Chapter 43: The Persecution of Lei

Higashino Kazuki was not wearing the gold-rimmed glasses he wore that day. He had a pair of beautiful deep blue eyes, but at this moment his eye sockets were slightly red, as if too much red paint was added when drawing these eyes.

He led Akiyama Sou to the inner room, where she hiccuped and cried.

It was the hiccups, definitely not because I accidentally ate too many of the delicious cookies provided to the guests at the funeral.

Higashino Kazuki considerately asked someone to bring him a glass of water.

While Akiyama Kanade was drinking water, he stood by with his arms folded, slowly tapping his elbows with his fingers.

There is only a wall between the inner room and the outside, and people with good hearing can clearly hear what is happening outside.

Akiyama Kanade put down his cup and whispered thank you. Higashino Kazuki stared at his face and suddenly said, "You don't look like her."

Akiyama Kanade continued to talk nonsense: "My sister and I are a reconstituted family. We are not biological siblings, but we have a very good relationship!"

Higashino Kazuki smiled, "No wonder..." He paused, suddenly looked away, and cleared his throat to cover up, "...I'm sorry."

"Ah?" Akiyama Kanade looked at him in confusion, not knowing why he was apologizing.

Higashino Kazuki took out a necklace, which was the one he gave to Matsumoto Tsukiko. He looked down at the necklace in his hand and said calmly, "I am responsible for a large part of her death. Those people came for us, and she was implicated..."

Qiu Shan Zou Niang racked his brains to comfort him: "You... please accept my condolences."

Higashino Kazuki's expression suddenly became a little confusing, "...You two siblings' train of thought are a little hard to understand."

Is this perhaps a compliment?

Akiyama Kanade isn't very good at comforting people, so she usually chooses to follow her instincts at times like this.

His intuition is rarely wrong, which is probably an ability he has developed while wearing a vest - as a script creator, he has a God's perspective on the actors' emotions.

He patted Higashino Kazuki's shoulder and said, "It's not your fault. If my sister were still alive, she wouldn't blame you."

Higashino Kazuki looked into Akiyama Kanade's eyes, as if looking for the shadow of another person through him. "You may not believe it, but your sister and I have only met once... She is a very lovely person," he smiled, "She must be very proud that she made me fall head over heels for her in just one night."

Well, according to Matsumoto Tokiko's character, she would indeed be so proud that she would let the whole of Japan know that someone loves her so much.

Higashino Kazuki was the only surprise in Akiyama Sou's plan. Now Akiyama Sou believed that if he sold him the [Resurrection Water], he would probably agree to exchange his soul without hesitation.

Unfortunately, the purity of Dongye and Shu's souls is too far apart, so they cannot become his customers.

Why isn't Lei the one who is affectionate?

Qiu Shan felt depressed.

Higashino Kazuki said in a serious tone: "I will definitely avenge your sister."

Akiyama Zou: ...That's not necessary. Thank you for your kindness.

It was impossible for Matsumoto Tsukiko to be taken back for the time being - he could not accept digging a grave to some extent - but fortunately this was not the first time he had lost the spare body, and Akiyama Kanade gradually got used to it.

Anyway, the stock in the warehouse is sufficient.

Higashino Kazuki seemed to be planning to take care of Matsumoto Tsukiko's only remaining relatives, and he started looking for a suitable aristocratic school for his brother before the funeral was over. Akiyama Kanade was frightened by his posture and ran away when Higashino Kazuki was not paying attention.

It is impossible to go to school.

After returning, Amoruso transferred Lei to his own team. Lei used to be a sniper, and was under Gin's control. He only needed to do some fighting and killing work when there was a mission.

It's different here for Amoruso, who has to clock in for work. Even many employees in the company are just ordinary people who don't know that they are working for a transnational criminal group.

As the third in command, Amoruso doesn't have to do many things himself. He has wines like Pisco to do the work for him and manage his companies.

Working under Amoruso in the organization can be considered a good job, because his position is relatively stable and he won't collapse if he is suddenly suspected of being an undercover agent. Moreover, he is in charge of the organization's money flow. In short, he has money.

However, it is another bottle of wine that is specifically responsible for the financial approval work.

This is understandable.

Amoruso's past was created by the [Personality Generator], which is equivalent to a paratrooper. Therefore, the financial work organized before Amoruso's birth must also be operated.

[Character Generator] just adds a person to the top of the pyramid of this operating system.

Akiyama Kanade particularly likes this setting, because the operating system is already mature and very convenient for slacking off. He can just throw a spare body here and not worry about it.

But before that, he had to prepare for torturing Lei.

If Lei had killed another undercover agent, Akiyama Kanade, he might not have been so angry. However, he tried so hard to protect Scotland, but it was destroyed because of him. Moreover, Scotland might have been a good friend of Matsuda Jinpei. Matsuda would definitely be very sad if he knew that he was dead.

The more I think about it, the more I can't swallow this anger.

But speaking of which, he still has Scotland's corpse in his warehouse. Maybe he can try to sell the [Revitalizing Water] to Matsuda Jinpei in the future. But if that happens, he will have nowhere to sell the [panacea that cures all diseases], and he can't just fleece one person.

