Chapter 30: Being Taken Advantage Of

Because just after the mine owner auctioned the golden green cat's eye, he suddenly died in less than a week!

The cause of death is said to be sudden death from myocardial infarction caused by excessive drinking.

As for how the 20 million US dollars of inheritance will be handled after the mine owner's death, there is no news.

It is only known that the mine owner has a daughter in her twenties, but it seems that she has lost the inheritance rights due to some unknown factors.

There is a very small description in the only report clips, saying that the mine owner's daughter once claimed that her father had no habit of alcoholism, and even basically did not drink much.

But someone made the mine owner's drunken sudden death seem reasonable on the grounds that "the huge blow of bankruptcy can easily change a person."

Yes, this someone is a lawyer hired by Daggett. It was this lawyer who made trouble and made the mine owner's daughter lose the inheritance rights, and even forced to drop out of school because of the loss of economic source...

Gotham City, East District.

The most chaotic and dirty area in the entire city, gathering more than 90% of Gotham's poor and homeless.

This is also the birthplace of countless talents in Arkham Asylum.

Deep in the slums, in a dilapidated little house, Pamela curled up in a corner, hugging her knees tightly with her hands.

She didn't dare to run outside because she was too beautiful. In the chaotic East District, the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is.

The shabby wooden door that creaked when the wind blew could not give Pamela any sense of security. She was afraid all the time that a group of impatient beasts might break in the next second.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Suddenly, a knock on the door came, and Pamela trembled all over.

She trembled and leaned against the door, hoping to block the possible door-breaking.

"Excuse me, is this Miss Ashley inside?"

Pamela didn't dare to answer. Although the voice outside the door was warm and friendly, it didn't mean that she could open the door without any defense.

Because in addition to the gangsters who might come to the door, Daggett's people might also come here.

She had seen enough of those ugly faces of those hypocritical people, so she didn't want to pay attention to the people outside the door.

"I'm not Daggett's man. I'm here to help you."

Outside the door, Maggieson said softly. After waiting for a long time, he still didn't get a response from Pamela, so he had to give up the idea of ​​asking her to open the door.

First, he stuffed an envelope into the crack of the door, then he stepped back and said, "Miss Ashley, I feel sympathy for your experience, so I come here sincerely to return the lost property."

"If Daggett knows about this, he will definitely harm you again, so leave Gotham quickly. In addition to your things, there is also a ticket to New York in the envelope."

Hearing these words, Pamela looked puzzled. Why couldn't she understand what the man outside said at all.

Looking down, there was actually a white envelope sticking out from under the crack of the door.

Pamela picked up the envelope doubtfully and opened it. She saw that it was the golden green cat's eye that her father had taken to auction!

Just as the person outside the door said, the envelope contained not only the golden green cat's eye, but also a ticket to New York and a thousand dollars in cash. Although it was not much, it was enough to make Pamela's eyes red and cover her mouth.

"Thank you."

At this time, Pamela could not say anything else except these two words.

Of course, she also knew who the person outside the door was. She also knew that the matter of Kaito Kid stealing the golden green cat's eye was a hot topic.

"You're welcome. You can go directly to the dock by going south from here. You don't have to worry about the road. Those little gangsters can't hurt you."

"Oh, by the way, your clothes should be too old to wear now. I also brought you a new set of clothes, but there is no way for you to take a shower, so you can only make do with it."

Maggieson put the big bag in his hand on the ground and said, "The clothes can't be stuffed through the crack of the door. I know you won't trust strangers now, so I won't appear in your sight."

Pamela listened quietly. After a while, she heard footsteps going away, and soon all the sounds outside disappeared.

After a while, she carefully poked her head out. Sure enough, there was a bag of clothes outside the door, and no one could be seen. Even the sound of fighting that used to happen every night had disappeared.

Pamela pursed her lips, decided to trust Maggieson once, and took the bag back to the house.

"This... size is just right?"

After changing her clothes, Pamela was surprised to find that the clothes fit her well.

"Kaito Kidd, what a magical person..."

The ship was to depart tonight, so without further ado, Pamela packed up and walked out the door, running towards the pier.

