I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

Such a good opportunity, I'm sure those two guys won't let it slip by. They can use this unfamiliar guy to draw fire. They were just wondering how to infiltrate, but now that he's a shield, their infiltration won't be so difficult.

"Tell me, where did that guy come from?!"

no? !

In the monitoring room, everyone stared in disbelief at the incredible scene before them.

The surrounding surveillance cameras confirm that they are not broken at all.

How could the other party have gotten in here without anyone noticing!

"Conan, where are you going?"

"Hurry over there, that person is gone!"

Conan was the first to react, rushing out of the monitoring room and running towards the location of the Queen's Tears in the museum.

Upon hearing Conan's words, the others immediately understood and followed him.

When I arrived at the art museum, the person had already disappeared, and the Queen's Tears were no longer there.

"No way?"

Megure wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. Was he really gone just like that?

"Heh, what kind of master thief? They're all just trash. They steal a fake piece and call themselves a master thief?"

A hint of disdain flashed across the museum director's face.

"It seems...he seems to know."

Conan pulled out a gem from around a corner, along with a piece of paper. This gem was the same one that the man in the orange mask had taken earlier.

[Even though I know it's fake, I still want to show you all that I'm just as good as the other phantom thieves, right? Also, I'll take the real one!]

Upon seeing the handwriting on the note, the librarian's face instantly turned grim, and he immediately ran towards the basement.

He put it in the basement immediately after receiving the notification letter.

He didn't tell anyone!

They made their way to the basement, saw the door already opened, and watched the last figure hurriedly leave. Everyone followed, and this path led directly to the rooftop.

On the rooftop.

The Cat's Eye sisters, Lupin III, Kaito Kid, and Byakuya each stand in one of the four directions.

"Hands up, surrender!"

The silence was shattered when the Metropolitan Police Department staff suddenly burst in.

The rooftop door had been closed. Nakamori Ginzo looked at the group with a smug expression. Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he wouldn't be able to escape today.

"Ugh, this is such a hassle. You know perfectly well this is a rooftop, so why did you bring the jewels here in the first place?!"

Kidd looked at White Night with some distress.

In fact, all five of them knew the true location of the gem, but none of them took any action.

They originally planned to take advantage of the chaos created by Bai Ye to seize the gem.

As it turned out, they were a step behind Bai Ye. After Bai Ye took it, they immediately followed him and ended up on the rooftop.

Fortunately, I was able to leave using a hang glider.

Is Bai Ye also a hang glider?

"Because the stage has already been set up, but without an audience, the performance would be a complete failure. Only the performance will put me at the peak."

In the basement, I could easily take the gem and leave.

But leaving like this felt like something was missing; he longed for attention.

Perhaps because he lived in a peaceful era, he pursued something different from the others. He liked being admired and enjoyed being looked up to.

"Stage? The prison is your stage, you pretentious fools. I'm about to rip off your masks one by one!"

With an air of absolute confidence, Nakamori Ginzo watched as the TV station flew in a helicopter and broadcast the scene live from the air. He felt incredibly smug.

Aoko, just watch! This time, Dad has finally caught Phantom Thief Kid!

"Everyone wears a mask. Oh, the fleeting pleasure before the curtain rises. Remember me, this is my beginning. I rise from filth and mud. I am the blazing lotus, I am the unique beauty."

Bai Ye murmured softly, accompanied by a clap of thunder in the sky.

Bai Ye clapped his hands and shouted, "Art is an explosion!!"

Bang! !

The clone suddenly exploded, and a cloud of smoke instantly spread outwards, obscuring the view of others.

After the smoke cleared, Bai Ye's figure had already disappeared.

In the square, looking at the various scenes on the big screen, with everyone's incredulous gazes, even Phantom Thief Kid had run to the edge of the building looking for a glider, Bai Ye lowered his head and touched the Queen's Tear in his pocket with his left hand.

"They're gone. It's over."

Bai Ye glanced at the screen one last time, then looked at Kasumigaoka Utaha and the other two before turning and leaving.

