Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 394 Kaito Kuroba: Dad, help me!

At this moment, Kaito Kuroba has no idea that his legs will be broken sometime in the future, and that his own mother will break them.

But these are all things that will happen in the future. Let your future self worry about these things!

His current task is to ensure the smooth running of the Suzuki zaibatsu's 60th anniversary celebration opening ceremony. If anything goes wrong, he'll definitely be hunted down!
While Kaito Kuroba was speaking eloquently on stage, Sonoko had already found her mother and told her about the incident.

Upon hearing this, Tomoko Suzuki wasn't flustered at all; instead, she smiled slightly and said, "Hmph! What a bold thief."

"But that's perfect. Let our Suzuki family catch this thief. This will make our Suzuki family even more powerful and influential, and we'll definitely surpass that family to become number one!"

"As for your sister and dad, they're such idiots, they were fooled so easily. They really embarrass me."

However, she didn't blame her husband and eldest daughter too much, after all, they had lived together for so many years and she knew their personalities well.

Anyway, nothing major happened, it's not a big problem.

All I can say is that the entire Suzuki Zaibatsu is carried on Tomoko Suzuki's shoulders; she really can't do without me!
Of course, she wouldn't take action against the counterfeit goods on stage at this time, because that would cause trouble and embarrass the Suzuki conglomerate.

That would make the Ooka Zaibatsu laugh their heads off!
Upon hearing this, Sonoko stuck out her tongue and obediently withdrew.

Since her mother already had a plan, she didn't intend to say anything more, lest she be caught in the crossfire and get a lecture.

After returning to Ran and the others, Sera Masumi asked in a low voice, "Which family did Auntie mention earlier?"

Conan, who was standing nearby, also perked up his ears and listened attentively; he was quite curious about this matter as well.

After all, there aren't many family-owned conglomerates in Japan that can outdo the Suzuki conglomerate.

Could it be that guy?

Conan thought of a surname, but he wasn't sure. However, this family was indeed very prestigious and had produced quite a few important figures.

Upon hearing this, Sonoko looked around and noticed that Ran and the others all had a look of curiosity on their faces. She smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing big. It's just the Ooka Zaibatsu."

"The Ooka Zaibatsu? You mean that big Zaibatsu in Kyoto, the one that produced a prime minister?" Conan asked quickly.

As a detective, he knows not only obscure facts, but also some hot facts, such as this matter.

Upon hearing this, the people around him suddenly understood.

Sonoko said that they were not very clear about the Ooka Zaibatsu, because some Zaibatsu were very low-key, but actually extended their reach into all aspects of life, while some Zaibatsu were very high-profile, and similarly extended their reach into all aspects of life.

This refers to the Ooka and Suzuki zaibatsu.

Between the two, the Suzuki zaibatsu is indeed more prominent, while the Ooka zaibatsu doesn't need to, since their family has already produced a prime minister and other important figures.

And the head of the family who once served as prime minister is still alive!
What? It wasn't liquidated?
Oh, I made a mistake. It's the neighboring building that's being cleared out, not the neon lights.

However, Japan has Graves and Bomberman, making them even more awesome than the neighboring Great Cold Nation!
Sonoko glanced at Conan and nodded, saying, "Little brat, you know quite a lot."

"That's right, it's the Ooka Zaibatsu. I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me for saying it."

"The Ooka Zaibatsu has always looked down on our Suzuki Zaibatsu, thinking we are nouveau riche and bumpkins!"

"So, my parents were really angry, and they wanted to prove them wrong, which is why they held this grand 60th anniversary celebration. But then they ran into this Kaito Kid thing, sigh."

However, in the eyes of the Ooka zaibatsu, the Suzuki zaibatsu was indeed a bunch of bumpkins, no matter how much money they had, because they lacked a solid foundation.

In contrast, the Ooka Zaibatsu has produced many prominent figures, including prime ministers, and now its politicians wield considerable power.

In this respect, the Suzuki conglomerate cannot compare!
Actually, she didn't know much about the Ooka Zaibatsu; she only knew about it from her parents.

After all, she is a daughter, and her sister is also a daughter. Either she gets married, or she finds a son-in-law to live with them, joining the Suzuki Zaibatsu and continuing to control the Suzuki Zaibatsu.

