The guests at the scene did not pay attention to Masaaki Nishikawa's speech, but focused their attention on the darkness above the crystal pillar.
"What is this? It's pitch black..."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu asked the people around her in a low voice.
Looking over it with her eyes, there seemed to be something above the crystal pillar, but she couldn't see it clearly. It was pitch black, and she thought it was surrounded by a black mist.
The glass of the dome was obviously transparent, but not a single bit of moonlight or starlight shone in, making it seem a bit depressing.
"It seems to be a big black diamond, but I can't see clearly..."
Busujima Saeko frowned. She didn't know why, but this black diamond gave her a very bad feeling.
"You spend so much effort just to show us something? It seems that Nishikawa Jewelry is no longer good!"
Nakiri Erina said the same, she couldn't appreciate the black diamond either.
"This diamond is really big, but why is it black? It doesn't look pleasing to the eye!"
Suzuki Sonoko also shook her head.
If it were any other color, even light or colorless, and with such a big size, the diamond in front of you would be a priceless treasure, but this diamond is black. Although black diamonds seem to be equally valuable, in a certain It was also popular in the period, but now not many people like black gemstones, and the few black diamonds that have existed in history seem to have unknown legends. It is really impossible to regard such a black diamond as a treasure. Problem?
Suzuki Sonoko expressed confusion.
"Yan Kai" pushed up her glasses and said nothing, mainly because she had nothing to say.
Kasumigaoka Shiu and others were indifferent to the black diamond above the crystal pillar. They thought it was an ugly thing and were disappointed after seeing it. But some people didn't think so. No, many people didn't think so.
"This is...how beautiful!"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu heard a middle-aged man murmur next to her, staring directly at the black diamond on the crystal pillar.
Why? Are you blind?
Kasumigaoka Shiyu looked at the middle-aged man in shock, wondering why he said it was beautiful even though it was an ugly thing like black charcoal?
"Yeah, it's so beautiful, it feels like I have it as my own!"
Before Kasumigaoka Shiyu was completely shocked, there was another woman beside her looking at the black diamond with a look of fascination.
Not only these two people, Kasumigaoka Shiyu found that there were people around him who behaved similarly to the two of them.
ha? Is there something wrong with my eyes? But that’s not right, Saeko and Erina don’t think that diamond is beautiful either! Even if you want to show your support, this performance is too hard, right?
Kasumigaoka Shiyu felt something was wrong, and the people around her seemed to have lost their minds.
Then Kasumigaoka Shiu soon discovered that not only the guests around her, but most of the guests on the entire third floor were extremely enthusiastic about the black diamond on the crystal pillar, and some even directly interrupted Masaaki Nishikawa's speech. , very rudely offered 20 billion to buy this black diamond.
Even from a long distance away, Kasumigaoka Shiyu could clearly feel the desire for possession in that man's eyes, and the sky-high price he offered shocked Kasumigaoka Shiyu.
Twenty billion yen? Even an ordinary listed company can have so much money with all its assets combined? There is a high probability that there is none, but in the end, this person opened his mouth and asked, "Isn't this money money anymore?"
The person who offered 20 billion yen to buy the black diamond, Kasumigaoka Shiu, had some impressions. He seemed to be the president of a large insurance company. Kasumigaoka Shiu had seen him on the news. It was he who started the business after his company had an accident. The press conference bowed and apologized to the people.
I have to say that the man's bowing posture was really standard. Kasumigaoka Shiyu even curiously took a protractor and measured it on the TV screen. No more, no less, exactly ninety degrees.
However, the compensation of 30 million yen was not paid for various reasons, as if the company would go bankrupt without the 30 million yen, but the 20 billion yen to buy diamonds can be spent casually. Is it out?
Although Kasumigaoka Shiyu doesn't think these insurance companies have any integrity at all, this is too shameless!
The asking price of 20 billion yen did not cause much disturbance at the scene, because this amount of money seems astronomical to ordinary people, but it does not count to the guests who are qualified to be invited to the opening ceremony. How far away.
