Child 3
“Vermouth…” The old man on the hospital bed muttered the name of his favorite code member as if in a dream, his dry fingers weakly trying to clench the bed sheet, “Rum…” Even saying a name took up most of the old man’s strength, “Ahem… About Scrooso…”
"He hasn't arrived yet," Vermouth tucked the quilt for the old man, but the emotion in her eyes was not as warm as the movement of her hands, "It will take some time..." Just like the previous dead Rum was the code name to inherit his father, the next Rum will also come from the same family, but this death was so sudden. Now there is no heir who can stand on his own, and we can only look forward to a bloody storm, "Hui Ren Society caused us to lose Kelver's inheritance. Now the only thing we can count on is..."
The Thousand-Faced Witch had her words all together. Karasuma Renye was indeed old, and aging had not only damaged his body, but also made him increasingly cold and paranoid. However, when it came to the matter of immortality, he also retained some of the boldness and determination of his youth, just like when he had invested in the Miyano couple's experiment. Now, whether or not to try out the last product left by Kelver was also a gamble.
"I really met a lot of familiar faces on the Selmes this time," Vermouth smiled, her tone casual as if she was chatting, as if she was not facing a decayed body bound by various instruments in the ward, but taking an elegant walk on a sunny afternoon. "Julian... It's a pity for Kelver's cute little brother. Mr. Iori of Huiren Society, that man's mind is not as tolerant as his weight. It's good enough to be able to accommodate a god... But most importantly," she narrowed her eyes, "I saw the rat that Kiel killed--"
“Ahem…”
The old man's cough was accompanied by the ticking sound of the instrument. Vermouth just raised her hand, and the doctors and nurses who rushed in left the ward with the old man's tacit consent. "And not long after, I found Kelver's legacy in Gil's room," she shrugged, her movements full of charm. "This is really an incredible coincidence. If it was in the movies I starred in before, there would probably be two sets of clips that would be watched repeatedly..."
"The audience's eyes are always sharp."
The killed rats were sent to Kelver's laboratory. Kiel, who was given a code name for killing rats, killed the bear man on the Selmes and took away Kelver's legacy. He was intercepted by Vermouth and not only lost his life, but Kelver's legacy also returned to the organization...
Vermouth smiled slightly, her red lips tightly closed. The smart woman knew when to remain silent. The leader of the crows was a man who would hold on to power until his death. As the so-called most favored code member, she knew this very well.
Anyway, everything that needs to be said has been said. Whether you believe it or not is up to Karasuma Renya himself.
Just like back then, he decided to take a gamble on the Miyano couple's research.
