Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

"And, why did Wilson find us so quickly, and how did he leave?" Lucas said, "These are all things worthy of discussion."

"Uh...ah..." Gwen couldn't help but yawned.

When she finished the beating, she realized that everyone was looking at her, and she immediately covered her mouth, "What...what's wrong?"

"How about disbanding today." Lucas said considerately.

"I'm fine." Gwen waved her hand.

"It doesn't matter if you don't force it. What's more, since it's analysis and review, it's not good not to bring Mindy with you. You have to talk to her alone afterwards."

Gwen was convinced, "Okay, let's talk tomorrow."

After saying that, she yawned again. She was indeed very tired.

"Then, see you tomorrow."

Peter and Gwen both left, leaving only Lucas and Hope in the room.

"I have indeed used up a lot of energy today. Go to bed early." Hope returned to his den, his wings covering his head, and there was no movement.

"Ah." Lucas responded.

He covered his heart and turned a little pale.

Logically speaking, after Peter mutated, Lucas was the one with the lowest physical strength among the entire team, but during the entire exploration, he did not feel tired, as if his physical strength was constantly emerging from his limbs.

But now, the stinging pain in his heart told him that nothing had changed.

"You're anxious." Archipald's voice came from beside him.

Lucas looked at the boy with golden eyes and asked softly: "What do you know?"

Regarding his physical problems, Lucas knows best. When he first lived in Gotham, he really couldn't carry it on his shoulders or lift it with his hands. If he hadn't lived in a crime alley, he would have been like that every day. A young master being served by servants in a mansion.

As he grew bigger and bigger, his physique became much better than before, but it was not until today that Lucas discovered that something seemed to be placed in his heart to suppress him.

Who released it and when, he couldn't help but think about it, but he couldn't find any clue.

"You are not ready yet." Archipald said softly with complicated eyes: "Become stronger again. Before that, I will..."

The last note disappeared into the air and he disappeared.

Lucas was a little discouraged. Archipal obviously knew a lot of secrets about him, but what was uncomfortable was that he always half-said something, or simply disappeared.

Once upon a time, there was such a figure standing in front of him to protect him...

Wait, once upon a time?

Lucas' expression became confused again.

A faint sigh spread in the air.

"idiot."

Inside the velvet room.

Eagle looked at Archipal who came back, "Is this really good? Seal his memory again and again."

"I have no intention of hiding it from him for the rest of my life." Archipald's bright golden eyes dimmed slightly, revealing a hint of greenness underneath, "Now it's just a stopgap measure to buy time. He will face it sooner or later, and so will I. .”

"Peter, Gwen, how about lunch."

After arriving at school, Peter and Gwen saw old acquaintances, and Harry was greeting them with a smile.

"Harry!" Peter clenched his fist in surprise and reached out to Harry.

Harry immediately bumped his fist with him, just like before.

Peter gave him another hug, "Are you done with your family affairs?"

"That's it, you'll never be too busy." Harry smiled helplessly.

"Harry was really shocked when he appeared on the podium today." Gwen said, she blinked, "But it was a surprise."

Being so warmly welcomed by his friends, Harry's cheeks turned slightly red and the smile on his face became more genuine.

Since being called back by Norman from Europe, Harry has been meeting with various shareholders of the company and holding countless meetings.

Although Harry is the heir to the Osborne Group, Norman is obviously still young and vigorous, and a man in his forties is the most suitable time. Therefore, in the past, Norman only asked him to focus on his studies and not Not too involved in the group's affairs.

But this time it was different. Norman didn't know what evil was possessed. He didn't care about anything except the company's biological laboratory, and he kept urging and squeezing the scientists in the laboratory.

This made Harry, who was busy taking over the Osborne Group, continue to receive complaints from his subordinates. He, who was already making small mistakes due to his lack of experience, had to accept so many negative emotions, which made Harry Leigh couldn't stand it anymore.

Ever since he was a child, Norman has been controlling his life, but without his father's company at all. The parent-teacher meetings that were only attended by secretaries have become Vanity Fair parent-teacher meetings, and now he has left the company to him, and even Not even an explanation was given to him. Harry had a big fight directly in front of Norman and his customers, and then left the company.

"I'm sorry, the dog is a bit willful." Norman said apologetically.

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter. It's normal for a child to have a temper." The man sitting in front of Norman said with a smile, and he didn't seem to care about the quarrel between the Osbornes and his son just now.

"That's good. I hope this won't affect our cooperation, Mr. Fisk."

On the other hand, Harry left the company and returned to campus feeling relaxed.

"To celebrate, I booked a hotel, and I'm going to have a high night today."

Harry said happily, completely unaware of the possibility of his friends rejecting him.

"...tonight?" Peter hesitated, looking at each other with Gwen.

The two of them stopped talking, causing the smile on Harry's face to fade, "What's wrong?"

"Sorry Harry...it might not work out tonight..." Peter said sheepishly, scratching his head.

Harry pursed his lips and said, "What about tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow too..." Peter's expression became even more embarrassed.

There is nothing we can do about it. The strategy for Wilson Hall is urgent. If Wilson's Hall, the gang leader, can be eliminated earlier, fewer people may be harmed.

Although there is nothing wrong with Peter's idea, the problem is that Harry doesn't know that the long-term negative emotions have made him actually irrational. Peter and Gwen's rejection and the apologies on their faces were all regarded by Harry as Perfunctory.

"I know." Harry said expressionlessly, turned and left.

"Harry?" Peter wanted to call Harry, but Harry didn't look back.

