Livestream: Awakening as Kaitō Kid, Shocking the World-Chapter 98: When the Dao Advances, the Demon Advances Further!

Chapter 98: Chapter 98: When the Dao Advances, the Demon Advances Further!

Zhang Yang glanced around. There wasn’t a single place to hide.

"This is just screwing with me!"

In a moment of urgency, Zhang Yang exchanged for an Eagle Claw Grapple from the points shop and fired it toward the rooftop of the nearest exhibition building.

The next second, he soared through the air with the grappling hook, landing directly on the rooftop.

"Hello?"

But an awkward scene followed.

Just like the Imperial Palace, two ninjas were already there waiting.

"Baka yarō!"

The two ninjas drew their blades and lunged at Zhang Yang with furious roars.

They were on the rooftop, and their shouting immediately drew attention from below.

Meanwhile, the broadcasting drone from the news agency flew over for a close-up live feed.

[Wow, Kaitō Kid is already inside Sakura Shrine—still as handsome as ever!]

[Nakajima Misaki and Itō Chūji are still out front searching like fools. This is hilarious!]

[What the heck? With this level of security and he still snuck in? Is Kaitō Kid teleporting now?]

[He’s done for this time. He’s been exposed!]

[Oh my god! The armed units have spotted him!]

Zhang Yang realized trouble was coming—he couldn’t waste time with these two ninjas.

If the troops below reached him, escape would be much harder.

"Ding..."

He flung a Super Poker Card. It sliced through the night in a graceful arc, spinning rapidly and slicing both ninja blades in half mid-swing.

"Not bad. The Itō clan’s ninjas really do keep their blades at the ready."

Zhang Yang smirked inwardly.

Compared to paper cards, the Super Poker Cards were far tougher and sharper. He had nearly sliced Harrison’s recon drone with just a paper one.

Now with the upgraded card, breaking these ninja blades was effortless.

The fact that the ninjas still gripped their hilts impressed Zhang Yang a little.

But the two ninjas were stunned, their palms aching from the shockwave of the impact.

The Super Poker Card packed serious cutting force!

"Nani?!"

"Baka! What kind of hidden weapon is that?!"

A playing card breaking ninja swords—this scene had the livestream cheering wildly.

[What the hell? A poker card in Kaitō Kid’s hand has this kind of power?!]

[Unbelievable! He cut through two ninja swords with cards!]

[So much for the Itō clan being the top ninja family. Their blades are garbage!]

[Absolutely insane! Kaitō Kid’s card throwing is pinpoint deadly!]

[Oh shit! If he’d aimed for their necks instead of the swords, this would’ve been a bloodbath!]

Zhang Yang flipped a Flash Bomb into the air. As smoke burst upward, he launched another grappling hook to the roof of the next building.

He set the launcher against his foot and zipped across the line to the neighboring rooftop.

By then, several patrol teams had arrived on the ground. Spotting Zhang Yang, they raised their guns to fire.

Now, he was a moving target.

"Ding ding ding—"

With no time to think, Zhang Yang flicked his wrist and unleashed a flurry of Super Poker Cards from his sleeve. They spun wildly beneath him like a shield.

All the bullets from below were stopped by the flying cards.

Zhang Yang scanned the area and quickly realized—there was nowhere to hide.

"Come on, are you kidding me?"

In a split second, he opened the system store and exchanged for an Eagle Hook. Firing it toward the roof of the nearest exhibit hall, he soared up through the air and landed cleanly on top.

"Hello?"

But the moment he touched down, things got awkward.

Just like at the Imperial Palace, two ninjas were already waiting for him.

"Baka yarō!"

The two immediately drew their ninja blades and charged at Zhang Yang, roaring loudly.

Their shouts instantly drew attention from below. The news crew’s drone also flew in, locking onto the rooftop for live broadcast.

[Wow! Kaitō Kid’s already inside the Sakura Shrine—and as dazzling as ever!]

[Nakajima Misaki and Itō Chūji are still bumbling around the gates—this is comedy gold!]

[What the hell? How does he keep slipping through? Did he teleport in?!]

[He’s exposed! Kaitō Kid’s been found!]

[Oh my god! The armed units below just spotted him too!]

Zhang Yang realized he couldn’t waste time here. If he delayed, the ground forces would arrive and make escape a nightmare.

Ding...

