Conan: What's wrong with my Yan Shuangying's painting style?

————Regret, I regret it.

However, there is no medicine for regret in life. At this point, even if he regrets, it is useless. All he can do now is to think about how to proceed on this path.

If you are using a satellite phone, contact other partners in Southeast Asia in advance.

Then call the police, drag him over until the police arrive, and then ask those partners to send people to replace him. If you are lucky and the officials here are a little greedy, this approach may work.

However, the Merchant of Death himself did not trust his so-called partners.

Every businessman is someone who can do anything for profit. If he is killed in Hakodate, his original territories and businesses will become ownerless and become the cake of other arms dealers.

Is it really possible that those former partners would send people to rescue him as he planned?

If he dies, his partners can still get the profits from the transaction. Would he really spend more effort to earn less profit and save a competitor?

Brian D. Kadokura felt a little hesitant.

However, he realized that there was probably no other way to go now. It was only a matter of time before the guy outside, whose skills were not inferior to Webster's, would come in with a team of people.

Now, every minute he hesitated, his chance of survival would be reduced by one minute.

Therefore, Brian gritted his teeth, picked up the satellite phone, and sent a message to his former partner, promising him considerable benefits and asking him to send someone to Hakodate to find someone to replace him at a cost.

Then, without thinking, he pulled out his cell phone from his pocket and prepared to call the Commissioner of the Hong Kong Police Department.

Let the rather greedy chief of the Hong Kong Police Station immediately send someone to notify the people at the Hakodate Police Headquarters, and ask them to send people over to solve the problem on the freighter.

However, before Brian could dial the number of the Chief of the Hong Kong Police Department, gunshots were heard.

Moreover, this time the gunshot was quite close, closer than he expected. Even though the Death Merchant had encountered many life-and-death threats, his face turned pale.

He subconsciously loosened his grip on the phone, and the phone fell to the ground, with the screen cracked.

But Brian no longer cared.

He realized that the strength of the armed team of unknown forces was even higher than he expected, and the man who quickly killed the mercenary team in the surveillance footage was probably even stronger than Webster.

Even if he asked the Hong Kong Police Department to call the Hakodate Police Headquarters now, he would definitely not be able to hold on until the police officers there arrived.

————Other people may not know the current situation of the Hakodate Police Headquarters, but Brian cannot be unaware of it. The reason why he asked Webster to take action tonight was because he knew that the Hakodate Police Headquarters would have a major operation tonight.

It is highly likely that that group of people are too busy to deal with Webster's convoy from the city to the suburbs.

Asking them to deal with the emergency at Hakodate Port, which is even further away, would be even more difficult. By the time they get here, I'm afraid everything will be over...

call out----

The bullet instantly pierced through the eyebrows of the last mercenary at a fire point not far away.

The mercenary fell to the ground unconscious before he could react to what had happened.

The codename killer of the mysterious organization, Banjiu, expressionlessly took off the magazine of the pistol in his hand, pulled out another magazine from his belt, and put it into the magazine.

The peripheral assassin team beside him had lost most of its members at this moment.

This was a necessary sacrifice for a strong attack. After all, the enemy had set up a staggered firepower network. If no one went out to serve as a target, even he would not be able to force a frontal breakthrough.

However, now that a breakthrough has been made, it will be very easy to break through.

"The teams on the deck are starting to press down, attacking from the front and back, and ending the battle quickly."

Turtledove gave the order.

Chapter 433 Are all the Phantom Thieves of the New Era Monsters?

The mysterious organization's peripheral killer team has begun a two-pronged attack at this moment.

The defense line of the mercenary team arranged by the Death Merchant is already in danger.

At this moment, Brian D. Kadokura realized that death was now extremely close to him, even only one step away, and could happen to him at any time.

His hands trembled unconsciously.

Even though he had experienced real-life gunfights before, and at his age he was still brave enough to personally shoot and kill people, but now that he was facing a life-threatening crisis again, his body couldn't help but tremble.

The fear of death is always there.

No one is not afraid of death, especially Brian, who has made a lot of money through arms trafficking. If he were not greedy for the Axe River treasure and wanted to make more money and ran to a dangerous place like Hakodate, he would be even more afraid of death.

One of the most tragic things in the world is that people die without spending their money.

Brian had lived a life of wealth and glory in the second half of his life, but now he was about to die inexplicably on a cargo ship here. He could not accept this outcome no matter what, so even if the chances of winning were slim, he would still give it a try.

He stretched out his hand, pulled out a modified pistol from his arms, pulled the bolt, and opened the safety.

At this moment, he could no longer stay out of the matter and continue to let other mercenaries move forward while he did nothing. If he continued like this, he would only be waiting to die. Instead of waiting to die here, he might as well fight to the death and find a way out.

However, Brian had just made up his mind and was about to rush out to fight the armed group outside.

A creaking sound was heard at this moment.

It was not the sound of a door opening, but the sound of metal friction as someone removed the iron window at the exit of the ventilation duct on the other side. A figure rushed out from the exit of the ventilation duct and fell to the ground.

The figure was wearing a snow-white magician's uniform, a white hat, and a pair of monocles.

