"Shan Qi, Dad, hasn't he come yet?"

In a corner of the banquet hall on the first floor, Kenta's expression was a little anxious.

Opposite him was an old man with gray hair, an old man with a serious face, wearing a suit and white gloves, who was none other than the housekeeper of the Owada family and the secretary to the president.

"I'm fine with the toast, but according to the plan, Dad is going to appear in front of everyone at the same time as the first wave of fireworks from the Twin Towers is lit.

He's not still in the East Tower, is he? At this point in time, he should be coming over too......"

"Master Kenta, don't worry, I'm also looking for the president." Seki-cheol calmly comforted Kenta.

"Do you want me to call Ichiro?" Mrs. Sandong on the side proposed.

"Nope." Shi Qizhe shook his head lightly and said, "The president usually hates waste the most, so let me find him again." ”

"Okay......" Mrs. Sandong sighed softly, agreeing with what she said.

As the wife of Ichiro Owada, she naturally knows how outrageous her husband's "thrift" is.

"I think mobile phones are here for this kind of time...... Dad's thrift is a little too much. ”

Kenta didn't say anything more, his gaze once again spotting a familiar figure in the crowd.

"I went to see a friend, and I'll be right back."

With that as he said that, Kenta made his way through the crowd and walked straight to Karasuma Ying, who was standing in front of a display case.

"Ying, long time no see."

Karasuma Ying looked back at him and smiled slightly.

"Long time no see, Kenta."

"I didn't expect to see you here."

"I'm also surprised, Kenta, aren't you studying sculpture art in the United States? Why did you suddenly return to China? ”

At this time, Mori and the others were watching from the other side of the hall, so Karasuma Ying didn't hide anything anymore.

She and Kenta Owada were friends in the United States, and the two met at an art exhibition.

And Kenta Owada also knows her identity.

"It's not because of my father, who knows that I'm not here, but he still repeatedly urges me to come back and inherit the company......" Speaking of this, Kenta couldn't help but complain.

Regarding the conflict between Kenta and his father Yamada Ichiro, Karasuma Ying is also clear.

Kenta is obsessed with art and is reluctant to get too involved in the company's affairs, but he is the only son of Ichiro Owada, and he is the only one who can inherit this huge family business.

As a result, conflicts between father and son erupted several years ago over the succession of the company.

Over the years, Kenta has been hiding in the United States and refusing to return to Japan, which is essentially a silent rebellion against his father.

But it's not a way to keep hiding like this, and I think Kenta is willing to go back to Japan this time, probably because he wants to use this party to have a complete showdown with his father......

Neither of them discussed this issue too much, Kenta looked at Karasuma Ying beside him, hesitated for a moment, and finally couldn't help but ask:

"Ying, you came to Japan this time, your grandfather ......"

"It has nothing to do with him, I came here on my own." Karasuma Ying shook her head slightly, as if she didn't want him to ask too much.

"Got it......"

Kenta nodded, and there was silence between the two of them for a moment.

He had known Karasuma Ying a few years ago, and he knew her identity, as well as her controlling grandfather......

"Okay, Kenta, don't waste your time with me, as the president's son, you should have a lot to do at tonight's party, right? Hurry up and go. ”

"Okay, you have to pay more attention to Na Ying, after all, that monster thief Kidd is likely to come tonight."

"Don't worry, I've heard that the strange thief Kidd only steals gems, and Kenta Ling is more worried about your emerald than me."

"I understand."

After a short period of catching up, Kenta left directly, as Karasuma Ying said, tonight's party does need to be hosted by him.

"Did you know each other?"

Behind her, a cold voice suddenly sounded, and Karasuma Ying turned her head sharply, only to find that Ashbara was standing behind her at some point.

"Little mourning? When did you come? A little flustered, Karasuma Ying asked with a smile.

"Just now."

Gray Yuan looked at her with a meaningful smile on her face, but she soon retracted the smile and changed back to her usual expressionless appearance.

"It's really surprising that Sister Xiaoying would know the son of such a big consortium."

"It's not that exaggerated, it's just a friend I met by chance at an art exhibition......"

"Alas~ Then why does Sister Xiaoying want to deliberately hide your relationship?"

"Because Kenta is not married yet, I am afraid that our relationship will cause him trouble." Karasuma Ying barely managed to keep the smile on her face.

[This child's words are really sharp......]

"Ah, that's it, I see."

Ash Yuan mourned the small hand behind his back, nodded, and then turned and walked towards Dr. Asasa not far away.

It seems that she believes Karasuma Ying's explanation?

“……”

After admiring Eddid Company's various luxury luxuries in the banquet hall on the first floor, the crowd was gradually guided to the main venue of the party, the stage on the top floor of the West Tower Building.

Here, the show will really begin.

In order not to let the possible monster thief Kidd affect the progress of the party, Ed Company is also well-intentioned this time.

As for the Tears of Cleopatra, which is placed in the banquet hall on the first floor, the police will temporarily take over the protection.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Tonight is the 20th anniversary of the establishment of Eddid Group, thank you very much for coming! Here I represent my father......"

On stage, Kenta was speaking a toast in place of Ichiro Owada, who was not present.

Under the stage, which was full of people, Karasuma Ying finally learned some of the arrangements for tonight's party from the mouth of the waiter.

It starts with a toast to the gala, followed by the first wave of fireworks, followed by a second wave ten minutes later, followed by a fashion show starring Chrissy Wynyard......

So, that person should have been preparing in the background by now, right?

After a short period of thought, Karasuma stood up and said to Moriran:

"Xiaolan, I'll go to the bathroom and come back soon."

She decided to go backstage to see what was going on, and if she had the chance, she would confront the man directly.

【Bathroom?】 】

Conan, who was on the side, heard this word and suddenly had an idea.

He had just learned from a waitress that Chrissy Wynyard's fashion show was about to start.

At this time, Belmode she will definitely be preparing in the background! He could have taken this opportunity to confront her!

"Sister Xiaoying! I'll go too! ”

Thinking like this, Conan jumped up and grabbed Karasuma's hand, his tone cute.

"Huh? Conan? ”

Seeing this, Gray Yuan Wai next to him suddenly got up and said lightly:

"I want to go too."

"Ahh

Her gaze swept back and forth between the three of them, and a look of doubt suddenly appeared on her face.

"Sister Ying, what are you ...... Have you eaten a bad stomach? ”

"Uh, that ......"

"Hum—"

Suddenly, a piercing electric sound sounded, making everyone in the venue subconsciously cover their heads.

Shortly after, a young man's voice resounded throughout the room.

"Ladies! Gentlemen! Good evening! ”

The voice...... Is it Kidd?!

Conan covered his head and subconsciously looked around the venue.

That guy, did you finally show up?
