"Huh?" Gin frowned.
"You're the leader of the Japanese' area." Kurokawa Saki played with the glass in front of her and drank slowly. The taste of sake was clean and smooth, with a hint of sweetness. It was perfect for her. "If you need help, you can tell me. But I'm here for vacation and I've already finished enough missions to take a few months break."
"It's rare for you to take a break." Gin looked at Sake coldly.
"Ah, I won't be able to rise unless I bring Rum down and I have no such plan, so it's time to rest for a while." Kurokawa Saki chuckled. "I'm not a model worker like you, Gin."
"Big Brother is the best!" Vodka refuted.
"Vodka, shut up!"
Vodka immediately shut his mouth, but he still looked unconvinced.
"Gin, why do you waste so much time with this brat?" Chianti looked at Sake in confusion. She didn't recognize the other party since the last time they met was three years ago and the codename Sake was not exactly well known in Japan.
"You don't need to know." Gin sneered.
This is a person who managed to rise from a newcomer to the third in command in a mere 3 years. She was also able to kill so many people without being found out by others. Not to mention, she brought a lot of benefits to the organization. Such a short period of time… it was truly remarkable.
Kurokawa Saki shrugged and stood up. "I'll let her off this time, Gin. But you better keep your dog on the leash."
"Who are you calling dogs, you…"
Bang!
A bullet passed by Chianti's face and her movements stopped. She was not exactly staying still but was moving, yet Kurokawa Saki didn't even turn around and the bullet passed by her face. A trail of red blood formed on Chianti's cheek.
"Chianti!" Gin warned and frowned, but he didn't rebuke Sake.
Because based on the organization's rank, Sake is actually ranked higher than him if not equal. Not that Gin cared about this ranking that much, but he knew that even if Sake were to kill Chianti, the Boss would not say anything.
"I…" Chianti wanted to refute that it was the other party's fault, but she saw Gin's gaze and fell into silence.
She bit her lip unwillingly.
Beside her, Cohen was looking in Sake's direction, feeling that this person should be of high rank in the organization. Otherwise, Gin would have fought Sake directly.
"See you later, Gin~."
Kurokawa Saki walked out of the bar leisurely, leaving the other behind, not knowing what to do.
"Big Brother, he's…?" Vodka asked with some hesitation.
"Someone you can't afford to offend." Gin puffed the smoke and sneered. "Take a detour when you see him next. He has the right to kill you. And that madman wouldn't care about the consequences if you offend him."
Hearing this, everyone took a sharp breath and agreed on the surface.
Outside the bar, Kurokawa Saki breathed a sigh of relief
[Ding! No. 1's impromptu performance in front of the group of real wine is excellent. Congratulations for earning the title, "Scary Madman" You have obtained the score of 90 in this performance and received 90 fun points]
Kurokawa Saki: "..." no, don't joke around and give me another useless title!
The people who were still arguing for hours with no. 8 because of Miyano Akemi's death, immediately fell into silence.
[Megumi Aiko [4]: No. 5, I think with no. 1 here, even if he's in the mainline, the acting is so perfect that even a group of real wines are fooled
High School Student [2]: Real wine, so is it Gin, Vodka, Chianti, Cohen, and Calvados?
Serial Killer [3]: No. 1 I seriously think we need to exchange IDs.
Artist [11]: No. 7, don't lose to no. 1 and showcase your best acting skills in front of your colleagues!
Undercover Agent from Metropolitan Public Security [7]: …No, I don't want to die.
Public Security Officer [5]: …No 1, who did you offend again?
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: ?
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: I just behaved as I usually did in the past 3 years. The system told me there's no title before because there's no fun points yet.
High School Student [2]: 666
Serial Killer [3]: Amazing. I don't understand how they hadn't killed you yet if you're even being dubbed as a madman
Megumi Aiko [4]: Is it because you're useful?
Public Security Officer [5]: Keep up the good work and please don't kill yourself.
ICPO Undercover Agent in Winery[1]: Don't worry, I don't want to die yet.
Serial Killer [3]: Back to the topic, how about if I go to the US and kill no. 8 first?
Artist [11]: … Do you want to die?]
…
Kurokawa Saki saw that the conversation had diverted and sighed in relief. She didn't want to brag in front of them nor tell them that in fact, her status had become higher than Gin…
*cough*
Of course, she didn't achieve this through drugs like Vermouth but because of her own capabilities. With her ability to control the lines in various countries in Europe and providing 'benefits' to the organization, they were willing to give her such a high position.
For now, these lines remained untouched and there were even many undercover agents slipped in to maintain it.
When it's time… these lines will be destroyed and all the remaining people will be caught.
Kurokawa Saki's contact agent, Karin, had just finished her business in the US when she heard that Kurokawa Saki had another mission in Osaka.
She could only bite the bullet and flew back again.
"Karin, I think you will be bald if this continues." The member of the team, Minoru, has been in the team for three years and deeply felt that their undercover agent is inhuman.
Many times, even without their support, Kurokawa Saki would have finished faking the person's death and all they had to do was to negotiate with the other party. Moreover, there might be a few people who were deemed dead by the organization whom Kurokawa Saki saved each time.
Of course, Kurokawa Saki didn't always succeed.
And they all also knew that.
But so far, there were already thousands of people whom she had saved all over the world.
Along with these people were a wealth of information that they possessed.
But none of them were fatal so far.
It was frustrating.
Thankfully, their undercover agent was basically the one controlling many areas in the organization. Once the order was given, a lot of people will be caught and the resources there could be seized.
They just look glorious on the surface but Interpol has already emptied many places with the local official forces.
It was just that in the eyes of the organization, they were Hikari Yuki's territory.
"It's fine." Karin took a deep breath and then met with Hattori Heizo. He's the superintendent supervisor in Osaka and basically the person with the highest rank in this prefecture.
"Welcome, Officer Karin." Hattori Heizo nodded at Karin and welcomed the other party to sit down. "I have received the cooperation message and I would like to know how many witness protection plans I need to prepare?"
"Thank you, Superintendent Heizo. For now, it's just one. We have already brought him up and need your help to interrogate him. As long as he cooperates, the witness protection plan could be activated," Karin replied.
"No problem. Will it be the same as the term that had been discussed in the call?"
"Yes." Karin nodded. "I still have to go again after this."
On her way here, Kurokawa Saki sent her information about the laboratory and asked her to let the Osaka police try to check carefully. If it's not possible, they could also send the Interpol themselves to deal with this matter.
Kurokawa Saki didn't care that much.
What she hoped was confidentiality and so on.
"I have prepared the team to investigate, but the place has been burned down."
Karin nodded, not too surprised.
Kurokawa Saki always reminded her that there's a chance the laboratory would have been destroyed, so she was more or less prepared.
"It's fine, try to salvage as many things as possible," Karin replied.
"I got it." Hattori Heizo could see that this matter is extremely serious. The public security approached him and asked him to cooperate with the Interpol.
It seemed that the other side had cooperated for a long time.
He might not have a chance to play much, but if he could help, then he will do his best.
