In the small apartment, there was only silence at this moment.
Hondou Eisuke ate his dinner bite by bite, but it tasted like wax and he couldn't taste any flavor of the food at all.
Tang Ze's straightforward words left him with no choice but to respond in silence.
The cruel reality told him that he had no value at all at this moment.
In the eyes of the person in front of him, he was just an accessory in the negotiation with his sister.
The other party promised to protect him in exchange for his sister's agreement to cooperate with them.
In other words, under the conditions of both parties, he is a burden to his sister.
He may have realized this before, but he was unwilling to admit that he was a burden to his sister, and even wanted to join Tang Ze's organization to prove himself.
And the person in front of him told him this reality in the most straightforward words.
I am just a burden.
Even if I want to help, they look down on me and even think I am too useless...
This cruel reality hit him hard. Even though he was unwilling to accept it, the facts were right in front of him.
"I see…"
After finishing his last bite of bread, Hondou Eisuke adjusted his composure, looked at the man in front of him, and said with a wry smile, "I will follow my sister's wishes and accept the FBI's witness protection program."
"It's a wise choice. It's great that you can accept it." Tang Ze smiled and was not surprised by the other party's choice.
After all, Hondou Eisuke is a smart man, and he should also understand that there is actually only one way for him to go from the beginning to the end.
"Heh..." Hondou Eisuke laughed at himself: "Whether it's wise or not... I have no other choice..."
"At least I didn't knock you unconscious and kidnap you." Tang Ze said playfully, "You still have some freedom~"
"Well…"
Hondou Eisuke was furious when he heard this: "If you say that, doesn't it just prove that I have no other choice?
Anyway, I will take that path in the end, it just depends on whether I am willing or not…”
"Don't be discouraged, young man~"
Tang Ze chuckled, his tone still frivolous but also with a hint of comfort: "You are just a high school student, how can you participate in these things at your age?
Even your sister is extremely cautious and treads on thin ice, but even so, it is still extremely dangerous and her life is in danger at any time.
Having strong individual strength is not only for carrying out missions, but also for saving lives."
"Save your life?"
Hondou Eisuke was startled, looked at Kizaru and said: "A person with your strength..."
"You know my strength?" Tang Ze raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you hear it from the FBI?"
"Yes." Hondou Eisuke nodded and said, "After I saw my sister in the hospital that day, we had a private conversation.
At that time, she told me that the person guarding her was the FBI, and they also knew your identity.
But my sister doesn’t know much about you, she just said that you are just a cooperative partner with the FBI.
Later, when the FBI found me and wanted me to accept the witness protection program, they asked about your situation.
They told me that you are very skilled and that the organization you belong to is very mysterious, which makes the organization..."
"But so what? I'm just a mortal. A bullet can kill me."
Tang Ze interrupted Hondou Eiyu and said calmly, "Besides, I only achieved my current skills at my age. You're only a high school student, or even a minor. Do you think you can achieve what I've achieved now?"
"No..." Hondou Eisuke quickly waved his hand and said, "I do have some self-awareness."
"So, why should you be so anxious?"
Tang Ze smiled and said, "When you grow up, joining the CIA will be a better choice. After all, your family also belongs to the CIA.
Even if your sister opposes the path you choose, joining the CIA is the path of least resistance, rather than joining my current organization."
“I understand…” Hondou Eisuke stood up and bowed to Tang Ze and said in gratitude: “Mr. Kizaru, thank you for your teaching.
I will then contact the FBI and accept the witness protection program."
"Nothing. I have to do what I promised to her. I am just completing the task."
Tang Ze finished the juice in the cup and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hospitality, young man~"
"Wait a moment!"
Seeing Tang Ze getting up to leave, Hondou Eisuke quickly called him and said, "I have one last question, Conan..."
"About him?"
Tang Ze waved his hand without even turning his head: "I know what you are thinking, but his situation is extremely special, and he can't get away from it like you can.
I advise you not to delve into his situation. Some things, just knowing them, can bring about fatal disasters.
Until I grow up, I should just enjoy the life of an ordinary person with my new identity."
After saying that, Tang Ze ignored Hondou Eisuke's expression, waved his hand without looking back, and left the other's house.
After closing the door and leaving, Tang Ze looked back at the door that had not been opened again, chuckled, and turned to leave.
It seems that Hondou Eisuke did listen to what he said last, otherwise he should have opened the door and chased after him to ask questions instead of watching him close the door and leave.
After going downstairs, Tang Ze left straight away. Since he parked his car on a nearby street, he was not afraid that Hondou Eisuke might see him from his home.
After making a big circle and making sure that no one was following him, Tang Ze got into the car.
He didn't leave in a hurry, but called Conan: "It's me."
