Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics

Chapter 181: GCPD Declares War

 “Hahahahahaha…”

At the end of the recording, only Riddler’s long wicked laugh remained. 

Mathison didn’t know how he managed to listen to his laugh for so long without getting angry, but in order to avoid greater mental pollution, Mathison decided to leave the top of Wayne Tower. 

Of course, he didn’t land on the ground but used his glider to fly beyond Midtown Island. 

At the same time, he turned on the speaker on his body and told Gordon and the others goodbye. 

“Comrades of the GCPD, you must have heard the recording left by the Riddler, then the matter here is completely over.” 

“Thank you for your cooperation, and I hope you can join me and become the security guards of the scene in which I am about to perform.” 

Gordon and the others watched Phantom Kid fly away, and the other party’s hearty laughter could be heard in their ears. 

“Phantom Kid actually wants police officers to be his security guards?” 

Aaron felt the strangeness of the matter and couldn’t help but tear up with laughter. 

Seeing Aaron’s laughing, everyone around had to follow. 

In fact, everyone knows what Kid means. It’s not that there is really any performance that requires to be secured, but when Kid is ready to steal the nuclear bomb, GCPD should not remain idle. 

The super-criminals from the Arkham Asylum need to be arrested one by one, and the chaos left by the three major gangs also needs a strong team to deal with. 

As the backbone of Gotham City, the GCPD can provide more combat forces than the army in many cases. 

So in Mathison’s mind, this powerful team is naturally… not the GCPD! 

In Gotham’s current situation, once he steals the nuclear bomb, he will indeed solve most of the problems. 

But new problems will follow. 

The way the Department of Defense will react will be the most difficult part for Mathison to control. 

Now, everyone knows that Bane has a nuclear bomb in his hand, enough to destroy the entirety of Gotham in an instant, and the guys in the Department of Defense who will only waste taxpayers’ money have no means to deal with this situation. 

They can’t fight and they can’t negotiate.

Bane’s name is now probably on the top of the must-kill list of the Ministry of Defense, and Bin Laden now was far less threatening than Bane. 

If this group of people knew that the nuclear bomb in Bane’s hand was gone, how would they deal with Gotham? 

Mathison didn’t know. 

Will they send their armies in? A missile purge? A nuclear purification? 

God knows what those people in the Ministry of Defense think. 

Mathison couldn’t understand them and didn’t want to understand them anyway. 

Bane, the Penguin, Black Mask, must be eliminated in a short time, preferably before the Pentagon has discussed a solution. 

But Mathison is not planning to participate in these matters, he is only responsible for completing the stealing part, nothing else. 

He’s not a superhero either. 

He is a criminal, being a villain is his part of the job! 

Against Bane, he is, at best, a thief. It does not mean that he is on the side of the police or a hero. 

Professional things have professional people to take care of. 

Relying on the GCPD alone is definitely not enough. Aside from the nuclear bombs situation, incidents such as urban gang chaos wouldn’t be faced by large firepower from the police.

Additionally, conventional army drive-in also needs a long dispatch time.

And it’s not necessarily that they are going to beat the Arkham gang afterward. 

He didn’t know where Tony was. It’s been three days since Mathison said he wanted to steal a nuclear bomb and then sneaked into Gotham. 

Strangely, Iron Man didn’t come to Gotham. 

In the end, and after thinking about it, Mathison concluded the forces that can be trusted are S.H.I.E.LD. 

Nick Fury has a dark face and a darker heart. 

He doesn’t necessarily care what happens to Gotham city, but the Scarecrow’s fear gas, the laughing gas that the Joker might have left to Harley Quinn, the superhuman marksmanship of Deadshot, the super-soldier serum injected by Deathstroke, and even venom in Bane’s back gas tank… 

Fury must be very interested in these things. 

When the nuclear bomb crisis will come to end, S.H.I.E.L.D. will definitely intervene in the chaos the Gotham gang caused for the first time. 

Mathison doesn’t know if the construction of the Helicarrier is completed by now, but even if they are short on Quinjets, they should have configured a way to make it ready soon by this time. 

It is estimated that as soon as Mathison steals the nuclear bomb, the S.H.I.E.L.D.’s Quinjets will manage their way into the Knights Arena. 

“Phantom Kid has left, so let’s go as soon as possible before Bane’s people arrive at Midtown Island.” 

Blake suggested. 

Everyone looked at Gordon, waiting for him to give orders. 

“Well, the rookie is right, let’s go.” 

Gordon smiled at his long-lost subordinates and gave the order to retreat. 

When they came to the coast of Midtown Island, they happened to meet Barbara and others who were late. 

When the father and daughter met, their eyes were full of tears. 

This was the complete assembly of the large group, and the entire GCPD headed to Old Town via speedboat.

That’s right, Gordon took them back to the police headquarters. 

No matter how much loss it suffered, how much damage it suffered, the GCPD will always be the GCPD, Gotham’s last frontier. 

Gordon will never give up his headquarters. 

Just because the GCPD was attacked, he abandoned their headquarters and ran into the abandoned dirty sewers to survive. Moreover, after ensuring their survival, he hid for more than ten days and did nothing. It almost seemed that he became desperate and gave up struggling completely. 

That was, of course, what fake Gordon did; the real Gordon couldn’t do anything like that. 

«Sure enough, this is our chief!»

Following Gordon, every GCPD police officer had such an idea in their mind. 

“However, I have been to the GCPD before, and the arsenal there has now been emptied by Bane, and we will not have enough supplies even if we go back there.” 

“And the GCPD is too conspicuous. Bane, Black Mask, and the Penguin are all trying to annihilate us, and it’s not good for us to go back there.” 

“If they surround Gotham Police Station again, we may not even be able to escape.” 

On the way, Barbara said worriedly that it is good to have a firm will and fighting spirit, but the current situation told her not to be too optimistic. 

“Don’t worry about weapons.” 

Gordon smiled confidently. 

“A friend told me about a good place where we can get a lot of weapons and equipment without worrying about being discovered by Bane and the others.” 

“As for Bane, when he tries to besiege the GCPD again…” 

Gordon paused, his eyes firm. 

“No, I won’t wait for them to besiege the GCPD, I decided to declare war on all gangsters in Gotham now!” 

“Are you afraid of dying in battle?” 

Gordon turned to his subordinates and asked. 

“No!”
