Elevator door.
Curacao watched the numbers on the elevator indicator slowly increase, and his mood gradually became irritable.
Her previous promise was just a last resort, and she didn't really want to betray Rum's life-saving grace.
A few years ago, Curaçao discovered something that was very detrimental to the organization by chance. Due to the need for confidentiality, Belmode decided to execute her.
At this time, Rum felt that her ability was worth using, so he rescued her from Belmod.
Although it is ironic to talk about kindness in the organization, her loyalty to Rum is indeed closely related to it.
Curacao calmly observed the actions of Brandy beside him.
Asakura's attention stayed on the mobile phone in his hand, as if he was sending an email with someone, and his eyes would move away from the mobile phone screen every few seconds to monitor the movements of Curacao.
Curacao's eyes moved to the safe passage not far from the elevator. The normally closed fire door was particularly conspicuous. As long as she could run in there, escape would not be a problem.
It's just... She deduced based on her own speed and Asakura's reaction - if she couldn't escape, she wouldn't be fast enough, and she would be hit and killed by a bullet fired from behind in the middle of the run.
If anything could catch his attention...
Curaçao's body seemed relaxed, but in fact his tense mind was searching for possible escape routes all the time.
Just when she was almost at her wits end, it was as if a god appeared.
Asakura's mobile phone rang, and someone dialed his number.
"at this time?"
She saw that when he received the call, Brandy's eyebrows frowned slightly, indicating that the call was not within the scope of his expectations.
"Belmod, what's going on?"
This name... Curacao thought of the woman with the same silver hair who was going to execute him.
An illusion of fateful reincarnation arose in her mind. At that time, you wanted to kill me, but now you saved my life in a sense.
While Brandy was communicating on the phone, Curacao suddenly exploded.
With a "hiss" sound, a slit opened on the side of the hip-covering short skirt underneath her body, freeing her legs from it.
What happened at the same time as this sound was that her right leg was lifted up in the air and turned into an arc, lashing towards Brandy like a whip.
Asakura was unable to dodge this sudden attack, so he could only hold his phone and raise his arms to protect his head and chest.
"Bang——"
Huge power suddenly erupted at the point of contact. Curacao pulled out with all his strength, and Asakura responded hastily. This time, the latter was actually beaten and staggered back two steps.
And when he stood firm and was about to draw his gun, his forearm that was kicked was so numb that he almost couldn't hold the gun steady.
This scene was naturally seen by Curaçao, who was rushing towards the safe passage. At this moment, she was certain in her heart and moved a little faster with her feet.
When Asakura took out her gun and prepared to shoot, her figure had already disappeared behind the fire door of the safe passage.
Seeing her disappear, Asakura chased a few more steps, opened the closed fire door, and stuck his head out to check.
There was nothing in the empty fire staircase. Only the sound of high heels rushing down the stairs still echoed. After a while, it seemed that Curacao noticed that the footsteps were too loud and took off his shoes, and the sound disappeared.
In this situation, Asakura closed the normally closed door angrily, and the heavy fire door made a loud noise, indicating his unhappiness.
And hearing this voice, Curaçao let out a sigh of relief as he walked away.
However……
After closing the door, Asakura whistled briskly and picked up the phone... Judging from his actions, it looked like he was suddenly attacked and then failed to cope with it.
The numbness in his arms that he showed just now was simply his acting skills that followed the trend.
"What just happened?"
Belmode heard what happened here on the other end of the phone and asked curiously.
"Because of your call, Rum's men escaped from me."
Asakura answered in an indifferent tone, turned around and walked towards the chairman's office.
"What...what do you want to do again?" Belmode was even more curious. She didn't make this call out of intention. After getting the Webb family's credit card, she was consuming it as if she was taking revenge on brandy, filling her shopping cart. A small gift for Suzuki Sonoko and Maori Ran.
As for Miyano Akemi, due to the need to perform, she still endured her dissatisfaction and bought some suitable gifts despite going against her conscience.
After all, Naomi Koyama’s character design, how could she not bring souvenirs to her friends on a business trip?
And just when she was carefully selecting, Asakura sent an email and asked her to make a call immediately.
"You still remember Rum's character, right?" Asakura Makoto said to Belmode, "He is impatient and suspicious."
"These two personalities... are not a good match."
"oh?"
"Just wait and see, a good show is about to take place."
After finishing speaking, Asakura hung up the phone and walked into the chairman's office.
Thomas, who was covered in wounds, still stood there, waiting for Brandy's return.
"You know I'm coming back?"
Asakura raised his eyebrows, walked to the desk, pulled off the tape and put it into his pocket.
"You didn't take anything away, so I know you will be back soon."
"Yes, you have some ability. From now on, you will still be in charge of this company. No one will care about Jack the Ripper."
"Even if you are exposed, there may be many more fans who will flock to you than those who will come to trouble you."
Sometimes, Asakura Makoto... really can't understand the brain circuits of these people. Many of them will worship a murderer who is responsible for several lives. Autobiography makes big money.
In the face of this phenomenon, the emergence of a descendant of the mysterious Ripper, who has been popular for hundreds of years and has been adapted from various literary works and is still an unsolved mystery, will lead to what kind of phenomenon... You can imagine what kind of phenomenon will occur.
But after saying this, Thomas still couldn't believe that he had hidden this secret for so long and would not change his attitude just because of Asakura Shin's two or three words.
"I hope so." He sighed.
Regarding his attitude, Asakura didn't care so much. It was his own choice. As long as Thomas worked hard and didn't live up to his expectations, that was enough.
After putting away the things that should be collected, Asakura looked at Thomas aside.
The next thing to do is very simple. After receiving the jewelry box from Sindora Company, it is natural to take a look at the most dazzling gem in the box.
Hiroki Sawada, one of the most scientific people in the scientific world, a person who single-handedly created intelligent life, is suspected of being reborn as Noah's Ark after death, a true genius who has achieved data immortality in disguise.
