Chapter 27 The First Player

Mori Ou was also thinking about Jundu.

The first impression he gave was that of a young man who looked a little sickly, gentle and harmless.

Even he didn't notice anything wrong with his disguise at first sight. If he were walking on the streets of Yokohama, there is a high possibility that even the thugs passing by would want to rob him. He doesn't look like someone who lives in the dark at all.

Of course...if someone really dared to rob him, he would probably be confused even when he died about why he made such a mistake.

With just a few words, he deduced his identity and tested him, and seemingly nonchalantly revealed the intelligence of his own organization to him.

Today, he was told that the Hong Kong gang’s internal defense is lax and short of manpower, and that there is an “undercover” named “Imai Akito”…

Although Mori Ogai was not sure to what extent "Cointreau" knew him and what he had guessed, he was also keenly aware that there was no better or more perfect opportunity than now.

At this time, the Hong Kong Black was in turmoil both inside and outside. Nearly two-thirds of the Black Lizards were out on the move, and nearly half of the guerrillas were also dispatched. His people were still in the Hong Kong Black because of his orders. If he launched a "coup" at this time, the armed forces outside would not be well informed, and it would take time for them to return. The resistance he encountered would certainly be minimal - by the time they returned, the drama might have come to an end.

After all, he brought Dazai Osamu back from outside, and even if it was just as a banner, the credibility of his words as a notary was still very low. But at this time, Cointreau sent him Pasetto.

As a veteran of the organization, he had been in the Hong Kong Mafia for three years, which was a long time since the evaluation period was three to four months. He had no connection with the organization, so his credibility increased sharply.

He is an undercover agent, and he is also an undercover agent of an organization that has recently cooperated with the port mafia to conduct arms deals, and has indirectly caused the old leader to be furious and "illness has worsened". Now he has this handle in his hand. If "Imai Akito" wants to live, the only way left is to be used by him obediently.

——A perfect “witness”.

——Such a good opportunity, with the right time, right place and right people. If he can't quickly seize this chance to move up, then he'd better be an underground black doctor for the rest of his life.

I guess Jundu has not yet fully informed this Imai-kun of his plan... Does it look like he is being abandoned? Of course, the possibility that he is testing him is also not small.

He is a really deep-minded guy who is difficult to deal with. Fortunately, he should leave Yokohama in the next few days. If he is still in Yokohama, he is not sure whether he can sit firmly on the position of leader in the future.

Being able to decisively choose to leave Yokohama at this moment...I have to say, he still feels a little regretful.

"Let's go, Imai-kun, and Dazai-kun."

After covering the old leader's body, Mori Ogai took out a handkerchief and wiped the blood off his face. He said calmly, "I think you two know what to say and do next, right?"

***

“…Ah, Ah!”

Xi Hai Qing Dou rubbed his nose and muttered softly: "Who is talking about me?"

He sneezed three times in a row!

Could it be that there is more than one person who is thinking about him?

Vodka said hesitantly: "Cointreau...Are you sick with a cold?"

Considering his physical condition, it doesn't seem impossible, right?

Thinking of this, he immediately said, "Luckily I brought a medical kit with me before I came! It's under the steering wheel. How about you take your temperature and take some medicine first?"

Xi Haiqingdou's mouth twitched: "Why do you bring this kind of thing?"

There are even cold medicine and thermometers? Isn't this too complete and too ordinary? !

Vodka chuckled and said, "My elder brother asked me to bring it with me! He said it might be useful to me."

As expected, Big Brother is Big Brother. He even guessed that Cointreau might be sick! Today is another day of admiring Big Brother.

This Gin guy... half of the reputation about his poor health was spread by him, right?

Xi Haiqingdou gritted his teeth. Although he also had the idea of ​​deliberately leading others to think that he was not in good health, why did he feel so unhappy when this guy sincerely believed it and even included Vodka in the thought?

"You don't have a cold, so you don't need to take medicine. I guess maybe Passito misses me. Just drive your car well and don't make random guesses." He touched his nose and resisted.

In order to prevent Vodka from continuing to talk about this matter, he changed the subject: "Come to think of it, I never thought that the person sent by Takase to follow us would be someone like Maruno-kun... It seems that nepotism is not something that can be done casually."

He sincerely sighed: "Maruno-kun, you are so unlucky to have taken such an unfortunate job."

Because they brought two people from the Takase Society, the four of them split into two groups. He and Vodka were in one car with Maruno Shunta, while Lei and Scotland were in Lei's car with another person named Ono Daisuke.

Maruno Shunta, who was tied to the back seat by them, felt so hopeless that he wanted to cry on the spot, but he couldn't help but complained in a very small voice: "I think so too."

He really felt that he was unlucky - he knew that the bad things he encountered before this operation were a warning to him in advance! It was a pity that his brother did not take it as seriously as he did, and did not let him go to the shrine to pray for him but instead assigned him this errand.

