Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

Although all the bullets avoided vital organs, the six bullets still caused the driver excruciating pain, instantly rendering him unable to continue operating the crane to move the capture net.

In an instant, it seemed as if the whole world had fallen silent.

Officer Nakamori, who was initially excited about the imminent capture of Kid, was instantly stunned.

"Kidd... fired a shot?"

Officer Nakamori stared blankly at the figure in the sky that had already adjusted its posture, his face full of surprise.

Not only him, but even Chen Feng's fans were stunned, and the entire venue fell silent.

Sonoko jumped up immediately: "Kaito! How could Lord Kaito shoot! It's impossible!"

"Alright, Sonoko, Kid is a criminal after all. It's to be expected that he would pull the trigger when pushed to the limit," Ran comforted her from the side.

"No! I don't believe it!" Sonoko, looking utterly dejected after her idol's downfall, squatted to one side, grieving alone.

Conan, however, frowned upon seeing this. He keenly sensed that something was amiss, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Lupin in the sky had no time to worry about what was happening on the ground. Taking advantage of a moment when a crane lost its operator, he quickly adjusted his position, avoiding collisions with the capture net, and simultaneously shot out a rope, which he tied to the bridge in front of him.

"Wuhu! I'll be going now, everyone!"

Lupin's arrogant voice rang out again, but just then, another voice suddenly came from the bridgehead and spread throughout the area through the loudspeakers connected to the surrounding area.

"Impersonating another phantom thief to steal items doesn't seem like very polite behavior, does it?"

At the bridgehead, Chen Feng slowly raised his head, his face half-hidden under the silver moonlight beneath his white top hat, a slight smile playing on his lips as he looked at Lupin, who was rapidly approaching via rope.

"You're right, aren't you, Mr. Lupin..."

"Phantom Thief Kid..."

Lupin's face turned serious for the first time, and his gaze toward Chen Feng was full of fervor, as if he were looking at a long-awaited opponent.

"How... how come there are two Kids?"

One of the police officers spoke up, looking puzzled.

"Idiot!" Someone next to him slapped him on the head and yelled, "Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what that Phantom Thief Kid called the guy who fired the gun?"

"How... should I address you..."

The officer thought for a moment: "It's... Lupin! It's Lupin III! That internationally wanted criminal!"

Officer Nakamori had recovered from his shock, and the doubts in his heart were resolved.

He said, "How could Kidd fire a gun? It turns out it was a fake!"

Sonoko, who had been feeling down, was now fully revived and looked at Chen Feng with hopeful anticipation.

"I knew it! Lord Kidd is an absolute gentleman; he would never do something like firing a gun!"

"Um... then what you just did..."

"None of that matters now!"

Sonoko waved her hand dismissively, as if nothing had happened.

On the river.

Using the rope, Lupin landed steadily on the speedboat, and Chen Feng also jumped off the bridge and landed on the speedboat to meet Lupin face to face.

"Lupin III, I have long admired your name."

Chen Feng stood on the roof of the speedboat's cockpit, looking down at Lupin.

"Kaito Kid..."

Lupin reached out and removed his human skin mask, revealing his iconic face.

A woman's voice involuntarily echoed in my mind: "If you don't help me, I'll go to Phantom Thief Kid for help... I'll go to Phantom Thief Kid for help... I'll go to Phantom Thief Kid for help..."

"I've heard of you for a long time."

Lupin smiled and fearlessly looked up to meet Chen Feng's gaze.

Chapter 272 Rescuing Conan

"Unfortunately, I don't have much time to chat with you right now."

Lupin smiled and spoke, taking out a handkerchief, wrapping the stolen diamonds in it, and putting it in his pocket. He then looked at the area behind Chen Feng, seemingly observing something.

Chen Feng wasn't in a hurry to move; he just stood there quietly, staring at Lupin.

when!!--

A sudden metallic clanging sound rang out from behind Chen Feng.

Lupin's smile froze instantly, and he looked at Chen Feng with a face full of surprise.

Of course, even more surprised than him was Ishikawa Goemon, who was standing behind Chen Feng.

He held an unsheathed katana and slashed straight at Chen Feng's back. Chen Feng's back was blocked by a similarly unsheathed longsword. Throughout the entire process, Chen Feng did not even turn around.

