My obsession with role-playing seems to have distorted the world's aesthetic.

Chapter 382: Kaito, I didn't expect you to still be such a chuunibyou.

"What? I never expected you to be... you're actually from another organization. What's your purpose in infiltrating that organization?"

Snake was trying to gather some intelligence, and the black panther, pointing a gun at Snake, sneered and said:

"Telling you won't hurt. I infiltrated your organization to obtain Pandora's identification method and the current identity information of that person."

Actually, my initial plan was to wait for you to obtain the Pandora Magic Stone and then take it away directly, but I never expected you to be so shameless.

During my time in this organization, I've thoroughly investigated the inner workings of this organization that uses animal-themed codes. Forgive my bluntness, but I could take on ten leaders like you in this organization.

Black Panther mocked without mercy, and Snake's expression turned somewhat ugly upon hearing Black Panther's taunts.

Who do you think you are, daring to insult the organization?

Although he really wanted to say that, Snake, feeling the gun barrel pointing directly at the back of his head, decided to go with his heart.

"Um... so what's going on here?"

Kaito Kuroba was stunned as he watched the betrayal unfolding below; this was not something he had planned.

"Lord Kaito, please just enjoy this scene quietly. We have already achieved good results in infiltrating this organization."

Upon hearing Kaito Kuroba's voice, Black Panther immediately replied respectfully, while Snake's expression changed as if he had realized something:

"Hmph, Kuroba Toichi, I didn't expect that after all these years of disappearance, you didn't run away but instead infiltrated the organization."

I, Snake, will not reveal any more information about the organization. Trying to get information out of me is wishful thinking.

Snake's words drew a sneer from Black Panther: "Heh, the information we were looking for has already been revealed by you just now."

Actually, compared to you, Snake, what I'm really more curious about is why... you're here, Kaito-sama, one of his most trusted subordinates?

He kicked Snake to the ground and stomped hard on Snake's back with his right foot. He looked up at Kuroba Kaito, the black panther, who was lying on his back on the tree trunk, with a puzzled expression.

I am Kaito Kuroba, a high school phantom thief. During a plan to cut a gem, I encountered a member of a mysterious organization that murdered my father.

However, it seems that the member of that mysterious organization was betrayed and double-crossed by a member of another mysterious organization.

And another member of another organization actually revealed my real name and called me Kaito-sama.

I'm filled with doubt right now, very much so.

Is this reasonable?

How did I, an ordinary high school student, become a cadre of some mysterious organization?

Kaito looked at the black panther in front of him, thought for a moment, and then said, "Hey, why can't I be here?"

Although Kaito Kuroba didn't understand why the other party thought he was an executive and even knew his name, it didn't stop him from taking advantage of the situation.

"Lord Kaito, if I remember correctly... you should be busy chasing that thing right now, how come you have time to meddle in the affairs of Lord ZERO behind me?"

Obtaining the secrets of immortality within the research of the Pandora Gem was an order directly given to me by Lord ZERO.

I don't think you'd want to put Lord ZERO in a difficult position, would you? Lord Kaito, theoretically, shouldn't be in this situation.

The black panther spoke slowly, and Kaito Kuroba quickly gathered his thoughts and answered without hesitation:

"That thing... there's been a bit of trouble in the search for it, but what kind of trouble it is is something you shouldn't know."

Black Panther frowned and asked, "Then, Lord Kaito?"

Why did you happen to be dressed like this in the middle of the night, right at the start of our plan, and then happen to provoke this organization?

"Lord Kaito, what you're doing is putting me in a difficult position."

Seeing the troubled expression on his face as he looked at the clothes, Kaito Kuroba, the Black Panther, revealed a smug smile: "Black Panther, right? What is your purpose in joining the organization?"

What ZERO can give you, Kaito can give you too, and even more than ZERO can give you.

……

Looking at Kaito Kuroba lying on the tree trunk, Xia Qing, controlling the assassin codenamed Black Panther, revealed a complicated expression: "What Lord ZERO can give me, you can't give me."

Within the organization, compared to you, who are primarily responsible for intelligence, Lord ZERO, who is in charge of creating the clone army, is the only one who can truly help me.

???

What the hell?

Upon hearing Black Panther's words, Kaito Kuroba realized he had made a huge mistake earlier; this was bad news.

This organization looks terrifying, a clone army...

Goodness, I thought it was just an ordinary gang, but it turns out to be an organization with formidable military and scientific research capabilities.

These organizations are generally not based in Japan... are they mostly overseas organizations?

Kaito Kuroba began to consider whether he should find an opportunity to report this organization's stronghold here.

In this world of science fiction, it's not surprising that cloning has developed to the point where it can create a clone army.

"Hmph, I have already mastered that thing that can change the world. ZERO is nothing. Once the plan is complete, I can destroy it with a flick of my finger."

Tell me what you want. Aside from that one person, I'm basically the future power center in the organization.

Although Kaito Kuroba didn't know what the Black Panther was talking about or who ZERO was, that didn't stop him from bragging about himself first.

