Livestream: Awakening as Kaitō Kid, Shocking the World-Chapter 46: The Silver-Winged Magician’s Grand Escape!
Chapter 46 - 46: The Silver-Winged Magician’s Grand Escape!
At this moment, Kameda Motoji felt like his heart was about to burst. If Itō Itsuki fell from here, the Itō clan would tear him apart, limb by limb.
After all, Itō Itsuki was the clan's greatest hope to ascend to the rank of Heaven-ranked ninja.
Even if Kameda were sliced to pieces a hundred times over, it still wouldn't be enough to make up for it.
But Zhang Yang wasn't planning to climb down forever. Down below, Harrison's men were already waiting.
"You've got guts. Pity you're lacking in brains."
Zhang Yang left Itō Itsuki with those words.
Then, with a flourish, his Silver-Winged Cape unfurled behind him as he let go of the window frame and leaned back.
Spreading his arms, he caught the wind and soared into the night.
"???"
Itō Itsuki was stunned.
And not just him—everyone at that moment was frozen in shock.
[Oh wow, real-life ninja fail right here!]
[Itō: Bro, you're making me look like a fool!]
[Oh shit! That cape actually works like a glider? He's really flying from this height?]
[At this point, if someone told me Superman was real, I'd believe it!]
Kameda snapped out of it, cursing in rage.
"Bakayaro! Bakayaro!"
"Damn it! Damn it! He got away again!"
What drove Kameda even crazier was that Zhang Yang had totally played Itō Itsuki for a fool.
Down below, the MI5 agents and security guards stared up, watching Zhang Yang glide off into the night, completely dumbfounded.
"Oh my god! He can fly?!"
"Shit! This is insane!"
"My mind can't take this. Wasn't he supposed to be on the wall? And then just... flew off?"
Some viewers had seen him glide once before at the British Museum.
But that building was barely over ten meters high. This was over a hundred!
If that first flight had shocked them, this one was downright ridiculous.
Harrison's face turned black. He was completely crushed.
This had been the closest they'd ever gotten to catching Kaitō Kid. The most likely moment to succeed.
"Don't just stand there! Get a rope, now!"
Zhang Yang might've flown away, but Itō Itsuki was still hanging outside the building!
If the wind picked up, it'd only take a second for him to fall straight down.
Even a top-tier ninja wouldn't survive a fall from this height.
After they pulled Itō Itsuki back inside, Harrison gave him a cold, mocking stare.
"Kaitō Kid still won. He played you."
"..."
Itō Itsuki said nothing. The truth was undeniable.
When he'd climbed out the window, he'd thought of all the possible outcomes, even falling to his death. But for the honor of the ninja, he didn't hesitate.
What he didn't expect was to be left with nothing but the insult of having courage without brains.
[Stop, stop, that's too harsh! Any more and he'll look even worse!]
[Completely crushed. Even his intelligence got wiped out.]
[They had a real shot at catching Kaitō Kid, but no, had to chase "ninja honor."]
[They keep falling into his traps—Kaitō Kid is just too smart!]
[Honor? Please. If that mattered, why didn't he follow Kaitō Kid down?]
The livestream chat exploded with mockery and ridicule.
Kameda had plenty to complain about with Itō Itsuki's reckless pride, but since they were on the same team, he couldn't just stay silent.
"Harrison, if Kaitō Kid resisted, could you really guarantee you'd have caught him?"
"When he challenged Mr. Itō, why didn't you act then?"
Harrison shot Kameda a cold glance, leaving him speechless.
Why hadn't he acted then?
Hesitation? Doubt?
In that moment, Harrison really had frozen, unable to decide.
Just then, Daniel stormed up, furious.
"Harrison, you and your people are responsible for this! You will compensate the auction for all the damages!"
Before the operation, Daniel had made it clear: no disrupting the auction, and no endangering the guests.
But forget about running the auction—the whole place was trashed!
"Mr. Daniel, what exactly did Kaitō Kid steal?"
With that one question, Harrison left Daniel dumbfounded.
"Oh shit! What did he steal?"
Daniel quickly ordered his staff to check the auction items.
[This whole place is packed with geniuses, huh?]
[Hahaha, did he forget why Kaitō Kid was even here?]
[Oh my god! They'll definitely replace the auction director after this!]
[No need to check—just wait a bit and see what Kaitō Kid posts next!]
The livestream chat was going wild, full of jokes and banter.
But Harrison quickly ordered the MI5 agents to shut the stream down. Kaitō Kid had already escaped—keeping the stream running now was just adding insult to injury.
After the staff completed their check, they finally confirmed what had gone missing.
"Harrison, the stolen item is Gu Kaizhi's Admonitions of the Instructress Scroll!"
"Oh my god! You have to get it back!"
"That was the most valuable item at the auction, and Kaitō Kid took it!"
Daniel was on the verge of a mental breakdown.
The Admonitions of the Instructress, the one held by the museum, is just a Tang Dynasty replica. The original was believed lost to history.
But the one at Fubons Auction was an authentic fragment by Gu Kaizhi himself. Even if it was just part of the scroll, it was one of a kind—its value beyond measure!
Daniel was losing it, but Harrison and Kameda hardly reacted.
All they cared about was catching Kaitō Kid. What he stole? That was secondary.
"Mr. Daniel, we'll apprehend Kaitō Kid as soon as possible and recover the stolen item."
Harrison gave his official statement, calm and detached.
"The appropriate departments will contact the auction regarding the rest."
His words were bureaucratic, businesslike.
But to Daniel, it felt like a death sentence.
Harrison called his agents. Time to pull out.
Seeing this, Kameda gathered his team too. If Harrison was leaving, why would he stick around to clean up the mess?
The two of them packed up and left, leaving Daniel totally stunned.
Fubons Auction was in ruins. Their most valuable item was gone.
Daniel's rage exploded.
"Harrison! Kameda! I'll file complaints against both of you!"
"You wrecked the auction and let Kaitō Kid get away!"
Harrison frowned but said nothing, leaving swiftly with his team.
Kameda didn't dare say more either. He escorted Itō Itsuki to the elevator and slipped away, just as humiliated.
Daniel kicked a chair across the room, seething, with nowhere to vent his fury.
In the back, the world's wealthiest were waiting in the lounge, but the auction was obviously over.
"Fuck!"
Daniel cursed, now racking his brain for how to explain tonight's disaster to Fubons headquarters.
