Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

"Stop talking, I have a train ticket here from Detroit to New York, anyone want it?"

"I want it! I'll pay double the price!"

"Double is nothing, I'll offer triple!"

"Five times!"

"Ten times!"

……

Chapter 183 Chen Feng is here?

The next day.

On the beach on the west side of New York City.

A dense crowd gathered here, dressed in swimsuits and trunks, playing and frolicking.

Of course, many people were also looking around, seemingly searching for something.

On the rooftop of a building not far from the beach, three women and one man were gathered, looking down.

The three women were naturally Su Luoxue and her two companions, while the man was Cook Leighton, the modern head of the Leighton Group.

Looking at the lively scene below, Su Luoxue frowned slightly, turned her gaze to Cook beside her, and said:

"Mr. Cook, isn't what you're doing a bit inappropriate? Inviting so many tourists is making things a bit too chaotic, isn't it? Aren't you afraid that Kidd might blend into the crowd and launch an attack?"

Upon hearing Su Luoxue's words, Ouyang Muxue and the other person also turned their attention to Cook.

However, it is clear that a businessman, especially a successful one, will not give up immediate profits.

Cook revealed a cunning smile:

"Isn't this exactly why I invited you all here? Our consortium's cash flow is in trouble, and we urgently need to sell a batch of treasures to obtain working capital. Although King Cross's treasure is very valuable, it is not very well-known."

Therefore, I need to take this opportunity to raise the profile of King Cross's treasure, thereby increasing its value by 3% to 5%, or even more!

Cook spoke his mind without reservation. As a businessman, he never felt that making money was anything shameful, even though sometimes the methods he used to make money were a little less than honorable...

Seeing Cook talking so confidently, Wendy bluntly poured cold water on his enthusiasm:

"However... if Kidd succeeds, not only will Mr. Cook's plan fall through, but he will also lose a lot of money."

"So it's up to you all," Cook said casually, though his tone betrayed a hint of confidence.

"However, I think that even if Kidd is incredibly skilled, he probably can't steal King Cross's treasure, which weighs several hundred pounds, from the bottom of the sea, right? Besides, I've prepared so many submarines to guard the treasure chest 24 hours a day."

Just as the group was talking, a commotion suddenly broke out on the beach not far from the building:

"Ah!!! What's that! It's so beautiful!"

"It's a flock of birds! No! It's Kid!!! Kid's here!"

"Lord Kid! I saw Lord Kid! Am I dreaming?"

"So cool! It was worth the day-long flight from Japan!"

"Lord Kid is looking at me! Lord Kid is looking at me!"

"You're talking nonsense! He was clearly looking at me!"

The crowd below was chattering away, their voices overlapping, making it noisier than a thousand birds chirping at the same time.

"what happened?"

Cook, looking annoyed, picked up the walkie-talkie and demanded to know what was going on.

Before anyone could reply over the walkie-talkie, Wendy, with her arms crossed in front of her, spoke first:

“Mr. Cook, you’ll know what’s going on if you take a look at the western sky.”

Upon hearing Wendy's words, Cook quickly turned his head to look west.

It was nearly evening, and the setting sun had not yet completely disappeared on the western horizon, its rays turning a large expanse of clouds orange-red.

Below the orange-red clouds, escorted by a large flock of seabirds, a white hang glider swept across the horizon and sped toward them.

"The... Phantom Thief Kid!"

Cook was taken aback, but quickly picked up the walkie-talkie after realizing what was happening:

"Attention everyone! Attention everyone! Phantom Thief Kid has appeared! I hereby declare an immediate state of emergency! Everyone, be ready to move out at any time to capture Phantom Thief Kid!"

Repeat: Everyone, be ready to move out at any time to capture Phantom Thief Kid!

As soon as Cook gave the order, a group of Leighton Group security personnel quickly sprang into action.

Nearby, Ouyang Muxue and her two companions, who were also standing on the rooftop, exchanged glances.

Wendy spoke first: "Let's go down and join in the fun."

"can."

Ouyang Muxue immediately agreed.

Su Luoxue did not refuse, nodded and followed the two down the building.

