Chapter 28: Flexible Re-employment for Organization Members
Morofushi Kagemitsu felt good after secretly swindling a criminal he had never met.
Melo also felt that this subordinate suited him well, and it was rare for him to speak to him without that teasing tone.
As she took out her phone, she asked, "How's the thing I asked you to look into coming along?"
Morofushi Kagemitsu sent the photos he took to her email.
Melo immediately began to inspect the product, and as he looked at it, he started nodding in a pretentious manner.
Before Jingguang could even probe her purpose in issuing the task, his own phone rang first:
"Thump~"
"Mello" invited "Scotland" to join the group chat "1.8 million a cup".
ah?
This is... the chat group for the codenamed members? So everyone here is a lively person and likes to watch variety shows at fixed times, right?
Morofushi Kagemitsu stared at the group name for a long time, somewhat incredulous, yet also somewhat expected.
The administrator of this group should be Melo.
If the finance team's group chat is called "I'm stealing oil for the organization," then it's not surprising that the group chat for codenamed members is called "One million eight hundred thousand a cup."
Zhu Fujingguang calmly accepted the result.
However, the organization's prestige in his mind was like a thermometer suddenly plunged into ice water—rapidly declining.
At the same time, after that inconspicuous "thump" sounded, the addition of a new member to the group was like a signal, causing every bottle of wine present to suddenly fall silent as if receiving a message from outer space. Even the two who were arguing so loudly that they were about to grab their weapons and start fighting received the signal at the same time.
Seeing that everyone had finished chatting, Gin stepped forward to maintain order:
"Quiet. Let's get down to business."
Morofushi Kagemitsu: ...Why does it seem like we're arguing just to wait for me to join the group?
Gin didn't care about his dilemma. Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, he finally revealed the purpose of today's gathering:
“I see you guys have been having too much free time lately. Well then, we’ll help the others with their ‘internal affairs’.”
Ah, the action team wants to take on outsourcing work.
Morofushi Kagemitsu automatically translated Gin's words into a language he could understand.
However, I've heard of a hero being brought down by a penny, but I've never heard of a villain being brought down by a penny.
Gin, you guys have lost all your dignity as villains!
The righteous police officer, Morifushi Kagemitsu, was very dissatisfied with their behavior of creating terrorist incidents everywhere they couldn't stay idle, and gave Meiro a resentful look as she watched the show from the sidelines.
The saying goes, "Leave a way out for others." If you drained their money for fun and ended up like this, wouldn't they start picking fights with everyone else?
He began to think about how to shut these guys up.
"Haven't we already taken care of most of the bounties on the black market?" Calvados frowned. Of course, he wouldn't refuse other ways to make money, and the organization wouldn't interfere with their taking on private jobs. But recently, the assassination market had been sluggish, and he couldn't get many jobs anymore.
“We’re not targeting those people on the surface,” Gin said coldly. “The real targets are the forces behind them.”
"Oh?! Are we going to raid their hideout?" Chianti's financial situation wasn't that bad, but he got incredibly excited when it came to things like burning, killing, and looting.
Gin nodded, and this time, unusually, he didn't speak to Chianti in a disdainful or indifferent tone: "There are a few targets."
Calvados asked with some surprise, "There are organizations like this in Tokyo?"
As Vermouth's number one sycophant, he wasn't completely empty-handed; on the contrary, he had gained some intelligence. As far as he knew, there were many underground forces in Tokyo, but none were worth a large-scale raid. If the cost of the operation exceeded the final gains, he couldn't even imagine what his year-end bonus would look like.
Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at Mello and Morofushi Kagemitsu. The two hadn't spoken yet, and their expressions were unreadable; he had no idea what their attitudes were.
"Those gangs?! Can you just start fighting them?!" Chianti asked excitedly.
“That’s right.” Gin was as sparing with his words as ever.
“Gin, it’s not worth getting involved with the local gangs.” Tequila spoke up at this moment, not because he was particularly cautious, but because he had recently had a conflict with the local gangs.
