After arriving in Tokyo, Baishi Hui bid farewell to the two families and returned to his apartment.
As soon as he got back to the apartment, he started a bath to let himself relax properly.
This period was considered high-intensity activity for him.
Especially with Ran and Yukiko, it forced him to hide his abilities, unable to use his full strength!
While taking a bath, Baishi Hui bought a new phone from Azu the Bandit's mall and logged into the chat software on it.
As soon as he went online, he was immediately bombarded with messages.
Besides Akemi's, there were also Sonoko's, and Chongye Yangzi sent a few messages as well.
He first opened Akemi's messages to check.
[Shirashi-kun, the news is reporting you're missing?!? Is it true?]
[A day has passed, and you still haven't replied... Could it be that you're really missing?!]
[So, should I continue this bank job?]
[I believe you wouldn't be in trouble so easily, I'll continue investigating!]
[...]
"That's quite a lot of messages." After reading the beginning, Baishi Hui just scrolled to the end; there were too many messages in between, and he couldn't be bothered to read them all.
After confirming that Akemi had collected all the information on the bank's internal personnel during this time, he finally replied: "Had a small accident, but it's been resolved... Have you organized the materials?"
Within five seconds of sending the message, Baishi Hui received Akemi's reply: "I've finished organizing the materials."
"Thank goodness, Shirashi-kun, you finally replied."
"Can you tell me what exactly happened?"
"..."
While chatting with Akemi, Baishi Hui also took the time to reply to Sonoko and Chongye Yangzi's messages.
It took him over half an hour to reassure them.
After finishing his bath, Baishi Hui came out of the bathroom in his pajamas and had a handgun pressed against his forehead.
Baishi Hui turned his head and saw a blonde Caucasian beauty ambushing him.
The moment he saw her, the name "Vermouth" popped into his mind.
Although Baishi Hui had interacted with her several times before, it was always when she was in disguise.
This was the first time he saw her true face... she was incredibly stunning and beautiful!
"Good evening, Shirashi-kun." Vermouth greeted him with a smile.
Baishi Hui glanced at the handgun and said with certainty, "I bet there's no bullet in your gun!"
"Oh?" Vermouth said playfully, "You're really bold to bet! If you lose, your life is gone."
Baishi Hui chuckled lightly and said, "I'm not afraid of death... Do you want to try?"
He continued walking towards the living room, went to the small wine cabinet, and while getting a drink, said, "If the gun fires, I'm dead. If it doesn't, then you should be prepared."
"I have a habit of killing anyone who shoots at me, even if her gun has no bullets!"
"..." The smile on Vermouth's face gradually disappeared. She once again realized the uncertainty of the intelligence.
Intelligence can only record what a person has done, but it cannot tell you what kind of person they are.
This guy... is a bit arrogant.
Vermouth realized she still needed to use a more normal way to greet him, otherwise, the conversation wouldn't continue!
"Don't be nervous, I just came to say hello... If I really wanted to act, I would have shot you while you were in the bath." She pointed the gun at the ceiling and pulled the trigger, making clicking sounds!
There were indeed no bullets in the handgun.
Vermouth put away her handgun and asked curiously, "How did you know there were no bullets in the gun?"
"Intuition." Baishi Hui said, taking two wine glasses and walking to the sofa to sit down.
If Vermouth really wanted to kill him, it would definitely trigger [Killing Intent Perception], instead of being like this, having a gun pointed at his head with no reaction at all.
"Intuition?" Vermouth walked to the opposite sofa and sat down. Her tone was full of envy as she said, "That's truly an enviable talent!!"
While pouring the wine, Baishi Hui pretended not to know her and said, "Who are you? What do you want with me?"
"That's not how you talk to your savior... Huh? lafite 1982?" As Vermouth spoke, she noticed the label on the wine bottle and immediately took a glass for herself.
"Savior?" Baishi Hui didn't understand why she would say that.
But he quickly realized something, put down the wine bottle, and said in surprise, "So... you suppressed the news?"
"Of course! Otherwise, after causing such a big incident, could you have returned so smoothly?" Vermouth raised the wine glass, looked, smelled, and tasted it, saying in surprise, "It really is lafite 1982! I thought you bought fakes, I didn't expect it to be real... This red wine is hard to buy now!"
She took a small sip and said with a face full of regret, "Wasted by a kid like you who doesn't understand wine... You didn't even decant it."
Saying that, she got up and went to the wine cabinet to get a decanter.
Only then did Baishi Hui understand why they were able to return safely.
However, he also knew that Vermouth going to such lengths must be because of Ran!
Yukiko wasn't worth her going to such trouble.
"Huh? There are two more bottles here?" When Vermouth opened the small wine cabinet to get the decanter, she suddenly found two more bottles of lafite 1982 inside.
She turned back to Baishi Hui and said, "Anyway, you won't drink them, why don't you just give me these two bottles?"
"Okay, take them! We're even now." Baishi Hui said without hesitation... Anyway, there were plenty of these in Azu the Bandit's system's life templates, so he didn't feel any heartache at all.
"Using two bottles of lafite 1982 to repay this huge favor? You wish!" Seeing that he wasn't willing to give them away, Vermouth simply took them all out, intending to drink them all here!
A huge favor?... Baishi Hui wanted to laugh when he heard that.
If he didn't know her relationship with Ran, he would definitely be fooled by her!
However, considering Ran... he reluctantly acknowledged this favor from her.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?" Baishi Hui asked.
After Vermouth sat back on the sofa, she started decanting the wine and said, "Join me, kid! You're very talented, don't waste this talent!"
"Huh? Join you?" Baishi Hui's expression was a little strange when he heard that... If you knew about my other identity, you probably wouldn't say that.
"Right!" Vermouth picked up her wine glass again and said confidently, "Although I don't know who you're with now... if you join me, you definitely can't go wrong!"
"Because the Organization I belong to is the pinnacle of this industry!!"
Baishi Hui couldn't refute this statement either.
Based on the information he had, the Liquor Organization really was the pinnacle of criminal organizations.
Although the Liquor Organization wasn't as capable as he was in a fight, its scale indeed covered the entire globe.
"Not interested." Baishi Hui refused without thinking.
He was so awesome, did he need to join someone else?
Others joining him was more like it!
