Tyron had fans all over the world—but Kaitō Kid wasn't far behind. In fact, he might even have a bit more. Seeing two global icons like them cross paths was bound to be entertaining.
[Kaitō Kid never does anything without purpose. If you're hoping he'll show up at Tyron's tour stop, don't count on it.]
[Tomorrow's concert will definitely have tighter security. BND is sure to take it seriously.]
[Tsk tsk… Leo didn't look all that impressive tonight. If Kaitō Kid wants to appear at the concert, it should be no problem at all.]
[Shit! If Kaitō Kid causes chaos at a world tour concert, BND's just a bunch of clowns.]
[You can you up, no can no bb!]
Worrying about tomorrow's concert wasn't just Leo's problem—it was shared by fans across the world.
That said, Leo was the only one genuinely on edge.
The global fans were just curious, watching from afar. Most of them weren't worried—they were just excited to see what might happen.
Meanwhile, in his hotel room, Zhang Yang gazed out at the night skyline, still turning one question over in his mind.
"According to the rules of the game, Holmeska only wins the prize if he catches me before the authorities."
"Leo is a BND director. If Holmeska's working with him, isn't that the same as giving up the six hundred million dollars?"
"Or… is he playing the mantis stalking the cicada, while he waits to be the oriole behind?"
Leo, as a top BND official, counted as part of the authorities.
By competition rules, that would make him Holmeska's opponent.
Even though Leo wasn't technically a contestant, he was still considered a potential threat. If he caught Zhang Yang first, Holmeska would lose by default.
Which left Zhang Yang puzzled—what exactly was Holmeska thinking?
Back in France, it had never seemed like he wanted to team up with Harrison or Victor.
"He's a descendant of Sherlock Holmes. If he really wanted to join forces, I'm sure Harrison and the others would've welcomed him."
No matter how much he thought it over, Zhang Yang couldn't figure it out. So instead, he started scrolling through the latest news.
Most of the global headlines were about his rooftop magic show at the museum.
Countless comments flooded in—full of praise and amazement.
There were also articles about Tyron's upcoming concert. In the comment sections, Zhang Yang noticed a ton of people talking about Kaitō Kid.
He chuckled to himself.
His trip to Country D had nothing to do with Tyron's world tour. Not even a little.
"As long as the system doesn't assign a mission, I'm not gonna go stir up trouble for no reason."
Even in the comment threads, people were already guessing BND would beef up security. And if the system didn't issue a theft task, Zhang Yang had no intention of walking into a trap.
The next morning, at Botan Square in Country D, the tour concert stage was almost fully built.
Media outlets were livestreaming everything—tracking the tour setup in real time.
[Oh my god! Can't wait for the show—Tyron's real fans, sound off!]
[They're hosting this tour stop in this spot? Guess they're not worried about Kaitō Kid at all.]
[Hahaha! If Kaitō Kid wants to appear, the location doesn't matter one bit.]
[Shit! This venue was locked in over a week ago. Let's hope Kaitō Kid doesn't show up.]
[Such a massive concert, and you'll barely be able to see anyone clearly. If Kaitō Kid actually shows up, that'd max out the hype.]
When Zhang Yang finally woke up and sat down for a late breakfast, he casually scrolled through the news and came across reports on Tyron's tour.
"A concert at Botan Square? Who gave them the nerve?"
Leo had a whole squad of BND agents and still couldn't secure a single museum. Botan Square was ten times more open. No matter how tight the security, there were bound to be gaps.
Plus, with how packed the crowd would be, it was basically a sea of people—plenty of opportunities for someone like him.
"If the system drops a mission, I guess I could stop by. Stir things up a little."
But if there were no reward in it, Zhang Yang honestly wasn't interested.
He didn't care much for Tyron, the global superstar. The last thing he wanted was to get himself caught up in some unnecessary drama.
Just as he finished the thought, the system dinged.
[Ding]
[New Theft Mission: Steal the ancient painting of Wang Zhaojun—one of the Four Beauties of the Dragon Nation—at Tyron's concert venue.]
[Reward: 80,000 points]
Murphy's Law in action. Whatever could happen, did happen.
The mission had arrived.
What Zhang Yang couldn't figure out was why Tyron's concert would feature an ancient painting of Wang Zhaojun.
Wang Zhaojun was one of the Four Great Beauties of the Dragon Nation. Genuine ancient portraits of her were incredibly rare.
"This is getting wild. A French superstar owns an ancient painting of one of Dragon Nation legendary beauties?"
"And he brought it on tour? What the hell is he trying to do?"
His curiosity officially piqued, Zhang Yang started digging into any link between Tyron and this painting.
Even with full-level Super Hacker skill and total access to the global web, he found nothing.
He even tapped into the French Enforcement Bureau's central database—but still, no useful intel.
"Must've been a private acquisition. That's probably why there's no news or paper trail."
"But what's he doing bringing it on tour? Showing off?"
Zhang Yang couldn't make sense of it. There was only one way to find out—go to the concert tonight and see for himself.
Meanwhile, under every article about Tyron's concert, fans were still going wild in the comments.
[If Kaitō Kid sticks to tradition, we should be seeing a new calling card any second now.]
[Can't wait to see what it says. Tyron's been in Country D since last night—he definitely knows Kaitō Kid hit the museum!]
[He hasn't said anything about Kaitō Kid though. Maybe the concert's got nothing to do with him.]
[Bros, BND is already at the venue setting up. Haven't seen Director Leo yet though. Probably means Kaitō Kid won't show.]
[Damn… what a missed opportunity. This could've been huge.]
Three minutes later, Kaitō Kid posted a new update—his latest calling card.
It pointed directly at Tyron's concert.
"Tonight. Botan Square. Tyron's tour concert. Don't be late."
The internet exploded instantly.
[Oh my god! Tell me I'm not dreaming—Kaitō Kid's actually showing up at Tyron's concert?!]
[WTF?! Did not see that coming!]
[Holy shit, you're serious?!]
[The most fan-loving master thief in history—if the fans can dream it, he'll deliver.]
[Fuck! This maniac is really doing it. Kaitō Kid's completely insane!]
