Becoming a Phantom Thief from the World of American Comics.

Chapter 218 A new Phantom Thief appears in Gotham!

"Hey, Bulb Head, you continue to stay with O'Kilwe, try to gain his trust, and tell me everything he does, even if it's just some insignificant details."

In the sewers, Penguin gave his final order to Mr. Combustible.

"Understood, boss."

Mr. Combustible nodded heavily.

Then the two of them separated and stayed away from the sewer.
-
Cassandra's safe house, in the basement.

"No, no, you can't look at your hand when cutting the cards. You have to look at the audience very naturally, or look at any corner. In short, don't look at the hand that cuts the cards."

Dean looked at Cassandra who was practicing changing cards and corrected her.

"No, that's not right either. You can't just change your gaze. The point is not there, but in your eyes. You can't show too obvious fluctuations, and you can't let people see that you are guilty or cunning. You have to be more confident and natural. a little……"

"You also need to be more flexible in your thinking. Don't imitate my movements one by one. That is meaningless. You have to do what I say, not what I do. Do you understand?"

Looking at Dean's correction and guidance, Cassandra scratched her head in confusion.

Dean helplessly put his hand on his forehead. He felt that he was asking too much.

Ever since Dean persuaded Cassandra to stay with him for a while that night, Dean began to give her some simple special training.

After all, as a Phantom Thief's assistant, it would be unreasonable if he didn't even have the skills that a Phantom Thief should have.

However, this special training situation is slightly complicated.

Due to Cassandra's extremely superior fighting talent, her body control ability is very good, and she can learn any technique easily, even very difficult magic techniques.

In just a few days, Cassandra's skills were no less than those of a professional magician.

However, in the world of magic, technique is only one component after all. It is only the lower limit to measure the level of a magician. Acting skills, wisdom, observation, psychological games, and innovative ideas are what distinguish ordinary magicians from top magicians. division indicators.

Of course, Dean could not apply this standard to Cassandra, and her identity was not that of a magician.

Dean only needs to develop her acting skills and simple psychological games. She doesn't need to be particularly proficient. She just needs to avoid being seen through in a short period of time.

But in this area, Cassandra's learning progress is too slow, not even as fast as the progress of ordinary people with zero basic knowledge.

"The lack of common sense in life and over-reliance on interpreting the body have made Kashan only 'understand' but unable to 'execute' some techniques that require misleading others' psychology..."

Dean thought as he held his chin.

"Think about it, with such a past, it's amazing that she can do what she is now. I shouldn't be too harsh on Kashan."

Looking at Cassandra who was still immersed in practicing, Dean suddenly said: "Stop it first, Cassandra."

Cassandra glanced back at Dean in confusion.

"It's almost 08:30 now and we haven't had dinner yet."

Dean flashed his hand and said.

"It's too late to cook at this time. Let's go out to eat."

Cassandra originally wanted to say that she wasn't very hungry, but Dean didn't give her a chance to refuse. He took her hand and walked out.

"By the way, let's change our clothes before going out."

When Dean said changing clothes, he meant changing into normal casual clothes, not disguising himself.Even though Dean seems to often put on a disguise before going out, it is to prepare for the action in advance. It is impossible for him to disguise himself even if he goes out for a meal.

Dean's true identity has not yet been exposed, so he doesn't have to be careful wherever he goes like other wanted criminals.

And if Dean himself never appears in the city, it would be even more suspicious. How can anyone stay at home their whole life without going out or socializing?
Unless there is some mental illness, even a severely dead house will see the sun sometimes.

Even if there is a very small possibility that Dean and Cassandra meet Dick, Barbara or Bruce by chance, there will be no problem. After all, everyone already knows them. If they are more familiar with each other, That can be considered a friend.

At least in the current view of the Bat Family, only Bruce cares about Cassandra for some unexplainable reasons, but it is far from reaching the point where he needs to be vigilant.

It is impossible for others to suspect that there is anything wrong with Dean and Cassandra walking together.

Therefore, Dean took Cassandra to a restaurant not far from here very naturally, generously and without any worries.

Meanwhile, in Old Town Gotham, the City Hall building.

Today, this unknown mayor of Gotham, after finishing his work for the day, got into the driver's car and returned home.

Like every previous mayor, the current mayor is also a corrupt official who has made countless fortunes. He not only bought the top mansions in Gotham Villa District, but also collected a large number of rare treasures, many of which include world-class gems.

The most precious one is called the "Eye of the Sky". It is a rare bluestone in the world. It has a beautiful appearance and is extremely valuable.

The current mayor is also different from his predecessors in that although he is greedy, he is not greedy for all money.

Not because he still has a weak conscience in his heart, but because he is afraid of Batman.

There have been several Gotham mayors who lost their official titles and were imprisoned because Batman found key criminal evidence.

The current mayor doesn't want to make the same mistake again. He knows where Batman's bottom line is, so he tries not to touch that bottom line.

Batman is not a person who can't rub dirt in his eyes. He has never expected Gotham's government system to produce any good officials.

As long as he doesn't get too presumptuous and hangs out directly with gangsters or super criminals, Batman usually won't trouble the mayor. If he's greedy for money, just be greedy for money.

"Master, no, it's not good!"

The current mayor returned home and as soon as he got out of the car, he noticed that the atmosphere at home was a little strange.

As usual, Butler Rogers, who would greet him at the door every time he came back, also ran over with panic on his face.

Running and shouting that something bad happened.

"Calm down, Rogers, what happened?"

The mayor was confused by the strange situation at home and asked quickly.

"Master, you...your most beloved Zhe Ai Blue Stone is being targeted!"

With worry written all over Rogers' face, he took out a strange black card from his arms and handed it to the mayor.

The mayor took the card with a puzzled look on his face. After briefly glancing at it, his expression suddenly changed.

"Tonight at 33:[-] in the morning, I will visit your mansion and take away the dazzling Eye of the Sky.

Yours sincerely, Phantom Thief Black Crow"

　Sorry, this chapter was unfortunately blocked before, and the plot written later was also deleted. Therefore, some readers who saw the chapter before the blocking may find that a lot of content is missing in the second half. The starting currency is only seven points, but it has been modified now. It’s over, I’m not making excuses, Yuzi has screenshots to prove it.As we all know, the starting point is to collect one point for every two hundred words, so two thousand words are ten points. Sharp-eyed readers should be able to find that only seven points are collected from the 2094 words in this chapter. This is because hundreds of words have been deleted for shielding, although it is now revised. The ban has been lifted, but the charge is still based on the original deleted word count, which is equivalent to spending [-] points to watch [-] points of content.
