Phantom Kid in the World of American Comics

Chapter 90: Tony The Narcissistic

“This is Tony Stark?”

Among the audience, Barbara asked Pamela with a weird look.

“Uh… yes, he is that kind of person, one and only in the world. Once you spend enough time in New York, you will get to know more about him. Let’s just call him a free soul for now.’”

Pamela smiled dryly.

“I thought that Mr. Stark, as Iron Man, should be different from what the media says about him, but now I realized that the way the news describe him is too euphemistic actually.”

Barbara was confusedly speechless.

The man was dancing shamelessly in public. Not only that, he has found a bunch of sexy dancers to accompany him on stage. Even worse, he actually let them cosplay into Iron Man!

Iron Man was way different in attitude to other peers of his…. She couldn’t help but imagine Batman in his place.

Huh?

Barbara couldn’t help but shiver.

The scene was too astonishing for her to look at.

“But then again, Mr. Stark doesn’t seem to take Phantom Kid seriously at all. He didn’t even keep a few security guards around. Tony Stark is totally on his own, performing.”

Barbara stopped the horror fantasy in her head and turned to another matter.

“Huh! You dare to underestimate Kid-sama? Even Iron Man will suffer a big loss! I bet it won’t be long before Kid-sama will show up in the moonlight, and then use his gorgeous magic tricks to take that reactor charmingly.”

At this time, a loud female voice came from behind Barbara and Pamela.

“This voice, this tone belongs to…”

Barbara seemed to have thought of someone, and quickly looked back.

It really is Daisy!

“Daisy, why are you here?”

Barbara asked in surprise.

“Didn’t you say you want to go back to Gotham?”

When Barbara mentioned this, Daisy’s face became gloomy.

“Originally, my plan was like that, but then something else happened. It was Jane’s mentor, Dr. Selvig. He was invited by a secret government agency to participate in a study. He had to go to New York to hand over some things first. And Jane decided to follow along.”

“Jane is very worried about this secret agency, because they actually lied to her, being members of the FBI and wanted to study Thor’s hammer. In fact, they have CIA, NYPD, and even NASA badges. God knows who they are.”

“Then I thought about it. I won’t have much to do if I return to Gotham. So, I followed Jane to New York by myself. Only for Jane to find out that she cannot contact Dr. Selvig. Nevertheless, Dr. Selvig took the initiative to send a video to tell her that he was okay, and for us to wait for him. Otherwise, I’m afraid Jane will go to report him missing.”

“Then we stayed in New York for the first time, as a holiday.”

Daisy sighed.

“I’ve been thinking this month, if I had known that we couldn’t actually do anything, I wouldn’t have come along.”

“but……”

Afterwards, Daisy’s attitude changed a hundred and eighty degrees.

“Kid-sama’s notice has appeared! I can finally see his performance with my own eyes. I could only watch him in videos before. It’s really a shame. Today I can finally make up for my regret!”

“Barbara, is this your friend?”

Pamela looked at Daisy awkwardly, then asked Barbara.

“Daisy Louise, I’m Barbara’s best friend, we met at Gotham University.”

Daisy took the initiative to introduce herself.

Then, Barbara introduced Pamela to Daisy.

“What, you are the girl who was saved by Kid-sama?! I heard that he flew you in the sky in his arms, is that true?”

Daisy cried out in shock, staring at Pamela incredulously.

There were many mixed feelings in her eyes.

Envy, jealousy, anger…

Pamela, who was stared at by Daisy, felt her scalp numbing. She was afraid that this person in front of her might have some serious illness, albeit a mental one.

«It seems that she also likes Kid very much.»

Pamela looked at Daisy and thought silently.

At this moment, the music suddenly stopped.

The crowd looked toward the stage.

The dancers have backed off, and only Iron Man was left on the stage.

Tony disarmed Mark IV, a mechanical arm rose from under the floor to dismantle his steel suit.

This does not mean that he has given up all security measures, because Jarvis is monitoring everything at the expo in real-time. As long as there is a trace of abnormality, Mark IV will instantly be equipped on Tony’s body.

After all, the host of the opening ceremony is Tony Stark, not Iron Man.

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Stark Expo!”

Tony opened his arms to the entire audience and smiled broadly.

“Tony!” “Tony!” “Tony!”

Countless people cheered Tony’s name.

“I don’t actually want to say that the world has seen a period of peace that lasted the longest because of me, and I don’t want to say that…”

Then Tony started his extremely narcissistic speech.

“Ever since I was captured in that dark damp cave, I’ve learned the hard way that peace always needs someone to keep it, and that someone is me.”

“Because, I haven’t seen anyone yet who dares to face me man-to-man, a peer who is built as perfect as me!”

Tony danced around arrogantly.

“but……”

Tony lengthened his trailing voice.

“I really didn’t think that some thief, who likes to wear a white suit at night, would threaten me and to challenge me, Iron Man.”

“And so, today, I came here as promised. Phantom Kid, do you dare to appear before my eyes?”

“Oh, yes, our thief likes to pretend to be someone else, maybe he is among you.”

Tony pretended to look into the crowd.

Seeing Tony’s piety, Daisy’s brows instantly frowned.

“This guy is the biggest narcissist I have ever seen. A person like him expects Kid-sama to lose before him?”

In contrast to Daisy’s blind confidence, Pamela was a bit worried.

She has spent more time in New York than Daisy, and she has a deeper understanding of Iron Man.

Those technologies that are emerging in an endless stream can definitely not be dealt with by magic tricks.

«If any accident happens, even if it exposes my ability, I must help Kid to get out of it.»

Pamela made up her mind secretly.

The fairgrounds are covered with greenery, and Pamela’s power can be increased thanks to that.

Barbara is caught between an avid Kid fan and a person who has a crush on Kid, and dare not say a word.

“Before introducing the fair, I want to introduce a friend from Gotham to everyone. He and I are like two similar leaves on a tree.”

“We are the same age, we have the same background, the same family, the same wealth…”