That gang had powerful backers, and they were exceptionally zealous in their pursuit of him. The organization spent a considerable amount of money to settle the matter. Because of this, he felt guilty, which is why he didn't rashly step in to remind them that Melo was the culprit behind the stock recommendation when the two were arguing.
"That's because you're too stupid." As the leader of the action team, Gin naturally knew about this. The cleanup work had really taken a lot of his effort, so he immediately glared at this clueless subordinate.
Tequila shrank back, not daring to utter another word.
Seeing that tequila had lost, the others stopped objecting.
Gin made a summary as usual and immediately decided: "Then it's settled. Specific details will be sent to your email."
Everyone looked at each other, then accepted the arrangement. No matter what, they would get the money. And who would complain about having too much money?
I think you guys have too much money.
Morofushi Kagemitsu was immediately troubled by the fact that his group had decided to attack the gang in just a few words. It wasn't out of pity for the gang members, but rather concern for the local police and public order. If the police hadn't suggested that things be peaceful in the Jingdong area for a while, he would have actually welcomed this double-crossing.
What should we do? My brother once mentioned an old Chinese proverb, "People die for wealth, birds die for food." They're doing this simply for money and excitement. But if the amount of money is limited and the action isn't exciting enough, they might not be so enthusiastic.
He took a sip of his drink and whispered to Melo, "These guys in the action group never care about 'secrecy,' and in the end, they're the ones who cause trouble and we're the ones who have to clean up the mess. We already knew about it, and if they don't control things, the boss might even take his anger out on us."
When the topic of "winning the BOSS's heart" came up, Melo was willing to give him a few more glances, watching to see what he was going to say next.
Morofushi Kagemitsu continued, "Gin summoned the two of us here not only to inform us, but also to gain our support. We should at least receive some compensation for our trouble."
Melo wholeheartedly agreed. She wanted to see these guys who kept asking her for reimbursement and robbing her money continue to be poor, so why would she let go of this opportunity to fleece them?
So she immediately told Gin, "I have no objection, just take 20%."
Morobuchi Kagemitsu then said, "Everyone who sees it gets a share; I'll take 10%."
The room fell silent again.
Moroboshi Dai moved his lips, seemingly wanting to say, "I only need half a percent," even though he had absolutely no interest in participating in the □□ activity.
Gin narrowed his eyes dangerously. If he hadn't been thinking about how he would have to deal with the finance team in the future, and how he really needed to discuss this matter with them, he would have already pulled out his gun and pointed it at these two opportunists.
Melo, in particular, remembered how this woman tricked him into investing money under the guise of the action team stabilizing the stock market to help the BOSS.
Melo, who had ruthlessly exploited Gin's unwavering loyalty to the organization, showed no remorse. Leaning back on the sofa she had personally chosen, she said, "What, don't we need to appease their boss?"
Does it really have a boss?
Morofushi Kagemitsu expressed his doubts. Given Mello's personality, if he had really found out those bosses, he would definitely be doing business with them by now, or even directly recruiting them.
However, he wouldn't deliberately undermine them at this point. Instead, he chimed in, "There's something I was planning to tell everyone tomorrow, but it's okay to reveal it now. Starting tonight, all the armories in Tokyo will be switched to dynamic passwords."
The password was in the hands of their finance team.
He didn't say it aloud, but everyone present understood the meaning behind it.
Gin reached into his trench coat pocket, looking somewhat regretful of having called Melo and Scotland over.
However, his desire to take down those gang hideouts wasn't solely driven by money. Considering the interests of various parties, he restrained himself from the urge to fire all his bullets at them.
"Can."
His tone was very cold and hard, and you could tell he was unwilling.
Melo was even more satisfied. He put down the lemonade he had barely drunk, picked up his coat, and prepared to leave.
Gin didn't stop them; he was already planning to adjourn the meeting anyway. He simply sat back down in his high chair, and the others waved their hands, as if to say, "You guys can get out of here."
"By the way, we still need to be careful not to provoke the cops," Melo added as he walked out the door.
Of course, the action team members usually ignored this instruction.
That's why you huskies are so disliked; we might as well break your legs!
