Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 137

"You're not... in love, are you?"

Seeing Barbara's silence, Maggison leaned close to her ear and said softly.

"You talk to your boyfriend every night, right?"

"What did you say!"

Barbara immediately pushed away Magison with a dark face, you are not enlightened, how could she enjoy being in love!
"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. You taught me the words of Maggison!"

Barbara is furious, and McKesson actually doubts her feelings?
"Then what is it that you must keep from me?"

Maggison's tone suddenly calmed down, and he looked at Barbara's face indifferently.

"We are childhood sweethearts who grew up together, right, shouldn't we be more honest with each other?"

"Back in Gotham, not only did you not hide your plan to catch Kaito Kidd, you even dragged me along."

"Why are you hiding everything from me now?"

Hearing what Maggison said, Barbara's eyes darkened.

Yeah, why hide it from Maggison?

This obviously makes him think that he doesn't trust him.

But Barbara still didn't want Maggison to be in danger.

If Maggison was told about the existence of the High Tide Organization, Maggison would most likely prevent Barbara from pursuing it alone.

"It's really nothing, I'm just... just practicing the new code, and Pamela sees me typing the code."

Barbara was still trying to get away with it.

Maggison shook his head. This girl is usually shrewd and capable, but she can't even tell a complete lie in front of her.

"Barbara, I know you as well as you know yourself, and I can actually guess that you must be thinking about your superhero game."

"New York is not like Gotham, where there are a lot of anonymous street vigilantes, but Gotham has only Batman... You want to join them, don't you?"

McKesson got close to Barbara again, his eyes seemed to see everything about her.

"Did you find any strange signs?"

"I'm sorry, Maggison, I shouldn't have kept this from you, but it's my own business, and I can handle it alone."

Barbara took a deep breath and tried to turn and run away.

Unexpectedly, Maggison grabbed her from behind, and under the mutual force, Barbara's whole body stuck to Maggison's chest.

Feeling the warmth behind her, Barbara's face turned red instantly.

"Hey, Maggison...you, what do you want?"

"I, I, I, I will sue you for sexual harassment."

McKesson gave a smirk as he lifted Barbara's hair and rested his chin on Barbara's shoulder.

"What does Magison's action mean? He really likes me, right! But why hasn't he told me..."

Barbara couldn't help thinking wildly.

Will her wish for many years finally come true today?

"Barbara, tell me what trouble you're in, maybe you need my help."

Why does McKesson want to contact Rising Tide so much?

Worrying about Barbara was only a small part of the reason, he believed that the oracle couldn't play against the rising tide.

What's more important is the intelligence in the hands of Rising Tide!

What Maggison lacks most at this time is not strength. After all, he can get rewards by stealing treasures, and it is not difficult to improve his strength.

The biggest problem is where Maggison is going to steal the treasure, what kind of treasure he is stealing, and how he can judge the precious level of the treasure.

Inquire about relevant legends?

It is too difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Go to the black market to buy information?

Not worth the expense.

Now Maggison, he doesn't bother to steal other idle treasures.

Precious treasures are relatively easy to obtain during this time in New York. He only knows about space gems and mind gems.

When these two appear, that's when the Chitauri army will attack New York.

During this long period of time, Maggison was ready to make Kaito Kidd disappear temporarily.

Then, Rising Tide came into McKesson's sight.

What this hacker organization likes to do is to collect all kinds of secrets in the world and plan to make them public.

Naturally, they would not miss those magical treasures in the legend.

As long as you destroy the tide organization or go undercover, you can easily get this information.

With Barbara helping, he didn't even need to do too much.

Wouldn't it be flattering to completely save the cost of Maggison's own intelligence gathering?
To be honest, S.H.I.E.L.D. is the best source of information, but it's a pity that Magison has no possibility of joining them.

Maybe it was McKesson's persistence that moved Barbara, or maybe it was for some other reason.

Barbara finally confesses to Magison about her plans to infiltrate Rising Tide.

It turns out that the current Barbara is not yet a full-fledged member of High Tide.

Although her hacking skills have been recognized, of course, this is not the full level of Barbara.

However, Rising Tide seems to have some doubts about Barbara's virtual identity.

But they probably didn't find any real evidence, otherwise they would have cut off all contact with Barbara long ago.

In short, with Barbara's unremitting efforts, she finally gained the trust of the Rising Tide Organization.

She only needs to pass the last test before she can become a full-fledged member of the Rising Tide Organization, which is several grades better than peripheral cannon fodder.

"The final test, where is it, and what do they want you to do?"

McKesson asked curiously.

"I don't know," Barbara shook her head, "They asked me to wait for someone by the road in the suburbs tomorrow evening."

"As for who this person is, what he looks like and how to contact him, they didn't tell me."

interesting.

Waiting for someone to come on the highway means that this person came by car. If you take someone else's car, it will undoubtedly increase the possibility of your exposure.

Maggison was curious about who the Rising Tide would send to test Barbara.

In the evening of the next day, Barbara came to the highway designated by the high tide organization as scheduled.

The location they picked is good, and it's almost impossible for anyone to come at this time.

The surrounding environment can be seen at a glance, and other people cannot be hidden.

Maggison did not follow Barbara, after all, the only person that the Rising Tide organization wanted to test was Barbara.

At this time, Maggison was hiding on a hillside several kilometers away from the road, observing the situation through binoculars and wiretapping devices.

That's right, Maggison installed a bug on Barbara's body, and it was made of special materials that could shield the signals of common detection devices.

Not long after, a modified van drove over from a distance.

Barbara's eyes froze, she was finally going to meet the people from the Rising Tide Organization.

There was only a harsh sound of brakes, and the van stopped in front of Barbara.

Then, a young girl about Barbara's age opened the door and got out of the car.

"Hi, is that Barbara Gunnhild? I'm Skye."

The girl who called herself Skye walked up to Barbara and extended her hand to her with a smile on her face...
