In the end, Curacao did not choose to continue hiding it.
Compared to Brandy adding fuel to the fire in front of Rum in the future, now he can at least decide what to reveal by himself.
She made a calculation in her mind and said that she was recruited by Brandy. It did not mean that she had really turned to Brandy's side, but if Rum knew about it from Brandy, then her feelings towards Rum would be greatly affected. Concealing the behavior is a sure thing.
Rum is suspicious and hates Brandy especially. When he knows in advance that Curaçao is being recruited by the latter, and then learns about it from Brandy, although he will doubt Curaçao's loyalty, he is more likely to be loyal to Curaçao. There is suspicion that Brandy is using a divorce plan.
In this way, her situation will be much more comfortable.
As for why she didn't explain this to Rum from the beginning, it was because she didn't expect that Brandy would have time to record in such an unexpected situation.
She did not just go to Sindora Company casually. During the background check before the operation, she had no connection with the organization. Who knew that this company would be taken over by Brandy in such a short period of time and that it could control her? Come and set a trap.
Of course, if she had been captured directly at that time, she might have been more vigilant, but as a result, she escaped successfully.
A man who was so famous in the organization that his boss was intimidated by his power actually allowed him to escape under his nose.
Faced with this situation, Curacao did not dare to think that he was strong, but decided that this was just an unexpected incident. Brandy's pursuit of her was most likely an accidental arrangement made after conquering Sindora Company.
After all - if you have the time to plant bugs, why not find a few more people to arrange the escape route, seal her tightly and take her back to educate her.
At this moment, she believed that she was not someone who could withstand torture for Rum. If she wanted to recruit him, she would just go back and torture him. She would give in after a few symbolic resistances.
In short, after careful reasoning, she felt that her meeting with Brandy in the United States was just a coincidence. Even if she said something tantamount to betrayal, there would be no clue.
As for Brandy's family's words without any evidence, Rum would not believe it.
But now, Curacao really didn't expect that this guy didn't weave a siege net, but was fully prepared for such despicable means as recording.
"You mean, you were captured before, and then you pretended to accept his solicitation, and then you were released by him to inform you?"
Yes, this is the rhetoric given by Curacao.
Brandy did recruit her, and she did agree to Brandy's solicitation, but there was no time in the recording. When the time came, Brandy said it was a previous recording, and she insisted that it was the result of being captured this time.
It’s impossible for Rum to not trust his men and instead listen to the enemy’s lies, right?
"Yes."
Although he had clearly thought about the possible results, Curacao was still a little afraid when facing Rum, and there was a subtle tremor in his voice.
"Are you scared?"
Rum's voice came from the shadows and hit Curacao's heart accurately.
"No..." She wanted to retort, but she swallowed her words as soon as she left her mouth. She bent down and made a ninety-degree bow, and then changed her words and answered in awe, "Yes, of course I wanted to escape. I’m so sorry for accepting Brandy’s solicitation!”
After the words fell, the atmosphere in the room became very quiet.
Once the second in command of the organization and a leader among the cadres, Rum's killing intent and momentum were astonishing.
Curacao could feel that the man in the darkness was examining her actions, and his cold eyes fell on her, making her body go cold involuntarily.
In addition to this familiar feeling of horror, she inexplicably felt something different from usual.
It seems that she is more comfortable facing this situation now than before. Compared with rum, brandy seems to put more pressure on her.
"do not mind."
After a while, Rum's voice came.
"If Brandy really uses this matter to drive a wedge between me as you said, then I will create opportunities for you."
He could show his doubts about Curaçao and then send him to the island country's headquarters. First, he could get information about Brandy at close range. If that failed, he could also make arrangements for his return in advance.
"...Do you want me to go undercover next to him?" Curacao was not slow in thinking and thought of this possibility almost instantly.
"That's if he actually acts like that."
He couldn't force the placement of undercover agents. Rather than letting Curacao directly accept Brandy's invitation, he felt it was safer to let Brandy save Curacao from the killing situation.
...
At night, the moon and stars are sparse.
The soft and bright moonlight covered the city of Cairo with silver, and it had a wide field of vision without affecting the sight at all.
Asakura stood on the open-air balcony, looking at the outline of the city in the distance.
"The weather tonight is not suitable for going out to kill people."
Although he sighed like this, Asakura Makoto didn't take this matter to heart. He was not the one who made a lot of noise when flying a helicopter. Gin could just let Gin solve the obvious problems by himself.
All he has to do is to wrap things up at about the right time.
"Bourbon."
After returning from watching the scenery, he ordered Toru Amuro, who was taking a nap on the edge of the sofa, "Get ready to drive. Let's go greet that guy."
Toru Amuro opened her eyes, nodded and prepared to drive in the garage.
While he was acting, gunshots were heard outside. Hearing the sound, his body flashed and he hid sideways behind a decorative cabinet.
"It's okay, we're one of our own."
Asakura closed the curtains casually, walked into the living room with his back turned, and walked towards the garage.
After that, there were several more gunshots, and then everything calmed down.
"This is?"
After sitting in the driver's seat, Toru Amuro adjusted the angle of the seat and asked while starting the engine.
"So, why do you think I asked you to find those supernatural phenomena?"
After learning from Gin that Rum had also searched for traces of magic, Asakura Makoto knew that Rum's eyes were around things related to magic, and he let Bourbon hang out in front of them in order to attract attention and make it logical. Discover what's going on around Bourbon, and this common man who appears to be Brandy.
Rum is very cunning and cannot let others know nothing about his lair. During the operation, his attention to Akai Shuichi is limited to letting gangsters and others use firepower to contain him. In fact, he is always on guard against hidden enemies.
In his caution, Gin's investigation was difficult to make progress. Faced with this situation, Gin's choice was simple, that is, to move Brandy, the hatred of Rum, from the island country and hang a fishhook.
Asakura really knew this and happily came to serve as the bait.
When Rum noticed Brandy, the manpower and material resources were naturally transferred to Brandy, and the precautions against Gin became much lighter.
And this level of relaxation was enough for Gin to find out Rum's location and prepare to give him a huge surprise.
