Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

"Ah."

Ai nodded, without saying anything more.

……

Night slowly descended.

In an inconspicuous underground warehouse on the outskirts of Mika City.

Lupin, looking quite content, was lounging in a deckchair with his legs crossed, exuding a relaxed and carefree air.

Buzz~~

The roar of a car engine echoed from the warehouse entrance, growing louder as it approached, before slowly coming to a stop in front of the "Lupin" recliner.

squeak-

With a screech of brakes, the black car came to a steady stop in front of "Lupin".

As the car door slowly opened, two men in black armed with guns stepped out of the car, followed by a woman.

The woman was dressed in a light gold strapless dress, with a head of long, wavy hair and a hot figure. The only flaw was the extremely unsightly necklace she wore around her snow-white neck.

Fujiko Mine!

The identity of the visitor was obvious.

"Lupin!"

As soon as they met, Fujiko Mine rushed over anxiously.

"You've finally arrived!"

Fujiko Mine put her hands on her hips and called out.

The window of the black car slowly rolled down, revealing the indifferent face of a European man.

“Mr. Lupin, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

The man glanced in Lupin's direction and spoke calmly.

“Using such methods to deal with a beautiful lady is hardly gentlemanly behavior.”

"Lupin" pointed to the bomb collar around Fujiko Mine's neck and spoke sarcastically.

Upon hearing the address from the person in front of him, Fujiko Mine's expression shifted slightly, but he said nothing.

The European man seemed completely unfazed: "To deal with the internationally renowned thieves, Fujiko Mine and Mr. Lupin III, I have to resort to some special methods."

Chapter 278 Betrayal is a woman's adornment

"Alright, enough with the nonsense, just hand over the cherry sapphire," the man said coldly.

"Since you're in such a hurry, then fine."

Lupin reached his hand inside his coat.

The group of men in black present immediately tensed up, raising their guns and aiming them at Lupin.

"Hey, hey, don't be so nervous! You have to give me a chance to take out the gem, right?"

Lupin showed no sign of tension at being pointed at with a gun, and with a light laugh, he took out a delicate little box from inside his coat.

Just as he was about to throw it over, the man in the car spoke again: "I only want the gem, not the box. Take the gem out of the box and give it to Miss Fujiko Mine so she can hand it to me."

"Tsk."

Lupin clicked his tongue lightly: "They're really cautious, but I don't intend to do anything underhanded."

As he spoke, Lupin opened the box, took out a delicate light blue gem, and placed it in Fujiko Mine's hand.

Just as Fujiko Mine, having obtained the gem, was about to turn around, she was called back again.

"and many more."

"Ok?"

The man frowned slightly, and the several men in black around him also stared intently at Lupin, their hands on the triggers, as if they would fire immediately if Lupin made the slightest move.

Fortunately, Lupin simply walked slowly up to Fujiko Mine, pinched the bomb collar around her neck, and looked at it.

"This is really nice, could you give me a few?"

“If Mr. Lupin is interested, I can send you one later.”

The man stared intently in the direction of "Lupin," watching his every move.

However, Lupin seemed to be simply interested in the object and did not make any unusual moves. After looking at it for a few seconds, he let go of it.

Fujiko Mine slowly walked away with the gem in her hand, a smile playing on her red lips. She waved the gem at Lupin and said, "Thank you for your help, Lupin."

"It seems you really are in cahoots with this group, Fujiko."

Lupin spoke as if he were not at all surprised.

Fujiko Mine showed no remorse whatsoever, and laughed freely: "Betrayal is a woman's adornment. Be careful next time, Lupin."

Fujiko Mine slowly approached the man with the gem in her hand, and the man reached out to take it.

Just then, Fujiko Mine suddenly flipped her hand, the gem in her hand was instantly put away, and in its place was a delicate small women's pistol, pointed directly at the man's forehead.

"Don't move!"

Upon seeing that their boss had been taken hostage, the men in black immediately turned their guns on Fujiko Mine.

However, before they could say anything, they were stopped by Fujiko Mine.

"If you don't want to see your boss's head blown out, put your guns down."

Upon hearing this, the men in black exchanged glances but made no move.

Upon seeing this, Fujiko Mine immediately turned her gaze to the man inside the car:

"Looks like you're not a very good boss. Your subordinates don't care about your life."

"Ms. Fujiko Mine".

The man showed no sign of panic, simply looking at Fujiko Mine with a cold expression:

"You seem to have misunderstood something. Betrayal is never exclusive to women. Haven't you ever wondered why your collar bomb looks so realistic?"

It's very simple, because it's real. If your gun goes off, unfortunately, you'll likely be beheaded within ten minutes if you can't get rid of the collar.

"Ok?"

Fujiko Mine seemed genuinely taken aback by those words, glancing back with her eyes.

The man then noticed that Lupin, who had been standing quietly behind him, suddenly raised his hand. Only then did he realize that Lupin now had an extremely thin thread in his hand.

The other end of the thin line was connected to the bomb collar around Fujiko Mine's neck!

"you--"

The man raised his hand, about to say something, but before he could utter a word, Lupin suddenly tugged at the thin thread, and the tampered collar instantly slipped off Fujiko Mine's neck and flew backward.

boom! ! ! !

The collar exploded in mid-air, but because it had already flown a considerable distance, it did not injure anyone.

"And now, sir?"

Hearing the explosion, Fujiko Mine didn't even turn her head, but instead held up her pistol and looked at the man mockingly.

The man had lost his composure; his face darkened, becoming somewhat frightening.

"I didn't realize Mr. Lupin knew how to defuse bombs."

The man spoke with a gloomy face.

Lupin waved his hand dismissively: "I don't have much experience defusing bombs, but I can definitely remove the lock on the collar."

"Aren't you going to tell your men to put down their guns?" Fujiko Mine pushed the pistol forward, pressing it firmly against the man's forehead.

Although the man's face was grim, he showed no fear whatsoever.

"They won't put down their guns. You can choose to kill me, but they will open fire as well. As long as you kill both of them, the gem will still be ours."

Our only goal is to get the gem! We're willing to risk our lives!

The man's eyes were resolute, and the group of men in black showed no sign of backing down, their guns held steadily in their hands as if confirming the man's words.

"madman!"

Mine Fujiko cursed under her breath. She didn't want to fight to the death with these desperate thugs who were after jewels, but she didn't know what to do for the moment, so she could only continue to hold the pistol to the man's forehead.

The situation remained deadlocked for a moment.

"Fujiko, I advise you to give them the jewels. I don't want to stay here and fight them with you."

Lupin lay on the recliner and spoke casually.

"Humph!"

Fujiko Mine gave an angry snort, then threw the gemstone at the man.

The man quickly reached out and took it, giving "Lupin" a grateful look: "Thank you, let's go!"

"Yes."

Without uttering any further words, the man in black quickly put away his gun and got back into the car.

With the roar of the car engine, the black seven-seater slowly started and drove away, disappearing from the two people's sight in no time.

"What kind of people are these? They even lied to an honest woman like me."

Fujiko Mine put away her pistol and said angrily.

"They are just a group of pitiful people who want to save their country from the flames of war."

"Lupin" spoke softly.

"Hey?"

Fujiko Mine looked at Lupin with some surprise: "You know them?"
