"Mr. Chen, if your speculation comes true again, I will call you to let you know, and you will receive all the due compensation."

"it is good."

Chen Feng smiled and nodded, not really caring.

If you follow his instructions and search, you will find it, but the money... it's already lying in his system's warehouse, and the Metropolitan Police Department is destined not to find it.

Sato Miwako and the other woman hurriedly left the cafe, leaving only Chen Feng and Miyano Akemi inside.

Akemi Miyano sat in her seat, quietly gazing at Chen Feng's unbelievably youthful face. She fell silent for a long while before finally speaking:

"What should I call you? Mr. Chen? Shopkeeper? Or... Phantom Thief Kid?"

Chen Feng chuckled and shook his head.

"Perhaps you should call me 'Boss' instead."

"boss?"

Akemi Miyano lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment.

The boss's intentions were definitely more than just having her work part-time at the coffee shop; it could only mean...

"You want me to be your assistant during your operations?"

"Pretty much, but before that, you need to learn the basics of being a phantom thief's assistant."

Chen Feng stood up, pulled out a small booklet from somewhere, and threw it at Miyano Akemi.

Akemi Miyano reached out and took it.

The booklet is only half the size of a palm, square in shape, and looks small and exquisite. On the cover, there is a Q version of Kid's face.

Akemi Miyano opened the booklet and glanced at it briefly.

"First, disguise techniques, including makeup, the use of human skin masks, voice changing techniques..."

Secondly, always be mindful of controlling your facial expressions…

The booklet didn't contain much content, only a dozen or so items, but it covered a wide range of topics, suggesting that Chen Feng had prepared it in advance.

"Your job today is to memorize everything in this booklet, and then burn it."

Akemi Miyano didn't reply; she simply put the booklet away and into her pocket.

"From now on, you'll live here. The area behind the café is also mine. It's not very big, just two bedrooms and a living room. You'll stay in the second bedroom. Also, from now on, whether you're inside the café or outside, you'll be using this face that belongs to [Akami Haibara], understand?"

Akemi Miyano nodded.

Chen Feng also put down his empty coffee cup, went to the shop entrance, and locked the door.

He then led Akemi Miyano to the back living room before speaking again:

"Any further questions? You can ask me now."

"I……"

Akemi Miyano hesitated for a moment, a hint of expectation in her eyes: "You mentioned earlier... my sister, do you know her? Did she escape from the organization? Or is she here too?"

Akemi Miyano asked anxiously, her eyes fixed on Chen Feng, waiting for his answer.

"Hmm...you seem to have a lot of questions. How am I supposed to answer so many at once?"

Chen Feng chuckled and sat down on the sofa in the living room, seemingly in no hurry to answer Miyano Akemi's question.

Akemi Miyano took a deep breath, slowly walked up to Chen Feng, reorganized her thoughts, and then spoke again:

"My sister...is she here?"

Chen Feng gently shook his head.

This immediately disappointed Akemi Miyano.

"but……"

Chen Feng's simple "However" rekindled Miyano Akemi's hope, and she looked at Chen Feng with anxious eyes once again.

"But what?"

"Don't be in such a hurry. Wait a while, and believe me, you will see your sister in the near future."

"Any other questions?" Chen Feng asked.

"One last question."

Akemi Miyano looked up and met Chen Feng's gaze, seemingly trying to discern something from his calm, unwavering eyes:

"Aren't you afraid I'll betray you? After all, your bounty in the world is quite high."

"Ah……"

Chen Feng chuckled softly, shook his head slightly, and looked at Miyano Akemi with seemingly confident eyes:

“Madam, a magician who lacks even the most basic self-confidence is not worthy of performing on stage. Besides… no one but me can help you escape the organization’s pursuit.”

After saying this, Chen Feng didn't linger and got up to walk towards his room.

He stopped and turned around only when he reached the door of his bedroom:

"Oh right, I almost forgot, besides the skills you need to learn in the booklet, there's another skill that's even more urgent."

"What is it?"

Akemi Miyano looked on with curiosity.

"Make coffee."

Chen Feng still wore that gentle smile, but after saying that, he didn't give Miyano Akemi a chance to reply. He walked directly into the room and slammed the door shut.

"Brewing...coffee?"

Akemi Miyano seemed not to have reacted yet, and was slightly stunned.

Two minutes later, she slowly raised her head, looked at Chen Feng's tightly closed door, and suddenly revealed a smile:

"A phantom thief's assistant? That's much better than being in the organization, not to mention..."

At this point, Akemi Miyano paused slightly and took out a somewhat old-looking photograph from her small bag.

The photo is slightly yellowed, so it must have been taken many years ago. There are only two little girls in the photo, who look about five or six points alike, smiling sweetly.

"What's more, there's news about Shiho..."

Miyano Akemi muttered to herself, then stopped thinking about it, quickly packed up her things, and followed Chen Feng's instructions to walk towards the other bedroom next to the master bedroom.

……

Night slowly fell.

In the warehouse on the outskirts of Beika City where Miyano Akemi had previously hidden her money.

With a series of "click-click" sounds as the lock was pried open, the warehouse door lock was forcibly removed, and two men, one fat and one thin, dressed in black, walked in through the warehouse door.

"Brother, according to the locator we installed earlier, this should be the place."

"Ah."

Gin nodded and turned on the light in his hand. The bright white light instantly dispelled the darkness in front of him, revealing the empty warehouse.

Um... there are also some scraps covered in layers of dust.

"Let's split up and search," Gin said.

"yes, Sir."

Vodka nodded in agreement, then roughly kicked aside a wooden shelf that had been there for who knows how long, and walked inside.

Gin, also holding a flashlight, began searching the warehouse from the opposite direction.

However, after searching the warehouse twice, almost turning it upside down, the two still found nothing.

Only a clean, dust-free area was found, which looked like someone had walked there but deliberately cleaned it to avoid leaving footprints.

"This should be where Akemi Miyano hides her money, but that money..."

Gin frowned, deep in thought.

"Big brother, look here!"

Vodka's voice came from not far away, and Gin walked over upon hearing it.

On a dusty wall, there was a small black object, the locator they had left in their money bag.

There was also text written in Japanese on the wall:

Gin was here!

"Big brother, this..."

Before Vodka could finish speaking, Gin interrupted him with a raised hand.

Gin raised his head with a dark expression, his already cold eyes now filled with even more anger.

"Good! Good, good, good!"

Gin said "good" several times in a row.

"Brother, did that traitor Akemi Miyano discover the tracking device we left? So she moved the money to a different location?"

"will not."

Gin didn't hesitate at all: "If that woman had that ability, she wouldn't have remained an ordinary member of the organization for so many years."

"Who did that?" Vodka asked, puzzled.

There were only a few robbers involved in the bank robbery. Apart from Akemi Miyano, everyone else had been killed by them. If it wasn't Akemi Miyano who did it, then who else could it be?

Gin was silent for a moment, then narrowed his eyes: "There can't be anyone else, it could only be that damned thief!"

"A thief? He..."
