Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 249: Are you there? I'm back now. Let's meet up tonight!

"Ok?"

Kitahara Natsuhiro, who was eating, suddenly shivered and felt a strong sense of malice.

Previously, he could only sense malice around him, but after evolving into Gastly, he can sense malice from a greater distance.

This is the power of evolution.

If he evolves into Gengar when he gets home, he will be even stronger, especially if he evolves into another Mega.

He really is a god.

This scene was witnessed by Yukiko, who was standing next to her. She asked in a low voice, "What's wrong with you? Do you have a cold?"

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu shook his head and said, "How could someone as strong as me catch a cold? I think someone is talking about me!"

He didn't tell Yukiko about the malice he sensed, because there was no need.

It's always the same few people talking about him.

Among the members of the Black Organization, only a few people like Teiji Moriya and Yusaku Kudo hate him.

Apart from that, there shouldn't be anyone who hates him.

etc.
I seem to have forgotten someone: Rum from the Black Organization, Kanenori Wakita.

Isn't this guy working in his own shop? Why don't I see him?

Moreover, he didn't remember this person when he first came in. If he hadn't thought of the Black Organization, he really wouldn't have remembered that there was a member of the Black Organization in his shop.

They really have no presence at all.

Of course, it could also be because this guy is a man, and he usually doesn't care much about men.

Except for Amuro Tooru, because he needs Amuro Tooru to make money.

"Thinking about you?" Yukiko asked suspiciously. "It couldn't be a girl, could it?"

"No, it shouldn't be a big problem, don't worry about it."

"Is that so?" Yukiko squinted.

"Really, there isn't any."

While Kitahara Natsuhiro and Yukiko were chatting away as if no one else was around, Conan, that little devil, kept staring at them and stuffing something into his mouth.

"These two guys are way too arrogant!"

"We chatted like this, oblivious to everyone else, not afraid of what they might say."

"However, they didn't seem to notice my mom and Kitahara Natsuyu at all. They were listening to Sonoko and Ran talk about the villa in the deep mountains and the story of Phantom Thief Kid."

"Perhaps these things are much more interesting than what happened between Dad and Kitahara Natsuhiro!"

At that moment, Kitahara Natsuhiro suddenly looked at Amuro Tooru and asked in a low voice, "Didn't Mr. Wakita Kanenori come to work today?"

“Mr. Wakita has caught a bad cold these past two days and is resting at home, so he hasn’t come to work,” Amuro Tooru replied.

"I see." Kitahara Natsuyu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

But he started to have doubts in his heart.

A bad cold?
I think Kenjiro Wakita must have found out something and rushed off to deal with the Black Organization.

Perhaps they've discovered Amuro Tooru's secret.

But it's not a big problem.

If Amuro Tooru's secret had been discovered, he wouldn't be drinking and eating with me here now.

It's probably an internal organizational problem.

It seems that when he got Ai out of the organization, it had already caused the organization a lot of trouble. This is good news.

"How's Mr. Kenjiro Wakita doing lately?" Kitahara Natsuhiro continued to ask.

Upon hearing this, Amuro said, "He's doing well. Although one of his eyes is injured, he's very efficient and there are no problems."

"He is a very qualified helper."

Kitahara Natsuhiro nodded. It seemed that Amuro Tooru hadn't yet discovered Wakita Kanenori's problem.

This will put us at a disadvantage in terms of intelligence.

However, Kitahara Natsuhiro did not intend to tell Amuro Tooru about Wakita Kanenori, because that would make things more interesting.

You have to see through it yourself. If you can't see through it, then this guy is too weak, and it has nothing to do with him.

Let's leave it at that for now.

"That's good. It seems I don't need to worry about the restaurant for now. I'll have to trouble you with things from now on, Amuro." Kitahara Natsuhiro raised his glass.

"You're too kind." Amuro Tooru also raised his glass, and then joined the others at the table in a toast.

However, they only drank fruit juice; no one drank alcohol.

Kitahara Natsuhiro has to drive, the others have to work, and Ran, Sonoko, and Conan are still minors.

