Conan World: Break Free from Fate and Run to You

Chapter 296 I refuse

The world fell into a brief silence, and everyone's eyes turned to Rum.

Only Rum has the highest status here, and the series of words just said, such as "too arrogant" and "unworthy of the position", are almost directed at Rum.

This, this, this, are you no longer going to pretend?

Suddenly everyone became a little nervous.

Rum and Karasuma Renye are the two people with the highest say in the organization. One is the top leader and the other is the second-in-command. They both have a lot of supporters.

Of course, the number of votes from Karasuma Renya's supporters is definitely far ahead.

But no one expected that they would turn against each other in such a situation.

Well, it’s not really a falling out.

But this tense atmosphere was really no different from a falling out in everyone's eyes. When generals fight, the soldiers suffer. The atmosphere between the two was tense, and everyone else just kept quiet and played dumb.

However, this time, Rum was indeed in the wrong.

"It was indeed my negligence. I didn't expect Bai Zhi to join forces with Kaito Kidd." Rum looked grim, but he had to admit his mistake: "And they must have used some very strange magic..."

【This is your mistake, don't make excuses. 】

[I will not pursue your behavior of conducting experiments privately for the time being. You actually put all such important data together. Don’t you know that you shouldn’t put all your eggs in one basket? ]

"Yes, I'm sorry." Rum admitted his mistake immediately.

This time, he really had no way to defend himself. Not only did Bai Zhi steal all the important data, but she also deliberately left traces. It was obvious that she was provoking them!

But Baizhi slapped him hard, and Rum couldn't even talk back. Rum gritted his teeth and said that if they met again, he would tear Baizhi into pieces.

[In short, we will split our forces into two groups and evacuate all important personnel and important secrets from Japan. We need to change our base as soon as possible.]

[As long as we keep our roots, we can make a comeback. Every second of hesitation now will be disadvantageous to us.]

【Also, there are traitors among us. 】

Suddenly, everyone gasped.

All those gathered here are people who are highly trusted and hold important positions. If there are traitors among them, it will undoubtedly make the situation worse at this critical moment.

"By the way, where's Vodka?" Amuro Toru whispered to Vermouth, asking a question with the answer in mind: "Why don't I see Vodka and Kir?"

Although he and Rena Mizunashi often did not carry out missions together, it had been a long time since he last saw her, which made Toru Amuro feel a little strange.

As for vodka.

Sometimes he still has to pretend. After all, he is far away in London, how can he get the news here?

"Kil is missing and we can't contact her now. We are wondering whether she met with an accident or was betrayed." Vermouth whispered: "As for Vodka... he is dead."

"...dead?" Amuro Toru pretended to be surprised: "Are you kidding?"

"You may not believe it, but he was killed by a magician." Vermouth didn't know how to explain: "And...if you want to team up with Gin, you'd better be careful."

Amuro: “Why?”

"The vodka was experimented on. I don't know what it was specifically, but the gin's condition has always been wrong. I suspect the rum stimulated the gin," said Vermouth.

"So, you suspect that Gin might betray you?" Amuro Toru raised his eyebrows.

"Who knows? The organization is not at peace right now." Vermouth pinched the bridge of his nose, a trace of fatigue and irritability between his brows: "In the final analysis, it is impossible for people to live in this world without caring about anything."

Toru Amuro held his chin, thinking.

【Bourbon? 】

When Karasuma Renya's voice sounded, Amuro Toru reacted immediately.

Amuro Toru: “Yes.”

[You and Gin take a car to Area A to pick up the organization's senior and secret personnel. ]

A man in black came up with a few tickets and took out one and handed it to Toru Amuro.

[The fake identity has been prepared, all itineraries are kept secret, Vermouth is going...]

Amuro: “I refuse.”

【? 】

Everyone looked at Amuro Toru. They didn't expect that Amuro Toru would be so disrespectful to Karasuma Renya.

"I don't want to be with a dangerous person who keeps causing trouble for me. It's really troublesome." Amuro Toru crossed his arms, looking dissatisfied: "When you threw Baizhi to me, Gin caused me a lot of trouble. I'm not so magnanimous."

【…】

This seems to be the case.

When Gin first suspected Baizhi, it caused quite a stir. Toru Amuro and Vermouth were so annoyed that they complained twice. Although they knew that it was Rum who used Gin as a gun, the fact was that many things were done by Gin.

[Then you and Vermouth go to Area H to get the confidential information.] Karasuma Renye changed his tone and said, [Cohen, Chianti, you guys wait and see. We won't be using snipers this time. You guys evacuate directly to the port and wait to reunite before leaving Japan.]

Anyway, both things have to be done, and they are both important things. It doesn’t matter who teams up with whom or which team goes where.

Even though there is a traitor now, they can only take one step at a time. Accidents happen frequently now. In addition to the difficult accidents faced by the police, what scares Karasuma Renya the most is that the zoo was destroyed overnight.

The zoo and the winery are equally powerful organizations and are in competition with each other. The zoo's top executives, those who have the most say, were engulfed in a huge explosion. The organization without its leader became like a headless fly, and like a building that has lost its foundation, it collapsed almost in an instant.

Karasuma Renya had a bad feeling.

The others had no objection. Vermouth could team up with anyone, and this time, she would indeed prefer to team up with Toru Amuro.

As for Gin, after getting the ticket, he suddenly received a text message from Karasuma Renya.

[Rum's experiment was conducted behind my back. Keep an eye on him. Don't let Baizhi get the soul again. Don't let Rum continue the experiment.]

Gin subconsciously glanced at Rum, who lowered his head and said nothing, wondering what he was thinking about.

"Bourbon, you are a traitor." Vermouth is now beside Amuro Toru and suddenly whispered.

Amuro Toru: “?”

Seriously, I felt like all the blood in my body was flowing backwards and my heart stopped. If it weren't for Amuro Toru's quick reaction, I would have been seriously frightened.

"Traitor? Are you talking about me?" Amuro smiled and said, "Don't make jokes like that."

"Three days ago, Bai Zhi found me." Vermouth stared at Amuro Toru, her fiery red lips raised in a beautiful arc: "She seems to be very busy recently. It should be said that except for the time when she was with you, she was very busy at other times."

Toru Amuro: "..."

"You don't know, do you? When she wasn't with you, she would occasionally mention her work progress and comment that she could get a soul in one to two weeks." Vermouth patted Amuro Toru's shoulder: "But why didn't she do anything during the time she was with you?"

"You hid it for her, didn't you?"