Therefore, she doesn't know much about business matters.

Of course, she knew that Ooka Momiji was the granddaughter of the Ooka Zaibatsu. She was the same age as her, but she didn't live in Tokyo.

Upon hearing this, Conan and Sera Masumi nodded to each other, vowing to stop Kaito Kid and prevent him from messing things up.

For no other reason than to ensure that Sonoko's family's 60th anniversary celebration could conclude peacefully.

After all, Sonoko is their good friend, and she takes great care of them. She invites them to all the good things, takes them out to eat, drink, and have fun, and covers all the expenses. She also has a great personality.

So how could you not help a friend like that!

"It seems like Kaito is really going to get into trouble!" Chikage Kuroba heard Sonoko and the others' conversation and looked worried.

Kuroba Toichi has already offended many people, and now her foolish son is going to offend the Suzuki Zaibatsu. She feels that the Kuroba family bloodline may not be able to be passed down to the next generation.

It might be discontinued in this generation.

"It's alright, I'll go find Kaito and make him stop this festival." Kitahara Natsuyu patted her shoulder, signaling her not to panic.

After all, he's now Kuroba Chikage's man, so naturally he has to help with this little thing. Besides, Kaito is his son, so he has to lend a hand too.

To avoid actually finding his body the next day, that wouldn't do!
"Thank you," said Kuroba Chikage.

"What's our relationship? No need for thanks." Kitahara Natsumi smiled, then said something to the others before leaving.

After Kitahara Natsuhiro left, Yonehara Akiko, Yukiko, and others gathered around and quietly asked what was going on.

However, Yukiko knew what was going on, but she couldn't say it.

Kuroba Chikage couldn't reveal this matter, after all, it would be really shameful to say that her son and husband were both thieves!

She can't bear the shame!

at the same time.

Shiro Suzuki had finished speaking and left the stage; next up was Tomoko Suzuki.

And after Tomoko Suzuki came on stage, she immediately delivered a major piece of news.

That is.
"Everyone has a box in their hand, right?" Tomoko Suzuki said confidently, "Inside are gifts I prepared for you all."

When everyone opened the box, what was inside was a black pearl.

"It is a black pearl, a gift from me to everyone, and also a replica of our Suzuki family heirloom, the Dark Star."

Upon hearing this, everyone gasped as they looked at the box and jewelry in their hands.

The Suzuki conglomerate really has a huge budget!
There are at least three hundred to five hundred guests here, but none of them have a single black pearl. It's truly outrageous! The Suzuki zaibatsu must have spent a fortune on this celebration! This black pearl alone is worth a fortune. After all, it's a gift from the Suzuki zaibatsu, so it certainly can't be a flawed item!

All I can say is that the Suzuki zaibatsu is incredibly wealthy.

It is precisely because they are too rich, too generous, and too high-profile that the Ooka Zaibatsu calls them nouveau riche, bumpkins, and zaibatsu without any foundation.

Black Pearl

Conan looked at the black pearl in his hand, and his cheeks twitched involuntarily.

"The Sonoko family is really generous. They gave everyone a black pearl, even a child like me got one."

"Now that I've accepted the gift from Sonoko's family, I should get to work."

Conan put away the black pearl and then disappeared from the banquet hall, along with Sera Masumi.

At this moment, Akiko Yonehara, Yukiko, and the others couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "A black pearl, and such a big one at that!"

Women all love jewelry, and even people like Yukiko are no exception.

"No wonder Xia Yu said there would be gifts at this banquet, so that's what it was about." Akiko Yonehara sighed.

From birth until now, this black pearl in her hand is the best and most expensive piece of jewelry she has ever seen.

After all, her family is just an ordinary working class, and so is she. Although she has a wealthy boyfriend like Kitahara Natsuyu, she doesn't ask him for gifts; she buys whatever she wants herself.

Therefore, this black pearl can be said to be the most precious gift she has ever received!

That's really generous!

“That’s exactly what I mean,” Yukiko said. “Such a big black pearl must be very expensive!”

