Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics

Chapter 202: On the Eve of the Decisive Battle

Coincidentally, when Phantom Kid left the information, that he will officially steal the nuclear bomb tomorrow, another person also decided to start a big move tomorrow. 

East District, the Sionis family’s estate. 

The headquarters of Black Mask Gang is here. 

“Tomorrow, I’m going to make Gotham City hell!” 

Roman Sionis called in a large group of men, including many of the Blackgate prison level villains, and it was clear that those present were the backbone of Black Mask’s men.

Except for Deadshot. 

This high-level meeting was actually over after Black Mask made a manifesto to turn Gotham into hell. 

When Black Mask told his confidants about tomorrow’s action, everyone’s faces were full of enthusiasm and excitement, because they knew it would not end well for those who were not enthusiastic enough… 

As if he had received a signal, Black Mask had already started dispatching his staff a few hours ago and was also preparing to make a big move tomorrow. 

Phantom Kid, Black Mask. 

The two most troublesome people in Bane’s dictionary actually chose to make their move on the same day. 

Is anyone sure it wasn’t some sort of deal? 

Although no one knew what Black Mask was trying to gather so many minions for, it was not difficult to guess what he was going for. 

There are only a few forces in Gotham that can pose a threat to Black Mask at the moment. 

It wouldn’t take that many people to deal with the GCPD, so he must be preparing against Bane. 

And with Bane now allied with the Penguin, there is no way Black Mask alone can deal with them.

After Gordon’s high-profile return, the GCPD has become a beacon in the hearts of all the people of Gotham. 

Almost every hour, many people rushed to GCPD for shelter… or support. 

Although most of the original police officers have been lost, not only the police and gangsters were fighting in Gotham. 

But all Gotham citizens who have lived normally until now have certain skills. 

Some may not even have to be provided with weapons. 

The most important point is that there are countless veterans living in Gotham who, because they are from Gotham themselves, are often sent on many difficult missions after joining the army.

In layman’s terms, they are far stronger than the average soldier and would be considered elite soldiers in any army.

In short, the current GCPD can no longer be called the “Gotham City Police Department”, it should be more appropriate to call it: the Gotham Citizens’ Resistance Army. 

The growth of the rebel army was far beyond Gordon’s expectations. 

He had never imagined such an outcome when he declared war on Bane. 

In fact, in Gordon’s expectation, Bane should focus on himself first, so as to provide some off-site assistance for Phantom Kid’s actions. 

He didn’t expect Kid to be so fierce that Bane had no time to deal with Gordon, who had been yelling over here for so long himself that not only did he not get beaten up, but even his microphone hadn’t been turned off?

With thousands of sturdy Gotham citizens and veterans forming a rebel army under Gordon’s command, the forces belonging to the GCPD side have greatly increased. 

Even if they are not as good as either Black Mask’s or Penguin’s men, they are enough to hold them. 

Bane had allied with the Penguin. If Black Mask doesn’t want to sit still, his only way is to join forces with Gordon. 

To this moment, a lot of time has passed since Talia had taken the three shadow warriors. 

After carefully bypassing the guards, Talia managed to infiltrate Black Mask’s zone of authority. 

She soon discovered that something was wrong with the East District. 

“Black Mask is calling for his men, and their number is terrifying.” 

Talia pondered while hiding in a leafy tree outside the SIonis Manor. 

She is separated from the three shadow warriors, each of whom is hidden on one side of the manor, and can monitor the entire manor in all directions. 

Within Talia’s line of sight, she could see the widest field in the manor. 

This means that she has witnessed a large number of Black Mask gang backbone members.

There were also quite a few familiar faces. 

“Damn Sionis, he definitely planned to fight us very early, otherwise it would not be possible to have so many people present at the same time in such a short period.” 

Talia used the available information she had for her analysis. 

“They must have arranged this meeting at least two days ago…” 

“But why today?” 

Talia frowned. 

“Judging from the current personnel distribution in the Eastern District, it will not take long for the assembly of Black Masks to be completed. I don’t believe he’ll let the assembled army stay for a few days before setting off.” 

“It seems that Black Mask is also planning to strike tomorrow…” 

Thinking of this, Talia intended to contact Bane and let him speed up the gathering of his men. 

The final battle might start tomorrow. 

However, when Talia took out the communicator and was about to contact Bane. 

“Boom!” 

A bullet flew out from the depths of Sionis Manor and hit the communicator in Talia’s hand accurately. 

“I’ve found a suspicious figure, it should be a woman, she’s trying to contact someone.” 

Deadshot emerged from the window of a certain room and said in a loose tone. 

The straight-line distance between him and Talia was probably less than 300 meters, so a sniper rifle is unnecessary; Deadshot hit the communicator with a simple pistol, making it impossible for Talia to communicate directly with Bane. 

This shot was basically no different from poking a hornet’s nest, and the guards in the entire manor rushed towards Talia at the same time. 

If she gets caught, she’ll be torn to shreds. 

The moment Deadshot fired, Talia knew she had already been exposed. And without saying a word, she jumped down from the tree and fled. 

As for the other three shadow warriors, they will naturally act on their own, so Talia needn’t worry about them… 

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind Floyd. 

“Why not just hit her on the head?” 

Deadshot knew who was coming even if he didn’t look back. 

“Maybe… it would be more useful to keep her alive.” 

“To be precise, keep her alive for now.” 

The man behind Floyd corrected. 

“Call it whatever you want, I’ll just do what I need to do.”

Deadshot shrugged, turned around, and walked out the door from the window. 

The first thing that was seen behind him was a black skull mask. 

“Roman… do you really think things will develop as we imagined?” 

Deadshot paused when he walked to the door and asked Black Mask. 

“I’m not sure, but I don’t care, no matter what happens, it won’t stop me from turning Gotham into hell…” 

Black Mask didn’t care. 

“Don’t forget, we also have an old friend who is probably tired of being in the sewers.” 

“It’s time for him to come out and get some fresh air and meet the other old friends…”
