"Damn it! What's going on?"
Kaito Kuroba looked at the incredibly cute girl rushing towards him and felt a headache coming on.
She's so cute, yet her methods are so violent.
The contrast is too great!
I only took a light punch from her while I was in the smoke bomb, and my ribs are still hurting!
And how exactly did she find herself?
Kaito Kuroba quickly noticed the gray marks on his wrist, which must have been smeared on by Mrs. Suzuki when she pulled him along!
Sure enough, today was all a trap!
The gray substance seemed to have seeped into the skin; Kaito Kuroba knew this as soon as he tried it.
It definitely won't be able to be removed in a short time!
As for damaging those glasses...
Let's not even talk about whether the other party has a backup.
He doesn't dare get close to that girl named Xiaolan now, and breaking those glasses is harder than climbing to heaven.
To make matters worse, the ship's guards had already realized what was happening and began to surround him.
Although these guards were elite, they were not a problem for him, since his disguise skills were superb and the guards could not find him at all.
But that won't work now!
They just need to follow that girl named Xiaolan—
You can then find your own trail!
The banquet hall became unusually lively.
Some of the guests at the banquet were initially quite nervous.
After all, Kaito Kid is infamous.
No one knows if he might suddenly attack someone or even take the distinguished guests here hostage.
however--
After seeing Xiaolan chasing him around like crazy.
The guests present were no longer panicked.
Instead, it felt like watching a good show, preparing to see how that cute yet incredibly skilled girl would catch the Phantom Thief Kid!
The encirclement was getting smaller and smaller.
Kaito Kuroba threw out another smoke bomb.
Then he turned and fled out of the banquet hall.
Kaito Kuroba disguised himself as a staff member.
During the brief chase.
He finally understood something.
Don't confront that girl named Xiaolan directly.
The other side showed mercy even while they were in the smoke!
If I went all out, I probably wouldn't even be able to withstand one punch!
He hurried towards the top deck of the ship, already able to hear Xiaolan's light yet powerful footsteps.
Sighed softly.
This operation was a complete failure!
Not only could Mrs. Suzuki see through her disguise, but she was also placed under a tracking device.
There was also a difficult and skilled young lady.
There's no point in staying on this ship now!
No wonder Xia Ye readily agreed not to interfere; he knew he was bound to fail!
Damn it! Let's retreat!
soon--
The top deck of the Isabella.
The place where Natsume and Tomoko Suzuki fought during the day.
Kaito Kuroba was cornered at the edge of the platform by Ran and a group of guards. Ran, with an excited smile on her pretty face, tried to persuade him to surrender:
"Black...cough cough, Phantom Thief Kid, surrender now, you have nowhere to run!"
You were thinking of talking about Kaito Kuroba, weren't you?
You definitely mean Kaito Kuroba, right?
Kaito Kuroba's eyes were filled with grief and indignation. How many girls had that bastard Natsume told about his identity? How could anyone live like that?
Think of this.
He didn't want to fall into Xiaolan's hands.
That might lead to Xia Ye laughing at us!
And then—bang!
Kaito Kuroba instantly reverted to Kaito Kid's white outfit, a hang glider unfolding behind him. He lightly leaped off the ship's rooftop platform.
"Miss Xiaolan, you've won this time!"
"We'll see you later!"
Then he disappeared in a disheveled state into the vast night.
Wow! This is at sea!
Ran was startled, but then she thought about it and realized there shouldn't be any problem. Kaito Kuroba wasn't stupid; he wouldn't commit suicide.
So she waved and led her people toward the banquet hall.
...
On the sea in the distance.
Terai Kinosuke followed behind the Isabella in his small yacht, the boat bobbing up and down with the waves.
He looked worriedly at the lights of the Isabella in the distance and murmured:
"I hope everything goes well for you, young master—uh!"
He was slightly taken aback!
A faint white light flickered in the distant sky.
If it weren't for the magician's eyesight he honed under Master Daoyi's tutelage, he wouldn't have been able to see that extremely faint light at all.
problem occurs!
Terai Kinosuke quickly slapped the button next to the helm.
A dazzling beam of light shot into the sky from the searchlight on the small yacht, forming a striking beacon.
The white light in the night sky seemed to have seen this place.
It quickly located its position and flew over here.
Soon after.
