Conan and Gin are both my brothers, what's wrong with meeting them once?

Once everyone had arrived, Shiro Suzuki ordered the banquet to begin.

As the servants cleared away the tea and drinks and brought out the dishes, Shiro Suzuki, once again on behalf of the Suzuki family, formally expressed his gratitude to the three.

“I’ve said it before, President Suzuki, you don’t need to be so polite,” Kudo Kazuma said with a smile. “Sonoko is our good friend, and we will save her even if she encounters other dangers.”

"Besides... we were just trying to save ourselves on the plane, so we shouldn't thank Chairman Suzuki again and again. If you keep being so formal, we two juniors will be nervous to death."

Upon hearing this, Suzuki Shiro's gentle smile faltered...

Since this kid arrived at this villa, has he ever shown any signs of "nervousness"?

You can just spout off like that.

He had long heard from his daughter that the young president, Kazuma Edogawa, was completely different in his demeanor in front of acquaintances from his public persona as president. He was not only lazy, but also had a peculiar way of thinking, liked to talk nonsense, and often spoke in a way that could infuriate people.

He thought this was just Sonoko exaggerating when the young people were getting along, but who knew that in such a formal setting, this kid really didn't hide himself at all.

However, he didn't feel offended.

Looking at it from another angle, at least because of Sonoko, President Edogawa didn't treat the Suzuki family as strangers, which is pretty good, isn't it?

Just as Suzuki Shiro was helplessly tolerating this junior, Suzuki Jirokichi had already spoken up in a carefree manner: "You brat! And Conan, you little devil, what are you nervous about? You brat, you're really good at talking nonsense!"

"Of course, nonsense is nonsense. Whatever the reason, you saved Sonoko, and that's an undeniable fact. I think verbal thanks are meaningless, so why don't you tell me what you want?"

Jirokichi Suzuki waved his hand and said, "Conan, you little brat, just tell me what kind of gift you want, and I'll get it for you."

“Yizhen, you can make any requests you have. Even if it's asking me to help your company invest or facilitate some kind of cooperation, that's no problem!”

"As for... um..." Suzuki Jirokichi hesitated for a moment, looking at Kaito Kid sitting down next to Kudo Kazuma and Conan. He used to dislike Kaito Kid the most, but this time it was Kid who saved his precious niece...

Suzuki Jirokichi coughed lightly, forcing himself to appear more conciliatory: "Which gem do you want? You don't need to steal it. Just tell me, and I'll give it to you, no matter which one it is!"

Kudo Kazuma silently gave Suzuki Jirokichi another thumbs up.

The Suzuki family, with their deep pockets, are truly different. They say they'll give you anything you want, any request you can make, and they'll send you anything you ask for.

This old man is truly generous!

However, upon closer reflection, Sonoko's older sister, Suzuki Ayako, is going to marry into the Tomizawa family, which is not much different from theirs. Given the current situation of the Tomizawa family, the person in charge is basically Suzuki Ayako's fiancé, Tomizawa Yuzo. So it seems that Sonoko is the natural heir to the Suzuki family.

Their actions effectively saved the heir of the Suzuki family, which explains why Suzuki Jirokichi was so generous.

After hearing Suzuki Jirokichi's bold remarks, all three fell silent.

The first to speak was Kaito Kid.

He chuckled and said, "I'm here today simply to keep my appointment. I don't need any jewels or anything like that."

"If you really want to express your gratitude on behalf of Sonoko Suzuki, I will naturally come and take it when the Suzuki family comes across a gem that emits a red glow under the moonlight."

Under Jirokichi Suzuki's somewhat puzzled gaze, Conan spoke up: "What I want isn't hard to get... Could Uncle Jirokichi give me a set of World Cup tickets next time?"

This request was far more specific than Kidd's ambiguous statement, and it was also far too simplistic for the Suzuki family.

Jirokichi Suzuki immediately laughed and said, "Of course, no problem! I'll give you a full set of first-class tickets! And what about you, Kazuma? What do you want?"

Kudo Kazuma tilted his head, blinked, and said, "Since Uncle Jirokichi asked, I won't stand on ceremony."

“I have an idea for developing a new type of mobile phone. Our company has already developed a complete plan and preliminary research and development. If Uncle Jirokichi doesn’t mind, I can have someone send over the preliminary plan. If you take a look and think it’s okay, we can collaborate on the development. What do you say?”

Suzuki Jirokichi laughed: "You brat, I asked you what you want, not for you to bring me money!"

"Since your company can conduct independent research and development, why bother dragging me into this?"

Kazuma Kudo shrugged: "Because I'm lazy, I asked you to come and help me."

This is not simply giving money to Jirokichi Suzuki.

Collaborative research and development would also be very beneficial for him.

After all, the Suzuki family has no shortage of top-notch R&D talent or various connections. They provide ideas and preliminary plans, and although the Suzuki family will also benefit a lot, the bulk of the profits will ultimately come from them.

Developing a smartphone by leveraging the Suzuki family's influence is much easier than having him and Hara Yoshiaki build a team from scratch, struggling with the absurd, fluctuating technological developments in the Detective Conan world.

If Kudo Kazuma could think of this, then Suzuki Jirokichi, that old fox, certainly couldn't have missed it.

Upon hearing Kudo Kazuma's reason, he immediately burst into laughter: "Alright! Then I'll lend you a hand! Whenever you're free, just bring someone to deliver the proposal to my home. I'll be waiting for you!"

Upon hearing this, Kidd couldn't help but glance at the old man and the young man again.

In just a few words, these two people finalized a business deal?

Given the sensation Bond caused when he was released, his cousin, with his quirky imagination, will probably come up with some pretty good new phone ideas too.

A new mobile phone can't possibly earn less than Bond, a new social networking app, right?

Did they finish their conversation in just a couple of sentences?

As for Conan, he was currently cursing the organization and Gin in his heart.

[That despicable organization! That despicable Gin!]

If it weren't for Gin turning him into this elementary school student, he could do what he likes. Why does he have to pretend to be a child here?

Speaking of Gin...

Judging from what Haibara said last time, the research and upgrade of the third version of the antidote has only just begun, while the second version of the antidote can be made very quickly.

Haibara clearly didn't want to give it to him, so what reasonable excuse could he come up with to ask for an antidote?

Moreover, this excuse must be one that doesn't make Ichima realize there's a problem.

This is so worrying...
