As the smoke cleared, Kira Yoshikage stared blankly in the direction where Kuroba Kaito had left.
Just as he had said before, he had already used his Stand Killer Queen ability to plant numerous bombs in the auction venue, which could be triggered at any time. If Takahashi Yu hadn't said he would spare the opponent's life, Kira Yoshikage could have directly used the first bomb he had planted to kill the opponent.
Moreover, while Killer Queen is a melee-type Stand, she is not without long-range pursuit abilities.
"Second Bomb: Sheer Heart Attack!"
Behind Kira Yoshikage, the badge on the back of Killer Queen's right hand fell off and transformed into a blue mini car about 20 centimeters long, with skull patterns on the front and back.
"Look at me..."
Accompanied by murmurs, the eyes of the skull emitted bursts of crimson light, and then it chased after the fleeing target at an extremely fast speed.
After undergoing an evolution, Killer Queen's second bomb, Withered Heart-Piercing Attack, has had all its performance optimized. Therefore, Yoshikage Kira is not worried that Withered Heart-Piercing Attack will go out of control and kill Kaito Kuroba.
Of course, some hardships are inevitable.
......
On the other side, Kaito Kuroba, who was constantly fleeing, was completely unaware that a blue mini car was approaching him at an extremely fast speed behind him. After all, normal people cannot see a Stand user's Stand, including the Stand's abilities and the effects it causes to a certain extent.
Although it was invisible to the naked eye, as the danger drew ever closer, a bad premonition suddenly welled up in Kaito Kuroba's heart, and he abruptly stopped in his tracks.
At the same time, the withered, piercing attack had already passed by the target and reached the front, and the red light in the skull's eyes shone brightly!
Chapter 28: If you don't want to save the world, then you'll have to talk about some practical issues.
boom--! ! !
A violent explosion rang out. Although he had stopped in time, the impact of the explosion still sent Kaito Kuroba flying, crashing heavily into the wall.
If the previous explosion only caused severe physical pain, then what Kaito Kuroba is experiencing now is far more than just pain.
My body has almost lost all sensation. I tried desperately to move my body, but there was no response.
It was another invisible attack, but this time it was much more powerful than the last. Judging from the effect, it did seem to be some kind of bomb, just as the blond man had said. However, there was no sound of an explosion, no flash of light, and no one knew how it was detonated.
Everything that happened tonight was beyond Kaito Kuroba's comprehension. He knew he was probably doomed this time. He was struggling to move and was completely at the mercy of others. He didn't even need guards; anyone could arrest him.
Sure enough, a short while later, Yoshikage Kira arrived beside Kaito Kuroba and withdrew the Withering Heart-Piercing Attack that had been hovering next to him.
......
A few minutes later, Kaito Kuroba was brought to Yu Takahashi.
Of course, it wasn't the previous private box, but the rooftop of the auction venue.
A cool night breeze blew by as Takahashi Yu looked at Kuroba Kaito in front of him. He had black hair and a handsome face, and wore a white magician's hat. His white suit and cloak were covered in dust, making him look somewhat disheveled. He had lost consciousness and would probably be lying on the ground if he hadn't been supported.
"Although our first meeting may not be very pleasant, let me introduce myself. I am Takahashi Yu, the young master of the Takahashi Group. It's nice to meet you, Phantom Thief Kid."
Takahashi Yu was met with silence.
Before each operation, Kaito Kuroba would conduct a preliminary investigation, so he knew that the person in front of him was the one he had stolen from this time.
"I never expected to be caught here."
Kaito Kuroba said with a hint of helplessness.
Knowing the consequences of his actions, Kaito Kuroba could already foresee his fate. Even though he usually returned the stolen treasures to their rightful owners, theft was theft. At best, he might spend his life in prison; at worst...
Oh well, it can't get any worse anyway, so I shouldn't think about it too much.
He shook his head, clearing his mind of all distractions, but Takahashi Yu's next words stunned Kuroba Kaito.
"Interested in working for me, Mr. Kuroba Kaito?"
He stared blankly at Takahashi Yu for a moment. Although he always acted in a high-profile manner, he would actually disguise himself in some ways. For example, the single lens on his face was designed to make it difficult for people to see his face clearly by using the principle of reflection. However, he was recognized directly now.
However, now that he had been captured, there was no use in knowing these things. After pondering what Takahashi Yu had just said, Kuroba Kaito raised his head.
"You want to recruit me and make me your subordinate?"
Although it seems absurd, it's not impossible.
With his skills as a phantom thief over the years, if he were recruited, he would be more than capable of striking at business rivals.
Whether it's stealing trade secrets or disrupting business activities, as long as the person in front of you doesn't say anything, who would expect that Phantom Thief Kid would be recruited by someone else?
