Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

"The stars fall, the performance begins..."

Rice frowned. He didn't understand what Chen Feng was trying to say in the first part of the sentence, but the phrase "prelude to the performance" in the second part reminded him of a large-scale event that was about to begin...

……

Meanwhile, on Chen Feng's side...

A knock on the door interrupted Chen Feng's act of feeding the pigeons.

"Who is it?" Chen Feng put down the breadcrumbs in his hand and looked towards the door to ask.

"it's me."

Anna's voice came from outside the door.

……

Chapter 148 The Pursuit Team Arrives

Chen Feng stepped forward and opened the door.

Anna, dressed in a black tulle dress, was standing outside the door. Her makeup was exquisite, and there was a fine sheen of sweat on her forehead, indicating that she had just returned from a busy day outside.

"Miss Anna, did you just get back from your busy schedule?" Chen Feng greeted Anna.

"Yes, aren't you the same?"

Anna smiled and replied, then took out her phone and pointed to the latest news reports. The top three trending topics were all about Chen Feng's announcement letter.

"Ah……"

Chen Feng chuckled and stepped aside from the doorway: "Please come in."

Anna went inside, and Chen Feng immediately closed the door.

Looking at the laptop on the table used for real-time monitoring, Anna couldn't help but sigh.

"You really are a very busy person. Am I delaying your plans?"

“Madam, even the most perfect performance becomes meaningless without an audience to appreciate it. I think Miss Anna is the audience I’m looking for.”

Chen Feng's gentle voice reached my ears, along with a blue rose.

Hearing Chen Feng's words, Anna reached out and took the flowers, a smile playing on her lips. Her eyes darted around, and she asked in return:

"Really? Then I'd like to ask, in Mr. Phantom Thief's eyes, who is the most suitable audience member, me or Amya?"

"Ok?"

Chen Feng was slightly taken aback by this completely unrelated question.

"Hahaha……"

Anna covered her mouth and let out a silvery laugh: "Just kidding, don't mind it."

As Anna said this, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly concealed.

She then took out the clothes she had prepared for Chen Feng.

"Try this tuxedo on me. I picked it out for you myself. Since you're going to perform on stage, you should wear something appropriate, right?"

"it is good."

Chen Feng reached out and took it.

"The World Magicians Championship starts in two days. Have you decided what to perform?"

"Hmm... As for the performance, it'll be a secret, but you won't be disappointed."

Chen Feng revealed a mysterious smile.

"Okay, I believe you."

Anna smiled and asked, "Is there anything I can help you with?"

"help……"

Chen Feng pondered for a moment, while Anna kept looking at him, waiting for his words.

"Miss Anna," Chen Feng said with a slight smile, "do you know about a type of ink that disappears when heated?"

……

That evening.

The streets outside the skyscraper have been blocked off.

Although Rollins had previously said he wasn't afraid of Kidd stealing it, once Chen Feng issued the notice, he obediently announced the suspension of the exhibition and invited the pursuit team to move into the venue.

Inside the venue, Su Luoxue and Rice, the captain of the Hawaii pursuit team, had arrived with a group of pursuers.

Rollins' secretary personally led the group and introduced them to the group.

"Look, gentlemen, every display case around us contains our exhibits, each one of which is quite valuable. And on the glass of the display cases, we have installed the latest intelligent alarm system. If anyone attempts to damage the display cases, we will receive an alarm immediately."

The female secretary explained things from the front, while Su Luoxue and the others followed closely behind.

After many twists and turns, the group finally arrived at the end of the exhibition.

Looking at the six portraits hanging on the wall, each slightly larger than a deck of cards, the female secretary continued:

"Please look, everyone. These are the most valuable treasures in our exhibition, portraits of Alexander the Great and his family, also known as the 'Emperor Cards'."

Looking at the six paintings hanging on the wall, Rice spoke first: "Why are the paintings still here? Why not move them?"

"This……"

Upon hearing Rice's words, the female secretary looked awkwardly in Su Luoxue's direction.

“I wouldn’t allow it,” Su Luoxue said.

All eyes in the room instantly turned to Su Luoxue.

Su Luoxue explained, "Chen Feng's methods are too sophisticated. If we transfer the painting now, there will be many more uncertainties during the transfer process. We have suffered from this before."

"And there was also the recent exhibition of Mr. Connery, son of the Earl of Lorraine in Western Europe, where Chen Feng exploited the situation by moving paintings, ultimately leading to their loss."

buzzing-

The sudden alarm sounding from the picture frame drew the attention of everyone present, and they all looked in one direction.

It turned out that a young man from the US pursuit team had placed his hand on the picture frame at some point.

Several red lights immediately lit up around the picture frame, the frame was locked instantly, and the alarm blared incessantly.

Seemingly realizing he had caused trouble, the young player gave an embarrassed smile.

"Um... I just tried it out, I didn't expect it to turn out like this..."

The young team member's voice grew softer and softer until he finally lowered his head, awaiting a reprimand.

"Colin! Stop making things worse! Get out of the way!"

Rice's stern voice rang out.

The young team member, referred to as "Colin," dared not refute, apologized repeatedly, and then retreated to the outside of the crowd.

Of course, no one noticed that as Colin turned around, a mysterious smile crept onto his lips and vanished in an instant.

"Alright, all clear. It was a misunderstanding."

The female secretary picked up the walkie-talkie and spoke.

Before long, the noisy alarms around us were silenced, and the picture frames on the wall were restored to their original state.

"The alarm system is adequate. I hope you can completely entrust the security work to our pursuit team and refrain from excessive interference, so as not to give Chen Feng any openings. Is that alright?"

Su Luoxue turned to her female secretary and spoke.

"Of course, my boss meant the same thing. He said that my friends in the pursuit team could take any action as long as they did not damage the building, and he would not interfere."

Su Luoxue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

What she feared most was that an operation would be commanded by multiple parties, which would inevitably lead to chaos and give others an opportunity to exploit.

"Thank you for your trust, Mr. Rollins. We will do our best," Rice said, stepping forward to express his gratitude.

The female secretary smiled and nodded, then turned and left, handing the entire scene over to the pursuit team.

Of course, to protect the exhibits, she still arranged for a number of people to stay in the monitoring room to prevent anyone from doing anything unwise when faced with the valuable exhibits around them.

"According to the notice, Chen Feng should make his move the day after tomorrow. Although we don't know what it has to do with the World Magicians Competition, we should still prepare in advance."

Su Luoxue's voice echoed throughout the venue, and the members of the Chinese pursuit team behind her nodded frequently.

Rice, being fluent in Chinese, understood Su Luoxue's words and translated them for the American pursuit team behind him. Only then did the two teams get to work.

However, they seemed unaware that "Colin," who had been scolded for accidentally triggering the alarm earlier, had apparently disappeared.

……

the other side.

Chen Feng, who had just returned from the meeting, was busy at his computer.

Based on what he had left on the alarm line in the picture frame, Chen Feng easily entered the exhibition's alarm system.

"Multiple alarms?"

Looking at the information displayed on the computer, Chen Feng muttered to himself.

It seems that Mr. Rollins took the security of this exhibition very seriously, as the alarm system used a completely independent operating procedure.

With multiple layers of defense that do not interfere with each other, it certainly looks very secure.

Chapter 149 The Return of "Rice"

"System, redeem a skill upgrade card to improve your hacking skills."

Chen Feng thought to himself.

The system notification sounded in my mind immediately afterward:
