Vermouth sneered and simply tore off Lan Zexi's mask, revealing the true face of the blonde witch.
"So what now?"
“Now… at least Akemi is safe.” Yoruichi Toyama said slowly, reaching out to grasp Vermouth’s wrist.
"So, can we have a proper talk?"
Vermouth instinctively wanted to object, or even if she agreed to talk, she wanted to beat him up first, just like before.
However, the pressure on her wrist startled her.
"See, I'm not weaker than you." Yoruichi Toyama easily pulled her hand away, and the two of them remained locked in a stalemate in mid-air.
"But I can't kill anyone, so there's no point in capturing you."
“I just want to talk to you, in—” He shrugged, finally calming down and giving a smile.
"—Before Gin killed me."
Absinthe was not surprised by the revelation of this secret.
Compared to other things, it was far too easy for Yoruichi Toyama to know, or guess, that Utajima's invitation was a trap.
She took a deep breath, shook off Yoruichi Toyama's hand which was no longer holding on, and then snorted.
"Let me hear what you want to talk about first."
"...Now that Sherry is already in your hands, I see no reason why you need to talk to me."
Looking at the medicine in her hand, she quickly added a sentence.
My aunt has a strong sense of self-respect.
Yoruichi Toyama smiled again and spread her hands.
"Zhibao is not in my hands; she is currently under the protection of the police."
"And Mingmei, you know her ex-boyfriend, right?"
“FBI?” Vermouth immediately thought of the young man she had met that night, the “next-door neighbor” and “graduate student from Tokyo University.”
"You know quite a lot of people," she said sarcastically. "And who are you?"
"I'm a detective!"
Yoruichi Toyama answered easily.
Absinthe hummed again.
"A third-rate detective!"
"Yes, yes, yes." Yoruichi Toyama smiled and bowed.
"It's just that I, a third-rate detective, have happened to get to know quite a few important people."
"In critical moments, they can always save their lives."
"So I think you should also start thinking about yourself?"
"I heard that your organization isn't doing too well lately."
It's more than just pessimistic!
The contacts placed in various government departments were removed one after another, which not only severely blocked information channels, but also made funding a problem.
Then the group of members, a bunch of grown men, started fighting amongst themselves like shrewish women, like dogs biting each other!
Vermouth, being a woman, thought without any restraint.
As for that medicine...
That kind of miraculous drug that the boss has been pursuing for 40 years.
In fact, when Sherry left the organization and her fate was unknown, it had already completely vanished.
What is immortality and eternal youth?
Like me?
ha!
Thinking of this, Absinthe's gaze involuntarily fell back on the medicine box in his hand.
"That's something Shiho made herself; it should be much more effective than what you used to eat," Yoruichi Toyama said softly.
"She didn't mean to blackmail you; she just wanted you to put an end to your feud with the Miyano family."
Really? That girl? ...
Absinthe was somewhat lost in thought.
She did not doubt the authenticity of the drug.
After all, Yoruichi Toyama wouldn't reveal such important information as "Sherry is still alive" just to save her own life for the time being.
He was even confident that he wouldn't mention it to Gin.
"...You think you can turn me to your side so easily?" Absinthe suddenly laughed, while tightening his grip on the medicine box.
“But there are only 6 pills!” Yoruichi Toyama said with a laugh, “They’ll only last for a year or two at most.”
"Then I'll wait until you're dead, and a year later, I'll go and cooperate with the police." Absinthe tossed the medicine box in her hand and glared at him.
"Or we could simply not cooperate; I won't die. I've managed all these years, haven't I..."
"Sister!" Yoruichi Toyama called out, her smile turning into a bitter one.
"Do you really want to see me die?"
Seeing his shameless act, Absinthe burst out laughing.
"Yes, I don't want to."
"I don't care about any antidote or the Miyano family."
"If I want to leave the organization and run away to a place where no one can find me, I can do it anytime."
"But you made the right bet..."
"I don't want you to die..."
