Chapter 124 - Chapter 124: The Sword of King Goujian!

This time, many online users got involved, keeping the topic trending with high attention.

Since Kaitō Kid's debut, he had made a move every day, always posting a new notice letter.

But today, Kaitō Kid's update was simply "Let the bullet fly for a while," saying he wouldn't make his move until tomorrow.

All over the world, countless people were curious about Kaitō Kid's target, wondering why he needed an entire day to prepare!

[Fuck! These so-called experts are just out here for laughs. Does Kaitō Kid really need a whole day to prepare for a tiny museum in Eagle Nation?]

[Exactly! Museums in Britain are pretty much the same, so Eagle Nation's shouldn't be much different!]

[Oh my god! I just saw an expert claim Kaitō Kid is stalling to find a chance to escape Eagle Nation!]

[Hahaha, he clearly doesn't know Kaitō Kid at all!]

[These media experts are just making random guesses to generate buzz, they have no clue what's going on!]

Even though everyone knew the experts' guesses were wrong, their curiosity kept them engaged, hoping to catch a glimpse of any clue.

After Zhang Yang posted the new update, media programs didn't stop. They continued to discuss the matter throughout the night news broadcasts.

[Help, it's almost the second day! Will Kaitō Kid post a new notice letter at midnight? I won't be able to sleep otherwise!]

[Guys, just go to sleep. They're just jumping on the hype, they won't figure anything out!]

[Shit! Fine, I'll just go to sleep and hope I can wake up to Kaitō Kid's notice letter tomorrow!]

[Oh my god! Hope Kaitō Kid doesn't disappoint! It better be an explosive update!]

[I trust Kaitō Kid, tomorrow's update will definitely be epic!]

The escort ship would depart at 12:00 PM and would gather at the coastline at 8:00 AM.

So Zhang Yang woke up early. Around 7:00 AM, just before leaving, he posted a photo of the new notice letter on his social media.

"As you wished, it's explosive enough!"

With a proud smile, Zhang Yang left the hotel.

The contents of the notice letter were simple. It started by greeting Bruce, then stated the purpose of the mission.

"Officer Bruce, I hope there's still room on the escort ship. Also, I'll be taking the Sword of King Goujian. Good luck to you!"

After this update was posted, the curiosity of the online users was fully satisfied.

Bruce, the escort ship, and the details in the notice letter—each point was more explosive than the last.

[What the hell? Kaitō Kid is getting on the escort ship with Bruce? Am I still asleep?]

[An escort ship? What's Kaitō Kid playing at? Is he serious?]

[Oh my god! Just two nights ago, people were worried Bruce might catch Kaitō Kid, and now Kaitō Kid announces he's boarding the escort ship with Bruce!]

[What's Kaitō Kid planning on the escort ship? Is he going to steal a cannon or something?]

[Oh shit! I must be so tired. Am I still asleep? Is this just a dream?]

Kaitō Kid's new notice letter caused a huge stir. The idea of him boarding the escort ship with Bruce raised a flood of doubts and questions.

At this moment, Zhang Yang didn't have time to check the comments. Instead, he left the hotel and headed toward the coastline.

News media worldwide were the first to track and report on this. None of the so-called experts from yesterday's media programs had guessed correctly.

No one had even considered that Kaitō Kid might be targeting the escort ship!

[Kaitō Kid really doesn't disappoint! He's going straight for the escort ship! But why is the Sword of King Goujian on the escort ship?]

[What? The escort ship of Eagle Nation? What the hell is Kaitō Kid doing?]

[Eagle Nation is sending the Sword of King Goujian where?]

[Shit! Smuggling the Sword of King Goujian on an escort ship? What's Eagle Nation trying to do? That's our Dragon Nation's artifact!]

[Don't even mention those so-called experts invited by the media, even Einstein wouldn't have guessed it right!]

By yesterday afternoon, Bruce had already suspected what Kaitō Kid's move for today would be.

But Bruce, like the others, didn't think Kaitō Kid would be crazy enough to target the escort ship.

Now that the notice letter was released, Bruce was both shocked and furious.

"Fuck! Kaitō Kid, that lunatic!"

"This mission is being escorted by the military ship, and he dares to steal from it!"

"How does he know about the secret operation on the escort ship?"

This was a serious matter, and Bruce immediately reported it upwards, asking if the escort plan should be changed or the timing adjusted.

Kaitō Kid had already made headlines all over the world today, and Bruce wasn't foolish—if Kaitō Kid didn't have something real going on, he wouldn't have been able to pull off such a stunt.

Bruce wasn't like the people from the Island Nation, who were so ridiculously confident. He didn't want any accidents during this escort mission.

However, his superiors insisted on proceeding with the original plan, without any changes.

"Kaitō Kid has sent the notice letter. Now the whole world is watching!"

"If we change the plan now, it'll be like admitting we're afraid of Kaitō Kid!"

"Bruce, you're the strongest agent in the FBI. Your superiors trust your abilities!"

With those words thrown at him, Bruce didn't have much to say.

It was clear what his superiors meant—they wanted to maintain Eagle Nation's authority.

If a single notice letter from Kaitō Kid could force Eagle Nation's military ship to change its plan, where would their dignity be?

But what Bruce didn't expect was that his superiors had also agreed to let reporters from Global Weekly board the ship, tracking and broadcasting the situation on the escort ship live.

That was what really worried Bruce.

Knowing Kaitō Kid's style, once he sent out the notice letter, he would definitely show up.

But Bruce wasn't fully confident he could catch him!

"Fuck! A bunch of lunatics!"

"This mission has to succeed. Failure is not an option!"

By the time the reporters and media had arrived at the coast, it was clear that anything related to Kaitō Kid was breaking news. No one was going to miss the chance to capture the top story.

Bruce's face hardened. He got out of the SUV, stood in front of the coastline, and called for the team to assemble and prepare to board the ship.

At that point, Zhang Yang had already been waiting at the assembly point for some time. There were about sixty people on the escort ship, and Zhang Yang, in his role as a logistical chef, was standing at the back of the line.

Bruce stood at the front of the line, first organizing a headcount, then starting his speech.

"This escort mission is to ensure the safe delivery of the cargo ship to Britain. Additionally, the infamous super thief, Kaitō Kid, has publicly announced that he will be appearing on the escort ship!"

"So everyone needs to be on high alert. No matter what Kaitō Kid plans to do, we absolutely cannot let him succeed!"

"If he dares to show up, we must capture him. Understood?"

With that, they began boarding the ship, lining up in two orderly rows for identity verification as they boarded the escort ship.

Their verification system wasn't overly complicated—just ID cards and facial recognition.
