Gotham, Diamond District, Iceberg Club.

The Penguins and O'Kilvie watched the news on TV together.

"Are you sure the Stone of Doom has fallen into the hands of Kidd the Strange Thief?"

The penguin asked.

"Don't worry, boss, our people have confirmed that the Stone of Doom was indeed taken by the monster thief Kidd in the end."

Okilvie said with a very confident look.

"That's for sure."

"So...... Is Kidd the Thief going to die this time? ”

The penguin man asked in a deep voice with a twinkle in his eyes.

"According to the calculator and Faust, as long as the thief Kidd touches the Stone of Doom with his own hands, he will never survive! Unless ......"

Okilvi was about to speak, but he stopped.

"Unless?"

The penguin-man narrowed his eyes.

"Unless Kidd the Monster Thief doesn't actively touch the Stone of Doom, or if he is proficient in some magic, the Stone of Doom will hardly have a noticeable effect on him."

O'Kilvi said solemnly.

"I can't rule it out, but given all the abilities Kidd the Thief has shown so far, and his habit of returning stolen treasures every time, I think it's very unlikely to be negligible."

"Hmm."

The penguin snorted softly and continued.

"Okilvie, there's one thing I haven't figured out."

Hearing this, Okilvie immediately cheered up.

"According to what we've learned, Kidd the Monster Thief's entire theft process was to use the Glider Dummy's Blue Diamond of Hope as bait to attract the attention of everyone on the scene, and then come back to steal the Stone of Doom when there was no threat, and the Blue Diamond of Hope carried on the dummy was actually the real thing."

The penguin man slowly stated, "No one outside knows about the existence of the Stone of Doom except for us, because the 'Blue Diamond of Hope' at the exhibition was the Stone of Doom from the beginning, and the real 'Blue Diamond of Hope' was hidden by Danilo Ofe. ”

"I'm curious, where did Kidd the Monster Thief get that real 'Blue Diamond of Hope'? Now that he's got the real diamond, why would he go back and take the Stone of Doom when he knows that the Blue Diamond of Hope as an exhibit is fake? ”

The penguin man gave Okilvi a deep look and asked, "Okilvie, can you explain it to me?" ”

O'Kilvie's face changed, he actually had the same doubts as the penguin people.

Aside from Okilvie and the Penguins and a few cronies, the only person who knows the story of the Doom Stone is Curator Aoife, and the only one who knows where the Hope Blue Diamond is hiding is Aoife himself, because Okilvie doesn't care about the Hope Blue Diamond at all.

It's a pity that Kidd's action happened last night, and since the end of Kidd's operation, Director Aoife has followed Director Gordon and others to the GCPD to make a record, and he hasn't come out until now.

Okilvie didn't have a good chance to send someone to ask Director Aoife about the ins and outs.

In fact, it was only after watching the news that he realized that in addition to the Stone of Doom, the thief Kidd had stolen the real Blue Diamond of Hope.

If Kidd, the thief, somehow learned that the Blue Diamond of Hope was from Curator Aoife and stole it, then he didn't need to go back and get the Stone of Doom?

It turns out that the Stone of Doom has been stolen, so why did Kidd do it? Does he know the true face of the Stone of Doom?

If he knew, Kidd wouldn't have touched the stone, and his plan to use the Stone of Doom to kill Kidd would have failed.

Thinking of this, countless fine beads of sweat suddenly appeared on Okilvie's forehead.

"This ...... Kidd the Thief may ...... Probably ......"

Faced with the penguin's questioning, O'Kilvi couldn't think of what to say for a moment.

"Kidd the Strange Thief may have known about the existence of the Stone of Doom in advance through something or someone, so he deliberately took it away and left the Blue Diamond of Hope, which means telling us that he has seen through our plan!"

The penguin man snorted coldly and replied on his own.

"Exactly, he saw through your plan! Let me waste fifteen million in vain to buy that broken stone! ”

"I'm sorry, boss, I'm ...... I was so stupid. ”

Okilvi lowered his head and looked panicked.

"Kidd the Monster Thief usually returns what he stole to its rightful place, have you ever wondered what would happen if he smuggled that cursed broken stone back here? You, and me, will all die in that bullshit doom before you know it! ”

The penguin's voice instantly raised, "Okilvie, I'm so disappointed by your failure this time!" ”

O'Kilvie's eyes widened, and a heart suddenly rose to his throat.

Is this old penguin going to kill me to vent his anger?

"Are you afraid I'm going to kill you?"

Suddenly, the penguin's tone softened.

"I made a fatal mistake this time, and I should be punished by the boss as he wants, and I am willing to accept it."

Okilvie's face was grim, and he raised his head and said righteously, with a generous expression on his face.

"If it had been in Gotham more than a decade ago, when Falcone was still around, I might have believed you like that, but now?"

The penguin man said with disdainful eyes, he was only halfway there, but O'Kilvi understood what he meant.

"You're a rare talent, O'Kilvie, not only because of your personal abilities, but also because I often see in you the shadow of me back then."

"I won't hold you accountable for your fault this time, but I will never allow another time!"

As he spoke, the penguin began to command: "Kidd the Strange Thief has the Stone of Doom in his hand, and he may come to take revenge at any time, now I'm going to talk to the calculator, and you'd better take advantage of this time to think about what to do with Kidd the Strange Thief!" ”

"When I get back, I want to hear your answer!"

——

Gotham High School.

During the day's school lessons, Dick was in a state of confusion, staying in his seat and not knowing what he was thinking.

Because the number of distractions in class was too much, I was named by the teachers of several classes and punished for standing.

If Dean hadn't even reminded Dick earlier, he might not even have known he was named.

This is not difficult to understand, after all, for Dick, the thief Kidd actually disguised himself to deceive Dean, and then disguised himself as Dean to deceive himself.

This means that Kidd the Thief can use a similar disguise in the future.

Dick worries that if Kidd the Thief uses this method more often in the future, how to effectively check Kidd the Thief's identity will become a big problem.

Thinking about it like this, it slowly came to the end of school.

Dick dragged his feet back to Wayne Manor.

As soon as he entered, he was stunned to find that there was one more person in the family besides Alfred......
