Chapter 567
The middle-aged man, as if finally understanding something, broke out in a cold sweat.
But after all, he was the representative of the elders. Thinking about the purpose the elders had told him to come, it was no use for him to come to his senses. After all, he couldn't back down on behalf of the elders.
He even has reason to suspect that the elders summoned him here because they thought it would be alright if he died.
Just as the middle-aged man froze, Usoya Saiki gave him a way out.
“I understand your difficulties. How about this, could you pass on a message to the elders for me, saying…”
The silver-haired youth thought for a moment: "When you feel like everyone else is against you, have you ever considered that you are actually going against the grain of the whole world?"
Middle-aged man: "…………"
"As for the rest, you can talk to the Boss. He's upstairs." Bo Yezhai sighed. "I'm just a junior, so I can't say too much."
Middle-aged man: "…………"
What's there to be ashamed of? We've already said everything...
You could say it was tactful, but you couldn't say it wasn't tactful at all... Well, at least I got to see the Boss, so I can go back and report.
The middle-aged man regained his composure, bowed to Bo Yezhaiji, and turned to leave the room.
But the three whiskey enthusiasts watching were completely dumbfounded: "...???"
Huh?! The Boss is upstairs?! That mysterious Boss who's been hiding for half a century?!
All three of them were greatly shocked. Furuya Rei was even considering the probability of directly tipping off his superior and catching them all in one fell swoop.
Then I remembered that my boss had told me to leave this matter alone for the time being.
I feel terrible, like my heart is aching.
After the middle-aged man left, Furuya Rei tried to say something, but before he could even open his mouth, the door suddenly opened again.
"Potnis, the Australians somehow got wind of it and submitted their application through their mole in our organization."
"Let them talk to the US. If the US agrees to give up its share, we have no objection."
This actually means a refusal.
"There's something else. The American Nobel laureate in medicine suggested that we not build our lab in the US, and he ended up arguing with the Americans who came with him..."
"Don't worry about it. They're probably afraid of being reported or complained about by animal protection associations. Let's wait until they've finished arguing before we talk about it."
The person asked a few more questions and finally left the room.
During the time he asked the questions, not only did it give the Whiskey Trio a chance to calm down after suddenly learning that the organization's boss was upstairs, but it also gave them a deeper understanding of the current situation.
After that person left, Usoppei Saiki seemed to have forgotten that the others were still there and began to bury himself in reading some documents.
Rei Furuya coughed: "Potnis."
"Hmm." Bo Yezaki didn't even look up. "Have you made up your minds? Are you planning to come back and work for me?"
Jianggu Ling: "???"
Morofushi Kagemitsu said helplessly, "If you want us to come back to work, you should at least tell us what the situation is now. Undercover agents can come back?"
"Yes, but if I come back, I won't be an undercover agent anymore; we'll be cooperating openly and honestly."
Usakabe Saiki looked up: "The Japanese delegation is in the second room on this floor, and the Americans are in the fourth. Would you like to talk to your own people first?"
When he said these words, Bo Yezaki had no expression and looked very indifferent. Compared with when he was talking to the elder representative, his imposing manner was somewhat restrained.
Moribushi Kagemitsu tentatively asked, "Are you in a bad mood right now?"
Why did you stop laughing?
Usoya Saiki: "You're too lazy to smile when you're working."
Morofushi Kagemitsu: "…………"
That actually makes a lot of sense!
Shuichi Akai moved his lips, but ultimately said nothing.
In his view, Bo Yezaki's true colors were revealed when he faced the elders' representative.
He always has a smiling face, but it's more like a deliberate provocation. His words are already harsh, but Botnis always says them with a smile, making the sarcasm even more intense. And yet, he can't retaliate, which makes him feel extremely frustrated.
Now that nothing's wrong, it's normal for him to smile less.
Rei Furuya thought for a moment, then turned to Hiromitsu Morofushi and said, "You go find the Japanese representative first, I'll handle things here."
Morobuchi Kagemitsu hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse.
After Morofushi Kagemitsu left, Furuya Rei asked an important question first: "Is the Boss upstairs?"
Bo Yezaki nodded: "Yes, after all, negotiations can't be without a boss."
Rei Furuya thought there was nothing wrong with what he said, but considering Saiki Usui's behavior, there was a big problem: "Is it your idea to whitewash the organization or the Boss's idea?"
"My thoughts."
Rei Furuya looked at him with a puzzled expression: "How did you convince the Boss?"
"It's just a little trick, don't worry about the details. Anyway, the boss is very cooperative now. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to convince the others."
Although Shuichi Akai and Saiki Usakuba didn't get along, in some ways, Shuichi Akai could be considered the undercover agent who knew Saiki Usakuba the best.
So when he heard Usui Saiki's answer, he sensed something was wrong and asked a question that Furuya Rei thought was pointless: "How did the Boss cooperate?"
Rei Furuya glanced at Shuichi Akai for no apparent reason.
How else can we cooperate? Of course, we can let Usaku Saiki do whatever he wants, right? Do you expect him to explain things to you in detail?
Unexpectedly, Shuichi Akai actually gave a shocking answer to the question.
The silver-haired youth, who had seemed aloof and indifferent just moments before because he disliked his work, suddenly seemed to have improved, his lips curling up and his tone rising.
"The Boss? Of course, he's the test subject. If he hadn't cooperated with blood and spinal cord extractions for experiments, how could those rich people have believed so quickly that rejuvenation is feasible and that there are already successful cases?"
