Chapter 77: Endless Imagination!

The organization speculated that Gin might be the organization's boss's biological son or a direct descendant, believing that he would definitely be the organization's successor. This is why, despite fearing his ruthless style, they still respected him and obeyed his every command.

When he investigated Vermouth's relationship with the organization's boss, he thought this speculation was as unbelievable as the rumors about Rum's confidants—men, women, old people, and so on. Could it actually be true?

Just like how one's target is clearly the organization's boss, but is misled by the organization's intelligence and ends up on Rum's side, Vermouth is the organization's boss's shield, deliberately misleading undercover agents like herself or other intelligence agents?

If the truth is that Gin and his sister are the ones the organization's boss truly wants to protect, then Gin's sister is the second in line to succeed him? Hagiwara also said that Gin's sister acquired this ability in 2025.

Does this mean the organization has truly broken through the time travel technology by 2025? So it's only natural that Gin's sister controls this technology, but... such an important technology, time travel must be treated with utmost care.

Shouldn't it be Gin who controls and carries out the related activities? Why is it that Gin's sister is in control instead? Based on my understanding of Gin and the naive tone in his sister's voice during that phone call just now...

Gin is clearly the kind of person groomed to be his successor. There's no reason to entrust such an important ability to someone naive and lacking the qualities of a criminal gang heir...

Unless the right person for this technology is no longer alive when it is completed, and the organization's boss has no other choice but to select Gin's sister to master it...

What could have caused Gin's absence? If the organization had already disappeared in 2025, failed to continue researching this incredible time-travel technology, and was controlled by Gin's sister, who is suspected to be a direct descendant of the organization's boss.

He would feel that it was definitely Scotland's sacrifice that made his undercover work worthwhile, and that he had dismantled and brought to justice this huge, terrifying transnational criminal organization that also possessed a lot of cutting-edge technology research by 2025.

But in 2025, the organization still exists, and he hasn't achieved the goals he set when he went undercover in the next 10 years. The successor chosen by the organization's boss is gone, and his sister controls the time travel technology and is very hostile to Rum, but she doesn't have any aversion to him...

All of this suggests that, probably before 2025, Rum may have indeed betrayed the organization's boss, launched an operation to usurp power, murder Gin, the organization's heir, and killed Gin.

This internal strife also led to the organization's boss, who had no successor, having no choice but to settle for cultivating Gin's sister. As Rum's 'confidant,' he himself may have been forced into this internal conflict.

He was eliminated along with Rum during the "suppression" operation by the organization's BOSS, which prevented his undercover work from achieving its intended goals. Furthermore, this "internal strife" likely occurred recently, probably within the last two or three years.

Before encountering Hagiwara and his group today, he felt he had almost completely investigated the organization's criminal bases, the identities of its members, its assets, and various pieces of evidence... all that was missing was confirmation.

After recognizing the true identity and face of the organization's BOSS, they were all arrested.

.

He has indeed been working hard in this direction recently. If nothing unexpected happens, as long as he captures either Shuichi Akai or Sherry, it will serve as proof that his relationship with Rum is just that of a normal superior and subordinate, and that his loyalty is always to the organization's BOSS.

There is a high chance that they will receive an honor such as a personal reward from the organization's boss. Once the identity of the other party is confirmed and it is confirmed that the other party is in Japan, the entire criminal gang can be arrested.

He didn't think that Shuichi Akai or Sherry could stump him and keep him from catching them for many years. So, he was likely to be forced into the struggle between Rum and the organization's boss and become cannon fodder before he could catch them.

Of course, it's also possible that my identity was exposed before that, but that's unlikely. My identity was highly encrypted, and I didn't infiltrate the organization using channels from the Public Security Bureau, Metropolitan Police Department, or other police-related assistance agencies...

The reason Gin's sister used time travel technology was likely to change Gin's fate of death. The fact that this technology could be completed in 2025 may also be the reason why Gin's sister is willing to do everything in her power to support this research.

When Hagiwara was rescued, the technology was probably still in the experimental stage and had yielded results, which is why the time coordinates were wrong. Today's time is closer to the time coordinates when Gin had the accident.

The reason Hagiwara and the others asked for his phone was so they could contact him next time the time coordinates were wrong, to prepare for the next time travel? Until they completely changed Gin's fate of death?

