"Mom, you're finally done!"
Kaito, who had been nestled on the sofa, jumped up as soon as he heard the familiar sound of people coming downstairs.
"Well? I've got a solution... Sigh, Mom, go take a shower!"
His urgent voice abruptly stopped.
Kuroba Chikage had changed into clean and refreshing clothes, but her hair was still wet, with glistening water droplets hanging from the ends, and water droplets occasionally sliding down her hair.
Kaito muttered to himself, "Women are all the same, as expected."
With the situation so dire, he still had the mind to take a shower.
Kuroba Chikage seemed not to hear her son's complaints. She walked to the sofa with a blank expression and then gave the butler, Terai Kinosuke, a look.
Terai Kinosuke instantly understood. He bowed slightly, silently left the sofa, and stood in a corner of the living room, quietly waiting for what might happen next.
"Mom, it must be that Yuzuru Nanami from last time!" Kaito, completely oblivious to the tense atmosphere, continued to shout angrily, "That guy actually got the police to issue a shooting order..."
"Smack!"
Before he could finish speaking, a heavy slap landed on his right cheek, the crisp, loud sound echoing in the room.
"mom?"
Kaito was stunned by the blow, clutching his rapidly swollen cheek, looking at Chikage Kuroba with disbelief in his eyes.
Then another slap landed on his left cheek.
"Smack!"
With two crisp sounds, Kaito's eyes instantly cleared, and his body involuntarily leaned backward, plopping down on the sofa.
"Haven't you figured out where you went wrong yet?" Kuroba Chikage's voice was so cold it sent chills down your spine. "Don't you know how foolish your actions were?"
Kaito covered his burning cheek, his eyes filled with grievance and confusion.
Although he was physically humiliated, he dared not retaliate at all.
This was the first time he had ever seen his mother so angry.
"Mom, I..."
"What do you mean, 'you'!" Kuroba Chikage interrupted her son angrily. "You act impulsively and without considering the consequences. Do you think being a phantom thief is just a simple game? We are facing a huge crisis right now, and you're still standing here clueless!"
Why didn't you act according to my plan!
She had already prepared a detailed PowerPoint presentation for Kaito beforehand to cover the operation of stealing the Egg of Memories. The presentation included everything from the timing and route of the operation to potential emergencies and countermeasures, with every aspect carefully considered.
As a result, Kaito did not follow the plan at all.
"I just felt it wouldn't fit the image of Phantom Thief Kid..."
Kaito muttered something under his breath.
At his age, he's at the point where he should be trying to look cool, so how could he possibly follow a plan step by step?
In his mind, Kaito Kid should be dashing, unrestrained, and do whatever he wants.
"Identity my ass!"
Kuroba Chikage was furious; the veins on her forehead throbbed.
She took a deep breath, turned her head and looked around the living room, finally fixing her gaze on the two axes she had left at the door when she came in.
The blades of the two axes gleamed coldly in the lamplight.
She lifted her leg to pick it up.
Compared to Kaito, who was stunned by the beating, Terai Kinosuke was the first to react.
She hurriedly ran over and grabbed the axe that Kuroba Chikage had already picked up.
"Madam, don't be impulsive! Madam!" Terai Kinosuke clung tightly to the axe, refusing to let go. "Young Master was just confused for a moment, it really didn't come to this!"
"let go!"
Kuroba Chikage tugged hard at the axe, his face grim and his voice icy.
Terai Kinosuke dared not let go, still clutching the axe tightly, sweating profusely with anxiety. "Madam, please calm down, please calm down! What if you hurt the young master?"
"I told you to let go!" Kuroba Chikage gritted his teeth, his voice almost squeezed out from between them. "I won't believe Kuroba if I don't break both of his legs today!"
She was determined to teach Kaito a lesson today, otherwise he wouldn't know why the flowers were so red.
"You never believed in Kuroba anyway..." Kaito muttered under his breath when he heard this.
"What did you say?"
Upon hearing this, Kuroba Chikage's eyes instantly blazed with fury. She released the axe in her hand and bent down to pick up another one.
Terai Kinosuke hurriedly lay down on the ground, covering the axe with his body, and said anxiously, "Madam, why don't we calm down first, sit down and discuss this properly? We're sure to find a solution!"
As he spoke, he turned to look at Kaito, who was sitting on the sofa in a daze, completely unaware of what was about to happen, and shouted, "Young master, run! Young master, run!"
Kaito suddenly realized what was happening and immediately jumped up from the sofa, ready to rush upstairs.
Seeing this, Hei Yu Qianying became even more furious, "You dare to run away and try!"
Kaito froze in place, too afraid to move.
It can only be said that he hasn't been beaten enough.
Friendly reminder: If you encounter a parent who is extremely angry, be sure to run away first. Don't just stand there and wait to be beaten to a pulp.
Run outside and hide for a while until your parents calm down and can control their strength, then come back. That way, you won't get beaten to death.
After all, sometimes taking temporary refuge is a wise choice to avoid more serious consequences.
"Run, young master, you run first!"
Terai Kinosuke was experienced; while shouting, he pleaded, "Madam, the young master is still young and doesn't understand. Please forgive him this time!"
Enraged, Kuroba Chikage had no interest in listening and continued to whip the axe.
As he got older, the axe that Terai Kinosuke was holding tightly was gradually pulled out.
At that moment, Kaito realized that his mother seemed really going to kill him.
He hurriedly ran upstairs, ignoring the threatening words from Kuroba Chikage behind him.
After running to the bedroom, the first thing I did was close the door and lock it.
"call!"
Kaito sat down against the door, patting his chest with lingering fear.
"What's wrong with you? It's just that we didn't follow the plan. Is it really necessary to get so angry?"
Kaito muttered to himself, still unaware of what he had done wrong.
Just as he came to his senses, two hurried footsteps approached the bedroom from the hallway.
Immediately following was a series of loud bangings on the door.
"Open the door!"
Kuroba Chikage's angry voice came through the door.
"Young Master, please don't open the door!" Terai Kinosuke gasped, his voice broken from running. "Madam is furious. If you open the door, it will be dangerous!"
