Chapter 114 The Final Deal
The atmosphere at the banquet became even more strange after the royal family members arrived. Gonzalez stood in the center of the hall, with the organization and Waldman and others on his right, and the royal family and the remnants of Barr's faction on his left.
The royal family sent the eldest prince Vicente and the third princess Natalie, who were both nearly 50 years old. But because their father, the current king of Mexico, had not passed away, they could only be princes and princesses no matter how old they were.
Natalie was not concerned about the matter. She was chatting with a few ladies while showing off her gems and was completely oblivious to the tense atmosphere.
Vincent was standing not far from the hall door, his expression revealing an uncontrollable nervousness. He was surrounded by several burly men in suits, who looked like bodyguards disguised as aristocrats.
Vicente is not the next heir to Mexico. He is a successful photographer with his own property and family in the United States. He does not usually participate in Mexico's political struggles. His appearance here is particularly strange.
It was as if he was a gift sent by Mexico as a symbol of sincerity, or in other words, a sacrifice.
But the question is, who is this attitude for, the organization or Gonzalez? Which party did the royal family reach a cooperation with?
In any case, the fact that Vicente was here proved that something big was going to happen tonight. Whether it was the royal family and the organization working together to eliminate Gonzalez, or Gonzalez actually secretly teaming up with the royal family to drive the organization away, it showed that this matter would not end easily.
Finding the situation beyond his imagination, Toru Amuro had to consider the possibility of reaching a cooperation with Yayoi Kazukage. Yayoi Kazukage knew his identity and saved him. At present, it seems that not only do they have the same interests, but also morally speaking, he should repay Yayoi Kazukage.
So he stood beside Kazukage Yayoi and reminded him in a low voice: "I will stay with you for a while. When the people from the organization ask you, you can say that you have discovered my disguise. Because of Gin's reminder, you don't want to eat the food I gave you. And because of Rum's order, I have to follow you and find an opportunity to take action."
"Also, I'm not sure about Gin's attitude. Logically speaking, this should be Rum's personal behavior. You may not know that Rum and Gin have always had a grudge. Rum has served the boss since he was born and thinks he is the boss's most loyal subordinate. But for some reason, the boss finally chose to give Gin the greatest authority."
"Rum hates Gin very much, so he wants to cause more trouble for him and drag him into trouble. I guess the reason why Rum attacked you is also because of Gin. After all, Gin is too good to you, even better than he usually is to others. Rum might..."
I didn't expect to hear such words one day, and Kage Yayoi interrupted in disbelief: "Wait, who is nice to me, Gin?!"
When Toru Amuro said he was good to him, did he mean to stab him with a knife and then plant explosives? Or did he mean to force him to kill someone, then drag him into a fight, and then drag him to be injected with interrogation drugs when he was almost dead?
It was too advanced and too abstract. He, who was not a human, could not understand it and expressed great shock.
"Mr. Amuro... I know some people have special fetishes, but I think this kind of thing should be based on mutual consent. You and Gin like this..."
"Well... I have no objection to a relatively niche hobby. But I think this is not the normal way for humans to interact... right? Should it?" Could it be that he had misunderstood it all along?
Sensing Kazukage Yayoi's hesitation, Morobushi Kagemitsu silently held his forehead to interrupt the other party's bad thoughts, "No, Mr. Amuro doesn't mean that. Mr. Gin's actions are certainly not normal behavior. I think Mr. Amuro means that compared to Mr. Gin's attitude towards other people, he is very good to you... Well, at least he prepared dessert for you?"
Kazukage Yayoi was about to say something, but stopped, "... Is the price he paid for nearly blowing us and himself up into the air?" Even though the cake was delicious, it shouldn't be so precious, right? !
Morobushi Kagemitsu was silent when asked. In fact, from his perspective, Gin really trusted Kazue Yayoi, otherwise Gin would not have handed the explosives that could kill him to Kazue Yayoi. But the problem is that he has not revealed his plan in front of Zero. As Oda Hiro, he should not know Gin at all.
"The Gin I know wouldn't prepare dessert for me even if he blew me up to the sky." Amuro Toru shrugged, "If Gin likes desserts, maybe he would order one for himself to celebrate, but he definitely wouldn't give it to me."
"Maybe you don't like Gin emotionally, but we don't look at that. Interests and goals are the key to judging whether people's relationship is friendly. Your interests, actions, and goals are consistent. Even if you don't like each other, you won't tear your face apart, and you may even help each other."
"Even if you say you don't like Gin, you still came to Mexico, and didn't you help Gin in the end?"
Kazukage Yayoi was speechless, "That's because... well, you are right. Although I don't like Gin, in the end, I did help him. I see, I thought people... people would care more about emotions rather than interests..."
"Hmm?" Kazukage Yayoi paused, his eyes swept over Gin, Vicente and Gonzalez, "I see... I understand."
This nonsensical sentence made Amuro Toru confused. He tilted his head and asked in confusion.
"It's okay, nothing happened. I finally understood something." He Jing Yayoi lowered his eyebrows, with a hint of smile in his gentleness. His tone was flat, as if he suddenly had a topic of interest: "Mr. Amuro, then may I ask if you are a person who believes that interests are more important than feelings?"
Amuro Toru was stunned. He didn't know why the topic suddenly turned to him. Even if he was "Furiya Rei", he had already chosen interests over feelings since he went undercover in the organization. After all, the interests of the country and the people were far more important than his personal feelings.
