Thief Game: Starting with Obtaining the Kidd Card

“I didn’t set the price; he did.”

"Chen Feng made the decision?" Anna asked, puzzled.

In theory, the prices of precious metals and jewelry are almost uniform internationally. Unless there is a major unforeseen event, even if there are changes, they are unlikely to fluctuate significantly.

But Chen Feng has now lowered the price by 10%...

"Yes, he only had one request for that."

Ivan nodded and said seriously, "All funds must be in place within 24 hours. If there aren't enough funds, he will only accept one substitute."

"what?"

"Shares in several designated companies!"

……

Night falls.

Chen Feng, dressed in a formal suit, had already arrived at Anna's villa.

Led by Anna's housekeeper, they walked into the manor.

It must be said that although Ivan is not young and comes from an arms dealer background, his birthday party was not rude at all.

The tables on both sides were covered with flat red tablecloths, on which were placed exquisite desserts. Tall, formally dressed male and female waiters carried trays of fine wines and moved back and forth on both sides. The champagne tower at the front had just been filled with wine, and people chatted casually to the accompaniment of soothing background music.

Anna was already waiting not far away, accompanied by three other girls dressed in equally exquisite gowns. However, the standardized smiles on their faces made one unconsciously think of the term "plastic friends."

Upon seeing Chen Feng approach, Anna stopped chatting with the others, her smile becoming more genuine. She gracefully stepped forward and naturally took Chen Feng's arm.

"I'm not late, am I?" Chen Feng smiled as he answered the stares that were directed at him.

These gazes contained surprise, incomprehension, and even jealousy; they seemed quite surprised that Anna, the apple of Ivan's eye as the head of the Pombolov family, would take the initiative to step forward and hold a man's arm.

"Of course not. As long as you come, it's not considered late, no matter when."

Anna, completely disregarding the gazes of those around her, glanced at Chen Feng's face and spoke softly.

Chen Feng turned his head, exchanged a glance with Anna, and smiled at her.

"Oh, Anna, where did you meet this handsome young man from the East? Aren't you going to introduce him to us?"

The girls who had been chatting with Anna earlier came up. The one in the lead had wavy hair, light makeup, and a stunning figure. She wore a low-cut, waist-cinching dress that showed off her beautiful figure and attracted a lot of attention. Of course, what caught the eye of most people was her exposed fair skin.

However, she didn't seem to care about it. On the contrary, she liked the feeling of being the center of attention, and for this reason, she would consciously or unconsciously stretch out her proud figure.

To her disappointment, the person accompanying Anna seemed uninterested in her little actions, and even the expression on his face didn't change much.

Upon hearing the sound, Anna subconsciously frowned, but quickly masked it and smiled as she spoke:

"Let me introduce you. This is Monica, from Bologna. She's older than me, so you could say she's my sister. And these two are Carly and Elise."

"Hello, handsome young man."

Monica casually extended her hand to shake hands with Chen Feng, then turned to look at Anna, feigning displeasure as she spoke:

"Anna, my dear sister, you must remember, never, especially never, mention a woman's age in front of a handsome man. If you absolutely must, then believe that she is forever twenty!"

Anna simply responded with a polite yet helpless smile.

"Hey? Why do I feel like this handsome young man looks a bit like KID?" Elise, who had been observing Chen Feng from behind without saying a word, suddenly spoke up.

"I think so too."

Elise's words immediately resonated with Carly beside her, whose gaze was even more unrestrained than Elise's. Although it was somewhat impolite, she did so out of curiosity.

"I think I just vaguely saw KID walking towards us. This... is too similar, isn't it?"

Carly's tone was tinged with doubt. If Anna hadn't been standing there, she would have wanted to go up and pinch Chen Feng's face to see if it was real or not.

Chen Feng maintained a smile throughout the conversation.

It's no wonder people noticed, because he wasn't using a fake face at all today; he had only slightly covered his real face.

As for Anna's father, Ivan...

He probably already knew, since the contract between the two of them still used Chen Feng's real name.

"Hello, my name is Yassen, I am a Chinese American, and I would consider myself an amateur detective."

Chen Feng chuckled and took the initiative to speak.

"Amateur detective?"

Elise and Carly, who were on the other side, were slightly taken aback.

Detectives and phantom thieves are natural rivals. If this were a movie, the person acting opposite KID might just be Arsen in front of us.

With that in mind, the two of them tacitly refrained from bringing up the topic again.

Monica, standing beside her, seemed to have anticipated this, and with a casual smile, she spoke as if unintentionally:

"Alright, I have to say, you two are really a bit obsessed, aren't you? You see everyone as KID. Oh, by the way, when I was traveling in China last month, I found a pre-operation notice card for KID at an auction. It seems to be the one he used for his... third operation. If you're interested, you can come and take a look at it."