It’s all his brother’s fault…this “easy and less work, easy promotion” thing is all fake!

Moreover, he actually learned from Ono Daisuke that his brother was not the "ordinary team leader" as he said, but the captain of the leader's personal guard, and he even had special abilities!

...It must be fake, right? Compared to him, his younger brother knows nothing at all, or he must have been picked up by his brother, right?

"Well, Mr. Cointreau, could it be that you are really mistaken?"

Maruno Shunta swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously, "Ono Daisuke must have lied to you. My brother is not the captain of the personal guard at all. He is just an ordinary captain of the guard. How could he have any relationship with the leader? My brother and I have always lived together, and I have never heard of this news!"

"Oh, it seems that Brother-kun is really a good brother."

Xi Haiqing Dou smiled with interest and kindly explained to him: "Maruno-kun, you haven't figured it out, have you? In fact, in this world, sometimes the more you know, the better. Sometimes the less you know, the easier it is to survive. I think my brother has rarely let you, Maruno, come into contact with the deeper darkness. Maruno-kun, you rarely face life-and-death battles, right?"

Indeed...Looking back, he had always been doing jobs like collecting rent, watching over the place, running errands, fighting, etc. Even though his brother had taught him how to shoot, and he always brought a gun with him when he went on a mission, he almost never had the chance to use it.

Moreover, the atmosphere in their organization has suddenly become tense in the past few days, and everyone is almost ready to fight and face death. The task assigned to him by his brother is still just to follow these mysterious people. Even Ono Daisuke is going on the mission with him - this person seems to be an elite member of the organization.

Even over the years, thinking back carefully, his brother had never told him what his specific job was, just like he and his brother never told their mother that they worked at Takase-kai.

Maruno Shunta was stunned.

"It seems that Maruno-kun is really important to Brother-kun. Brother-kun protects you very well. Maruno-kun has a good brother." Looking at his expression, Xi Haiqingdou supported his chin and added casually.

It is really rare for a guy working in the mafia to have such a look. If he is not well protected, the only reason is that this guy is a fool.

It was the same look that Asahina occasionally showed, revealing a clear sense of stupidity.

"It's not a good thing to be too well protected, right?" Vodka suddenly interrupted, "According to what big brother said, if you don't know anything, you might die one day and not even know how you died."

Saikai Haruto was not surprised: "So that's what Gin is."

"Well, Lord Jundu, what exactly do you want to do?"

Maruno Shunta mustered up the courage to raise his head, and looked towards Saikai Haruto tremblingly, with obvious uneasiness in his eyes.

"They are not from Yokohama, right? Although I don't know why the president and his men sent us to follow them, I don't think they have any intention of attacking them... Just like what Lord Jundu said, my brother has always been very protective of me. If it required a fight or a conflict, he would never let me take over this mission!"

"Oh. What do you want to know?"

Saikai Haruto chuckled, his expression unchanged: "You suddenly told me all this, Maruno-kun, are you planning to betray Takase? Is this okay?"

"No, no, I just, I just... Lord Jundu, can you please not kill my brother? I can help you persuade him or act as your insider. I can do whatever you need me to do, as long as you don't kill my brother no matter what you do!"

Maruno Shunta couldn't help but lower his head under his gaze, and spoke with a trembling voice.

This guy called "Cointreau" is a devil...he can't even be considered a human being, right?

Although he didn't know what they were planning, Maruno Shunta knew that Maruno Ryota could not defeat him... As long as he was in his hands, his brother would be like a kite with the bottom string pinched by someone, and could fall at any time.

Now they are in the dark and his brother is in the light, and this devil's brain is ten thousand times better than that of the two brothers combined... No matter what Maruno Shunta tries, he can't think of any way to guarantee Maruno Ryota's safety.

Unless his brother's Achilles' heel dies.

...But Maruno Shunta couldn't guarantee that his brother wouldn't go crazy if he died...After all, the relationship between him and his brother was not just brothers, it was no different to say they were "father and son". His brother wasn't married and didn't have a son.

And Maruno Shunta himself doesn't want to die.

Compared to his and his brother's lives, betraying the Takase Society wouldn't be a big deal, right? After all, didn't his brother always teach him that "if you encounter any special danger, you must put your own life first and nothing else matters"?

"…Hey, isn't it really too sad for Maruno-kun to say such a thing?"

The devil's voice of pretending to be surprised sounded from above his head. Before Maruno Shunta's heart had time to sink, he heard him say: "Of course I won't do anything to Maruno-kun's brother. Maruno-kun can rest assured that I won't kill anyone suddenly. I can assure Maruno-kun that as long as the brother-kun doesn't take the initiative to attack us, we will not kill the brother-kun."

……Very good.

Maruno Shunta breathed a sigh of relief.
