Before Zhang Yang posted his announcement, everyone had been speculating whether Kaitō Kid would show up at the concert. But after the new calling card dropped, the tone quickly shifted to concern.
[This is Tyron's world tour we're talking about—BND is definitely going to treat it seriously. There's no way they'll let Kaitō Kid get near it!]
[Kaitō Kid's true strength is turning the impossible into reality.]
[Oh my god! If he ruins the concert, he'll definitely make an enemy of Tyron.]
[Like that even matters. Kaitō Kid's fame is on par with Tyron's—if not greater.]
[The one who's panicking the most right now is probably Director Leo. He's probably already on the way to the venue!]
Leo and Holmeska were indeed en route. The moment they saw Zhang Yang's post, they rushed straight to Botan Square.
Every second counted.
As Holmeska put it: they needed to act before Kaitō Kid did. If he seized the initiative, they'd just be dancing to his tune.
"Fuck! Damn it—Kaitō Kid came to Country D for Tyron's concert?"
Leo cursed the whole way there.
If the target were anything else, maybe he wouldn't be this stressed. But the calling card specifically mentioned Tyron's tour stop.
Holmeska shook his head firmly and dismissed the idea.
"No, that's not it."
"Director Leo, if Tyron's concert were really his target, Kaitō Kid would've started there. But he hit the museum last night, which means he didn't come here just for this show."
"What I want to know now is—why is he going to the concert venue at all?"
Holmeska was baffled.
Why would a world-class thief attend a pop concert? That just didn't make sense. He was sure Kaitō Kid had his eyes on something—and it just so happened to be at the venue.
The only problem was… Holmeska had no idea what could possibly be valuable enough to attract him there.
Leo, on the other hand, didn't care what Zhang Yang wanted to steal. As far as he was concerned, Kaitō Kid simply being on-site was enough to be a disaster.
"What we need to figure out," Leo said darkly, "is how to stop him from showing up."
If Kaitō Kid appeared at the concert, BND would be a global laughingstock. Sure, Bruce and Harrison had already taken hits to their reputations—but Leo wasn't about to let himself be next in line for internet ridicule.
Soon, the two of them arrived at Botan Square.
The stage was already set up. The venue was nearly finished. At nearby intersections, officers were stationed to stop vehicles from entering.
But all of this was part of the original event plan—it wasn't targeted at Kaitō Kid. It was just crowd control.
The press quickly noticed Leo and Holmeska's arrival and swung their live cameras toward them.
It made for a perfect headline shot.
[Hahaha, I knew Director Leo would be the first to show up!]
[Alright, let the Leo Show begin!]
[Holmeska's really joined the operation—gotta respect the guts it takes to go after Kaitō Kid.]
[Sherlock Holmes built a legendary name. If Holmeska joins this operation and fails… that's gonna be embarrassing.]
[Honestly, Holmeska's got more riding on this than Director Leo.]
Whether Holmeska cared or not, the legacy of Sherlock Holmes was already public knowledge. As his descendant, if Holmeska lost to Kaitō Kid, it would definitely put a dent in that legacy.
Some might even say Sherlock started strong, but the family line went downhill—with Holmeska ending in disgrace.
Leo immediately called in reinforcements. He didn't just deploy more BND agents; he also mobilized joint task forces from several nearby enforcement bureaus, stationing them all around Botan Square.
[Damn, Leo's gone off the rails. He's one step away from sending in the army!]
[Tyron must really carry weight if this is the kind of response he gets.]
[Or maybe it's Kaitō Kid that's the big deal. If anyone else threatened the concert, there wouldn't be this much security!]
[Hahaha, no doubt. Only Kaitō Kid gets this kind of attention. He's on a different level.]
[Tyron's concert hasn't even started yet, and the vibe is already through the roof. Imagine when the show kicks off—it's gonna be insane.]
From the moment Zhang Yang posted his calling card, he gave Tyron's show in Country D a massive popularity boost.
Now with Leo showing up and turning the whole square into a fortress, the hype was on another level.
Tyron's concert in Country D might end up being the highlight of his entire career. Even for a global superstar like him, this kind of drama and energy was unheard of.
Still, after locking down the entire area around Botan Square, Leo was far from relaxed.
"Holmeska, I have a bad feeling something's going to go wrong tonight."
"Damn it. If anything happens to Tyron, it's going to be a total disaster."
Even though Kaitō Kid was known for never hurting anyone, a chaotic scene could still spiral out of control. If Tyron got caught up in anything, his fans might tear Leo apart with spit alone.
Add in Kaitō Kid's involvement, and suddenly the whole world was watching. Leo felt like a mountain was crushing his chest—he could barely breathe under the pressure.
After some hesitation, Leo made a decision.
He was going to speak to Tyron directly. If possible, he wanted to tweak the concert schedule somehow.
At that moment, Tyron was still in his luxury hotel in Country D, getting ready to head to the venue for final prep.
Just as he was about to leave, several agents burst into the hotel lobby and stopped him with raised hands.
Tyron had a solid build. Even standing face-to-face with trained BND agents, his presence wasn't the least bit overshadowed.
His assistant looked startled and quickly stepped forward.
"Excuse me, is something wrong?"
"Mr. Tyron's concert is about to begin. If there's anything that needs discussing, I'm happy to help coordinate."
Right then, Leo and Holmeska got out of their vehicle and strode quickly toward them.
"Mr. Tyron, sorry to bother you. There's something we'd like to talk to you about."
"I'm Leo from BND."
Tyron wasn't unfamiliar with Leo. Between last night's livestream and this morning's news, he'd seen plenty of him already.
He immediately understood why Leo had come.
He'd already seen the calling card from Kaitō Kid.
But Tyron didn't take it too seriously. In fact, just like many online, he was a little curious—maybe even excited.
