Chapter 738: You big bully, you only know how to pick on me

"Damn it!"

The man who planted the bombs suddenly hardened his heart. As the police closed in, he lunged and jumped off the overpass, falling toward the roof of a passing bus.

"Oh no!"

Inspector Megure and the group of police officers all rushed to the railing.

Then, everyone froze, each wearing an expression of disbelief.

They saw the criminal suspended in mid-air, half a meter away from the bus, unable to fall any further.

Once the bus roared past, the criminal finally dropped to the ground with a thud.

Before he could even react, the large truck following behind had already run him over.

The police officers watching from above all hissed, drawing in a cold breath.

It looked like there was no saving him.

However, there was not a shred of pity in anyone's heart; instead, they felt a sense of relief.

This guy had blown up so many police officers; he deserved to die!

The criminal's soul flew up from under the wheels, looking around in a daze.

Suddenly, an invisible giant hand grabbed its head and tossed it into a space.

All around were countless terrifying figures.

There were more souls in the soul space than before; not only human-shaped ones, but also fish-shaped ones.

The merfolk that had been blown to bits back then were all reborn in the soul space.

Adding up to sixty or seventy, they all stared densely at the criminal's soul, scaring it into shivering.

"Beat him up for me. I want him to never be reincarnated for all eternity!"

At the order, the souls swarmed over.

"Miwako, I've avenged you."

Akaso Kaze said.

Sato Miwako did not respond.

She no longer cared about any revenge.

She couldn't think of anything right now.

"You big bully, you only know how to pick on me~"

Sato Miwako hugged Akaso Kaze's neck tightly and bit down on his shoulder.

"I'll bite you, I'll bite you, I'll bite you..."

The corners of Akaso Kaze's mouth curled up slightly.

She really is a passionate girl.

A few days later, Tokyo, Beika City Hall.

The Schindler Company was holding a press conference here for the virtual game "Cocoon."

By evening, countless reporters had gathered outside, frantically clicking their shutters at the guests walking the red carpet.

This highly anticipated press conference was grand in scale; not only was the epoch-making virtual game exciting, but the celebrities invited had already made the reporters jump for joy.

Luxury cars drove past the front of the City Hall one after another. Most of those stepping out were socialites; there wasn't a single person in the massive City Hall who wasn't of high status.

Akaso Kaze walked down the red carpet, holding Haibara Ai with his left hand and Ayumi with his right.

His immense fame and handsome appearance, combined with the very cute little girls on either side, immediately attracted the cameras of many reporters.

"So amazing," Ayumi said, her eyes unable to open due to the camera flashes, yet she was still quite excited. "This press conference is super luxurious!"

Haibara Ai, on the other hand, wore a look of disdain, her expression cool.

Just inside the entrance of the hall was a spacious game experience area.

On the stage, which looked like a movie theater, dozens of capsule pods were set up, looking full of technological flair.

The first batch selected to participate in the experience were 50 boys and girls under high school age, and none of them were children from ordinary families.

The plaza-like party venue was packed with people. Because it was a game launch, many people brought children, and staff in green uniforms were running back and forth because of a group of mischievous brats.

Truly, there are bratty kids everywhere.

"These are the children who were selected, right?" Akaso Kaze said calmly, picking up a glass of red wine.

"The grandson of the Deputy Superintendent of the Metropolitan Police, the grandson of a financial tycoon, the son of a ruling party politician—the brats of Japan's big shots have all come."

Haibara stood beside Akaso Kaze with her hands behind her back, her gaze sinking slightly.

"Don't you think this is a microcosm of Japan's hereditary system? The politician's son will become a politician, the bank president's son will become a bank president. If this continues, class solidification will occur. What will the future become?"

"Akaso-san, you're here!"

Sonoko walked toward them in a red evening gown, greeting them happily.

"Hmm?" Akaso Kaze turned his head and happened to see Sonoko's chest, which was pushing against her evening gown.

Are they actually this big?

Sonoko's little face flushed red, and she deliberately puffed out her chest, asking, "Akaso-san, where exactly are you looking?"

Akaso Kaze's mouth curled up, pointing at the game experience brooch pinned to Sonoko's chest. "This, were you selected too?"

Sonoko looked down at the brooch and said, "Well, the Suzuki family did sponsor the game's development, so they specially sent me one."

She looked at Haibara Ai and Ayumi and said with a smile, "You two have them too."

Akaso Kaze smiled without a word.

He was much more powerful than those assemblymen and the like; what was there to show off about a mere two game brooches?

At this moment, the host of the cocktail party walked onto the small stage in the banquet hall and said with a smile, "The famous mystery writer Mr. Kudo Yusaku, who is responsible for one of the scripts for the 'Cocoon' game, specially returned to Japan from the United States today to attend tonight's cocktail party. Let's give him a round of applause!"

Applause erupted in the banquet hall.

"Big Brother Akaso, you're here too!" A familiar voice rang out from the side.

Akaso Kaze looked down.

Alright, Conan was indeed among those invited.

How could his father not get a badge for his son?

Professor Agasa was following behind as well. ===== CHAPTER 740 =====