Besides, the other party already knows my identity; what if they use people close to me to threaten me...?
Thinking of this, a gloomy look immediately appeared on Kaito Kuroba's face.
"Don't worry, Mr. Kaito, I don't think I would go so far as to threaten someone with the people around me."
Seeing Kaito Kuroba's gloomy expression, Takahashi Yu roughly guessed what the other was worried about.
Although he is a phantom thief, the other party is not a heartless person, so it is normal for him to have such concerns.
Kaito Kuroba responded with a silent response.
Can you really believe something just because it's said? Having been a phantom thief for so long, Kaito Kuroba knows very well that the adult world is dirty.
"Let me tell you about our goals and the truth of this world."
Knowing that the other party was unlikely to believe him easily, Takahashi Yu spoke again.
He planned to tell the other person about the various supernatural phenomena happening in the world, hoping to persuade this talented person to join his organization.
Soon, he told the other party about the current state of the world, the world-destroying disasters that would happen in the future, the original intention of his organization to save the world, and some reports of supernatural disasters that had already occurred that he had prepared in advance.
Looking at the disaster reports in his hands, Kaito Kuroba felt for the first time how absurd his world was.
"Are all of these true?"
"If it's fake, it's easy to find out."
Upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba nodded. If it were to deceive him, the other party wouldn't use such an absurd lie. Therefore, Kaito Kuroba chose to accept it and also believed in the other party's original intention to save the world.
but...
"I'm sorry I can't help you, but I also have things to do, so I'm afraid I can't join."
In the end, Kaito Kuroba chose to refuse.
He has his own things to do and doesn't want to join any organization.
"Is that so? In that case, I won't force you."
Upon hearing Kaito Kuroba's refusal, Yu Takahashi shook his head.
"However, since Mr. Kaito is unwilling to join us, let's talk about some more practical issues."
"Wait, what do you want to do?"
Seeing Takahashi Yu's expression, Kuroba Kaito suddenly had a bad feeling.
"What are you doing? Mr. Kaito, you haven't forgotten that you almost ruined an auction organized by one of my companies tonight, and startled quite a few guests, have you?"
Takahashi Yu took the stolen sapphire from Kuroba Kaito's pocket and handed it to Kira Yoshikage, who was standing nearby.
"Although the world has become somewhat abnormal, financial resources are still essential for the organization to function. So since they've stolen from me, they should be prepared to be punished."
"Moreover, now that you know those secrets, in order to prevent them from being leaked and causing social panic, you'll have to stay in jail for a while."
With that, Takahashi Yu waved to Kira Yoshikage.
"Don't worry, it's a private imprisonment. As long as you behave, there won't be any vigilante justice, and we won't actually send you to prison."
Before Kaito Kuroba could say anything, Yoshikage Kira behind him used his Stand, Killer Queen, to knock him unconscious with a single chop and drag him away. The stolen jewel was returned to the booth, and it was announced that the jewel had been recovered from Kaito Kid, who had escaped. The auction continued.
If Kaito Kuroba were still awake at this moment, he would definitely make a comment.
Where's the promised savior? Is this how it's become if we can't even talk about ideals?
Chapter 29: Time Travel Count Refreshed, New Role as Card Ainz Ooal Gown
Late at night, inside Takahashi Yu's mansion.
Takahashi Yu was sitting in the room; it was already midnight.
Open the system panel; the monthly travel count has been refreshed.
In addition, there are three system prompts below.
......
General Mission: [The Auction That Never Stops] (Completed)
Task Description: Please ensure the auction tonight proceeds smoothly.
Mission Reward: 300 points
......
General Mission: [The Phantom Thief's Mistake] (Completed)
Mission Description: Capture the Phantom Thief Kid who has come to disrupt the auction.
Mission Reward: 500 points
......
General Mission: [Contain Sadako's Videotape] (Completed)
Task Description: Please resolve the potential problems caused by the Sadako videotape.
Mission Reward: 850 points
......
The first two missions appeared yesterday morning after Takahashi Yu received a report from a Foundation employee that Phantom Thief Kid intended to steal auction items. The later Sadako videotape mission occurred when she went to Eriri's house to resolve the issue of the Sadako videotape.
All three tasks have been completed, totaling 1650 points.
Adding the several hundred points that Takahashi Yu earned after obtaining the Kira Yoshikage cosplay card before the time travel function was activated, the total is 1980 points.
To be honest, this number of points isn't much, considering that a random role-playing card in the system shop originally costs 2800 points. However, the good thing is that Takahashi Yu is currently offering a newbie discount.
New player discounts mean that Takahashi Yu will receive different discounts on the first four random role-playing cards she purchases in the store. The first role-playing card is 10% off, the second is 20% off, the third is 40% off, the fourth is 20% off, and the fifth and subsequent cards are at the original price.