Masaaki Nishikawa chuckled: "President Yamoku, please calm down. This 'Dark Star' is an heirloom of my Nishikawa family. It is the most important thing to me, Masaaki Nishikawa. Please don't say anything about wanting to pay for it." Such rude words!”
What a heirloom, your Nishikawa family has only been rich for a few years, how can you have such an heirloom?
President Yame, who was rejected by Nishikawa Masaaki, sighed in his heart, but also fell silent and said nothing more.
When it comes to property, although insurance companies are also grabbing money, there is absolutely no jewelry industry that can compete for it. Therefore, President Yamu is not as rich as Masaaki Saikawa. Masaaki Saikawa designated the "Dark Star" as an heirloom of the Saikawa family. Regardless of whether others believe it or not, the implication is that this baby will never be sold. Even if it is sold, it will only be sold at a very high premium. In this way, it is not cost-effective to buy "Dark Star" if you really want money. Might as well hire someone to steal it.
As the president of an insurance company, Yamu can be said to be a man of both black and white. If he can't do it clearly, he can only do it secretly. He knows many thieves who specialize in helping people steal treasures. He originally didn't want to deal with these people. It was related, but now it seemed that he couldn't do otherwise. He really wanted the "Dark Star" so much. With just one glance, President Yame felt that his soul had been captured by this gem.
Although it is unwise to make an enemy of Nishikawa Masaaki, who is richer and more powerful than himself, but... he really can't control himself!
Definitely, gotta get it!
President Yamu lowered his head and remained silent, but it didn't mean that he had let this matter go, but that he was planning to use other methods to get the "Dark Star".
There were other powerful people at the scene who had the same thoughts as Yamu. They stared at the dark mass on the crystal pillar, with red light flashing in their eyes.
Get it, get it, get it at any cost!
Deep in their hearts, the same voice kept echoing, but with the precedent of President Yamu, they also knew that it was impossible to let Nishikawa Masaaki cut off his love in an upright way, so at this time they all began to Plan how to seize the "Dark Star" from Masaaki Nishikawa in a less than honorable way.
"Counsellor, what's going on with these people? Why are you so obsessed with a stone that doesn't look good?"
Feeling that the atmosphere at the scene was extremely strange, Izumida Junichiro asked Yakushiji Ryoko in a low voice. After waiting for a long time, he didn't hear Yakushiji Ryoko's response. He thought he was speaking too quietly, so he couldn't help but increase his voice and said: "Counselor...Counsellor? "
Yakushiji Ryoko turned her head sharply, with a flash of red in her eyes: "Why are you making such a fuss! I'm thinking about something!"
"I'm sorry, counselor!"
Junichiro Izumida shrank. This was the first time he saw Yakushiji Ryoko talking to him with such a cold voice. In the past, even if he made Yakushiji Ryoko angry, Yakushiji Ryoko would always be angry when talking to him, but never before. This cold feeling.
The Yakushiji Ryoko in front of him felt a little strange to Junichiro Izumada, but he still boldly asked: "Counsellor, what are you thinking about now? How do you catch those monster thieves?"
"Of course not!" Yakushiji Ryoko bit her thumb and thought hard, "I'm thinking about how to bankrupt Nishikawa Jewelry. Nishikawa Jewelry's stall is so big, there must be some illegal business... Yes, tax evasion! Nishikawa Jewelry must have some When it comes to tax evasion, we can start with tax inspections! The director of the National Taxation Department has a lot of dirty information in my hands. As long as I threaten him, he will not dare not check the accounts of Xichuan Jewelry. The National Taxation Department alone is not enough. The people from the second search department are also called. I don’t care whether it’s true or framed, we must take down Nishikawa Jewelry!”
Junichiro Izumida broke out in cold sweat, and soon he became sweating profusely. Even he, who had long been accustomed to Yakushiji Ryoko's actions without any taboos, felt that the current Yakushiji Ryoko was a bit crazy.
