After removing the biggest obstacle, Lubacher, the construction of the Starlight Tower was finally launched. The acquisition of the Millennium Hotel and the Rainbow Theater went quite smoothly. As for the renovation of the old city, although there were some problems, it was easy for Li Xuelu to solve them.

After making sure that everything was going well, Fang Zheng planned to take the three girls back to Liberl. However, at this moment, something happened that he could not have expected.

"Xiaobai is missing?"

When Fang Zheng returned to the office, he saw the three girls with sad faces, and then he learned the news from them. This also surprised Fang Zheng a little.

"Is it lost?"

Xiaobai is the snow leopard that Tio brought back from the northern snowfield. It has been very close to the girls these days. The girls also like it very much and hug it to sleep almost every night. But now Xiaobai is gone?

"I'm not lost, look at this, big brother."

Ling said as she handed over a card.

"What the hell is this?"

Fang Zheng took the card and glanced at it.

"I have borrowed this cute kitten for now. If you want to find it, please show your courage, wisdom and strength. The original lighthouse is located in the eternal sleeping place. Please pray with reverence - Kaito B."

"…This idiot is playing tricks on me?"

Seeing this, Fang Zheng's face darkened slightly. He had certainly heard of the reputation of "Phantom Thief B", a thief who liked to steal artworks and often gave puzzles to test his opponents. To be honest, Fang Zheng didn't like these idiots, whether it was the Phantom Thief Kidd in the Conan world or this Phantom Thief B, or... basically, in his opinion, all Phantom Thieves were mentally retarded.

What about idiotic art and puzzles? Aren’t they just to show off your superior IQ?

But why did he steal Xiaobai? Xiaobai is a snow leopard, not a work of art. Is Kaito B stealing animals now?

Thinking of this, Fang Zheng clenched the notice in his hand, then narrowed his eyes, and then scenes flashed before his eyes.

Then Fang Zheng immediately understood what the other party meant.

I see.

"Okay, I know how to solve this problem. I will find Xiaobai back. You just stay in the room and wait."

Fang Zheng reached out and patted the three girls on the head.

"Why don't we help out too?"

"This time they are coming for me, so don't go over and get killed. This is not just a joke."

Looking at the three girls in front of him, Fang Zheng chuckled.

"Just wait patiently."

Although they were a little uneasy, the girls still nodded obediently, and then Fang Zheng turned around and left the office.

Afterwards, he went to the church cemetery, then to the port pier, and made a circle to the residential area. Finally, Fangzheng followed East Crossbell Street to the boat rental cabin in the wilderness.

This used to be a place for renting boats for sightseeing, but now the boat rental hut has been abandoned, with only a dilapidated wooden house and a few broken boats. Under the cover of night, it looked like a haunted house. Fang Zheng walked straight into the abandoned wooden house, and then he saw a little snow leopard curled up in the corner, motionless.

"Hey, little guy, wake up."

Looking at the little snow leopard hiding in the shadows, Fang Zheng blew a whistle. Hearing the whistle, the little snow leopard curled up in the corner immediately raised its head and looked towards Fang Zheng with wide eyes. After seeing Fang Zheng, the little snow leopard's eyes suddenly lit up, and it pounced over with a meow, and then jumped into Fang Zheng's arms.

“Meow meow…”

"Okay, okay, I know you're scared. Why am I here? The little girls are worried about you too. Let's go back."

While stroking the little snow leopard in his arms, Fang Zheng turned around and left the hut - but at this moment, in front of him, on the empty space, there appeared a figure.

"It's really wonderful, Mr. Founder."

Hearing the voice, Fang Zheng raised his head and looked at the figure in front of him. It was a man wearing a white cloak and suit, with long purple hair and a mask.

Hmm... Why do all the thieves in each world wear all white and capes? Is there any rule behind this?

Fang Zheng secretly complained in his heart while holding the little snow leopard, but the man didn't care at all and spoke with a smile.

"I didn't expect you to be able to solve my puzzle so quickly. I'm really surprised..."

"Oh, actually I knew from the beginning that you hid my kitten here."

However, before Kaito B could finish his words, Fang Zheng interrupted him without giving him face, which made Kaito B stunned for a moment, and then he looked at him again.

"...Really? If that's the case, then why did you follow my instructions to find the card?"

"Well, I felt sorry for the mentally retarded child, so I just played with him."

Fang Zheng stroked the little snow leopard without even raising his eyebrows.

"Besides, you were always peeping from the side. I feel it would be a bit embarrassing if I didn't give you some face, right?"

"...I never thought that you, Mr. Fang Zheng, are indeed a hidden talent..."

Hearing Fang Zheng's ridicule, Kaito B's expression twisted a little, but he still gave a dry laugh.

"Well, let me introduce myself again. I am the executor of the Snake Society, No. X, 'Gentleman Thief' Blublan. It's our first meeting, so please give me your guidance."

"I'm not interested in what reptile club you're from."

Fang Zheng still didn't give any face at all.

"You came to me to talk about something, if there's nothing else I'll leave."

"It's the snake that devours the body, Mr. Fang Zheng."

