Chapter 292 Thirty-Seven Villains

As a huge transnational criminal organization, in addition to the mysterious boss whose information is known by only a few people, other management talents are of course needed.

Rum, the second-in-command of the organization who comes and goes without a trace, is the leader among them.

Morofushi Jingguang was lucky enough to be assigned as a mission partner with Curacao. Although the woman remained silent to all his questions, in order not to reveal his identity, he could only control his curiosity to the level of "curiosity" and resisted the urge to ask more questions.

The second-in-command of the organization, whom he had never seen until he was hunted down as Scotland - in terms of position, Rum was the superior of the intelligence officer Bourbon. Scotland originally had the opportunity to obtain Rum's intelligence. After all, he and Bourbon were both undercover agents, and this important information would occasionally need to be communicated.

However, Bourbon died before that, and therefore, Morobushi Kagemitsu could not find any trace of the character of Rum in his memory. He could only rely on the rumors within the organization to piece together a strange figure.

A strong man, a man who looks like a woman, and an elderly man*... their gender and age are unknown, and it is impossible for them to be the same person. Morofushi Jingguang is keenly aware that perhaps these are just false information deliberately released by Rum to confuse others, and they lack reference value.

Therefore, in Morobuchi Jingguang's mind, the image of Rum, the second-in-command of the organization, has been fixed as a dangerous enemy with advanced paranoia, who adheres to the word "mystic" to the end and is extremely cunning.

"I hate the tone you use when you talk to me, Rum." Zhu Fujingguang heard his friend say gloomily, "Pay attention to your identity, or I will help you pay attention."

In the car opposite the black-haired boy, a sinister voice came: "You are too complacent, Kaluuya."

Chi Jiang Na Yue was not moved by this statement, he did not even raise his eyebrows: "Hmm? Sorry, please repeat it, my ears have been a little bit bad recently, I don't know why-"

While speaking, he seemed to inadvertently lean to the side, and the car window that he had originally blocked was suddenly exposed, allowing Morofushi Jingguang who was hiding not far away to see the appearance of the man inside.

"I don't know why, but sometimes I can't hear the sound of mice talking." Chijiang Nayue lowered her eyes and looked at the man in the back seat of the car. "It's really strange. You were the one who just spoke. Why do you have this problem? Rum, you are not a mouse."

He paused, looking into Rum's eyes with a cold red look, his tone still gentle and polite: "So, are you?"

The man with the shiny hair in the car seemed very indignant about this groundless accusation: "Don't push it too far. Your suspicion has no evidence and can only be regarded as slander. That gentleman will not believe you, Kaluya. Moreover..."

"You killed my favorite subordinates, and left Curacao in a hotel that had bombs set up in advance." The man called Rum said in a deep voice, "Now you inexplicably accuse me of being a traitor. Can I think that you are the real traitor, and all this is just your attempt to divert other people's attention?"

Zhu Fu Jingguang frowned, and saw Chi Jiang Na Yue holding up her chin with her fingers, thinking: "So this is how you see it, Rum? It's really a new way of thinking."

Rum's mouth twitched, and he said impatiently: "We are talking about business, don't interrupt."

"Business?" Chijiang Nayue rolled her eyes and glanced at him lightly, "We have already got what the boss wants. Curacao is in charge of keeping it. If she fails according to my plan, then it has nothing to do with me."

"You know that's not what I'm talking about." Rum's voice became even more gloomy. "Kaluya, do you need to explain the incident in which Duke Gillard was killed by terrorists in a hotel attack?"

The air was silent for a moment.

"Well, was he killed in the explosion?" The black-haired, red-eyed devil's expression showed surprise that didn't seem fake. "I thought he could live a little longer. I had already prepared what to do on their return flight so as not to leave a psychological shadow on the little prince."

Rum sneered deliberately: "Oh? You didn't know? - This lie is really not up to par. It was you who asked Gin to detonate those bombs. Do you still want to quibble now?"

From Rum's perspective, the truth of the matter is probably that Kaluuya deliberately blew up his trading partner and blamed it on an accident, pretending to be innocent in front of him.

But Chi Jiang Nayue felt that she was really innocent. After all, in his plan, the possibility that Duke Kirard would die in the bomb attack in the hotel was only 5%.

The bombs he handed over to Gin had been handled, including the location of the explosion. Before the incident, it was determined that the unrelated people in the hotel could evacuate to a safe area as quickly as possible, so there was no chance that anything would happen to the Duke who was protected by layers of bodyguards.

From this point of view, it is estimated that the unlucky Duke was alone near the bomb when it exploded, and he also dismissed his bodyguards... Chijiang Nayue's expression drifted subtly. Could it be that the guy was popping champagne at halftime, thinking that his throne would be set in stone after the deal was reached, so he dismissed the people around him and celebrated privately?

"It was you who took the initiative to leak the actions of the trading partner to the prince, so that he could find an excuse to leave early." Rum added, "You did unnecessary things, Kaluya."

"That's why I hate communicating with Old Orange the most." Chi Jiang Na Yue looked unhappy, and his words became more and more impolite. His sharp look made people who knew him feel unfamiliar. "How do you judge what is redundant? Oh, sorry, I asked a stupid question. Of course I know the answer to this question."

