Chapter 41

"Even if you have other channels to know the details of Xingchuan and Ming's poisoning, why are you so concerned about him, and why do you link this matter with my exposure?"

Kagino Tomoe looked at Amuro Toru in front of him with suspicion. After noticing the dangerous arc on the corner of his mouth, his mind suddenly twitched and he blurted out:

"Could it be that you were behind the poisoning of Xingchuan and Ming?"

Amuro Toru's smile froze, and he said unhappily:

"How is that possible? Of course it's not me!"

However, he did loosen the hand that had been clamped on Kagino Satoshi's wrist.

Kagino Satoshi rubbed his wrist which was so painful from being squeezed, and for a moment he felt that his guess was a bit extreme.

I just saw with my own eyes that this blond man linked me to the poisoning case of Xingchuan and Ming after he found the handwriting on my notepad.

And if this person really had the means to obtain the inside information of the Metropolitan Police Department and knew the content of the notice letter I sent to Xingchuan and Ming's computers, and then saw the notepad with exactly the same content, it is not impossible for him to guess to this extent.

I just didn't expect that there is actually someone who could deduce the truth to this extent based on just such a few clues!

He even found out clearly the reason why he was accidentally exposed. Could it be that all the members of this criminal organization are so powerful?

When Kagamino Satoshi looked up again, his eyes were filled with deep fear towards Amuro Toru.

Amuro Toru was very satisfied with Kagamino Satoshi's reaction at this time. It should be said that the reason why he used this method to scare the other party just now was to achieve this effect.

He looked at Kagamino Satoshi's face, which was still childish but defensive towards him, and suddenly a warm smile belonging to Amuro Toru appeared on his face, and he said meaningfully:

"I forgot to tell you that I have a pretty good relationship with Xingchuan and Ming. So even if something like this happened, Xingchuan was willing to tell me."

In fact, Hoshikawa and Akira never mentioned this to Amuro Toru, and even the apartment murder case was learned by Amuro Toru from the case report provided by Kazami Yuya. But this did not prevent him from using this reason to break the last line of defense of the boy in front of him.

Sure enough, after hearing what Amuro Toru said, Kagino Satoshi finally widened his eyes and shouted uncontrollably:

"You two actually know each other? So you want to use Xingchuan and Ming to threaten me?"

Toru Amuro looked at Kagamino Satoshi's performance at this moment, and felt complicated for a moment.

If possible, he certainly didn't want to use this method to threaten the innocent boy in front of him. But the other party is now on the organization's key focus list, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will sooner or later become a member of the organization.

As a member of the organization, Bourbon cannot do anything out of the ordinary that is beyond his membership in the organization, even if the other party is just a new outsider.

Only by being careful enough can our side have a chance of achieving ultimate victory.

Therefore, even if he wanted to take care of Kagino Satoshi under the huge shadow of the organization, he must not show any kindness.

On the contrary, it is a safer and more effective approach to keep the other party firmly within one's sphere of influence through coercion and inducement.

So he smiled softly, and his eyes, which had been staring at Kagano Satoshi, were filled with a layer of suppressed coldness. When he spoke again, his tone was obviously gentle and soothing, but for some reason Kagano Satoshi felt a chill down his spine.

"How can this be considered a threat? Kagino Satoshi, I want to protect you two because I have a good relationship with Hoshikawa Kazuaki!"

"Do you think you were very secretive about sending the notice? Have you ever thought that if the person who came to see you today was not me, but other members of the organization, would they still point out your special relationship with Xingchuan and Ming as kindly as I did after they found out about it?"

Toru Amuro first fully demonstrated his side of the organization's style, and then cleverly separated himself from other people in the organization, giving Kagino Tomoo a strange sense of trust, as if "this person is also a member of that organization, but he is on my side."

And when he realizes that the current crisis is no longer something he can resolve independently, he will instinctively rely on himself, a person who is capable of resolving the problem and whom he can trust.

"What...what do you mean?" Kagino Satoshi was indeed led astray.

Toru Amuro took a step forward and saw that Kagamino Satoshi was no longer avoiding him as cautiously as before, but was waiting for his answer with caution and a little confusion, so he smiled more gently.

"That is to say, since you have been the focus of the organization, then Xingchuan and Ming, who you have been secretly protecting, will sooner or later be noticed by the organization. I think this is definitely not what you want to see, right?"

Kagino Satoshi immediately shook his head wildly.

Amuro Toru continued in a leisurely tone, and said gently:

"But, although you are at the top of the Internet world, in reality, you are just a minor with no social experience. Can you really protect him in such a dangerous environment of the organization?"

Kagino Satoshi lowered his head, and his face finally revealed the fear and anxiety that was typical of a man of his age.

