After listening to Akemi's detailed explanation, Yuzuru nodded gently.
That's normal, after all, it's the Suzuki Group that's involved.
In a few days, he'll have to see if there are any suitable consumable items to send to Sonoko's family.
Alternatively, you could use a horse charm on Sonoko's parents as a way of repaying the Suzuki family for their help.
After all, I'm just someone who enjoys life now, and I have no interest in conquering the world. Having the Suzuki Group above me to help with some miscellaneous matters is pretty good.
It has to be said that the Suzuki Group, which seemed so powerful to outsiders, was nothing more than a tool to serve him in the eyes of Kusunoki Hanyu.
This confidence comes from one's own strong capabilities.
The three of them chatted and laughed, enjoying their meal together. Under Ai's disapproving gaze, Yuzuru laughed heartily and casually put his arm around the blushing Akemi as they returned to their room.
Life is so short, of course we should enjoy the good times.
Oh, you mean this is the world of Detective Conan!
That's alright then.
The night is long, so let's enjoy life to the fullest!
...
Mihua, at a newly established base of the organization.
Gin was sitting alone in his office, smoking and drinking with a gloomy expression, his brows furrowed, deep in thought.
He was worried!
The organization's previous base in Mihua was destroyed by that big shot, and the organization didn't dare to retaliate.
Therefore, the final boss once again entrusted Gin with the crucial task of rebuilding the base in Mihana.
Just because of that one casual remark from the boss, Gin had to run himself ragged.
Rebuilding the base is simple, but it costs money!
The boss wouldn't give him any funding, just told him to figure it out himself.
Gin felt so worried that his hair was almost turning white.
What? I don't have any hair at all!
Okay, that's all.
The problem is that his men are all useless idiots. Asking them to find a way to make some money is always a challenge, with all sorts of lame reasons and excuses.
And Vodka, the only subordinate he could somewhat trust, turned out to be a complete idiot.
Oh wait, last time vodka did manage to think a little, though not much.
Gin, with a bitter expression, kept smoking one cigarette after another, the swirling smoke seemingly reflecting his extremely frustrated mood.
"Bang, bang, bang." A series of urgent knocks sounded on the door.
"Go in," Gin replied in a low voice.
"Boss, something bad has happened! Our base in Osaka has been taken down!" Vodka burst in, his face full of panic.
"What did you say? Who did it?" Upon hearing Vodka's words, Gin's face instantly turned extremely gloomy.
Do these people think of Gin as a pushover they can easily manipulate?
Do you really think he won't get angry?
"It's...it's rye whiskey. The surviving members of the organization saw him." Looking at Gin's intimidating face, Vodka cautiously recounted the news he had just received.
“Heh, heh! Shuichi Akai…” Upon hearing this familiar name, Gin grinned and let out a cruel laugh.
It's truly a blessing from heaven; knowing he's been in a terrible mood lately, they actually sent over the organization's biggest traitor.
"Where is Shuichi Akai now? Vodka, get ready, we're going to take care of this traitor." Gin threw his cigarette into his glass with a "plop" sound, then stood up from his chair.
He couldn't wait to meet Shuichi Akai.
"Uh, I don't know... Shuichi Akai disappeared again after he finished taking over the base." Vodka scratched his head in confusion as he listened to Gin's words.
How could he possibly know the answer to something like that?
Shouldn't it be that after he reports the news to Gin, Gin conducts a thorough investigation and makes proper arrangements, and then he acts together with Gin?
"waste!"
Gin cursed when he didn't hear the news he expected, then sat down somewhat irritably.
He even thought vodka had recently become smarter!
For a moment, the entire office fell silent.
Seeing Gin, who had finished his outburst and was now silently contemplating a solution, Vodka, standing there, seemed somewhat at a loss.
He simply imitated Gin's manner and pretended that he was also thinking seriously.
It would have been better if he hadn't thought about it, but once he started thinking, Vodka's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Gin, I've got a great idea!" Vodka exclaimed excitedly.
"Oh? Tell me about it." Gin glanced at the excited Vodka with some surprise, and couldn't help but feel a little astonished himself.
Wow, you've actually gotten smarter!
"It's like this, Gin, isn't Akai Shuichi's ex-girlfriend the same maid who's now in the picture?" Vodka glanced at Gin excitedly and continued, "If we tell Akai Shuichi this, what do you think he'll think, Boss?"
Gin nodded thoughtfully as he listened to Vodka's words.
Back then, it was Akemi Miyano who brought Shuichi Akai into the organization.
The reason he had always wanted to get rid of Miyano Akemi was largely due to Akai Shuichi's betrayal.
If Gin were to tell Shuichi Akai about this, he wouldn't believe that the other man would be able to tolerate it.
After all, she was his ex-girlfriend. If he knew that his ex-girlfriend was now working as a maid for someone else, I'm afraid no man could accept it.
At that point, if Shuichi Akai were to come knocking on his door, given that big shot's personality...
Gin thought vodka's idea was really good.
Hmph, he might not dare to mess with Yuzuru Hanyu, but he certainly wouldn't dare to mess with you, Shuichi Akai?
“That’s a good idea, Vodka. Go and make arrangements so that Shuichi Akai knows this news as soon as possible!” Gin said decisively.
"Yes, boss."
Having received instructions from Gin and seeing the admiring look in Gin's eyes, Vodka walked out somewhat smugly.
He found that lately, for some reason, his mind would often suddenly flash with flashes of inspiration.
Now he can even find ways to solve problems that even Gin, the boss, doesn't know how to handle.
Could it be that he, a late bloomer—Vodka—is actually the smartest person in the organization?
However, Gin and Vodka forgot the most important thing: why they thought Hanyu Nan would not know that it was their idea.
