Chapter 46: A Message, A Deal!
Black Feather Kaito looked completely bewildered.
Then,
Upon hearing the words “Kaito Kid,” his whole face contorted in terror.
“It’s not me?”
“You’ve got the wrong person.”
“Goodbye!”
After saying this.
He moved with extreme speed, immediately trying to shut the door.
But, unfortunately.
Li Ze directly stopped him, then said with a smile: “Since I dared to come to your door, I naturally have absolute confidence. You wouldn’t want me to call the police, would you?”
“Damn it!” Black Feather Kaito snarled, “Who are you?”
Clearly.
Since the other party had said this, it proved that his identity had been exposed.
What to do?
He was a little panicked.
“Kaito-kun, don’t be afraid.”
“I just need you to do me a favor, help my friend with some makeup.”
“In exchange, I’ll keep your secret.”
“How about it?”
Li Ze spoke again.
A faint smile played on his lips, and he calmly observed Black Feather Kaito.
Black Feather Kaito: “……”
He had a black line across his forehead.
Looking at Li Ze before him, his mouth twitched violently.
Good heavens!
He had made such a big scene just to ask for help with makeup?
“Just, that simple?” Black Feather Kaito asked in disbelief, “No other conditions?”
Li Ze shrugged his shoulders: “That’s it. Won’t you invite us in?”
“Alright, come in!”
Black Feather Kaito stepped aside.
Then.
Li Ze and Natasha sat down directly on the sofa in the living room.
Looking at the huge portrait on the wall of the living room, Natasha couldn’t help but speak: “That magician, Black Feather Toichi?”
And, in response.
Li Ze shrugged his shoulders and nodded.
On the other side.
Although Black Feather Kaito was very unhappy, he still brewed a pot of tea for the two of them and immediately took out his makeup tools.
“Both of you, just tell me.”
“What kind of look do you want to achieve? I need to prepare some materials in advance.”
Clearly.
He just wanted to get this done quickly and get rid of these two as soon as possible.
Natasha, without further ado.
Immediately began to make various requests. Black Feather Kaito nodded continuously and began to prepare the materials.
Meanwhile.
Li Ze sipped his tea leisurely and began to admire Kaito’s home.
It had to be said.
It was indeed the home of a magician, filled with magic props everywhere.
After about half an hour.
Natasha looked at her new face with satisfaction and then smiled in thanks: “You’re worthy of being Kaito Kid, your skills are truly impressive.”
Black Feather Kaito rolled his eyes.
Clearly.
For those who had come to his door and threatened him, even though Natasha was praising him now, he still couldn’t bring himself to feel any affection.
After a long silence.
He couldn’t help but speak.
“Because of the time constraint, the materials used aren’t very good.”
“This human skin mask isn’t perfect, anyone who takes a closer look will surely notice it’s not right.”
“I don’t know your purpose, but you must remember this, otherwise if something goes wrong don’t blame me.”
“Also…”
“Similarly, because of the materials, this mask can only be used for three days.”
“After three days, it will deform.”
“Alright!”
“I’ve done what I promised you, now can you tell me what went wrong?”
“How did you investigate me?”
Yes.
He couldn’t figure it out.
His few appearances, his performances had been flawless.
So.
How had these two figured out his identity?
And, in response.
Li Ze put down his teacup and smiled, “I understand your concern, but there’s no need. I guarantee that no one else will find you.”
“Didn’t you find me?” Black Feather Kaito rolled his eyes.
Li Ze spoke calmly, “I’m an exception.”
Black Feather Kaito was extremely unhappy.
After all.
They had talked for a long time but still hadn’t answered his question.
But.
Thinking about the enemy being stronger than him, even though he was very unwilling, he could only grit his teeth and say, “You still haven’t answered my question.”
“Don’t you understand? I don’t want to answer.” Li Ze shrugged, “It’s my special ability, so it’s naturally confidential.”
“All I can tell you is that no one else will know your identity.”
Black Feather Kaito had a black line across his forehead.
Damn it.
In a position of weakness, he had no rights!
He had even helped them, but they wouldn’t even answer a simple question.
It was really infuriating!
But unfortunately.
Although he was furious inside, he had no choice.
After a long time.
He sighed helplessly and then said, “Fine, I’ll take a step back.”
“You won’t bother me again in the future, right?”
Yes.
He was quite serious about this.
Although he had to transform into Kaito Kid to find his father’s murderer, he didn’t want it to affect his real-life student identity.
After all.
He still had his childhood sweetheart, Nakamori Aoko!
“Of course…” Li Ze pondered for a moment, then shook his head helplessly: “Impossible!”
Ugh!
Upon hearing the first two words, Black Feather Kaito was quite happy.
But then.
Upon hearing the last three words, he almost choked.
Damn it.
Too much!
He was so angry that he gritted his teeth and immediately wanted to vent his anger: “You bastard, I…”
But.
Before he could get angry, Li Ze interrupted him.
“Wait, don’t get angry.”
“For the sake of our future cooperation, I’m willing to show you some sincerity.”
“After all, I’m not stupid.”
“If you’re unwilling, it will easily affect me.”
“So, to avoid unnecessary conflicts, I can give you a message as a gift.”
“You became Kaito Kid, wasn’t it to investigate the death of your father?”
“Your enemies are not to be underestimated.”
“Even with my intelligence capabilities, I don’t have much information for now, although I know a few of those guys, they’re just small fry, not much help to you.”
“But, I can tell you.”
“Your father didn’t die, he faked his death all those years to investigate those guys.”
Yes.
Black Feather Kaito’s abilities, although in the original story, seem like he’s just playing around.
But in reality.
If used well, they are practically divine skills.
So.
Since he had already established a connection with Black Feather Kaito, he naturally didn’t want to only use him once.
In this case, building a good relationship was important.
After all.
There was a huge difference between helping willingly and helping unwillingly!
Anyway, this message didn’t hold much value to him.
Trading it for Black Feather Kaito’s favor, he felt was a good deal.
“What, my dad isn’t dead?” Black Feather Kaito was stunned.
Li Ze shrugged his shoulders and smiled, “Are you satisfied with my sincerity?”
Hearing these words.
Black Feather Kaito took a deep breath, looked solemnly at the portrait of Black Feather Toichi in the living room, and then nodded.
“Yes, satisfied!”
“I never thought that old man was still alive.”
“What a bastard!”
“He made me worry for so long, and that damn old hag, no wonder she’s been playing around overseas these past two years without any signs of grief.”
“Turns out…”
“I’ve been working my ass off investigating here while they went on a romantic getaway!”
“Helping you guys, no problem.”
“But I won’t do anything illegal, that needs to be said in advance!”
Yes.
Black Feather Kaito wasn’t stupid!
He was quick on the uptake.
Many things that he couldn’t figure out before, after hearing Li Ze’s message, he naturally understood immediately.
On the other side.
Li Ze and Natasha, hearing Black Feather Kaito’s words, couldn’t help but twitch their mouths.
“Compared to you, Kaito Kid, we’re the real good guys.”
Natasha began to complain.
Li Ze was pretty much the same.
However.
He was too lazy to argue with Black Feather Kaito, so after a sigh of resignation, he nodded.
“Of course, no problem, we’re the good guys.”
“So, happy cooperation!”