He leaned forward, leaning against the car window and looking at Rum. Then the frost on his face melted away, his eyes smiled, and his voice was as sweet and gentle as sugar: "For you, Rum, any behavior that undermines your efforts to seize power from the boss, consolidate your position in the organization, and develop your own power is unnecessary. Am I right?"

One second, two seconds, three seconds.

A black gun barrel stretched out, and the end of a gun of the same color touched the black hair in front of Chijiang's forehead.

"I'm curious."

Rum said darkly, "They call you 'Devil', so I'm curious, if I pull the trigger like this, can the legendary devil still use your silver tongue to confuse people's hearts?"

The demon whose vital parts were pressed by him didn't even bat an eyelid, but showed an expectant expression and took the initiative to move towards the muzzle of the gun.

"Really? Do you want to kill me?" he said happily, his tone affectionate, "That's really great. By the way, do your hands shake?"

Rum almost moved the gun away.

The information doesn't say Kaluuya is a psychopath!

But Rum's strong willpower allowed him to control his hand and the gun did not move.

"Didn't your partner Gin teach you the principle of choosing the right moment to speak according to the situation?" Rum laughed in anger.

"Hmm? I don't need to learn that, do I?" Chi Jiang Na Yue said as a matter of course, "You are only the second in command, and I am the heir. No matter what, it is not my turn to look at your face and speak and act."

He rubbed the muzzle of the gun affectionately, his hair was messy and his breathing became a little rapid due to excitement.

"Are you sure? Although I am happy to face a unique death here." Chijiang Nayue looked at the muzzle of the gun reluctantly, but her mouth was a "kind reminder" to Rum, "But if I die in your hands, the boss will be so angry that he will kill you."

"That's not important." Rum said indifferently, "Besides, you just died in the explosion you caused. What does it have to do with me?"

"You should blame it on being too perfect as an heir, Kaluuya."

Rum didn't care whether Kaluuya really wanted to die or said that to scare him so that he would give up killing a madman. He just had to shoot.

Except for Chijiang Nayue, no one could notice the red light that flashed in Rum's eyes when he pulled the trigger, which was the sign that he was being controlled.

Unfortunately, everyone's attention was now on the body that fell backwards to the ground after being shot through the head.

——At the window of the abandoned building at the corner, Morofu Jingguang's nails were already digging into the inside of his palm, leaving a crescent-shaped blood mark.

Not long ago, they had actually noticed the involvement of Akae Nazuki since the first explosion. Matsuda Jinpei and the other chose to eliminate the threat of the bomb first, the squad leader was responsible for helping to delay time, while Morobushi Kagemitsu and Furuya Rei left the team and acted separately.

As soon as he left the hotel, Morofushi Jingguang found several of the most suitable sniping points through terrain survey, and quickly locked Calvados's location among them. After attacking the opponent by surprise, he successfully obtained Calvados's headset.

Morobushi Kagemitsu knew that this was a man of few words who was in love with Vermouth, and that he didn't have a good relationship with Gin, so even if he didn't speak later, it wouldn't be discovered that there was something wrong.

When he saw a familiar figure appear next to a car on the street below, former code member Scotland skillfully tuned into the main communication channel, trying to hear the conversation over there in this way.

Apparently, he succeeded.

God knows how much Zhufu Jingguang wanted to jump out of here when he saw Akajiang Nayue fall down. He almost fainted. He even raised Calvados' sniper rifle again, ready to stop Rum at any time even if it meant exposing his identity.

But he saw that when Rum put the gun to his friend's forehead, his friend put his hands behind his back and gestured in his direction.

That was the hand gesture code that Kalua and Scotland used to use when they were a team. This gesture meant:

【Everything is going according to plan.】

The trust built on the perfect success of countless missions seemed to be engraved deep into the soul, and at this moment it showed its presence. Morobu Kagemitsu inexplicably paused for a moment and actually did not open fire to stop the attack.

Below, Rum seemed to have no intention of getting out of the car to confirm. He was certain that the person shot in the head by him could not be alive, so he just casually threw Kaluya's body on the side of the road, perhaps planning to send someone to deal with the body after he left, pretending it was an accident.

...Then, after the "corpse" stood up from the ground vigorously and jumped twice in its original position, Morobushi Kagemitsu's brain began to stop.

Then he heard the voice on the other end of the headset again.

"Did you hear everything clearly? Rum has indeed betrayed us. The boss said that the next goal of the operation has been changed to eliminating the traitor."

The demon, whose forehead was still covered in blood, wiped his face casually, but it only made the blood smear even more: "This is your specialty, Gin."

…

Gin?

Morofushi Jingguang suddenly realized that perhaps, no, definitely, the previous conversation was deliberately let Gin and him hear by Na Yue, with the purpose of leading Gin to believe that he deliberately went to Rum's place to fish, and to confirm Rum's guilt of having ulterior motives.

"That ignorant man." The familiar clear voice on the other end of the headset wiped out all the emotions in the previous conversation, and the tone quickly turned cold. He said, "Bullets can't kill the devil."
