Chapter 298: Kaitou Kid's reputation must not be lost!

Ekoda, Blue Parrot Billiard Bar.

In the staff lounge, Kuroba Kaito sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, supporting his chin with one hand, watching the TV.

The TV channel was NTV, and a beautiful female host was walking inside the Beika Museum, introducing the situation of the Suzuki conglomerate's jewelry exhibition hall.

"According to the staff, after the jewelry exhibition begins, the most anticipated top-quality ruby of this exhibition will be placed on this display stand."

"This ruby is owned by the famous Onmyoji Mr. Akaso Kaze, and is temporarily borrowed by the Suzuki conglomerate for the exhibition. According to expert appraisal, the market price of this gemstone is at least over five billion yen."

"Damn it! Damn guy, this ruby must have been obtained from Shikine Island. This gemstone should have been mine!"

On the sofa, Kuroba Kaito watched the program content and couldn't help but recall the things on Shikine Island back then; the more he thought about it, the more depressed he felt.

If it weren't for that hateful Onmyoji during that trip to Shikine Island, this ruby would definitely have been his!

As a result, because of that guy, not only was the treasure from hundreds of years ago dug away by him, but the dignified Kaitou Kid was actually framed for stealing the ten billion yen in gold from the Dragon God.

Am I the kind of person who steals gold?

It's really so unjust!

And most importantly, Kuroba Kaito still can't be sure if that ruby is the Pandora he's looking for.

If it is, he must get his hands on it.

Kuroba Kaito was feeling depressed in his heart.

Jii Konosuke walked over from the side and handed Kaito a glass of water.

Kuroba Kaito continued to stare at the TV, his eyeballs rolling twice.

"Mr. Jii, tell me, can we steal this ruby~｀?"

"Uh, this..."

A bead of sweat hung on Jii Konosuke's forehead.

He knew everything about Kuroba Kaito suffering losses at Akaso Kaze's hands several times in a row.

That Onmyoji is not an ordinary person.

"With Young Master's ability, wanting to steal a gemstone is naturally easy."

Jii Konosuke tried hard to weigh his words, avoiding hurting Kuroba Kaito's self-esteem.

"However, Young Master, that ruby belongs to that Onmyoji, right? I always feel that he is a bit strange; if you go to steal his ruby, you might encounter some unfortunate things."

"Why don't you spend some money and ask him to appraise the gemstone for you; I think that should be easier."

After Jii Konosuke finished speaking, Kuroba Kaito's face looked very bad.

Fine! Every time he met Akaso Kaze before, he seemed to have been pitted very miserably.

However, what does it mean to ask him to spend money to beg Akaso Kaze to take a look at it for him?

"Mr. Jii, do you mean to ask me to bow my head and admit defeat to that guy?"

Kuroba Kaito roared unhappily, "Do you think that if I don't beg him, I won't be able to get that ruby?!"

"I didn't mean that."

Jii Konosuke smiled and waved his hands, "I just think it's simpler that way. If you go to steal it, what if you run into that Onmyoji again..."

Kuroba Kaito recalled the various things in the past, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.

Indeed, the thought of possibly going head-to-head with Akaso Kaze made him feel a bit empty inside.

Or, should I just forget it?

Anyway, no notice was issued.

Just pretend I didn't see that news...

That guy doesn't look like the type to collect gemstones. ===== CHAPTER 300 =====
