Chapter 287 Thirty-two Villains
"So boring - Gin, is there anything interesting recently?"
In the old black car, the black-haired boy lazily lying by the window in the back seat puffed up his face and complained, "Didn't I give you the complete plan for this mission? Why do you still want me to step in? It's so annoying. We are partners and we don't have to stick together for every mission. Are you addicted to me?"
The co-driver threw a pack of cigarettes at the car to prove that he was not addicted and that he really wanted to throw the guy in the back seat out of his beloved car.
Unfortunately, Akajinazuki pretended that she didn't understand the murderous look in Gin's rearview mirror. She caught the cigarette box lightly, knocked a cigarette out of it with familiarity, and put it in her mouth and started chewing it.
The vodka sweat in the driver's seat was about to flow like a waterfall: When did Kaluuya change his big brother's cigarettes to cigarette-shaped finger biscuits? !
Perhaps it was because the man behind him munching on a biscuit in a leisurely manner that really made Gin feel more angry. Vodka immediately received the look from his elder brother. He swallowed and tried to keep his voice from shaking: "This, elder brother can't decide. After all, it was that gentleman who specifically asked you, Lord Kalua, to attend as a representative..."
Vodka only dared to brag a few words in his heart, but when he spoke out loud he still used honorifics in a proper manner, which seemed to imply that he was timid and ready to die.
...That's of course. Ever since Kalua came back from Hakata two months ago, two things related to Kalua have been spreading like wildfire within the organization, and Vodka knows all about it.
First, Councillor Harada, the person whom Kalua needed to investigate, indeed betrayed the organization, and was therefore silenced by Kalua; second, the local tyrant Hua Jiuhui, who had been opposing the organization in Hakata, was diverted by Kalua to fight a life-and-death battle with the organization codenamed Animal. The organization successfully reaped the benefits and expanded its sphere of influence in Hakata, almost succeeding in taking over most of the dark world of the killer city; second, was the origin of Vodka's fear of Kalua.
Binga, the future confidant that the second-in-command Rum openly favored, was killed by Kaluya on the charge that he was an "undercover agent of the Huajiu Society."
Yes, even if Kalua did give Rum, who came to question him, a complete set of evidence that Binga was an undercover agent, anyone with a brain would know that the evidence might not be true. Considering the tense relationship between Rum and Kalua, it is possible that Kalua deliberately killed Binga in order to displease Rum.
What scared Vodka was not the way Kalua killed Binga, but the fact that after Kalua did so, the gentleman did not blame him at all, and even sided with Kalua when trying to mediate between Kalua and Rum.
Vodka estimated that Belmode's title of 'the boss's most beloved woman' might have been transferred to Kaluuya, who could be called 'the boss's most beloved successor'.
As a senior executive with horrific means and the support of that gentleman, no matter how brave Vodka is, there is no way he can conflict with Kaluuya.
Not to mention that this is the scary Kaluuya who is secretly called the Worrier by the people in the organization!
Chijiang Nayue met Vodka's furtive glance with a half-smile, and saw with satisfaction that the man in the driver's seat trembled again.
Vodka, that's fun.
He sighed from the bottom of his heart.
Looking at Vodka's reaction, it was worth it that he had specially controlled Rum and played the role of Karasuma Renya. Although it had no effect on someone like Gin, the good thing was that ordinary members of the organization and those who were not looking for death would basically not be so blind as to make him unhappy again.
How should I put it... Being a decent guy certainly has its meaning, but it's also really fun to be a villain and bully others (especially members of an organization)!
He bit into another dried cigarette and uttered a nonchalant "hmm". The two people in front of him were obviously already familiar with Kaluuya's moody nature after six months of torture, and they did not comment on his sudden cold attitude.
I don't dare to drink vodka, and I'm too annoyed by gin.
Chijiang Nayue was looking out the window in a good mood and biting the biscuit with a crisp sound.
They were on their way to the hotel. The so-called troublesome mission was actually deliberately issued to them by Akae Nazuki using Karasuma Renya's identity, so the dissatisfaction and complaints before were purely acting and playing tricks on them.
"Hmm." He squeezed the cigarette box and suddenly said, "Is everything ready in Curacao?"
A vague female voice immediately rang out from the channel in the car: "Everything is ready."
“That’s great.”
He curled his eyes and clasped his hands together with a soft snap. "Now that we're here, let's go have a good time, shall we?"
There are quite a few people involved in this mission, not to mention Gin at the main sniper position and Vodka as his auxiliary, there are also the deputy snipers Chianti, Cohen and Calvados scattered in the other two positions, Bermode who has disguised himself and infiltrated the banquet hall, and the most important traders Kalua and Curacao.
The lineup was quite luxurious, and many people couldn't understand why such a big fuss was made, because the content of this transaction was a top-secret secret. Among all the people, only Gin, Vermouth and Kaluuya knew the whole picture, and even Curacao was only hinted a few times by Rum.
It was just that Kaluuya had relayed a sentence from that gentleman beforehand, which made everyone afraid to take it lightly.
[Failure is not allowed in this mission.] That gentleman seemed to be asking for this.