Akai Shuichi & Furuya Rei: "?!?!?!"
Unaware that he had missed a crucial piece of intelligence shortly after leaving, Morofushi Kagemitsu began searching for the Japanese delegation's meeting room after leaving the house.
Honestly, this base no longer looks like a base for an illegal organization; it's more like an international conference center...
He didn't ask anyone to lead the way; he simply knocked on the door of the room, and when he heard someone call him to come in, he opened the door and went inside.
Is this something that should happen in an organization's base? They didn't even bother to ask who it was!
If it were Gin inside, he would have fired several shots the moment he opened the door!
Suppressing his strange feelings, Morofushi Kagemitsu went inside and saw unfamiliar faces. Finally, someone asked him who he was.
After thinking for a moment, Morobuki Kagemitsu replied, "I am from Scotland. The young master sent me to come and take a look."
This group of people didn't suspect anything at all!
Morofushi Kagemitsu: "…………"
It's really strange to have this atmosphere in the organization's base!
But since it was ultimately in his own interest, Morofushi Kagemitsu tolerated it and began to use the skills he had learned during his undercover training to extract information from the group.
As he learned more, Morofushi Kagemitsu became increasingly shocked.
The so-called delegation does not actually represent the country, but rather the capitalists of certain countries.
For example, in the US delegation, there was a world-renowned tycoon who, in pursuit of youth, regularly had blood transfusions with his grandson (*Note: This is a true story), regardless of whether it was effective or not; he was just that obsessed.
There are countless wealthy people like him who are obsessed with pursuing youth. Those who come here either have a pre-existing interest in the organization or are genuinely rich and powerful, making them worth recruiting.
For such people, as long as something sounds feasible, they will consider investing. What's more, the people sent by Bo Yezhaiji directly said that they had successful experimental subjects, but the mortality rate was too high, and they needed to increase investment to develop a medicine that everyone could use with peace of mind.
This successful experiment was the organization's boss.
Upon hearing this, Morofushi Kagemitsu: "………………"
If there were any doubts before, at this point Morofushi Kagemitsu was 100% certain that this absolutely could not be the Boss's own will!!!
Having finally regained youth, of course one should enjoy this second chance at life. How could anyone go through half a century just to be an experiment?
Even Fu Jingguang didn't believe it, let alone the shrewd capitalists who were all cunning enough to be fools.
That's why the American tycoon directly invited several experts from the medical laboratory he sponsored, including a Nobel Prize laureate in Medicine, to come and examine whether this was an outrageous scam—the Nobel laureate hadn't taken it seriously before, but other experts came out with their results and informed him, so he rushed over today.
It sounds outrageous, but it's really true.
First of all, Karasuma Renya was a celebrity; many people in the world knew him before he faked his death.
Most of his peers are dead, but there are many younger people who have seen him. If you look carefully, there are quite a few. If you filter them, you can bring them along as witnesses.
Secondly, Usoppō Saiki generously opened the laboratory in the base, allowing them to conduct experiments using Karasuma Renya's blood and spinal cord. Sure enough, a group of experts discovered that he was different from ordinary people.
Unfortunately, past experimental data is not made public, and blood and spinal cord samples are only allowed once, and once they are used up, they are not given any more unless the collaboration continues.
But this was enough to drive scientists, whose worldviews were being overturned, crazy.
Originally, they came with the intention of persuading their financial backers to invest more in their own companies and laboratories and to trust the scammers outside.
Now their stance has changed instantly, and they are all urging the investor to cooperate quickly, as they also want to work in this laboratory.
They've already missed the most valuable part; they can't miss what comes next!
Of course, such ethically-related laboratories cannot be operated openly. Therefore, the organization proposed establishing several laboratories to research anti-cancer substances, and the research results in this area could be put into production and generate revenue...
So the argument now isn't between the organization and its representatives, but between the capitalist representatives who all know this is a gold mine and want to get a bigger share.
Even if it doesn't make money, all difficulties are no problem in the face of the Boss's living, youthful image. As long as the wealthy have the opportunity to rejuvenate themselves, they don't care so much about whether they make money or not. Besides, this project is bound to make money, and it would be even better if it did.
People are already scrambling to give money; now it's all about who has more influence in their own country, who has connections at the top, or who is at the top themselves, so they can protect the lab when it faces complaints or investigations.
Currently, in the US, those with strong ties to the IRS hold the advantage. While Japan is eager to cooperate, it can't compete with the US and can only try to curry favor with its organization. The current progress is...
Several ministers have already smoothed things over, and there's no one left in Japan who can investigate these organizations. If they do find anything, they can just let them know.
Morofushi Kagemitsu: "………………"
—Japan is hopeless! So is the US! It's more like, seeing its headquarters resembling a Model United Nations, it's lost faith in the whole world! It's utterly awful! This so-called "golden age" has ultimately become what Usakata Saiki wished for!!!
--------------------
How Bo Ye ensured he wouldn't be kicked out of the competition will be discussed in the next chapter.
The benefits of having the boss "alive" are numerous: firstly, it maintains organizational stability, and secondly, it serves as a living example of rejuvenation! Making the most of him! From now on, the lab will rely on him!
The organization can't really be considered "whitewashed"—it's still strictly illegal—but it's been given a legitimate path by capital, reaping numerous benefits. At least, global medicine is poised to take a giant leap forward thanks to the Boss's sacrifice.