"As expected of the Suzuki Zaibatsu, they really know how to spend big." Ai sighed, holding the black pearl and looking at it again and again.

Although she likes handbags, she also likes jewelry, let alone jewelry that she gets for free.

"It seems everyone is quite satisfied with my gift." Suzuki Tomoko, on stage, looked at the reactions of the crowd below with great satisfaction.

This was the effect she wanted from those black pearls; otherwise, why would she have spent so much money?

After all, the Suzuki conglomerate's money didn't just come from thin air.

Of course, this small amount of money is just a drop in the ocean compared to the buildings that the Suzuki zaibatsu is about to demolish or build.

Just as Suzuki Tomoko was speaking on stage, Kitahara Natsuhiro had already come backstage and caught Kuroba Kaito!
"President Suzuki, where are you headed?" Kitahara Natsuhiro asked, looking at Kuroba Kaito, who was disguised as Suzuki Shiro, with a half-smile.

Looking at Kitahara Natsumi who appeared in front of him, Kuroba Kaito was already sweating profusely, but he still pretended to be very calm, and even his voice did not tremble at all: "Who are you?"

"Oh, I remember now, you're Kitahara Natsumi, the one my daughter mentioned, right?"

"Hello, I am their father, Shiro Suzuki!"

Hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu's lips twitched: "Still pretending?"

"Then let me ask you, there was something Sonoko did back then, and her mother really liked it, so what was that thing?"

"Since you are Sonoko's father, then you must know?"

"."

No, I don't know anything about this!
Although he had disguised himself and infiltrated the Suzuki Manor, it was only recently. He knew nothing about what had happened in the past, so there was no need to ask him; he simply couldn't answer!
Moreover, he doesn't dare to run away now. If he does, Kitahara Natsuyu will definitely go home with his mother, catch him there, and give him a good beating.

so.
"Alright, I am Kaito Kid. What exactly do you want?!" Kaito Kuroba said in a low voice, "You and Mom already beat me up last time, and now you're doing it again?"

"Besides, I'm not going to get involved in your and Mom's affairs anymore, so don't interfere in mine!"

"I'm doing this for your own good!" Kitahara Natsuyu said with a pained expression, "Do you know that if I hadn't come to find you, you would have made a terrible mistake!"

"Huh? What big mistake? Didn't I perform very well just now?"

As a magician, and a perfectionist at that, he wouldn't allow his performance to have the slightest flaw, so his impersonation of Shiro Suzuki was absolutely perfect.

This applies to both her appearance and her speeches.

Of course, that's what he thinks.

However, some people around them can still tell the difference, such as Kuroba Chikage!
"Here's what happened," Kitahara Natsuhiro told Kuroba Kaito what Sonoko had just said.

Upon hearing this, Kaito Kuroba was already breaking out in a cold sweat.

He was wearing a human skin mask, so you couldn't see the cold sweat on his face, but his face was already covered in sweat.

"Damn it, I've actually gotten involved in the power struggles of the conglomerates. People can really die here!" Kaito Kuroba cursed under his breath.

He's Kaito Kid, after all. He's seen a lot, so he knows that the struggles between conglomerates are incredibly bloody.

If he causes the Suzuki zaibatsu to make a huge fool of themselves in this situation, he's definitely doomed.

Given the financial resources of the Suzuki conglomerate, offering a bounty of ten million or even one hundred million US dollars on him would be no problem at all.

Because the Suzuki zaibatsu is really rich!

If that's really the case, then he's definitely doomed.

No one can resist the allure of money; if someone can, it's simply not enough.

Therefore, if he were put on the bounty list, his fate would likely be certain death.

"Looks like you're scared after all!" Kitahara Natsuhiro laughed.

“Of course,” Kaito Kuroba said irritably. “I can’t see or touch those guys, so I’m not afraid of them. But the Suzuki Zaibatsu is right in front of me. They’re the overlords of Tokyo. If I mess with them, I wouldn’t have enough lives to live!”

Every human leaves a trace, and Kaito Kid is no exception.

Therefore, he will be found.

"So, I've already cleaned up your mess," Kitahara Natsuyu said, patting his shoulder and pointing to the side.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

He turned his head and saw a short-haired, beautiful woman walking towards him!