Just before leaving, he stopped and turned back to look at the figure on the hang glider.

“Yasen…” Su Luoxue murmured.

"Luoxue, let's go," Ouyang Muxue reminded her.

"Oh, here it comes."

Su Luoxue agreed, turned her gaze away, and quickly ran two steps to catch up with the two.

at the same time.

Chen Feng arrived on the hang glider, found his position, retracted the hang glider, and quickly descended, landing precisely on a stone platform in front of the beach.

"God! Kid! I love you, Kid!"

Upon seeing Chen Feng arrive, a Western woman in her twenties excitedly opened her arms to hug him, but Chen Feng dodged her, instead taking her left hand and gently kissing it.

"Thank you so much for your kind words, beautiful lady."

Chen Feng handed a fiery red rose to the woman and spoke gently.

"Thank... thank you..."

The woman covered her mouth, too excited to say anything for a moment. Under the hundreds of envious gazes around her, she could only accept the bright red rose.

Some people around wanted to step forward, but the reporters who had been waiting there reacted faster. Before the surrounding tourists could react, they had already squeezed in front of Chen Feng with their cameramen.

One by one, microphones wrapped in black cloth were handed over.

"Mr. Chen Feng, I am a reporter from The New York Times. I would like to interview you about your personal situation. What would you like to say about your current immense fame?"

"Mr. Kidd, I am a reporter from The Wall Street Journal. There are rumors that you have a very close relationship with Princess Amya of the Kingdom of Lorqing in Western Europe. Is that true?"

"Kidd, are you confident in facing the challenge from the Layton Group?"

"Mr. Chen Feng, may I ask what your purpose is in coming here?"

"Mr. Chen, may I ask..."

A barrage of questions were thrown at Chen Feng by the group of reporters, who were as eager as if they wanted to devour him whole.

joke.

This is Kidd! According to statistics, Chen Feng has over 3 million fans worldwide!

3 billion!

That's not 3 million ants, that's 3 million people! A 3 million-strong audience naturally means the birth of a breaking news story.

Most importantly... he has never been interviewed by any media outlet in a positive light since he became famous!

If Chen Feng were to answer even one of their questions, it would be the most memorable moment in their journalistic careers!

……

Chapter 184 The Detective's Response

Faced with a barrage of questions from reporters, Chen Feng smiled faintly.

His gaze swept over the direction of the building entrance, where people were constantly being dispatched to this side. He slowly squatted down on the stone platform, and his gentle voice entered the ears of everyone present, quickly silencing the originally noisy scene.

Only Chen Feng's voice echoed among the crowd:

"It's an honor to see you all here. My purpose in coming here is simple: just to say hello before the operation begins. That gentleman over there... seems a little too nervous..."

As he spoke, Chen Feng turned his gaze toward the outer edge of the crowd, where members of the New York pursuit team and security personnel from the Layton Group had arrived.

However, he was tightly blocked from approaching by the dense crowd surrounding him.

As soon as Chen Feng finished speaking, the hundreds of fans surrounding him turned around and looked at the pursuit team members who were standing on the outer edge of the crowd and trying to squeeze in.

Hundreds of eyes fell on the few dozen members of the pursuit team, causing them to stop in their tracks and freeze in place as they were trying to move toward Chen Feng.

Gollum—

Noticing the hundreds of murderous gazes in front of him, a member of the pursuit team swallowed hard.

He gently withdrew his left foot half a step, seemingly wanting to get out of the crowd first.

"Get them out!"

It's unclear who shouted first, but then hundreds of people started moving.

Some of the quick-thinking members of the pursuit team, seeing that things were not going well, had already taken off running.

Those who reacted slowly were in trouble. Some dragged, some pushed, and some even had four or five people lift a member of the pursuit team onto their heads and then throw him onto the beach some distance away.

Not far away.

Upon seeing this, Wendy burst out laughing without any hesitation.

"Pfft... Haha, this thief is quite interesting. Not only does he know magic and animal taming, but he can also occasionally use some tricks."

"Inciting fans' emotions is unacceptable."
