Outside the Dragon Nation Embassy, half the agents were Japanese, the other half from the British Enforcent Bureau.
Zhang Yang exchanged points in the system shop for a white dove. Then he carefully rolled up Gu Kaizhi's Admonitions of the Instructress Scroll.
The entire scroll was painted on silk, so even when rolled up, it was only as thick as two fingers.
The dove took the scroll in its claws, flew out the car window, and vanished into the night.
At that mont, the person in charge at the Dragon Nation Embassy was in his office, making urgent calls, trying to find a way to get the Dragon Head safely back ho.
"Knock knock..."
As he listened to the phone, a sudden tapping at the window startled him.
He looked up casually—and froze.
"Wait a minute!"
He dropped the phone and rushed to the window.
When he opened it, the dove hadn't flown off yet. Only after he took the scroll from its claws did the bird rise into the night sky.
"This... this is...!!!"
His hands trembled as he held the scroll. He could already guess what it was.
He rushed to his desk, carefully unrolled Gu Kaizhi's Admonitions of the Instructress Scroll, and picked up the phone again, his voice shaking with excitent.
"Sir! Gu Kaizhi's Admonitions of the Instructress Scroll—the lost original from the Fubons Auction—Kaitō Kid has sent it to the embassy!"
This was the only known original in existence, its value equal to the Serpent Head or the Dragon Head of the Twelve Bronze Zodiac.
"I will arrange for imdiate action. You must protect the Dragon Head and the scroll at all costs!"
"And if Kaitō Kid ever runs into trouble, you are to assist him in every way possible!"
The embassy official nodded solemnly.
"Yes, sir!"
Zhang Yang, watching from afar, saw the dove fly back out of the embassy.
That ant the scroll had been delivered.
[Ding!]
[Congratulations on completing the return mission: Gu Kaizhi's Admonitions of the Instructress Scroll!]
[Reward: One random skill 1 level!]
[Ding!]
[Enhanced Senses 1. Skill level upgraded to 2!]
In an instant, Zhang Yang felt his perception sharpen to a whole new level.
Even his sixth sense felt significantly heightened.
"Not bad."
He turned the car around and left.
anwhile, back at the Enforcent Bureau's temporary office, Harrison sat in silence, staring at the screen in front of him, lost in thought.
He had replayed every mont of the live footage, not missing a single detail, yet he still couldn't spot how Zhang Yang had disguised himself.
"No signs of a latex mask... What kind of disguise technique was it?"
Harrison was stumped.
Facial recognition ca up empty—no record of the man anywhere.
He wasn't surprised. He knew Kaitō Kid wouldn't show up with his real face.
"Such a tough opponent..."
Harrison shut the laptop with a sigh, his brow tightly furrowed.
There were no leads, no weaknesses to exploit.
Kaitō Kid could glide away from a hundred ters in the air—how the hell was he supposed to catch him?
While Harrison fud in frustration, things weren't going well at the Japanese Embassy either.
"Itō-kun, Kaitō Kid is extrely cunning. Your little stunt has caused the embassy serious trouble!"
Kawasaki's face was dark.
Fubons Headquarters had already filed complaints against both MI5 and the Japanese Embassy, demanding full compensation for the auction damages.
That scroll—Gu Kaizhi's Admonitions—was the original. Starting bid: 30 million USD.
According to Fubons Auction policy, any incident required compensation of at least three tis the starting price.
Which ant they had to pay a minimum of 90 million USD!
Itō Itsuki snorted coldly, eyes sharp.
"Even if I hadn't stepped in, you wouldn't have caught Kaitō Kid."
"His speed and strength are beyond yours."
"If you want to capture him alive, none of you combined are a match for him."
Kada's pupils contracted sharply.
He had thought Itō Itsuki failed to catch Kaitō Kid because of carelessness.
"Itō-kun, you an... his strength is that formidable?"
Until now, they had never co face-to-face with Zhang Yang, let alone fought him directly.
This was the first ti they had seen him in action.
Itō Itsuki took a deep breath, let out a cold snort, and said with a grave tone, "I believe his strength is at least equal to mine."
"Kawasaki-kun, Kada-kun, next ti Kaitō Kid appears, I want to act imdiately, without being held back."
Back at Fubons Auction, Itō Itsuki felt he hadn't shown his full potential.
And Zhang Yang's use of the Silver-Winged Cape to escape had completely caught him off guard.
This was Kawasaki and Kada's failure. They didn't get the intelligence right.
After Zhang Yang posted his latest update, most people had never heard of Gu Kaizhi's Admonitions of the Instructress Scroll, so they had no idea how valuable or significant the original was.
But—
After doing so research, the comnt section under the post completely exploded!
[Oh my god! Kaitō Kid, the legendary thief, actually stole the original silk painting from over two thousand years ago—the Admonitions of the Instructress Scroll!]
[Shit! The Dragon Head hasn't even been recovered, and now we've lost sothing this important!]
[Wow, is it yours or what?]
[The emperor isn't even worried, but the eunuchs are panicking. It wasn't yours in the first place!]
[Why are all the big shots from different countries so quiet now? Sothing feels off...]
Right now, both the British and Japanese embassies had failed so many tis, they'd completely lost face. They had no ground left to make bold claims.
As for the Dragon Nation, they were now discussing how to get both the Dragon Head and Gu Kaizhi's Admonitions safely back ho.
The next day, Zhang Yang heard the system issue a new task.
[Ding!]
[New mission: Infiltrate the British Ed Gold Vault and steal the sword of Emperor Qin Shi Huang!]
[Reward: 100 skill points or 30,000 system points, choose one!]
Zhang Yang wasn't a top-tier university student, but he could still do basic math.
One hundred skill points were worth 40,000 points.
"Now they're playing tricks with the rewards?"
This was clearly ant to make him choose skill points.
"The sword of Qin Shi Huang, known as Huaxia's greatest blade, and it's just sitting in a British vault?"
Legend had it that the sword was forged with the blood of over a thousand people, and tempered with the essence of dragon scales, said to emit a dragon's roar when drawn.
The British Ed Gold Vault was one of the top three vaults in the world, said to hold priceless treasures.
Of course, storing anything in Ed Gold Vault ca with an astronomical fee.
But because of its absolute security, many billionaires still chose to use it.
"Huaxia's greatest sword, locked away in one of Britain's top three vaults..."
Zhang Yang muttered, having long heard stories about Qin Shi Huang's sword. There were countless records in historical texts, but it had always seed more like legend than reality.
"Looks like I'll be seeing it for myself soon."
Excitent surged in Zhang Yang's chest. He couldn't wait.
But before taking action, he had to investigate the Ed Gold Vault.
Yet online, there was barely any information. Only basic details like when it was founded.
No data at all on their security systems or personnel.
Even after using points to unlock the Super Hacker skill, Zhang Yang still couldn't find detailed info on Ed Gold Vault.
