Livestream: Awakening as Kaitō Kid, Shocking the World-Chapter 32: The Insane MI5!
Chapter 32 - 32: The Insane MI5!
Security had to be even tighter near the Dragon Head.
On the fourth-floor outer balcony, several agents were constantly on guard.
Zhang Yang dipped his finger into his drink, wiped the alcohol onto his clothes to make the scent stronger, and got ready to approach the area they were guarding to test the waters.
Actually, on the cruise ship's fourth floor, only the rear half had passenger rooms.
The front half wasn't open to tourists—it was where the cruise staff stayed.
When Zhang Yang reached the third floor, he noticed this. The staircase leading to the fourth floor had a wooden door, with a card reader and facial recognition.
Right now, the cruise ship was crawling with agents arranged by the Japanese Embassy. Zhang Yang didn't try to force his way through. Instead, he lay on the third-floor railing, watching the deck and listening to every movement from above.
"So many people?"
From the footsteps alone, Zhang Yang could tell there were about fifteen people on the fourth floor, all gathered near the front row of rooms.
Their security measures were exactly what Zhang Yang had expected. Even before the Dragon Head was loaded onto the cruise, they kept everything under wraps, showing just how cautious they were.
Zhang Yang waited at the third-floor railing, not in a rush. He waited for almost an hour.
Even Kameda upstairs couldn't sit still anymore.
"Baka! Is Kaitō Kid really on this ship?!"
"Why hasn't he shown up yet!"
Kameda was in a temporary command room. The wall in front of him was covered with screens showing various surveillance feeds.
There was also a computer in front of him, displaying every agent's position, updated in real time.
Small setup, but fully equipped.
Kameda grabbed the walkie-talkie, angrily demanding, "Patrol team, report any anomalies! If there's anything unusual, report immediately!"
But there was only silence on the other end.
Kameda was fuming. Not being able to find Kaitō Kid left him feeling uneasy.
It was like having a time bomb nearby, ready to explode at any moment, keeping him on edge.
Just then, Kameda got a call from Kawasaki.
"Kameda-san, MI5 from Britain has already set out to intercept the cruise!"
"Have they found Kaitō Kid?"
Kameda's face darkened. Dealing with Kaitō Kid was already a headache.
Now MI5 was on their tail too.
"Kawasaki-san, can you talk to the British side and get MI5 to withdraw?"
"Everything here is normal, we haven't found Kaitō Kid yet!"
This Dragon Head escort mission was top secret.
Even the agents on board only knew they were protecting something important, but had no clue what exactly it was.
Kameda's request was something Kawasaki couldn't possibly manage.
MI5 was Britain's highest authority, and since it involved capturing Kaitō Kid, there was no way Britain would agree to pull them back.
"Kameda-san, I'll do my best to negotiate!"
"If you encounter MI5, don't stop. And under no circumstances let them board the ship!"
The Japanese top brass had already made it clear—Britain must not find out, and definitely not interfere.
The Dragon Head had to return home quietly.
Kameda answered with a heavy tone.
"Yes, Kawasaki-san!"
After hanging up, Kameda looked up at the surveillance screens. There were just too many tourists on this cruise, and none of them seemed suspicious.
"Kaitō Kid, where are you hiding!"
Out on the vast sea, Harrison and his team were riding speedboats, following the route given by the port authority, chasing straight after the cruise ship.
[MI5 really has gone crazy trying to catch Kaitō Kid!]
[God, let's hope the cruise hasn't gone too far!]
[They're risking it all for a salary that barely covers the month—is it worth it?]
[One little speedboat out this far—what if they hit some waves? They'd be fish food in no time!]
[I can feel MI5's rage through the screen!]
This wasn't just about pride—it was about Britain's standing on the world stage!
After more than an hour of relentless pursuit, the lights of the cruise ship finally appeared on the horizon.
Harrison glanced at the route map, confirming that the ship ahead was their target.
When the cruise appeared on the livestream, viewers were hyped.
[Wow! They finally caught up!]
[Kaitō Kid is done for now—he's got nowhere to run on the open sea!]
[No way—they really caught up!]
[These guys are something else. Chased a cruise ship for over an hour by speedboat—and they made it!]
[Is Kaitō Kid really on that ship? What if they've got the wrong one?]
[This is still British waters—they have the right to stop any ship. Even if they're wrong, it doesn't matter!]
About ten minutes later, Harrison switched on the radio channel.
"MT37 cruise ship, this is MI5 from Britain!"
"We suspect a high-profile fugitive is on board. Please stop immediately and cooperate with our investigation!"
On this cruise, over eighty percent of the crew—from the captain down—were Japanese agents.
As soon as they received Harrison's message, they reported to Kameda.
"Commander Kameda, should we respond?"
Kameda, his face tight, spoke coldly, "Don't respond yet."
"How far are we from exiting British waters?"
A crew member checked the navigation screen and brought the radio close.
"Thirty-seven nautical miles left!"
Kameda took a deep breath and replied firmly.
"Got it."
At the cruise's current speed, it would take over an hour to leave British waters. There was no way they could stall that long.
Seeing no response from the cruise, Harrison repeated his message again.
[What the heck? Why isn't the cruise replying?]
[Oh my god! Did Kaitō Kid hijack the ship?]
[Something's off—way off!]
[We're still in British waters, right? This cruise is definitely suspicious!]
[They're totally losing control. Even cruise ships are ignoring them now!]
After calling out twice and getting no answer, Harrison gave the order.
"Catch up with the cruise. Prepare to board by force!"
If they wouldn't cooperate, Harrison would handle it the hard way.
No way could they let the ship leave British waters, and Kaitō Kid absolutely couldn't get away!
Once the speedboats caught up, Harrison made one last call, demanding the ship stop.
Even tourists near the rails of the cruise had spotted Harrison's team by now.
Of course, the agents on board had seen them too and reported it to Kameda via earpiece. freeweɓnøvel.com
"Stop the ship!"
After thinking it over, Kameda ordered the captain to halt.
He knew exactly how much power MI5 had.
And he understood just how determined Britain was to catch Kaitō Kid.
If they didn't stop now, there could be serious consequences.
