Bullets are indeed things that kill without blinking an eye, but knives have more advantages, especially when they are poisoned. All you need to do is make a small cut when you pass by. This poison should be developed by the organization, and it cannot be detected in the human body. If I am not mistaken, whether it is the sudden death of the president in the welfare home six years ago, or the sudden and large number of sudden deaths with no cause of death recently, they are all the work of this person.
Bourbon thought secretly, but he didn't know that the long-haired man standing by the door was thinking the same thing as him.
The United States is Cointreau's main base, and the number of people who died suddenly and silently is many times higher than in Japan, where Cointreau has just arrived. His dark green eyes with a single fold were fixed on the hands holding the wine glass. The sleeves looked a little stiff, and it seemed that the murder weapon was hidden there.
"Well," Yu Gu Miao put the prepared wine on the table and gently pushed it over.
The silver-haired man probably didn't know how to write the word "courtesy" in his life. He picked up the wine glass, examined the translucent liquid in the glass for a moment with some pickyness, and then put it into his mouth, spat out the word "good" with great care.
Problem.
Yu Gu Miao rolled her eyes, hooked off the metal-rimmed glasses with her index finger, and threw them casually on the table. The specially reinforced frames were heavier than ordinary ones, and they made a crisp sound when they hit the table.
The cold gray eyes, without the lens blocking them, shot sharply at the three people at the door, like a blade reflecting cold light, "Won't you introduce me to them?"
This was said to Gin, but her eyes were always fixed on the three newcomers in front of her. Yu Gu Miao keenly noticed that the fingers of her hooded friend's left hand hanging by his leg moved slightly, and then quickly put it into his pocket.
After that, it was the boring code name introduction part. Of course, Gin wouldn't say it for them. In this case, the introduction was not a class meeting on the first day of school. Everyone just blurted out their code names and occasionally used a few words mixed with tentative and provocative meanings to poke each other.
Eh...?
Yutani Mia's eyes paused for a moment at her friend's light golden hair.
Is the relationship with Akai very bad? It seems that Gin's attitude towards him is not right... No, Zero, what did you do when you were undercover? Akai Shuichi is fine, but why did you get involved with Gin, that troublesome guy?
After the three of them had introduced themselves, Gin reluctantly said, "It's up to you."
"Huh?" Yu Gu Miao immediately questioned, "I don't need it..."
No, I've said it so many times before, I really need to keep an eye on these three guys.
He closed his eyes in annoyance. Fortunately, Gin had made up his mind to let him lead this group. He just notified him and didn't care whether he refused or not. In fact, to put it bluntly, "leading" means that he will be responsible for the tasks of the three people in the future, whether they are issued or accepted. Of course, he also plays a role in monitoring and evaluation.
But another important issue is that this kind of thing has always been done by Rum and Gin.
Uploading and sending is a troublesome and time-consuming job, but... the benefits are enough to offset this small disadvantage. This is a good thing to develop your own power in an open and aboveboard manner.
As far as he knows, a large part of Gin's power is cultivated by this.
It's just that Yu Gu Miao and Bermode never get involved in such things. To put it bluntly, they take orders directly from the boss and are also the direct executors of the tasks. The more secretive work will be fully entrusted to the two of them, but such people cannot hold power tightly.
Is there something wrong, or is this Gin's instruction.
If he has his own sphere of influence, can Gin benefit from it... There are short-term benefits. After all, Gin took office later than Rum. The two of them may temporarily join forces to deal with that guy, but when Rum falls, this alliance will inevitably fall apart... Bermode is very likely to turn to himself, which is what Gin least wants to see.
How could Gin do such a thing as raising a tiger to
bring trouble to himself? If it was the intention of the gentleman above, it would be even more suspicious. Yu Gu Miao knew best that the guy had no intention of making him the heir. In other words, neither Gin nor Rum Boss would choose him. He has always wanted to research that mysterious medicine so that he can enjoy this kind of wealth and power forever.
Besides, if you really want him to cultivate his own power... at least you should give all these newcomers to him. What's the meaning of giving him only three?
Yu Gu Miao did not ask, he raised his head to meet the man's dark green eyes. An uncomfortable premonition crawled along the skin like a snake. He frowned, calmed down and cast his eyes on the three people who "belonged to him".
"Address." He asked, trying to keep his voice as cold and low as possible.
It was Scotland who reacted first. He coughed lightly and said, "C23."
It was the code name of the safe house. He remembered that a C-type safe house was... one with only two bedrooms.
"Three people?"
Yu Gu Miao couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.
As if he knew what the other party meant by asking this question, Scotland smiled awkwardly. Bourbon instantly got angry and turned around to glare at Ley, who responded not to be outdone.
Speaking of which, his friend's cat mouth is becoming more and more obvious. When he is unhappy, the corners of his mouth will obviously turn down.
