Comic: Becoming a Phantom Thief to Steal Hearts

As Harry wakes up, the Phantom Thieves in the palace begin to concentrate on dealing with the black giant dog, and the real world outside the palace is also extremely lively.

To the general public, the name of the Phantom Thieves only became famous when they issued a teaser letter to Wilson. Despite calling themselves Phantom Thieves, the things the Phantom Thieves steal are actually quite abstract.

How can the desires of the human heart be stolen?

People see that the campus football star is actually a bully, a gang leader hiding under the appearance of a philanthropist. What kind of person is Norman Osborn this time?

Although there are mixed reviews and opinions on the Phantom Thieves, people are indeed curious and secretly looking forward to it.

Norman's high-profile hope for police protection has indeed attracted more attention.

"The Phantom Thieves who steal desires?" Steve held the phone carefully and looked at the latest hot topics on it, with a confused expression on his face.

"Hey, will the captain also pay attention to these news?" Clinton looked at Steve curiously.

"Ah, I heard a lot of people discussing it during morning training, so I couldn't help but look at it curiously."

Steve operated the smartphone awkwardly, which was a bit difficult for people in the last century. Finally, Steve gave up and put the phone on the table and said frustratedly, "Oh, I still don't get used to this little one." Stuff.”

"Haha, it's okay Captain, you will get used to it in the future." Clinton said with a smile, "There are still many new things in this era."

But when he heard what he said, Steve just sighed silently. Although he had been used as a propaganda target of the American spirit during his sleep, Steve himself was still stuck in the era of being a soldier. He was not interested in the convenience and speed of modern life. Steve often felt a little overwhelmed.

"Heh, don't count on this old popsicle." Tony said lazily, holding a glass of red wine.

"However, this Phantom Thieves group is quite interesting." Natasha crossed her legs and looked at the information on the screen with interest.

Tony snorted, "Would that guy Fury not be interested in mental abilities?"

"Are you interested, or not..." Natasha extended her tone smoothly, and her slightly hoarse tail tone was lazy and seductive, with no trace of her own emotions at all.

Looking at this beautiful agent, Tony curled his lips. Natasha knew very well what kind of talent she had and was good at using it. Even he, who had read countless people, was seduced by Natasha when he first met her. arrive.

"Will they join us?" Dr. Banner asked calmly.

As a former wanted criminal, Dr. Banner actually didn't have a good impression of SHIELD. He only joined the Avengers because of Natasha's persuasion and because he was really tired of hiding around like this.

According to rumors on the Internet, Dr. Banner is very interested in the abilities of the Phantom Thieves. If the rumors are true, then I wonder if the abilities of the Phantom Thieves will have an effect on the Hulk in his body.

"I think Fury is indeed quite interested." Clinton picked up the cookie on the plate and put it in his mouth, "And in terms of behavior, they are not bad people, right?"

"Ha, I think the gentlemen in Congress are extremely scared when they see someone with such ability." Tony said rather venomously.

"Ahaha, don't say that in front of them." Clinton said with a dry smile.

No matter what, he was paid by the government. Unlike Tony, who was wealthy, and Natasha and Banner, who were alone, Clinton still had his family to support.

"I'm too lazy to argue with those idiots whose brains are stained with lard." Tony said disdainfully.

Then who spent the whole afternoon arguing with congressmen in Congress last time...Clinton cursed.

This is the biggest difference between the Avengers and the Justice League. Their members have their own positions, and the government is involved a lot. Most of the time, they are not as pure as the Justice League. But there is nothing you can do about it. Maybe this is the price of gaining power. .

Although they cooperated very happily and had a tacit understanding, this natural difference in attitude often made Tony feel regretful. What he had to admit was... they got along pretty well.

Maybe he should have been as low-key as his childhood sweetheart from the beginning, but... thinking of how bitter and resentful he was now, Tony felt that it was better to do things based on his own heart.

Tony, who returned to the laboratory, remembered what he had just discussed with the Avengers.

"The Phantom Thieves...?" He tapped on the table, "Jarvis, collect information about the Phantom Thieves."

"Okay, sir."

The conscientious Mr. Artificial Intelligence quickly collected information about the Phantom Thieves from the Internet.

"OK, let me see who you are."

Most of the information about the Phantom Thieves comes from a communication forum. From Tony's critical point of view, this forum is... very immature.

Yes, the people who created this forum were of average skill, but this forum was the first place where rumors about the Phantom Thieves appeared, and the Phantom Thieves would also receive commissions on it.

Looking at those thank-you posts, Tony didn't feel happy, but instead felt a chill rising from his heart.

Collecting enough intelligence from thousands of posts and analyzing them, Tony easily understood the way the Phantom Thieves behaved.

A criminal organization that has tampered with people's hearts without permission.

Yes, Tony's evaluation of the Phantom Thieves is a criminal organization. From these few words, he got a glimpse of the terrifying ability of the Phantom Thieves. They can directly distort people's minds without knowing it.

Even if they are doing good things now, what about the future? People's hearts are unpredictable. What if they change their original intentions and wantonly use their abilities to do bad things? The world knows nothing about them, who can discover them? Who can stop it?

Conspiracy theories kept lingering in Tony's mind, and he inevitably became anxious.

There are too many dangers in the world that he cannot fully understand, but he cannot protect everyone.

An idea appeared in this brilliant brain.

"...Maybe I should build a super AI to protect humans?" Tony murmured.

This idea is still very vague now, because Tony thinks of a blue figure-Superman. He has to admit that Superman is now the strongest fighting force on the earth, even with the fatal weakness of kryptonite.

If you build something that can't compare to Superman, then there's no need to build it.

