Chapter 62 We Must Win
"How are you?"
Looking at A who opened a bottle of wine, Hayato Takanashi said with concern.
Amid the piercing sound of fire alarms blaring everywhere, A took a few sips of wine and slammed the bottle down on the bar, saying with a desperate air, "I'm going somewhere. Don't follow me!"
Karma worriedly advised, "But, Mr. A, it's still very dangerous here. It's safer to act together!"
When A's eyes swept over the jeweled collar that had disappeared from Karma's neck, his expression became even uglier.
The failure of this plan, the theft of the treasure house key, and the setting of fire on the cruise ship, instantly brought A's originally complacent mood to the bottom.
The loss of a cruise ship was nothing to him. He could use his supernatural powers to collect the gems in the treasury, but - the treasury also contained the manual on the supernatural powers of all the high-level officials of the Port Mafia that he had collected over the years.
Even the leader Mori Ogai's special abilities are recorded in detail.
We must never let Hayana Kotori go to the treasury to check, otherwise if his secret is discovered, she will probably chop off his head immediately.
Although she had a good relationship with him, she would never let someone who backstabbed the Port Mafia live.
A is absolutely sure of this.
With cold sweat pouring down his face, A clenched his fist and yelled at Karma, "Leave me alone! I told you to go on my own! Don't think you can dictate to me just because you're out of my control. After all... I'm still one of the five leaders of the Port Mafia!!!"
Karma was stunned by the other party's reaction, then whispered, "I understand."
A stumbled out of the room alone, his unsteady and hurried steps giving off the appearance of someone who had been mentally stimulated and was mad.
It seems like he's just one trigger away from going crazy.
Looking at him, Hayana Kotori frowned.
A must have something wrong, and once he is discovered he will be hunted down immediately. Even the title of cadre cannot protect his existence.
She looked at Kalma. "Can you operate a cruise ship?"
Kalma was not exaggerating at all: "After learning a little, you will be able to control the direction of the rudder."
"That's enough." Hayana Kotori instructed him, "The fire isn't big. It will be extinguished automatically when it reaches a certain size. You go control the cruise ship's route. We'll return to Yokohama."
"Yes, Ms. Takanashi!" Karma immediately ran towards the control room.
Kneeling before the treasure house that was ablaze with flames and everything was consumed by the fire, A covered his face with his hands, his eyes bloodshot from the rage he was gritting his teeth.
No more, nothing!
All his hard work and planning over the years had gone to waste for that mouse!
Suddenly, someone took a fire extinguisher and sprayed it at the burning treasure house, and the fire was suddenly suppressed.
Hear the sound and feel the temperature drop.
A looked up and saw the black-haired woman standing next to him, concentrating on putting out the fire.
"Didn't I tell you not to follow me?" A's tone was inexplicably low.
"I want to know something." Holding a fire extinguisher and sweeping away the flames, Hayato Yato glanced at A.
Before she could ask, A said, "I admit that I am attracted to you."
"...That's not what I'm asking." Putting away the fire extinguisher, Hayana Kotori pointed to a mezzanine at the very back of the treasure vault and asked sharply, "What's in here? Don't tell me it's an account book."
Her voice was dangerous.
A was silent for a moment, then said in a low, negative voice, "You're right. Besides being rich, I'm just a comedian."
Kotori Hayato squatted down, looked at him, and said seriously, "For a comedian to be able to sit in the position of an executive is also remarkable."
"Don't make fun of me."
"I'm serious. Now is the time to make amends. You might even be able to survive."
A scoffed, "What nonsense! I can only survive if I don't tell you."
Grabbing the collar of the man in front of her, Kotori Hayabusa said angrily: "If you don't talk to me, I will cut off your fingers."
"Persuasion failed, has his true nature finally been revealed?!"
"Stop talking nonsense! If you don't, I'll cut it off!"
There was no other way. A whispered, "The special ability manual of the high-ranking officials of the Port Mafia."
Hayana Takanashi: "..."
"Damn it!" She couldn't help but curse out loud, "You pig! Memorizing this kind of thing by rote isn't safer than keeping it in a treasure trove."
"You actually scolded me?!" A, who had never been scolded before, retorted angrily: "I have so many things to think about every day. What if I accidentally think about something like this?!"
"It's not something that can be used in a short time!"
"What do you mean by rote memorization? You have to recite it every day from your head, idiot! What's more, you have the ambition to usurp the throne, and you are not willing to endure even this little hardship?! Now you are being used by others!!" Hayana Takanashi wanted to open his head to see how much water was stored inside.
It's really unbearable to be bitten by your own stupid brain!
A: “…”
A found himself speechless in rebuttal.
I could only watch as the woman in front of me took out her cell phone and contacted Nakahara Chuuya.
A said, "Since we have a close relationship, please protect me once more from the leader."
Hayato Kotori glared at him: "I won't let you down on this kind of thing."
"Once you arrive in Yokohama, I advise you to flee abroad as soon as possible. If you delay, you'll probably be torn to pieces."
