Inside the monitoring room, the air was so thick it felt like it was about to solidify.
Hei Yuqianying's pearl earrings trembled slightly in the soft blue light, emitting a delicate sound that intertwined with the crisp sound of her knees hitting the cold marble floor, creating a subtle harmony.
She looked up at the boy's profile, its light and shadow juxtaposed against the blue light of the screen, and her thoughts suddenly drifted back to a few months ago in the basement of the villa—when he sat in the same languid chair, cruelly stripping away her dignity bit by bit.
Yuzuru seemed to notice the movement behind him, but did not turn around, remaining focused on the monitor screen.
Kuroba Chikage took a deep breath, as if summoning all her courage, and finally broke the silence, "Can you let Kaito go? After all, he is..."
"What did you call me, Madam?"
Yuzuru interrupted her.
The swivel chair slowly turned around, and the boy, with a faint smile on his face, looked down at Kuroba Chikage with a scrutinizing and oppressive gaze.
"Master...Master."
Kuroba Chikage's voice trembled slightly, carrying a sense of submission and helplessness.
"That's more like it, sweetie."
Yu Shengnan smiled with satisfaction, and gently patted the head of Kuroba Chikage by the chair with his large hand, the movement as casual as if he were petting his own pet, without any respect or pity.
Then, his palm slowly moved down and gently tore.
An exquisite human skin mask fell to the ground, exposing the Phantom Thief Lady's doll-like, delicate and charming face to the air, tinged with humiliation and submission.
It's so beautiful that just one glance is enough to stir your heart.
"rest assured."
Yuzuru leaned back leisurely in his chair, the tip of his leather shoe lifting her chin, the cool touch slithering like a snake. "For Madam's sake, I will spare Kaito's life. At most, I'll just teach him a lesson. I think that's what Madam wants to see, isn't it?"
"Th...thank you."
Kuroba Chikage was forced to lower her head and breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as his son doesn't die, he can learn a lesson. With Kaito's stubborn personality, he'll never change unless he gets a harsh lesson.
She originally planned to go directly to help Kaito.
Unfortunately, her naive and foolish son discovers the intimate relationship between the female prosecutor she is now playing and Yuzuru Hanyu.
This puts her in a dilemma: she wants to help, but she's also afraid of being discovered by Kaito. After a painful and difficult decision, she has no choice but to beg this great demon in front of her.
However, making a deal with the devil means your soul will be enslaved.
"So, how does Madam intend to pay the fee?"
Yuzuru suddenly leaned forward, his warm breath carrying the sweet aroma of ice cream, brushing against Kuroba Chikage's trembling eyelashes, which were shaking with fear.
Kuroba Chikage dug her nails deep into her palms, trying to maintain a semblance of clarity and composure.
On the monitor, Kaito, who had just escaped from Kazuha, was being relentlessly pursued by Harufumi Mogi and Furuyo Senma, running frantically throughout the entire villa.
Therefore, reputation is quite important at times.
Kuroba Chikage's eyes kept darting away, not daring to meet the boy's burning and extremely oppressive gaze, and her heart was beating faster and faster.
for a long time.
"Master..." The elegant female thief slowly raised her head, and a pearl button on the collar of her evening gown suddenly popped open. "This is my reward..."
.........
.........
"Damn it, why is it chasing me like this!"
Having finally shaken off the two crazed detectives behind him, Kaito returned to the third floor, angrily complaining as he sat helplessly on the side of the corridor, panting heavily.
His clothes were now tattered and in a terrible state.
So what if someone is a thief? Aren't thieves human?
Why are they all fixated on him? They were fighting tooth and nail just moments before, but the moment they saw him, they immediately put aside their hatred and joined forces to deal with him.
That really shows they didn't treat him like a human being.
Moreover, these detectives are much more difficult to deal with than the police.
If Kaito hadn't urgently upgraded his equipment before coming here, he felt he would probably be dead by now.
"No, we can't just sit here and wait to die."
Despite the excruciating pain in his chest, Kaito began to think of a solution.
He was now completely isolated and helpless. The detectives in this villa didn't treat him like a human being at all. If he didn't act quickly, he would be caught sooner or later.
"Let me think. Given the current situation, it's definitely impossible for me to kill all of these detectives, not to mention those two violent girls..."
Kaito's mind involuntarily conjured up images of Kazuha and Ran throwing punches, and a dull ache suddenly shot through his chest.
"No, no, this won't do! To catch the thief, we must first catch the king!"
Shaking his head, Kaito turned his attention to someone who was even more pretentious than himself. To leave the villa smoothly, he would definitely have to deal with Hanyu Nan, the culprit, first.
As for whether or not they can win...
Douzi touched the secret weapon he hadn't used yet at his waist, a confident smile spreading across his face.
This was a prop that he had specially commissioned the doctor to make in order to deal with Yuzuru Nan. Recalling the previous experiments, he was full of confidence that he would definitely win this time.
This prop is at least twenty years ahead of current world technology!
"Tap tap tap..."
Before Kaito could recover from his wonderful fantasy of successfully defeating someone, a clear sound of footsteps came from the side.
Instinctively, Kaito tensed up instantly and quickly looked up.
A cool-faced loli dressed in an exquisite black uniform skirt slowly walked past him.
Then, a coin was casually tossed down.
"I......
Kaito Kuroba stared wide-eyed at the 500 yen coin still spinning at his feet, then looked up at the cold-faced loli who had already walked away, feeling utterly exasperated.
Was he mistaken for a beggar?
He, the legendary Phantom Thief Kid, a figure who captivated countless young women and won the hearts of many, was actually mistaken for a beggar?
Kaito glanced at his tattered, almost mangled clothes and gave a helpless, bitter smile. To be honest, his current disheveled appearance really did resemble that of a beggar on the street.
Picking up the coin from the ground, the revitalized Phantom Thief Kid gritted his teeth, stood up, and resolutely strode off in the opposite direction.