Akiyama Kanade also thought about promoting [Revitalizing Water] to Bourbon, because he seemed to have a good relationship with Scotland.

However, based on his understanding of Bourbon, although this guy is kinder than Gin, he is also very cruel. A dead traitor may arouse his sympathy, but he may not want this person to come back to life.

Some people can be remembered when they are dead, but can only fight to the death when they are alive.

There is no rush for these things, you can write them down in a notebook first.

Wait until he has had enough fun before preparing for the official launch.

There is actually a shadow that has always been lingering in Akiyama Kanade's heart - he doesn't know whether he will really be resurrected after successfully selling the goods, or will be completely wiped out like a tool that has lost its value... He vaguely feels that things will not be that simple.

So even though he has been working hard to find customers, improve his favorability, and make preparations, Akiyama Kanade is still not truly ready to face the future.

Once all three shipments are sold, he will see where all this ends.

He had no intention of backing off, he just needed some time.

Back to the arrangement for Lei. Akiyama Kanade wanted to achieve two goals with Lei.

1. Torture him cruelly; 2. Try out your ability to write new scripts on him.

First of all, Akiyama Kanade came up with a very vicious idea. He threw Lei, a military officer, into the public relations department, a department that needs to be patient the most.

As for the second point, the script written by Akiyama Kanade is like this. He got the inspiration from a romance novel: domineering president x reckless little white flower.

As a military officer, Lei Yi would definitely not be able to handle those public relations matters well. Then he could come out as the big boss, pull the people behind him, and say in a low voice -

"Who bullied me?"

Hmm...what should I do if I find this scene disgusting when I think about the target being that Lei?

However, if the experiment is successful, he wants to change this part and perform it on Officer Matsuda... Ah, it really feels much more comfortable on him.

However, the plan suffered a disastrous defeat at its first step.

Akiyama Kanade never expected that Lei was actually a master of public relations! !

How could this be?

Didn't he clearly tell the head of the public relations department to give the most difficult rich woman to him?

The person in charge felt wronged: "I did exactly what you said...but this guy is weird. He sat there and smoked two cigarettes in a depressed manner, and all those rich ladies were confused."

He muttered quietly: "The last person who achieved this was Gin-sama?"

Akiyama Kanade: ...!

Gin actually did this?

Suddenly I had that subtle feeling that "your husband is cheating on you". What's going on?

The person in charge quickly explained: "That's not the case. It was just that once Gin-sama came here to do something and went to the wrong room, which caused a series of oolongs afterwards."

Oh, after all the fuss, it turns out that Gin has been lost for a long time.

When one plan failed, Akiyama came up with another one.

If it was just revenge at first, now it's a battle for dignity. I'm going to make Lei cry!

…

Ley received an email from Amoruso, who asked him to meet him at a villa in Gunma Prefecture.

Is it finally coming?

Lei didn't know how he caught this person's attention. Amoruso used to be an FBI agent and was very familiar with the FBI's work. Lei didn't want to have too much communication with him.

Unfortunately, things did not go as planned.

The other party cared about him so much and said he would give him a chance to move up, but in fact he was doing things that were intended to demote him.

After years of business, he was forced to start over in a new place.

And it is a department far away from the core secrets of the organization.

Ley had to think that Amoruso might have discovered something and was doubting his identity.

But he had no idea when his flaws were revealed.

This villa in Gunma Prefecture is located deep in the mountains, far away from human habitation. It is a good place to deal with traitors quietly.

In the name of a mission, lure the traitor to the designated location and then take action.

Ley thought of the organization's approach to Scotland at the time.

Is it your turn now?

He has arranged for FBI agents to wait outside with transmitters on them. If the situation changes, the undercover plan will have to be terminated. If necessary, it would be best to arrest Amoruso.

At the door of the villa, two maids stood with their heads bowed. They respectfully led Lei into the door and came to the door of a house.

One of them came forward and knocked on the door.

"Master, the people have arrived."

After a while, the door opened and Amoruso yawned and appeared. He was wearing a white nightgown, his black hair was scattered randomly and messily, and his purple peach eyes were smiling.

"Ah, you're here. Please come in."

Very enthusiastic attitude.

Lei walked in and the door closed behind him.

The room was divided into two parts, one with a large bed and the other with a low table and several sofas.

This is a bedroom.

Ley: ?

He imagined many scenarios. He might enter a study, an interrogation room, or even find Gin pointing a gun at him behind the door.

In any case, a bedroom was not what he had expected.

Even though his thoughts were in a mess, Lei was still alert to the man behind him. When the man suddenly attacked him, he felt that this was exactly what he expected.

The opponent kicked him in the knee. His strength was so great that it was like being hit by a steel pipe. Although Lei was prepared, his knee was also kicked and he fell to one knee.

The floor was covered with soft wool carpet, so it didn't hurt. But soon a hand pressed down on his head, and Lei was forced to hold on to the edge of the bed in front of him.

Being completely suppressed by that person.
