Chapter 213

Akemi Miyano's acting skills are actually quite good, but she couldn't withstand such provocative words from Saiki Usaba, and her expression changed slightly.

Thanks to her cousin's warning, Miyano Akemi knew that Usui Saiki probably already knew everything, so her reaction wasn't too strong.

Usoppō asked curiously, "So, what are your plans?"

Miyano Akemi held the mop in her hand, pondering how she should respond in a way that wouldn't seem perfunctory, given that the other person had already gone this far.

After all, trying to be clever in front of smart people will only make you look like a clown.

"...I don't know." In the end, Akemi Miyano simply answered, bewildered but honestly, "What does Mr. Potts think I should do?"

Usoya Saiki encouraged, "You can report him to the organization as an FBI agent."

Akemi Miyano: "…………"

Given her position within the organization as Potness's subordinate, she suspected that if she actually reported him, she would suffer the same fate as Ray had not long ago, with everyone asking her, "Did Potness tell you to say that?"

“Just kidding, I know you can’t do it.” Bo Yezhai leaned against the pile of cushions on the sofa. “Given your sister… Sherry’s status and importance, it’s unnecessary for you to make any contributions to the organization, anyway, it won’t be any better than it is now.”

Miyano Akemi agreed with this statement. She felt that Usui Saiki was indeed seriously analyzing the situation for her, and her expression became more focused as she waited for what was to come.

"So I suggest you stop thinking about it yourself and let Ray convince you how to get you to take the risk and believe him."

Bo Yezaki doesn't really like making decisions for others, especially important matters that affect the future. If you don't take care of your own life, then it's all someone else's problem if you regret it later, right?

So, Usakabe Saiki immediately shifted the workload: "Right now, your situation is that if you don't leave the organization, things will stay the same. The organization won't do anything to you, so of course, the FBI, who wants to take you away, needs to persuade you!"

Admittedly, the Miyano sisters live under the organization's surveillance and have little freedom, but compared to the risk of failing to escape with the FBI, their current life is not so unbearable.

Aside from the slight regret of not being able to see her sister whenever she wanted, Akemi Miyano lived a life most of the time that was no different from that of an ordinary person. She went to school normally, and even went all the way to university. She didn't have any close friends, but she could still get by with a few superficial friends. After all these years, she had long since adapted.

As for Shiho Miyano, she was born and raised in the organization. Although she seemed to have seen more of the organization's dark side than Akemi Miyano, who was on the periphery, those dark sides couldn't hurt her when she was an executive. She could even curse Gin, and Gin could only endure it in order not to affect the progress of the experiment. When the sisters chatted, Akemi Miyano didn't feel any fear from her younger sister, only annoyance at being a nuisance and being monitored.

That's why Akemi Miyano hesitated so much about the offer from the FBI—because their lives hadn't yet reached a dead end.

If they were experimental subjects kidnapped by an organization, and failure wouldn't be any worse, then they would definitely agree.

It can only be said that the organization put a lot of effort into controlling the Miyano sisters, considering Sherry's genius.

However, although Usaku Saiki doesn't like making decisions for others, he can still offer some advice.

So he kindly added, "However, if you refuse, you should also consider that if Lai runs away on his own, the organization might have second thoughts about your current relationship, and it could implicate you..."

Akemi Miyano nodded solemnly: "Thank you, I understand."

Then she turned to Lai and briefly recounted her conversation with Usui.

Ray: "...That's what he said?"

Akemi Miyano: "Yes, is there a problem?"

Lei: "…………"

The biggest problem is—that kid Usaku Saiki, he puts on airs in front of me, but he doesn't put on any airs in front of Miyano Akemi, right?!

Vodka said that Bo Ye Saiki lacked maternal love, which he initially thought was nonsense, but now the more he looks at it, the more it seems to make sense.

No, we can't let our guard down yet. What if Usui Saiki is trying to influence him through Miyano Akemi...?

"So what do you think?" Ray asked.

Akemi Miyano looked at him and said, "I hope you can help me analyze the pros and cons, or tell me about your plan so I can see if it's feasible."

Lei: "..."

"I'm sorry, but since it concerns Shiho, I can let it go, but if Shiho gets involved in something like defection, the loss for her would be too great..."

Lei sighed, "I understand, but I need some time too."

What exactly is Usaku Saiki thinking?

Knowing he's an FBI agent, they haven't made any move to arrest him, and have even offered defection advice to Shiho Miyano...

Compared to Miyano Akemi, Rai actually wanted to have a proper talk with Usui Saiki, but thinking about his previous experiences, he felt that going to talk to him would not yield any results, so he decided not to waste his time.

On the contrary, Gin finally returned from America, and perhaps he finally developed some doubts about the way Usui looked at the undercover agent, and actually began to investigate him...

Let's proceed with the most conservative approach to planning the next steps—assuming that one day, Gin will suddenly bring people to capture him, and make a decision as soon as possible.

Gin is back, and naturally, vodka is back with him.

After giving himself two days off, Bo Ye Saiki couldn't wait to call and bother Vodka.

“Vodka, have you seen the news?” Bo Ye Saiki said in a contemptuous tone. “Prumia was taken down by the Japanese police—you have so many people, how come you can’t even beat the Japanese police? Tell me, when you sent someone to recruit Pramia, did you deliberately choose a good-for-nothing?”

Vodka got angry when he heard the implication that he was an undercover agent: "Have you had enough? Even if I let you persuade Pramia, can you guarantee that you will definitely get her to join?"