Kaito Kuroba landed on the small deck of the yacht, retracted his glider, and looked at the colossal Isabella in the distance with a sigh:
"Thank goodness you were careful, Mr. Terai, otherwise I would have had to swim back this time!"
"It's good that the young master is alright. Luckily, that cruise ship was on a coastal route, otherwise our small yacht wouldn't have been able to reach the open sea at all—"
"Then you're in danger, young master!"
As Terai Kinosuke turned the helm back to shore, he asked:
"Young Master, your mission failed?"
"what is going on?"
"We've been ambushed!"
Kaito Kuroba felt quite depressed as he thought about what had happened tonight:
"That Mrs. Tomoko from the Suzuki Group is indeed a troublesome character. She completely outmaneuvered me in this operation, and I almost didn't escape!"
"I already told you, young master, since you know that Spider-Man, Mr. Xia Ye, why not just ask him for a favor? Why provoke that terrifying lady from the Suzuki Group—"
Terai Huangnosuke sighed:
“She’s been quieter these past few years. You young people don’t know her reputation. Back then, even though Master Dao was so powerful, the Suzuki Group wasn’t as strong as it is now, and he never stole anything from the Suzuki Group. Do you know why, young master?”
"Because of Mrs. Suzuki?"
Kaito Kuroba asked curiously.
"Correct!"
Terai Kinosuke's gaze lingered as he drifted into memories.
"At that time, the Suzuki Group was in a critical period of development, but it was blocked by the other three major groups and even some smaller groups. That lady was insane at the time. Anyone who targeted the Suzuki Group was her enemy. Master Daoyi dared not get involved in that mess!"
"That sounds really exciting!"
Kaito Kuroba became interested and pressed for more information:
"What about the end?"
"Finally~"
Terai Kinosuke glanced back at the Isabella, which was gradually disappearing into the distance until its lights were almost out of sight, his eyes filled with awe: "Those small conglomerates that dared to get involved were all wiped out, the other three major conglomerates were severely weakened, and the Suzuki Conglomerate became the number one conglomerate in Japan, and still is to this day~"
"That's really impressive!" Kaito Kuroba exclaimed.
"It seems that lady went easy on me. Tonight's trap had me running around in circles, but it must have been nothing more than a joke to her. She was clearly using me to liven up her family's 60th anniversary banquet."
"It's good that you understand, young master~" Terai Kinosuke nodded and instructed, "Next time, let's not provoke that lady~"
"Don't worry, Mr. Terai~" Kaito Kuroba chuckled and looked in the direction of Tokyo.
"We don't need to provoke that lady anymore, because Suzuki Jirokichi, the advisor of the Suzuki Group who has been criticizing me in various media outlets lately, is about to return to Japan. I have a feeling that we will have to deal with him soon!"
"That's not bad either~"
It wasn't that Terai Kinosuke completely forbade Kaito from touching the Suzuki Group. With such a powerful and established family, the "Pandora's Gem" that Kaito was looking for might be hidden in one of their treasure vaults. However—
"That lady..."
"I know that!"
Kaito Kuroba's handsome face, which resembled Shinichi Kudo, suddenly revealed a mysterious, gossipy look.
"Let me tell you, Mr. Terai, I just smelled Natsume's scent on Mrs. Tomoko. She definitely took a bath, yet Natsume's scent is still there. Mr. Terai, you should understand what's going on, right?"
"hiss--!"
The usually composed Terai Kinosuke gasped, his expression turning utterly horrified. He looked at Kuroba Kaito and solemnly instructed him:
"Young Master, remember this, you absolutely, positively must not tell anyone about this, understand?"
"Of course I know!" Kaito Kuroba isn't a child; he understands the importance of things.
"If this kind of nuclear-level scandal were to get out, it wouldn't just shake me, it would shake the entire country. How could I dare to tell everyone? I'm only telling you, Mr. Terai~"
"That's good~"
Terai Kinosuke felt a little relieved.
"Young Master, you've really grown up!"
"You're just too much of a worrywart~" Kaito Kuroba sat down in his seat in the cabin and said with a smile:
"I helped Natsume quite a bit back then. Although I've paid it back this time, the connection will remain. Given Mrs. Tomoko's relationship with Natsume, she shouldn't target me specifically in the future, so Mr. Terai, you don't need to worry."