Having missed his first attack, Ishikawa Goemon did not hesitate and decisively retreated to create distance from Chen Feng in order to prevent a counterattack. At the same time, his gaze towards Chen Feng became much more serious.

"A sneak attack from behind doesn't seem quite befitting of someone a master swordsman like you, Mr. Ishikawa."

Chen Feng turned his head to look in the direction of Ishikawa Goemon and spoke with a light laugh.

"You reacted very quickly."

Ishikawa Goemon spoke calmly.

He wasn't a talkative person to begin with. After saying that, he readjusted his posture, spread his legs wide, held his katana, and looked at Chen Feng with eyes full of fighting spirit.

Chen Feng was not afraid, after all, he had spent 1000 system points to upgrade his fighting skills to advanced level before coming here, so he was not afraid of Ishikawa Goemon, the sword master.

Both of them, with perfect understanding, did not draw their swords, but instead swung them forward with the scabbards still on.

Downward slashes, upward thrusts, horizontal sweeps, and left and right horizontal parries—without any fancy techniques, the two exchanged more than 20 moves in the blink of an eye.

The sound of scabbards clashing together was incessant, and the constantly flashing blades were dazzling to behold.

"This guy... actually has swordsmanship skills that are no less than Ishikawa's?"

Lupin stared in shock at the two intertwined figures on the roof, and murmured something.

Just as he was about to step forward and say something, his gaze suddenly swept across the river and a figure speeding across on a skateboard instantly caught Lupin's attention.

"This is……"

Lupin smirked and turned to enter the cabin.

Immediately afterwards, in Conan's eyes, the speedboat, which had been moving slowly, suddenly accelerated.

"hateful!"

Conan cursed under his breath, then quickly crouched down, pressed a button on his skateboard, and his speed increased again as he chased after the speedboat.

Seeing Conan relentlessly pursuing him, Lupin didn't hold back and opened the stern cabin, lowering down a series of red lanterns that glowed red.

boom!

Two seconds after it came into contact with the water, the red lantern exploded instantly, splashing up a large amount of water.

Conan's pupils contracted sharply, and he quickly adjusted his position, narrowly avoiding the blast wave.

Then came the second, the third, the fourth...

One by one, red lantern bombs exploded on the water's surface, but Conan dodged them all.

Just as the last bomb was dodged and the speedboat was getting closer and closer, Ishikawa Goemon, dressed in a kimono, suddenly leaped in front of him and then swung his sword fiercely.

Swish!

A flash of light appeared, and Conan only felt a blur before his eyes. Then, his glasses were instantly sliced ​​in two. But the blade didn't continue cutting; instead, it suddenly turned and looked down.

boom--

When the samurai sword came into contact with the skateboard, it shattered Professor Agasa's skateboard into pieces almost without any resistance.

"what--"

Conan's footing gave way, and his body swayed as he fell into the water.

It flailed its arms and legs rapidly, seemingly trying to float up from the water, but all its efforts failed.

The icy river water poured into his mouth and nose, choking him and making him want to cough but unable to.

Before long, Conan's consciousness began to blur.

I felt as if someone grabbed my collar and pulled me out of the water, and then I completely lost consciousness.

"She's already fainted?"

On the water, Chen Feng, piloting a hang glider, glided close to the river's surface, carrying Conan, who was already soaking wet and unconscious.

Looking at Conan, who seemed to have absolutely no intuition, Chen Feng shook his head inwardly.

"Really, as your 'elder,' I'll reluctantly take you back."

Chen Feng chuckled and said something, then suddenly pulled on his glider, his body rapidly rising and flying in one direction.

About half an hour later.

Inside the Kudo family villa.

After placing the unconscious Conan on the bed and covering him with a blanket, Yukiko breathed a sigh of relief once she was sure Conan was out of danger.

But then, a warm arm wrapped around her slender waist and held her tightly.

"How do you plan to thank me, Ms. Yukiko?"

"I……"

Feeling the person pressed close behind her, Yukiko blushed slightly.

"Thank you," Yukiko said softly.

But before she could finish speaking, a gloved finger blocked her red lips.

"We don't need to say that between us, understand?"
