Chapter 91 focuses on a non-stick pan.
Even if it's not our finance team, it can't be zero!
[Anti-Fraud Guru #66: Uh, this...]
[Anti-fraud expert #19: It's not Zero's fault, it's not our fault, it's all Gin's fault!]
[Anti-fraud expert #214: Yes, yes, they were tricked by our absolutely brilliant plan, so they broke down and could only vent their anger on an innocent, weak, and pitiful person (zero: ?)!]
[Anti-fraud expert #26: Wow, Gin really is a sore loser!]
Anti-fraud King's series of perfectly synchronized comedic defenses left Morofushi Kagemitsu speechless.
Everything was arranged perfectly. He used the excuse of finding a new mission for Black Guest to discuss with Zero how to set a trap for the Irish guy. Then, he quietly began to prepare evidence to expose the guy.
When the billboard underwent subtle changes right under Ireland's nose, the guy indeed became less concerned. Under the watchful eye of the anti-fraud officer, he merely squinted at the unfamiliar logo for a few seconds before falling asleep.
The next day, he slept in and then calmly inquired about the status of the Ministry of Commerce's advertising through ordinary channels.
[Anti-fraud expert #198: He wasn't even using the emergency channel.]
[Anti-fraud expert #148: The organization said to remain silent, and it seems he's the only one who listened. Is he just too obedient, or is he just missing a screw in his head?]
The two made such a sharp comment.
However, his demeanor suited Morofushi Kagemitsu's wishes perfectly, since Ireland couldn't escape the blame for his passive resistance.
The day it officially started—early yesterday morning—was a quiet night. Those who needed to stay up late did so, those who needed to complete tasks did so, and Black Guest was enjoying a peaceful atmosphere. Headquarters was having a massive overtime effort, and the electricity bill still couldn't be reduced. The entire building was brightly lit; without any warning or hesitation, the night raid occurred.
As the saying goes, one's own negligence is the enemy's weakness. Shengtian's headquarters had no defenses at all. A few fierce waves of the data sea crashed over it and half of the firewall was shattered. The remaining ruins struggled to hold on, but in the end, they were outnumbered and lost to the indirect attacks of numerous hackers.
Meanwhile, the anti-fraud team had already begun to quietly erode the defense system at the Tottori Laboratory. Although fate had given them an eggshell, with the anti-fraud team's computing power, memorizing the extremely complex defense procedures inside the laboratory was a piece of cake.
[Anti-fraud expert #205: When we're finally able to take action against the organization, a simple poke will suffice.]
[Anti-fraud expert #198: Before leaving, I grabbed some lab records. I'll tell you what they are after I finish researching them.]
Professionals are reliable.
Incidentally, after the online army withdrew, the anti-fraud team suddenly had a brilliant idea and pulled out a dirty trick they had "learned" from the police—they interfered with the head office's power supply system and directly shut off their electricity! With the police secretly pulling the strings behind the scenes, they successfully delayed the rescue time for a group of technicians who had been pulled in for emergency overtime work.
On such a chaotic night, how could the organization not be alerted?
So, Morofushi Kagemitsu estimated that the time was about right, so he pretended to send the approved expense report for this month to Melo for a look. He then "incidentally" discovered that something was wrong with the head office's internal system. He leisurely waited until the police were about to finish up before reporting to Melo.
After being delayed for so long, it's not hard to imagine what the scene will be like when the news reaches Gin.
"Gin is furious right now and is about to arrest someone."
As soon as Gin got angry, Furuya Rei called Morofushi Kagemitsu. "He's on his way to Toriko now, but there are no trains running at this hour, so he'll have to suffer with vodka."
There was a hint of schadenfreude in his tone—back then, Vodka, in order to maintain his position as his boss's personal driver, hadn't given Scotland a friendly look for a while. As a result, Bourbon, lurking in the shadows, held a grudge.
Okay, let's get back to the main topic.
In short, the anti-fraud team returned with a full load, not only obtaining the information they wanted but also successfully annoying the company and disrupting its operations.
Meanwhile, at the company, there was a clever guy among the higher-ups who initially thought the power outage had caused the chaos of working overtime, and he almost went to Tokyo Electric Power Company to complain while heavily pregnant.
The power company felt wronged. While they could be quite inhumane most of the time, they were a principled national enterprise. Especially when dealing with a powerful and well-connected company like Shengtian, they always treated them politely and would occasionally cut off the power, just like they would any other innocent civilian.
The high-ranking officials who shared the same mindset as the capitalists believed this claim.
Since it wasn't caused by the power company, it must have been caused by human error, which makes the situation very serious.
"This is absolutely a malicious declaration of war against the company!"
Come on, let's have an emergency high-level meeting.
"By the way, is it still possible to contact Master Matsuno?! If so, please invite him over as soon as possible; his predictions are incredibly accurate."
[Anti-Fraud Guru #66: Hahahaha!]
