back!"

...

Under the bombardment of a series of Phantom Thief Kidd news, the news about "the prison escapee 'Firefly' Garfield Lynn was defeated by Batgirl and Robin and returned to prison" seemed extremely insignificant.

It's just that, no matter how insignificant it is, someone will always pay attention to it.

"bump!"

Inside the Iceberg Club, Penguin smashed a newspaper on the table with a gloomy face.

"Firefly, you trash! You swore you could kill Kaitou Kidd by yourself, but you were treated like a monkey!"

Ogilvy and Penguin's other henchmen stood in a row below, all bowing their heads in silence.

"Not only Firefly is trash! Robin and Batgirl are all trash! When dealing with us, one person can kill dozens of people, but when dealing with Kaitou Kidd, he escaped several times?"

"And Nygma, he is also a piece of trash! He can't even solve the notice letter of the mere Phantom Thief Kidd, and he still has the nerve to call himself a riddle?"

"Trash! Trash! It's all trash!"

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

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

All the subordinates looked at each other, and turned their eyes to Ogilvy in unison, signaling him to go up and speak.

It seemed as though Ogilvy alone was more effective in speaking.

There was no other way, so Ogilvy had no choice but to stand up and say, "Boss, please calm down first. Although the assassination trap against the Kaitou Kidd failed this time, we didn't get nothing."

"I don't see what I 'get'."

Penguin said coldly.

A bit of hesitation flashed across Ogilvy's face, and then as if he had made up his mind, he said with a serious face: "This incident made us realize the fact that we were almost completely wrong about Kaitou Kidd. , We underestimated him too much!"

"Phantom Thief Kidd 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 up to this fact, we will only be humiliated by him again and again!"

Hearing this, Penguin's face was uncertain. Although Ogilvy's words were already more tactful, how could he be as shrewd as he could not understand the meaning of the words.

Ogilvy is saying that he, Penguin, made a big mistake of underestimating the enemy!

The rest of the people unconsciously stayed away from Ogilvy's side. It was always the Penguin who blamed others. How could anyone blame him?

Even if Penguin really had a problem with himself, it had to be discovered by himself.

Usually that's all, now that Penguin is angry, isn't Ogilvy saying that this is courting death?

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

He looked at Ogilvy and asked seriously: "The booby trap failed this time. The Kaitou Kidd has already made a death feud with us. Do you have any good solutions?"

Ogilvy thought carefully for a while, and said, "We have already challenged Kaito Kidd once with the bait, and he has officially accepted the challenge. If we use the bait again, the whole gang in Gotham will probably think that we are Penguin. I can't afford it, so I have to use other methods..."

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

"The plan you mentioned is very good, and promoting you is one of the most correct decisions I have ever made."

Penguin happily patted Ogilvy on the shoulder and praised.

"Wherever it is, it's all well cultivated by the boss."

"It's too inappropriate to put you in the casino. I thought about it all night yesterday. It's better for you to stay by my side."

At this moment, Penguin said suddenly.

"The position of the staff officer is a bit low, Ogilvy, you will be my secretary in the future."

Ogilvy was startled. Is this old Penguin going to take back his right to operate the Iceberg Casino?

Why? Did he see my purpose?

There were a lot of thoughts in his heart, but Ogilvy's face was still as stable as Mount Tai, without any change.

When the Penguin wanted to give him the position of secretary, Ogilvy agreed, "It's my honor to stay and work with the boss."

"By the way, do you know that Lak and Grey Tad were stabbed to death in prison yesterday?"

Penguin asked as if he had suddenly remembered something, with a calm and natural expression, just like the expression that happened to think of something while chatting.

However, Ogilvy raised his heart to his throat.

"Yes, according to the GCPD, it was the prisoners in the prison who moved their hands, and the cause was an altercation between them."

"Do you believe it?"

Penguin smiled mysteriously.

"Just last night, the prisoner with a sharp weapon died of food poisoning, a patrolling prison guard mysteriously disappeared, and even the cameras in the prison were artificially damaged, and those who were damaged happened to be able to see the scene Those few."

"How could a prisoner have a weapon? Probably someone bribed the prison guards to send it in. The purpose was to kill Lak and Grey Tad. Afterwards, the prison guards and prisoners were also removed. Even the surveillance cameras were blocked. When it comes to destruction...it's really clean, this person must be a talent."

The Penguin gave Ogilvy a meaningful look and said, "It is said that you killed someone in the casino yesterday?"

Ogilvy's heartbeat quickened several beats instantly.

The Penguin slowly opened the drawer and took out a photo from it.

While taking it, he said: "Before the prisoners killed Lak and Grey Tad, someone saw a man bribing the guards around the prison. It seemed to be very similar to the man you killed in the casino..."

(There is one more thing that needs to be said, that is, the goal of the protagonist in the future will not be all on the gems, after all, he will definitely want to steal super-quality treasures in the future, and the famous super gems in DC are relatively limited, so naturally we should focus on Other things, of course, are still dominated by ordinary gems at this stage, I just want to tell you about this first)
