Ke Xue: Mastering Observation Haki at the start

Upon hearing this, Ai Haibara resembled a miniature steampunk princess...

Chapter 172 Conan: I'm Here to Stir Up the Fire

At dusk, the afterglow of the setting sun spilled across the earth, casting a long shadow over Jia Chen.

Because of his height, his shadow is longer than that of an average person.

At the seaside... an extremely large cruise ship stands on the sea, like a giant whale, quietly floating.

At the distant cruise ship entrance, many police officers were standing there, checking tourists.

Jia Chen glanced at the text messages on her phone.

Kaito Kuroba has infiltrated the group, wanting to give himself a surprise.

He didn't pay any attention and moved closer to the cruise ship.

The police officer conducted the routine check, but it was just a quick glance at the body shape.

As Kaito Kid imagined, he would be left behind for a detailed examination.

He took out his invitation from his pocket, checked it, and then walked into the banquet hall.

"Wait..." a voice called out.

A middle-aged policeman with a small mustache walked over and asked with a suspicious look, "Have we met somewhere before?"

He always felt that the other person was out of place with the people around him. His tall figure was dressed in a black trench coat, which perfectly accentuated his straight posture.

In the setting sun... its sturdy frame evokes images of steel and city walls.

The most striking feature was his calm, even indifferent, eyes, which added to his icy demeanor.

Most importantly, it gave Officer Nakamori a subconscious sense of danger.

And...it looks a lot like Kaito Kid had bone augmentation surgery at a plastic surgery clinic.

“We met at the Suzuki Museum last time,” Jia Chen said. “My name is Jia Chen.”

"Hello." Officer Nakamori's lips twitched, sensing that the atmosphere around him was somewhat cold. "My name is Nakamori Ginzo. Could you please introduce yourself? It's a necessary procedure."

"Just an ordinary person." Jia Chen stroked the old man's chin, recalling his own identity, "An ordinary person who inherited billions, and also a friend of Yuanzi."

He hadn't expected that Nakamori Ginzo would doubt him. How could someone nearly two meters tall look like Kaito Kid?

"Oh...I see." Nakamori Ginzo said with a serious expression.

Although what the other person said was infuriating, every time I met their calm gaze...

I always unconsciously become serious.

"You can go in now." Nakamori Ginzo still had some doubts.

The other person's demeanor is somewhat similar to that of Kaito Kid, but there's not much that can be done about it.

He was just a police officer; he didn't have the authority to leave guests outside.

Moreover, this was a banquet hosted by the Suzuki Foundation.

Jia Chen nodded and entered the banquet.

As soon as they entered the banquet, streams of soul power began to flow from a primary school student wearing a blue suit and shorts.

Jia Chen absorbed the soul power with satisfaction, found a seat, ate the banquet dishes, and opened the panel.

Soul Power: 300

This is the recent soul power, plus the soul power from Conan and Gin.

Having already mastered enough Observation Haki, Gachen didn't hesitate for a moment and poured all his soul power into Armament Haki.

In an instant, a mysterious and profound feeling resurfaced in my mind.

Click...

Jia Chen's body was struck as if by lightning, and tiny specks of blood flashed in his pale red pupils.

Because of the significant enhancement of Armament Haki, the muscles in his body seemed to be tearing, and his blood was boiling involuntarily.

A few minutes later... Jia Chen felt that the restlessness seemed to have stopped.

He raised his hand and clenched his fist; after this enhancement of his Armament Haki...

He felt that his physical strength had increased to another level.

This is a bit outrageous. His physical level is comparable to that of Makoto Kyogoku, or even a level higher.

Improving again is extremely difficult, I never expected...

Now it has been unexpectedly improved, and the hardness of Armament Haki has not increased significantly.

However, the number seems to have increased significantly.

In short, the Armament Haki-wrapped liquid used to resemble a small snake... but now it can transform into a giant one.

Secondly, when all the special effects are activated... the entire body is enveloped in Armament Haki, like giant...

It can also be contracted and controlled... just like a part of the body.

This is a bit outrageous; the art style has completely changed.

Hunger followed immediately, and Jia Chen reached out, grabbed a sushi, and stuffed it into his mouth...

"Hey, Gachen, you're here too?" Conan spotted Gachen, who was eating and drinking heartily, while he was wandering around.

He had just noticed Jia Chen's arrival. There was no other reason than that he was too short, and when he wandered around, all he could see were long, thick legs, which greatly obstructed his view.

However... the other person ignored him and continued eating.

Three minutes later, after finishing all the food on the table, Jia Chen turned to Conan and asked, "I was a little hungry just now, do you want some?"

Conan: "..."

Why has Brother Jiachen turned out like this after just a few days?

Where has the elegant dining style of the past, reminiscent of ancient nobles, gone?

It's like they haven't eaten for days...

"No, no need." Conan shook his head, clearing his mind of the strange thoughts, and asked with some excitement, "Is Kaito Kid also here to catch him?"

He clearly remembered that Gachen Gege and Phantom Thief Kid had several encounters.

And they were all escaped by Phantom Thief Kid.

Given Jiachengege's assertive personality, he definitely won't let the other party off the hook.

"And that guy looks down on detectives and police officers, he's really despicable!" Conan noticed that Jia Chen was thinking and continued, "He sent a notice today to come and take away the Dark Star, this is the best time to catch him!"

If Gachin really is here to capture Phantom Thief Kid, then the other guy is in big trouble...

I recalled the fierce battle between Gachen Gege and Kyogoku Makoto.

Conan felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

“Not interested,” Jia Chen refused. “I’m here to help a friend named Hei Yu.”

Conan paused, his glasses reflecting an unscientific white light, and looked down, seemingly lost in thought.

At this moment, the Suzuki family began their speech on the stage.

The speaker was Shiro Suzuki, Sonoko Suzuki's father.

Jia Chen sat calmly in his seat and listened.

The other party recounted the history of the Suzuki Group's rise to prominence, from being a small entity to becoming the number one conglomerate, highlighting how difficult it was, and concluded by expressing sincere gratitude to everyone who had been invited.

The entire explanation took less than five minutes, and it covered all the key points. The tone emphasized the guest's prestige, which naturally made people feel good about the Suzuki Group.

Even if the speaker is not the real Shiro Suzuki, but a fake "Kaito Kid".

It's still pretty good, though.

After the speech, Shiro Suzuki's wife, Tomoko Suzuki, dressed in a black dress, slowly walked to Shiro Suzuki's side.

She wore a gemstone around her neck, and her skin, thanks to her well-maintained appearance, was as white as ivory and milk, making her look every bit the noblewoman.

"I want to tell everyone," Tomoko Suzuki said after taking the stage and picking up the microphone, "that I have come up with a plan to deal with a certain overconfident thief."

After saying that, he picked up the small box in his hand and gave one to everyone who boarded the ship.

However, it cannot be opened according to regulations.

“Now, please open the boxes and see what’s inside,” Tomoko Suzuki said.

Jia Chen took out a box from his trench coat pocket, opened it with his thumb, and inside lay a bright black pearl.

Although not real dark stars, the craftsmanship is extremely exquisite. They are made of real diamonds, and each fake one is worth a fortune.

"Could this be???" a guest nearby couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

The same question arose in the minds of everyone present.

A bold, almost unbelievable guess surfaced in my mind.

Chapter 173 Everyone seems strange to me now.
