CHAPTER 118: CHAPTER 118: HYPNOTIC FIREWORKS!

The butler still looked expressionless, standing there without budging, no matter how furious Nakajima Misaki got. His anger was completely ignored.

Just as Nakajima Misaki was about to lose his mind, Landon came out with Sente and the others.

The livestream camera immediately zoomed in on Nakajima Misaki. Facing the global audience, Landon calmly asked, "Mr. Nakajima, tonight’s capture is no longer a live-ammunition operation."

"If you want to join the capture game, you must surrender your firearms. No one carries guns in my house!"

Nakajima Misaki tilted his head, confused by what Landon meant.

[Nakajima Misaki should just be called Nakajima the Blockhead. How can he not understand such plain words?]

[Shit! Why did Eagle Nation even approve these Island Nation agents? They’re nothing but a bunch of useless troublemakers!]

[Baka! Don’t go too far!]

[Oh my god! What’s wrong with what they’re saying? What use is Nakajima Misaki? How did your Sakura Shrine burn down again?]

[Hahaha! Right where it hurts—twisting the knife!]

[The guy’s dumb to begin with, and now you’re taking away his gun? You’re basically turning him into an extra on the sidelines!]

The livestream chat exploded with sarcasm, everyone mocking Nakajima Misaki.

It wasn’t that the audience lacked manners—Nakajima Misaki had earned his reputation.

He had failed miserably at every step in the Island Nation. Calling him useless wasn’t even an insult anymore—it was just the plain truth.

Landon repeated the rule again, spelling it out clearly.

"Mr. Nakajima, if you want to participate in capturing Kaitō Kid, you must surrender your firearms. Do you understand?"

Nakajima Misaki glanced nervously at Sente and the others, worried that he was being singled out.

But Sente just shrugged helplessly and even lifted his coat to show his empty holster—no gun.

In fact, Landon hadn’t planned to let Nakajima Misaki join at all. But just as the butler went to kick them out, Sente received new orders from above.

Eagle Nation had officially approved the Island Nation’s request to let Nakajima Misaki assist in the capture, and they were expected to cooperate with him.

Left with no choice, Landon went along with it, saving face for the FBI.

"Mr. Landon, Kaitō Kid is an extremely dangerous master thief. If we can’t carry firearms, this operation could become very risky!" Nakajima argued.

As soon as those words came out, the livestream chat exploded with furious comments from tens of millions of viewers.

[What the hell? Kaitō Kid is dangerous? What kind of bullshit is this? Has Kaitō Kid ever hurt anyone?]

[Shit! The only person who ever got hurt was Itō Itsuki—and he got shot by his own people! The real danger comes from these gun-toting idiots!]

[Looks like the Island Nation’s skin isn’t just thick—it’s completely shameless!]

[If this idiot keeps whining, just tell him to get lost already!]

[If I hadn’t watched every Kaitō Kid broadcast, I might’ve actually believed his crap!]

Nakajima Misaki put on a serious face, speaking as if he were stating undeniable facts.

Anyone unfamiliar with Kaitō Kid might have been fooled.

But Landon was a die-hard fan. He knew full well that Kaitō Kid had never harmed anyone. That was already public knowledge.

"Mr. Nakajima, the real danger in this operation is your firearms. Kaitō Kid doesn’t hurt people."

"I’ll repeat this one last time—if you want to participate, you must surrender your guns."

Landon was already running out of patience. He had never really wanted Nakajima Misaki involved in the first place.

"Otherwise, you can all turn around and leave right now."

Since Sente and his team had already surrendered their firearms, Nakajima Misaki had no choice but to give in. It was either that or leave immediately.

"Fine, we’ll hand them over!"

Even though Nakajima Misaki agreed, Landon still reluctantly allowed him inside.

[Having Nakajima Misaki join this operation? This is going to be a good show. Can’t wait to see what kind of mess he makes this time!]

[What’s he going to do without a gun? Probably just run around playing errand boy again!]

[Oh my god! There are only two hours left until nightfall! Kaitō Kid is about to show up!]

[Landon’s mansion is really impressive, but how will Kaitō Kid even get in?]

[Sure, they’re unarmed now, but sneaking into that mansion won’t be easy, even for Kaitō Kid!]

Meanwhile, Zhang Yang was sitting in his car, sipping a cola, watching everything happening inside Landon’s mansion.

No one had noticed the white dove pacing back and forth on the rooftop of the mansion. It was the scout Zhang Yang had sent in earlier.

"So they sent Nakajima Misaki again? Don’t they have anyone else?"

Zhang Yang sneered with complete disdain.

Nakajima Misaki’s skills were barely worth mentioning, and the guy had no self-awareness whatsoever. Compared to Harrison, he was a total joke.

"This time, I’ll make sure Japan finally gives up on him for good. They’ll lose all faith in Nakajima Misaki once and for all!"

Inside the mansion, there were not only Sente’s team and Nakajima Misaki’s group but also Landon’s personal security team—about thirty men in total.

While the headcount wasn’t overwhelming, having thirty pairs of eyes watching every corner made sneaking in completely undetected almost impossible.

And since Landon had built his fortune on a private security company, his expertise in defense systems was no joke. Zhang Yang knew better than to underestimate that.

[Ding!]

[Congratulations! You have successfully redeemed a temporary item: Hypnotic Fireworks!]

The moment the system notification ended, one hundred twenty thousand points vanished from Zhang Yang’s balance.

"Alright, I’m going in light tonight. Hope they enjoy the show!"

Night quickly fell, and Sente’s team along with Nakajima Misaki’s men began tightening their guard.

Everyone knew that when night came, Kaitō Kid would show up. That was the only thing they were absolutely sure of.

"Gentlemen, the game is about to begin. I wish you both the best of luck in winning it."

Tonight, Landon wasn’t playing defense—he was acting purely as the host of the live broadcast, narrating the action for fans around the world.

In the past, he could only watch online, but tonight, he was going to let fans everywhere enjoy the show just as much as he would.

News outlets across the globe had picked up the story, with many reaching out to Landon to request permission for a real-time broadcast of his full live feed.

Landon didn’t charge them a dime. He opened the feed to the public, allowing the entire world to tune in.

[Oh my god! Huge thanks to Landon for giving us such a complete live broadcast!]

[Every major outlet around the world is airing this. Looks like Landon just put Sente and Nakajima Misaki on the hot seat!]

[This is bigger than the Olympics! Every media outlet, big or small, is streaming this. Sente and Nakajima Misaki must be sweating bullets right now!]

[With the whole world watching, I can’t wait to see how Kaitō Kid pulls off stealing the true Yongle Encyclopedia!]

[I just hope Kaitō Kid takes his time so I can catch every frame of his handsome appearance!]

Viewers in the livestream were buzzing with excitement. With so many cameras set up for a full-scale broadcast, Landon was also hoping to capture as many shots of Kaitō Kid as possible to keep as souvenirs.

After all, not every fan got the chance to be chosen by Kaitō Kid himself.
