Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 147 Holding the Whole Gotham Hostage
Winter is here, and since the beginning of the month, there has been light snow in the sky.

There is a thin layer of snow on the ground in New York. If the snowfall remains the same, it will basically not be possible to form a real snow accumulation.

In the past three months, Maggison and Charlie have also traveled all over the museums in New York and surrounding cities.

Excluded a lot of false information.

Gradually, they also discovered some patterns from the database of supernatural items, and a lot of information itself is a smoke bomb used to confuse outsiders.

After all, the possibility that members of the organization were intercepted by the police cannot be ruled out.

If the information is obtained by the police or S.H.I.E.L.D., at least it will make it impossible for them to quickly distinguish the authenticity of the information.

However, forged information is forged after all, even if it is put together with a bunch of fairy tales, people can always find something wrong.

So from the second month onwards, Maggison and Charlie have basically figured out the rules of the Rising Tide organization's writing materials.

Judge by past experience.

The existing treasures in New York are probably:

A-level or above Hope Blue Diamond, which is the most famous "Heart of the Ocean", the legendary cursed stone.

Existing in a research institute owned by AIM Corporation in New York City.

The B-grade pink lion diamond has no special ability, but it is more precious than other diamonds.

It is now in the Museum of the City of New York and is protected as a treasure of the town hall.

The only thing left is the space gem of unknown grade.

Of course, there are also those messy dangerous items in S.H.I.E.L.D. that their own people don't know where they are.

Just when McGeeson was planning to loosen his muscles and choose one of Hope Blue Diamond and Pink Lion Diamond to send out a notice letter.

An earth-shattering big news spread all over the world.

Gotham City - held hostage!
More than ten hours ago, the Black Gate Prison and Arkham Asylum were attacked by a terrorist who called himself Bane.

These two talent centers were breached in a very short period of time, and countless criminals were released by Baine.

Of course, Bane didn't have the brains to release everyone in Arkham Asylum. Thinking about that scene makes people shudder.

He just selectively released a few powerful and principled super criminals.

Such as death knell, dead shooter, scarecrow, riddle man, black mask and so on.

They are not under Baine's rule, and some go back to gather their original subordinates, while others don't know where to go.

As for the deepest clown, Bane not only has no intention of releasing him, but even strengthened the guard level...

At the same time, the gangs under the Penguin caused riots in the city one after another. They burned, killed, looted and did everything.

The city of Gotham was engulfed in flames of war and gunpowder in an instant.

This is not over yet, after Bane liberated all the prisoners, he also released a blockbuster.

He blew up several bridges connecting Gotham City to other cities, making Gotham an isolated city from then on!
Next, he led a large force to occupy the Wayne Building, and then robbed the fusion reactor that Wayne Enterprises was working on.

Then, under the modification of Dr. Leonid Pavel, the fusion reactor became a nuclear bomb about to explode.

Pavel is a nuclear physics expert who put forward the theory of fusion energy weaponization a long time ago. It was reported that he died in an airplane accident a few years ago. Unexpectedly, he was actually kidnapped by Bane.

Once the nuclear bomb explodes, the millions of people in Gotham will only die.

Bain issued a statement to Washington that the U.S. military was not allowed to send reinforcements to Gotham. If he found a helicopter trying to fly over Gotham or a Gotham citizen left the city, he would detonate the nuclear bomb immediately.

The White House immediately ordered the evacuation of the supporting troops, leaving only the army guarding the opposite side of several broken bridges to prevent the courageous Gotham people from attempting to escape.

If necessary, in order to ensure the safety of the entire city, you can shoot and kill citizens who are trying to escape.

Hmm...it's very American government.

The Ministry of Defense and the Pentagon held an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with this difficult incident.

They tried to negotiate with Baine, no matter how much ransom Baine asked for, they were willing to pay.

However, Bane didn't do this for money, he just wanted to destroy Gotham.

It's just that what he said is that he wants to return rights to the people and make Gotham an anarchic city.

No matter what benefits the government promised Bain, he just refused to take it.

Negotiations broke down.

As soon as the news came out, everyone outside went crazy.

Since the founding of the United States, there have been countless terrorist attacks, but in terms of scale, the September [-] incident is already the most serious attack in history.

But compared with Bane's behavior today, it's like a child playing house.

Everyone was helpless against him.

But not everyone is desperate, at least Gotham still has the last hope.

The Dark Knight Batman.

It’s just that for some reason, Bane blew up the bridge for a long time, but Batman didn’t show up to stop him.

No one knew that Bruce had noticed that there was a mastermind behind the scenes who was gradually controlling the darkness of Gotham as early as a few days ago.

He took the risk and found Bane's lair in the sewers.

Batman is then shocked to discover that Bane is also a member of the Shadow Warriors like himself.

And Bane is stronger than him.

As a result, Bruce's spine was broken by Bane abruptly, and he was almost paralyzed.

Bane didn't say anything about his defeat of Batman, because he wanted to see that the people of Gotham were full of hope first, looking forward to Batman coming to save the city.

In the end, there was nothing to wait for, hope was completely shattered, and the expression on the face when despair welled up in my heart...

Trident Building.

Nick Fury urgently summoned Black Widow Natasha Romanoff, Hawkeye Clint Barton, Level [-] Agent Coulson, and Level [-] Agent and Deputy Director Maria Hill.

Those present were all Fury's confidantes and the strongest elites of S.H.I.E.L.D.

"Hill, you are in charge of explaining."

"Yes, Chief."

Everyone looked solemn, and Hill called up a few holographic images, all of which were super criminals raging in Gotham City.

The leader is Bane.

"Bane, the leader of an international mercenary army that has only been active for three years, has a power beyond that of normal humans, and is even stronger than many powerful superpowers..."

Hill began to introduce the abilities of these criminals one by one, as well as the current situation of Gotham observed by satellites.

"We're facing one of the biggest conundrums right now."

After Hill finished speaking, Coulson followed closely to express his opinion.

"Bain requires that no flying equipment appear in Gotham's airspace, otherwise the nuclear bomb will be detonated. No matter how perfect the solution we discuss, we must first find a way to enter Gotham City."

Coulson hit the nail on the head.

"So, we have to go to Gotham without Baine noticing."

"Colson, do you mean to..."

None of the people here are stupid, and they quickly guessed what Coulson wanted to say.