"It's so troublesome," he turned around and complained to Gin, pointing at the two people who were obviously at odds with each other, "You really know how to find trouble for me."
Gin hated trouble the most, and so did he. If he saw the two of them not getting along now and didn't react, it would be strange. Anyway, no matter how he complained, Gin wouldn't give in.
"This is the boss's request."
Yu Gu Miao suddenly raised his head to look at the other person's expression. The guy still had a cold face, but the air pressure around him suddenly dropped. Even he froze for a moment. The three people at the door had already taken a defensive posture, staring at the man vigilantly and obscurely.
For the first time, he experienced the low pressure that Bermode complained about before, but he felt a sense of relief that "it's finally here."
The two of them were in a stalemate for a moment, and Gin suddenly lifted his windbreaker and reached for his waist. Seeing his action, Yugu Miu's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and he subconsciously held the bar with his arms and exerted force to flip out from between the bar and the wine rack.
"Bang--"
The sound of the gun echoed almost three times in the narrow room, and the sound of broken glass and water sounded behind him at the same time. When he landed, he closed his eyes and turned his head to the side, but the fragments of the exploded bottle still scratched his face, leaving a small red mark.
On the wine rack behind him, the Cointreau that was properly put back after mixing the glass of Baptist Redemption was shattered by the bullet. The crystal-colored, clear liquid flowed down the wine rack, and the rich aroma of wine accompanied by the natural fruity aroma of fresh fruits and sweet oranges rose in the air.
The bullet was originally aimed at the bottle.
"Are you crazy?!"
Yu Gu Miao gritted his teeth and cursed, throwing the non-toxic dagger from his sleeve while speaking, and when the blade flashed with cold light and shot straight at Gin's face, he bent his knees and attacked him.
The opponent dodged the dagger by turning his head to the side, and then blocked his attacking knee. The man's palm was wide, and his grip was so strong that it almost crushed his kneecap. If he dodged backwards
, even if he broke free from Gin's restraints, his center of gravity would be unstable and he would be in a passive position. Yu Gu Miao simply pressed his hands on the opponent's shoulders, and used his knees to flip up against his palms, landing lightly behind the man, and pulled out the dagger with his backhand, the tip of which was slightly embedded in the wall.
The man was much stronger than himself, and his ground was extremely stable. Until now, the opponent had not even moved a step, but instead flipped all the way from the bar to the sofa.
Gin was holding a wine glass in his left hand. He just used his right hand to block his knee. When he borrowed the force, that hand almost supported the weight of his whole body without shaking.
What kind of monster's physical strength is this?
Yu Gu Miao was itching with hatred for his contemptuous attitude as if teasing a cat. He could not beat him with bare hands, but it was not certain now that he had a dagger.
Gin smashed the wine glass in his hand directly at the door, "Get out."
Bourbon frowned, and seemed a little impatient to put away the gun that he had raised when the sudden change happened just now, and opened the door and walked out first.
After everyone went out, Scotland closed the door, and the three looked at each other for a while, feeling speechless.
Wasn't this a meeting with the 'boss' and task arrangement? What's going on when two 'leaders' started fighting in the middle of the meeting? Is it the corporate culture of the organization?
Scot sighed and said, "I don't know what's going on. Let's go back first."
The other two had no objection, so he tightened the guitar bag on his shoulder and walked out first. As soon as he took a step forward, he saw Bourbon making a gesture to him.
Is it some important intelligence? The code words and gestures he was taught in the organization are used. It shouldn't be intelligence from the public security department.
Thinking of this, he immediately perked up, observing silently and reciting in his mind.
Want to...eat...beef rice...
Scott:?
After gesturing this sentence, Bourbon grinned at him, and continued to gesture openly without avoiding the long-haired man behind him.
Don't... prepare it... for that... guy.
He... is not allowed to eat...
Scotland: ...
suddenly wanted to leave these two guys here and drive away.
In the lounge, the sound of pistols being loaded sounded at the same time when the door closed. After blocking the attacking blade with the body of the gun, Gin quickly changed the posture of holding the gun and attacked the man's waist with the side of the gun.
"You turned against me after drinking?" With his wrist restrained by the opponent, he could only dodge the attack in a rather wolfish posture. Yutani Miao was still sarcastic and said bluntly, "You transferred me back to Japan for no reason and asked me to monitor the newcomers without giving you a reasonable explanation?"
The silver-haired man sneered, "Cointreau. You seem to be in pain because of killing those rats?"
Gin showed a scrutinizing look, and his words were full of threats and warnings.
"I never thought that the organization's sword would become blunt one day. The boss is very unhappy about this and has suspended all your secret missions. I will be responsible for re-evaluating your value. Since there is nothing to do during the inspection period, it doesn't matter if I spend time to guide the newcomers. But in the end, the useless sword will either be thrown back to be re-sharpened, or reunited with those squeaking rats... in hell."
Yu Gu Miao's pupils shrank.