...Chijiang Nayue, who actually issued this order, obviously saw the excitement and was not afraid of making trouble.
—
The legendary big shots in this banquet are actually a duke, an earl and the most important two eldest princes from the Kingdom of Vesbania. Leaving aside the first two, the prince is actually twelve years old this year. He has no brothers or sisters and only one sister. He is the definite heir to the throne of Vesbania.
In name, the Duke was accompanying Prince Gil on a study tour, and when they came to Japan, they stopped by the Sakura Hotel, which was invested by Queen Vesbania. The Karasuma Group, which owns the hotel, held this banquet for the prince to welcome him.
However, the actual situation investigated by the police is not as simple as it seems. Their undercover agents in the organization overheard intelligence in advance and learned that the organization will trade with one of the visitors, but the police do not know which of the visitors the organization will trade with.
After investigation, the police found that the two suspected targets were Duke Girard, Count Chis, and the Queen's investment agent, Miss Maru Xiajiang, who came to visit casually.
Of course, if it was just a deal, even if it involved the royal family of another country, the public security would not act so hastily. The problem lies in the content of the deal.
This is something the five police academy students didn't know.
What they were trading was a magical mineral unique to the Kingdom of Vesbania, which could make all electronic equipment within range stop working.
Once the organization controls this ore, the power of the organization will expand to the point where it is difficult to resist. After all, this ore that can be used militarily is coveted by most countries. Everyone will want to get the Vesbania ore. By then, organizations that have no conflict of interest with them can naturally use the ore in their hands to trade again and get more of what the organization wants.
Even if they don't take out the ore for a second trade in the end, but just keep it for themselves, it will be much more difficult for others to attack the organization.
Therefore, this deal must not be made!
The banquet started not long ago. At this moment, all the participants here are basically celebrities from all walks of life. They gathered in twos and twos in their respective social circles, chatting, waiting for the main host of the banquet to show up.
Soon, the blond young prince arrived at the banquet hall, but before the people around him could approach him to talk, two strangers to most people came forward and started a friendly conversation with each other.
But even though they were strangers, none of them dared to go up and say anything... After all, they were not deaf and could hear the two people's self-introductions.
The current person who holds real power in Karasuma Group, and... uh, the other party's assistant.
"——This is Miss Tianhai who contacted the Earl earlier. She is also the person in charge of organizing and planning this meeting and banquet." Chijiang Nayue smiled generously and introduced both parties before adding, "I am Miss Tianhai's assistant. I will be in charge of all matters concerning His Royal Highness the Prince and several adults during the banquet at the group. Please give me your guidance."
Let’s not talk about what the Duke and Earl across from me think, or how much restrained curiosity is revealed in the eyes of the blond little prince…
Curacao, in disguise with black hair and blue eyes, tried his best to resist the urge to rebel, and his mind was filled with endless questions: What on earth is Master Kaluuya playing at?!
Obviously, obviously Kaluya-sama is the person in charge, and she is just an ordinary assistant! How come she suddenly became the person in charge, and Kaluya-sama became her assistant?
Curacao always has a sense of crisis that Kalua is plotting against her.
At the same time, Gin, who had been ready at the sniper point, listened to the conversation in the communication channel, and the veins on his forehead jumped. His inner conditioned reflex was to say "What's wrong with Kaluuya again?", but he quickly realized that something was wrong.
Kaluuya never does anything strange during a mission, so...
Gin gave orders to Vodka beside him without hesitation, asking Vodka to immediately contact the staff they had placed in the venue in advance to let them confirm whether all the staff in the hotel were present and could be contacted. At the same time, he calmed down and carefully observed the people in the banquet hall through the sniper scope.
As Vodka received the news that some people were missing, Gin also discovered some people... whose movements and postures were very familiar, and who made him want to sneer involuntarily.
The Japanese public security had actually infiltrated this. No wonder Kaluya suddenly changed his plan and concealed his identity as a trader. This was probably to prevent the public security from discovering that he was the 'Kaluya' who was trading with the other party.
"The operation has been leaked, and a rat from the public security has sneaked in." Gin's cold voice rang in the ears of everyone involved in the operation.
"Do you want to change your action plan, brother?" Vodka asked quickly.
"No."
Gin was a little annoyed. Every time Kaluya made a correct prediction, he would feel unhappy. This time was no exception - Kaluya had discussed the matter of a rat sneaking into the party with him privately in advance.
The task that Kaluya had assigned to him in advance was indeed used at this time.
"The action plan remains the same. As for those rats," Gin's voice sounded slow and low, with a chilling chill. "They and this hotel will forever become a line of numbers in the newspaper after the explosion."
Curacao, who was still in the banquet hall, froze and looked at Chijiang Nayue subconsciously: What? There is a bomb in the banquet hall? Isn't this the organization's business?
Chi Jiang Na Yue pretended not to see Curacao's expression. She was calm and very righteous.
What are you looking at? He was unhappy with Karasuma Renya's industry so he asked Gin to install the bomb in advance. Even if the police didn't come, he planned to find an excuse to blow up this place later. Is there a problem with that?