Nishikawa Jewelry is a large enterprise that occupies a leading position in Japan's jewelry industry. Even if its status is not as good as Yuanyue's restaurant business, it is only the top of a few and not the leader of the entire industry, but it is by no means something that can be obtained casually. She has strong connections from all walks of life. What happened to Ryoko Yakushiji? Why did she suddenly seem to have a mortal enemy with Nishikawa Jewelry?
"Counsellor, has this Nishikawa Masaaki offended you?"
Junichiro Izumida asked carefully.
"No, but I want his 'family heirloom'. Since he refuses to give it to me, I will take it myself!"
The red light in Yakushiji Ryoko's eyes became more and more intense
Izumida Junichiro swallowed his saliva, feeling that the current Yakushiji Ryoko was so strange. In the past, even if Yakushiji Ryoko was unreasonable, Izumida Junichiro believed that she had such kindness in her heart, but now Yakushiji Ryoko looks like He is a devil completely swallowed up by desire.
Junichiro Izumida looked up at the "Dark Star" on the crystal pillar.
First, President Yamoku offered 20 billion yen, and then Yakushiji Ryoko deliberately planned to capture the "Dark Star" even if he defeated Nishikawa Jewelry. Is this dark thing really so magical?
And just when Masaaki Nishikawa was about to continue his speech (show off), the lights suddenly dimmed and a loud voice sounded.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen!"
A beam of light lit up, shining on "Kid" who was wearing a white dress. "Kid" suspended in mid-air bowed slightly to everyone below, showing a gentlemanly demeanor.
"It's 'Kid'! This guy has indeed sneaked in! Everyone, act quickly!"
Ginzo Nakamori said loudly, not forgetting to use "Sure enough" to prove his foresight when calling for manpower.
It shows that skull recognition technology is indeed unreliable. If you want to prevent "Kid" from infiltrating, you still have to rely on his methods!
When Muromachi Yukiko saw "Kid" on the scene, she didn't call her men to take action. Instead, she immediately asked her men to put on night vision goggles. Of course, she did the same.
This time, not only "Kid" came to the opening ceremony, but also "Cat's Eye". If you focus all your attention on "Kid", you will give "Cat's Eye" a chance to succeed.
"I'm sorry to bother you all on such a beautiful night, but..."
"Kid" was suspended in mid-air and was about to give an impromptu speech when the surroundings suddenly became as bright as day, interrupting all his speeches.
"Sorry, I have backup power here."
Nishikawa Masaaki looked at "Kid" coldly.
"Impossible, I even cut off the backup power supply!"
The sudden situation made "Kidd" panic a little. The third floor became brightly lit, and his trick of floating in the air was also exposed. It was nothing more than two wires hanging on his back. Once someone saw him clearly, Well, not only is it not cool at all, but it’s also a bit embarrassing.
Nishikawa Masaaki smiled and said: "Sorry, the architectural drawings I gave to the Metropolitan Police are fake, and the architectural drawings stored in the company are also fake, so of course the backup power room you manipulated is also fake. I have the real architectural drawings. It was burned early in the morning, and now it only exists in the minds of me and the curator.”
"..."
"Kid", Nakamori Ginzo, Muromachi Yukiko, Asaya Mitsuko, Lai Shengli and others were silent.
You actually gave them fake architectural plans to confuse them. Where is the most basic trust between people? This person doesn't talk about... In short, this person doesn't talk about any virtue!
They actually provided extra architectural drawings and asked them to make plans based on the fake drawings. For a while, both the Phantom Thieves and the police felt that they were insulted.
"My treasure will naturally be protected by me. How many times have you, the police, succeeded in protecting the target besides allowing the Phantom Thieves to succeed again and again? How can I trust you to protect my treasure?"
The contempt in Nishikawa Masaaki's words became more and more obvious, and Yakushiji Ryoko frowned.
Very good, I have one more reason to mess with you!
The people in the Metropolitan Police Department are indeed arrogant, but Yakushiji Ryoko can scold her, but others can't!
"Pop!"
Nishikawa Masaaki clapped his hands, and four people in different clothes suddenly appeared behind him.
