Livestream: Awakening as Kaitō Kid, Shocking the World

The people of the Island Nation were furious about the fire that destroyed the Sakura Shrine.

At the same time, they were deeply confused about how the Azure Dragon Imperial Jade Seal had ended up at the Sakura Shrine.

"Captain Nakajima, are you going to take responsibility for the fire at Sakura Shrine?"

"Why was the Azure Dragon Imperial Jade Seal at the Sakura Shrine?"

"Captain Nakajima, you must explain this and let everyone know the truth!"

The guards at the Sakura Shrine's entrance stood arm in arm, blocking the crowd. Otherwise, Nakajima Misaki and his team would have been overwhelmed by the angry mob.

These were questions that Nakajima Misaki couldn't answer. At the moment, he needed to return to deal with the fury of the Emperor of the Island Nation.

The questions from the people would be taken up by other departments. Nakajima Misaki didn't need to rush into a situation where he might meet his doom.

No matter what explanation he gave or what answers he provided, they would only add fuel to the fire.

So, Nakajima Misaki, with a dark expression, grit his teeth and led his team to retreat.

After returning to the Imperial Palace, Nakajima Misaki entered the study's secret room alone.

As he stepped inside, he saw that the Emperor of the Island Nation was already in a meeting with another person.

This person was even more famous in the Island Nation than Nakajima Misaki.

"Shōda Kazuo?"

The man was the infamous leader of the Yamaguchi-gumi, a powerful criminal syndicate in the Island Nation. Ten years ago, he was arrested for his countless crimes.

After being released from prison, he joined the Yamaguchi-gumi and quickly rose to become a prominent figure in the organization.

He eventually became the boss of the Yamaguchi-gumi, and now the entire organization was under his control.

His status was obvious.

Nakajima Misaki never imagined the Emperor of the Island Nation would meet with him, especially in the secret room of the study!

"Captain Nakajima, welcome back!"

"Unfortunately, you're not returning in triumph!"

Shōda Kazuo knew why Nakajima Misaki was so surprised, so he wasn't being polite at all.

Nakajima Misaki felt like he had been punched in the gut.

The Emperor of the Island Nation coldly snorted, clearly disappointed in Nakajima Misaki. He banged his fist on the desk and cursed.

"Nakajima, you fool! Not only did you fail to capture Kaitō Kid, but you also burned down the Sakura Shrine!"

Nakajima Misaki lowered his head, accepting the scolding.

It was true, and he had no way to argue. Any excuse would only be a flimsy one.

Shōda Kazuo smiled faintly, watching Nakajima Misaki's misery with a look of amusement.

Seeing this, the Emperor dismissed Shōda Kazuo.

"Shōda Kazuo, go back and arrange things as planned!"

"Whether Kaitō Kid is alive or dead is not important. What matters is that he must not leave the Island Nation!"

Shōda Kazuo stood up, bowed deeply.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

"The Yamaguchi-gumi will never disappoint Your Majesty!"

The Emperor waved his hand, signaling Shōda Kazuo to leave.

Once Shōda Kazuo left the secret room, Nakajima Misaki, filled with confusion, asked, "Your Majesty, are you really going to have the Yamaguchi-gumi deal with Kaitō Kid?"

At present, the Yamaguchi-gumi was a powerful force in the Island Nation, with numerous subordinates. They could gather a considerable amount of power with a single call.

The Emperor of the Island Nation gave Nakajima Misaki a cold glance, clearly displeased.

"Isn't it enough that you've already humiliated us?"

"If the Yamaguchi-gumi fails, can the Island Nation afford another failure?"

"Nakajima, you better explain why the Sakura Shrine caught fire!"

Nakajima Misaki hesitated, then shared his suspicions with the Emperor.

"Kaitō Kid is not as simple as we imagined. He definitely has a top-tier team behind him!"

"His playing cards can block bullets, and what's even worse, his smoke bombs can cause hallucinations, trapping us all in illusions!"

"Your Majesty, I believe a thorough investigation of Kaitō Kid is necessary. His background is definitely more than just a super thief!"

In response, the Emperor of the Island Nation snorted coldly.

"Investigate? How do you propose we investigate?"

"Do you know Kaitō Kid's true identity?"

Whether it was in Britain, Eagle Nation, or now the Island Nation, no one had ever captured Kaitō Kid!

In many operations, they didn't even catch a glimpse of his face.

As for Nakajima Misaki's talk about a thorough investigation into Kaitō Kid's background, it was simply nonsense.

There was no name, no appearance, no identity, no clues. They didn't even know where to begin looking.

So Nakajima Misaki's suggestion was as good as nonsense.

"Kaitō Kid's stolen goods always end up back in Dragon Nation. His background must definitely be connected to Dragon Nation!"

"If Kaitō Kid falls for the trap tomorrow, he will appear at the Yamaguchi-gumi's trade fair. Prepare to ambush him!"

"Nakajima, if you still can't catch Kaitō Kid this time, don't bother coming back to see me. Understand?"

Nakajima Misaki nodded heavily. This would be his final chance to prove himself.

At this moment, the news was at its peak.

[Oh my god! A private collector has already put out an offer of one billion dollars to purchase the Azure Dragon Imperial Jade Seal!]

[Oh shit! Will Kaitō Kid still donate the Azure Dragon Imperial Jade Seal to Dragon Nation this time?]

[Holy crap, who's this wealthy?]

[The value of Azure Dragon's Imperial Jade Seal is definitely not something that can be measured with money, but let's be real, one billion dollars could let me live luxuriously for ten lifetimes!]

[Bro, be more confident, you couldn't even spend twenty lifetimes worth of money!]

There were not only these offers to purchase the Azure Dragon Imperial Jade Seal for a hefty price.

Just the direct messages to Kaitō Kid had received numerous offers.

Each offer was more outrageous than the last, and the prices were nothing short of astronomical.

But for Zhang Yang, the difference between one billion dollars and one million wasn't that big.

Another payment was made into the account for Dragon Nation. There was already $15 million in it, and to this point, Zhang Yang hadn't touched a single cent.

Selling the Azure Dragon Imperial Jade Seal to these private collectors wouldn't just be troublesome, it could also expose his identity.

These issues were simply not worth the trouble for Zhang Yang.

"They offer a billion dollars, and yet I don't want it—I need system points!"

For Zhang Yang, the 50,000 system points he could earn from returning the jade seal as part of his mission reward were far more useful than one billion dollars.

[Baka yarō, if Kaitō Kid hands over the Azure Dragon Imperial Jade Seal to Dragon Nation, he's in for a huge mess!]

[Damn Kaitō Kid, not only did he burn the Sakura Shrine, but now he's giving the Azure Dragon Imperial Jade Seal to Dragon Nation? He's definitely going to face retribution!]

[What? Do you believe in retribution? I'm shocked!]

[If they believed in retribution, they wouldn't have burned the Sakura Shrine. The people worshipped there, do they deserve anything but death?]

[Talking about retribution in the Island Nation is such a joke!]

No matter what the online discussions were saying, by midnight, Zhang Yang had already delivered the Azure Dragon Imperial Jade Seal to the Dragon Nation embassy.

The public anger that had been directed at Kaitō Kid slowly shifted towards Nakajima Misaki's incompetence.

[Baka, Nakajima is such a useless fool, how could he let so many people be outsmarted by Kaitō Kid?!]

[Not only did he fail to catch him, but he also burned down the Sakura Shrine!]

[He should commit seppuku in front of the Sakura Shrine to atone for his failure!]

[If Kaitō Kid manages to escape from the Island Nation this time, it will be more embarrassing than in Britain and Eagle Nation!]
