Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

"Ah……"

Chen Feng remained calm, chuckled, and slowly stepped forward: "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment."

Upon hearing Emilio speak, the reporters quieted down slightly, but their intense gazes toward the two remained undiminished.

Chen Feng stepped forward and smiled at the crowd, saying, "Everyone, I can tell you definitively that the rumors about my disappearance are completely unfounded."

Wow!!!

The reporters present were all taken aback by this, but one of them, still unwilling to give up, asked:

"But Mr. Emilio, we have indeed lost track of you. Can you explain where you went during the time you were gone?"

"It seems this reporter friend is quite curious about my whereabouts."

Chen Feng spoke slowly and deliberately, and under the expectant gazes of the reporters present, he gently nudged Yukiko beside him.

Upon receiving the signal, Yukiko gave Chen Feng a resentful look before reluctantly stepping forward and forcing a smile to greet everyone.

"Hello everyone, I am Yukiko Fujimine. It's nice to meet you all."

Yukiko raised her hand and greeted the reporters with a light smile, as if the national goddess from back then had returned once again.

The reporters' attention was instantly diverted, and they began to focus their gaze on Yukiko: "Ms. Yukiko, are you planning to make a comeback?"

"Ms. Yukiko, may I ask why you are with Mr. Emilio?"

"I can answer this question for Ms. Yukiko."

Chen Feng spoke again, taking half a step forward to stand next to Yukiko, and smiled:

"I did not disappear before. The reason I suddenly left was to go to see Ms. Yukiko. In order to make this concert even more perfect, I specially invited Ms. Yukiko as a special guest to complete this concert together."

As Chen Feng finished speaking, Yukiko nodded slightly in agreement.

boom!!!

This bombshell news exploded in everyone's hearts like a giant bomb!

Many reporters were stunned and speechless.

Yukiko, who has been retired from the entertainment industry for many years... is going to appear as a special guest at Emilio's concert?

Breaking news! Absolutely breaking news!

The reporters became excited one by one.

At that moment, Luciano, who happened to be the concert organizer, also came out and heard the news, his brows furrowing immediately.

Inviting Yukiko, who has a huge following in Japan, as a special guest? This doesn't seem to have been part of the original plan, does it?

As a "special" businessman, he didn't care how well the concert was held or whether it was profitable. He only cared that the concert proceeded on time so that he could use it as a cover to conduct "special" transactions behind the scenes.

Seemingly noticing Luciano's displeasure, Emilio's assistant, Claudia, quickly stepped forward and spoke up:

"Emilio is also doing this to ensure the smooth running of the concert, and he believes that with Ms. Yukiko's popularity in Japan, more people's attention will be drawn to the stage, making our transaction easier."

"Um……"

Luciano thought for a moment, seemingly finding some merit in the idea, and slowly nodded, though his gaze towards the two "Emilyos" on the field still held a hint of coldness:

"Tell him to behave himself and stop doing these unnecessary things!"

"Okay, boss."

Claudia spoke respectfully, and only after Luciano turned to leave did she dare to look at Emilio with a worried gaze. Finally, she sighed softly and turned to leave.

Chapter 282: The Deal?

at the same time.

Inside Chen Feng's coffee shop.

Ai and Akemi sat at the front desk.

Mingmei raised her hand and glanced at the time on her watch. Seeing that it was getting late, she immediately prepared to close the shop.

But just then, a woman with a slender figure and big, wavy hair walked in from the store entrance.

"A latte costs 4000 yen, and a mocha costs 6000 yen. That's really not cheap..."

Looking at the price list displayed at the front desk, the woman smiled casually and spoke, then found a seat and said to Mingmei:

"I'd like a mocha, half sweet and half milk, please."

Upon hearing the woman's words, Ai only glanced up at her before looking away and returning to her book.

Akemi stepped forward apologetically and said:

"Um... I'm sorry, we're planning to close now. How about you come back tomorrow?"