As an intelligence dealer, Toru Amuro naturally puts profit above all else. So he answered without any hesitation: "Emotions will not be the biggest reason for my actions."
Kazukage Yayoi glanced at the expressionless Morifushi Kagemitsu with amusement, "Well, that's a really big flag." He didn't believe that Amuro Toru could calmly make the best decision after seeing his dead childhood sweetheart resurrected.
Of course, Morobushi Kagemitsu knew what Kage Yayoi was talking about, but he agreed with Zero's statement from the bottom of his heart, so he could only pretend to smile gently and pretend that he didn't understand.
Toru Amuro noticed the subtle look in Kazukage Yayoi's eyes, and his heart sank.
Why did he look at Oda Hiro after saying this? Was the other person someone who could influence his actions? Or was it about his emotions?
He calmly looked at the man in front of him. If he had to say that this man would affect him, it was only because he was too similar to Hiro. Whether it was the ending tone of his speech or the unconscious bend of his fingers, they were exactly the same as Hiro's.
If the other party deliberately studied the behavior of a dead undercover agent before his death, it was a bit outrageous. Especially when He Jing Yasheng already knew his identity, it would not do any good except to increase his suspicion.
In other words, the other party was not deliberately imitating Hiro, but his own habits were highly similar to Hiro's.
"We are both God and devil, because we want to raise the dead..."
"What? Mr. Amuro, what did you say just now?" Kazukage Yayoi looked up in confusion. If it weren't for his good hearing, he wouldn't have heard what Amuro Toru said just now.
Amuro Toru stared at Kazukage Yayoi in a daze, then turned to look at Oda Hiroshi. Finding that both of them were waiting for his reply, he swallowed hard, then gave a false smile, "Nothing... I might have a fever and started talking nonsense."
Could it be that he was influenced by that annoying FBI? How come he also started to believe in these unreal things? No, no, when he returns this time, he must go find someone for psychological counseling. He feels that his three views have been distorted by Akai Shuichi. Amuro Toru couldn't help but pat his head.
Zhu Fu Jingguang sighed. Yayoi, did he really not hear what Zero just said? Yayoi seemed to be urging Zero to discover his true identity, but this goal was in conflict with him. Zhu Fu Jingguang didn't want Amuro Toru to discover his identity, so he reached out and gently touched Amuro Toru's forehead, "You have a little fever, do you want to rest?"
Amuro Toru was stunned. His fever was just an excuse. He knew that his body temperature was normal and might even be considered a little low. After all, he was losing blood. But the other party said that he had a little fever. Oda Hiro hoped that he would leave here, at least today.
Why?
"You don't have to worry about Mr. Amuro. Letting him rest now is almost the same as taking his life. For an information dealer, information is life, it is everything, right, Gin?"
Before Amuro Toru could continue thinking, Kazukage Yayoi rejected Morifushi Keimitsu's proposal. Gin walked out from the shadows and said, "If you want to ridicule Bourbon, you can do it directly. There's no need to drag me into this."
Kazukage Yayoi shrugged, "But you're here for me, oh, maybe ours?"
Gin's eyes were fixed on Bourbon's fake face. "Vermouth disguised you. What were you originally planning to do, Bourbon?"
"Can I ask first, how did you know I was Bourbon? I think the face made by Vermouth is pretty good?" Amuro Toru touched the rubber on his face. Kazukage Yayoi recognized him because he spoke, but why did Gin?
Gin tutted in disdain, "No matter what you look like, you can't hide the smell of medicine on you. Whoever let you in must have a problem with their sense of smell."
After saying that, he looked Bourbon up and down and said sarcastically, "Why, haven't you suffered enough at the hands of the FBI?"
Bourbon needed to explain why he was missing and injured, not to mention that he was taken away by the FBI. He had to make up a story that he was innocently implicated and then taken away by the FBI as a victim for treatment.
Fortunately, Shuichi Akai had done sufficient preliminary preparation, and the FBI really thought that they had taken away a victim, and the victim was picked up by his family after waking up.
"That's just my bad luck," Bourbon said with gritted teeth, "Who would have thought that I would encounter a serial killer while taking a hot spring bath!"
"Oh, and then you became a hostage in front of the FBI," Gin showed no sympathy at all. In his opinion, going to a hot spring alone, especially a public hot spring, was the stupidest thing to do.
Bourbon pulled the corner of his mouth with a forced smile, "I at least went to the FBI for a tour and added the contact information of several people."
"Heh, a bunch of incompetent rats, what's the point of adding them." Gin snorted coldly, "Don't think I didn't notice that you are changing the subject. What are you doing here?"
Seeing that Gin was still bringing up the topic, Bourbon, who originally didn't want to answer, had to tell him the truth reluctantly, "Lord Rum asked me to come here. He is alone and helpless, and he is afraid that he will be killed by you. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Gin obviously didn't believe Amuro Toru's lies, "Humph, isn't Vermouth in cahoots with him? You'd better not interfere in Mexico's affairs. This is not your mission."
Bourbon spread his hands innocently, "How could that be? I'm just doing some preliminary work. The Mexican affairs are almost over, aren't they?"
Gin unexpectedly did not respond to Bourbon's provocation, but said calmly: "Maybe, the real deal has not yet begun."
"With the royal family? I see Lord Rum and Vermouth are both with the royal family. Is your deal with them?" Amuro Toru asked tentatively. He was sent here by Rum under an excuse. Even Rum violated the rules, let alone him. He had no information at all.
"Do you think I will tell you?" Gin sneered, "Just wait and see. Don't move. If you die, don't blame me."
