Livestream: Awakening as Kaitō Kid, Shocking the World-Chapter 38: A Joint Operation! Kaitō Kid Walking into a Trap?!
Chapter 38 - 38: A Joint Operation! Kaitō Kid Walking into a Trap?!
After landing the helicopter on the rooftop, Zhang Yang quickly disappeared.
Flying a helicopter around the city attracted way too much attention.
If more eyes were on him, getting away would be even harder than it was on the cruise.
Once he came down from the building, he casually snatched some unlucky guy's car and drove home.
Back at his place, Zhang Yang took out the Dragon Head and snapped a photo, posting it to his feed.
The internet instantly exploded with shock.
[The Dragon Head? It's the Dragon Head!]
[What the hell? Another one of the Twelve Bronze Zodiac Heads!]
[Unbelievable—another one! Kaitō Kid has now stolen two of the Twelve Bronze Zodiac Heads!]
[Oh my god, where does Kaitō Kid get his info?]
The Twelve Bronze Zodiac Heads were world-famous. Now, two of these top-level cultural relics, missing for a hundred years, were in Zhang Yang's hands. Of course, it caused a sensation.
Meanwhile, the British aristocrats also saw Zhang Yang's latest post.
They were stunned. The item the Japanese Embassy had secretly escorted turned out to be the Dragon Head!
No matter how well the Japanese tried to keep it under wraps, the truth was now out in the open.
This failed escort mission infuriated Japan.
They immediately contacted Britain, demanding an explanation.
They wanted the Dragon Head recovered and returned to them!
But Britain didn't bother being polite. Instead, they harshly blamed the Japanese agents—especially Kameda Motoji—for screwing up MI5's operation with his string of stupid mistakes.
Even funnier, both sides were now throwing blame, each insisting the other should take responsibility and recover the Dragon Head.
And on Zhang Yang's end, he noticed two very interesting private messages pop up in his inbox.
[Dear Mr. Kaitō Kid, I am a royal representative of Britain. We would like to purchase the Dragon Head from you. You may name your price—as long as it's not outrageous, we are willing to pay. Also, we will not pursue your past actions.]
[Mr. Kaitō Kid, greetings. I am the head of the Japanese Embassy. I am willing to offer any price you desire to buy the Dragon Head. Please contact us.]
"Interesting."
Just an hour ago, they were all desperate to catch him. Now their messages respectfully addressed him as Mr. Kaitō Kid.
Zhang Yang simply chuckled and shook his head.
There were plenty of other messages too, all trying to buy the Dragon Head.
Any one of the Twelve Bronze Zodiac Heads was priceless, world-renowned.
Not a single message dared to mention a specific price.
Because something like the Dragon Head wasn't just valuable—it was beyond value. freeweɓnøvel.com
[Ding!]
[Congratulations, mission complete. Successfully stole the Dragon Head!]
[Mission reward: Kaitō Kid's Magical Wardrobe!]
With the Dragon Head in his hands, Zhang Yang's inbox was blowing up.
But soon, the system issued a return mission, so those who wanted to buy the Dragon Head could forget it.
[Ding!]
[Return Mission: Return the Dragon Head to the Dragon Nation to unlock skill upgrades!]
[Upgrading your skills will allow you to use Kaitō Kid's abilities with even greater perfection!]
Zhang Yang shot up from the sofa—Kaitō Kid's skills had levels?
With his current abilities, he could already toy with Harrison and the others with ease.
If he could level up and use the skills more perfectly, Zhang Yang couldn't even imagine how incredible that would feel!
While Britain and Japan were still busy arguing, Zhang Yang had already left home with the Dragon Head in hand.
They probably never expected that while they were ready to offer top money to buy back the Dragon Head, Zhang Yang would head straight to the Dragon Nation Embassy!
Last time, Zhang Yang had already returned the Serpent Head to the Dragon Nation Embassy, so now the internet was full of speculation—would he return the Dragon Head too?
[Fuck! Kaitō Kid must be a spy from the Dragon Nation, stealing artifacts back to his country!]
[Mr. Kaitō Kid is a true patriot—he deserves a place of honor in the Ancestral Temple!]
[What the hell? How is this happening? Why does everything Kaitō Kid steals end up with the Dragon Nation?]
[Damn it, the Dragon Nation must have paid him a fortune—they're just as cunning!]
[This is hilarious. You don't even have the thing in your hands—what's the point of yelling here?]
While they ranted online, Harrison was doing everything he could to catch Kaitō Kid!
Right now, he was stationed outside the Dragon Nation Embassy, based on his experience from the last two times.
Every item Kaitō Kid stole ended up back in the Dragon Nation.
Though the Dragon Nation never officially responded, Harrison wasn't stupid—Kaitō Kid was almost certainly one of theirs!
They just didn't have solid proof yet.
Not long after, the guards at the Dragon Nation Embassy spotted Harrison and his men and immediately reported it up the chain.
"They're clearly lying in wait for Kaitō Kid!"
"Keep a close watch on them—report anything suspicious right away!"
The head of the embassy quickly sent word to Zhang Yang.
But Zhang Yang was already on his way to the embassy and hadn't checked his messages.
After waiting a few minutes without a reply, the embassy head grew more anxious.
He had watched the whole heist on the cruise live.
If this time was like the last two, he knew Zhang Yang should be arriving any minute.
"But Harrison and the others are still outside the embassy..."
This time, Harrison wasn't just here on his own—the British royal family wanted him to catch Kaitō Kid too.
They'd been outsmarted twice before, letting the artifacts slip back to the Dragon Nation.
Now they were being careful. And since the Dragon Head belonged to Japan, even if they couldn't catch Kaitō Kid, they at least wanted to keep the Dragon Head on British soil!
Just then, Harrison, sitting in his car, got a call from MI5's top brass.
"Harrison, Japan has requested that their agents join forces with you."
"They tried to secretly escort the Dragon Head home, but now, if Kaitō Kid shows up at the Dragon Nation Embassy, you must catch him and bring him to MI5!"
"Remember—neither Kaitō Kid nor the Dragon Head can end up in Japan's hands!"
This might look like Britain and Japan working together.
But really, it was all for show—each side had its own agenda.
Shortly after Harrison got off the call, Kameda Motoji showed up with a team.
After failing to escort the Dragon Head home, he had already faced the Emperor's wrath.
Even though he didn't want to work with Harrison, he had to prevent Britain from pulling any tricks and keeping the Dragon Head for themselves!
When Kameda arrived, he didn't even get out to greet Harrison.
Now there were four cars parked across from the Dragon Nation Embassy—two from MI5, two from Japan—and every seat filled.
The embassy guards noticed the extra cars and reported it right away.
"Two more cars just pulled up?"
"Probably Japanese agents. Keep an eye on them!"
