Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

Looking at Chen Feng sitting in front of her, Su Luoxue acted decisively without warning, quickly grabbing Chen Feng's arm with one hand and taking out handcuffs with the other, swiftly cuffing him.

As expected, Su Luoxue copied nothing, accompanied by a crisp sound.

Chen Feng's arm, which she had been holding, suddenly flipped over, and a wisp of white smoke quickly rose from Chen Feng's sleeve and entered Su Luoxue's nose.

Su Luoxue was shocked and tried to back away, but it was too late.

The inhaled white smoke took effect quickly, and within seconds she was swaying precariously.

"Excuse me, madam, but please take a short rest. It's my turn now."

Chen Feng lowered his body, and his gentle voice rang in Su Luoxue's ear.

But the drug had already taken effect, and she was no longer able to do anything. She just mustered her last bit of strength, struggled to raise her hand, and grabbed Chen Feng's tie.

"I...I've got you, Chen Feng..."

Immediately afterwards, his head lolled to the side, and he completely lost consciousness.

Chen Feng was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled and shook his head: "Alright, I'll consider it catching me this once, Miss Su."

He gently removed Su Luoxue's hand from his tie, then picked her up and laid her horizontally on the sofa in the monitoring room. He then took off his clothes and covered her with them.

After doing all this, Chen Feng picked up Su Luoxue's walkie-talkie again, brought it to his lips, and immediately a voice identical to Su Luoxue's came from Chen Feng's mouth:

"Attention everyone in the venue! Chen Feng has already introduced hypnotic gas into the venue through the central air conditioning. I now order everyone to evacuate the venue immediately!"

Repeat: Everyone, evacuate the venue immediately!

Inside the venue.

Sun Luo, who was in charge of directing the meeting, looked completely bewildered after hearing the voice on the walkie-talkie.

Evacuate? What about the exhibits?

Sun Luo frowned as he looked at the six paintings hanging on the wall.

Before he could reply, he saw white smoke billowing from the central air conditioning vents around the venue.

"Captain! Let's go!"

Immediately, someone approached and tried to pull Sun Luo away.

Sun Luo didn't move, but just stood there with her mouth and nose covered, looking hesitant.

It wasn't that he didn't want to leave, but he was really worried about the exhibits...

As if aware of his concerns, "Su Luoxue's" voice immediately came through the walkie-talkie again:

"The items in the venue have been replaced with counterfeit ones. Everyone, don't worry, evacuate immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Luo put aside his last bit of hesitation and quickly led everyone to take the elevator and leave the venue.

Of course, he didn't know that the "Su Luoxue" he was talking to at this moment had been replaced by a different person.

Inside the monitoring room.

Looking at the empty venue in the surveillance footage, Chen Feng put down the walkie-talkie and smiled.

After glancing at Su Luoxue, who was still unconscious, he pushed open the door and left the monitoring room, heading towards the venue.

the other side.

Zheng Qiang and the others, who had arrived at the rooftop, were also stunned.

The surroundings were completely silent; there was no one there, and Chen Feng was nowhere to be seen.

"Where... is Chen Feng gone?

A member of the pursuit team standing nearby asked in confusion.

Zheng Qiang frowned, his mind racing. He felt like something was off.

Ring ring—

Just then, Jack, the deputy captain of the US pursuit team, received a phone call. He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Rice calling.

Jack didn't think much of it and pressed the answer button to pick up the call.

The next second, Rice's angry voice came through the phone: "Jack! Why aren't you answering the phone! What are you idiots doing!"

"Not answering the phone?"

Jack, who was being scolded, was completely bewildered. He picked up his phone and took a look.

22 missed calls!

Jack blinked twice, then spoke somewhat uncertainly:

"Team... Captain, I'm sorry, I didn't receive your call earlier. Besides, don't we have walkie-talkies? You can just tell me what you want to say from the monitoring room using the walkie-talkie."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Rice launched into an even harsher tirade:

"You're all a bunch of idiots! A bunch of idiots who could go to a museum! That's not me in the surveillance room! That's Kid in disguise! Arrest him!"

Rice was still saying something, but Jack couldn't listen anymore.

All that remained in his mind was the phrase "That was Kidd in disguise," echoing repeatedly.

"Quick! Go back now!"

Jack shouted and then took the lead in retracing his steps. The others, though puzzled by Jack's actions, followed him.

Not long after.

When they returned to the venue, Chen Feng had already left.

Only the six paintings, locked inside by their security systems, and a provocative white card remained.

I have come uninvited today to visit the artwork. Please forgive me. When the time for the notice arrives, I will take the "Emperor Card".

— Respectfully submitted by Phantom Thief Kid.

……

Chapter 152 The Magician's Tournament Begins!

News of Chen Feng's arrival, provocation of the pursuit team, and subsequent calm retreat spread quickly.

Immediately, many media outlets began reporting on this:

Chen Feng arrives at the Hawaii exhibition, simultaneously provoking both the Chinese and American pursuit teams!

Chen Feng left the "Emperor Card" behind; he could have taken it, but he didn't? Is this the allure of a phantom thief?

Does the pursuit team really have the ability to deal with Chen Feng?

The comments section below the report is filled with messages:

"To take it but not to, that's truly my style, Feng Shen!"

"Damn it, Chen Feng tricked me again!"

"As expected of my husband, he always does things that no one expects! I love him!"

"Seriously, what's with all this stuff in the comments section? They could steal it but they don't, they just wait until the announcement time to steal it. Isn't that just plain stupid?"

"You upstairs don't know anything! They're capable, so let them do whatever they want. You're the one who's meddling."

"Exactly, I hate people who always think they're the only ones who're sober when everyone else is drunk!"

Agreed!

"+1."

at this time.

Inside the hotel room.

The system notification in Chen Feng's mind rang on time:

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have exchanged 6 Glitter Papers, consuming 60 System Points.]

[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have redeemed 6 remote-controlled flints, consuming 60 system points.]

(Flash paper: A prop from Now You See Me; it's easily ignited, burns quickly, and leaves no smoke.)

The location of the room's balcony.

Hearing the system notification, Chen Feng smiled and gently swirled the wine glass in his hand.

"Everything is ready..."

Chen Feng muttered to himself.

Slightly raising his eyes to look at the moon in the sky, bathed in its silvery light, Chen Feng slowly raised his glass:

"Let's celebrate in advance that tomorrow's performance went smoothly, everyone, haha..."

……

The night slowly passed.

The next day, January 9th.

Today, the bustling place in Hawaii no longer seems to be the usual crowded beach, but rather a different location—the large opera house in the city center!

The reason is simple: the World Magicians Championship, held every three years, will be held here.

Based on the content of Chen Feng's announcement letter published online, it is speculated that the performance mentioned in Chen Feng's announcement letter as the "prelude to the show" most likely refers to the performance in the World Magicians Competition.

So today, magic enthusiasts from all over the world and Chen Feng's fans flocked here. In addition, after the news of Anna's participation in the World Magicians Competition was released, many of her fans had already come here.

Three groups of people gathered and surrounded the entire opera house, layer upon layer.

For a moment, shouts rose and fell outside.

Inside the Grand Theater.

After the host finished his long opening remarks, the World Magician Competition officially began.

The first to appear was a female magician from Hawaii.

Her props were very simple, just a simple magician's hat.