There's nothing left to see.

"Hey! I think you'd be perfect for the role of a phantom thief. How about I write a story about a phantom thief and a girl who writes, based on you?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly caught up with Byakuya. Just now, she had a sudden inspiration from that scene, and she put Byakuya into the role of the phantom thief, and then put herself into the role of the writing girl.

Since readers said my previous book was too harsh, I'll use Byakuya and myself as the basis for this book and write a sweet romance!

"Bai Ye is not a phantom thief!"

Eriri retorted, muttering something as she watched Byakuya's retreating figure.

Stop sneaking around here!

"Baiye-kun's name is quite suitable."

Kato Megumi covered her mouth and laughed. The three of them quickly followed Bai Ye and took up positions on his left and right sides.

"They just ran away like that?"

"How to do?"

"gone!"

Lai Sheng Rui, Lai Sheng Tong, and Lai Sheng Ai exchanged a glance, and then the three of them jumped off the building.

Not to be outdone, Phantom Thief Kid, who was standing nearby, also ran away.

This time, it was incredibly embarrassing.

Not only did I fail to get the invitation, but someone else snatched it up, and I even got humiliated by them before I left!

"Lupin isn't getting away!"

"Wouldn't it be stupid not to run?"

Lupin III threw a smoke bomb on the ground, then immediately followed it away in his glider.

What a bad start to today!

The Queen's Tears! If I could get my hands on it, I would make a fortune. But thinking about how that person took it, Lupin made a lasting impression on Bai Ye.

Next time, he'll definitely get his revenge!

"They all just ran away like that?! Huh?"

Megure Juichi turned his head in a daze, realizing that he had failed to capture even a single person despite his own efforts.

"Inspector Megure, we're probably going to be on the front page tomorrow. All the police, Phantom Thief Kid, Cat's Eye, and Lupin III will just be background figures for that guy."

Shiratori Ninzaburo rubbed his forehead, feeling that tomorrow's news would be absolutely explosive.

Chapter 46: Sato Miwako, determined to capture Byakuya (4K chapters available for further reading)

"Uncle Nagaishi, just who is that guy?"

Having just experienced failure, the three sisters of the next life approached Uncle Nagaishi. They had considered that they would fail in the end, but at most they thought they would fail at the hands of Phantom Thief Kid and Lu Ban III.

As equally renowned thieves, their skills are definitely no less than Cat's Eye's.

But he was crushed by an unknown guy as a stepping stone.

It's impossible for them to say they didn't have other thoughts.

"No, it's like he appeared out of nowhere. There's no information about him on the dark web."

Uncle Yongshi shook his head. He was the housekeeper of the Laisheng family, helping the three sisters manage their businesses while also helping Cat's Eye obtain intelligence.

He usually provides the intelligence himself, and this time it was his mistake. He had planned for the other two, but he didn't expect someone to suddenly appear.

"Ugh!!! This is so annoying!! I've been used as a stepping stone by that guy!"

Lai Sheng Ai scratched her hair, a hint of displeasure flashing across her face.

"Sigh, being a thief is getting harder and harder!"

Lai Sheng Lei jokingly said that they became thieves only because of some unavoidable reasons.

"Big sister, this is Father's collection. It might even be related to his death. That guy took it. I'm afraid we should get it back, right?"

Lai Sheng Tong glanced at Lai Sheng Rui, who was still relatively optimistic, and offered a word of advice.

But this isn't the time to talk about that. We absolutely have to get back Father's collection. Now that the Queen's Tears has been taken by the masked man, it will be difficult to get it back later.

"First, we need to find information about that guy."

Lai Sheng Lei shook her head; how could she not want that?

However, given the current situation, they have no information about the masked man at all. Without even an information, how are they supposed to find him and retrieve the Queen's Tears?

"However, judging from the previous situation, that guy will definitely continue to commit crimes, so we still have a chance!"

The reason why Rui is optimistic is because the masked man will still come out to steal things later.

As long as he makes another move, he will surely be able to find the opponent's weakness.