"Close the door..."

The woman pouted her red lips, as if she had remembered something: "I'm friends with your boss, Mr. Chen. Could you make an exception for me?"

"friend?"

Mingmei was slightly taken aback. She seemed to have never heard Chen Feng mention having such a friend before.

However, thinking that it wasn't too much trouble, Akemi didn't ask any more questions. She simply said "Wait a moment" and got up to go to the kitchen to take out the coffee beans that had been put away, preparing to brew coffee.

Seeing Akemi get up and leave, the woman revealed a triumphant smile, glancing at Ai who was sitting quietly in her seat.

"kid."

"Ok?"

Ai looked up and met the woman's gaze.

"May I know your name?"

"..."

Ai remained silent for a moment, without answering.

The woman, feeling slighted, pouted and said, "He really is a quiet child."

Ai then said, "If you have nothing else to do, I'll be leaving now."

Without giving the woman a chance to speak, Ai jumped off the chair and turned to walk towards the back of the shop.

"and many more."

The woman spoke again, calling Ai's voice to a halt. Then, with a meaningful smile on her lips, she said:

"I have some news here that you might be interested in, something special... [kid]!"

Upon hearing the word "special," Ai instantly became alert, looking at the woman with a wary expression.

"Who are you!"

Ai spoke with a cold expression.

"Ah……"

The woman chuckled softly, slowly squatted down, whispered something in Ai's ear, then stood up and turned to walk outside.

The next second, Ai, who had just been on guard, frowned deeply, glanced back at the direction Akemi had left in, hesitated for a moment, and then turned around and chased after the woman in the direction she had left.

……

Night fell.

It was late at night in the hotel's underground parking garage.

Luciano, carrying a briefcase, was anxiously waiting for something in the underground parking garage with his group. He glanced around and kept looking at his watch, appearing very anxious.

"Boss, the person has arrived."

At this moment, someone nearby spoke up to remind them.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing the sound, Luciano looked up and saw a group of white men in black suits walking in with serious expressions from the entrance of the underground parking garage.

The leader had a cold and stern face, showing neither joy nor sorrow. He simply led the group behind him inside, and soon they arrived in front of Luciano.

If Chen Feng or Fujiko Mine were here, they would recognize at a glance that the man in the lead was the one who took the Cherry Sapphire earlier.

Did you bring the items?

The man parted his lips slightly and asked a question.

"Today doesn't seem to be the time we agreed on for the transaction, right? We originally agreed to make the transaction on the day of the concert. By asking us to meet up so early, you're putting us at a great risk!"

Luciano frowned and spoke.

The man ignored Luciano's complaints and simply repeated his earlier question: "Did you bring the things?"

"you!"

Ignored, Luciano was furious, but noticing the several men in black behind the man, their faces filled with murderous intent, and the sophisticated firearms in their hands, he swallowed his anger and said:

"You should know how important that thing is. I won't take it out until I see the full payment."

Upon hearing this, the man frowned immediately, and the men in black behind him instantly raised their guns, aiming them at Luciano and his companions.

The powerful, chilling aura made Luciano swallow hard.

Fortunately, the man only thought for a moment before pressing down the gun barrel of the person next to him and then said, "I can give you the full amount, but if I don't see anything behind me, you will die."

The man's tone was calm, but it carried an undeniable authority.

After saying this, the man waved his hand lightly, and the man in black beside him immediately understood, handing over the briefcase he was carrying to Luciano.

"Of course."

Luciano swallowed hard, quickly took the box from the man in black, and pressed the unlock buttons on both sides.

Click, click—

As two crisp sounds rang out, a box full of 10000 yen bills instantly caught Luciano's eye, making him unable to look away.

This was undoubtedly the biggest business deal he had ever made. So much money, more than enough for him to live a carefree life! No! It should be said, even his son! And even his grandson couldn't spend it all!