Bourbon felt uneasy after speculating and 'imagining' these things. How could Gin, a scumbag who had killed countless people, have a sister who cared about him so much and was even willing to reverse time to change his fate of death?

This feeling made him ignore the other person's question and sarcastically remark to Gin: "Heh... You're lucky to have a sister who's willing to travel through time to change your fate of death."

“They really did say a lot of unnecessary things to you!” Hearing Bourbon’s irrelevant reply, Gin was once again convinced that Dalmore and Granwitt trusted Bourbon so much that they had even told Bourbon about the fat pig’s desire to change his crash.

Bourbon wouldn't be planning to leak this information to Rum, would he?! If he's planning that, hmph... I don't care if he's my fat pig boyfriend's trusted best friend or not! o(￣ヘ￣o＃)

Completely unaware that Gin had been misled by his own imagined words, Bourbon became even more convinced of his previous reasoning after hearing that Gin did not deny that his sister wanted to change his fate of death.

At the same time, he realized that his current situation was just as dangerous as he had deduced. Since Gin's sister had passed on the future that Rum would kill him to Gin, given Gin's personality, he would definitely choose to strike first.

The duel between Rei and Rum will definitely happen sooner than originally planned. At that time, the organization's boss will definitely side with Gin, and Rei will suffer the same fate as in the previous future, being eliminated as Rum's confidant. Not to mention that Rei now knows the secret of time travel.

No! I absolutely cannot go back to what I once knew.

The future is the same. My friend died in the line of duty, and I failed to achieve the goal I had worked so hard for for seven years. I became cannon fodder in the internal power struggle of the organization. This time, I have to find a way to transfer myself to the safe side of the victors.

.

Without a doubt, Gin's side will be the victor in the next internal power struggle. After all, with the help of future intelligence, even if things go wrong, Gin's sister can travel through time to change the situation.

This means I absolutely cannot be tied to Rum. The question is, how can I switch sides so that I don't lose my current advantage in the organization and can still get closer to the organization's deeper secrets?

Fortunately, for some reason, Gin has some information gap with his sister and mistakenly believes that the time travel technology is in Rum's hands. He probably thinks he has messed up and that Rum must have taken over!

Then I'll take advantage of that. I just hope that Hagiwara has enough influence with Gin's sister and won't expose me. Cough... given Gin's sister's dislike of Rum, she should give me that face.

After deducing these things, Bourbon, despite not being sure of Gin's sister's attitude, decided to strike first and deliberately made a misleading statement: "I don't think their words are superfluous. Wouldn't it be good to be able to foresee the future and avoid taking detours?"

"Oh! They also told you other future information?" Could it be key information from the future Rum to the Rum of this period? So, Darmo and Granwitt are indeed on Rum's side? But why does the fat pig trust them so much? Gin still couldn't figure this out.

"Tsk! I did mention something about how you fell into Rum's hands. I discovered Rum's betrayal and reported it to the BOSS. Although the BOSS dealt with Rum and his confidants in time, I, the traitor in Rum's eyes, was seriously injured as a result."

Later, I could only work in training new people within the organization. It was during this period that I met Granwitt, Dalmore, and the others. They told me that we became close friends who could talk about anything. Bourbon's acting was on point, with the script already planned.

He deliberately clicked his tongue to show that he was also skeptical about these things before revealing his script. Then, in order to prevent Gin from asking about the details of the script and to avoid revealing any flaws before he could contact Hagiwara again.

He then said something that could confuse Gin: "By the way! When you contacted me just now, you seemed to have misunderstood that the time travel technology was controlled by Rum. I don't know why you made such an outrageous guess?"

But the truth is that Granwitt himself told me that this technology was acquired by your sister in 2025 and is only available to her. They traveled back to this era to change your fate of death.

Although he didn't elaborate further, I could tell that your sister's ability regarding time coordinates seemed inaccurate, requiring further attempts. It would likely require entering the timeline of your accident to change your fate of death.

"...You mean Rum was taken care of after me?" Because the phone call with Darmo did reveal that the time travel ability was controlled by the piglet, Gin felt that Bourbon's words were quite credible.

Therefore, misled by the script that Bourbon had imagined and fabricated, Gin had to overturn his original reasoning that Rum was the mastermind and start over after hearing what he said. Gin felt that at least half of what Bourbon said was credible.
