Chapter 111: Calm and Effortless Switch!

Chapter 111: Chapter 111: Calm and Effortless Switch!

So Zhang Yang wrote another notice and posted it as a new update.

"Shōda Kazuo, your lies and shamelessness are not worth my acceptance."

"Tonight, I will visit Yamaguchi-gumi’s headquarters and take your Sunrise Ruby, giving everyone the result they’ve been waiting for."

After posting the announcement, Zhang Yang sent a physical card version of the notice via his white dove.

The moment this post went public, the comment section exploded with excitement.

[Oh my god! Kaitō Kid really spoils his fans. I’m crying!]

[Spread the word, from now on I’m a die-hard Kaitō Kid fan, no one else can compare!]

[Hahaha, does anyone in Japan want to send Shōda Kazuo a thick blanket in advance? So when he starts crying later, he can muffle himself and not disturb the neighbors!]

[I bet Kaitō Kid’s fanbase has already surpassed that of many international celebrities!]

[I never imagined Kaitō Kid would be such a fan-pleaser, actually accepting a challenge just for his fans!]

When Shōda Kazuo saw Zhang Yang’s update, he was instantly fired up.

He had seen all the mockery online, but at this point, he didn’t care about his reputation anymore. He just wanted Kaitō Kid to show up and complete the mission assigned by the Emperor.

"Yoshi! Kaitō Kid has finally agreed!"

"There can’t be a single mistake this time!"

Whether it was the task from the Emperor or the 30 million US dollar ruby he had personally bought, Shōda Kazuo couldn’t afford another failure.

After Zhang Yang publicly accepted the challenge, the crowd outside Yamaguchi-gumi’s headquarters grew even larger.

"Damn it, Kaitō Kid has already announced he’s accepting Shōda Kazuo’s challenge. If this operation fails again, Japan will really have lost all face!"

"Why is Shōda Kazuo so obsessed with challenging Kaitō Kid? Does he really think he can capture the world’s greatest thief?"

"What are you talking about? Are you saying Shōda Kazuo is wrong? He’s trying to restore Japan’s honor!"

"Come on, do you really think he can restore anything? Or is he just setting himself up to be humiliated again?"

In the crowd, various opinions buzzed back and forth.

During the last heist, people had been allowed to gather very close to the Yamaguchi-gumi building.

But this time, no one was allowed within 10 meters of the building.

Shōda Kazuo had learned his lesson about Kaitō Kid’s methods.

Once the notice was sent, Kaitō Kid was guaranteed to show up.

So this time, Shōda Kazuo wasn’t leaving any gaps in security. Every checkpoint mattered and every layer of defense could be a critical chance to strike.

As night fell, the anticipation reached its peak.

[I swear, these last few hours have felt like the slowest in my life!]

[It’s finally dark! Kaitō Kid is about to make his move!]

[I hope Shōda Kazuo has that thick blanket ready, so when he starts crying in two hours, he won’t be too loud!]

[I really can’t wait to see how Kaitō Kid is going to show up this time!]

[Yamaguchi-gumi is now officially the only place Kaitō Kid has targeted twice!]

Zhang Yang drove through the gathered crowd and stopped right at the entrance of Yamaguchi-gumi’s headquarters.

As soon as he got out of the car, the onlookers immediately started whispering.

"Is that Nakajima Misaki? Why is he here again?"

"Damn it, Nakajima Misaki is just an idiot. What’s he doing here?"

"He came alone this time. Is Shōda Kazuo really going up against Kaitō Kid by himself?"

"Did Nakajima Misaki come to stop Shōda Kazuo from making a fool of himself?"

At this moment, Zhang Yang, disguised as Nakajima Misaki, appeared at the entrance of the Yamaguchi-gumi headquarters.

This time, Shōda Kazuo didn’t invite the news network to broadcast the event, and the real Nakajima Misaki hadn’t shown up either, giving Zhang Yang the perfect opening.

He confidently walked up to the entrance, pulled out a forged ID, and the Yamaguchi-gumi guards at the door immediately reported to Shōda Kazuo.

Soon after, Zhang Yang met with Shōda Kazuo in person.

However, Shōda Kazuo had no idea that the "Nakajima Misaki" standing in front of him was actually Kaitō Kid in disguise.

That said, Shōda Kazuo had never liked Nakajima Misaki, so his attitude wasn’t exactly welcoming.

"Nakajima? What are you doing here?"

Zhang Yang put on a serious face and spoke solemnly, "His Majesty the Emperor has ordered me to stand guard with your gem until the very end."

"I will stay in the conference room as the final line of defense. I will not allow Kaitō Kid to take the ruby!"

Shōda Kazuo’s eyes darkened. He didn’t like Nakajima Misaki at all.

In many ways, Yamaguchi-gumi and Nakajima Misaki’s special operations team had always been rivals.

But since this was an imperial order, Shōda Kazuo couldn’t exactly turn him away.

As the saying goes, even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner.

Shōda Kazuo had no choice but to accept it.

"Come with me."

"Nakajima, my men are not as useless as yours. Kaitō Kid won’t have a chance of getting into the conference room!"

As they walked to the fourth floor, Shōda Kazuo couldn’t resist throwing a jab or two.

Zhang Yang wasn’t entirely sure about their real relationship, nor how Nakajima Misaki would normally respond.

So to be safe, Zhang Yang simply kept a stern face and said nothing.

Seeing this, Shōda Kazuo let out a smug snort.

At the door of the fourth-floor conference room, Shōda Kazuo picked up his radio and ordered his men to deactivate the laser security system.

After going through dual authentication to open the door, Shōda Kazuo spoke coldly.

"Get in there!"

"Nakajima, I hope this final line of defense of yours won’t be needed."

"But if it is, you’d better be worth something!"

With that, Shōda Kazuo handed over a radio.

Zhang Yang took the radio and stepped into the conference room as the heavy door slowly shut behind him.

Right there on the conference table sat the Sunrise Ruby.

Although the laser defense was shut down, the security cameras inside the conference room were still running.

With no live broadcast this time, people all over the world could only sit and wait.

A few people in the crowd outside were livestreaming, but they could only capture footage of the building’s exterior—no one could see what was happening inside.

[Oh my god! Why aren’t they letting the news crew broadcast this time?]

[Same here, I actually miss the live coverage!]

[I told you all not to trash-talk them too much. Now look, there’s not even a stream to watch!]

[What’s going on? Hasn’t Kaitō Kid appeared yet?]

[This is already the second time he’s hit the Yamaguchi-gumi building. For all we know, he might already be inside!]

While the outside world buzzed with speculation, Zhang Yang was already making his move.

He had already confirmed during his visit the night before that the conference room had full-coverage cameras with no blind spots.

But this time, he came prepared.

[Ding!]

[Activating electromagnetic interference. Interference strength set to 70%, duration set to 3 seconds!]

As the system counted down the three seconds, Zhang Yang swiftly swapped the real Sunrise Ruby with the fake red glass replica he had prepared.
