At this moment, Harrison's rage had reached a point where he could barely keep his cool, let alone be polite.
"Idiots! I was chasing Kaitō Kid, I never came back!"
The mercenaries' faces darkened. Even MI5 meant nothing to them.
Before joining Ed Gold Vault, they were lawless mercenaries.
"Director Harrison, according to Ed Gold Vault's regulations, you cannot enter."
This time, Harrison really had no way in.
"OK!"
"OK! OK!"
Harrison laughed in fury, his whole body trembling as he paced, trying to hold back his anger.
First, he'd been played by Kaitō Kid. Now, here he was, humiliated, blocked outside the vault.
Itō Itsuki could only shake his head in frustration.
"Albert's been inside for this long, aren't you even curious?"
"And Director Harrison already said he hasn't entered the vault—don't you think something's wrong?"
Everything Itō said was basic logic, but according to Ed Gold Vault's rules, they still had no right to enter.
Plus, Harrison had just called them idiots.
So they didn't care. As long as they could block Harrison and piss him off, that was enough.
Soon, another senior manager from Ed Gold Vault arrived.
After Harrison explained the situation, the manager instantly knew something was wrong.
"Let them through!"
The mercenaries slowly stepped aside.
"Yes, Mr. Carter!"
One of the mercenaries, the one Harrison had cursed, even gave him a smug, taunting grin.
This was the most humiliating day of Harrison's life—no contest.
A group of them stormed into the vault, and right away they saw Albert lying on the floor.
Next to him, on display, was a sword stuck in the case—Zhang Yang's handmade "Huaxia First Sword."
"Oh shit! Albert!"
Carter rushed over and found Albert breathing steadily, just unconscious.
"Albert, wake up! What happened?"
Carter tried to rouse him. Harrison walked past and said coldly, "Albert's fine, he'll wake up in a couple of hours."
"He inhaled Kaitō Kid's white powder."
Back at Swan Lake Castle, Aaron and over twenty others had passed out the same way, all waking up at the same time.
That's when Harrison had figured out Kaitō Kid's use of sleep powder mist.
Harrison wasn't an expert in artifacts, but just by looking at the sword stuck in the display, he could tell it was fake.
"Mr. Carter, I believe Kaitō Kid has already stolen the real sword."
Hearing this, Carter gently laid Albert down.
Then he saw the fake sword in the case—and his heart sank.
"Oh my god!"
"Director Harrison, what the hell happened here?"
But how was Harrison supposed to explain it? That he got played by Kaitō Kid again?
"This sword is over two thousand years old, the personal blade of Qin Shi Huang, the First Emperor of the Dragon Nation. It's known as the Huaxia First Sword, worth hundreds of millions of dollars!"
"Oh! No!"
Harrison's fists clenched so tight they cracked. Right now, he wanted nothing more than to grab Zhang Yang and stab him with this fake sword.
"Mr. Carter, I'm very sorry. We will capture Kaitō Kid as soon as possible and recover the stolen item from Ed Gold Vault."
To Ed Gold Vault, they had lost a priceless treasure worth hundreds of millions.
But to Harrison, the sword of Qin Shi Huang, the so-called Huaxia First Sword, was just another stolen item.
There was only one thing that mattered—catching Kaitō Kid.
Although tonight's operation wasn't streamed live, plenty of people in the crowd were livestreaming on their own.
And the footage of Zhang Yang and Harrison racing through the streets was already spreading online, making this whole thing blow up even more.
[Oh my god! This is insane, are they trying to get themselves killed?]
[I can eyeball it—their speed had to be at least two hundred kilometers an hour!]
[With all those cars on the road, one's running, one's chasing, both are crazy!]
[I heard Kaitō Kid still got away in the end—what a shame!]
[Why wasn't there a live broadcast this time? Missed so many epic moments!]
Right now, outside Ed Gold Vault, there was still a big crowd watching.
Harrison hadn't come out yet, and everyone was waiting—for him, for a clear answer.
Did Kaitō Kid win tonight, or did Harrison and his team finally pull off a success?
The moment Harrison stepped out of Ed Gold Vault, the crowd stirred, and the human wall formed by the Enforcement Bureau was instantly broken through.
People rushed toward Harrison, surrounding him.
"Director Harrison, did you catch Kaitō Kid?"
"Did something get stolen from Ed Gold Vault?"
"Director Harrison, how fast did you go during that street chase? Everyone's dying to know!"
"Why wasn't there a livestream this time? Did Ed Gold Vault not allow it?"
Faced with all these questions, Harrison's face darkened, and he didn't say a word.
His agents stepped forward to block the crowd, and Harrison slipped into the car, forcing his way through the people and driving off first.
Someone in the crowd was livestreaming. Harrison didn't answer any of their questions, but somehow, that said it all.
[Harrison didn't look too happy—probably another failed mission.]
[Oh man, it's not just a failure, he probably got toyed with by Kaitō Kid again and still let him escape!]
[Oh! Failing over and over, getting played like that… kinda feel bad for Harrison now.]
[How many times has Harrison lost to Kaitō Kid now? That kind of stubbornness deserves a medal!]
Meanwhile, Zhang Yang had already returned home and placed the sword of Emperor Qin Shi Huang on the table.
"A sword this good, locked away in some airless vault, what a waste!"
Then Zhang Yang snapped a photo and posted it to Kaitō Kid's page.
"The sword of Emperor Qin Shi Huang, once the Huaxia First Sword, should shine with its true edge!"
No one had gotten anything useful from Harrison, but the moment Zhang Yang's post went live, all their questions were answered.
[Oh my god! Kaitō Kid really stole from Ed Gold Vault!]
[Pass the word, Ed Gold Vault got hit!]
[So much for being one of Britain's top three vaults, huh?]
[Shit! That's Qin Shi Huang's sword, and Harrison let Kaitō Kid get away with it? What's he even doing?]
[Not just this time—what about the Twelve Zodiac Bronze Heads, or Gu Kaizhi's Admonitions Scroll? Every one of those is priceless!]
The moment the new post dropped, the comments blew past ten thousand in seconds.
Everyone was already watching closely, and now Zhang Yang had stolen nothing less than Qin Shi Huang's sword.
When the British royal family saw Zhang Yang's new post, they were furious.
"Shit! What the hell is wrong with Harrison?"
"Letting Kaitō Kid succeed again and again—is he trying to go back to farming pigs?"