He flung a Super Playing Card into the air. It cut through the night with a sharp arc, spinning rapidly—cleanly slicing both ninja blades in half.

"Still gripping your weapons? I’ll admit, the Itō clan has some bite."

Zhang Yang chuckled internally.

The Super Playing Cards were on another level—far tougher and sharper than the standard ones. With the regular cards, he had nearly shredded Harrison’s surveillance drone.

Now with the upgraded ones, cutting through ninja steel was a breeze.

That the ninjas could still hold onto their hilts earned them a bit of respect.

But the two of them were stunned, and their palms throbbed from the impact. The sheer force behind that card was no joke.

"Nani!"

"Baka! What kind of hidden weapon is that?!"

The livestream exploded with excitement.

[No freaking way! A playing card just sliced through ninja swords?!]

[That’s insane—he didn’t just cut one, but both of them!]

[And the Itō clan calls themselves the top ninja family? That’s some fragile metal!]

[He’s not playing cards—he’s weaponizing them like a pro!]

[Oh shit! If those cards had aimed at their throats instead, this would’ve turned into a bloodbath!]

Zhang Yang flipped a Flashbang Smoke Grenade and tossed it. As the cloud exploded into the air, he fired a grappling hook to the roof of the adjacent building.

He mounted the launcher underfoot and zipped across on the cable.

By now, multiple patrol squads had swarmed below. Spotting him mid-air, they immediately opened fire.

Ding ding ding—

Zhang Yang had no time to think. With a flick of his wrist, a barrage of Super Playing Cards burst from his sleeves, spinning and circling around him like a shield.

The bullets all slammed into the whirling cards, unable to reach him.

"Nani?!"

"What the hell is that?!"

When the gunfire died down, Zhang Yang was already on the next rooftop.

The guards below stood in shock, staring at the fluttering cards falling like confetti.

The livestream audience was just as stunned. They hadn’t expected the cards to not only slice blades—but also deflect bullets.

[WTF?! Are those even real playing cards?!]

[I swear, if those are still made of paper, I’ll eat every card that just fell down!]

[If they are paper, someone get this man a feature on "Science Unexplained"!]

[Those poor guys who opened fire must be questioning everything right now.]

[Kaitō Kid’s cards are legendary—I’m officially obsessed!]

Zhang Yang landed cleanly, then immediately moved again.

He couldn’t act until he shook off the tail.

Besides, these buildings were just museum halls—filled with old wartime gear and propaganda.

The Azure Dragon Imperial Jade Seal wouldn’t be stored in an exhibit like this.

It would definitely be placed at the Sakura Shrine’s central altar.

After all, the place used to be called the "Shrine of Departed Souls"—a twisted memorial to the nation’s war dead.

Putting the Azure Dragon Imperial Jade Seal there? Sinisterly fitting.

"Come on, send in more people. This Hallucination Smoke Bomb cost me ten thousand points. Gotta make it count."

More soldiers were pouring into the area, some already storming the building. The rooftop was surrounded.

Zhang Yang simply waited.

The news anchor commentated breathlessly.

"Kaitō Kid is now holding position on the rooftop. He hasn’t made another move yet."

"Could it be... he’s realized there’s no escape and plans to surrender?"

The audience erupted in laughter.

[Did this guy seriously just say that? Is he okay?]

[Kaitō Kid surrender? What’s this guy smoking?]

[Which eye of yours saw him cornered? Quit the job if you can’t handle reality.]

[Okay, real talk—he’s surrounded. It’s risky.]

[These people really pulled out all the stops. Guns, troops, and probably missiles next!]

Zhang Yang heard footsteps inside—almost to the rooftop.

He pulled out the Hallucination Smoke Bomb and lobbed it down.

The Sakura Shrine grounds were crawling with soldiers now, all converging on the building.

The smoke might not daze everyone, but if it took out even half, he’d have room to move.

"Baka yarō! Watch out!"

"Everyone stay alert! Could be another gas bomb!"

They didn’t retreat, though—because Zhang Yang was still on top.

"They’re nothing if not dutiful."

Zhang Yang couldn’t help but nod in admiration.

Down below, Nakajima Misaki covered his face and stared upward, his brows tightly furrowed.

But the smoke thickened, and soon, he couldn’t see anything.

Then—through the haze—he saw a plane gliding overhead.

It looked surreal, like something out of a dream.

"Nani?!"

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
