Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 37 The Unspeakable Suffering of Maggison

"I think Kaito Kid may not be stealing gems for money."

Roxy said so.

"What's that for? Stealing from the rich to support the poor?"

"You think Phantom Thief Kidd wants to be Arsen Robin?"

Eggsy asked differently, "Well, I admit that his clothes are indeed similar to Robin, and he did help the Pamela family in the golden-green cat's eye incident."

"But, you also said it was the second time, so what about the first Adam Star?"

Hearing this, Roxie was silent for a moment, then typed a few times on the keyboard.

"After Adam's Star was stolen, there is only one piece of information that can be found, that is, Wilson Fisk in New York bought it for a sky-high price of [-] million U.S. dollars."

"As for where he bought it, no one knows, and no one knows how the Kaitou Kidd sold it to him."

Here I have to praise Penguin's rules. The level of confidentiality of the Bingshan Exchange is frighteningly high. I am afraid that the military's transaction encryption is not as good as his.

That's why it can become one of the largest black markets in the United States.

Moreover, even if something happened one day, people would only think that there was a secret deal between Kaito Kidd and Fisk, and they would not suspect him.

Earn the price difference safely and securely, earn tens of millions of dollars easily every day, and don't need to pay any responsibility.

If Penguin disclosed the transaction himself, not to mention offending both the buyer and the seller, and possibly exposing the exchange, he would not be able to achieve what he is today.

In many cases, villains tend to speak more credibility than good guys.

Not because of their good character, but because they can gain greater benefits in this way.

A good reputation or a bad reputation, it all depends on which one can bring the greatest benefits, and they will choose which one to preserve.

That's the wisdom of Gotham's mob bosses.

As for some people who doubt whether the Penguin will take the initiative to expose the customer's transaction situation, they are really worried about their IQ.

He deserved to be a low-level character for the rest of his life.

Therefore, no matter how Roxie traced the transaction records, she couldn't find any information about the Bingberg Exchange.

"Two hundred million!"

Eggsy exclaimed, "Sold at such a high price, and you said he wasn't doing it for money?"

"Let me ask you, what would you do if you suddenly had a huge sum of [-] million U.S. dollars?"

Roxy asked.

"Then what else to do, of course nothing!"

Eggsy said of course.

"Then why does Kaito Kid keep stealing gems?"

Eggsy froze.

"Just half a month after Fisk bought Adam's Star, all nursing homes, orphanages, and schools in Gotham City received anonymous donations one after another, and the total amount exceeded 3000 million US dollars. The source of the anonymized information is different, from all over the world, but using the same ID name."

"This shows that Phantom Thief Kidd is still a brilliant hacker. At least with my technology, I can't find out where he is, and I just contacted Merlin. He can only guarantee that Phantom Thief Kidd is in Gotham, and he can't go any further. gone."

At this point, everything Roxie wanted to say has been said.

"Merlin's hacking skills are already considered top-notch in the world. If he can't find it, then there are not many people in the world who can crack it."

In fact, Maggison himself is not very good at this, but he has Barbara as his childhood sweetheart, and he has been fascinated by it for more than ten years. Breaking through other people's firewalls may be difficult, but hiding his IP address from being found by others is not a big problem.

McGison donated so much of the 3000 million US dollars that he exchanged from the Penguin with Star Adam, and only left [-] million US dollars after buying the villa. This is after careful consideration.

On the surface, the strange thief looks glamorous, unrestrained and unrestrained, and treats money like dung, but Maggison will know that this is not a comfortable job until he actually does it.

Let’s take the coolest gliding as an example. As we all know, Gotham is a city near the sea, with many inland rivers and a large temperature difference between day and night. To meet the requirements of gliding, it must be at least 50 meters above the ground.

The ancients said that the heights are extremely cold!

Wearing such a thin Phantom Thief suit in the middle of the night and blowing in the sky, the feeling is really indescribably sour.

Don't believe me, try it yourself!

The last time I swam in the icy sea for more than an hour, I was considered to be in good health if I didn't freeze to death.

There is also the puzzle on the notice letter, which was figured out after racking my brain all day and killing an unknown number of brain cells. If this continues, I might become bald.

There are countless other invisible pains that need to be endured.

And all of this is just for the pretense of less than ten minutes or even a few minutes... Bah, in order to complete a wonderful performance.

It is really risking his life to perform. McGison knows that the degree of danger in the world of American comics is far beyond that of Conan's world. Even the most ordinary policeman, no matter what, Officer Zhongsen will not really shoot Kidd. But Gordon would never hesitate to shoot and kill this criminal who defied the law.

Therefore, McKesson was very cautious, never revealing his real body before causing a commotion, but often borrowing fakes to attract attention.

The equipment and props is the biggest problem for Maggison. His family is not the Kuroba family. He does not have the wealth accumulated by a world-class magician in half his life. Most of them went to pay high tuition fees.

If it weren't for the orphans who can receive subsidies from the government and the Wayne Charitable Fund, Maggison might not even be able to afford the fabric for Kidd's clothes.

In order not to be caught, Kidd's clothes had to be made by Maggison himself. After all, it is impossible to be suspected even for buying a piece of white cloth, right?

It is worth mentioning that the government's subsidy can only be successfully received with Gordon's help, otherwise it would be another orphan, I am afraid...

Special playing cards, poker guns, flash bombs, smoke bombs, gunpowder...

He has no power and power, so it would be great if he could find a way to buy these contraband, and the price would have to be doubled.

In Gotham, the car overturned due to a little carelessness. How could McGison, who was still a rookie, have the capital to be picky?

The most painful thing is disguised clothing. All kinds of clothing for men, women, and children must be prepared. For high-end suits worth tens of thousands of dollars a piece, and low-end welfare clothes worth 9.9 dollars for two pieces, you must reserve one or two. files for emergencies.

Also have to randomly shop for new clothes based on the actual situation, which usually won't be a bargain.

The base camp is even more in short supply. Hiding things at home is the most stupid behavior. Thanks to Magison's quick transfer, otherwise Barbara would have discovered the clues by now.

To sum up, Maggison is really poor, otherwise he would not have sold Star Adam, anyway, Wayne's family has a lot of money.

If it didn't have such a little commemorative significance, I would really look down on this ugly thing that is useless except for being big.

This reason is indeed vulgar, and it is indeed not compelling, and it does not even meet the identity of a strange thief, but if he does not do this, Magison will not be able to do this job.

But if you don't do this, you won't get rewards from the system, and you will lose the only way to become stronger. In this world, you can only entrust your own destiny to others.

This is something Magison is absolutely unwilling to accept!
But having said that, McGison's conscience was a little painful after all, so he weighed it and left 3000 million US dollars for himself, and used the rest to donate, which can be regarded as doing something practical.

Time passed quickly, and the time for the banquet to start was approaching.

McKesson and Barbara were leaving just in time.

Along the way, Barbara held on to Maggison's hand, as if afraid that he would suddenly disappear.

Maggison couldn't help shaking his head and laughing secretly. Today is not the time to do it yourself, why are you so nervous?
