Livestream: Awakening as Kaitō Kid, Shocking the World-Chapter 28: Kaitō Kid Breaks the Internet Again!
Chapter 28 - 28: Kaitō Kid Breaks the Internet Again!
The realization struck Harrison like lightning. He grabbed a high-powered flashlight from the back of the SUV and switched it on.
As the beam cut through the darkness, the bat that had been hanging midair flapped away. And at that moment—the invisible Shadowline Zipcord shimmered into view.
Harrison followed the taut line with his light. It led straight up to the roof of the castle.
A moment later, he found the other end too.
It was anchored to the same tree Zhang Yang had been hiding in earlier.
"This guy... he's seriously on another level," Harrison muttered.
For the first time, Harrison felt completely outmatched. Every move Kaitō Kid had made was premeditated, part of a plan. Even Harrison's own reactions had been calculated into it.
That was the scariest part.
This had only been a heist—and Kaitō Kid hadn't harmed a single person.
But if this had been a high-risk mission? Harrison's entire team might not have survived the night.
[Oh my god! He got into the castle using just a piece of string?!]
[Jesus, this is insane. How the hell did he pull that off?!]
[I swear, I'd bow to this guy. He's like a one-man army.]
[Kaitō Kid really can do everything. Every time he makes a move, it's unpredictable.]
[He sliced through drones with playing cards, man. PLAYING. CARDS. I'll eat my own shoes if anyone saw that coming.]
Harrison ordered the agents to shut down the livestream. The situation was clear now—and it was time to file his report.
As expected, Britain's upper echelons were blindsided by his failure. freewebnσvel.cøm
Naturally, Harrison got chewed out. He was given three days—no excuses—to catch Kaitō Kid.
This wasn't just about catching a thief anymore. Zhang Yang hadn't robbed just anyone—he'd targeted Earl Lawrence. This was a matter of national pride now.
But even before that, the fact that the whole operation had been livestreamed meant the damage was already done.
The broadcast may have ended, but the internet was still on fire.
[Unbelievable. MI5 couldn't even find a single trace of Kaitō Kid the entire time.]
[Kaitō Kid's guts though—he actually robbed a British earl!]
[This can't stand. He's gonna pay for this!]
[Right, sure. You're so tough. Why don't you try catching him, then?]
[LOL. This is what they call "rage from incompetence."]
[Dude, I can hear your nervous breakdown from across the globe. Chill, will ya?]
Inside Britain, the mood was grim—bitter and defeated. But outside the country, international onlookers were absolutely loving the drama.
Meanwhile, the British nobility was seething over the fact that the Tianmu Glazed Bowl and the Serpent Head of the Twelve Bronze Zodiac had been returned to the Capital Museum in the Dragon Nation of Huaxia.
No matter how sternly they protested, there was no response. Not even a courtesy reply.
And with Harrison's failure thrown into the mix, the whole thing felt like salt on an open wound.
After leaving Milwich Castle, Zhang Yang received a system notification.
Ding!
Mission Complete: Successfully Stole the Ruby Ring!
Reward: Silver-Winged Cape (Permanent Use)!
Right after that, a second alert popped up—this one for the return mission.
Ding!
Return Mission Unlocked: Return the Ruby Ring to the Dragon Nation. Reward: 10,000 System Points.
Zhang Yang didn't even hesitate.
He got in his car and drove straight to the Dragon Nation's embassy.
Across the street from the embassy gates, he took two clear photos of the ruby ring.
Then, he carefully placed the ring inside a simple cardboard box.
Zhang Yang then opened the system shop and exchanged for a white dove.
He tied the string attached to the cardboard box to the dove's beak.
The dove took off, carrying the apple-sized box toward the gate of the Dragon Nation's embassy.
This was already the third time the embassy had received a mysterious package, so the guards knew exactly what to do.
One of them reached out and caught the small box midair. The dove flapped its wings and flew away immediately.
The guard picked up the phone and reported it to his superior.
Soon, the embassy officer came hurrying out in a rush.
Inside the gate post, he carefully unwrapped the box, his hands tense with anticipation.
Sure enough, just as expected—it was the ruby ring.
Now he was certain—the previous two packages, too, had been sent by Kaitō Kid.
The Dragon Nation had asked for verification, demanding confirmation that the Tianmu Glazed Bowl and the Serpent Head of the Twelve Bronze Zodiac were truly returned by Kaitō Kid himself.
Before, Zhang Yang hadn't delivered the items right after stealing them, which left some doubt. There was still a chance the artifacts had been resold through other channels.
But not this time.
This time, the officer had been watching MI5's livestream in real time.
The ruby ring had been stolen barely thirty minutes ago!
He carefully closed the box and tucked it away securely before turning and walking quickly back into the embassy.
Zhang Yang, meanwhile, got back in the car and quietly left the area.
After returning home, he uploaded a new post to Kaitō Kid's official channel, proudly sharing his latest prize: the ruby ring.
"A dazzling ruby like this should rest on the hand of a beautiful princess."
Attached beneath was a crystal-clear photo of the ring.
The ruby sparkled with brilliant clarity, glowing with a deep crimson hue—it was clearly an extraordinary gemstone.
[Wow! That ruby is absolutely stunning!]
[Oh my god, Earl Lawrence must be having a meltdown right now!]
[Kaitō Kid pulled it off again—total style points. He even dropped a poetic burn on top!]
[It's not even the theft that hurts—it's the insult!]
[This ruby ring must have some insane history too, huh? Kaitō Kid never goes after just anything.]
As soon as the post went up, the internet exploded.
It didn't take long for curious users to dig up the full history of the ruby ring.
[Time for a quick fact drop! According to historical records, this ruby ring used to belong to a Qing Dynasty princess. It was buried with her after death as part of her grave goods.]
[Whoa... this is not something you wanna wear lightly.]
[If Lady Bertha finds out where it came from, I wonder if she'll ever put it on again.]
[What the hell? They even looted stuff from the dead back then? Have they no shame?]
The moment the ruby ring's origins became public knowledge, outrage swept across the Dragon Nation's netizens.
But give it till morning, and their anger would probably settle down.
Because barring any surprises... the ruby ring was already on its way back to the Dragon Nation.
The real tantrum, though, was happening elsewhere.
Clearly, the folks in Britain couldn't handle the fallout.
They started silencing and muting netizens from the Dragon Nation who had climbed the Great Firewall to mock them.
Not just silencing—full-on account bans.
But Dragon Nation netizens weren't about to be silenced that easily.
Please. What could possibly matter more than watching the drama unfold?
[Oh, come on, you geezers. If you can't handle it, don't play. Trying to silence us now?]
[LMAO. Grandpa's got a hundred alt accounts. Keep banning, we'll keep posting!]
[Need a spare account? DM me. I got a whole stash of foreign ones ready to go.]
The flood of discussion swept across every corner of the web.
And it wasn't just Dragon Nation users. Netizens from other countries started mocking the British netizens' tantrum too.
Meanwhile, in the early hours before dawn, a private diplomatic jet from the Dragon Nation Embassy safely touched down—ruby ring onboard.
