Inside the villa in the middle of the lake.
"More people came than expected."
Asakura stood on the terrace, holding the white handrails with both hands and looking at the scenery in the distance.
"Sir, many people want to visit the gem in advance."
Behind him was a middle-aged man in a white shirt, a neat tuxedo, and a bow tie.
"Can't you refuse?"
At this time, the identity used by Asakura Makoto was one of the multiple alternate identities he created using the art of disguise. By living in seclusion and rarely appearing in front of others, he was able to use occasional disguises to create a person whose experience was complete and completely different from Brandy. Characters who have no intersection and really exist in the household registration.
"This is the identity of the proposer. If you refuse, there may be other troubles later."
Those who know about Pandora's functions are basically high-ranking figures. Although the identity of a collector cannot be associated with brandy, it does not have the convenience of being able to slice people into pieces and sink them into the sea at will.
Many times, we have to deal with favors that are welcomed and sent to us.
"Then limit the number of people and hold an exhibition privately."
Asakura walked away from the terrace, turned around and returned to the room, sitting in the rattan chair. At this time, the maid standing beside him duly handed over tea and snacks.
"Then I'll take care of it first." The housekeeper bowed slightly and returned to the villa.
after awhile.
"The taste of tea has changed, Ayano-san."
Asakura Makoto put the tea cup back on the tray, and his eyes fell on the maid Ayano who was standing quietly aside.
After hearing this, a look of panic immediately appeared on Ayano's face, and she apologized: "I tried to change the method of making tea. If you are not used to it, I can change it back."
Her reaction was exactly the same as that of a servant who had been punished by his employer for poor performance.
"Is that so?" Asakura took a look at the tea in the cup and didn't pursue it. "Then I'll just make tea like this from now on. If you drink the same taste for a long time, it's good to change it."
"Yes." The maid nodded and agreed with trepidation.
"..."
Asakura sighed inwardly. Even if he didn't expose the other party's disguise, he could almost guess the other party's identity. How many people in the original history had mastered this kind of cross-dressing skills and at the same time never forgot about women's clothing?
Asakura took another sip of tea.
The temperature, texture, and taste of this cup of tea are not far different from those made by Ayano herself in every aspect. It can be seen that Kuroba Kaito did make a lot of preparations before pretending.
First, mix among the ordinary maids to find out the situation, and then replace me with my personal maid?
In his spare time, he thought about the process of Kuroba Kaito lurking in.
It hasn't been long since the news spread. He was able to collect information and master his own skills in such a short period of time. This guy's abilities are worthy of his role as the protagonist.
Unfortunately, it seemed that Pandora's appearance made him too excited, and his hasty actions caused some flaws in his performance. The omissions in the taste of the tea should not have appeared.
Asakura Makoto had no intention of pursuing Kuroba Kaito's identity. In the original history, he had to deal with an illegal group alone. He had no shortage of strength, luck, and will. There was no need for Asakura Makoto to worry.
------------------
Time flies when nothing happens.
The undercurrent surrounding the villa in the middle of the lake finally surfaced with the holding of the private exhibition.
"Hey, is this how you treat your guests?"
One day later, a group of guests who came smelling the smell of gems and crossed the lake by boat encountered the first line of defense as soon as their feet stood on the ground.
"This is necessary work to prevent Kaito Kidd."
Toru Amuro, whose pseudonym was Sato Satoru, squeezed past the Nakamori Police Department who was about to step forward, and stared at the blond American William Carter opposite him without being humble or condescending.
Although most of these people are now agents, the person standing behind them is obviously not someone the Zhongmori Police Department can mess with.
】
Toru Amuro's operation seems to be to seize the right to speak, but in fact it is to push the Nakamori Police Department, who usually has some abilities but was defeated when he met Kaitou Kid, into the whirlpool.
"Kaitou Kidd?"
Since reaching cooperation with Brandy on drug development, William Carter has stayed in the island country for a long time as the project leader. He has also heard about the legendary strange thieves who have become famous in the past two years.
"Then there's nothing we can do about it. Is it okay to confirm like this?"
He didn't put on any airs about going to the country. He simply pulled his face to let everyone present see that he was not disguised.
Seeing his actions, other agents could only imitate him and proved their true identity.
Taking advantage of this time, Toru Amuro observed the people coming off the ship.
There were seven people in total, and they were basically all unfamiliar faces, belonging to different forces, and it was not known which of them belonged to Rum.
After passing the Metropolitan Police Department, the housekeeper of the villa was already standing at the door to greet him.
Of course, there are far more people than this number who hope to get a glimpse of the gem's true appearance, but it's obviously impossible for Asakura Makoto to let them swarm up. After setting a threshold and screening, there are only seven people left.
It is unknown how many of the people standing here are real people and how many are disguised by others.
"Mr. Carter, Miss Suzuki, Ms. Bella..."
The housekeeper led the seven people into the door one after another, and when it was about to close——
"Mr. Sato, please come in too."
He looked at Toru Amuro, who was sending an email on his mobile phone, and greeted him from a distance.
Hearing this invitation, Toru Amuro was caught off guard. He did not expect that he would also receive the invitation. He had no desire for Pandora, so his strategy was naturally conservative.
The main purpose is that once he confirms Pandora's location, he will touch it and destroy it.
As for how many political and business bosses may be offended... What does the organization's Bo Bon do have to do with the police's Jiayugu Ling?
"Shall I go in too?"
Putting down his phone, Toru Amuro quickly walked to the housekeeper and asked.
"This is what the master meant. Even if it is a private exhibition, it would be best to have a police officer by the side."
Hearing this, some of the seven people changed their expressions, but Naihe had never seen Gems face to face, so he could only endure it.
"If possible, please bring a few police officers with you," the steward continued.
This suggestion struck a chord in Tohru Amuro's heart.
The police actually also had the idea of fighting for Pandora, and they also sent their subordinates to wait for the opportunity.
This invitation just allowed him to bring his colleagues hidden among the police officers.
Soon, Toru Amuro seemed casual, but in fact he specifically named the four police officers headed by Kiyomoto Masataka, and temporarily formed a team of five people to enter the villa with agents from various forces.
"Everyone, please wait here for a moment."
The butler led the group of people into the restaurant and asked them to sit down at the rectangular dining table. At the same time, the table had already been placed with food and drinks prepared in advance.
"I'm just visiting a gem. Does it need to be so troublesome?"
