Chapter 545 Scared to tears

The informant smiled, leaned forward, and spoke to Lupin III.

“Mr. Lupin, I actually want to give you a commission as well.”

"Ok?"

"Get me this cherry sapphire."

Lupin III stared at the information broker, neither agreeing nor refusing.

What do you plan to do with this gem?

"Don't worry, I won't give it to other countries or resell it; I just want to use it myself."

Lupin III rolled his eyes at the information broker.

"Don't tell me you want to make jewelry from it."

The intelligence broker laughed twice and nodded quite honestly.

"Haha, you can think of it that way."

However, there was one thing he didn't say.

That means he didn't intend to wear this jewelry outside, but rather to embed it in his own body as a core piece.

Not long ago, he obtained a legendary design blueprint while completing a mission.

That was a set of armor design drawings.

He had collected most of the materials, but he still couldn't find the most crucial energy core.

The chances of getting it through quests were too slim, but this gem solved his immediate problem.

The rich rewards of any event are no longer important; all he needs to do is get his hands on this thing.

"...I'm sorry, but I'm a man of principle. Now that I've accepted Smith's mission, I naturally won't accept yours."

Lupin III remained silent for a moment, then shook his head.

Although the information broker didn't seem to be lying, it was still strange that he would say something like using it as jewelry when he clearly knew its value.

After this operation is completed, it seems I should make another trip to Vesbania to see if they have any jade treasures left behind.

"Well, that was expected."

The informant shrugged, not surprised by Lupin III's answer.

Having a henchman would be good, but it's not impossible for him to go and get it by himself.

After all, he chose to play on the defensive side.

Stealing from his own post is not a problem at all; anyone who dares to stop him will be killed.

"By the way, do you have any information on these people? These are the men Smith sent for me."

Lupin III took a slip of paper out of his pocket and handed it to the intelligence agency.

The intelligence officer glanced at the photos on the paper, memorized the faces of these people, and shook his head with a half-smile.

"You'll find out when the time comes."

"Still keeping me in suspense?"

Lupin III glanced at the information broker with displeasure.

He was certain this guy knew something.

"What's that noise outside? It's so noisy."

Lupin III stretched, stood up, and opened the box door.

To be honest, he doesn't know when it started, but he's been hearing a buzzing sound all the time.

The intelligence officer glanced outside the door and poured himself a glass of wine.

"It's a bar after all, so it's understandable that it's this noisy..."

boom!

Before he could finish speaking, a loud noise suddenly came from the ceiling.

The intelligence officer's eyes narrowed, and he immediately took several steps back.

Dust was flying everywhere in the room, and bricks and tiles were falling.

"Cough cough cough! What just fell down with a thud?"

Lupin III was startled by the sudden noise and covered his mouth and nose, looking at the ceiling.

Although smoke and dust were still billowing, a beam of light falling through the hole brightened the originally dim room somewhat.

"..."

Lupin III's lips twitched involuntarily.

There is a problem.

Their bar is located several floors above a high-rise building.

The fact that sunlight can still penetrate means that the hole was created by breaking through from the top floor to the bottom floor.

Lupin III lowered his gaze to the dust and mist that were illuminated with a golden glow.

There was a long shadow there.

What's strange is that the outline of this long shadow looks somewhat like him no matter how you look at it.

"Where is this place? A bar?"

The dust was gradually swept away by the exhaust fan, and the long shadow emerged.

Was it a person that fell?

Lupin III didn't understand.

What's going on here with the construction work?

And the other person's voice sounds a lot like his.

"Hey, I found you! You're here!"

The figure was fully revealed, and Lupin III stared blankly at the monkey face that looked exactly like his own.

"Lupin III?!"

The voice is exactly the same as mine, and the appearance is exactly the same as mine too.

If you are Lupin III, then what am I?

The intelligence broker stared blankly at the other Lupin III who had suddenly appeared, his composure completely gone.

His arm trembled involuntarily, as if to confirm something, and he suddenly took off his glasses and put them back on.

"who are you?"

Lupin III looked at his other self and asked.

Meanwhile, the other Lupin froze, his eyes flickered, and suddenly a burst of white light erupted from his body.

Lupin III initially thought the other party was going to use a flashbang, but the white light only lasted for a moment before dissipating.

Then, the original Lupin III disappeared.

Standing still was a gentleman dressed in a white tuxedo.

"Actually, I am... Phantom Thief Kid!"

……

Qi Ming felt he was quite lucky.

The area marked for this mission was a bit too large. I thought we would have to search a bit more, but we found it right away in the second broken-down building.

"You brat, I knew it was you! It's one thing to imitate me when you steal, but to imitate my face too?"

Lupin III naturally chose to believe Qi Ming's revelation of the name of the Phantom Thief Kid.

There was no other reason than that he couldn't detect any flaws in the disguise just now.

In his memory, the only person with this skill was that little brat, Kaito Kid.

All I did was use your face to carry out an operation when I first came to Japan, and you're coming after me?

If a senior uses your face, fine. But if you use a senior's face, no. Can't you have some professional ethics?

Just as Qi Ming was thinking about what to say to Lupin III, a sound of vomiting suddenly rang out.

"vomit--"

Meanwhile, the intelligence broker suddenly collapsed to the ground, his face ashen, vomiting up all the wine he had just drunk.

Lupin III stared speechlessly at the information booth, then turned to Qi Ming and said.

"You brat, look at yourself, you're making my friend want to vomit."

"..."

Qi Ming ignored it, only raising an eyebrow as he looked at the top of the intelligence agency's head.

Is it that he and these people are attracted to each other, or is it because this place is so small that he was able to run into an awakened person?

And those glasses he was wearing...

"No, no!"

Seeing Qi Ming looking at him, the intelligence officer said with a look of fear, and unconsciously spat out another mouthful of wine.

His glasses are a prop that allows him to see other people's levels and danger levels.

But what exactly is this person's rank?

A four-digit number?!

The danger level has been downgraded to a question mark!

Something's wrong. Although I don't know who this person is, since they've appeared here, they must be up to no good!

He must escape! He has to escape immediately!

The intelligence broker was always cautious. Without saying a word, he pulled out a pistol in front of Qi Ming and Lupin III.

Then, pointing the gun at his temple, he decisively pulled the trigger.

boom!

Gunshots rang out, and the intelligence station collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
