Phantom Thief Kidd

Chapter 174 The Man Trapped in the Clock Tower
"I don't know if the deal is satisfactory to you, Mr. Lawton?"

McKesson compared Bizhenkin to Deadshot.

Although it is only the size of a thumb, its value has exceeded [-] million US dollars.

Deathshooter stared at the black stone at Kaitou Kidd's fingertips.

No doubt he was moved.

Many people don't understand that Deadshot is obviously one of the best killers in the world, why is there such a big gap with others?
Compared with other famous killers such as Deathstroke, Deadpool, Punisher and even Bullseye, although they are all executioners with blood on their hands, they all have their own bottom line.

Needless to say, both Deadpool and Punisher are anti-heroes, and even Bullseye has at least loyalty to Jin Bin.

But Deadshot has no bottom line in killing people.

With the money in place, he will not show mercy to anyone.

So much so that after helping the employer kill the target with the front foot, there was a precedent of killing him with the back foot when the employer was unprepared.

Even though this happened, there were still so many people scrambling to get Deadshooter to take their orders.

There is no way, who made him have too strong business ability, and he is not picky.

The most important thing is that the price is not high, and the various target prices are very reasonable.

To be like Deadpool, if this person does not kill that person, the asking price is too high, but not many employers are willing to find him.

Is the dead shooter so fond of money?

Of course not. Deadshot is probably one of the most diligent killers in the world. On average, he takes at least 50 orders a year, and kills one person every other week.

This frequency is already quite scary. You must know that Deadshot's orders are not limited to Gotham, he will accept assassination commissions from all states in the United States.

A model employee who works [-]/[-].

It is worth learning from Deadpool.

McKesson knew there was a reason why Deadshot was so desperate to take orders.

Although the rewards for the killers are huge on the surface, at least hundreds of thousands, and even more than tens of millions.

But in fact, the money is black money of unknown origin, and it is difficult to spend it without money laundering.

But once the money is laundered, half of it is considered good.

If it is an underground business place like the black market, it would be fine, the black money can be spent directly, buying things, playing with women, whatever you want.

It's just that the purchasing power is much lower than that of the serious US dollar, and of course it must be more than the laundered money.

Most of the people who work in the profession of professional killers have some psychological problems, so they never hesitate to eat, drink and have fun when they make money.

The expenses are already high, but in fact the money you get is discounted.

Therefore, most killers have to take a lot of orders every year. Although it is not [-], it is a job with their heads in their heads. In fact, they have a hard life.

In the movies, we can often see many old killers who have been working for more than ten or twenty years want to retire, and the total net worth is only tens of millions of dollars.

But the orders he usually accepts are all in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. After 20 years, there are only so few left?Many people may feel that this is not right.

But in fact it makes sense.

This is what the killers at the middle and upper levels of the pyramid can achieve.

More than [-]% of killers will basically not retire, not because they will be killed by their peers because of some nonsense retirement, but because they will starve to death without a source of income after simply retiring.

Don't think it's unbelievable, there are actually very few high-end killers like those in the movie in the world, and most killers just use imitation guns or old guns that have been eliminated.

Bullets have to be saved, and the place to live is very ordinary.

Most of the time, they don't even work as killers, but become mercenaries, because big customers who want to find killers will only find killers with names and surnames. Who knows you, a little guy?

Only the death knell at the top can live comfortably, and the money they earn can't be spent in several lifetimes.

Facts have proved that such things as the gap between rich and poor exist in any world.

After all, ascetic ascetic killers like Death Bell are rare.

Deathshooter is obviously not a killer like Death Knell, and his own expenses are very large.

Also, what few people know is that he has a daughter!
He's a killer with a family.

Although he divorced his wife, this did not affect his love for his daughter.

Deadshot's wife did not find a new husband, so the entire family's expenses actually fell on Deadshot's shoulders.

Buying a house and car, going to school for my daughter, and daily expenses all require money, and the cleanest money must be used.

This means that the money earned by Deadshot will be much lower than the general money laundering model.

Maybe only [-]% of the one-time reward will be left.

And so it becomes clear that Deadshot's real reason for ditching the bottom line is actually for his daughter.

He needs a lot of money.

A lot of money.

Money that can ensure that your daughter will spend her life safely.

"I don't know what you are here for, and I haven't seen anyone come to the rooftop, but only today."

Faced with Zhenjin's temptation, Deadshooter chose to compromise.

The popularity of vibrating gold is far beyond ordinary people's imagination, and it can also be sold to many large technology companies without any black money.