As for Amuro Tooru himself, he rarely drinks alcohol because it numbs his nerves and makes him dull.

Of course, Amuro Tooru also drank alcohol, but only when his friend passed away.

It was truly heartbreaking at the time.

Fortunately, time heals all wounds, and he has now recovered.

Getting back to the point, it's time for a toast.

"cheers!"

Everyone raised their glasses in celebration.

At the same time, on the other side.

The Black Feather family.

At this time, Kaito Kuroba had already returned home and was lying on the sofa watching TV.

Then, he received a call from an important person, who was none other than his mother, Kuroba Chikage.

The moment his mother called, he was already prepared to be scolded. After all, the fact that others knew his identity as Phantom Thief Kid had plunged his family into a major crisis.

They might even dig up old grievances from over a decade ago.

After all, the previous Phantom Thief Kid was his father. Although he passed away, the debts he left behind still remain.

Kuroba Toichi not only offended that mysterious organization, but also other wealthy bosses.

Therefore, once Kaito Kuroba's identity as Phantom Thief Kid is exposed, he will be met with a barrage of attacks, and his final fate will be a gruesome death.

And the fact that the mysterious organization that originally planned to kill Kuroba Toichi was not wiped out is truly remarkable.

If it were Kitahara Natsuyu, he would definitely have made sure his whole family was together.

Closer to home.

Kaito Kuroba took a deep breath and answered his mother's call.

"Mom"

The next second, Kuroba Chikage's slightly tired voice came through the phone: "You know why I called!"

She rubbed her forehead and stood in the middle of the airport, looking around.

At this moment, she was waiting for the Kuroba family's butler, Terai Kinosuke, to come and take her back. After all, she couldn't let outsiders know what she was going to discuss with Kuroba Kaito; if they found out, it would be troublesome and require further handling.

Therefore, we need to wait for Terai Kinosuke to arrive.

"I know." Kaito Kuroba sensed the weariness in his mother's voice and felt very guilty.

However, he felt that his disguise had not revealed any flaws, but for some reason, Kitahara Natsuyu found out about it.

It's truly baffling.

Furthermore, he was absolutely certain that this was the first time he and Kitahara Natsumi had met; they had never met before.

So, it must be trouble left by Dad.

After all, Kuroba Toichi has always been using the identity of Phantom Thief Kid, so if he gets into any trouble, it must be Kuroba Toichi who caused it.

He was too young to cause trouble at that time, and his mother had long since given up her career.

Yes, it must be Dad!

Kuroba Toichi: Good, good, good, Kaito, you really are my good son! I am so happy as your father.

"Sigh," Kuroba Chikage sighed, a loving smile appearing in her eyes: "Actually, this matter is not your fault. It is very likely that your father caused trouble before he passed away, which is why people came knocking on our door."

"Don't panic, Mom will handle this. Besides, the person specifically asked for me by name and didn't tell the police, so there should still be room for maneuver."

"And I also want to say that once this matter is resolved, you shouldn't become the Phantom Thief Kid to investigate Toichi's case anymore. Just go to school and be an ordinary person, okay?" Kuroba Chikage said in a deep voice.

She always wanted Kaito to live a normal life and not get involved in their adult affairs.

But things didn't go as planned. Kaito eventually learned that his father was Kaito Kid and inherited Toichi Kuroba's will, becoming Kaito Kid himself.

If she had known things would turn out this way, she should have burned all of Kaito Kid's equipment and let him disappear without a trace.

Unfortunately, she didn't have magic and hadn't anticipated this.

While it may be a bit late to say this now, it's not too late.

Kaito could still live a normal life, as long as he doesn't become that damned phantom thief.

Kaito, just answer your mom.

Upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba fell silent, his hand gripping his phone turning slightly white, a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

Although Kaito Kuroba didn't say anything, Chikage Kuroba understood what her son meant.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sigh again.

The father and son are both in such terrible condition; they really cause no peace of mind whatsoever.

Especially the older one, who is so sick he won't take his medicine and keeps trying to go crazy and kill people outside. Sooner or later she will either be killed by this father and son or worked to death.

