At the same time, numerous black pearls, appearing from nowhere, began to roll on the ground.
Before long, a series of "pop" sounds were heard, and smoke almost enveloped the entire banquet hall, making it difficult to see people clearly.
Someone shouted something, then pushed aside the guards at the banquet hall entrance and rushed out.
As a result, the guests in the hall followed suit, some of whom lost their bearings and wandered around aimlessly, creating chaos in all directions.
"Ouch!" Mrs. Tomoko, who had already lost control of the situation, was bumped by someone and fell to the side.
Fortunately, a pair of hands caught her in time.
"Auntie, be careful!" Xiao Lan said gently in her ear.
Having seen her daughter's friend's face clearly, Mrs. Tomoko felt a little relieved and was about to smile when she heard a strange sound coming from the air.
It sounded like the flapping of wings, mixed with a chilling, eerie cry.
"Hōnosuke, go!"
With a sharp shout, the enormous brown raptor swooped down, its sharp talons grabbing Lady Tomoko's chest before taking flight.
"No! W-what...Aaaaaaah!..."
Mrs. Tomoko, who had been attacked, quickly glanced at her chest and then let out a scream that shocked everyone present.
"The Dark Star! My Dark Star! It's been stolen!"
"What? The one Madam is wearing is the real Black Star!"
The panicked crowd was stunned by this unexpected turn of events.
As the smoke gradually dissipated, all that could be seen was that Mrs. Tomoko, who had been so dignified and confident just moments before, had become hysterical. Her clothes were disheveled, and the brooch she wore there was indeed gone.
With a strange sound coming from mid-air, everyone turned their attention to the entrance of the hall, to the young man who had reached out and caught the owl.
He took the brooch that Pengzhisuke was holding and casually put it back on his shoulder.
Yoruichi Toyama smiled as she addressed the people from all walks of life in the hall, and the Suzuki family, the owners of the Dark Star.
"Madam, you really are something. Such a rudimentary plan can't possibly stop me from getting the Dark Star."
"You...you..." Mrs. Tomoko exclaimed in horror, "You're Kaito Kid? How is that possible!"
“Why is it impossible!” Yoruichi Toyama said, reaching out and tearing a thin layer of her mask off her face.
The face beneath the mask was none other than Kaito Kuroba!
"Kuro...Kuroba?" Sonoko and Ran exchanged bewildered glances. "That Kuroba-kun, is he Kaito Kid?"
This is probably the first time that Phantom Thief Kid has revealed his true face in public.
Even Inspector Nakamori, who had been pursuing Kid for years, was momentarily distracted and even forgot to order his subordinates to make the arrest.
Kuroba? That kid?
It seems his daughter, Aoko, gets along quite well with him.
Is he Kaito Kid?
So, all along...
No wonder we could never catch him!
Inspector Nakamori suddenly realized that his previous arrest plans had probably been leaked to the real Phantom Thief Kid, more or less, through his daughter.
It's not that I can't win, it's just that there's a traitor inside!
Uh, the mole... the mole was myself?!
"No! Impossible!" It was Xiaolan who suddenly shouted.
"How could someone with that face be Kidd!"
"Watch me expose your true colors!"
The Tokyo Metropolitan Women's Karate Champion, facing a legendary thief who had outwitted the police, charged forward with a roar.
Inspector Nakamori, who also realized what was happening, was only a step behind her.
With Ran as the spearhead, the crowd swiftly pounced on Kid, who stood there alone.
With a "smack," it sounded like fists and feet clashing.
Then came a swift gust of wind.
Then, "thump," "thump," "thump"...
The police officers, caught in the wind, lay scattered on the ground like wheat after a rain.
Caught in that gust of wind was a kick right in the center of everyone's chest.
No one saw how Kidd acted, or whether he even fought with Ran, before he was kicked down.
Several people running behind were also knocked down.
"Alright, everyone, please don't move."
When Kidd's voice rang out, Inspector Nakamori and his men finally saw that the young man standing in the crowd had subdued the previously aggressive Ran with just one hand.
His hand was around Xiaolan's neck.