"No signal." Looking at the phone that couldn't make any calls, Hayana Kotori asked A: "Do you have any radio equipment?"
This kind of ship must have this kind of equipment.
Finally finding an opportunity to confront her, A didn't let it go: "The other party has covered the entire ship's range of signals. Things like radios must have been destroyed long ago."
"Thank you so much for pulling me on board. I'm afraid there's no place safer than here right now." Hayana Kotori stood up and walked towards the cruise ship control room.
She learned important information but couldn't report it back immediately, and now she is trapped on the cruise ship. She feels that nothing can make her feel more suffocated than this.
After I got back, I found out that it really existed.
After finally returning from the sea, Hayana Kotori rushed to the Port Mafia headquarters at the fastest speed, and what she saw was the most vigilant Port Mafia in history.
It made her confused.
The leader was plotted against by the enemy.
He was also infected with a special ability called "mutual devouring". Within three days, if he and Fukuzawa Yukichi, who was in the same situation, did not die, they would both die.
This kind of supernatural power has no solution unless the person with the supernatural power is found or the other party dies.
It's a very clever plan, one that hits hard at the heart of the Port Mafia and the Armed Detective Agency.
Even if it is for the sake of their leader, the two supernatural organizations will fight with all their might until one side wins.
The armed forces gathered under the building, and the countless big men in black suits with stern faces and guns in their hands, were all fighting for their leader's survival!
The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Mori Ogai, lying on the bed, looked sick and was so weak that he couldn't even support Alice, the embodiment of his supernatural power.
Hayana Takanashi looked at his condition, walked out of the room, and met Nakahara Chuuya who was waiting for her outside.
The young man's cobalt blue eyes were dim because of what had happened in recent days. The leader had been plotted against and ended up like this. His heart was filled with anger and self-blame.
"As a subordinate, it was my fault that I failed to protect the leader's safety," said Nakahara Chuuya.
Kotori Hayato walked over and patted his shoulder, comforting him: "If we really want to talk about blame, it's actually my responsibility. After all, I am the line of defense protecting the leader."
"Besides, this is the decision made by the leader himself."
Facing Fyodor, even the leader showed a certain gap.
Now Dazai is in the Armed Detective Agency, and except for the leader of the Port Mafia who has a decent brain, the others can't compare to him.
In the critical moment when the leader falls, if you don't have brains and just rely on violence to suppress, you will easily be fooled by the other party.
Looking at what Hayana was thinking, Nakahara Chuuya's lips moved, and finally he whispered her name: "Hayana."
"Hmm?" Hayana Kotori came back to her senses and saw the complex and obscure look on Chuuya Nakahara's face. "Chuuya? Did you run into any trouble?"
"We must declare an all-out war against the Port Mafia and kill their president." Nakahara Chuuya said affirmatively.
Seeing his absolutely non-negotiable attitude on this matter, she had a question mark over her head: "I know, only by killing him can the leader survive."
"We must spare no effort for this!"
Although the price to pay is also very high, facing this unsolvable situation, launching a full-scale attack on the Armed Detective Agency is the only way to resolve the port mafia crisis now.
Thinking that the people from the Armed Detective Agency were not cowards, Kotori Hayato said, "The other party must be thinking the same thing. We must take precautions."
No matter how many lower-level members there are, they cannot stop the attacks of people with special abilities. The leader must be protected by powerful people with special abilities.
Nakahara Chuuya said: "The layout here is basically stable."
"Is Chuuya responsible for mobilizing the entire port mafia?"
"Well, in an emergency, we activated the policy left by the leader."
"Saana's brother Edogawa Ranpo and Dazai are both in the Armed Detective Agency." He said with an absolutely serious expression on his face.
Kotori Hayato was surprised: "You don't want me to stay by the leader's side, do you?"
"That's what I thought." Nakahara Chuuya admitted, his emotions mixed. "Dazai is always cunning. He will avoid you, but your brother would be hard to deal with even you. Stay here and protect the leader. I'll bring you back with good news."
To Chuuya Nakahara's surprise, Hayana Kotori refused: "I will not stay here to protect the leader, and Chuuya doesn't need to consider me like this."
"I'm a candidate for the Port Mafia. Hiding next to the leader at a time like this will only make my subordinates laugh at me."
"but……"
"Family and position have nothing to do with it," she interrupted, firmly saying, "If we were to face the entire Armed Detective Agency, just saving two lives would be enough."
"Chuuya, you're already alone and helpless, right? I can't possibly be a coward at a time like this and hide behind you for comfort."
Instead of hiding in the dark and watching the two sides fight, it is better to join them!
Seeing what she was going to do, Nakahara Chuuya was surprised: "You want to go alone?"
"Of course, assassination is more convenient when carried out alone." Hayato Hayato raised an eyebrow. "The leader is our brain. In this crisis-ridden situation, if we lose him, our Port Mafia will be in an absolutely passive position."
Exuding a real fighting spirit, Nakahara Chuuya said coldly: "You are right, we must win."
Only in this way can he ensure the safety of all those he cares about.
