After the annex was destroyed by fire, Rum quickly moved to a new address.
Compared to the Annex Manor, which occupies a large area in the suburbs, the scale here is undoubtedly much smaller.
However, thinking on the bright side, at least now Rum no longer has to worry about someone coming to his door and yelling at him to kill him.
"Peng!"
Shinobu became more and more angry as he thought about it. Sitting in the new study room, Rum picked up the vase decorated on the corner of the table and smashed it on the ground.
The ceramic instantly shattered all over the floor, and the debris flew out with the impact.
Hearing this movement, Curaçao, who was standing at the door, remained silent, not daring to make a sound for fear of touching Rum's brow.
I don’t know what the Brandy guy did. After the fire in Curacao, when facing Rum, I always felt a suspicious look falling on me from time to time.
This is not right.
She knew that even if she revealed her recruitment to Rum, she would be suspected, but it wouldn't be that serious.
Rather than caring about whether her subordinate was really betraying him, Rum should be more focused on revenge against Brandy.
The front foot just hoped that she would become a spy under Brandy, but now she seems to be really examining herself to see if she is really betraying?
When Gin and others raided the Rum Villa, Curacao was not there. She was in charge of the overall situation in Cairo.
Tequila was seriously injured, but Ireland, who was not seriously injured, went to fight Akai Shuichi in a one-on-one fight, which ended badly.
Shuichi Akai suffered minor injuries. Ireland suffered three broken ribs and a fractured leg bone. It is difficult to estimate the size of the injuries on his body. He was basically unable to move when he was recovered by the medical team.
Although there are other subordinates, only those few can take the lead, so even if Curacao is suspected of betrayal, she still continues to preside over the main affairs of this branch.
And in this way, it will be easier to confuse Brandy, making him mistakenly believe that Rum does not know that Curacao has leaked information, and continue to promote his recruitment.
Under these conditions, Curacao did not appear at the scene in the annex, and naturally did not see the reason why Rum was suspicious of her.
For people like Rum, although they are older, they are no less arrogant than young people.
Getting him to accept that it was his own mistake that caused the enemy to rush all the way to his lair was almost as difficult as climbing to the sky.
In this way, he who directly excluded the correct answer naturally turned his attention to the subordinates who knew the situation where he was, and focused on reviewing those who had recently come to report on their work.
Among the cadres, Curacao stood out.
What's more, Curacao has a common characteristic with Brandy, which Asakura Shin also summarized for him before.
That is because Rum saved Curaçao, who was about to be executed, from Belmod and was kind to her.
The human species has a strong ability to empathize. For example, people always have a favorable impression of people who have similar experiences and origins to themselves, and they will also have a bad impression of people who are similar to those they hate.
Rum hates Brandy, and he is also kind to Brandy. Brandy now extends an olive branch to Curacao, and he also has life-saving grace for Curacao.
After such a connection, Rum really began to dislike Curaçao.
The hateful house and the ruins belong to it.
Suspicion is like a double-edged sword for the superior.
Since ancient times, there has been a principle of trusting people and not using them.
When Rum looked at Curacao with suspicion, he made an unfortunate mistake.
In other words, an impatient and suspicious person will make such a mistake sooner or later.
Rum looked at the broken ceramic vase on the ground, and the raging anger in his chest temporarily calmed down.
He stood up and walked around a few times, walked to the window and looked out at the small garden. He suppressed his emotions and said: "In the past few days, you should hand over the matters at hand to Tequila, and then... go and investigate the surname Akai." .”
…
Private airport.
Asakura Makoto, Gin, and Vodka were sitting on the plane waiting to take off.
The five cadres who came to Cairo, Rye and Bourbon, applied for visas with legal status. When they returned, they could only go back the same way.
The Brandy three came in disguise, and the only way to return to the island country after quitting their disguises was to sneak across.
Fortunately, the organization is also somewhat powerful in Europe, and there are still a few convenient means of transportation such as private jets.
After crossing the Mediterranean, the three of them plus a large suitcase boarded a plane to Sicily.
"It's almost time for our young lady to come out and get some air."
The flight attendants on this plane are all members of the organization as a matter of course. Apart from their code names and strength, their loyalty is no different than alcohol.
Asakura Makoto put the large suitcase he was carrying on the ground and opened it, revealing the trembling Koizumi Anko inside.
As for the witch, he didn't dare to let her walk around carelessly. It might be the best way to deal with it by gagging her mouth and tying her hands to prevent any escape.
After passing through the bumps of the Mediterranean Sea, this young lady who would occasionally look at Asakura fiercely when she was out of touch now did not dare to look at anyone in the eyes.
The whole thing is that I am a fake witch, I learned fake magic, and this world is a fake state of escapism.
It will feel like this. Although Harry Potter has not yet been born in this era, we can still make an analogy, that is, Voldemort, who was just starting out and was about to do something big, was pinned down and beaten by Muggles as soon as he started to act, without even the slightest resistance. ability.
This blow to the soul is really harmful.
First of all, I would like to state that apart from the excessive stuffing of the suitcase, Asakura has no other abusive behavior. His three meals a day are local delicacies of high quality and quantity.
The suitcase has enough space, it is covered with expensive velvet, and there is no problem with air circulation. From a technical point of view, it is even much more advanced than the suitcase that Kuroba Kaito used to smuggle Conan out of the country.
The riding experience is absolutely guaranteed.
However, as a user, Koizumi Hongzi didn't appreciate it.
"What are you going to do with her?"
The people at the scene were all outlaws, and no one sympathized with Koizumi Hongzi's situation.
"According to BOSS, first confirm whether Pandora exists."
Along the way, the news of the capture of the magician had naturally been reported to BOSS, and the reply was no surprise. After confirming the authenticity of the news——
BOSS's attention fell on longevity. He once thought that his colleagues next door who were chasing Pandora were idiots - even though he immediately looked through all the gems in his collection after learning the news.
Now he only thinks that idiots are idiots, and from now on, the organization will also put the search for Pandora's Stone on its agenda.
"Here, give this young lady a glass of fresh orange juice."
After helping Koizumi Anko sit down in her seat, Asakura said hello to the flight attendant.
Then, he looked at Miss Witch who was holding back tears because she couldn't shed tears, and he couldn't help but feel something in his heart... Unfortunately, our brandy has too high an alcohol concentration, so there is no room for emotions like pity and sympathy.
Now he just feels that it would be difficult to get information from the other person's mouth after bullying him like this.