He had actually thought about the problem that Amuro Toru mentioned a long time ago and had been worried about it all the time.

But the organization's people could come knocking at any time, and he simply had no time or energy to deal with this matter. Unexpectedly, his thoughts were revealed by the blond man in front of him.

Kagino Satoshi thought in despair, could it be that the people in the organization are so powerful? What should he do at this time? If it was Xingchuan and Ming who encountered this situation, what would he do?

Calm down, I have to calm down.

Kagino Chi looked up at Amuro Toru, suppressed his confused emotions, and asked softly:

"Why are you telling me this? What is your purpose?"

He looked at Amuro Toru's expression that showed he had everything under control, and suddenly something clicked in his mind, and he was surprised:

"You want me to beg you for help? Are you trying to seduce me?"

Toru Amuro admired in his heart, what a sharp boy he is.

The other party had obviously only been killing people on the Internet and had never really come into contact with these dark things. However, he was able to understand his intentions in such a short time and regain control of the rhythm of the conversation.

Although this may not be useful, his potential can still be seen.

Such an outstanding boy should not sink into the bloody and dark quagmire of the organization. As expected, such a criminal organization should be destroyed as soon as possible to give citizens a clean living space. In order to achieve this goal as soon as possible, I have to work harder.

He looked at the boy in front of him, saying sorry in his heart, but his will remained extremely firm.

"To say I'm tempting is a bit of an exaggeration. You call yourself a businessman, and I'm just doing business with you."

Amuro Toru's eyes softened, and his expression became gentle and friendly again. As long as he wanted, he could make people feel good about him under any circumstances.

Kagino Tomo was indeed moved, and his tone became calm as he asked:

"What business?"

Toru Amuro curled the corners of his mouth, revealing a sunny and gentle smile, looking like a caring older brother next door.

"I can clean up this matter for you, and even help you hide your relationship with Xingchuan and Ming. All you need to do is provide me with some network assistance when I need it. This is actually easy for you, isn't it?"

Kagino Satoshi's eyes moved slightly: "Just that?"

Amuro Toru raised his eyebrows, nodded and smiled:

"That's it. Of course, if you agree to this deal, then when I ask you to research some special information on the Internet, you can't refuse, and you can't tell anyone."

Kagino Tomo took a deep breath. He could guess that the other party had gone to such great lengths to entice him, and that what he would investigate would definitely not be ordinary intelligence. But he still agreed without hesitation.

"Okay. I'll make a deal with you. Likewise, you have to keep the matter of Xingchuan and Ming secret from the organization."

Toru Amuro did not respond, but instead brought up another topic.

"I think, after spying on the organization for so long, you should have realized that the organization is not a charity and will not show any mercy to members who have lost their usefulness."

Kagino Satoshi nodded silently, and then he realized that he had been forced to board the organization's pirate ship, and his mood became depressed again.

Seeing that he did not refute his statement of "secretly spying on him for so long", Amuro Toru kept it in mind without making a sound and continued:

"So, if any other members of the organization contact you or give you any orders in the future, you must contact me immediately. As we are trading partners, I will guide you step by step on how to survive in this ruthless organization. But remember, you can't tell anyone else about this. You must know that besides me, there will be no one else in the entire organization willing to help you like this."

Kagino Tomo looked at him blankly for a while, then said in disbelief:

"If I understand correctly, what you mean is that I need to report all my contacts with other members of the organization and even all the orders I receive from the organization to you, right? Is this the faction shown on TV? Am I a member of your faction from now on?"

Amuro Toru laughed and said, "That's right if you want to understand it that way."

Satoshi Kagino pursed his lips. He really didn't expect that in just a few days, he went from being a free otaku hacker to a member of a criminal organization.

Although the man in front of him looked scary, he was indeed very strong and had really helped him a lot. Being his younger brother should be the best choice now.

Kagino Satoshi nodded and said, "Okay! Boss, how should I address you?"

"My code name in the organization is Bourbon. Later, I will send you a copy of the rules and taboos after joining the organization. If you want to live longer, you must remember them well. Of course, the best way is to follow a senior member who is willing to protect you. You know what to do, right?"

Toru Amuro left a phone card and left, leaving Satoshi Kagano standing in the living room with a troubled look on his face, shaking his head in annoyance.

I was a graduate student at the University of Tokyo with a bright future ahead of me. My friends were all honest police officers. I had hacker skills and never had to worry about money. What a great configuration. But now, I was forced to join a criminal organization and became a subordinate of a dangerous person?

Now, I have even less courage to meet Xingchuan and Mingliao.

I don’t know how Xiaoxing is doing recently.

Oh, right! We need to make him be careful of the people around him. That Bourbon boss doesn't look like a good guy!
