"It's not like a cat playing with a mouse, where they let me go on the surface, but then come back to cause trouble for me and Mingmei at any time."
“I have confessed everything I need to. Mingmei is no threat to you.”
“We just want to live our lives peacefully. I got involved with the police simply for safety.”
"So, can you please let us go?"
He spoke calmly, but also very seriously.
He's a completely different person when he's acting crazy and asking for a beating.
It must have been a well-thought-out decision.
Vermouth also stopped smiling and looked at him.
"I hate the Miyano family..."
“Then you should be happy!” Yoruichi Toyama interjected. “Except for Akemi, her entire family is dead.”
This blunt statement indeed elicited another cold smile from Vermouth.
"You really are a practical person, just like the one I met on Azure Island..."
"There's no difference, is there?"
Yoruichi from the distant mountains spread his hands.
"I don't like seeing people die, and I will certainly try to stop it if I can."
"But first, I need to protect myself and the people around me."
"These two are not contradictory."
Vermouth stared at him for a while.
Then he smiled and shook his head.
"I can't completely trust you, detective."
"When you're working your butt off, you're much braver than you say you are."

"We definitely won't!" Yoruichi Toyama hurriedly assured him.
"Don't rush, detective, take it easy."
Vermouth pushed the invitation forward.
"I want you to attend the memorial service for director Jiu Juan..."
"What I can inform you in advance is that a certain event will occur at this meeting..."
"What incident?" Yoruichi Toyama asked. "A murder case?"
“That’s for you to discover,” Vermouth said.
"If you can resolve that incident on the spot, you win the bet."
"You can relax and live a peaceful life with your girlfriend."
"But if you lose..."
Absinthe parted his lips slightly, his tongue licking his canine teeth, revealing a bloodthirsty smile.
"You and Miyano will both die."
Yoruichi Toyama's eyebrows twitched, and she lowered her gaze to the invitation.
It seemed to be a verdict that determined his fate.
But only a moment later, he picked up the invitation and stood up.
"Am I going alone?" he asked.
Absinthe nodded.
“You go alone, dear detective.”
"I give you complete freedom."