This time, the voice of the Phantom Thief Gentleman Blubrand became much more serious.

"I hope you can maintain a minimum of respect for the association."

"Why should I respect a low-class organization that even a mentally retarded thief can join?"

"you……"

"That's enough, Bluebran!"

However, just when the Gentleman Phantom Thief was about to say something else, another voice suddenly rang out. Then a thin man wearing a black suit and sunglasses at night strode over like a blind man. He stared at Fang Zheng, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile like that of a wild animal.

"We are here to invite you to be our guest at the association, Mr. Fang Zheng. I hope you will not be ungrateful."

"oh?"

"The Society appreciates your abilities."

The blind man in sunglasses stretched out his hand and stared at Fang Zheng.

"We know what that optical krypton machine is. Although on the surface it is a product of the Chase Central Workshop, the core part is actually made by your Starlight Technology. Our leader admires your achievements very much, so he hopes that you can join us."

"Join you?"

Hearing the words of the blind man in sunglasses, Fang Zheng sneered.

"I'm sorry, I've never heard of a snake that devours the body. I have no interest in a rat's nest like this. Besides, if I don't join you, what can you do to me?"

“Hehehe…”

Hearing Fang Zheng's blunt answer, the blind man in sunglasses also smiled grimly.

"Then don't blame us for being rude. The strength of the association is far beyond your imagination. Besides, even if you don't think about yourself, you should consider the little girls in your family, right? If you are worried about them, then the association can help you dispel this worry."

"oh?"

Facing the words of the blind man in sunglasses, Fang Zheng finally looked at him this time.

"You are very confident. In fact, I have a better idea."

"What is the solution?"

"That is... as long as we kill all of you reptiles, won't there be nothing to worry about!?"

Before he finished speaking, suddenly, a surging dragon power exploded, blowing the Phantom Thief Gentleman and the Blind Man with Sunglasses away. The two of them flew backwards like dead trees swept into the sky by a violent hurricane, and then fell headfirst to the ground.

At the same time, accompanied by a touch of golden light, countless treasures shining with magical aura appeared from the void behind Fang Zheng.

"Who gave you the courage to come here and threaten me?"

Fang Zheng stroked the little snow leopard in his arms with one hand while staring coldly at the two idiots on the ground.

"You idiots are qualified to negotiate with me?"

"Ouch... How is this spiritual pressure possible?!"

Faced with Fang Zheng's sudden outburst without any warning, both the Phantom Thief Gentleman and the Blind Man with Sunglasses looked terrified.

"This kind of power... Even the 'Steel Saint' and the 'Sword Emperor' don't have such a strong spiritual pressure...!!"

Wrong decision!!

At this time, the two finally realized that they had chosen the wrong opponent. The Phantom Thief Gritted his teeth, and then his figure suddenly twisted in the air and then quickly disappeared.

"Humph, just a trifle."

Facing the disappearance of the Phantom Thief, Fang Zheng glanced up into the air without a care. The next moment, he saw several magical weapons behind him suddenly flying out and rushing straight into the empty void. Soon, blood splattered and the Phantom Thief screamed. He fell directly from the sky. Before he even had time to land, dozens of sharp blades and spears that emerged from the Phantom Thief's head pierced through his body like a rainstorm, turning the Phantom Thief into a corpse in the blink of an eye.

"Bluebran!"

Seeing this scene, the blind man in sunglasses was also shocked. He didn't expect that the Gentleman Phantom Thief would be completely killed by the opponent in a single encounter, and he didn't even get away. You know, the Gentleman Phantom Thief's combat ability may not be very strong, but his illusion is of top-notch level. Even a swordsman who has entered the realm of reason would not find it easy to catch him.

However, such a person was killed as easily as a chicken by the young man in front of him?

"Don't worry, you can go with him."

As Fang Zheng finished speaking, swords and knives came again.

When the dust settled, all that was left were two bloody corpses that were deader than dead.

"Humph, where did this idiot come from? How dare he cause trouble for me?"

Fang Zheng glanced coldly at the two corpses, then he stretched out his right hand and snapped his fingers. In an instant, bright red flames appeared out of thin air and completely devoured the two corpses that were no longer in human form. When the flames disappeared again, only two charred figures remained on the ground.

"Humph, I don't know what the Body Devouring Snake is. It dares to cause trouble for me. I'm afraid it must be tired of living..."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng summoned the Whispering Banner. He was not surprised that his identity had been leaked. Although the confidentiality level of the Kingdom of Liberl was very high, there were many spies and traitors. So it was normal for someone to cause trouble for him, but he actually dared to threaten him with his own little girl...

Oh my goodness, I haven't done anything for a few days, and you guys are probably planning to follow the cult's footsteps, right?

Let me see, the body-eating snake, the body-eating snake... huh?

To Fang Zheng's surprise, when he wanted to use the Whispering Banner to investigate the leader of the Body-Eating Snake organization, he did not see any useful information at all. On the contrary, what appeared in front of Fang Zheng was a bunch of garbled codes, the same as when he searched for the Goddess of the Sky.

Hey!

Seeing this, Fang Zheng narrowed his eyes.

This is interesting...
