"Congratulations to player Yoruichi_Tooyama for successfully completing the game."
"You are the first person to complete this game."
"The hidden storyline 'Final Judgment' has begun..."
...
"Mr. Gao Yuan is a stubborn man!"
"After being rejected again," Absinthe said coldly.
She could see clearly that although the young man in front of her was very polite and courteous, his determination was unwavering.
This is probably the first time that Vermouth has been rejected so decisively in a situation it believed it was certain to win.
Whether out of pride or out of a sense of duty to the organization, she had no interest in making jokes anymore.
"Since you've already decided to sever ties with the organization, what you asked me about before..."
“Just out of curiosity,” Gao Yuan replied with a slight smile. “I think I said that from the beginning.”
"Or does Ms. Vermouth require me to make some promise to guarantee that your organization's secrets will not be leaked?"
That's easy for you to say!
He dismissed all her attempts to entice, persuade, and even make grand promises as mere fleeting clouds, dismissing them with a simple "no."
And he actually planned to make a verbal promise and walk away unscathed?
Absinthe couldn't help but feel indignant, but then realized that she had been affected by this seemingly delicate and frail young man.
Therefore, he took a deep breath before speaking in a low voice.
"Having already known so much about the organization, Mr. Gao Yuan, this isn't something that can be resolved with just a promise."
“I know you’re an excellent magician. More than once, you’ve pulled off a perfect escape show against police forces that outnumber you many times over.”
"However, you should also be aware of the power of the organization."
"Gin's style may be a bit reckless, but his principles are the organization's principles."
"We will not let go of anyone who knows of the organization's existence but refuses to cooperate with it."
The melodious music continued.
Two freshly mixed cocktails gleamed on the bar counter.
Outside the window, the moonlight illuminates the vast ocean where the waves murmur softly.
The feigned politeness has completely vanished; the pretense has been torn away.
What remains is the unraveling of the truth.
Upon hearing Vermouth's blatant threat, Gao Yuan simply turned around and gazed out the window at the sea.
“I already knew,” he said casually.
“When Ms. Absinthe approached me, I knew this would be the final choice.”
"However, you know far less about me than I do about your organization."
Absinthe suddenly raised an eyebrow.
"So you're saying you're determined to go against the organization?"
"Is it worth it? Just for my own willfulness, or..."
“That’s what I meant,” Gao Yuan turned halfway around and replied with a smile, “Madam, you overestimate my courage.”
"Also, they underestimated my desire for 'the end'..."
He raised one hand and, as if performing magic, flipped his palm in front of the absinthe, as if to show that his hand was empty.
However, the next moment, a red and white capsule suddenly appeared on his fingertip.
Absinthe, who knew exactly what it was, widened his eyes in surprise.