But what can be done? This is the man she chose herself, so even if she has to cry, she has to see this through.

There's really no other way.

If time could be turned back, she probably wouldn't have chosen Kuroba Toichi, because such a life was just too tiring and painful.

Most people simply cannot withstand it; it could even drive them insane.

“Okay, I understand what you’re thinking.” Kuroba Chikage continued, “However, there are some things that can’t be discussed over the phone. I’ll talk to you about them when I get back.”

She is now hesitating whether or not to tell Kaito that Toichi is not dead.

However, if Kaito knew that his father was not dead, he would definitely insist on seeing his father, since the two of them had not seen each other for seven or eight years.

However, Toichi's current situation is not suitable for Kaito to see. If Kaito were to see him, Toichi's image of being omnipotent would be shattered in Kaito's mind.

The next situation is that Kaito is disappointed and Toichi is desperate.

This will lead to even more troublesome things.

And the culprit behind all of this is Kitahara Natsuhiro, who knows that Kuroba Kaito is actually Kaito Kid.

However, Chikage Kuroba did not blame Natsuhiro Kitahara.

Even if Kitahara Natsuyu doesn't know about this, there will be Minamihara Natsuyu and Nishimon Natsuyu who do, unless Kaito doesn't intend to become Kaito Kid.

However, Kaito has been very close to his father since childhood, and he has also learned amazing magic tricks, as if he were a born phantom thief.

Therefore, this matter is really not Kitahara Natsuhiro's fault; the blame lies with Kuroba Toichi, who was courting death for no reason.

It's all Kuroba Toichi's fault!
But now, it's no use saying all this. She just wants to finish things quickly and then go to Las Vegas to keep an eye on Thief One.

We can't let Dao Yi go crazy over there.

If they get caught, the consequences will be unimaginable.

What Chikage Kuroba didn't know was that Toichi Kuroba wasn't in Las Vegas at all, but had taken the same flight as her to Tokyo, and was also at Haneda Airport.

However, Kuroba Toichi was in disguise, and Kuroba Chikage was exhausted, so she didn't notice anything amiss.

She was so tired.

But after thinking it over, Chikage Kuroba decided to keep it a secret, because it wasn't the right time to tell Kaito yet.

"Mom, I'm sorry." A resolute glint flashed in Kaito Kuroba's eyes: "I know this decision is difficult for you, but I have to keep going because I am the only man in the Kuroba family."

"I am also my father's son, so I must find the murderer who killed my father and avenge him. Therefore, I will never give up my identity as Phantom Thief Kid, even if it means being torn to pieces."

After all, his all-powerful father died in a magic escape show, a nightmare he would never forget.

Therefore, he must seize those who join and make them pay the price.

Even if I am wrong, even if my father is wrong, I still have to do it.

Because he is the son of Kuroba Toichi, it is only natural for a son to avenge his father.

"I understand. I won't say any more to you now. I'll be going back soon. We can talk about other things when I get back," said Kuroba Chikage.

"Yeah, I get it, Mom."

Afterwards, Kuroba Chikage hung up the phone and began composing a text message.

I'm back in Tokyo now. Let's meet up sometime! The sooner the better!

After sending the text message, she received a call from Terai Kinosuke. Then she left the room, went outside, and took a car directly home.

After Kuroba Chikage left, a man appeared behind her and watched her leave.

"Qianying, I will take care of everything, you don't need to worry!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the man's figure disappeared into the darkness once again.

the other side.

After hanging up the phone, Kaito Kuroba lay listlessly on the sofa, no longer in the mood to watch the comedy shows on TV.

I'm not in the mood to watch TV right now.

Let's figure out how to deal with this first.

Although Mr. Kitahara Natsuhiro did not tell the police about this, what if he had?
So it still needs to be addressed.

Buzz buzz.
At that moment, Kaito Kuroba's phone rang again.

But this time it wasn't a call from Chikage Kuroba, but a text message from another girl.

Kaito, you're in trouble lately!
