《Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics》Chapter 54: Black & White’s Meeting

Advertisement

Under everyone’s stunned gaze, Mathison walked confidently from the sky to the ground.

Like an angel from heaven descending to earth, he crossed the protective circle of the royal guards from the air and headed towards the Queen.

”Your Majesty, are you satisfied with my performance?”

Phantom Kid made the most standard gentleman’s bow to the Queen and asked with a light smile.

Even with a circle of people around him from the royal guard, he never flinched for a moment.

”In terms of magic alone, what you have displayed today is the most stunning performance I have ever seen in my life.”

The Queen did not hold back the words of her admiration.

”In that case, I consider today’s performance a success.”

Mathison bowed and looked like he was about to leave the place.

”Phantom Kid, didn’t you say you were going to return the Queen’s necklace?”

It was only at that moment that Tucker stepped forward and questioned.

As soon as the words left his mouth, he saw Phantom Kid turn to him in wonder and say, “It’s already been returned to Her Majesty, look at what she is wearing around her neck.”

As the crowd looked, somehow the Tamil Ruby was hanging around Queen Elizabeth’s neck.

The Queen held the jewel from her chest in amazement, and it did not take her much examination to know that it was indeed the real thing.

”If you excuse me, I will now return to the tower.”

With a faint smile, Mathison simply snapped his fingers and a cloud of smoke suddenly enveloped his entire body.

As the smoke cleared, there was no longer any sign of his figure. Once they had shifted their look towards the sky again, they saw Mathison right in mid-air.

”Tap, tap, tap~”

In full view of everyone, Kid once again performed his “magic” of walking on air.

And slowly, he made his way to the top of the watchtower.

By then, Gordon, Starling, Bob, Barbara and the others had all moved over from other directions.

A large black mass of police officers surrounded the tower in time for the last airwalk show.

A dozen helicopters hovered over it, in an attempt to trap Phantom Kid on top.

”Ladies and gentlemen!”

Standing at the top of the tower, Phantom Kid’s voice reached the ears of everyone below.

The helicopter propellers rattled loudly, stirring up the air currents at the top of the tower creating a strong blast of wind.

The white cloak was floating wildly.

Even in the face of such a predicament, Kid kept his poker face.

”Thank you all for watching, and, please, stay tuned for my next performance!”

Such an arrogant statement… as if he was sure he would be able to escape this time, and he even sent out an invitation to the next show.

He simply had no regard for the police and agents present!

Nowadays, Mathison does have enough capital to ignore these people.

”There won’t be a next one …”

Without warning, a low, raspy voice came from behind Mathison, close at hand!

Mathison’s pupils clenched, when did this man approach behind him?

Cautiously, he turned his head and what met his eyes was a dark figure!

The man’s chest was clearly marked with a bat.

Batman!

Having studied materials science, Mathison could easily many materials on Batman’s suit that made him drool.

A black suit made of Kevlar and titanium, and a black cape made of special Vibranium.

The Bat helmet, which covers most of his head, uses an impact-resistant synthetic graphite exterior and ballistic fiber plating, and the helmet contains a night vision camera, a thermal camera, a sonar…

He’s got it all!

And the legendary utility belt around his waist…!! Mathison was almost drooling.

”It’s Batman, he’s back!”

In this instance, a bizarre silence fell over all Gotham residents present, civilians they were or GCPD.

There was only one thought in their minds.

”Oh, my… He’s back…”

Batman and Phantom Kid stood facing each other at the top of the tower, less than ten meters apart from each other.

The two were wearing black and white as if they were natural opposites, yet somehow they had a sense of inexplicable harmony.

In terms of body type, Batman is a standard muscular man with a strong body, while Kid’s is slightly thinner.

In terms of expression, Kid’s face always has a wicked smile on his face, while Batman’s face is always expressionless.

It was the essence of a poker face taken to the limit.

Gordon looked at Batman’s figure in a daze, muttering with joy and sorrow.

After these encounters, Gordon had to admit that Kid was not a criminal that ordinary cops could deal with.

He was no less difficult than the likes of the Scarecrow who had wreaked havoc eight years ago, and the only sort of good news was that Phantom Kid hadn’t killed anyone so far.

It’s not a particularly vicious crime, but Kid’s charisma is so strong that he can easily disrupt the social order and even lead others to crime.

As the Commissioner of Gotham’s General Police Department, Gordon could never let Kid act the way he wants.

More than once over the past few days, he had wondered if he should relight the Bat-lamp.

But in the end, he resisted, because Batman was still the most wanted man in Gotham.

The super-criminal who killed Harvey Dent.

Gordon didn’t want Batman to come back unless it was absolutely necessary.

Because it would mean the two would be arch-nemeses.

Barbara wouldn’t have as much on her mind as her father.

She was nowhere near the future Oracle, she hadn’t even served as Batgirl yet. She was only a college student who was a little smarter than the average person.

At this moment, having seen her idol, she immediately cheered as if she were a teenage girl.

”Catch that wretched thief, Batman!”

”Justice will prevail!”

Barbara shouted so loudly that even Mathison on top of the tower could hear her clearly.

”On which side is this guy on …”

Mathison said to himself.

It was the only way to relieve a little bit of mental pressure.

The one in front of him was not on the same level as anyone he had faced in the past.

Even if he knew magic, Mathison didn’t have any confidence that he could beat Batman for sure.

But then again, how many people in the whole world would dare to say that they could beat the master of the game?

Not to mention that there was no Superman in this world. And even if there were, there might not be another Dawn of Justice.

Even if Mathison could win once at the expense of magical strength, it’s hard to say that he will win facing Batman.

As for Killing Batman in once?

Are you dreaming?

«The unremovable backlighting obscures most of the face. Only the left eye, mouth, and chin are visible; it looks like that monocle was specially made …»

Just as Mathison was examining Batman up and down, Batman was also doing the same.

«Judging by the wear and tear on the skin of his chin, Phantom Kid’s age is under twenty-five … younger than expected.»

«He’s talented and hasn’t committed an unforgivable sin yet. Maybe I can lead him back to the right path.»

Batman thought darkly as he gazed at Mathison.