Tony put his thoughts to the bottom of the box for the time being. For him, figuring out the true identity of the Phantom Thieves is the most urgent task at the moment.

The clues are very clear now. A forum where the Phantom Thieves were first circulated, a forum where the only place where the Phantom Thieves might get feedback if they ask for help, then the person who established the forum is suspicious enough.

"Show me your true face."

Tony began to invade the forum. He originally thought this was a very easy task, but he encountered unimaginable obstruction.

Tony frowned, "This method... feels damn familiar."

Isn't this the dark defense system?

Tony looked confused. Since Batman protected this forum, it meant that he knew the identity of the Phantom Thieves and recognized them.

As both super rich people, the Stark and Wayne families have known each other a generation ago. The cooperation also allowed the two children in the family to get to know each other, and Tony also had a friend of the same age.

It has to be said that Bruce Wayne at that time was still a little sweetheart, completely different from Tony who had been very talkative since he was a child, and Tony had a good impression of this child, even though Tony at that time had already shown his ability in scientific research. Talent, and at that time Bruce Wayne was just a slightly smarter kid, but who made Tony an out-and-out face control?

The change of events was the sudden death of Mr. and Mrs. Wayne.

After learning the tragic news, Tony came to Gotham with his parents immediately. The little prince of Gotham held a black umbrella and silently watched his parents being buried with dull blue eyes, as silent as if his own heart was also buried. It's like they left together.

Tony was not good at comforting people, and a teenager couldn't say anything nice, so he just looked at Bruce silently and swore in his heart that he would protect him.

It's just that Tony didn't expect that just a few years later, he would encounter exactly the same thing as Bruce. When he hurriedly held a funeral for his parents and hurriedly took over the Stark Group, he finally understood how Bruce felt at that time.

But when Tony finally stabilized the Stark Group, he learned that Bruce had traveled around the world. And later...Tony refused that the tall and strong man behind was Bruce's sweetheart! He also refused to admit the terrible fact that he only discovered that his childhood sweetheart was Batman after becoming Iron Man!

Then again, although Tony was saddened by Bruce's growth and strongly disapproved of him plunging back into the mud pit of Gotham, Tony still trusted Bruce's ability in his heart. If the Phantom Thieves had fallen into Bruce's eyes, then In all likelihood, he no longer had to worry about them.

Just when Tony invaded the Phantom Thieves Forum, the alarm that Tim had not responded to for a long time rang, which suddenly woke up the little red bird who had been drowsy all night.

Patting his cheek, Tim sat in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard with his nimble fingers.

When Tony invaded the forum, he was like a robber entering the country. He left his traces carelessly. It didn't take much effort for Tim to know who was attacking his protection system.

"Uncle Tony..." Tim couldn't help but hold his forehead.

With Tim's intelligence, he could clearly deduce the ins and outs of the matter in just a few seconds.

Tim looked at the heated discussion about the Phantom Thieves on the Internet and couldn't help but sigh and muttered: "Lucas's character would not choose such a public form, so the step of this notice letter is inevitable? Is it really possible? It’s troublesome enough.”

Tim knew very well that it was only a matter of time before Tony's ability could break through his defense system, and the reason why he retreated was entirely because Tim used the Batcave's defense system.

He had long known that the way the Phantom Thieves acted would attract Tony's attention sooner or later, so he chose to do this. It was impossible for Tony not to recognize that this was Batman's defense system. Given the relationship between the two families, Tony would most likely give up on cracking the defense system.

Although everything was going according to Tim's arrangement, he was not happy at the moment because he had calculated and deceived Tony's trust in Bruce. It was clear that Bruce did not know about Lucas, but he trusted Lucas with Tony. Marked by Batman.

Knowing that this is wrong, why can I not hesitate when making a decision?

Tim had doubts about himself, and he was almost successfully attacked by Damian when he was not in a good mood.

The tip of the knife swiped across the young man's arm, causing a stream of blood to rise.

At the moment when he was evading to the limit, Tim saw the child close at hand and his eyes widened in surprise.

If Tim didn't dodge this blow, his arm would be cut off directly.

Damian from the League of Assassins frowned and put away the knife, and asked coldly: "Drake, do you want to die?"

Tim just glanced at his bleeding arm. The former rich man, after two years of Robin training, could not care less about such an injury.

He just patted the dust on his body and said, "I don't have such thoughts."

"Hmph, what's the difference between being distracted in front of me and seeking death?" Damian sneered.

Tim's movements paused.

Although since Damian came to this home, this child who grew up in the Assassin League has been targeting him.

It's not that Tim can't understand Damian's thoughts, because his physical arts teacher, Mrs. Siwa, is also a member of the Assassin's League, so he more or less understands the brain circuits of the people inside.

Damian is Bruce's blood, and Bruce also values ​​this child, so Tim chooses to tolerate it again and again, but...it won't be very pleasant to provoke him when he is not in a very happy mood.

Tim's role as Robin also relied on his own efforts to gain recognition from Bruce, who suffered from PTSD after losing Jason.

He looked at Damian condescendingly, "Really... Then I would like to ask you, have you had enough trouble?"

"……what?"

Tim raised his lips and said sarcastically: "Didn't you hear me clearly? I'm asking you, have you had enough trouble? You have been here for a while, don't you still know Bruce's character? I know what you are thinking, It's nothing more than killing me and taking my place as Robin. But, have you ever thought that if you really kill me, will Bruce still accept your existence? When Bruce forbids you from killing, you should realize It’s come to this point.”

Damian didn't speak, looking thoughtful, but Tim didn't intend to continue communicating with him.

"Think about it." He turned and left.

Educating children is something Bruce should consider. Tim doesn't want to worry about thinking about how to kill his brother every day, unless he has Lucas's personality.
