Chapter 475

Hearing the shouts of the crowd, Vodka was drenched in sweat.

Big brother usually keeps quiet and is quite good at it, so why couldn't he hold back today? Is he still holding a grudge against Shuichi Akai?

But you really can't blame Potts for what happened with Shuichi Akai! Potts did everything he could! He gave all the necessary reminders!

So, he couldn't take it anymore and wanted to refute Potts on the topic of undercover work?

Brother, you're so foolish!

When you really think about it, it's clearly Rum's fault! But look at how the others reacted, they're obviously holding a grudge against you!

Vodka sensed that things were not going well and quickly interjected, "Well, well, it's mainly because Rum thinks the intelligence source is reliable. We were just following orders."

Although saying this offended Rum, there was no other way but to relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao!

Potts' voice still sounded cheerful, as if he wasn't angry at all because of Gin's words.

“I think so too. Rum was too gullible. The person who provided the intelligence was so convincing that he was deceived. It’s not that trusting others is the problem, but that the person who deceived him is the problem. Everyone makes mistakes, that’s normal… It’s just that he didn’t know his own capabilities and forced the flawed plan to continue, which resulted in heavy losses for the organization. That’s not good.”

Although the boss didn't say anything, he was definitely present and listened quietly.

Upon hearing this, he even agreed and automatically embellished his memory—indeed, regardless of why Rum believed the person who provided the information, he agreed because he trusted Rum, since Rum's words were so eloquent.

Countless members of the organization longed for his trust! His trust in Rum was a reward, but Rum betrayed it!

“Compared to Rum, Gin’s actions actually puzzle me more. Gin, don’t you find anything suspicious at all? And you acted too quickly. I’m starting to suspect that you’re working with Rum to wipe out the organization’s core forces in one fell swoop!”

Potts continued his long-winded explanation, which appeared to be very logical.

Although some mentally ill people have their own set of logic, Potts is clearly not one of them... He doesn't seem as insane as the rumors suggest.

The four members of the organization, who were meeting Potness for the first time, couldn't help but think to themselves.

Has Potts really offended someone?

Gin replied coldly, "I'm just following orders."

Potts: "I get it, you're shirking responsibility, but if the boss just wants a good knife, why does it have to be you? Since you're human, sometimes you should use your brain!"

Gin: "…………"

Gin was too lazy to argue anymore; anyway, if the Boss wasn't out of his mind, he'd know it was Rum's fault.

In fact, Boss did think Rum had a lot of problems—but was Gin completely without any problems?!

The Boss felt he was right, so he reasonably forgot that he had actually hoped Gin was just a sword without his own thoughts, that he would only hit wherever he was told. He started to wonder why Gin hadn't thought things through at all.

Look at Potts! Something's not right. Even though it has nothing to do with him, he still contacted him immediately. He wasn't afraid at all that he might be wrong and it might affect his impression of him. He completely put the organization's interests first.

People shouldn't compare themselves to others; once they do, even problems that weren't there will become apparent.

The Boss did remember that Gin and Rum had a bad relationship, but now he was skeptical and decided to test the waters.

While the boss shifted all the blame onto others, Potts had already entered the debriefing phase.

"Anyway, although we haven't found anything wrong, I suggest we leave these four people alone for now and not execute them. We'll wait until Rum finds Curaçao and ask him about the infiltration in detail... Oh, right, let's not trouble two people at once, how about we let Gin be in charge of finding them?"

The boss thought it was okay.

He also wanted to give Gin a chance to redeem himself... and observe Gin's condition while he was at it.

Hopefully, Gin won't disappoint him again.

Having successfully exploited the superior's reluctance to admit their mistakes, Bo Yezhai made a graceful exit... However, he still made another private phone call to the Boss.

"Although it's absurd that the Japanese Public Security Bureau has a list of agents from all over the world who have infiltrated the organization, there is a certain possibility that the list is real. We must investigate those four people thoroughly, and also investigate the people who have died."

Boss: "You're adding to the intelligence team's workload again."

The words were meant to be reproachful, but the tone didn't sound like one at all; it sounded more like a mixture of helplessness and doting affection for a younger person.

Usakabe Saiki said with great concern, “I know, but there’s nothing we can do about it. Even Shuichi Akai couldn’t find any flaws back then… But I think that if we add those who died, and there are more than twenty people, as long as we can find one who is really suspicious, then it doesn’t matter if we kill the rest of them. After all, they are all on the list. We can’t take risks, but if there are so many people and not a single one is suspicious… then we have to consider that this is a trap.”

Hearing Usoya Saiki repeatedly refer to "us" as "us," the Boss felt very gratified.

Sure enough, with both his parents dead and his adoptive father gone, only the organization could give him a sense of home. Although he didn't do any work, he still felt a strong sense of belonging when trouble came up!

When Potts isn't having an episode, he's genuinely logical and intelligent, yet he poses no threat. This allows the boss to appreciate him more sincerely, without being swayed by suspicion.