Even though it was only the first time he saw this person in person, the Death Merchant was still able to recognize his true identity immediately and angrily said his name——

Kaitou Kidd.

A legendary magician known nationwide as Phantom Thief, active in Tokyo, he has been involved in numerous thefts of precious gems and is widely known for his miraculous theft techniques.

But none of this matters. What matters is that this guy stole most of the weapons he had stored here!

"Kaito Kidd, you bastard..."

Brian was filled with anger at this moment.

Regardless of his physical condition and the danger here, he raised his pistol and rushed directly towards this side, with the muzzle of the gun pointed at Kaito Kid, as if he was going to shoot Kaito Kid directly.

However, at this moment, Kaito Kidd also noticed his presence.

A white light flashed across the monocle.

The next moment, the playing card shot out and instantly pierced the muzzle of the modified pistol in Brian's hand, even cutting into part of the muzzle and directly embedding itself in the barrel of the modified pistol.

Seeing this scene, Brian couldn't help but feel a chill on his back.

He looked at Kaito Kidd and found that the magician thief had taken out a poker gun from his clothes at some point, and the poker that just flew out was ejected by Kaito Kidd from the poker gun in a flash.

The power of this poker gun was far beyond his expectations.

Admittedly, a poker gun is not a real live ammunition weapon and cannot do what a real pistol can do, but since it can penetrate into a steel barrel, it means that the sharpness and speed of the poker cards are at least enough to kill people.

In this narrow environment, the lethality of Kaito Kid's poker gun is no weaker than that of a pistol!

Even though it is rumored that Kaito Kidd never uses lethal weapons and has never hurt anyone, no one can say for sure what the real Kaito Kidd looks like. At least Brian does not intend to risk his own life.

His expression changed again and again, and he looked at Kaito Kidd over there and asked in a low voice.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"Are you planning to kill me in addition to stealing my weapons? If that's the case, why haven't you done it yet? What are you waiting for? Are you waiting for me to beg for mercy? If you don't intend to kill me, then why are you still here?"

Kuroba Kaito's gaze fell on the Death Merchant.

It was the first time he met this famous death merchant in Southeast Asia, but he felt that the dangerous and sharp temperament of this man as an arms dealer had faded a lot, as if he had lost his energy and spirit due to successive blows.

However, this is actually a good thing for him.

If the Death Merchant is still such a determined person, then there is a high possibility that he will not care about anything and will fight him to the death. Then not only will his and his father's plans fail, but even the lives of both of them will be in danger.

“…I will make you accept the punishment of the law.”

"For everything you've done in Hakodate, simply leaving is a punishment that would be too light. So, Mr. Kadokura, please surrender yourself after this incident is over."

Kaito Kidd's voice was calm.

However, such a calm voice seemed extremely ironic to Brian.

Are you kidding me? A thief who has committed countless crimes, a complete criminal, is actually trying to persuade him, a criminal, to surrender? This is just a small matter meeting a big one, the pot calling the kettle black!

However, Brian's thoughts turned in his mind.

Because he realized that this was indeed a great opportunity for him.

Although the image of Kaito Kidd in many legends is inconsistent, and his situation is discussed in various materials, there is one thing that will never change——

Kaito Kidd is a well-deserved escape master.

No matter how tight the net is, it is impossible to trap Kaito Kid. Even on the online forums, some people secretly call Kaito Kid the world's number one escape magician.

If he had the help of Kaito Kidd, perhaps he would still have a chance to escape from here.

As for whether or not to turn himself in after escaping…even if he did, what would happen? At worst, he could wait for his partner to send a replacement, or simply sell his power to the FBI or CIA and get a good price.

Brian D. Kadokura's eyes lit up.

He is a citizen of the United States, which means that even if his partner is completely untrustworthy, he will eventually be extradited to the United States for trial, and he has paid full taxes to the IRS.

Just for the sake of taxes, he would not be sentenced to death in the United States, and he might even be able to return to Southeast Asia and make a comeback.

"Since you said so..."

call out----

The bullet whizzed past between the two men.

After the peripheral assassin team he brought was completely wiped out, Banjiu finally broke through the mercenary team's firepower network. Then, he saw Kaito Kidd, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously fired a shot, his heart filled with shock——

Are you kidding me? Is the new generation Kaito Kid a monster? He survived a direct hit to the eye with a sniper rifle?

Chapter 434 Kaito Kidd vs. the Mysterious Organization

Question: A person was hit directly in the head by a sniper rifle bullet when he had nowhere to hide, but he appeared in front of the sniper intact a day later. What might be the reason?

One, the stand-in was killed, two, the dead man came back to life, and three, his monocle was strong enough to protect against sniper rifle bullets alone.

————The real situation is the third possibility, but normal people would never think that the third possibility is likely to happen in reality, especially for Turtledove, who is quite aware of the caliber of his sniper rifle.

If only the material of the monocle could protect against sniper rifle bullets of his caliber.

That only means that the material of this monocle has surpassed the strength and shock absorption ability of any kind of glass he knows. He would believe it even if it was said that a piece of vibranium from the next door was shaved off and used as a coating.

This is too outrageous.
