Their reaction completely caught all the media reporters off guard.
People worldwide thought that FBI Headquarters would be on high alert, preparing to face Kaitō Kid's challenge.
But at this moment, all the agents had evacuated, and the last one to leave was Bruce.
He didn't hurry to leave the headquarters building like the other agents. Instead, he walked directly toward a group of media reporters.
[What's Bruce doing? Evacuating all the agents from FBI Headquarters? Was that his idea?]
[Oh my god! Does he want to face Kaitō Kid alone? Is he crazy?]
[Shit! Bruce can't be that stupid, can he? He could have had all the agents wait for Kaitō Kid to come to them!]
[A real man faces life head-on, accepts challenges—Bruce is a real man!]
[Just hope he doesn't look too cool when he walks out of the building, only to look embarrassed when Kaitō Kid plays him!]
Bruce stood in front of the media reporters, facing the live camera, and announced boldly that he accepted Kaitō Kid's challenge.
"Kaitō Kid, I accept your challenge, and in the interest of fairness, I've evacuated all the agents from the headquarters building!"
"Tonight, FBI Headquarters will only have me waiting for you. I hope you won't back out at the last minute. I'm looking forward to meeting you!"
Before, it had only been speculation, but after Bruce's serious announcement, the viewers' excitement was off the charts!
[Oh shit! Bruce is really going to face Kaitō Kid alone. This time, he actually has the advantage!]
[A real man, one-on-one combat!]
[Tsk tsk, this is going to be a great show, a true one-on-one battle!]
[What show? Bruce definitely won't let the media reporters in to broadcast this live!]
[Oh my god! Why is Bruce doing this? I just don't understand what he's thinking!]
After his announcement, Bruce turned and walked back into the headquarters building, not giving the reporters a chance to ask any questions.
The video of the broadcast quickly made its way around the world, and some news outlets even aired special programs discussing Bruce's next move.
Such a huge event caught the attention of netizens, and soon, Zhang Yang got the news.
Bruce wanted to have a one-on-one showdown with him, and the location was FBI Headquarters. He would be waiting there alone.
[This Bruce guy is interesting!]
[So, does that mean my plan was all for nothing?]
At this point, Zhang Yang had already made his plan. All he needed was to head to the FBI Headquarters.
[When is Kaitō Kid going to show up? This time, it's just Bruce on his own. Does he want to sneak in?]
[Eagle Nation is always known for playing dirty. Who knows if they've set up some kind of trap? What if it's all a trick?]
[Shit! Are you saying Eagle Nation plays dirty? Do you even know what you're talking about?]
[This is online, who are you trying to scare? Everyone knows Eagle Nation's reputation around the world.]
[Buddy, you're talking about Eagle Nation's reputation? Does that word even exist in their dictionary?]
The debate among the netizens shifted from Bruce and Kaitō Kid to the issue of Eagle Nation's credibility.
Eagle Nation's reputation and influence worldwide have always been built on its military power, not on its credibility.
This led to a lot of issues being brought up once again, all under scrutiny.
Soon, night fell, and as the debate raged on in the live stream, a silver jeep sped toward FBI Headquarters, stopping directly in front of the building.
Zhang Yang had been observing for a while and, after confirming that Bruce wasn't playing tricks, drove over openly and confidently.
A white figure stepped out of the silver jeep, causing an eruption of gasps from the crowd.
"Kaitō Kid is here, he appeared right at the base of FBI Headquarters!"
"It looks like Kaitō Kid really intends to go one-on-one with Bruce. Let's see who will come out on top!"
"Kaitō Kid is right outside the headquarters. His ultimate showdown with Bruce is about to begin!"
The reporters from various media outlets were giving live commentary on the latest developments.
[What kind of reporters are these? Can't they see? Hurry up and move, you're blocking my view of Kaitō Kid!]
[Wow, Kaitō Kid looks so cool, he just showed up like that!]
[Kaitō Kid is so foolish. Eagle Nation must be up to something!]
[Oh my god! Kaitō Kid is too cool!]
[Now that Kaitō Kid is so hot, if Eagle Nation tries something dirty at FBI Headquarters, it'll be a victory without honor. They wouldn't do that!]
After Zhang Yang got out of the car, he waved at the crowd and bowed politely, causing an eruption of cheers.
Then, Zhang Yang walked confidently into the FBI Headquarters building. His monocle displayed the entire layout of the building.
The imperial scepter, inlaid with colorful gems, was placed in the command room on the eighth floor.
Although Bruce was the only one left in the building, Zhang Yang didn't dare let his guard down.
"Bruce's idea of fairness is just about numbers. He'll definitely be armed!"
"He probably expelled everyone because he's afraid I disguised myself as one of the agents."
A slight smile crept across Zhang Yang's face. Bruce's little tricks had already been figured out.
Zhang Yang wasn't about to risk betting on Bruce's integrity. To play it safe, he headed to the electrical control room to cut the power to the building first.
At that moment, Bruce's voice rang out throughout the entire building.
"Kaitō Kid, I know why you're here. I'll be waiting right next to it!"
Zhang Yang chuckled softly. Bruce was clever, but his overconfidence was his weakness.
The voice carried outside, and the crowd gasped.
"Was that Bruce's voice? Does FBI Headquarters actually have something that Kaitō Kid wants to steal?"
[Oh my god! What could possibly be in the headquarters? Even if there's treasure, it shouldn't be in FBI Headquarters!]
[Shit! I really don't understand how FBI's security works if Kaitō Kid knows everything!]
[What kind of treasure would Kaitō Kid be after that is kept at FBI Headquarters?]
The live stream viewers were also very curious.
This epic showdown between the world's greatest thief and Eagle Nation's top agent wasn't just about personal grudges—there was something Kaitō Kid truly wanted!
[So it turns out Kaitō Kid really is here to steal something!]
[Shit! I thought Bruce and Kaitō Kid were just setting up for a duel!]
[I didn't think Kaitō Kid would be so bored as to challenge Bruce to a duel. And even if he did, he wouldn't do it at FBI Headquarters, right?]
[What's going on at FBI Headquarters that Kaitō Kid would be interested in?]
Zhang Yang moved with precision, arriving at the control room on the third floor. He flipped all the breakers, cutting the building's power.
One floor at a time, the lights went out.
"The lights are out. Did Kaitō Kid do this?"
"Kaitō Kid must be getting ready to find Bruce. He always operates in the dark!"
"Although Kaitō Kid usually wears a white tuxedo, the night is where he truly shines!"
"Good luck to Bruce!"
