The Enforcent Bureau began discussions to replace Victor with soone else to take over the mission to capture Kaitō Kid.
What they didn’t know was that Kaitō Kid had already boarded a plane and left France.
Victor was officially out, and Kaitō Kid’s reputation was completely restored.
As for Victor’s downfall, Harrison only felt a montary sense of pity.
"Victor, I warned you. Kaitō Kid isn’t so run-of-the-mill thief. You never should’ve crossed the line."
After a sigh, Harrison turned his focus to dealing with the museum artifact situation.
To support Victor, Harrison had worked hard persuading the British Museum to allow the exhibition to continue in France.
But Victor had crossed the line again and again, and this was the price he paid.
Once Zhang Yang landed in Country D, he posted a new update announcing his arrival.
This country, famous worldwide for its advanced manufacturing, was a tech powerhouse. From the mont he stepped off the plane, Zhang Yang could feel the industrial atmosphere everywhere.
"Too bad they got knocked back to square one after the war. Otherwise, they’d be even more developed."
Their economy had taken a huge hit back then, dropping their global status. It was the result of their own poor decisions.
When Zhang Yang posted the update, it was still early morning—just before dawn, the darkest ti of night.
Even so, the comnts section exploded instantly.
[Kaitō Kid just popped up in Country D! France must be crying right now!]
[Hahaha, they’re probably just glad to be rid of him. That disaster’s finally gone!]
[They gave up Victor and got peace in return—France ca out ahead on this deal!]
[Victor’s paralyzed for life. The rest of his days are gonna suck!]
[Now Country D is already shaking. Kaitō Kid never leaves empty-handed!]
Zhang Yang hadn’t dropped any hints on his way there.
So when he arrived, the airport was calm and routine, nothing out of the ordinary.
It wasn’t until Country D’s authorities noticed his post that they realized what was going on. They imdiately alerted their higher-ups and held an ergency eting overnight.
anwhile, France finally breathed a collective sigh of relief. Just like netizens joked—yes, they’d lost Victor, a Director of the Enforcent Bureau, but at least they wouldn’t have to deal with Kaitō Kid again for a while.
Harrison was escorting the artifacts back to Britain. After seeing Zhang Yang’s post, he relaxed a bit.
"Kaitō Kid’s gone to Country D. He won’t make a move on the artifacts now."
"Let’s see how Country D responds."
Harrison was focused on returning the items safely. If Country D ended up assigning soone like Victor to handle Kaitō Kid, Harrison had no plans to get involved.
Soone else who was paying close attention to Zhang Yang’s movents was Holska.
He had no such reservations. Without hesitation, he prepared to head to Country D himself.
He was the only one left in the competition. His only rivals were governnt agents. If he pulled this off, the six hundred million prize would be his.
"Kaitō Kid’s definitely got a target in Country D. If I get there before he acts, I might catch him off guard and take him down!"
Holska was fired up. Ever since that brief encounter on the plane to France, he hadn’t crossed paths with Zhang Yang again.
He even thought he’d never been noticed, that Zhang Yang didn’t know about him at all.
In reality, every ti he showed up, Zhang Yang had noticed him imdiately.
Zhang Yang had just checked into his hotel. Around 10 a.m., a squad of enforcers arrived to verify the guests’ identities.
Country D’s ergency eting had made their stance clear. They weren’t just on the defensive—they wanted to take the initiative.
But even with swift action and an extensive search for Zhang Yang’s whereabouts, they still ca up empty.
Zhang Yang had been on the move nonstop. Once he got back to the hotel, he crashed hard and slept soundly.
He wasn’t worried at all about being discovered. His fake identity was flawless.
It wasn’t until he woke up and saw the official statent from Country D and the flood of news coverage that he realized they had already started taking action.
"Country D’s actually making the first move? Gotta give them credit for guts."
Netizens flooded the comnt section with excitent.
[The last country that welcod Kaitō Kid like this ended up getting played hard!]
[What if he’s just here for sightseeing? Isn’t Country D overreacting a bit?]
[Hahaha, thieves never leave empty-handed. And this is Kaitō Kid we’re talking about—a real super thief. Of course Country D is nervous!]
[Unless Bruce or Harrison co chasing after him, Kaitō Kid’s going full rogue now!]
[Or maybe they could invite half-paralyzed Victor to give it another shot!]
Last ti when Zhang Yang got off the plane in France, the place was crawling with Enforcent agents. The country had been thrown into chaos in less than half a day. And now Country D dared to go on the offensive? Regardless of their actual ability, at least they were putting on a strong front.
After enjoying a hearty hotel breakfast, Zhang Yang posted a new teaser notice.
Since Country D had already thrown down the gauntlet, it was only fair that he returned the favor.
"I can already feel the warm welco from Country D. Tonight, I’ll be at the Cultural and Arts Museum. See you there!"
Beneath the ssage, as always, was a crisp white notice.
This ti, the target was a bronze artifact housed in the Museum of Literature and Culture—an ancient relic from the Shang Dynasty, originally from the state of Bogu. The mask design represented a divine guardian of the Bogu state, symbolizing divine authority and unity between humans and the heavens.
Once the teaser was out, the comnt section went wild.
[Damn, the confidence! I love it!]
[Ti for Country D to put on a show. Let’s hope they don’t let Kaitō Kid down!]
[Oh my god! They’re already trying to track him down, and now he drops a teaser?]
[That was fast—he’s moving again. Country D better start panicking for real now!]
Right after posting, Zhang Yang stepped out.
He believed in knowing the enemy and the terrain. That was the key to victory.
His plan was to scout the area, check the museum’s defenses, and see what kind of response Country D had prepared.
Even though they had held an ergency eting and moved quickly, they hadn’t made any public statents yet. No details had been revealed so far.
Before Zhang Yang even arrived at the museum, the teaser notice had already landed in the hands of the museum’s director.
Agents from Country D’s BND were already on-site. One of them, Leo, took the teaser from the director. His thick dark-brown beard nearly covered his entire mouth.
Leo stared at the notice with a serious expression and sharp eyes.
"From now on, BND is taking over this museum. All unrelated personnel must leave imdiately!"
In Country D, BND held a status equivalent to the FBI in the Eagle Nation or MI5 in Britain.
They were the highest-level intelligence agency, with full authority to take over any public location at any ti.
The museum director nodded rapidly. These days, few people around the world hadn’t heard of Kaitō Kid.
This kind of ss? He couldn’t wait to stay far away from it.
The museum was shut down imdiately. All visitors were cleared out, and every staff mber was ordered to evacuate.
The huge three-story building was now under full lockdown, with only a few dozen BND agents patrolling every floor.