As expected, her words immediately reignited the great interest of the two who had previously fallen silent:

"Really? It was written by KID himself?"

"My God! Where did you buy it? How much did it cost?"

"I'm going to Bologna in a few days, and I'll be there!"

Hearing their voices, Monica maintained a polite smile, but the smugness in her eyes was genuine.

"It didn't cost that much, maybe a little over two hundred thousand US dollars. It was just that a Chinese woman was bidding against me at the time, otherwise I could have saved tens of thousands of US dollars!"

"Over two hundred thousand US dollars?!"

Elise covered her mouth in surprise, but then nodded after thinking for a moment: "If it really is handwritten by KID, then it is worth the price."

Carly, who was standing to the side, nodded in agreement.

Monica then looked at Anna next to Chen Feng:

"Anna, you too! I remember you really like KID, right? You can come visit me sometime."

Hearing this, Anna glanced at Chen Feng beside her with a smile before nodding politely:

"If I have time, I will definitely go."

……

Chapter 455 Anna's Request

Seemingly noticing the strangeness in Anna's expression, Monica looked puzzled. Just as she was about to ask a question, she heard several voices.

"Mr. Ivan has arrived."

"Stop the music for a moment."

“Mr. Ivan, do you remember me? I’m Murakami from the Japan Marine Research Group. We’ve worked together before.”

The crowd not far away was slightly chaotic, and everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it. Monica had no choice but to suppress her questions and not ask them.

"Looks like you're still very popular with the girls." Anna said to Chen Feng in a low voice as the others looked away.

Chen Feng gave her a helpless smile and said nothing.

The soothing background music was turned off, and Ivan's voice, the protagonist of this birthday party, slowly entered everyone's ears.

"Everyone, thank you so much for coming to my birthday party. I'm very happy today, both for business and for personal reasons..."

Ivan launched into a long, animated speech, and as he himself said, he was very happy today, which was evident in his speech, even though most people in the audience were not particularly interested in his opening remarks.

"Did you come here suddenly because of Amya?"

Anna, who was clinging to Chen Feng's arm, suddenly spoke up from the crowd.

"Ok?"

Anna's voice startled Chen Feng slightly: "Why do you say that?"

Seeing that Chen Feng did not deny it, Anna's expression darkened slightly, but she quickly recovered and said:

"Judging from the fact that you went straight to my father to discuss business as soon as you arrived here, it is obvious that you did not come here specifically to see me. Moreover, I have also seen your contract. The amount is so large that even if my father puts out all the cash flow of the group, it would not be enough. Only by joining forces with several other large multinational groups can we take it over."

“Aside from Amya’s side, I can’t think of anywhere else that would require you to come up with so much money at once, not to mention… there are also the phantom shares in several companies you specified.”

Chen Feng remained silent.

But he could feel the proud girl's fingers trembling slightly, so Chen Feng had no choice but to put his hand on hers and hold it to soothe her.

Anna ignored Chen Feng's actions, instead raising her head to look directly into his eyes, a smile playing on her alluring red lips, and said:

"Actually, I guessed it a long time ago, but I just didn't want to admit it. I just want to ask you, if we switched places and I was the one who needed help, would you help me the same way you helped Amya?"

Chen Feng silently gazed at the beautiful woman before him, holding her hand tightly in one hand. Their eyes met, and he said earnestly:

"meeting."

Upon hearing this answer, Anna's smile suddenly became genuine.

Amidst the envious gazes of those around her, she leaned forward and tiptoed to give Chen Feng a quick kiss on the lips.

"That's enough. As for this time... let's say Amya wins, but I haven't lost yet, have I?"

Anna's smile held a hint of relief.

Ivan's voice gradually faded away until it ended.

The soothing music started playing again, and the crowd returned to its lively and noisy state.

The dance floor in the middle was even more lively, with Ivan, the protagonist of this birthday party, smiling broadly as he danced gracefully with a beautiful woman of Germanic descent in the center.

If you disregard his muscular build and tall stature, his dance moves are actually quite well-timed.

As Ivan entered, many guests put down their glasses and brought their dance partners to the center of the dance floor. The polished men's leather shoes and women's high heels mingled on the floor, creating a man-made picture.

Of course, there were also many people who came alone, looking around and preparing to find a suitable target before the next song began.

Anna naturally became the focus of attention, and it's safe to say that if her hand hadn't been on a man's arm, many people would have already come up to invite her.

Anna ignored them, only glancing sideways with a smile playing on her lips, the meaning of which was self-evident.

Chen Feng understood, a smile appearing on his face. He took his hand out of his pocket, placed one hand behind his back, took a half step back, bowed slightly, and calmly extended his right hand.
