Livestream: Awakening as Kaitō Kid, Shocking the World-Chapter 54: It’s Fine, It’s About to Be Stolen!
Chapter 54 - 54: It’s Fine, It’s About to Be Stolen!
Inside the vault, custom-made glass display cases rested on velvet-lined shelves.
At this moment, the sword of Emperor Qin Shi Huang lay quietly inside a rectangular glass case!
"Director Harrison, what's going on?"
Albert was stunned.
"The sword of Emperor Qin hasn't been stolen, it's right here!"
Even now, Albert hadn't realized he'd been tricked.
Zhang Yang stepped behind him and suddenly chuckled. "It's fine, Mr. Albert. It's about to be stolen."
"Wh-what do you mean?"
Albert turned his head in shock, just in time to inhale a faceful of sleep powder that Zhang Yang had just blown his way.
"You... you're... not... Harrison..."
The next second, Albert collapsed to the ground, falling into a deep sleep.
The real sword of Emperor Qin was even more exquisite and imposing than the replica Zhang Yang had crafted. It came with a complete scabbard, perfectly preserved.
This was thanks to Ed Gold Vault's advanced climate control systems. To ensure the safety of stored items, the vault maintained a constant temperature and humidity, preventing oxidation or decay.
Albert had said there were no further security measures inside the vault.
So Zhang Yang simply opened the glass case and took out the real sword of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, once the greatest sword of Huaxia!
"Does it really make a dragon's cry?"
Zhang Yang quickly drew the sword from its scabbard. The sound was clear and crisp—not exactly a dragon's cry—but for something this ancient, having such a sharp ring was already rare!
Zhang Yang placed his replica of the sword back on the velvet and stowed the real Huaxia's First Sword into his Magical Wardrobe, turning to leave the vault.
He quickly left Ed Gold Vault and sped away in his car.
"Harrison left again?"
"Oh shit! Can someone tell me what's going on?"
"Where's Kaitō Kid? Why isn't Harrison arresting him?"
"Weren't they just racing through the streets trying to catch Kaitō Kid? Why did Harrison go back to the vault?"
The crowd outside grew larger, and the Enforcement Bureau had to call for more backup.
Meanwhile, inside the pitch-dark hospital, Kameda Motoji was at his breaking point!
"Baka! Baka yarō! Damn Kaitō Kid!"
"Dummies, dummies, they're all dummies!"
They'd been searching the hospital for so long, only to find decoys—every single one planted by Zhang Yang.
Itō Itsuki also stopped, realizing that continuing to search was pointless.
"Kaitō Kid is toying with us."
Itō's eyes were cold. In such a pitch-black environment, they had to stay alert, every nerve on edge—it was mentally exhausting.
"Director Harrison, do you think it's still worth searching?"
Harrison had realized something was off five minutes ago, but since Kameda and Itō hadn't given up, he kept going too.
The British royal family had ordered him to catch Kaitō Kid before the Japanese Embassy could.
Corruption is the same everywhere.
The Japanese side thought the same.
"He planted those decoys just to keep us trapped here!"
Harrison stopped, speaking in a low voice. "We've been played."
At the same time, a sinking feeling crept into Harrison's chest.
"If Kaitō Kid brought us here on purpose—and kept us trapped inside this hospital—"
"Then he must have another plan. Something's probably already happened at Ed Gold Vault!"
Itō Itsuki's eyes widened, turning to Harrison in shock.
This was Kaitō Kid's real plan!
A moment ago, they had all been desperate to beat each other to capture him. But now that they'd stopped, they were finally thinking clearly.
"Baka yarō, that cunning Kaitō Kid!"
Kameda Motoji flew into an even greater rage upon realizing this was all a trap.
Itō Itsuki took a deep breath. Even with his mask on, it was obvious his face was dark with frustration.
"Fall back, head to Ed Gold Vault!"
Harrison gave a firm order to the agents behind him.
The whole group swiftly withdrew from the hospital and drove straight back to Ed Gold Vault.
Kameda jumped into his car, which had flipped multiple times, and quickly turned around to follow.
By the time they arrived at Ed Gold Vault, the scene outside was completely out of control.
Even with the Enforcement Bureau sending more people, they couldn't maintain order.
"Oh! It's Harrison and the others!"
"Director Harrison, where's Kaitō Kid?"
"Wow, the Japanese ninja looks so cool too!"
"Did you let Kaitō Kid escape again?"
With a dark face, Harrison led his team through the crowd and up to the entrance of Ed Gold Vault.
As Harrison reached for his ID badge on his chest, he suddenly realized—it was gone!
"Shit!"
Harrison cursed furiously.
"It must have been Kaitō Kid—he took my badge in the smoke!"
In that instant, everything clicked in Harrison's mind.
The fireworks on the rooftop, luring them to the hospital, stealing his badge, then returning to Ed Gold Vault!
"Fuck!"
Harrison roared in frustration.
"Find Albert! Now!"
Itō Itsuki and the MI5 agents rushed into Ed Gold Vault, but Harrison couldn't even get through the door.
He stood there at the entrance, humiliated. The eyes of the onlookers felt like knives stabbing into him.
"Oh my god! Harrison can't even get into Ed Gold Vault?"
"What the hell? What's going on?"
"Haha, Director Harrison must have been played by Kaitō Kid again!"
"Oh! Harrison doesn't look too happy!"
Just then, a white dove flew over and landed on Harrison's shoulder.
In its beak was his ID badge.
Harrison snatched the badge back through gritted teeth, glaring furiously at the crowd, then quickly entered Ed Gold Vault.
Inside Albert's office, Itō Itsuki checked the surveillance feed and saw that the vault had been accessed on the fourth floor, Section D.
But when they got there, the mercenaries guarding the vault blocked their way.
"Sorry, your badges don't give you access to this vault."
Itō Itsuki snapped coldly.
"Albert is inside—he could be in danger!"
The door to Section D was open, not even closed.
Ed Gold Vault's rules were strict. No matter how much Itō and the agents argued, the mercenaries refused to let them through.
"Baka yarō!"
Itō lost his patience and shouted, "Albert is inside—move now!"
The mercenaries' faces hardened, their sharp stares filled with menace.
Just then, Harrison rushed over, looking grim. "Get your superior. Kaitō Kid is most likely inside the vault already!"
The mercenaries stationed by the corridor had seen "Harrison" and Albert go inside earlier.
They exchanged confused looks.
"Director Harrison, weren't you just in the vault with Mr. Albert?"
As soon as they said that, Itō Itsuki and the agents turned to Harrison in shock.
They had been chasing Kaitō Kid at the hospital together the whole time—they hadn't been apart for a second!
