Chapter 379 I Gave You a Chance, But You Couldn't Seize It, Young Man
Kaito Kid couldn't have been happier that Hakuto was going to take out the black pearl. Kaito Kid knew that the black pearl in Hakuto's hand was the real genuine article.
So, as long as Hakuto took out the black pearl, Kaito Kid was confident he could stealthily replace the real one with the fake in his hand without Hakuto noticing.
Hakuto took the black pearl out of his storage ring. The moment Kaito Kid saw this black pearl, his eyes widened.
'Yes, that was the black pearl!'
The instant Kaito Kid saw the black pearl in Hakuto's hand, he immediately activated some kind of mechanism. The next moment, the power system on the entire cruise ship suddenly went dark.
And at that moment, Hakuto noticed Kaito Kid charging straight at him.
How could Hakuto let him succeed? He simply sidestepped and then tripped him with his foot. Kaito Kid fell flat on his face.
Then, Hakuto placed one foot on Kaito Kid's back, preventing him from getting up. Soon, the power system was restored.
Hakuto looked at Kaito Kid, who was pinned under his foot, and said, "Kaito Kid, right? You disguised yourself as Mouri Ran for the black pearl in my hand, didn't you?"
Kaito Kid, pinned under Hakuto's foot, found that he couldn't get up. A look of grievance immediately appeared on his face.
Unfortunately, in the distance, Eri was rushing over with the real Ran.
Seeing this scene, Kaito Kid's expression changed instantly. Hakuto said to Kaito Kid, "Tell me what this black pearl is really for, and I'll let you go. How about that? Of course, if you don't want to talk, that's fine too. But I can't guarantee what might happen to your accomplices."
"I'll talk!"
At that moment, Kaito Kid knew very well that he had to stabilize Hakuto. Otherwise, seeing the security personnel gradually approaching, Kaito Kid was very worried that he might end up getting shot.
"But I'm sure you wouldn't want other people to hear this either, so how about we go somewhere else to talk?"
Just then, the Suzuki Family also walked over. They looked at Eri and Ran in the distance, then at the Ran pinned under Hakuto's foot.
"I never expected Kaito Kid's disguise skills to be so superb. Even standing right in front of us, we couldn't tell the difference between the two Mouri Ran."
Then, Shirou said to Hakuto, "If you need a quiet place, I can prepare a room for you."
"I'll leave it to you. As for this Kaito Kid, feel free to run anytime, as long as you're not worried about the people around you."
Hakuto smiled, then removed his foot from Kaito Kid's back. Kaito Kid became somewhat uneasy.
'He was so confident, could he really know my identity? But how was that possible? The two of us had never interacted before. How could he possibly recognize me?'
This made Kaito Kid, who had originally planned to run away, stay behind. He wanted to find out whether Hakuto really knew his identity. If his identity was really exposed, then Kaito Kid would be in big trouble!
He would definitely become an international wanted criminal, so he needed to find out whether Hakuto was bluffing.
If he confirmed that Hakuto was just bluffing, then he could run away then. It would be the same. Kaito Kid believed that he had just made a mistake. If he really wanted to run, no one could catch him.
Under Shirou's guidance, Hakuto and the others arrived at a room.
Ran looked at Eri and said, "Mom, is it really okay for us to come along like this?"
Eri glanced at her daughter and then said, "You are also a party to this incident, so you naturally have the right to know. After all, who knows if this Kaito Kid did anything to you after knocking you out?"
Eri looked at Kaito Kid, disguised as Ran, with burning anger in her eyes.
Hearing Eri's words, Kaito Kid, who was on the side, immediately became dissatisfied. "What do you mean by that? What could I, Kaito Kid, possibly do? Don't falsely accuse an innocent person, I tell you!"
"Innocent person? How can an international wanted criminal be considered an innocent person?"
Eri sneered directly. Kaito Kid was immediately speechless. Although he really hadn't done anything to Ran, his identity was indeed that of an international wanted criminal.
"Alright, let's hear it. Why do you want this black pearl?"
Hakuto took out the black pearl and said to Kaito Kid. Kaito Kid didn't speak. Instead, he asked Hakuto, "Do you know my identity?"
"I'm asking you, not you asking me."
Hakuto didn't answer. He just looked at Kaito Kid with a calm gaze. As for Kaito Kid, he interpreted Hakuto's behavior as a default that he didn't know Kaito Kid's identity.
So now, Kaito Kid was already considering how to retreat. After all, if Hakuto didn't know his identity, once he ran, could Hakuto still catch him?
Seeing that Kaito Kid didn't answer, Hakuto knew what Kaito Kid was thinking, 'This stupid guy really thought he could get away.'
But Hakuto didn't mind letting him run. Then, Hakuto would bring Kaito Kid's future father-in-law to his door to catch him. He imagined Kaito Kid's expression would be quite splendid.
'Heh heh heh.'
The next moment, smoke suddenly erupted from beneath Kaito Kid's feet, and then Kaito Kid vanished from the room.
"Why didn't you catch Kaito Kid?"
Eri looked at Hakuto with some annoyance. After all, her daughter had been knocked out by him. Who knew if he had taken advantage of her daughter?
Seeing Eri's expression, Hakuto frowned slightly. But then, thinking that he owed her a debt, he let it go.
But Rem and Ram, on the side, looked at Eri. "Please mind your status."
"Kaito Kid can't get away. I gave him a chance. Since he didn't want it, we'll just go to his house and catch him ourselves."
"You already know Kaito Kid's real identity?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Hakuto in shock.
