When it cos to embarrassnt, the Island Nation still cares a lot.
As for what they’ve done and what they’ve lost, they refuse to ntion any of it.
The next day’s news was still reporting on the fire at the Sakura Shrine in the Island Nation, and how Kaitō Kid stole the Azure Dragon Imperial Jade Seal from the shrine.
Headlines around the world were the sa.
[Oh shit! The news has reported so much, and the Island Nation hasn’t responded at all!]
[Oh my god! What could they possibly respond with? These are all factual reports!]
[Now is the perfect ti to be a turtle with its head tucked in, not even a single sound coming from them!]
[Now, even if the Island Nation lets out a fart, they’ll be scolded for it!]
[Hahaha, the Island Nation is still using their brains a bit!]
However, while the news reports were buzzing with activity, the Yamaguchi-gumi in the Island Nation made its grand entrance, riding the wave of the fire to gain attention.
At the headquarters of the Yamaguchi-gumi business association, Shōda Kazuo released the news that he had the true manuscript of Lantingxu in his possession.
And it was in the Yamaguchi-gumi’s collection, daring Kaitō Kid to co and take it if he could!
[What the hell is this? Yamaguchi-gumi? Who is this Shōda Kazuo?]
[He’s the leader of the largest criminal organization in the Island Nation, the Yamaguchi-gumi! How does he have the true manuscript of Lantingxu?]
[I never imagined a mob boss would have a hobby for collecting things!]
[What?! The true manuscript of Lantingxu is in his hands? This is insane!]
Once the news spread, it imdiately caused an uproar, trending on the internet.
It quickly overtook the global news about Kaitō Kid and beca the center of attention.
However, most people were skeptical about Shōda Kazuo’s announcent.
No one would believe that a mob boss from the Island Nation would have a passion for collecting things.
And the true manuscript of Lantingxu was more valuable than the Azure Dragon Imperial Jade Seal. Rumors had it that the true manuscript had been lost long ago.
If Shōda Kazuo truly had the true manuscript of Lantingxu, its value could nearly buy the entire Yamaguchi-gumi.
[Fuck! Is Shōda Kazuo just bragging? Does he really have the true manuscript of Lantingxu? Could it be a fake?]
[Right now, all the Lantingxu manuscripts in museums are rubbings, the true manuscript has long been lost. How could a mob boss have sothing like that?!]
[Shit! This must be a trap set by the Island Nation to lure Kaitō Kid out!]
[This is definitely a trap, does the Island Nation think Kaitō Kid is an idiot?]
[It’s already a loss for them, why does the Island Nation have to keep embarrassing itself? It’s just laughable!]
Facing the doubts online, Shōda Kazuo directly recorded a high-definition video of the details of the true manuscript of Lantingxu and posted it online.
He wasn’t really interested in collecting, and even if he were, he wouldn’t be able to bring himself to buy such an expensive item for personal collection.
This was a gift from the Emperor of the Island Nation, and it was definitely the real thing, no doubt about it.
"These idiots online, if Kaitō Kid can’t even tell if it’s real or fake, how could he beco the world’s greatest thief?"
"This was given by the Emperor, it’s absolutely genuine!"
After Shōda Kazuo posted the video of the true manuscript of Lantingxu, professionals quickly began to authenticate it based on the details in the video.
Soon, news reports ca in confirming that the manuscript was genuine.
Shōda Kazuo’s true manuscript of Lantingxu is absolutely real!
[Oh my god! It’s really the true manuscript of Lantingxu! Is Shōda Kazuo out of his mind?]
[The elite forces of the Island Nation couldn’t catch Kaitō Kid, does he really think he can do it?]
[Kaitō Kid: Thank you, Nature, for the gift!]
[Where does Shōda Kazuo get the courage to challenge Kaitō Kid’s abilities?]
[There’s definitely sothing fishy here, too many weird things going on. This must be a trap set by the Island Nation to lure out Kaitō Kid!]
Under all the suspicions, the Emperor of the Island Nation’s conspiracy was quickly uncovered.
But while the conspiracy was exposed, the Lantingxu manuscript was still undeniably genuine!
This was the first ti since Kaitō Kid’s rise that soone had dared to directly challenge him.
[Shōda Kazuo challenging Kaitō Kid? Isn’t that pure suicide?]
[Even if it’s a trap, Shōda Kazuo still has the Island Nation backing him. But that’s still futile!]
[The Sakura Shrine was burned down, and the Island Nation still can’t accept it. I’m truly speechless!]
[The Yamaguchi-gumi is quite powerful in the Island Nation, they’re not weak. If they’ve dared to issue a challenge, they must be well-prepared. Don’t underestimate them!]
[Oh my god! I can’t wait to see Kaitō Kid’s response. I wonder if he’ll accept Shōda Kazuo’s challenge!]
While the online discussions heated up, Zhang Yang had just woken up.
Kaitō Kid’s account was flooded with notifications. There were countless push notifications filling his screen.
So, when Zhang Yang woke up, the first thing he saw was Shōda Kazuo’s challenge.
"What’s this guy doing?" Zhang Yang muttered after skimming through so related news and posts, as well as the detailed analysis in the comnts.
"Heh, the Island Nation is afraid I’ll escape and not have the chance to redeem myself!"
"They’re using the true manuscript of Lantingxu to bait . They really are willing to go that far!"
Zhang Yang’s lips curled into a faint smirk as he coldly scoffed.
Although Zhang Yang had only carried out two operations in the Island Nation, the losses for the Island Nation were far greater than those of Britain or Eagle Nation!
The burning of their Sakura Shrine alone had brought more negative publicity than Kaitō Kid had ever caused in Britain or Eagle Nation.
[Ding!]
[New challenge mission received: Steal the true manuscript of Lantingxu from the Yamaguchi-gumi business headquarters!]
[Mission reward: The reward for this mission ranges from 10,000 to 100,000 system points!]
[Reward description: The greater the commotion caused by the Yamaguchi-gumi’s provocation, the higher the reward tier!]
Zhang Yang felt a spark of interest.
This ti, the system’s rewards were tiered!
"Shōda Kazuo, oh Shōda Kazuo. You could have challenged anyone, but you chose ? Not only that, you’ve made the Kaitō Kid system angry!"
Such a reward chanism had never appeared before.
The highest reward of 100,000 points was an opportunity Zhang Yang couldn’t pass up. He would do everything he could to reach the highest reward tier.
At the sa ti, at the Yamaguchi-gumi business headquarters, Shōda Kazuo was keeping a close eye on the installation of various anti-theft systems!
The true manuscript of Lantingxu had already been placed in a safe, and it was inside a triple-secure vault.
In the large room, four corners had infrared surveillance caras, and there was a full laser-based security system.
Even the door had been replaced with a vault-level security door, requiring both a chanical lock and access card for double authentication!
In this room, even a fly trying to get in would be detected imdiately.
"Yosh!" Shōda Kazuo said, thoroughly satisfied with the security asures.
"This room’s level of security is comparable to a bank vault. I want to see how capable Kaitō Kid really is!"
anwhile, on patrol inside the business headquarters, Nakajima Misaki had already infiltrated the area.
There were also more than twenty agents, disguised as Yamaguchi-gumi mbers, waiting for Kaitō Kid to show up.
