Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics

CH 136

2/5 weekly chapter, enjoy.

“You’re not… in love, are you?”

Seeing Barbara’s silence, Mathison leaned close to her ear and whispered. ;

“You talk to your boyfriend every night, right?” ;

“What did you say!” ;

Barbara suddenly pushed Mathison away with a black face. This guy doesn’t what she is doing, how can she enjoy love?

“You can eat rice, but you can’t talk nonsense, how could you say that, Mathison!” ;

Barbara was extremely angry. Mathison actually doubted her feelings? ;

“Then what on earth do you have to hide from me?” ;

Mathison’s tone suddenly calmed down, and he looked at Barbara’s face indifferently. ;

“We are childhood sweethearts who grew up together, right, shouldn’t we be honest with each other?” ;

“In Gotham, you not only didn’t hide your plan to catch the Phantom Kid, you even dragged me together.” ;

“Why are you hiding everything from me now?” ;

Barbara’s eyes darkened as Mathison said this. ;

Yeah, why did she hide it from Mathison? ;

This obviously makes him think she doesn’t trust him. ;

But Barbara still didn’t want Mathison to be in danger. ;

If she tells the existence of the High Tide Organization to Mathison, he will probably prevent her from pursuing it alone. ;

“It’s really nothing, I’m just…just practicing the new code, what Pamela sees is the way I’m typing the code.” ;

Barbara still wanted to fool him.

Mathison shook his head. This girl is usually shrewd and capable, but can’t even tell a complete lie in front of hiù. ;

“Barbara, I know you as you know yourself. Actually, I can guess that you must be thinking about your superhero game.” ;

“New York is not like Gotham. There are many unnamed street police officers here, but Gotham only has Batman… You want to join them, right?” ;

Mathison leaned close to Barbara again, his eyes seemed to see everything through her. ;

“Did you find any strange signs?” ;

“I’m sorry, Mathison, I shouldn’t have kept this from you, but this is my own business and I can handle it alone.” ;

Barbara took a deep breath and wanted to turn around and escape. ;

Who knows, Mathison pulled her from behind, and under the action of mutual force, Barbara’s body landed on Mathison’s chest. ;

Feeling the warmth behind, Barbara’s face turned red for a moment. ;

“Hey, Mathison…you, what do you want to do?” ;

“I, I, I, I will sue you for sexual harassment.” ;

Mathison just smirked in response. He lifted Barbara’s hair and rested his chin on Barbara’s shoulder. ;

“What does Mathison mean by this action? He really likes me, right! But why doesn’t he keep telling me” ;

Barbara couldn’t help thinking about it. ;

Is her wish for many years finally going to be fulfilled today? ;

“Barbara, tell me what trouble you are having, maybe you need my help.” ;

Why does Mathison want to contact the Rising Tide organization so much? ;

Worrying about Barbara is only one of the reasons. He believes that the oracle can’t beat the high tide. ;

What’s more important is the information in the hands of the rising tide organization! ;

What Mathison lacked most at this time was not power. After all, he could get rewards by stealing treasures, and it was not difficult to increase his combat power. ;

The biggest problem is the location of the treasure, what kind of treasure is he stealing, and how to judge the preciousness of the treasure. ;

Inquire about related legends? ;

It’s hard to tell what’s true and false.

Go to the black market to buy intelligence? ;

The cost is not worth it. ;

Now Mathison already disdains to steal the average treasure.

Precious treasures are relatively easy to obtain during this time in New York. He only knows space gems and spiritual gems. ;

When these two show up, that’s when the Chitauri army attacks New York. ;

During this long period of time, Mathison was ready to make Phantom Kid disappear temporarily. ;

Then, the high tide organization entered Mathison’s line of sight. ;

This hacker organization who likes to die and to collect various secrets in the world and plans to make them public. ;

Naturally, they will not miss the legendary magical treasures. ;

As long as he destroys the high tide organization or goes undercover, he can easily get this information. ;

With Barbara’s help, he doesn’t even need too much manipulation. ;

It completely saves the cost of collecting intelligence by Mathison. Isn’t it a good thing? ;

To be honest, S.H.I.E.L.D. is the best source of intelligence, but it is a pity that Mathison has no possibility of joining them. ;

Maybe it was Mathison’s persistence that moved Barbara, or it was for other reasons. ;

Barbara finally confessed to Mathison her plan to break into the Rising Tide organization. ;

It turned out that Barbara is not a full member of Rising Tide. ;

Although her hacking skills are recognized, of course, this is not Barbara’s full level. ;

However, the Rising Tide group seems to have some doubts about Barbara’s virtual identity. ;

But they shouldn’t find any real evidence, otherwise, they would have cut off all contact with Barbara. ;

In short, with Barbara’s unremitting efforts, she finally gained the trust of the rising tide organization. ;

She only needs to pass the last test, she can become a full member of the Rising Tide organization, a few grades better than the outside cannon fodder. ;

“The final test, where, what do they want you to do?” ;

Mathison asked curiously. ;

“I don’t know,” Barbara shook her head. “They told me to wait for someone by the road in the suburbs tomorrow evening.” ;

“As for who this person is, what he looks like and how to contact him, they didn’t tell me.” ;

interesting. ;

Waiting for someone on the highway means that the person came by car. If he is taking someone else’s car, it will undoubtedly increase the possibility of his exposure. ;

Mathison is curious about what kind of people the Rising Tide organization will send to test Barbara. ;

In the evening of the next day, Barbara came to the road designated by the high tide organization as scheduled. ;

They chose a good location, and it is almost impossible for anyone to come at this point in time. ;

The surrounding environment is unobstructed, and other people cannot be hidden. ;

Mathison did not follow Barbara. After all, the only person to be tested by the High Tide Organization is Barbara. ;

At this time, Mathison was hiding on the hillside thousands of meters away from the highway, observing the situation through binoculars and eavesdropping devices. ;

That’s right, Mathison installed a bug on Barbara’s body, and it was made of special materials to shield the signals of commonly used detection devices. ;

It didn’t take long for a modified van to drive over from a distance. ;

Barbara’s eyes condensed, and she was finally about to meet the people of the high tide organization. ;

Along with a harsh brake sound, the van stopped in front of Barbara. ;

Then, a young girl about the age of Barbara opened the door and got out of the car. ;

“Hi, are you Barbara Gunnhild? I’m Skye.” ;

The girl who called herself Skye walked up to Barbara and stretched out her hand to her with a smile…