"I won't bother the police to catch the thief. I have one of my own." Masaaki Nishikawa waved, and the four people crossed Masaaki Nishikawa and walked slowly towards "Kid".
They are not in a hurry. To them, "Kid" is just a little mouse that can be caught easily, so they are not in a hurry at all.
"This is……"
Seeing those four people, Busujima Saeko suddenly frowned.
"What, Saeko, do you know these four people?"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu asked Busushima Saeko.
Busujima Saeko shook his head slightly: "I don't know them, but I can recognize their aura."
Busujima Saeko, who had touched a hint of the mystery of "god" in the "Jade Dragon Banner" competition, could clearly feel the powerful "god" in these four people. It was obvious that these four people were all masters of the Great Swordsman level. Any It's easy for one to defeat him, but these "Kid" and other Phantom Thieves are in danger.
"Don't panic, everyone. These four are the top masters I brought back from Africa. They are just monster thieves. They can be easily captured. Although I have repeatedly warned these monster thieves not to provoke me, but since they don't listen, don't blame me for taking advantage of them." Awesome!"
Nishikawa Masaaki's smile was filled with indescribable pride.
The four masters are slowly approaching "Kid". "Kid" doesn't have the vision of Busujima Saeko, so he can't see how high these four masters are, but he also feels that he is in a very dangerous situation, so he starts to try his best. Think about how to get out.
Although it was very unjust, at this time in the next life, I saw that "Kidd" showed up first, and I felt relieved. Obviously, the wrong architectural drawings and the sudden appearance of the four masters brought too many variables, and forced The risk of taking action is too high. What we have to do now is to preserve ourselves and make a decision before we move...
With a "swipe" sound, the petite figure wearing the "Cat's Eye" action suit swung the rope towards the top of the crystal pillar, but before he could get close, one of the four masters waved a chapter out of thin air, knocking the petite figure away. Fortunately, another figure suddenly jumped out and caught the petite figure, otherwise it might have fallen to the ground.
He could not help but cover his face with tears.
These two stupid cats don’t know how to look at the situation!
"Okay, two more appeared, I see it's a grand opening today!"
Nishikawa Masaaki laughed.
There are four masters sitting in charge. He is not afraid of those monster thieves coming now, but he is afraid that they will not come. The more people come, the stronger the deterrent effect of "Water Moon Palace" will be on those monster thieves in the future.
"It's all four of you who have worked hard today. When the ceremony is over, I will do my best to entertain you all!"
Masaaki Nishikawa spoke to the four masters in English.
The four masters smiled knowingly and nodded slightly. It looked like tonight would be a pleasant night!
While he was smiling, one of the four masters suddenly felt something was wrong. As soon as he felt something in his heart, the dome made of reinforced glass suddenly shattered with a loud noise. As soon as a black shadow hit the four masters, the four masters suddenly felt that something was wrong. The master immediately took action. The one who reacted the fastest pushed out his palms and met the black shadow head-on. His feet sank into the floor, but was pushed back several meters by the black shadow. Finally, he stopped his retreat.
call……
The master's palms were slightly numb, but fortunately he still took the black shadow and did not embarrass himself in front of everyone.
Unexpectedly, before the master was completely relieved, the alarm bells in his heart began to ring crazily again. He didn't even have time to see clearly what the black shadow in his hand was, and more black shadows came towards him like raindrops.
Damn it!
Dozens of black shadows soared into the sky and headed towards the four masters. The four masters resisted one after another, but they caught one, two, but could not catch more. When the first master was caught, After being knocked down by the overwhelmed black shadow, the second one was hit quickly, and then like dominoes, the third, fourth, and soon, all four masters were knocked to the ground by the sudden unknown object. More than twenty huge suitcases buried the four masters hired by Masaaki Nishikawa with a lot of money. Some people could even see blood flowing out of the "mountain of suitcases", and they didn't know it was from the four masters. Which one, or should I say... all of them?
For a moment, the scene was silent.
That’s it, you’re still a master?
Everyone present, including Nishikawa Masaaki, couldn't help but have such an idea in their minds.
