From the private message sent by the Dragon Nation Embassy, it was clear that their gratitude wasn't just lip service—it was full of sincerity.
Last time, it was a private account from Britain that transferred several million U.S. dollars.
This time, they went even further—giving him a satellite phone that could directly reach the Dragon Nation Embassy at any time for support.
However, Zhang Yang didn't need it for now, so he didn't reply.
Just then, the system prompt sounded.
Ding!
Congratulations on completing the mission: Return Kangxi's Nine-Dragon Cup!
Reward received: choose between one hundred skill points or thirty thousand points!
Without hesitation, Zhang Yang chose the one hundred skill points. Right now, he had enough points to redeem whatever items he needed.
"Even a little meat's still meat. Besides, the difference was ten thousand points!"
After tidying up, Zhang Yang lay down and quickly drifted off to sleep.
At the same time, Harrison hadn't slept a wink—he was rewatching the previous livestream footage, trying to figure out a new strategy to catch Zhang Yang.
Meanwhile, Kawasaki and Kameda were holed up in their office, brainstorming how to persuade the British Royal Family to let them resume their pursuit of Zhang Yang.
The next morning, Zhang Yang woke up feeling refreshed and sat up from bed.
Ding!
New challenge mission received: Steal the lost Twelve Zodiac Sheep Head from the Eagle Nation!
Challenge mission reward: One randomly selected skill will be upgraded to its maximum level!
"The Eagle Nation also has one of the Twelve Zodiac bronze heads? Looks like I'm leaving Britain for a while."
Zhang Yang summoned the Know-It-All Assistant.
"Where are the Twelve Zodiac bronze heads located in the Eagle Nation?"
The Know-It-All Assistant quickly pulled up the result.
Ding!
Viewing the result requires a payment of six thousand points!
After confirming the payment, Zhang Yang couldn't help but grumble.
"Couldn't you just deduct it automatically?"
Ding!
Points successfully deducted. Auto-deduct mode activated!
At least the assistant had some common sense.
Zhang Yang carefully reviewed the information the assistant had compiled. The Sheep Head was in the hands of a private collector in the Eagle Nation, complete with detailed personal information.
"Carlos—a top private collector in the Eagle Nation. A financial investment tycoon, ranked among the top three wealthiest individuals in the country. The Sheep Head of the Twelve Zodiac is kept in one of his luxury estates..."
"Looks like it's time for a little trip to the Eagle Nation."
Zhang Yang began preparing for the journey. Inside his bedroom safe, he kept a stash of passports and all kinds of forged documents.
Meanwhile, back at the Japanese Embassy, Kawasaki had spent all night pleading and negotiating until finally, the British Royal Family grudgingly agreed to let them resume operations against Zhang Yang.
However, they imposed an extra condition.
If the Japanese embassy team caused any damage or incidents during their pursuit, they would be fully liable.
And they would have to pay ten times the value of any losses incurred.
"No problem. We will ensure the operation is completely safe!"
Kawasaki knew the British were just covering their backs, but he still gritted his teeth and agreed.
After all, the Emperor couldn't afford to lose face by personally begging the British Royal Family.
So the job of negotiating fell to Kawasaki.
With the green light finally given, Kawasaki breathed a long sigh of relief.
At least now there was hope of catching Kaitō Kid again.
"Kameda-san, you must not disappoint His Majesty again!"
Kawasaki spoke earnestly. "This opportunity was hard-earned. Make sure you catch Kaitō Kid as soon as possible!"
It wasn't like Kameda didn't want to succeed.
He just didn't have the skills—and every time, he got played like a fool.
"Director Kawasaki, Director Kameda! Kaitō Kid just posted a new update—he's heading to the Eagle Nation!"
Hearing that, Kawasaki was shocked.
"The Eagle Nation?"
He had just spent so much effort to secure permission for operations—and now Kaitō Kid was leaving Britain?
Kameda immediately checked Zhang Yang's latest post. After confirming the news, he exploded in rage.
"Bakayaro!"
"Kawasaki-san, I request permission to go to the Eagle Nation!"
Kawasaki's face darkened and he waved the agents out of the office.
They were stationed at the Japanese Embassy in Britain—it wasn't up to Kameda to simply transfer wherever he wanted.
And given Kameda's repeated blunders in recent operations, there was no way the Eagle Nation would approve his arrival either.
"Kameda-san, give it up."
"We've lost. Kaitō Kid's heading to the Eagle Nation. His Majesty will assign the pursuit to the Japanese Embassy there."
Meanwhile, Harrison also received the news.
"Director Harrison, Kaitō Kid is heading to the Eagle Nation!"
Seeing Zhang Yang's new update, Harrison frowned slightly.
But unlike Kawasaki and the others, he wasn't worrying about whether he could operate in the Eagle Nation.
As an MI5 Investigation Bureau director, Harrison had the authority to negotiate and conduct missions overseas.
"Get ready. We're heading to the Eagle Nation!"
Harrison's expression was firm.
"Even if I have to chase him to the ends of the earth, I will catch Kaitō Kid!"
He also ordered his agents to split up and board different flights.
"Stay alert on the plane. If you spot Kaitō Kid, act immediately!"
At the same time, Zhang Yang was already driving toward London International Airport.
News that Kaitō Kid was going to the Eagle Nation was blowing up online.
[Oh ho! Kaitō Kid's going to the Eagle Nation! Those guys are about to panic!]
[Oh my god! My idol is coming to our country!]
[Shit! I was just enjoying the show. I didn't think he'd actually come here!]
[Hahaha, Britain must be celebrating. They finally got rid of Kaitō Kid!]
[The Eagle Nation's got even more treasures than Britain. I'm really looking forward to this!]
Even though Zhang Yang's post was simple—just a picture of an iconic Eagle Nation landmark with the caption "Here I come"—it still sent the entire internet into a frenzy.
[Fuck! Are they really just going to let him leave?]
[Don't worry. Harrison will definitely follow. Kaitō Kid won't get away that easily!]
[I heard the Eagle Nation's FBI is ruthless. Does anyone know what Kaitō Kid plans to steal?]
[Whatever it is, it's gotta be something so precious it'll drive the Eagle Nation crazy!]
When Zhang Yang arrived at London International Airport, Harrison had already set up surveillance.
A large number of Enforcement Bureau officers were patrolling the area, randomly stopping passengers to check their documents.
Zhang Yang's passport and documents had been professionally prepared by that previous master thief and had been kept safely in his vault until now.
"Hello, please show your identification."
Just as Zhang Yang walked into the terminal, two officers stepped forward and stopped him.
"Of course. One moment, please."
Calm and composed, Zhang Yang handed over his documents.
After checking carefully, the officers found nothing suspicious.
They returned the documents.
"Everything's in order. Thank you for your cooperation."
Just then, chaos suddenly erupted in the terminal—a man bolted, and officers rushed from all directions to tackle him.
In no time, they had him pinned to the ground.