Along the way, she was not harassed at all.

At first, Pamela was a little worried, but soon she was relieved.

When she was about to reach the pier, Pamela suddenly stopped.

She looked hesitant and kept looking around, as if trying to find someone.

"Miss Ashley, are you looking for me?"

Without warning, a gentle voice sounded behind Pamela.

This voice has a magical power that can soothe people's anxiety.

Pamela turned her head sharply and saw the white thief.

Even though she had seen many pictures of the thief, it was the first time she saw it with her own eyes.

At this moment, Pamela was attracted by the style of the thief Kidd and was fascinated by him.

"Ahem, Miss Ashley?"

Maggieson coughed twice to remind her.

"Ah! Sorry, I'm so rude."

Pamela's face flushed.

"Don't mind, Miss Ashley, I'm glad you are willing to meet me."

Maggieson smiled gently, and he knelt on one knee like a gentleman and slowly took Pamela's hand.

Then he kissed the back of her hand gently.

"Mr. Kidd...?"

Pamela blushed and pulled back her hand, her heart beating like a deer.

Hearing this name, Maggieson was stunned, and then understood.

No one knows the real name of the thief, so he can only call Kidd as a name.

"You risked your life to steal my father's relics from Daggett and helped me leave Gotham. Thank you very much!"

Pamela said seriously, the blush on her face had not yet faded, and with her already pretty face, she looked very cute.

It seems that Pamela thought that the thief Kidd stole the gem to help her get justice.

Maggieson was ashamed, because he didn't know this when he stole the gem.

However, let this wonderful misunderstanding continue.

"I know that if I continue to stay in Gotham, I will be retaliated by Daggett sooner or later, but what will happen if I go to New York?"

"This gem caused my father's tragedy, so I don't want to keep it anymore..."

Pamela's eyes were full of confusion, and that's why she didn't run to the dock in one breath.

"This is easy. There is a man named Tony Stark in New York. You take the golden green cat's eye to him and explain everything to him. He will buy the gemstone, and he will not do what Daggett did."

"As for Daggett, you don't have to worry too much about him."

Maggieson pointed out a clear way for her.

After hearing what Maggieson said, Pamela finally put her mind at ease.

"Woo~Woo~"

At this time, the whistle sounded from the direction of the dock, and the cruise ship set sail!

"No, there are still ten minutes before the departure time?"

Pamela panicked. Who would have thought that the cruise ship would set off early at this time? It would be good if it was not late at ordinary times.

"Don't be afraid, I'll take you up."

Maggieson gave Pamela a reassuring smile, took her hand and ran to the building not far away.

After reaching the top of the building, Maggieson turned his head and asked, "Have you ever experienced the feeling of flying?"

"Ah?" Pamela was stunned.

"Remember to hold me tight!"

I saw Maggieson pick up Pamela by the waist, sprint towards the pier, run to the edge of the roof, and jump down!

"Ah!" Pamela screamed in fear, closed her eyes, and hugged Maggieson's neck tightly with her arms.

"Haha, Miss Ashley, don't be afraid, we won't fall down."

Hearing Kidd's teasing, Pamela slowly opened her eyes, and then was shocked by the scene in front of her and couldn't speak.

I actually flew in the sky, and the night view of Gotham was unobstructed. Looking down, the sparse pedestrians were like ants, and the blurred lights were flashing everywhere.

"So beautiful..."

Pamela murmured.

"Yes, it's beautiful. Even the night of Gotham sometimes has a beautiful side."

Listening to Maggieson's words, Pamela turned her eyes to the face of the Kaito Kidd. What kind of face is under the monocle?

Maggieson held her in his arms, and at this moment, she only needed to reach out to take off Kidd's glasses.

Pamela was curious about Kidd's true appearance, but she knew that this was Maggieson's biggest secret, so she didn't do it, but stared at Maggieson's face with her eyes fixed.

She felt that no woman in the world could resist Kidd's charm.

Unconsciously, Pamela's face got closer and closer to Maggieson, and finally kissed him on the cheek.

"!"

Maggieson's eyes widened instantly. Was he... taken advantage of?
