DC: Phantom Thief Kid

Chapter 4: The Phantom Thief Kid Appears

Inside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows on the east side of the central exhibition hall, a group of police officers, led by Gordon and Harvey, stood in a line in front of the large floor-to-ceiling window.

"Jim, the Phantom Thief Kid is about to come into range,"

Harvey reminded Gordon.

"Everyone, stand by and wait for my signal before shooting!"

Gordon responded loudly, his eyes locked onto the approaching Phantom Thief Kid, who was getting closer.

What was once a blurry shadow became clear as his appearance became visible.

The object that looked like wings also revealed its true form - a pair of glider wings.

Due to the wind, the glider didn't move very fast, and it would take some time for the Phantom Thief Kid to get close to the museum.

Most of the weapons carried by Gordon and the police were pistols with limited range.

They needed Phantom Thief Kid to glide a bit longer before shooting an effective attack.

Although they said "a bit longer," in reality, it was only a matter of about ten seconds.

Everyone stared with wide eyes, waiting for the Phantom Thief Kid to come into range.

However, just as he was about to reach the effective range, Phantom Thief Kid suddenly changed direction and began circling around the museum.

It was as if he had noticed the police ambush inside the museum and was looking for a way to break through.

At this very moment...

On top of a building near the museum, Robin squatted on the rooftop, looking down at the white figure below, a glint of determination in his eyes.

"I've got you now."

Robin took out his Grapple Gun from his belt and jumped off the rooftop.

When he reached a certain height, he shot his Grapple Gun towards the opposite building, swiftly gliding towards the Phantom Thief Kid in mid-air.

His movements were incredibly fast, continuously shooting the Grapple Gun and hooking onto buildings on both sides, just like Spider-Man, achieving high-speed movement.

The speed was even similar to a speeding car, rapidly closing the distance between Robin and the Phantom Thief Kid.

Boom!

In that instant, the Phantom Thief Kid in mid-air suddenly exploded, completely enveloped in a cloud of thick smoke.

"What?"

The police, who were completely focused on Phantom Thief Kid, were dumbfounded.

They hadn't even made a move yet, so why did he explode?

What's up with the self-destruction?

'Wait! No human body fell from there, Phantom Thief Kid is still inside the smoke!'

Robin, who had approached Phantom Thief Kid, was also shocked by the surprising explosion, but he immediately realized something was wrong.

Robin swiftly swung towards the center of the smoke, and then...

He swung out from the other side of the smoke.

There was no collision, as if there was nothing in the smoke.

Bang!

Robin, who went through the smoke, didn't lose speed and continued to charge forward, crashing through the museum's glass window and rolling onto the exhibition hall twice before losing speed.
