Chapter 107: The AirWalk Mystery is Cracked 

The next day, a few minutes before midnight, at the backstage of the Stark Expo Center Pavilion, Tony and Pepper were talking.

At this time, Tony had already put on his steel suit.

"Tony, you should know why we planned this out."

Pepper stared at Tony with a serious face, fearing that he would do something irrational when his temper gets out of hand.

"Don't worry, Pepper. I certainly don't want to die. As long as there is the slightest possibility, I won't give up. But the premise of this all is that Phantom Kid really knows how to treat my palladium poisoning."

Tony put his hand on Pepper's shoulder to signal her peace of mind.

"Even if I am having a hard time believing how good a thief is in chemistry, it's just...I really have no other choice now."

"If that bat is going to come and get him, he's going to have to wait until I get my answer from him!"

"Wait, what did you just say?"

Pepper asked in surprise as she slapped down Tony's hand on her shoulder.

"Late last night, after the fair was fully closed, Batman came here and carefully checked both buildings. The buildings' Kid was between."

"If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't sleep last night and stayed here all night, I wouldn't know that he had been here, because the monitor hadn't photographed him at all."

"I don't know why but obviously Batman is obsessed with Phantom Kid."

Tony said.

"That's not the point of my question. What exactly did you mean by that sentence? Are you planning to help Phantom Kid when Batman goes to catch him?"

Pepper's brows furrowed tightly.

"Are you crazy, Tony?"

"I'm not, I know exactly what I'm doing."

"If Phantom Kid knows a way to save me, then what's wrong with helping him out for once?"

Tony asked indifferently.

"The problem is: when people see Iron Man stopping Batman in order to help Phantom Kid, do you know what will happen?"

"No, I am not going to do it to help Kid, I am going to do it to catch Batman."

Hearing this, Tony smiled confidently.

"In Gotham, Batman is still the most wanted criminal. I believe that Chief Gordon of GCPD would be very happy to let me help him catch Batman."

Pepper was dumbfounded for a moment, not knowing what to make of Tony's idea.

"Are you so sure that Batman can crack the magic trick performed by Kid yesterday?"

"Haha, Pepper, that's not a magic trick."

Tony laughed and said, "Don't forget that Phantom Kid has a partner. With the presence of two people, it couldn't be easier to walk in the air like yesterday."

"Kid only needs to let his helper fly the helicopter over his head, and we will subconsciously believe that there is nothing above Kid's head."

"But in fact, he only needs to use claw hooks to hang the steel wire on the railings of the buildings on both sides at the beginning, and let himself hang in the air on the two buildings first."

"At the time Unit Nr 7 appeared above Kid's, he used another wire to hang himself vertically from it."

"Then, before George's men reached the top of the building, the steel wires on the railings on both sides of the building were taken back, so that the policemen would not be able to find the steel wires at the feet of the Kid or on the fence."

"Maybe, if they searched more carefully they could have found the scratch marks left on the railing when the claw hooks were retrieved, but no one would have been meticulous enough to do that under those circumstances."

"Not to mention that Kid had already been walking in the sky, and the possibility of the existence of steel wires on the fence has almost been subconsciously ruled out."

Hearing this, Pepper nodded clearly.

"Did you notice it yesterday? Phantom Kid accurately controlled his steps. About one meter per step, but with his height, his normal stride should be between 60 cm and 70 cm."

"In other words, he was not really walking in the sky, but being flown forward by a helicopter. His footsteps had also been recorded in advance and played with a loudspeaker, but his acting skills are superb enough to deceive everyone's eyes."

"After all, no matter how good Kid's helper is at flying the helicopter, it is impossible to accurately go onward at only a few tens of centimeters per second."

At this point, the secret of the air walk was cracked by Tony.

"Ladies and Gentlemen!"

"We meet again!"

Suddenly, the voice of Phantom Kid rang from all directions.

Tony and Pepper looked at each other and took the elevator backstage to the top of the building together.

A cloud of smoke exploded, and Phantom Kid reappeared in the same position as yesterday.

"Kid!"

"Kid!"

"Kid!"

After the air walk performed by Phantom Kid yesterday, Mathison finally had his first loyal fan group in New York.

And now, when he appeared, countless people cheered and screamed for him.

They screamed Kid's name in unison.

"Clack… click… clack..."

In front of tens of thousands of people, Phantom Kid once again showed exactly the same performance as yesterday.

"Coulson, Phantom Kid has appeared and is under surveillance."

On a hidden building nearby, Barton lurked on and watched Phantom Kid step by step towards the center pavilion.

Twelve elite agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. were distributed in various hidden high buildings around, some are disguised as ordinary people, and some are lurking behind obstacles.

Without exception, all directions of Phantom Kid were locked.

"I have seen him too, it is still not the right time for us to act. Keep your watch."

From the roof of a building 1,600 meters away from the center pavilion, Coulson held a sniper rifle, staring at the roof of the center pavilion.

There was Tony, Pepper, Chief George and his elite subordinates.

Of course, there is also the target of Phantom Kid.

The Mountain of Light.

This priceless diamond is being kept in a glass cabinet made of super-hardened glass at this time.

The glass cabinet is dead-set on a highly technological table that automatically retracts beneath the floor with the flick of a switch.

Into a special treasure room downstairs.

Coulson's purpose was not to snipe Tony or any one of them, but to confirm where Phantom Kid would go next, once he steals the Mountain of Light.

"Mr. Stark, Phantom Kid is ahead. You have to put on your battle suit. Why are you still standing here and not stopping him?"

George looked at Tony and asked in a weird voice.
