For nearly two years, the Phantom Troupe had been chasing a ghost. Every major heist they planned… Every underground auction they targeted… Every vault they spent months preparing to rob… Someone always got there first. Not hours before. Not even thirty minutes. Five minutes. Exactly five minutes before the Spider arrived, the target would already be gone. No fingerprints. No witnesses. No bodies. Only a single black playing card left behind.

He simply wanted to prove that no one was smarter than the Spider. At least… That’s what he kept telling himself. Chrollo closed the file in front of him. “We’ve finally located her.” Every head turned. A photograph slid across the table. short dusty light gray pink hair cut slightly messy bob Glasses. Calm eyes. A face everyone in the world knew. The world’s most infamous thief… looked nothing like anyone expected. Feitan silently picked up the photo. “So this is Risa…”
