Eagle Nation made a swift decision, allowing Bruce to head to France to capture Kaitō Kid.
During Zhang Yang's time in Eagle Nation, he had caused them repeated embarrassment. As the world's number one superpower, Eagle Nation wouldn't let this slide.
Harrison also received notice from his superior, confirming that France was ready for cooperation. He was ordered to leave immediately.
Before leaving, Bruce still decided to seal off the airport.
They needed to try to strictly check anyone heading to France in an attempt to find Zhang Yang.
At this moment, Zhang Yang noticed a large number of FBI agents flooding into the airport, but he remained calm, sitting in the waiting lounge.
He had experienced situations like this before.
"Only half an hour left. What can Bruce and them do now?"
It was almost time to board. Bruce and the others were clearly running out of time. Despite their swift actions, they still couldn't interfere with Zhang Yang's plans.
Media staff from various outlets were rushing in, preparing for live coverage.
Bruce and Harrison were busy inspecting everyone, working tirelessly.
[Kaitō Kid could be anyone. How can they find him like this?]
[I think Bruce and them are just trying anything they can. It's their last resort!]
[The last person to do something like this, I remember, was Harrison!]
[This is all futile. The area is too large!]
[Eagle Nation is in shambles. Kaitō Kid has toyed with them for so long, and they still haven't even touched the hem of his clothes!]
Zhang Yang's flight to France took off, leaving Bruce and Harrison still at the airport, preparing their next move.
As Zhang Yang was about to rest his eyes, a person suddenly sat down across from him.
Zhang Yang frowned. He had booked a luxurious first-class seat, and the corner spot was supposed to be his own.
Before he could question the person, they politely introduced themselves first.
"Hello, I am a descendant of Sherlock Holmes, Holmeska!"
Hearing this name made Zhang Yang's heart skip a beat.
This person seemed to be here for him?
Zhang Yang was curious about how he found him.
'This person is interesting!' Zhang Yang thought with a cold smile in his mind and gestured for him to sit.
"Hello, Mr. Holmeska!"
Bruce and Harrison had powerful identity databases and hadn't noticed Zhang Yang's false identity.
However, Holmeska was able to find him so precisely, and this ability impressed Zhang Yang.
In the face of absolute accuracy, there was no such thing as luck or coincidence.
"Mr. Kaitō Kid, am I right in calling you that?"
Holmeska's gaze was filled with certainty. Even with his yellow mustache, Zhang Yang could still see the smug smile on his face.
Zhang Yang chuckled lightly and politely nodded before asking, "That's right, Mr. Holmeska. What made you so sure?"
Zhang Yang had already gone over everything in his mind. His actions hadn't had any flaws, and there were no points where he could have been exposed.
The fact that Holmeska managed to find him made Zhang Yang feel both surprised and puzzled.
Holmeska chuckled and began explaining slowly.
"It's actually quite simple, Mr. Kaitō Kid. I checked everything one by one."
"Your identity is fine, but by pure coincidence, this person in real life, we've had some previous interactions!"
"As far as I know, he's currently not even in Eagle Nation, so I can confidently say that Mr. Kaitō Kid must be using his identity!"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yang was utterly speechless.
He had thought it was all about skill, but it turned out there was a bit of luck involved as well.
Zhang Yang sat on the sofa, shaking his head and laughing helplessly.
"So that's how it is!"
"Very well, Mr. Holmeska, what is it that you're after? To catch me?"
Holmeska waved his hands quickly.
"No, no, Mr. Kaitō Kid, please don't misunderstand!"
If Holmeska wanted to catch him, he would have probably already passed on Zhang Yang's information to Bruce before they even boarded the plane.
He followed Zhang Yang onto the plane and only came over after takeoff, so his purpose didn't seem to be catching him.
After a moment of hesitation, Holmeska smiled and said, "It's a bit bold of me, but I'm here to ask you to help me win a competition!"
Zhang Yang raised an eyebrow.
"A competition?"
Was this really happening? They were now holding a competition to catch him?
Holmeska took an invitation letter from his pocket, which included the rules of the competition and the requirements for participants.
One of the conditions to participate was that Zhang Yang had to leave his signature on the invitation letter.
As for the competition rules, they were mainly restrictions for Holmeska and his team.
As soon as Zhang Yang looked up, Holmeska was already offering him a pen.
Of course, he was asking for Zhang Yang's signature. Only with it would he be able to participate in the competition.
"Mr. Holmeska, do you think many people could find me to get my signature on the invitation letter?"
This was getting more and more interesting.
The prize for the competition was a staggering six hundred million dollars!
There was no other competition in the world with a prize that big.
Zhang Yang was also very curious. Who could be hosting such a competition and be so extravagant?
And they set such a high bar—only those who got his signature could officially participate.
As for Zhang Yang's question, Holmeska smiled confidently and shook his head.
"I don't think many."
"Mr. Kaitō Kid, you're a formidable opponent. If it weren't for my luck, and the fact that I crossed paths with your borrowed identity, I probably wouldn't have been able to find you!"
"But even if I'm the only one meeting the requirements to participate, the competition will still go on!"
"Because Bruce and Harrison are considered NPC opponents in our game."
"As long as I can catch you before him, I'll still win the prize!"
Zhang Yang noticed that the competition was set to start in three days.
Holmeska had received his invitation two days ago, and he had been searching for Zhang Yang ever since.
Finding him on this plane was a mix of skill and luck.
Zhang Yang took the pen Holmeska handed him and quickly signed his name on the invitation letter.
"Thank you, Mr. Kaitō Kid!"
Holmeska put away the invitation letter and the pen, expressing his gratitude.
Now Zhang Yang was quite interested in this competition.
"Mr. Holmeska, how many people are participating?"
Zhang Yang still had plans in France, and if many people were entering, he would need to prepare in advance.
However, Holmeska shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.
"I'm not sure. I don't think it will be many. I suspect no more than ten people received the invitation!"
"As for finding you, maybe I'm the only one who got this lucky!"
