Livestream: Awakening as Kaitō Kid, Shocking the World-Chapter 30: Target—The Dragon Head on the Cruise Ship!

As everyone knew, the island nation had always prided itself on superficial courtesy, but lacked any true sense of justice. During its past invasions, it had committed countless inhumane atrocities—and to this day, it still refused to acknowledge any wrongdoing.

So Zhang Yang didn't bother with pleasantries. He simply pulled out his credentials and flashed them briefly.

"I've been charged. I need the embassy's help to find a lawyer."

The man glanced over his ID, and without much suspicion, bowed politely and invited Zhang Yang to wait in the reception lounge while they looked into the matter.

Zhang Yang had only come up with the lawyer excuse as a reason to enter the embassy. He wasn't about to waste time spinning tales.

So when they reached the second floor, Zhang Yang casually said he needed to use the restroom.

Once the man pointed him in the right direction, Zhang Yang walked into the bathroom as instructed.

Two minutes later, he walked out as someone else—still appearing to be an island nation citizen, but with a different face and changed clothes.

In the Japanese Embassy, only people who looked local would avoid suspicion.

The embassy's main building had three floors. The first floor had the most foot traffic, so Zhang Yang figured there was no way the Dragon Head would be kept there.

The second floor looked like it was mainly for receiving guests. There were far fewer people, but Zhang Yang still wasn't sure.

So he first strolled around the second floor and found no heavily restricted areas.

Just as he was about to head up to the third floor, he overheard a conversation between two people upstairs.

"MI5 is a complete joke. They can't even catch Kaitō Kid!"

"The cruise ship's been docked for two days already—we can't wait any longer!"

Right after that, another man scoffed coldly.

"Hmph! Kameda-san, don't forget how MI5 ruined our last operation."

"MI5 is no joke. It's Kaitō Kid who's too slippery."

"The Dragon Head hasn't been leaked yet, but keeping it in the embassy is just a ticking time bomb!"

Their voices weren't loud, but with Zhang Yang's Enhanced Senses, his hearing far exceeded that of a normal person.

It sounded like they were debating what to do with the Dragon Head—still undecided.

Zhang Yang leaned patiently against the wall, continuing to eavesdrop.

"Kawasaki-san, shall we move at eight o'clock and escort the Dragon Head onto the cruise ship?"

The man named Kawasaki gave a low grunt in agreement.

"Yeah, we've got no choice now."

"There are agents on the cruise ship. You'll escort the Dragon Head back to the homeland."

"This mission is of great importance to His Majesty the Emperor. Be extremely careful and make sure nothing goes wrong!"

By this point, Zhang Yang had the whole picture.

At eight tonight, they planned to transport the Dragon Head onto a cruise ship and take it back to their country.

Judging from what they said, it sounded like they'd had the artifact for a while, but hadn't dared act—until now.

They were worried that news might leak and Kaitō Kid would strike.

They'd even pinned their hopes on MI5, hoping the agency would catch him first so they could act without worry and quietly escort the Dragon Head away.

Zhang Yang didn't venture up to the third floor, not wanting to alert anyone.

They were clearly on edge about Kaitō Kid, which meant they probably knew at least something about his capabilities.

If an unfamiliar face appeared where it shouldn't, it would only make them more cautious—definitely not worth the risk.

Now that he knew they planned to move the Dragon Head at eight, Zhang Yang quietly went downstairs and left the embassy.

The cruise ship had been docked for two days. That single clue would make it easy to figure out which one it was.

Zhang Yang first searched online and found that there were a total of three cruise ships traveling from Britain to the island nation. Two of them had publicly listed departure times, with the latest one set to leave by 7 PM.

But in the conversation Zhang Yang had overheard earlier, the Japanese Embassy's scheduled operation was at 8 PM.

So the only possibility... was the last cruise ship—the one that didn't list any departure time.

It was obvious. Since the embassy hadn't yet transferred the Dragon Head aboard, the ship had been waiting this entire time.

"MT37..."

Zhang Yang jotted down the cruise ship's number and its dock location before heading to the port.

As it turned out, his hunch was spot on.

The cruise ship was bustling with people—clearly tourists. When Zhang Yang arrived, passengers were still boarding.

Now all he had to do was find a way to get on board.

Since the Dragon Head was being delivered to the ship, Zhang Yang simply needed to wait for it on board.

"Looks like I'll have to 'borrow' a ticket..."

Without a boarding pass, he had to target one of the passengers and "borrow" theirs.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, he finally spotted a lucky candidate.

This poor guy had his wallet sticking out of his back jeans pocket—visible from a mile away.

Zhang Yang brushed past him. They didn't even touch, but the wallet was already in Zhang Yang's hand. The guy never noticed a thing.

Zhang Yang opened it to check. Sure enough, there was a card inside with a picture of the cruise ship printed on it.

To avoid being flagged by facial recognition, Zhang Yang disguised himself to look exactly like the man.

He was a foreigner in his twenties—not from the island nation.

At around 7 PM, Zhang Yang arrived at the cruise ship's gangway. Good thing he'd planned ahead—the ship required dual verification, including facial recognition.

"Have a pleasant journey," the staff said cheerfully as they returned the card.

Zhang Yang took it with a smile.

"Oh, it'll be a very pleasant one."

Around 8 PM, two black sedans pulled up by the dock. Seven or eight men got out, all highly alert and scanning their surroundings with caution.

Each one wore an earpiece—practically announcing to the world that they were agents.

Zhang Yang quickly noticed that one of them was carrying a square, hard-edged briefcase.

They boarded the cruise ship, where another group was already waiting to receive them.

That group stood out even more—clearly not tourists.

Once they were aboard, the dock workers removed the gangway.

A voice came over the ship's intercom, reminding guests that departure was imminent.

Zhang Yang took a long sip of his drink, then pulled out his phone and uploaded a scheduled post. frёeωebɳovel.com

Just one image: his signature calling card.

"I've sailed with them to sea. Amid the crowd's cheers, I'll take it away."

The Japanese Embassy had been monitoring Kaitō Kid's social media closely, so Kawasaki saw the post as soon as it went up.

But the ship had already departed, and orders from the Emperor were clear—by tomorrow at noon, the Dragon Head must arrive at their homeland's port.

"Baka yarou!" Kawasaki cursed furiously.

Despite all their precautions, they still couldn't keep Kaitō Kid away.

Kawasaki immediately relayed the news to Kameda. At that moment, Kameda had just locked the Dragon Head into a security safe.

"Kawasaki-san, I understand."

"Don't worry, we'll tighten security. The Dragon Head is already locked up safely."
