Stay away from Conan.

The tremors at the Twilight Villa were not like an earthquake, a shaking that came from afar and carried the power of nature, but rather a more direct tremor emanating from the villa itself.

"earthquake?"

Almost instinctively, when faced with this situation, someone in the crowd immediately exclaimed in surprise, and the atmosphere at the scene immediately descended into chaos.

But at times like this?
An earthquake? What a coincidence! Right after that damn guy said, "It's about time"?
At that moment, Gin's face instantly darkened, and he almost immediately concluded that this must be a trap set by the owner of that mysterious voice! A grand scheme to bury everyone present, along with this villa that held a huge secret!

"It's not an earthquake! It's a trap! Get out of this house!"

Despite his reluctance at the sight of these mediocre people present, Gin still managed to shout sharply, his voice piercing through the noise, in an attempt to stabilize the situation.

Then, without hesitation, he rushed towards the hall exit, and Vodka followed closely behind. Since the hall they were in wasn't far from the entrance, it didn't take long for them to reach it.

I pushed the door open; it wasn't locked.

Suddenly, as the door was pushed open and the light from outside shone into the twilight villa, the people in the hall who had been somewhat at a loss quickly came to their senses and began to prepare to run outside.

Many of the older people, who had been desperately seeking the truth about "immortality" just moments before, were now consumed by fear of imminent death and had no time to consider the frenzied outward surge of desire.

In addition, because of the huge golden clock in the hall, many people still coveted it. However, given the current situation, they had no time to spare for this enormous treasure. Therefore, those who had designs on it had no choice but to give up for the time being.

Thus, almost without hindrance, despite the large number of people inside the Twilight Villa, there were absolutely no incidents on the short stretch of road from the hall to the outside. Soon, everyone had escaped the villa, and once they stepped onto the ground outside, the source of the enormous tremor was felt exceptionally clearly by everyone—

That was definitely not the tremor from a normal earthquake, but rather...

Gin and the others, who were the first to run out of the villa, were the first to notice the problem and turned to look at the huge Twilight Villa.

Clearly, it was the villa itself that was trembling!
However, since it wasn't an earthquake, and I didn't feel any explosion, what exactly was this tremor...?

As a result, many of the people who had escaped had calmed down and gathered outside the Twilight Villa, looking at the huge building with doubt. They all vaguely sensed something and realized that the tremors of the villa had not intensified over time to the point of being able to destroy the building structure immediately.

After continuing for about ten seconds, under everyone's watchful eyes, as if countless rusty fragments were falling off, some materials on the walls of the Twilight Villa suddenly cracked and peeled off due to the tremors, while large chunks of the exterior decorations also began to fall down.

But as these layers peeled away, what was revealed was not brick or concrete, but a material that shimmered with a dark, heavy luster under the flickering light.

"Then...what is that?"

Looking at the scene before them, as more and more of the building's "true form" was revealed, the material—obviously uniform, dense, and shimmering with a metallic sheen under the light—was exactly the same color as the clock they had seen in the annex's lobby after it fell, revealing its true form. This led everyone present to a huge conjecture—

Is it possible...

"Gold...?" Incredibly, someone exclaimed the possibility first, and then everyone's minds recalled the mysterious man's description of the treasure on the phone: "far beyond imagination"—

Indeed, only gold of this scale can be considered far beyond imagination; otherwise, no matter how huge the gold clock is, it is still not considered rare.

So, under these circumstances, some people were already getting restless. While everyone else was either frantic or silent, some people took action immediately, running towards their vehicles, seemingly wanting to leave the area immediately and call for help.

After all, what can the people in this enormous golden palace do?
However, before the man could reach his vehicle, he suddenly heard a sound like a propeller spinning, and then saw a model resembling a helicopter fall straight down from the sky and land on the hood of his car.

Thus, the person who witnessed this scene was inexplicably puzzled, and then, in the next moment, a flash of light appeared, followed by an explosion—

The helicopter model exploded violently, blowing open the hood of the car in front of it and almost destroying its engine.

Immediately, with the sound of the explosion, the crowd, who had been captivated by the true appearance of the Twilight Villa, were drawn to the commotion and looked over to see the car that had exploded—

"This is……"

Looking at the destroyed car, Gin's heart tightened, realizing that things were indeed not going to stop there. Before they could react, another model helicopter suddenly flew above them, and as if the model helicopter had a megaphone attached to it, Gao Yuan's voice rang out again—

"What's wrong? I never said you could leave. Faced with such a golden mansion, a treasure beyond measure that even Karasuma Renya hadn't discovered, aren't you going to stay and take a look?"

Thus, the group, bewildered by the sudden appearance of the model airplane, were now struggling to process the many unforgettable sights they had just witnessed, and seemed only now beginning to realize—

The person behind the scenes who gathered them here was definitely not just there to expose the organization's secrets.

The tremor just now didn't seem to be this person's doing, but it's clear that this person knew exactly how the treasure would ultimately be revealed to everyone, and then...

This person has a bomb, and...

This enigmatic airplane model?

Gin stared at the model airplane before him, his eyes scrutinizing, and then, with keen insight, he noticed something amiss—

There's a camera on this model, and something that looks like a plastic bomb is hanging on it!

"Of course, you're not the only ones who aren't allowed to leave, you're one of them too... Rum!"

As Gao Yuan's voice followed, far outside the Twilight Villa, in front of the car Rum was in, a model helicopter landed on the hood of the car Rum was riding in... (End of this chapter)