Harry walked all the way to a deserted part of the campus. When he sat alone under a tree, staring blankly at the autumn leaves falling one by one, his heart was filled with loneliness.

He thought he still had friends, but it seemed that he had even lost them.

"...This bread...is not bad..."

Not far away, a familiar voice came intermittently.

Harry couldn't help but walk to where the voice came from. It was indeed the boy he had seen staying with Peter Gwen, Lucas Easton.

"Yeah, it's really good." Hope said with satisfaction.

"By the way, why did you fall asleep on the floor yesterday? When I got up in the morning, you gave me a huge fright!"

When it comes to this, Lucas is also very confused, "Well... I can't remember this clearly."

"Huh? Isn't this happening a lot recently?" Hope couldn't help but say.

"It seems...that's the case." Lucas was silent, indeed several times.

"I'm telling you, this shouldn't be a question of whether it's empty or not. Is there some other problem with your body?"

"Well, I really need a good physical examination." Lucas said, holding his forehead.

While one person and one bird were chatting, a person stood in front of them.

"You are... Harry Osborn." Lucas recognized Harry quickly. Of course he would have an impression of Harry, not to mention the one with Osborn found in Wilson Hall. Group logo of weapons.

"can I help you?"

Apart from being mutual friends of Peter and Gwen, Lucas and Harry had no interaction, and he didn't know why Harry came to see him.

Harry stared at Lucas's calm face and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you proud of yourself?"

Lucas' eyes flashed with confusion, he didn't know what Harry meant by this.

"Sorry? What are you talking about?"

"No need to pretend to be confused here!" Harry said with red eyes, "Are you very proud that you can take Master Osborne's place?"

Now, there are even more small question marks above Lucas' head. What does it mean to replace Harry's position? how? Why didn't he know his last name was Osborne?

"I don't know what you mean," Lucas said.

Harry snorted coldly, not wanting to say anything more to him, and turned around and left.

"What's going on? What's he here for?" Hope asked doubtfully.

"I don't know." Lucas was also surprised.

Harry seemed to be here to give him a blow, but Lucas didn't understand why he did this. Could it be related to Peter and the others?

[Lucas: I just saw little Osborne.

Lucas: He said some really weird things to me.

Lucas: That I took his place or something.

Lucas: Do you have any idea?

Gwen:…

Peter: Ah this. ]

One look at Lucas and it became clear that this was most likely the problem from Peter and the others.

[Lucas: What happened?

Lucas: And why is he at school?

Gwen: Actually we don't know very well, but Harry did come to school.

Peter: Yes, he also invited us to hang out for a night, but don’t we have to go to the temple today? So we refused, but Harry seemed to be very disappointed and left, and he ignored us.

Gwen: I feel like I shouldn’t refuse directly. Harry is unhappy. ]

So that was it, Lucas understood that Harry meant that he had replaced his original position between Peter and Gwen, but...why did he think so?

Peter and Gwen still regard Harry as good friends. There is nothing to replace this. It's not like we can't all be friends together.

Lucas didn't understand Harry's brain wiring.

Hope: "So, that kid regards you as an enemy?"

"I don't know what he thinks." Lucas shrugged, "Maybe it's the desire to be exclusive with his friends."

"It's a bit scary..."

"It doesn't need to be said. Little Osborne probably has very few friends, so he cherishes his two friends, Peter and Gwen." Lucas said helplessly, "But today we have to go to the palace, so The two of them rejected Osborne Jr., and he may have felt that he was not that important in their hearts."

"Is that so..." Hope suddenly realized, "You humans are really complicated."

"Didn't you say that you were human before? Why are you saying that humans are complicated now?"

"This doesn't matter!"

"But I still agree with you on this point. Human beings are indeed very complicated."

"right."

[Lucas: Why don’t you explain this matter to little Osborne yourself.

Lucas: I'm very innocent.

Gwen: Sorry, Lucas.

Peter: Harry, we'll talk about it. ]

Looking at the two people's assurances, Lucas had a bad feeling, "Just don't make it more complicated."

After school, the Phantom Thieves gathered again. Due to the addition of Mindy, the school's rooftop was no longer suitable as a secret base, so everyone came to Lucas' house.

Mindy was sitting on the sofa obediently watching TV. When she saw everyone coming back, she happily said hello, "Hey, we're back."

Lucas asked, "How does it feel?"

Mindy turned her arms, "Hmph, I feel relaxed, there is no problem in fighting!"

"That's good, we will continue to enter Wilson's hall today."

"I understand, I understand." Mindy waved her hand, "Steal his secret treasure and make him repent, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

"Before that, we need to discuss the information found in the hall yesterday. Everyone can speak as they like."

Peter raised his hand first, "The things in the signal tower are very important. They are so important that there are many shadows to guard them. We must know what is inside."

Mindy: "Not long after you entered, Wilson came outside the signal tower. He came with many shadows. He must have known that you were inside, so he wanted to block you inside."

Gwen: "Before we entered the signal tower, no shadow appeared. Instead, we immediately brought people over after entering. I think Wilson must have some kind of ability to monitor the signal tower."

Lucas added: "Yes, and Wilson most likely has the means to come and go in the hall at will. When he was surrounded by a few of us yesterday, he disappeared directly."

"Is there such a thing?" Gwen asked in surprise, and everyone replied in the affirmative.

"Then how are we going to fight?" she said sadly.

"It's my turn now." Hope confidently appeared.

"Huh? Did the bird talk?" Mindy said in surprise.

"Didn't you already know this in the palace?" Hope shouted, "And I'm not a bird!"

"Because in reality you are just a bird." Mindy whispered.

"That's not it!"