Morofushi Kagemitsu feigned a cough, suppressing the upward curve of his lips.
The company held an emergency meeting, and the loyal henchmen naturally didn't get away unscathed.
At times like this, Gin would remember that his chauffeur Vodka, who always drove for him, was also a skilled hacker.
So, the first thing Gin did after arriving at the temporary base in Tottori was to order Vodka, who had been working through the night for several hours, to continue working and to make sure that these audacious hackers were caught!
Exhausted Vodka: ...
He didn't dare to resist at all, so he habitually complied, took out his notebook, and started typing.
At this point, Morofushi Kagemitsu had already finished pleading with Mello and was preparing to join forces to trick Ireland afterward. Seeing that he could not only extort money from someone but also watch the show for free, Mello made a call to Gin, successfully dragging Ireland into the war as well.
Oh, and we can't forget Bourbon, who deliberately arrived a little late. He subtly used Ireland to put down Gin, otherwise Gin wouldn't have gotten so worked up.
[Anti-fraud King No. 11: ...So, if Zero hadn't been trying to discredit Gin, he wouldn't have gotten angry at him.]
Zero's move was a strategic provocation, and it involved a lot of technical skill. Look at Ireland, they've got into a fight with Gin, haven't they?
[Anti-Fraud Guru #11: ...]
[Anti-fraud expert #214: ...Never mind, at least Ireland and Gin have successfully created a conflict.]
Yes, let's just keep going on like this, with the information gap and misunderstandings between us.
Ireland must have felt extremely aggrieved at that time, being condemned by everyone.
Zhu Fujingguang felt as if he had finally avenged a great enemy.
After all, only the person who wronged you knows how aggrieved you are. Being wronged for no reason is not a good feeling at all.
Ha! Pay the price for my reputation, Ireland!
The two bottles of wine were arguing heatedly when Rum opportunely delivered the clues that Morofushi Hiromitsu and his group had prepared in advance:
[The Japanese Public Security Bureau has just concluded a special operation, suspected to be related to this matter. — RUM]
Rei Furuya showed the text message containing rum to the several bottles of wine present.
Gin's gaze toward Ireland grew even colder; he probably already considered this guy an ungrateful rat.
Having worked with Gin for so long, how could Ireland not understand the meaning in this guy's eyes?
So he quickly retorted, "The cops have nothing to do with me. If I had known they would cause trouble, I wouldn't have left such a big loophole!"
Gin remained expressionless, his gaze still cold.
Another Irish hacker website has surfaced: "The Black Guest has posted some sporadic cyberattacks, so they might have been involved in some of them."
"Since you noticed it, why didn't you report it?" Gin raised his gun and pointed it at Ireland. "Bourbon and Scotland, who were with you in Tottori, both reported it."
Ireland was speechless for a moment. At the time, the IP address of the mission target did not involve the organization, so he was in no hurry to report it. He did not expect that this would give the organization a handle to use against him.
Gin pointed the gun at the computer next to him: "Investigate now."
Vodka then very consciously put down his laptop and switched to a more powerful machine.
This investigation led to the part that made Gin grit his teeth.
Rei Furuya happened to be standing not far away and was caught in the crossfire of the rage.
Then he began his non-stick pan speech: "This is not something our intelligence team wanted to see happen. The main reason for this incident is that our network technology is not reliable enough, and the hackers on the other side managed to deceive us. No matter how capable our intelligence team is, we can't possibly trace the network cable back to them."
Then, he glanced at Ireland, seemingly casually, and said, "Of course, if someone is perceptive enough and willing to provide some clues, our intelligence team will do everything in our power to remove obstacles for the organization, no matter how difficult the situation."
Ireland realized that the words were directed at him and was about to retort when he was interrupted by a ringing phone.
It was a video call from Pisco to Gin.
[Anti-Fraud Guru #19: Reinforcements have arrived. The timing is about right.]
Pisco did indeed come to Ireland's rescue. This seasoned businessman was adept at playing the game, and Gin, who was always straightforward and ready to fight, was no match for him in this regard.
However, this is when the benefits of sticking together become apparent. Melo, who had been watching the scene unfold, chimed in with a few words, then subtly hinted to Morofushi Kagemitsu to "take over," thus "avenging" his own reputation. Morofushi Kagemitsu readily agreed, not forgetting to use his authority within the finance team.
After this series of "maneuvering," neither side gained any advantage and both hung up the phone in anger. The conversation continued to revolve around the police and the Black Guest, without any new breakthroughs.
[Anti-fraud expert #205: As with previous data, Pisco is going to have to clean up Ireland's mess again.]
[Anti-fraud expert #66: It's a pity we couldn't make them completely break ties this time.]
No rush. Feelings, like patience, can be worn down over time. If a few more things like this happen, I don't believe Pisco won't mind.
Morofushi Kagemitsu silently withdrew from the argument, already thinking about the future of Akiyama Nao and No. 66's mysterious antics.
