Walking through the streets of Ginza, surrounded by colorful neon lights, Kōyū said to Ai beside him:
"I think the food here is alright."
"The beef is of good quality, and the doneness is just right."
Ai doesn't know as much about beef as Kousuke, so she can't give a detailed review and can only offer a simple assessment:
"It's quite delicious."
Just then, Guangyou felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.
A few seconds later, he felt his phone vibrate again.
In order not to disturb the date, he ignored it, thinking he would find another opportunity to look at it later.
It's rare for us to go out on a date these days, so it's definitely not just about having a meal.
The two of them had agreed beforehand that they would go see a movie after dinner.
He planned to check the text message after arriving at the cinema.
After arriving at the cinema, choosing a movie, buying tickets, having his ticket checked, finding a seat in the screening room, Guangyou left the screening room under the pretext of going to the restroom.
He took out his phone and looked at it; both text messages were from Shuichi Akai.
The text message was very much in line with Shuichi Akai's style: straight to the point, without any preamble.
"Prepare for action."
The second text message was:
"Call back."
After reading the text message, Guangyou's expression became somewhat serious.
He looked around to make sure no one was there, then made a phone call to Shuichi Akai.
The call connected quickly; Shuichi Akai was clearly waiting for him to call back.
When the call connected, Guangyou didn't waste any time and got straight to the point:
When to take action?
“It should be in the next few days,” Shuichi Akai replied. “According to intelligence, Gin is going to meet with a congressman in the next few days.”
"Are you sure?" Kōyū knew that since Akai Shuichi had contacted him, it was probably true, but out of caution, he still asked one more question.
Shuichi Akai, out of caution, left some room for maneuver in his answer.
He told Guangyou the truth:
"It's uncertain; we can't rule out the possibility that it's false information deliberately released by the other side."
"But I think it's worth taking a gamble."
"If we win the bet, we can catch Gin and then use that information to take down that organization."
"Even if we lose, with our current strength, we should be able to escape unscathed."
"I have no objection. Just call me when it's time to take action." This wasn't the first time Guangyou had gambled on something like this, so he agreed readily.
It's impossible to do something without risk; you have to consider the potential benefits.
It's the same as how much profit can tempt how many people.
If we capture Gin, the enemy will lose a key player.
He had little hope of getting information out of Gin; Gin would never tell them anything under duress or coercion.
A person who can shoot themselves without hesitation and remain unfazed is definitely a ruthless character.
No matter how much they asked, they couldn't get the answer.
Therefore, he felt that capturing Gin would be the greatest help to them, as it would weaken the opponent's strength.
“Okay.” Shuichi Akai’s response was quite concise.
When the topic of strength came up, Kousuke casually asked Shuichi Akai:
"By the way, what did MI6 say?"
He has only spoken with the FBI, where Shuichi Akai works, and the CIA, where Rena Mizunashi works.
These two organizations have clearly stated that they will get involved, but he has not directly contacted the other two organizations, so he is not sure.
“MI6 will send a few people over to help and provide some assistance,” Shuichi Akai replied.
He had contacted Mary Akai of MI6, which is to say, his mother.
Just like the FBI, MI6 will send a few people to form a team to come to Japan to help.
His mother, Mary Akai, was in charge of managing this group.
He said:
"They've already set off, and they should arrive before the operation begins."
After discussing MI6, Shuichi Akai didn't even need Mitsuyu to ask him before starting to talk about the situation of the Japanese Public Security Bureau.
This is still good news.
He said:
"We have also made contact with the Japanese Public Security Bureau, and they have agreed to cooperate."
During this period, in addition to his daily training and intelligence gathering, he had been discussing this matter with the Japanese Public Security Bureau.
The involvement of the Japanese Public Security Bureau can bring many benefits.
Most importantly, they have far fewer restrictions on their movements.
Just like on the night of the last full moon, if the Japanese Public Security Bureau had joined them then, Judy wouldn't have needed to fabricate any reason for the kidnapping.
On the other hand, with the Japanese Public Security Bureau joining, their strength will increase significantly.
The FBI, CIA, and MI6 are all state-sponsored organizations, each extremely powerful on its own, capable of easily destroying a distillery.
However, these organizations are not Japanese; they are from other countries.
Normally, if the winery is not conducting illegal activities within the jurisdiction of these organizations, then these organizations can completely ignore it.
The distillery may seem powerful, but in the face of a state-backed organization, it's as fragile as paper.
The level of technology alone is on a completely different level.
But the distillery insisted on operating within the jurisdiction of these organizations and caused some trouble, so these organizations had to take charge of the matter.
However, because the distillery doesn't cause trouble very often, its hazard level isn't as high as that of local forces, so they haven't paid much attention to it.
Moreover, since the other party fled overseas, in order to avoid potential trouble, a few elites were selected to lead the team and form an action group to take charge.
You can apply for support, but there won't be many people willing to help.
Without requesting support, the three organizations combined probably wouldn't even have twenty members.
