Going forward in time, Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko came to the banquet hall in Xiye Building.
Although the banquet has not yet been officially held, many people have gathered in the hall at this time, most of them are elite celebrities in society, dressed in gorgeous clothes, standing together in groups, talking quietly to each other.
"Yuanzi, it feels so peaceful here..."
There was not the lively scene as expected. Looking at the quiet crowd around him, Mao Lilan leaned slightly closer to Suzuki Sonoko, her expression seemed a little nervous.
There were also many ordinary people like Mao Lilan in the hall, but they seemed to be affected by the atmosphere in the hall. Everyone suppressed their voices and did not dare to talk loudly.
"Don't worry, no one will care about this."
Knowing what Mao Lilan was nervous about, Suzuki Sonoko smiled and patted her on the shoulder, deliberately amplifying her voice.
"Come on, follow me. Let's get a glass of wine first."
"Um……"
The appearance of the two people naturally attracted the attention of many people in the hall. After seeing the two of them, one of them left the crowd and walked towards them.
"Good afternoon, Miss Suzuki."
"Huh? Ah, good afternoon, Mrs. Mityu." Suzuki Sonoko looked back and saw that the person coming was none other than Mityu Owada, the new president of Ed Company.
"This should be Detective Maori's daughter, little sister Mao Lilan, right?" Owada Mitsuru looked at the somewhat embarrassed Mao Lilan and asked with a smile.
"Hello, Mrs. Sandong." Mao Lilan said quickly.
The two had met before at Aide's company's party. Of course, they only exchanged a few words and got to know each other.
"Didn't Miss Suzuki come over?" After a brief polite greeting, Owada Mitsuru looked at Suzuki Sonoko and asked.
"Sister and brother-in-law have an interview over with Nanye and will come over after it's over." Suzuki Sonoko replied with a smile.
"I see."
"By the way, Mrs. Sanfu." Suzuki Sonoko suddenly came forward, with a smile on her face, and asked in a low voice: "Is that prince here? Is he also in the hall now?"
"His Royal Highness? Does he mean Prince Philland of the Principality of Lu Weino?"
"Yes, yes! That's him, that's him!" Suzuki Sonoko nodded repeatedly.
"Ah, if it were him..."
Looking behind Suzuki Sonoko, he glanced at the situation at the main entrance of the hall. Owada Mitsuru raised the corners of his mouth slightly with a smile on his face.
"It seems that I just arrived..."
"well?"
Suzuki Sonoko was stunned when she heard this, and quickly looked back, just in time to see a man with blond hair wearing a dark green dress walking in.
The man is of medium build, slightly feminine in appearance, and looks to be no more than twenty years old.
With his handsome appearance, Philland attracted the attention of many people as soon as he entered the banquet hall.
"Good afternoon everyone, I am honored to be invited by the Moriyama Consortium to attend the first anniversary meeting of Clover Villa."
Without making any pause, Philland walked through the crowd and went straight to the display cabinet surrounded by isolation tape in the center of the hall, and bowed to everyone.
"Whether it is economic, political or cultural, my motherland, the Principality of Luweino, is a weak country. But fortunately, even in the face of such a weak Luweino, God has given us an incomparable beauty. A treasure, a treasure that can shine all over Lu Weinuo - the blue sea."
Inside the display cabinet is a very beautiful sapphire. This gem is edged with silver jewelry. The silver decoration and dark blue gemstones give people a noble and elegant aesthetic.
"In the 16th century, our ancestors of the Principality of Luwino unearthed it for the first time when building the capital. It is world-famous for its sapphire, which is as famous as the blue sapphire of the Kingdom of Andrew..."
"Xiaolan Xiaolan! He is so handsome, he is so handsome!" In the crowd, Suzuki Sonoko held Mao Lilan's hand and shouted excitedly.
Fortunately, she still remembered the occasion here, so she suppressed her voice more or less and did not shout out loud.
"Yes, yes..." Mao Lilan looked at her helplessly, and nodded with a wry smile.
If Sonoko didn't like to be a nymphomaniac so much, she would definitely have found a boyfriend long ago...
"Handsome and elegant! Simply the most perfect man in the world!"
"Huh? How does that compare to Mr. Qingshui?" Mao Lilan said teasingly, looking at her continued "illness".
If she remembered correctly, this most perfect name, Sonoko, had also been used to describe Mr. Shimizu before...
"Oh, brother-in-law, he is unique and incomparable." Suzuki Sonoko immediately changed his face and replied.
"……well?"
While the two were talking, Philland's introduction to the Blue Sea had come to an end.
"Then finally, I will read to you the letter written by my father, King Peru II of the Principality of Luvino..."
With that said, Philland took a gorgeously decorated letter from the butler behind him and opened it.
However, just after taking a look at the contents of the letter, Philland's expression suddenly changed.
"What's going on?" Suzuki Sonoko, who had been paying close attention to him, asked doubtfully.
"This, this is not a letter from my father!" Philland said in a panic after quickly glancing at the letter.
"What?"
"what happened?"
Suddenly, whispers filled the banquet hall.
"Prince Philland of the Principality of Luvino has personally announced that at this first anniversary banquet, I will come to personally greet the Blue Sea and sign... Kaitou Kidd?!"
"Is it a warning letter from Kidd?!"
"Will Lord Kidd show up this time too?!"
In an instant, the hall was buzzing with excitement, and everyone was having an enthusiastic exchange about Kidd's notice letter.
Behind Philland, the old man who looked like a butler hurriedly stepped forward and whispered: "Your Highness! I heard that this jewel thief in Japan has never failed. Do you need me to inform the guards here and stop the Blue Sea immediately?" exhibition?"
"No, absolutely not!"
However, Philland firmly rejected the steward's proposal, speaking righteously.
"I am the prince of the Principality of Lu Weinuo. How could I succumb to a thief who steals gems! The Blue Sea is Lu Weinuo's national treasure! I stand here with the honor of my motherland on my back!"
"Your Highness..."
"Of course, we can't completely rely on the guards here for this matter. Quick, mobilize all my personal guards around here, and then go find the person in charge here and ask them to tell me all about the security situation!"
"yes!"
"Well, I leave it to you."
Watching the old butler leave, Phil Rand...or rather Kuroba Kaito's lips raised slightly.
[Haha, everything is under control, this blue sea, I can just...]
"boom!"
Suddenly, there was a deafening loud noise outside, causing the whole building to shake twice.
[What’s going on with this voice? What's going on outside? 】
"Everyone! No one is allowed to move!"
Before Kuroba Kaito could react, a group of strong men wearing camouflage uniforms and holding guns rushed in and shouted at everyone in the hall.
