Chapter 187
Vodka was shocked: "...Prumia?!"
To be honest, I had indeed heard of this name before, and I knew without even investigating that his skill level definitely met the organization's recruitment standards.
After all, Pramia is quite famous.
Those who handle bombs are always involved in big events, making it easier for them to become famous than snipers or similar professions. The fact that this person has committed so many crimes over the years without being caught proves that they are not only good at handling bombs, but also have a sharp mind.
This is exactly the smart newcomer that the boss needs!
The eldest brother constantly berates the organization's members for being brainless, failing to complete missions, and easily getting into trouble, forcing the organization to waste manpower on silencing them all day long...
Maybe Pramia can meet Big Brother's standards!
...But wait.
Vodka seemed to remember something and questioned, "Prumia is elusive, and no one knows his identity yet... Are you planning to tell the organization that Pramia is a talented person who can be hired, and then just leave everything else to his own devices?"
That makes being an HR person too easy. All they have to do is read the newspaper every day and write down the names of a few famous but uncaught criminals to get by.
I'm not expecting you to give me an address, but at least tell me the organization's real name or something, right?
Bo Yezaki snorted twice, then crossed his legs smugly: "So, you also agree that Pramia is a talent worth hiring, right?"
"...We acknowledge his talent, but just giving him a code name like this won't get us to recruit him."
“Of course, it’s not just about giving a code name.” Bo Yezaki looked even more smug; if he had a tail, it would probably be wagging long ago. “By the way, to correct you, it’s not him, it’s her.”
Vodka: "...?!?!?!?!"
This means they already know the other party's true identity!?
It's generally accepted worldwide that Pramia is a man, so this sudden bombshell from Usakabe Saiki... doesn't seem like a fabrication!
But why is it that after so many years and so many people around the world failed to discover it, only Usaku Saiki did?
Vodka initially found it hard to believe, but when he thought that this was Usoppai Ki... he became hesitant.
After all, Usoppei Saiki only met him by chance on the road, yet he could guess roughly where he was hiding in a safe house... Perhaps if he met Pramia by chance on the road, he could also guess where the other lived.
Given his eye for people, Pramia might actually be at the point where you'd notice something was off just by passing by...
"How do you know Pramia's true identity?" Vodka asked curiously.
Usoya Saiki: "You'll see when you see it."
Vodka: "...Never mind if you don't want to talk about it. Where is she now?"
Anyway, all that Bo Ye Saiki needs to do is provide the list and the way to find the other party; the organization can handle the rest.
Bo Yezaki readily provided five addresses in one go: "She has quite a few safe houses, you can choose whichever you like."
Vodka, however, didn't think it mattered: "It just shows she's cautious, which is good."
"Actually, I've been a bit bored lately. If you guys are really short-staffed, I can help persuade her..."
“No need!” Vodka quickly refused. “It’s not that bad, and besides, your negotiation failure rate is a bit high. After so many years, you finally managed to interview someone and then failed again. It must be affecting your performance, right?”
Usoppai has been in the organization for so many years, and he has only successfully persuaded two people, Chianti and Cohen. The others all failed to negotiate and were killed. It seems he is really not very good.
Someone of Pramia's caliber is a top-notch talent. It would be a waste to let someone like Usui Saiki, who's a real interview killer, go through with him!
"It's okay, even if my performance is negative, the organization won't fire me, right?" Bo Yezhai said with a smile. "The boss is really lenient with me. I want to know what I have to do before he gets angry."
Vodka: "...?"
That sounds ominous! Is Usakabe Saiki about to go crazy again?
“The Boss’s patience has its limits,” Vodka warned. “Don’t go around testing the organization’s limits. What are you dissatisfied with in your current life? Don’t be so heartless!”
The organization barely cares about Usaku Saiki. Even when he argues with people or acts unreasonably, the boss tries his best to side with him. If Usaku Saiki were to cause trouble for the boss, he would be truly heartless!
Usoba Saiki blinked: "Hmm? That doesn't make sense. If I were really that conscientious, why would I join an organization? I'd be a policeman, of course!"
Vodka: "...You still dream of being a policeman?"
Bo Yezaki argued vehemently, "You said it yourself, I'm very suitable to be a policeman, and I also think there aren't many people as conscientious and righteous as me anymore!"
The system couldn't help but interject: "Have you forgotten what you said at the Metropolitan Police Department just two days ago—'I don't want to be a policeman anymore,' 'I feel like I'm not suited for it,' and things like that?"
[The person who said I'm a good match is Vodka, but I only agree with his assessment of my sense of justice!]
system:【…………】
Your sense of justice is so strong that you insist on using the principle of double-crossing to boost your performance, and you don't even waste a single bomber, right?
Vodka was so disgusted by Bo Ye Saiki that he couldn't speak. Just then, there was a noise at the door, and soon someone opened the door and came in.
The person closed the door, took two steps into the living room, and finally saw the two people waiting there.
Ray: "...Vodka, Potts." After greeting him, he decisively turned to Vodka and asked, "Is Potts also involved in this mission?"
To be honest, he was thinking of leaving.
Almost the entire organization knew that Potts disliked him and Gin. Potts was already a troublemaker, and when it came to someone like him who was disliked, he suffered even more.
In addition, he had recently become suspicious that Potts might actually have evidence that he was an FBI agent. He became more wary of Potts whenever he saw him, worried that the other man's previous feigned ignorance was just a ploy to lower his guard and secretly set a trap...
In this situation, it's better to reduce contact than to test him. After all, he has already discovered that Potts is actually a person who acts very much according to his mood and has a rather casual attitude towards the organization. If he can't see him, he might not even remember him. But if he sees him and is in a bad mood, it's hard to say what he might do.
If he had known that Potts would be on this mission, he would never have come.
Vodka, embarrassed, said, "Well, he was just passing by... right?"
Bo Yezaki looked displeased: "I'm working so enthusiastically for the organization, and you're saying I'm just passing by?!"
Upon hearing this, Lei wanted to leave even more.
Potts's enthusiasm never seems to bring anything good... Just look at Gin to see what happens when he volunteers to help with work.
“That’s not what I meant,” Vodka argued. “You’ve already submitted your work report, so there’s no need for you to work overtime with us anymore, right? There’s no overtime pay.”
Ray looked at Vodka with admiration.
Sure, Vodka. Just hearing that makes me want to go home. After all, what working person would want to work overtime without pay, right?
but……
"Work report?"
“It’s the list of recommendations,” Vodka said. “Potnis knows Pramia’s true identity.”
Pramia...
As an FBI agent, Rye knew about this international bomber, and the moment he heard the code name, his mind automatically began to recall Pramie's crimes.
But more than Pramia's crimes, Ray was more concerned about something else—Potnis actually knew Pramia's true identity.
You should know that the FBI has been investigating the Pramie case for several years. Because each time there was an explosion, the scene was basically destroyed, so they couldn't get any useful clues, let alone find out the real identity of the person. They didn't even know the person's gender, appearance, or height.
As it turns out, the true identity of this mysterious bomber who had puzzled police forces worldwide for so many years was discovered by Potnis alone!
How did you do that?!
An intelligence network? Or is it Potts's absurdly judgmental way of looking at people?
The usually calm Ray, knowing the difficulty of investigating Pramia's identity, felt a sense of crisis stronger than ever before.
—If Potts could find out even Pramie's identity, then wasn't his FBI identity already exposed long ago?
