Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

"Arsène Lupin, an American of Chinese descent."

"Arsène Lupin..."

Yukiko repeated the name: "It seems to be the same name as a phantom thief."

"That's right. My father was a fan of phantom thieves, so he gave me this name."

Chen Feng never blushes when he lies.

"A phantom thief, huh? I really wish there was a phantom thief who could teach that Yusaku guy a lesson!"

Yukiko spoke angrily, her voice not loud, but Chen Feng in front of her heard it clearly.

"Oh? It seems that Mr. Baron Dark Night has done something wrong."

"Of course, he..."

Just as she was about to speak, Yukiko seemed to remember something and ultimately chose to keep her family matters to herself: "It's nothing, just a small conflict, it's been resolved."

Chen Feng couldn't hide Yukiko's change in expression, but he didn't expose her. He simply said:

"That's good."

"Oh, right."

Yukiko spoke up, "Arsène, since your father is a fan of phantom thieves, you should know something about this, right?"

"If I know anything about it, I guess so," Chen Feng said, nodding without denying it.

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Yukiko's eyes immediately lit up:

"Do you know the Phantom Thief Kid who's been making headlines lately?"

"Phantom Thief Kid?"

Chen Feng feigned surprise: "Miss Yukiko is also interested in phantom thieves?"

At this point, Chen Feng pretended to remember something:

"That makes sense. After all, Yukiko's son, the high school detective Shinichi Kudo, is about to face off against Kaito Kid. It's normal for Yukiko to be interested."

"Shinichi? He's going to fight Kaito Kid?"

Yukiko pinched her chin and thought for a moment: "That's true. He, as a detective, wouldn't let go of the opportunity to go up against a world-renowned phantom thief."

"Forget about him, tell me quickly, do you know that Phantom Thief Kid?"

Seeing Yukiko's excited expression, Chen Feng was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and said:

"As for him... I don't know much about him either. I've only heard that he's a pretty good magician who likes to steal treasures while dressed in white and under the watchful eyes of others. I really don't know the specifics."

"The magician, the phantom thief..."

Yukiko looked interested: "It's much more interesting than detective stories..."

Chen Feng said, "Isn't Mr. Yusaku a very skilled detective?"

"He?"

Yukiko's smile froze slightly, as if she remembered something that made her angry, and she said in a huff, "It's only because I got married, otherwise I would definitely have gone after that phantom thief!"

"Ah……"

Chen Feng chuckled but didn't reply. He couldn't very well say, "The phantom thief you're talking about is sitting right in front of you right now, could he?"

Chen Feng spoke again: "Would I have the honor of inviting the beautiful princess of Teitan to a meal as a fan?"

"Ok?"

Faced with Chen Feng's invitation, Yukiko hesitated only slightly before nodding in agreement: "Okay, I'm free right now anyway, but I'm quite picky about food."

Yukiko wasn't too worried that Chen Feng would do anything bad, after all... she was quite confident in her own skills.

This is also why she wasn't afraid of the tattooed youth harassing her at all.

"I will try my best to satisfy Her Highness."

Chen Feng smiled and replied.

……

Not long after.

In a private room of a high-end Western restaurant in Beika City.

Chen Feng and Yukiko chatted casually.

From the past to the present, from Western Europe to East Asia, Chen Feng's vast knowledge amazed Yukiko, while his humorous tone made her laugh repeatedly.

After finishing another glass of wine, Chen Feng refilled Yukiko's glass with red wine.

Looking at Chen Feng pouring wine in front of her, Yukiko smiled and said:

"Mr. Arsen, you really are just like that phantom thief, you know how to please girls."

"As a fan, I am also very happy to see Ms. Yukiko smile."

Chen Feng smiled and replied, raising his glass as he spoke: "Madam, Cheers."

"Cheers."

Yukiko raised her hand and gently clinked glasses with Chen Feng before downing her red wine in one gulp.

"Hmm... what a pity. If I had met you before I got married, I might have chosen to pursue you."

"Does this mean I've won Princess Teitan's favor?"

Chen Feng spoke very frankly, but this did not offend Yukiko.

However, Yukiko didn't answer. Instead, she glanced at her watch and said:

"Alright, it's getting late, I should head back now."

With that, Yukiko nodded slightly to Chen Feng, then got up from her seat to leave.

"Oh, Ms. Yukiko."

"Ok?"

"Your flowers."

Chen Feng presented the bouquet of roses he had brought earlier to Yukiko.

……

Chapter 202 Disguise

Yukiko didn't refuse and simply reached out to take it.

"Thank you for your hospitality today, Arsène Lupin, who shares the same name as the phantom thief..."

At this point, Yukiko suddenly felt a wave of dizziness wash over her, so intense that it gave her no time to react.

"you……"

Yukiko's smile was replaced by shock. She wanted to raise her hand to point at Chen Feng, but the effects of the drug made her too weak to even lift her hand.

Her legs gave way and she collapsed to the ground, but fortunately Chen Feng reached out and supported her.

"I'm so sorry, Your Highness. Please forgive my rudeness. I will apologize to you personally after the performance."

Chen Feng's gentle voice rang in Yukiko's ears, but she had no strength to respond. She opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound before her head lolled to the side and she fell into a deep sleep.

He carried the unconscious Yukiko to the nearby hotel.

"Hello, I'd like to book a room."

Chen Feng placed Yukiko's ID card on the front desk and began to speak.

"Yes, sir, may I ask you..."

Before she could finish speaking, the receptionist noticed Yukiko, who had already fallen asleep, and her eyes instantly became wary.

He whispered something to the person next to him, who immediately understood and quickly left the front desk to bring over a person dressed as a manager, followed by two vigilant security guards.

"Manager, this is the gentleman."

The receptionist lowered her head and said something to the manager.

The manager nodded and picked up Yukiko's ID card: "Kudo Yukiko... Yukiko?"

Upon seeing the information on the ID card, the hotel manager was taken aback. His gaze swept over Yukiko's face in Chen Feng's arms, and he spoke with a serious expression:

"Sir, what is your relationship with Ms. Yukiko?"

"What? This is Ms. Yukiko?"

The security guard behind him was also startled, a look of surprise on his face.

However, the other young security guard clearly didn't recognize Yukiko and asked with a curious look, "Who is Yukiko?"

"You don't know her? Yukiko was the nation's goddess back then! If she hadn't retired from the entertainment industry and married the world-famous detective novelist Yusaku Kudo, she would probably still be a leading figure in the entertainment industry today!"

"Huh? Yusaku Kudo? That means this man is Kudo..."

"Idiot! The age doesn't match up at all! How old is this person? How could he possibly be Yusaku Kudo!"

The two chattered away, and although their voices weren't loud, everyone present could hear them clearly.

Chen Feng never expected that Yukiko would still be so popular after retiring from the entertainment industry for so many years, that she could be recognized just by checking into a hotel.

He immediately smiled and spoke:

“She’s a friend of mine. She wasn’t feeling well, so I brought her here to rest. If you have any concerns, you can come with me. I’ll leave immediately after I put her in her room.”

"In that case, I'm sorry to bother you."

The hotel manager smiled and spoke, then gestured to the receptionist, who immediately understood and quickly completed the task on the computer, handing over a room key.

"What's your name sir?"

"Yasen."

"Mr. Arsen, this way please."

The hotel manager gestured for the guests to enter.
