Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics - Chapter 158

Cavaliers Arena, Fort Dios district.

Harley Quinn finally left for the Joker. The Joker escaped from the Arkham Asylum before Baine arrived, and now no one knows where he went.

But according to the clown’s personality, he hasn’t gotten into trouble for such a long time, and the villains feel that he has mostly left Gotham.

But Halle thought that the clown would not leave Gotham for no reason, so she went back to the ACE chemical factory to summon the members of the “Clown Gang” and looked for the whereabouts of the clown everywhere in Gotham.

The penguin and the black mask also left immediately.

The alliance of villains that Bain wanted to achieve was barely settled.

Only waiting for Bain to deliver the promised large number of Wayne-made new weapons to the two people’s turf, they will recognize Baine’s hegemony in Gotham.

Now, only Baine and Riddler are left in the arena.

“Is the fusion reactor hidden?”

Bain asked suddenly.

“Don’t worry, no one in this world can find it unless he cracks my riddle, but this is absolutely impossible, because the person who can crack is no longer in Gotham, hahaha…”

The Riddler let out a few weird laughs.

“But is this really good?”

After laughing, the riddler asked Bain.

“what do you mean?”

“You really feel so relieved to hand over your biggest reliance on Gotham to me to arrange. After hiding, you killed all the insiders.”

“Except for me, no one, including you, knows the whereabouts of the nuclear bomb.”

The riddler stared at Bain meaningfully.

“Do you really trust me so much that I will not secretly hand over the nuclear bomb to several other gang bosses? You must know that they must also want this nuclear bomb.”

“You did hide the nuclear bomb, right.”

Baine didn’t change his face, he didn’t care about the threat implicit in the riddler’s words.

“Yes.”

The riddler gave an affirmative answer.

“that’s enough.”

Bain smiled without warning, although others could only see his hideous facial expression under the action of the breathing mask.

But at least the Riddler could feel Bain’s joy.

“It’s unbelievable. You still feel happy when I say that. Do you like being threatened by others?”

“Nigma, do you know why I released so many people in the lunatic asylum, but only found you?”

The joy on Bain’s face disappeared within a few seconds.

“Oh? I’m a little interested, probably because I’m smarter than all of them?”

The riddler has extreme confidence in his IQ.

Although he is often defeated by Batman, he always thinks Batman is not as smart as him.

He failed because he left too many clues for Batman.

“Do not.”

Bain certainly didn’t approach Riddler because he feels good about himself.

“Because you are fundamentally different from them.”

“Whether it is Koporter or Cien Suss, their power and family are closely connected to this city. The daughter of Death Shooter goes to school here, and the research base of Scarecrow is all in Gotham.”

“What they have in common is that for whatever reason, they will not give up the city of Gotham, and they will not leave here easily.”

“Only you and the death knell are different. You don’t have an obsession with Gotham, or your obsession with Gotham only exists on one person.”

“It’s a pity that the death knell is unwilling to cooperate with me, but it is enough to have you there.”

Listening to Bain’s narration, the riddler gradually frowned.

He seemed to understand what Bain really wanted to do.

“You are crazy enough, the clown might have a lot of topics in common with you.”

The interest of the Riddler was suddenly raised, and Bain’s idea was too interesting.

“Well… the original riddle was too simple to match this level of madness, I have to upgrade it.”

“This is not madness, but punishment.”

Bain opened his hands and shouted.

“Nigma, I don’t care where you hide the nuclear bomb, or who you will give it to. I just need to make sure that it won’t be found by anyone outside of Gotham.”

“Because I believe that if Koporter and Sean Sauss get a nuclear bomb, they will protect it. As long as it is still in Gotham, it will be the same in anyone’s hands.”

“Hmph, just don’t worry, why would I let others intervene in such a fun thing, no one knows where it is except me.”

The riddler smiled mysteriously.

“Just one more thing I want to know, Baine, why do you want to destroy Gotham?”

“In order to cleanse the sins, we created a plague to sack Rome and razed London to the ground with fire. Since ancient times, any soil covered by sin has not escaped our sanctions.”

“Today it’s Gotham’s turn.”

The riddler has already seen the fact that Bain will detonate a nuclear bomb, so Bain doesn’t need to hide his motives anymore.

Anyway, the Riddler was always under Bain’s nose, and he could kill Nigma at any time.

“We are the League of Shadow Warriors.”

To liberate prisoners, create chaos, and guard the whole city, it seems that Bain wants to separate Gotham and become the king of the land.

In fact, all this is just a blindfold, in order to make others believe that as long as he follows the rules Bain said, he will not detonate a nuclear bomb to destroy Gotham.

Why didn’t it destroy Gotham as soon as it came.

Part of the reason is that Bain wants the citizens in Gotham, the city of sin, to fully enjoy the despair of the citizens who are bleeding from sin.

The other reason was that he could not detonate the nuclear bomb.

That’s right, the remote control in Bain’s hand is actually useless now.

The fusion reactor developed by Wayne Enterprise did not intend to weaponize it. Even if Dr. Pavel forced the reactor to be transformed into a nuclear bomb, it would take a long time to achieve the transformation.

It is conservatively estimated that it will take one month to complete the conversion.

The moment of completion is when the nuclear bomb detonates automatically.

Although this nuclear bomb also has the function of designing a remote-controlled explosion, it needs to be transformed to a certain degree before it can take effect.

It takes about five days to be remotely detonated, and this power will be less than after a complete reaction, it is impossible to kill everyone in Gotham.

Therefore, Bain will not take the initiative to detonate the nuclear bomb as a last resort.

Bain didn’t tell anyone about this information, nor did the Riddler know.

“That’s it, Batman used to be one of you, and then he betrayed you. Interesting, this is really interesting.”

After listening to the story told by Bain, the riddler became more interested.

“If you don’t mind, I should work with you for a long time until Batman dies…”

Baine and the Riddler reached a final agreement.
