Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics

Chapter 77: New Reward

“Damn, I forgot that Phantom Kid also added propellers to his glider to get him out of sight!”

A few kilometers away from the residential area on the road, George looked at the white figure as it disappeared from his sight and gritted his teeth.

“Everyone listens to my orders, expands the search area, he can not run far! Make sure you find out where Kid is!”

George ordered all the police officers.

“Sir… the direction where Phantom Kid flew over… that seems to be your residence’s location…”

At this time, an officer hesitantly said to George.

“What?”

George, whose attention was all focused on Phantom Kid, now realized that this place was near his house.

“Could it be that Phantom Kid would run and hide near my house… No way! Gwen is still at home!”

George was shocked. He immediately slammed on the gas, going full speed to his house.

At this time, at the attic of George’s house.

“You can fly, are you not an angel? Only angels can fly, people can’t fly.”

Gwen asked with a puzzled look on her face.

Mathison was momentarily amused by the little girl’s naivete.

“With enough effort, people can fly too.”

Gwen’s eyes were wide in disbelief.

However, she felt that the smile of this big brother is too handsome…

Suddenly, a light siren sounded in the distance and was getting closer and closer to this side.

“So fast! They locked my position in such a short time! It seems that there are some capable people in the NYPD that I don’t know of.”

Mathison’s eyes sharply gazed.

Gwen noticed that this ‘big brother’ in front of her seemed to be somewhat different.

“You’re leaving?”

Mathison looked at Gwen in amazement, he didn’t expect this little girl’s senses to be so keen.

She is really a cute kid.

He smiled gently, walked to Gwen, crouched down, took her little hand, and gave her a soft kiss.

“See you next time, young lady.”

After saying that, Mathison leapt from the attic, opened the glider and propeller, and flew up into the sky.

“So people can really fly!”

Little Gwen did not know that there is such a thing as gliding wings, but she was able to realize that the reason why that big brother could fly in the sky just now has a lot to do with the triangle glider.

Within two minutes after Mathison flew away, a police car drove by from the other side and then proceeded to chase in the direction Mathison had flown.

“That seems to be Dad’s car, is he chasing big brother?”

Gwen saw from the attic the police cars speeding by below and guessed that they should be chasing Mathison.

With so many police cars deployed, they must have encountered a very vicious criminal.

“But he doesn’t look like a bad guy at all.”

This day, Gwen’s heart gave birth to one of the biggest confusion in the ten years of her young life.

“Catch up with Phantom Kid! Make sure you don’t let him get away today!”

“The police of Gotham can’t catch Kid because of their incompetence. Today, we must let all the people of America see that we, the New York Police Department, are the best police in America!”

George saw with his own eyes. Mathison flew away from his own attic, and was furious. His eyes were spewing fire, good thing he still saw Gwen in the attic unharmed, otherwise he swore he would have taken out Phantom Kid with his own hands.

“The propeller’s power can still support for fifteen minutes…”

Mathison flew back into the sky, the wind still had not returned to normal, he could only temporarily rely on the propeller to maintain flight.

“Dozens of police cars are firmly behind me, and a huge number of police cars are following in several nearby blocks, so as soon as I land I will be surrounded by a herd of them.”

“The general public on the street has actually been evacuated pretty much, are New Yorkers that efficient? How come the citizens of Gotham don’t have this kind of self-awareness?”

Now, the possibility of slipping into the crowd is so small that it is negligible.

Just when Mathison was distressed, suddenly, a gust of evening wind blew into his face.

The wind had picked up again!

“Now there are no more worries.”

Mathison immediately turned off the propeller, relying only on the wind to fly toward his initial route, just in case.

As soon as the propellers were shut down, all the police officers noticed and instantly knew that the wind was now back.

After all, while driving at high speed on the ground, it is almost impossible to have a sense of the change in wind speed.

“Sir, Phantom Kid is moving towards Manhattan!”

“The wind speed is back to normal, and I’m afraid it’s hard for Phantom Kid to fall back to the ground.”

George slapped his hand on the steering wheel.

“Where’s the emergency helicopter squad, why aren’t they here yet?”

“They’re almost here. They said that because it was an emergency call to the pilot, it would take at least twenty minutes for him to take off. After all, the remaining helicopter pilots in New York are now sleeping in their homes.”

George slapped his forehead, he had a hunch that he would most likely not be able to catch Phantom Kid today.

“Phantom Kid is turning again, there is Times Square!”

Suddenly, another police officer reported to George in a panic.

Upon hearing this, George knew that the situation was not getting any better. If there is any place in New York where evacuation is most difficult, it would be Times Square.

This is the most prosperous and lively neighborhood in New York and even the United States, the flow of people here is high to a horrible degree.

Contrary to the previous situation all the way over, because of the chaos of Hell’s Kitchen, starting from Hell’s Kitchen, the people of that zone dared not to go out at night.

So it was easy to evacuate the streets of pedestrians in that area.

But Manhattan is different, and Times Square is even more different…

George had almost lost hope when he heard that Phantom Kid was flying in the direction of Manhattan.

Sure enough, Phantom Kid landed on top of a random department store building in Times Square.

Although George, almost at the same time, with a large number of police officers, rushed into the building, they failed to find Phantom Kid.

They checked all the security cameras of the department store building and found nothing.

————

After striding away from Times Square, Mathison went around the coast of Manhattan Island and returned to Gotham on a speedboat that had been prepared.

Once back home, Mathison put the Dresden Green Diamond in Charlie’s paws.

Then came the long-awaited system reward. 

This time to face Kingpin, Mathison did not use any transcendent ability, which means that the evaluation of the magnificence level will not raise the standards.

There were three thousand people in the venue, so the magnificence level should be at B level.

 “Stolen Treasure: Dresden Green Diamond”

“Treasure value: B”

“Difficulty: Medium”

“Magnificence: B”

Sure enough, there was no mistake.

“Final rating: B”

“Reward: Mending Charm.”

  “Mending Charm: From the world of Harry Potter, a magic spell that can repair items.”

Mathison: “…”
