Chapter 43 Chat
"Who would ask about someone's identity right away?" Ze Yu chuckled and said, "Shouldn't you introduce yourself first?"
"Don't be ridiculous." Kaito said solemnly, "If you didn't know my identity, you wouldn't be standing here."
Kaito is still very confident about the fame of Kaito Kid. After all, Kaito Kid is an internationally famous thief, and even many foreigners know him.
Kaito knew very well that since the man in front of him ordered his men to attack him, the other party must know his identity and was just asking questions knowing the answer.
If the other party didn't know that he was Kaito Kidd, how could he possibly attack him?
"Of course I know you... Kaito Kidd."
Ze Yu's tone was calm, like an old man talking about family matters, but he inadvertently revealed a hint of confidence, as if no matter how the situation changed, it was under his control.
"But the Kaito Kidd I know disappeared eight years ago." Ze Yu smiled and said, "After all, I was there at the famous closing performance that year."
Kaito: “………!”
He was choked and his eyes widened suddenly.
Kaito's pupils shrank like needles, and his heart was filled with fear. Although his hands were not clenched, they trembled a little.
After two seconds of silence, he said calmly: "I am Kaito Kidd, and I have never disappeared."
"Oh? Really?" Ze Yu tilted his head and said nonchalantly, "You can't fool me. The real Kaito Kidd is much calmer than you. He is not as naive as you. He was just a little startled when he heard what I said. Your fingers trembled just now, which is the best proof."
"That's ridiculous, what do you mean?" Kaito remained calm and not panicked.
"Still pretending?"
Ze Yu opened his lips slightly and uttered two words softly: "...Hei Yu?"
These two words couldn't be simpler, but when combined together, they carried a lot of weight in Kaito's heart.
It was like a huge rock was dropped on calm water. Kaito, who had regained his composure, was stunned again.
His pupils flickered and he tried his best to hold his breath to avoid losing his composure due to shortness of breath.
"………who are you?"
Although Kaito tried hard to calm himself down, his attitude changed, which can be seen from the fact that he changed his address to Sawaha from "Sir" to "you".
Previously, Kaito called Sawaha "Sir", which represented the elegance and generosity of Kaito Kid, as well as his confidence in being able to act freely.
But now, Kaito found it difficult to maintain his elegant demeanor and even felt a little nervous.
There was no way, after all, his true identity had been exposed. In this situation, Kaito did not lose his composure, which was a good upbringing.
Conan, who was standing nearby, pushed his glasses up. He also noticed Kaito's subtle changes.
Conan had been standing here watching the show from the very beginning, listening to the conversation between Sawaha and Kaito, and unknowingly learned a lot of shocking inside information, watching with great fascination.
From the conversation between the two, he could infer a lot of information. If this information were to spread to the outside world, it would definitely cause considerable turmoil.
Conan had no intention of interrupting and just continued to watch quietly.
At this time, Kaito had completely given up the idea of retreating, because retreating at this time was definitely not a good option.
The reason is simple, because the other party knows Kaito's identity. If he retreats, what will happen to his friends and elders?
Maybe this mysterious man has already made preparations. If Kaito dares to escape, his men will immediately attack Huang Zhisuke, Aoko and others.
Kaito no longer cares about himself. He just hopes that his family and friends will not be implicated because of him.
"Have you heard of the Fang Group?" Ze Yu said calmly: "As you can see, I am a member of the Fang Group."
"The Fang Group?"
Kaito repeated it with some doubt, and Conan beside him also showed a serious expression.
"It seems that you are still too young and have no idea of the existence of this organization... After you go home, you can go ask your mother." Ze Yu said.
Kaito nodded and asked in a low voice: "Did your organization also participate in the event eight years ago?" "No, my Fang Group is not so boring. It's just that I happened to be there at the closing performance."
Ze Yu explained: "Your father and I are good friends. The reason why I was there was because of his invitation. I didn't refuse, so I went there."
"...?"
Kaito was stunned again.
He had prepared for the worst, thinking that it was an enemy coming for revenge.
But now it seems that the other party is not the one who harmed his father?
After realizing what was going on, Kaito didn't completely believe what Ze Yu said, and remained skeptical: "You mean, your organization has nothing to do with those guys who harmed my father?"
"Of course, what are they?"
Ze Yu just found Kaito's words a little funny. There was an obvious contempt in his tone, as if he completely looked down on those people.
However, these rabble, looked down upon by Sawaha, are enemies that Kaito must take seriously.
"A lowly mob like that, just like street thugs, is not worthy of my attention," Ze Yu said.
Kaito fell silent.
He didn't know whether he should trust the man in front of him, but...
Did he have any other options?
If the man in front of him wanted to do something bad to him, then Huang Zhisuke, Aoko and their family would most likely not escape.
But this man did not show any hostility towards Kaito, instead he was calm and elegant and confident that he would win.
And the enemies that Kaito had been fighting were like pigs and dogs in this man's eyes.
That kind of momentum can't be faked.
This man really didn't take those guys seriously.
Kaito thought quickly.
Judging from the current situation, if the other party really wanted to attack my relatives and friends, it would be easy for them to do so. They would have succeeded long ago. There would be no need to stay until now, and there would be no need to meet me.
But he did not do so. Instead, he expressed goodwill and said that he and his father were good friends, so he had no hostility towards him.
Should he believe the other party?
Kaito hesitated for a while, and finally asked: "…What's your name?"
"Twenty Yu, this is my name now." Ze Yu raised his finger and tapped his mask.
Although there is no word "twenty" on the mask that Ze Yu is wearing now, his body is at the age of twenty at this moment, so he uses the pseudonym "Twenty Yu" to call himself.
Kaito nodded, indicating that he had remembered the name.
Under the mask, Ze Yu's mouth corners slightly raised.
Then, he walked to the side, grabbed Conan's little hand, and said, "Why are you still standing there? It's time to go home."
"Eh?"
Conan looked up at the other person in confusion.
He was now finally sure of one thing.
This man is definitely Ze Yu, there is no doubt about it.