"Isn't it because you know I'll succeed that you're refusing my help?"

"...I'm a bit busy right now, we can talk about it later."

After painstakingly brushing off Usoya Saiki's phone call, Vodka truly felt like he had escaped death.

Gin, who was reviewing the documents, glanced at him.

Vodka summarized in his report: "Potnis is making sarcastic remarks about Pramia's death and is trying to smear me again as an undercover agent."

This summary sounded so mundane that Gin looked away and continued with his work.

Pramia did cause some trouble for the organization, but it stopped in time and suffered no huge losses. The organization also bombed several of Pramia's safe houses in an attempt to destroy any potentially leaked information.

This period of time is also sufficient for the organization to take some actions to minimize the impact of information leakage.

For the organization, there aren't many guys like Pramia who refuse to be recruited and dare to resist, but there are some. Since he's already dead, the organization has withdrawn the bounty on Pramia, and that's it.

They're already dead, what's there to worry about?

Moreover, Pramia's body did not fall into the hands of other forces, but rather into the hands of the Japanese police. There were also members of the organization within the organization, so if Pramia had left behind any information about the organization, their people would have promptly relayed the message.

Then there's even less need for an executive of Gin's stature to pay attention.

Because Kanakawa Shinryu resigned at this particular time, and given his aversion to public recognition and the unsuitable image he projected, the Metropolitan Police Department conveniently attributed the credit to the entire police force, adding artistic embellishment to downplay his individual role. As a result, Kanakawa Shinryu received no mention in the news and propaganda. Furthermore, the organization's undercover agents within the police force didn't see anything worth reporting on in this regard. Consequently, when the name Kanakawa Shinryu is mentioned to Gin and Vodka, they have absolutely no recollection of him.

The system remarked: "Was this also part of your plan, Thin Leaf?"

I thought it was just about finding an opportunity to resign, but now it seems like the Metropolitan Police Department's reaction was also taken into account...

Although Bo Yezaki was aware of the situation, he was also worried about unexpected events. He tested the waters with Vodka and confirmed that the organization had no further plans for Pramia, so he put Pramia out of his mind.

There are more important things to keep an eye on than Pramiya.

One issue was Shuichi Akai's reaction and the arrangements for the Miyano sisters; the other was his own resignation.

The former will probably take some time. After all, Shuichi Akai would be unwilling to leave without bringing something back after his undercover mission, so he will definitely need to choose a good time. He can help advise him.

Let's deal with the latter first.

He's been out of contact for three days; it's about time he said something.

So Usoppei reinserted the SIM card and then turned on the phone.

Although many people have his contact information, few dare to call or email him, so there was no situation where the computer would freeze up immediately upon startup. Inspector Megure and a few other colleagues called him three or four times, and each of them sent him an email on average.

Kenji Hagiwara was also very restrained, sending him an email every day and contacting him whenever he turned on his phone, but he made more phone calls, probably to test when he would turn on his phone.

Matsuda Jinpei didn't make many phone calls, but he received a lot of emails. When he opened them, they were all complaining about his act of running away, asking him if it was necessary to just disappear without a trace after resigning.

Of course it's necessary. If it weren't for the fact that three days have passed and everyone has calmed down, Bo Yezhaiji would still want to remain out of contact. He doesn't like being persuaded.

While Usakabe was checking his emails, Kenji Hagiwara suddenly called, and he answered instinctively.

Kenji Hagiwara seemed to have gotten used to the fact that his phone was always off when he called these past few days. When the call was suddenly answered, he was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything for a while.

It was Bo Yezaki who spoke first: "Second year of graduate school?"

“Little Fukami…” Kenji Hagiwara snapped out of his daze, and even he couldn’t help but make a sarcastic remark, “Finally, it’s turned on?”

"Um, what's up? If it's to persuade me not to resign, I'll hang up now."

Although he was a little annoyed, Kenji Hagiwara could barely understand Shinryu Kasukawa's thoughts. He was afraid of trouble and didn't want to argue with his friend, so he made a clean break, just like quitting his job because he didn't want to get up early, without giving anyone a chance to bargain.

To avoid any misunderstanding, Kenji Hagiwara quickly explained the proposed solution from the Metropolitan Police Department to Saiki Usui: "...That's it. I think it's quite sincere. Do you want to reconsider? Or if there are any other difficulties, we can discuss them."

Usakabe Saiki was surprised to hear this, not expecting the Metropolitan Police Department to make such a concession, which made him hesitate... He couldn't think of a reason to refuse for the time being. He could still go to the scene of cases to increase his suspicion level, and his activity time was more flexible...

However, he couldn't make a decision so quickly, so he said rather reservedly, "I understand, I'll think about it."

Hearing that he didn't immediately refuse, Hagiwara Kenji knew there was hope, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, with Inspector Megure urging him every day, he would go bald: "How long do you think you'll need to consider it?"

"Three days," Bo Yezaki suggested, giving a timeframe that was neither too long nor too short.

“No problem,” Kenji Hagiwara said. “Don’t turn off your phone for the next few days. I’ve already persuaded you not to. No one will bother you.”

Kenji Hagiwara can persuade those around him not to disturb him, but he can't persuade others.

While Usui Saiki was still considering whether to return to the Metropolitan Police Department as an advisor, he received a strange phone call.

"Mr. Kankawa, hello. I heard you recently resigned from the Metropolitan Police Department... Would you consider joining us?"

Shuichi Akai: You're so open with me, the riddle teller, and with my cousin, and you even help me with defection counseling, huh?
