Chapter 107: Kaitō Kid Tops World Headlines!

Although the theory was sound, in practice, Itō Chūji nearly ended up dead on the spot.

The crowd quickly gathered around, forming a ring around Itō Chūji.

"Nani? It's Itō Chūji? What is he trying to do?"

"Baka, he must have been trying to imitate Kaitō Kid, but unfortunately, he failed!"

"Call an ambulance, he looks like he's about to die!"

"Damn it, once again, Kaitō Kid got away!"

As Shōda Kazuo passed by the hallway, he noticed the crowd gathered downstairs. He immediately went downstairs to check.

When he arrived, he realized it was Itō Chūji. The black glider he had been using was in tatters, resembling torn-up rags.

"Nani? Itō-kun?"

Shōda Kazuo, who had regular dealings with Itō Chūji, was stunned when he saw the condition he was in.

"He was trying to imitate Kaitō Kid, but he didn't even get off the ground. He just plummeted straight to the ground."

"Why did Kaitō Kid escape again this time?"

"Why could Kaitō Kid's cape glider fly, but Itō's didn't work?"

Various voices murmured in the crowd, but Shōda Kazuo wasn't in the mood to listen.

The only thing he took in was the fact that Kaitō Kid had escaped.

Itō Chūji had tried to imitate Kaitō Kid, and that was why he ended up in this mess.

As Shōda Kazuo waited for the ambulance, the power system in the Yamaguchi-gumi business headquarters was restored. Nakajima Misaki and his team quickly emerged from the elevator.

When Nakajima Misaki saw everyone standing in the hallway, staring intently at the scene below, he knew what had happened.

"Baka, damn it!"

The news agency reporters, carrying cameras, pushed through the crowd and came up behind Shōda Kazuo.

When the reporters saw Itō Chūji lying on the ground, they were equally shocked.

[What the hell? Is that Itō Chūji? What was he trying to do?]

[Oh shit! Was he imitating Kaitō Kid's glider cape?]

[Oh my god! Looks like he failed, and it seems like the fall was pretty serious!]

[Hahaha, did he really think a piece of cloth would make him fly?]

[Haven't you seen how ninjas can disappear with just a piece of cloth? It's the same principle. I'm serious!]

The live stream chat was full of sarcastic comments and teasing.

Shōda Kazuo snatched the camera from the reporter's hands and threw it to the ground in a fit of rage.

"Baka yarō, are you an idiot?"

"Don't you feel ashamed? Shut down your live broadcast immediately!"

As the head of the Yamaguchi-gumi, Shōda Kazuo's fury was terrifying, his face contorted as if he was about to devour someone.

The reporters and staff from the news agency were terrified and quickly nodded, turning off the live stream.

Shōda Kazuo didn't stop there; he stormed over to the crowd and angrily chased them away.

Soon, Nakajima Misaki walked over, and when Shōda Kazuo saw him, his rage escalated.

"Baka yarō, Nakajima, where have you been?"

At the start of the operation, Nakajima Misaki had been stuck in the elevator.

It wasn't until Zhang Yang had left and the power was restored in the business headquarters that Nakajima Misaki was able to exit the elevator.

So, in Shōda Kazuo's eyes, Nakajima Misaki hadn't participated in the operation at all. He hadn't seen him once throughout the entire process.

Nakajima Misaki glanced at Itō Chūji, who was half-dead on the ground, and he knew just how big of a mistake he had made during this mission.

"I'm sorry, Shōda-kun!"

"We were trapped in the elevator by Kaitō Kid's power outage. We just got out!"

At this moment, Nakajima Misaki dared not show the slightest bit of anger. This operation had been a complete failure for him.

Shōda Kazuo snorted angrily.

"Go explain it to the Emperor yourself!"

Not only had they failed to capture anyone, but they had also lost the true manuscript of Lantingxu that the Emperor had entrusted to them.

Shōda Kazuo couldn't afford to take responsibility for that, nor did he want to.

Nakajima Misaki had made a big mistake during the operation, and Shōda Kazuo was more than happy to place the blame squarely on him.

Even if he couldn't completely shift the blame, at least he wouldn't have to bear the primary responsibility.

Soon, the ambulance rushed to the scene, and Itō Chūji, severely injured, was loaded into the vehicle.

Although Shōda Kazuo had instructed to turn off the live broadcast, the entire operation had already been seen by everyone.

Itō Chūji's attempt to imitate Kaitō Kid's glider had ended in failure, and many had witnessed his crash.

After the news agency turned off the broadcast, posts began flooding online.

[Itō Chūji's fall was brutal, I'm dying of laughter!]

[Although this is a cruel thing, I just can't stop laughing. He actually tried to imitate Kaitō Kid!]

[The son fell after getting shot, and now the father falls too, wanting to imitate—like father, like son!]

[I don't know where he got the courage to think he could fly just like Kaitō Kid with a piece of cloth!]

[Well, now both father and son are down, the father's even worse off than the son!]

The comment section was full of mockery and ridicule aimed at Itō Chūji, and even the Island Nation's own netizens had no sympathy for him.

[Itō is such a fool, he's so full of himself!]

[He's just like Nakajima Misaki, only good at embarrassing himself!]

[Why didn't we see Nakajima Misaki during this operation?]

[Baka, Nakajima is useless, good for nothing!]

Although the world's news media hadn't made it to the scene, the live broadcast from the news agency had provided more than enough material.

News outlets around the world scrambled to report on the operation as soon as possible.

"Yamaguchi-gumi openly provokes Kaitō Kid, only to suffer a crushing defeat!"

"Itō Chūji attempts to imitate Kaitō Kid, with disastrous results!"

"Island Nation sets a trap to lure out Kaitō Kid, but the operation is plagued with mishaps!"

"Itō Tōji is still in the hospital, while his father Itō Chūji is severely injured trying to imitate Kaitō Kid!"

Up until now, there were no other major stories.

Everything was about Kaitō Kid and the Island Nation's failed operation.

[The Island Nation really has no face left!]

[Britain is the best example. How dare they deny Britain's strength?]

[Hahaha, they lost everything—Kaitō Kid got away, the true manuscript of Lantingxu is gone, and Itō Chūji got nearly killed!]

[Tsk tsk tsk, the Island Nation's Emperor must be losing sleep over this!]

[This is perfect! It's like a takeaway delivery—the true manuscript of Lantingxu just landed in my hands!]

After making his escape, Zhang Yang casually drove off in a car he found on the side of the road, quickly leaving the area near the business headquarters.

Itō Chūji's appearance was both expected and unexpected to Zhang Yang.

In his plan, Zhang Yang had guessed that they might be lying in wait somewhere.

Additionally, after entering the building and not seeing Itō Chūji the entire time, it further confirmed his suspicion.

But Zhang Yang never expected that Itō Chūji would attempt to imitate the Silver-Winged Cape and, without hesitation, leap off the rooftop.

"The Itō family sure has a lot of courage!"
