Chapter 45 - Chapter 45: A Hundred Meters in the Air! Duel with Itō Itsuki!

"Alright then, since you all love ganging up on one, I'll gladly keep you company!"

Since Kameda didn't agree, Zhang Yang didn't bother wasting words.

These guys? Other than Kameda's gun being a bit intimidating, Zhang Yang wasn't afraid of any of them.

"Come on, all of you at once!"

Zhang Yang stood tall and calm in their midst, full of confidence.

[Damn, that's bold! Real hero energy right here!]

[Oh my god! Kaitō Kid is just too cool!]

[They actually sent a ninja to get back the Dragon Head? Guess he's got some skills.]

[Where does Kameda get his confidence from? Why's he acting like Kaitō Kid is cornered?]

[Pretty sure Liang Jingru never performed in Japan, so someone else must've given him that courage!]

Harrison couldn't help but feel uneasy seeing Zhang Yang so composed.

In this situation, any normal person would've surrendered by now, especially with Kameda pointing a gun at him.

The calmer Zhang Yang looked, the more anxious Harrison became.

Just then, Itō Itsuki suddenly spoke up, his voice cold, "Kaitō Kid, I accept your challenge!"

Kameda tensed up instantly.

"Itō-san, Kaitō Kid can't escape now. You don't need to fight him!"

"He's just a cunning thief, not worthy of challenging you!"

"What are you all standing around for? Arrest him already!"

At Kameda's shout, the security personnel and Japanese agents cautiously moved in to surround Zhang Yang.

[Itō-san? He's from the Itō clan?]

[Japan's so tiny, what kind of big family could they have?]

[You don't know? The Itō clan is a legit ninja family, they've got quite a few members!]

[Yoshi! Kameda's right, Kaitō Kid's just a thief, totally unworthy of challenging Itō-san!]

[Whoa, there's a Japanese guy in the chat? Real or fake?]

"Stand down!"

Itō's voice cut through sharply.

He had come here on the Emperor's orders to capture Kaitō Kid.

But this was also a personal test.

If he won by numbers, then this trip to Britain would be meaningless.

"…"

Kameda was as frantic as an ant on a hot pan, but then he thought—

Since Kaitō Kid's surrounded, indulging Itō's pride just this once shouldn't hurt.

"Alright, let's respect Itō-san's wish, everyone take a few steps back!"

Immediately, space was cleared for Itō and Zhang Yang.

Itō raised his ninja sword, eyes locked on Zhang Yang.

"I'll give you a chance. You strike first!"

"Give me a chance?"

Zhang Yang chuckled.

With Kaitō Kid's Enhanced Senses and Enhanced Physique, Zhang Yang naturally had strong martial skills.

Speed and strength, both beyond ordinary people.

Even facing a pro ninja like Itō, Zhang Yang wasn't the least bit afraid.

"How about you go first? I'm afraid if I hit first, you won't get a chance."

He smiled provocatively and beckoned at Itō.

"Bakayarō! Kaitō Kid! You'll pay for your arrogance!"

Unable to bear the taunt, Itō roared and slashed at Zhang Yang.

His speed was insane, the blade flashing through the air.

But Zhang Yang simply shifted, dodging the deadly strike.

Now it was real combat—no holding back.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Itō launched a flurry of wide, powerful attacks, forcing everyone else to back off and give them more room.

[So this is a ninja? Where's the water jutsu? Where's the spicy filling technique?]

[Haha, you're thinking of Naruto, this is just a regular ninja, different!]

[Is this even allowed on stream? One slash and we'll get blood splatter all over the screen!]

[Tsk tsk, why's Kaitō Kid even bothering to fight? One slip-up and it's over!]

This kind of close combat with cold weapons was what really got the blood pumping.

Everyone's eyes were on Itō Itsuki's blade. No one noticed that the window was now empty.

Zhang Yang had already retreated to the window.

"Kaitō Kid, your reactions are fast, but it's a shame…"

"You've already lost. You've got nowhere to run!"

Even with a black mask covering his face, it was easy to tell from his tone that Itō was smirking.

Kameda shouted, "Kaitō Kid, there's no escape! Stop struggling pointlessly!"

"Oh? Really?"

Zhang Yang smiled lightly, then raised his arm.

With a loud crash, the glass behind him shattered.

This was the top floor of the Kapa Building, more than 120 meters tall, with double-layer explosion-proof glass.

But Zhang Yang shattered it with just an elbow.

[Oh my god! What did he just do?]

[No way, was that supposed to be explosion-proof glass? Foreign glass is this weak?]

[Oh shit! That's insane, is his elbow made of titanium?]

[Man, I've got no words. That's just nuts!]

There had been no escape route before, but now there was one.

Harrison's eyes widened in shock, face darkening as he barked, "Kaitō Kid, what do you think you're doing?"

"Let me remind you, this is the top floor of the Kapa Building, over 100 meters high!"

Everyone there was stunned.

No one had even thought in this direction before.

[What? He's thinking of jumping out the window? Are you kidding me?]

[Oh my god! That's insane, it's over 100 meters to the ground!]

[This… this is madness. That's not escaping, that's suicide!]

[If Kaitō Kid really jumps, not a single one of them will dare follow!]

But Zhang Yang really was planning to go out the window.

"Gentlemen, goodbye!"

With that, Zhang Yang gave Itō a smile, then flipped himself out the window.

At over 100 meters in the air, the wind was cuttingly cold.

Everyone rushed to the window, only to see Zhang Yang gripping the frame tightly, slowly making his way down.

Harrison's face went pale as he yelled, "Quick! Alert rescue! Get an air cushion ready downstairs! We have to catch Kaitō Kid alive!"

None of them wanted Zhang Yang to get hurt—after all, they hadn't gotten the Dragon Head's location out of him yet!

But from this height, even with a cushion, survival wasn't guaranteed.

"He's insane! Kaitō Kid must be out of his mind!"

Kameda was totally stunned.

Just looking down was enough to make your legs go weak.

[Oh! Kaitō Kid is crazy!]

[He really went out the window! Even if he's caught, he wouldn't get the death penalty, right?]

[Unbelievable, Kaitō Kid's gonna run out of strength!]

[If this were ancient times, Kaitō Kid would be a king, no doubt about it!]

But things got even crazier.

Itō Itsuki actually sheathed his sword and followed him out the window!

Kameda nearly died of fright and quickly grabbed him.

"Itō-san, Kaitō Kid can't escape! You don't have to risk this!"

At this point, Itō was hanging outside with just his hands gripping the window frame.

"Kameda-san, let go. This is about our ninja honor!"

In Japan, once honor was involved, it wasn't just about risk—it became something beyond measure.

Kameda knew he couldn't change his mind, so he let go, watching Itō chase after Zhang Yang.

Now, from the outside, the two looked like geckos stuck to the Kapa Building's glass wall!

[Oh shit! They're both insane!]

[One doesn't care about his life, the other's obsessed with pride. Unreal!]

[If they fall from this height, they'll be in pieces!]

[Not just pieces, more like a puddle!]

[Are they seriously going to climb all the way down from the top like this?]
