Livestream: Awakening as Kaitō Kid, Shocking the World-Chapter 95: Humiliation! Making Global Headlines!
Chapter 95: Chapter 95: Humiliation! Making Global Headlines!
After listening to Nakajima Misaki’s request, the Island Nation’s emperor didn’t lose his temper. From a certain perspective, the importance of the Sakura Shrine even surpassed that of the Imperial Palace.
In the eyes of the Island Nation’s people, those enshrined there were warriors who had sacrificed their lives for the nation. They were revered and honored.
"Nakajima, if we send in military forces, then the nature of this operation changes entirely."
"Can you guarantee that Kaitō Kid will be captured?"
At this point, Nakajima knew that making any promises would be pointless. But still, he gave a military-style declaration to show his determination.
"Your Majesty, I will do everything in my power to capture Kaitō Kid!"
"If this mission fails again, I will atone with my life!"
The emperor still held a degree of trust in Nakajima’s abilities.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made him his personal agent, responsible for his safety.
"Nakajima, I will trust you one last time."
"Don’t disappoint me. This operation carries the full weight of our national pride. Even if you die, failure is not an option!"
Nakajima gave a firm nod.
"I will defend the honor of the Island Nation with my life!"
The emperor personally called the general and instructed him to send two elite squads to support Nakajima at the Sakura Shrine.
Meanwhile, media outlets around the world were still flooding the internet with nonstop coverage of Kaitō Kid’s theft of the Imperial Palace and how he managed to get inside.
And now, the complete return of the Twelve Bronze Zodiac Heads to the Dragon Nation—followed by Kaitō Kid’s new public challenge targeting the Island Nation’s Sakura Shrine.
Every single one of these was a world-shaking headline.
[Kaitō Kid is dragging the Island Nation through the dirt with zero mercy!]
[The Imperial Palace and the Sakura Shrine—both are the nation’s most sacred sites. This Island Nation arc is absolutely wild!]
[Oh my god! What does the Sakura Shrine even have? Isn’t Kaitō Kid just a master thief?]
[These people are insane. Who puts valuable artifacts in a war memorial shrine? Are they serious?!]
[Shit! Are we sure Kaitō Kid got the right intel? Is there really something valuable at the Sakura Shrine?]
At this point, no one cared about the earlier news stories anymore.
It was Kaitō Kid’s latest announcement that had everyone fired up again—his target, the Island Nation’s Sakura Shrine.
Around 2 p.m., the two elite military squads arrived at the shrine.
By now, Nakajima Misaki had been awake for nearly two full days without sleep. His body and mind were pushed to their limits.
But he forced himself to endure. If Kaitō Kid managed to pull off another heist at the Sakura Shrine, he wouldn’t just lose his career—he’d lose all honor. He really would have no choice but to die in disgrace.
After finishing his strategic arrangements for the two squads, Sente walked over and asked, "Commander Nakajima, does your Sakura Shrine house anything truly valuable?"
"To our understanding, Kaitō Kid only ever strikes when a priceless global treasure is involved."
Nakajima replied without hesitation.
"Commander Sente, the Sakura Shrine is a sacred place where we enshrine the fallen warriors of our nation. I don’t know what Kaitō Kid is targeting here."
Seeing that response, Sente sighed and shrugged helplessly.
Once again, they were working blind—with no idea what the Phantom Thief’s true target was. That kind of mission would inevitably drain their energy and resources.
But with Nakajima unwilling to give specifics, there wasn’t much they could do.
"Alright."
"Commander Nakajima, we’ll need to familiarize ourselves with the layout of your Sakura Shrine in advance. Let’s hope we have a smooth collaboration tonight—and catch Kaitō Kid together."
Nakajima Misaki nodded solemnly.
Outside the Sakura Shrine, large crowds had gathered—some were fans of Kaitō Kid, while others were staunch defenders of the Yasukuni Shrine. But regardless of which side they were on, all were eagerly awaiting the night’s action.
"What’s inside the Sakura Shrine? Why did Kaitō Kid send his challenge notice there?"
"Baka! That damned Kaitō Kid! After making a mess of the Imperial Palace, now he’s targeting the Sakura Shrine. The spirits of the dead won’t forgive him!"
"Tonight at the Sakura Shrine is going to be wild—I can’t wait!"
"Those who just went in are from the Island Nation’s most elite Self-Defense Force units. Must’ve been dispatched directly by the Emperor to catch Kaitō Kid!"
"Unbelievable. To mobilize the military just to catch a thief—what a disgrace!"
At this moment, the entire Sakura Shrine had gone into lockdown. It was under full military-grade alert.
The two elite Self-Defense Force units were fully armed—not only with rifles but automatic ones at that.
Even more extreme, they carried two spare magazines each, along with sidearms, combat knives, smoke grenades, flashbangs—true battlefield-level gear.
While the crowd outside buzzed with speculation, two vehicles slowly rolled into the shrine, making the onlookers gape in shock.
"Nani? That’s a news van? From the national broadcasting station?"
"Wait, are they planning to live-broadcast the entire operation at the Sakura Shrine too?"
"Baka! Haven’t they embarrassed themselves enough? Why bring in the press again?!"
"Let’s just hope they actually catch Kaitō Kid this time. If not, the Island Nation’s dignity will be beyond saving!"
The Island Nation’s press had been surprised when they got the directive.
After all, last night’s failed operation at the Imperial Palace was now being broadcast and mocked around the world.
Frankly speaking, the entire country had become a global joke.
At least for now, the theft of the Twelve Bronze Zodiac Heads from the Imperial Palace by Kaitō Kid wasn’t something the media would let go of any time soon.
So when they learned Kaitō Kid had issued another challenge—and to the Sakura Shrine, no less—they initially didn’t plan to do any follow-up coverage.
But then the Island Nation’s authorities issued a directive: the press must go to the Sakura Shrine for a live broadcast.
[Wait, what? This is the Island Nation’s Sakura Shrine? And they’re really livestreaming again?]
[Hahaha! Damn, these people really aren’t afraid of public embarrassment! Another livestream?!]
[What the hell? Are they trying to monopolize all the international headlines?]
[Well, this is a surprise. We get to watch another Kaitō Kid performance tonight!]
Even though everyone already knew Kaitō Kid had announced his target as the Sakura Shrine, no one had expected that after all the humiliation and mockery from the global press, the Island Nation would actually dare to livestream again.
[Oh my god! I can’t believe it—they’re really livestreaming again!]
[Stop complaining. Who cares if they’re embarrassing themselves? If they didn’t livestream, what would I watch? I just want to see Kaitō Kid—what’s wrong with that?]
[This feels so familiar. Remember when Britain tried to act all tough? In the end, Kaitō Kid still brought them to their knees.]
[No matter how strong they think they are, the Island Nation really has the thickest skin. The whole world is mocking them, and they still go live like it’s nothing!]
Within just five minutes of the Island Nation’s livestream going live, viewer counts were approaching one billion.
Thanks to global coverage, people everywhere now knew of one name—a legendary thief: Kaitō Kid.
And now, the whole world knew that tonight, he would once again appear at the Island Nation’s Sakura Shrine.
