Model worker and his little darling

"It's just an ordinary photo, why are you so agitated, Phantom Thief Kid!"

After a pause, Spider continued, "If your true identity is exposed... um? Kuroba Toichi's son, Kuroba Kaito!"

Spider's ambiguous smile and icy tone made Kaito Kuroba's face turn extremely ugly, and he clenched his fists.

It seems that his past has been thoroughly investigated by that group. He's truly blessed to have survived until now.

After observing Kaito Kuroba's unpleasant expression, Spider took two steps forward, his tone filled with reminiscence.

"Eight years ago, also in England, on a night like this, your father, Kuroba Toichi, attempted to steal the jewel we had our eye on, refusing to give up despite our warnings. Unfortunately, we had no choice but to make him disappear. This time, it's your turn... Kuroba Kaito!"

Upon hearing this, anger surged through Kaito Kuroba's mind, and he stared intently at Spider, his father...

Damn!

The next second, Kaito Kuroba pointed his gun at the man opposite him.

"Bang—bang—bang"

Seeing that Spider was unharmed, Kaito Kuroba took a deep breath to clear his mind. He remembered that Hirai had said that his father was still alive.

Thinking this, she glanced at Pingqing.

When he came to his senses, he realized that Spider had been staring at him the whole time. A chill ran down Kaito Kuroba's spine, as if he were being entangled by a venomous snake.

"I doubt anyone would guess that the famous Phantom Thief Kid is just a 17-year-old high school student, especially Inspector Nakamori, who's been chasing you all along. If I remember correctly, his daughter is your childhood friend. If they knew your family's true identities... hmm?"

"Tell me, what kind of impact would it have if your family's true identities appeared on tomorrow's morning news? Would you ever be able to show your face in public again?"

"You haven't seen your mother in a long time, have you? I recently discovered traces of her..."

As each hurtful word reached his ears, Kaito Kuroba calmed down.

Spider was acting really strange tonight. In the past, he would have attacked directly, but tonight he kept saying these things to provoke me.

"After saying all this, what exactly do you want to do? With your capabilities, you could have easily revealed my identity once you found out. I have no power to resist at all."

Upon hearing this, Spider, who had been observing Kaito Kuroba, narrowed his eyes. This reaction...

"Well, games are more fun when you play them slowly."

"An organization that can use magic, and Pandora that can make people live forever—I think these kinds of stories will attract more public attention than a little Phantom Thief Kid."

Hearing this, Spider smirked. A high school student is still too young; he doesn't understand the darkness of this world.

Their organization has existed for so many years, and quite a few people know about them. Those who are after immortality don't want more and more people to know about it.

"Do you have a way to let everyone know about this? Or are you planning to approach Yu Lu, who's just like me and has the same goal? Do you think he'll help you?"

Kaito Kuroba snorted softly; he knew Taira no Kiyoshi's purpose, of course. Although Taira no Kiyoshi hadn't explicitly stated it, he hadn't hidden it either. Knowing about Spider and the Zoo, and having stolen the jewel, it was clear he also wanted the Pandora's Stone, the one that could grant immortality.

If it weren't for Hirakiyo, he would have already died at Spider's hands. He couldn't fight off the pursuit from the zoo, and even though he knew Hirakiyo wasn't a good person, sticking with Hirakiyo could ensure the safety of Grandpa Terai and Aoko.

Does he have a better option?

"Kaitou Kidd!"

Then, he saw Spider walking towards him step by step.

"Boom-boom-boom"

Every step felt like it was stepping on my heart; it was painful, and I felt like I couldn't breathe.

"Kaito Kid, what secrets do you hold?"

secret?

Isn't his only identity Phantom Thief Kid? That identity has already been figured out long ago.

I felt a pain in my neck, and then I touched the thin thread wrapped around my neck.

Realizing Spider's methods, Kaito Kuroba realized that he had already entered the illusion.

A blade appeared at the fingertip and swiftly severed the thin thread.

"Cough cough cough..."

Pain allows one to see through illusions.

Spider watched Kaito Kuroba with great interest, the bloodstain on his neck particularly noticeable.

Suddenly, Kaito Kuroba threw a small knife at Spider and then quickly retreated.

He saw that Pingqing was being held back, and he could only rely on himself. The difference in their strength was too great; the most important thing now was to get out of this hellish place.

Spider only discovered the hidden silver needle after knocking the knife away; it grazed his cheek, leaving a noticeable bloodstain.

"Heh~ Come on, let me see what you're capable of."

Spider's expression gradually darkened as he watched Kaito Kid's retreating figure disappear quickly.

At first, he tried to take action against Kaito Kid, but his plans were thwarted by Mishikazu. It wasn't until he discovered Kaito Kid's true identity and prepared to strike secretly that he found something protecting him.

You may get hurt, but you won't lose your life.

Most importantly, judging from Kaito Kid's appearance, he himself is unaware of the situation.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation, and at first he thought it was some kind of magic he didn't understand. But after several experiments, it seemed that it wasn't what he thought.

Importantly, he suspected that Ooshika also knew this. That's why he protected Kaito Kid and wanted to uncover his secrets.

If it won't harm their lives, then what's the difference between that and their pursuit of immortality?

Spider glanced back at Ping Qing, who was surrounded, and narrowed his eyes. He was also a very mysterious person, but unfortunately, he had no way of knowing what was hidden behind him.

And then there's that little brat by Yu Lu's side, who always seems to coincidentally encounter all sorts of outrageous murder cases.

There aren't that many coincidences in this world.

Perhaps he could do what Yu Lu did and create an identity to make contact.

Heh, things are getting more and more interesting.

Spider gave Heikiri a deep look, then turned and followed Kaito Kuroba, hoping this operation would get him what he wanted.