"You're right." The organization's boss tentatively suggested giving Bo Yezai some authority. "You'll be in charge of this?"

Usoppei said firmly, "No, it's too much trouble. I hate interpersonal relationships. I feel like nobody likes me. I prefer to hang out with ordinary people. Working with a bunch of people who hate me is exhausting."

To the Boss, this meant that Bo Yezaki had terrible interpersonal relationships within the organization, and that they could only rely on his evidence. He was quite pleased, after all, what emperor doesn't like a loyal subject?

Although this loyal minister doesn't do any work, he might come in handy in the future!

Furthermore, if Potts had any ulterior motives and wanted to eliminate Gin or Rum, this would be the perfect opportunity. However, Potts had no interest in it. This kid is so lazy that he still dares to report Rum. Rum needs to reflect on his actions.

The Boss even patiently taught Usakabe Saiki: "You're such a child... Don't care what other people think. If you have power, even people who don't like you will act like they like you in front of you."

The fact that others disliked him but couldn't do anything about him was actually a form of entertainment for him, who was able to suppress those people. Boss used to enjoy it when he was young and impetuous. Although he has calmed down now, he still thinks it is an experience worth teaching Botnes.

"Forget it, I actually had an appointment with someone, but I felt this matter was too serious, so I had to take the time to report it..."

Usoya Saiki's words were practically prioritizing the organization over the promises made to ordinary people, but the Boss wasn't angry. He just sighed that the kid was really naive, but his sincerity was more pleasing to the eye than feigned loyalty.

Moreover, Potneys, who values ​​going out to have fun so much, rushed to report the situation to him as soon as he realized something was wrong. Doesn't that further demonstrate that he still puts the organization first when it matters most?

Regarding Potts, although he occasionally has doubts, the Boss has generally gotten used to making excuses for Potts and has put on a 'good boy' filter.

“Then let’s leave this to Rum.” Boss didn’t force Bo Ye Zaiji to take over. “I want to see how he handles it.”

Rum didn't even know that he was able to continue doing this job because Potts didn't care about the power that was handed to him, so it ended up on his shoulders as a substitute.

He was still feeling fortunate that his boss would allow him to make amends.

But since things had escalated to this point, Rum thought about it for a while and decided to discuss with Gin how to handle the situation.

He and Gin didn't have a good relationship before, for many reasons, but unexpectedly they became close because of a report from Potts.

Gin quickly returned to Japan with vodka, while the other four were still detained abroad, awaiting the results of their investigation.

Before they left, these people were still cursing Gin. Gin was very unhappy. He felt it was all Rum and Potts' fault, but he didn't want to settle scores with Potts. So when Rum contacted him, he treated Rum very badly.

"How did you investigate?" Gin, who had been implicated, was not polite at all and showed no respect for the second-in-command. Anyway, their relationship had been bad before, so one more time wouldn't make a difference.

But Rum knew he was in the wrong, so he could only swallow his anger and say, "Now is not the time to talk about this. Let's find Curaçao first and have her explain to the Boss herself."

Gin: "It'll be a while before I arrive in Japan. Who's looking for me?"

"Vermouth".

Before Usopp went to the Boss to complain, Vermouth had actually been asked to find the missing Curaçao.

Based on the accident scene, police reports, and other clues, she deduced that the other party might have drifted along the river to the newly opened aquarium and was looking for someone there.

A terrifying thing happened: she finally found Curaçao, only to discover that she seemed to have amnesia! She didn't recognize her!

Vermouth: "…………"

She was speechless and could only contact Rum, but Rum said that he was busy investigating other things and told her to talk to Gin first, as Gin was in charge of this.

Vermouth: "???"

She searched for a long time, wondering what had happened that made Rum and Gin suddenly reconcile?

Completely bewildered, Vermouth contacted Gin: "What's going on? Rum actually asked me to report to you."

Gin succinctly replied: "Potnis."

Vermouth: "...Understood."

No further explanation was needed; with just a code name, Vermouth felt she understood everything.

It's finally Rum's turn! But why this time? Why is Rum suddenly being targeted?

Vermouth was completely baffled, so she could only tell Gin about what she had gained.

"Whether she has amnesia or not, find a way to bring her back, any means necessary." Gin was getting fed up with this stupid mission.

He was having a great time killing undercover agents, but Potniss insisted on interfering, turning what he loved most into what he hated most.

He hated any task involving Potts.

Vermouth sighed. "Okay, I got it."

She hung up the phone, thought for a moment, and instead of immediately continuing to observe Curaçao, she made another call.

After a while, the phone was answered.

Vermouth started taking a shortcut: "Potnis, are you free now? I have something to ask you."

Boss: Rum certainly has a lot of problems, but does Gin have absolutely no problems?

Boss: Potts is still a child; I need to teach him the beauty of power.

Gin & Rum: ? ? ?