To be honest, Kaito Kuroba feels something is very wrong right now. Who exactly is that executive with the same name as him? Could it be that the executive used his identity when the organization was operating?

However, now is not the time to dwell on these oddities; the most urgent task is to extract more information from the people in front of us.

"You, you actually, you've already..."

Looking at Kaito Kuroba, the black panther was clearly incredulous. Remembering how others perceived him, a strange sense of chuunibyou washed over Kaito, who stood atop the tree trunk and swung his right arm out, continuing his oppressive attack:

"Tell me the truth, Kaito Kuroba, the ruler of the dark side of the future world."

The hatred burning in your eyes... I can feel it.

This hatred stems from a deep-seated pain. I, Kaito Kuroba, will heal this wound for you, in the form of blood.

"Your hatred will be taken on by me, Kaito Kuroba!"

Kaito Kuroba, facing these people who didn't recognize his true self, completely let loose, and Xia Qing, who witnessed this, silently asked the system for a recording.

Chapter 383: The Terrifying Enemy, Regent Wendy and Theresa, the Lord of the Far East Demon Cave!

Kaito, if Aoko saw this cringeworthy recording of you, I'm sure the scene would be hilarious!

Xia Qing felt a surge of pleasure—no, a sense of elation—about tax evasion.

Damn! I think I've seen a side of Kaito Kid that no one else knows. Hmm, he's definitely a total chuunibyou (middle school syndrome) kid.

……

Kaito Kuroba and the Black Panther inside had a subtle expression on their faces, but then, as if they had thought of something, the Black Panther gritted their teeth and said in a low voice:

"If you can help me do that, then betraying Lord ZERO and joining your ranks is not out of the question."

Upon seeing this, Kaito Kuroba smiled. Very well, he wasn't afraid of how big his demands were, but rather that he lacked the desire to fulfill them himself.

"What is it? Tell me."

Looking at the black panther not far away, Kaito Kuroba spoke in a relaxed tone.

"Kanwada is finished!"

Suddenly, the black panther shouted in a grief-stricken tone. Kaito Kuroba, seeing the panther's sudden change in emotion, was momentarily stunned: "Kan...Kanwada?"

At this moment, Xia Qing, who was controlling the black panther's body, thought of a character with the same name as a member of this organization and immediately launched into an impromptu performance.

After the performance, looking at Kaito Kuroba, Xia Qing explained, "That's the name of my hometown. Now, my hometown is facing a crisis of survival."

Seeing the sudden change in his appearance, Kaito Kuroba, the black panther, followed closely behind and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"Wakanda is currently in a time of national crisis, with war raging everywhere. Theresa is interfering in politics, Wendy is committing atrocities, and the lives of its people are in dire straits!"

Black Panther spoke with a sigh, then revealed a look of disappointment, "Citizens of Wakanda, it's time for you to wake up."

"Ah, well, I think I understand. Your homeland is currently at war."

"And in your country, a woman named Theresa interferes in politics, and a woman named Wendy does a lot of bad things, causing widespread suffering?"

Kaito Kuroba, being a top student, quickly understood Black Panther's words and explained them in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

"That's exactly right!"

Upon hearing this explanation, Black Panther's eyes lit up, and he nodded emphatically. At this moment, Kaito Kuroba asked curiously, "Who are Theresa and Wendy?"

Upon hearing Kaito Kuroba's question, Black Panther took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said with a touch of sadness, "Theresa... I really know too little about that person."

"Lord of the Far East Demon Cave"—that was what Lord ZERO called Theresa back then.

The rights of our nation have been completely seized by the ruler of the Far East's demonic cave, who uses money to pave the way and buys people's hearts.

If Theresa only controlled 10% of the power, then the remaining 90% was in the hands of one person.

Seeing the black panther pause for a moment, preparing to catch his breath before continuing, Kaito Kuroba thought for a moment and then offered a complimentary remark: "Oh? By one person? Could it be that wretched Wendy?"

Black Panther nodded and said clearly, "That's right. Wendy's methods are even more ruthless than Theresa's. She directly used me to command the other lords."

?

Dude, can't you talk normally for once?

He mentally scoffed, but without interrupting the atmosphere, Kaito, who felt this didn't fit his character, asked what he was really concerned about: "Using you to command the princes?"

“That’s right, I, Black Panther, am the prince of Wakanda, but… being a prince doesn’t mean I’m just a puppet of Wendy.”

I tried to gather the righteous warriors of Wakanda to march into the capital and kill Wendy, but unfortunately all of them were beheaded by Wendy alone!

Invincible, unyielding, Titi's decapitation—what a terrifying move!

Alas, what a pity. As the prince of Wakanda, I could only watch helplessly as Regent Wendy personally slaughtered fifty righteous warriors.

I have never betrayed Wakanda. In order to rebel against Regent Wendy, I chose to plunge into darkness and forge a thorny path.

Lord ZERO, we made a promise that as long as I completed the task he assigned and retrieved Pandora, he would save my homeland from suffering.

Destroy Wendy's tyranny! Wakanda belongs to everyone, to every resident of Wakanda!

This philosophy...I, Black Panther, will always keep it etched in my heart!