After Deadshot was imprisoned in the Arkham Asylum eight years ago, his original property was gone, and what he lacked most now was money.

Otherwise, he would not agree to Black Mask to be his thug. This job is too out of place for a top killer.

The one who didn't see the death knell didn't take the villain alliance to heart at all, and left as soon as he said it, this is the self-confidence of the strong.

Now, the deal proposed by Kaitou Kidd is exactly what he needs most.

"Pleasant cooperation, Mr. Lawton."

I saw Magison smiled slightly, and threw the vibration gold in his hand to the dead shooter.

The first thing Deadshot did after receiving Zhenjin was to take out a Walkman that could emit ultrasonic waves, and then aimed at this small stone to release ultrasonic waves.

The biggest characteristic of vibration gold is that it can absorb any form of sound wave and convert it into energy for storage.

Sure enough, in just a few seconds, the vibrating gold began to heat up, and at the same time a faint halo emitted from the inside of the stone.

is the real thing.

"The playing cards that fell on the ground over there are also mixed with vibration gold. If they are sold as collectibles, they can also make a lot of money. That card should be regarded as my thank you gift."

"By the way, Mr. Lawton, maybe in the near future, we may have new cooperation..."

As soon as the words fell, Maggison disappeared in a cloud of smoke.

This trick can't be fooled by Deathshooter. He turned his head and looked in the direction of the clock tower, just in time to see Kaito Kidd, who took out his claw gun and shot to the top of the clock tower, beckoning him.

"Interesting guy."

Dead Archer thought to himself, then bent down to pick up the playing card...

This time, Maggison, who had been busy for a long time, was finally able to enter the clock tower.

There is nothing on the spire of the top floor of the bell tower. If you want to enter the dark room inside, you need to find the mechanism.

Of course, this is not a problem for Maggison.

I saw Maggison carefully observing each brick, and finally found a suspicious point not far from his feet.

"Dong dong dong."

McKesson tapped the brick a few times, found that it could be pressed down, and pressed harder.

There was only a sound of gears turning, and the pressed brick sank quickly, and a new object rose up.

It was a small table similar to an operation interface, with a bat logo engraved on it.

According to McGison's understanding of this mechanism, Batman's palm must be pressed on it to open the secret passage.

Without Bruce's palm print, basically no one can get in here.

But now, the operation panel in front of Maggison has been destroyed beyond recognition.

The module showing the palm print was charred black and full of cracks.

Graffiti with green question marks is painted on the entire operating table.

Apparently, Maggison was right about the riddle left by Nygma.

The Riddler must have left some clues in the clock tower.

"Pfft!"

Suddenly, countless electric arcs and sparks appeared on the console, and Magison reacted quickly and dodged immediately.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

There were bursts of weird laughter from the console, and Maggison guessed blindly that it was the recording left by the Riddler.

"Batman, you are finally back, I knew you would solve my riddle...Of course you will come here even if you can't solve the riddle, even if I lowered the difficulty for you."

Maggison: "..."

This guy really thinks that only Batman can be his opponent in the world. He really wants to say that the logic of that broken riddle you think is simply inexplicable.

I can't see your high IQ at all. At most, I admit that you have a big brain.

"Did you think you could find clues to the fusion reactor here? No, no, no, there are real puzzles waiting for you, and you better remember the third riddle I gave you, because it will be your last hope. "

"By the way, Batman, I hope you don't come too late, because the person locked up below won't last long..."

At this point, the recording is played.

The moment the sound stopped, the operating platform automatically lowered, and at the same time a vertical downward tunnel appeared in front of Maggison.

"There are people locked up under the bell tower, who could it be?"

McKesson frowned.

Whoever this person is, he or she is in danger.

According to the information obtained from the GCPD, it has been more than ten days since Bane attacked Gotham, and the Riddler must have placed the recordings here for more than seven days.

If there's no food and water down there, it's probably already...

Without time to think about it, Maggison jumped down from the tunnel.

After about ten meters of free fall, Maggison fell to the floor.

What greets the eye is a room containing all the photo albums of members of the Wayne family through the generations.

The two rows of bookcases are full of photo albums.

Some positions are trophies or certificates of honor obtained by the Wayne family.

The most exquisite is the clay statue of Thomas Wayne, which is placed in the first cabinet of the bookcase on the left.

"Um...who?"

While Magison was observing the surrounding environment, a weak voice came over...

(There is only one day left until the [-]th)
