Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics

Chapter 201: The Final Trailer of Phantom Kid

BONUS Chapter brought to you by KingSpy, enjoy!

Talia led the shadow warriors to the street where the statue was located. At this time, countless subordinates have surrounded this place and the whole street was full of Talia’s men. 

“What happened here?” 

Talia questioned the subordinates here with a gloomy face. 

But no one dared to answer, they just made way for Talia to head directly to the four statues. 

There was a square entrance to the passage in the center of the statue, a ramp extending infinitely downwards, and looking down; it was bottomless. 

The entire passage was wrapped in some super-strong alloy that cannot be destroyed by a nuclear explosion. 

Seeing this scene, Talia’s face became more and more serious. 

Of course, she knows what’s down here, and once examining the directions only a bit, it’s easy to see that the ramp is directly facing the Wayne Building! 

That’s right, the endpoint of this passage is an underground laboratory established by Wayne Enterprises, which was originally a pilot for experiments on the reactor, not another one built by Talia. 

As for the statue mechanism that was obviously set up recently. It was just that the Riddler replaced the original opening method of the passage, but no one has discovered the secret of the statue. 

Neither did Bain nor Talia… the hideout was certainly near them.

Nominally, Bane let only the Riddler arrange the hiding place of the nuclear bomb, and even he himself did not know how many riddles the Riddler placed to uncover it. 

Although this is true, 

The mere fact that Bane wasn’t suspicious of Talia didn’t mean that this latter would follow their agreement. 

The Riddler is very shrewd, and it is difficult for ordinary shadow warriors to hide from him. 

That’s why Talia decided to direct the battle at Wayne Mansion herself, in order to see where the Riddler would hide the fusion reactor. 

When four trucks took the fusion reactor away from the Wayne Building, Nigma didn’t allow anyone to watch which truck he chose, and the guys responsible for loading the reactor were shot and killed on the spot. 

The monitor in the garage was also vandalized prematurely by the Riddler. 

It was true that there was no possibility of guessing the location, but he ignored Talia who was hiding in the shadows. 

So Talia naturally knew the Riddler’s overall plan, and also lamented the Riddler’s familiarity with Wayne’s corporate layout. 

Talia did not know that this laboratory, located in the underground of Wayne Building, existed at first. After all, it was only one of many underground experimental labs, or at least, the kind that was used only a few times. 

She didn’t expect Riddler to know much about it. 

“Miranda” is a shareholder of Wayne Enterprises! 

It is clear that Arkham’s patients are largely aware of the structure of the Wayne Building.

The Riddler, who was kept in the dark, thought that he was the only one who knew about his plan. 

Using three vans as smoke bombs, with all sorts of elusive riddles, has to be said to be a very effective plan, and so far everyone in Gotham has been confused. 

But the scene in front of Talia made her realise that someone had cracked the Riddler’s mechanism. 

Who will this person be? 

Batman? Iron Man? S.H.I.E.L.D.? Or Phantom Kid? 

In the next second, Talia’s question was answered. 

A white card was lying quietly on the floor in front of the passage. 

She picked it up and looked at it. 

“Today’s action is nothing more than a stomping ground, the real show will have to wait until tomorrow night, and I’m sorry to disappoint the audience now and make you all happy for nothing. 

Sincerely, Phantom Kid.” 

Tomorrow night? 

As soon as she thought about this, she recalled that tomorrow is the day of the full moon! 

Phantom Kid actually, according to the notice, will steal the nuclear bomb on the night of the full moon! 

What’s even more frightening is that he actually found the location of the nuclear bomb the day before the night of the full moon, and left the final notice. 

Wasn’t he afraid that she would transfer the nuclear bomb right away?

Not at all. 

Although the size of the passage is only wide enough to allow the truck to drive down, it was not necessary to think about the space below. The truck cannot turn around, which means that there is no way to transport the nuclear bomb up through the truck. 

With the weight of the fusion reactor, it is even more impossible to carry it up by hand. 

Talia crushed the card into a ball with a blank expression, and after throwing it on the ground, she didn’t forget to step on it several times. 

Around Talia, her subordinates watched her furious expression and couldn’t help but shudder. 

No one dared to speak. 

“Now, all of you scram! You must remain at least three blocks away! No one is allowed to step on this block without my permission!” 

It didn’t take long for Talia to look around in place and roar at her minions. 

“No, even with my permission, you aren’t allowed to come here!” 

At this moment, Talia has listed Phantom Kid as the most difficult enemy she has ever encountered in her life. She knows that the more people there are, the greater Kid’s advantage. 

Talia had seen Kid’s disguise technique and suffered a big loss from it, so she knew that her ordinary subordinates couldn’t stop Phantom Kid. 

Instead of letting them stay here to provide Kid with material for his disguise, it’s better to send these people to seal the road and block the surrounding area. 

The only people Talia can rely on are the shadow warriors trained by her. 

Compared with her countless minions, shadow warriors are very shrewd. 

There are only seven shadow warriors in total, and they are equipped with cold weapons. 

Some use katanas, those who use knightly swords, those who use bows and arrows, those who use daggers, and those who use throwing weapons… 

There were all kinds of weapons.

The only weapons they did not have were guns. 

Shadow warriors, specializing in various fighting skills, have a lot of combat expertise. 

Talia looked at the seven… disciples she had taught with all her energy, and finally felt a little bit more at ease. 

Shadow warriors stayed with her all the time, so there was no worry about Kid disguising among them. 

“You four, protect this place and don’t allow anyone to enter the passage, including me and Bane!” 

Talia ordered four of the shadow warriors. 

According to her previous experience, briefly fighting with Mathison, Kid’s fighting power surpasses hers by only a bit. 

She estimated in her mind that three shadow warriors should be enough to subdue him, but she still arranged one more to be extra safe. 

At the same time, she also contacted Bane and the Riddler. 

After thinking for a moment, Bane decided to let Hannibal and the Riddler support this side to prevent Kid from stealing the nuclear bomb. 

Moreover, hearing that all the mechanisms of his own design have been cracked, the Riddler was now extremely irritated. He set off without Bane having to ask.

Although they didn’t know how Phantom Kid would steal the terrifying fusion reactor by himself, there must be no shortage of precautions from their side. 

“As for the three of you, join me now and set off for the Eastern District to spy on Black Mask.” 

The nuclear bomb must be protected, and the war with Black Mask and GCPD must continue. 

The Penguin is watching, what would happen if Bane suddenly broke his promise? 

What if he wanted the nuclear bomb after knowing what Phantom Kid was doing? 

Talia asked her subordinates to block the road, with the intention of blocking the news from the Penguins.
