Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics.

Chapter 147 Shocked!Phantom Thief Kidd pretends to be Match Malone for...

Dean enters the Iceberg Casino disguised as Matchstick Malone, and makes a $3000 million bet with the Penguin.

This is how it happened?
That's it for last month's Stone of Doom event.

From Dean's point of view, the Stone of Doom is another plot against him by the Penguin.

And this calculation is far more dangerous and secretive than the previous dragon egg ruby ​​incident.

If it wasn't because Dean faintly sensed that something was wrong, and deliberately disguised himself as Batman to press Curator Offee, he might have been plotted unknowingly.

Although there is a system that can guarantee that Dean will not die under the curse of bad luck for no apparent reason, it is extremely vicious for Penguin to exchange the cursed gem for the real gem and let Dean steal it on purpose.

If the system does not have the effect of being immune to curses, then Dean may be in trouble.

This also made Dean realize that the feud between himself and the Penguin was getting bigger and bigger, and gradually began to be irreconcilable.

But he didn't quite understand why the Penguin hated Kaitou Kidd so much?
It's not that Dean doesn't understand the principle that stealing people's money is like killing their parents, but that this insistence that Kidd must be killed doesn't fit his understanding of Penguin.

Batman caused much more property damage to Penguin than Kaitou Kidd, and Penguin didn't say that he would persevere in killing Batman. People can distinguish between pros and cons.

The Penguin forced the Chandler family to take out the family gems, and hired the super thug Firefly, but in the end he still didn't kill the Kaitou Kidd. Generally speaking, this is about the same.

In the end, not only did it not stop, but a stone of doom came and continued to plot.

You know, in the world of Gotham, there is rarely that kind of endless hatred, not to mention that one of the things Penguin is best at is turning enemies into friends.

To be honest, at first Dean imagined that the Penguin would spend a lot of money to recruit himself, but the result proved that the ideal is full and the reality is very skinny.

Don't talk about recruiting with a lot of money now, thank God when the high bounty of Kaito Kidd in the underground world can be withdrawn.

Dean is not a temperless person. If the Penguin plotted against him so many times, if he didn't take revenge, would he still be called someone?
Not to mention that he will perform in front of Batman soon, and if the Penguin messes up something secretly, Dean doesn't have so much energy to be distracted and guard against him.

So, while preparing the action plan for the Cavaliers Stadium, Dean also took time to pay attention to the Penguin side.

Then he discovered that the whereabouts of the Penguin were a bit strange recently. The Penguin who had been sitting in the Iceberg Club all year round actually started to switch bases, and only occasionally appeared in the Iceberg Club, as if he was hiding from someone.

There is not much basis, but Dean vaguely feels that it has something to do with the Stone of Doom in his hand. Maybe Penguin guessed through some signs that he is not afraid of the curse of bad luck, so he is worried that Dean will use the Stone of Doom to retaliate against him.

At first Dean really had this idea, but then he thought again, this stone of doom was bought by the Penguin, and the container that can block the leakage of the curse was also bought by the Penguin, which means that the medium of blocking the curse is not good for the Penguin. Said to be something that can be easily obtained.

Then, knowing that the enemy might come to assassinate him with the Stone of Doom, Dean believed that Penguin would definitely buy similar things to protect himself as soon as possible.

Moreover, the curse of the Stone of Doom will be spread by touching each other, and it will stop spreading only when people die. If one is not careful, it may lead to huge consequences, so Dean gave up using the Stone of Doom to take revenge on the Penguin. idea.

But this does not mean that Dean will allow the Penguin to plot against him unilaterally and will not fight back. Long before Bruce held a press conference to challenge Kidd, Dean had been looking for opportunities to sneak into the major organizations under the influence of the Penguin Gang. industry.

Various monitors and bugs have been installed in places including but not limited to Iceberg Casino, Iceberg Club, Iceberg Restaurant, and Iceberg Hotel.

It didn't take long before Dean got some interesting news.

That's when Ogilvy came to the Iceberg Casino and asked the casino broker to use the Kaitou Kidd to start a gamble, and said that this was what the Penguin meant.

Dean didn't expect that he could eat melons secretly.

He immediately realized that there were many things that could be manipulated in this gamble.

So Dean planned to let Penguin have a good bleed. He anticipated everything that happened in the casino before.

That's right, the whole process from "Match Marlon" jumping out suddenly to betting against Penguin was all in Dean's expectation.

He is not so confident that he can escape Batman's eyes 100%, but he has a secret weapon specially prepared for Batman.

Of course, the best result is that you don't need to use that.

The Penguin family has a big business, and 3000 million is actually not much, but after losing so much money for no reason, Dean doesn't believe that he is not hurt.

The only thing that is a little bit out of Dean's control is the Penguin getting rid of the casino broker without saying a word.

The death of the casino broker had something to do with Match Malone's opening, but if Dean felt particularly guilty, he really wasn't.

Not because he was cold-blooded, but because he had checked the background of the casino brokers.

The whole family of this guy is not a good person. He works for the Penguin himself, and his hands are very dirty, and his wife is a pimp. Many years ago, she was in prison for buying and selling young girls, and she was just released a few years ago.

As for the manager's two sons, one is a gangster's bill collector, and the other is selling fans.

Don't be surprised, this kind of family structure is quite common in the East Side of Gotham. At least nine out of ten families are all criminals.

As for why Dean would disguise himself as Matchstick Malone.

It's not because he thinks Matchstick Malone has any mysterious identity, but because Matchstick Malone has a characteristic compared to other Gotham criminals, that is, he often disappears.

Match Ma Long has an arrogant personality, but his usual style is actually very low-key, and he rarely shows up. He also likes to go on vacation all over the world, and his whereabouts are erratic. Even his younger brother sometimes does not know where he is.

Since several months ago, Match Malone didn't know where he went, and no one knew when he would come back.

Dean thought about it, and it seemed that there was no more suitable camouflage object than this one.

Then there is nothing to say, just do it when you think of it, he dressed up according to Match Malone's usual clothes, and then put on a mask, it was perfect.

The sound and basic information can be obtained from the videotapes and files of Match Malone imprisoned ten years ago in GCPD. Anyway, these old materials in the evidence room of the GCPD archives room are not guarded at all, and it is not difficult for Dean to take it away. No.

In this way, Dean bet against Penguin, even if he was caught by Batman in the end, he would still lose money from Match Malone. What does it have to do with Dean?
In addition, he also got a promise from the Penguin that he would not interfere with Kidd the Phantom Thief at the Cavaliers Stadium, and that he would keep everyone else in Gotham from making trouble.

Let Dean not have to think about other things and concentrate on fighting Batman, wouldn't it serve multiple purposes?
　Funny complaints, this book has been filled with milky positive energy
