"Half," Sake said. "Or you can find someone else."
"So greedy." Malbec clicked his tongue. "Sure, but you only have two months."
2 months?
For some reasons, Kurokawa Saki thought about the system's performance task. The FBI has come to Japan, but Conan will have to meet with Jodie first before meeting Akai Shuichi. Moreover, there's also the scene where Vermouth and Conan face off against each other.
Perhaps, the FBI will not go to Tokyo directly?
If Akai Shuichi is dragged into this game….
"Sure~." Sake chuckled. "But I'll back off if Rum disagreed."
She glanced at Bourbon who was sitting on the side with his fist clenched underneath his clothes. His expression looked cold and there was a fake smile on his face. He had tried to talk to Rum about this but that man said that he wanted to see Malbec and Sake clashed, so he wanted Bourbon to watch.
Could he really do nothing while these two people created a big mess in Osaka?
He's very unwilling.
But he couldn't abandon his own mission and there were still some things from Rum's side that he had to figure out.
Besides, even if he stopped them now, there will be others sent to do it.
It's not worthwhile.
From the moment he took this mission, he knew very well that he couldn't save everyone.
"Oh, he agreed." Bourbon took out his phone and waved it as he spoke in a nonchalant tone. It was as if they hadn't been talking about something terrifying.
"In that case, I'm reassured."
"Good." Malbec stood up and handed over the file he had been holding. "I'll be waiting for the good news."
Sake held the file but didn't open it and simply held it in her hand while Malbec walked out with Port following behind him.
She looked up at the bartender and smiled slightly. "It seems you've been doing well."
"Ah… do you still remember me, Sake?" Cava looked surprised.
"Of course, your fighting skills are very special." Sake chuckled.
"Haha…" Cava let out a dry laugh as he didn't dare to say anything else.
"Bourbon, get me all the information about Port Wine."
Bourbon, who was thinking of eavesdropping, was stunned when he heard Sake's request. "I thought you'll ask for information about the group?"
"I have to know how capable he could be so that I can use him well." Sake leaned against the counter and gave a bright fake smile. "After all, I don't want to accidentally send someone to their death~."
Bourbon was silent.
Having seen Sake nearly kill him twice if not for her precise order, he knew that Sake was fully capable of that. And if that did happen, Sake would not be blamed either.
Because Sake has the right to kill codename members.
This is what he heard from Vodka before departing to Osaka.
Getting information from Gin is difficult, but he could still talk with Vodka from time to time.
Of course, Sake will not kill people arbitrarily. But if someone blind offended him, the end result might not be very good.
"I understand. I'll send the information soon."
"Good."
…
Kurokawa Saki breathed a sigh of relief after coming out of the bar. Acting in front of new wines, especially those whom she didn't know, is very difficult.
"Why don't you ask him to gather information about Malbec?" Aunt Kira asked as she started the car.
Right now, Kurokawa Saki is tired and since there's no one else around, Aunt Kira could drive the car for her.
"Because I don't want to alarm that suspicious man." Kurokawa Saki stretched her hand and narrowed her eyes. "It's better to play the long game first."
And she also wanted to see how no. 5 planned to play it out.
Hmm, he's a public security official and his rank is already superintendent… Can he go to Osaka from Tokyo?
Otherwise, he'll have to order his subordinate instead.
Forget it.
She'll think about it later.
…
It didn't take long for the information to reach Sake's hand. She also asked for information from Karin about the gang.
It's easier and she asked other intelligence agent to collect the information from the Winery side.
Tsk, some of them were really useless.
"Port, the man you recommended has been taken by the public security," Sake said while walking into the bar.
Port froze and his expression turned ugly. "I'll clean him up."
Bourbon and Cava were doing their own things not far away, pretending not to hear the conversation between these two people. They knew very well that sometimes, it's better to pretend not knowing anything than get dragged into something they couldn't afford to get involved in.
"There'll be a get together for us. Bourbon, negotiate with him and see if he's willing to stop. Otherwise, I'll clean up the entire gang," Sake said calmly.
"Shouldn't the mission be to remove them all?" Port asked with a frown.
"Tsk, tsk, you're really violent, Port." Sake clicked her tongue as she sat down and twirled around playfully. Coupled with her youthful face, she looked rather childish right now. But her expression was closer to that of a devil than a normal young man.
Bourbon was drinking, half of his body was hidden under the shadow. He arched his eyebrows and looked rather cold. Though, this does nothing to reduce his handsome appearance aside from making him look more dangerous.
Cava was standing behind the counter, looking no different from an ordinary bartender. But he put his hand behind his back, feeling extremely nervous near the other codename members. Even though he tried to look stern, to be honest, he looked like he was constipated more than anything.
It has been a long time since he last saw so many people.
Port was sitting on the other side, a half drunk glass in front of him. His eyebrows furrowed in displeasure, emanating a dangerous aura around him.
"If we could get them to play with us, wouldn't it be more fun?" Sake smiled brightly.
"Play? This is not a game, Sake!" Port retorted.
"Don't be so rigid, Port." Sake tilted her head with a faint smile. "They're trying to figure us out because our business clashes with theirs, right? Then let them see for themselves what kind of people we are and then crush them for good."
Port looked in Sake's direction. He looked young and his short stature seemed to be harmless.
Yet, something was telling him that the person in front of him is dangerous and that he shouldn't come too close with the other party.
Tsk.
Some people in the organization were really troublesome.
"Besides, don't you think it's boring to just kill them? We wouldn't be able to take the business if it's just that," Sake continued with a shrug and then drank the sake in her glass. "How about it, Bourbon? You got what they wanted, right?"
Bourbon played with his glass, his eyes looking in Sake's direction calmly. He didn't tell Sake what he was doing yet, but this person managed to find out about it.
"Did you investigate me, Sake?" Bourbon frowned.
Even though the information was obtained through the gray channel, it would be troublesome if Sake sent someone to keep watch on him.
His status is indeed high, but what kind of organization would this be if everyone just listened to other people's order?
They're a criminal organization.
Naturally, they have conflicts with each other.
"Nope." Sake tilted her head and grinned. "But Bourbon will definitely be prepared, won't he? Or did I overestimate you?"
She pointed in his direction with her glass, tilting her head slightly playfully.
It looked like provocation, yet it also looked somewhat naive.
Bourbon sneered. "I have it."
He felt that Sake was really troublesome and answering 'no' would be the same as acknowledging his incompetence. So he could only say yes.
And it's also the truth.
"In that case…"
"I think that I can manage the negotiation on my own. Don't you think I'm capable enough of this, Sake?" Bourbon gave a sweet and dangerous smile.
Sake blinked her eyes and her smile became even wider. "Then I'll leave it to you, Bourbon~. Port will accompany you then, use him as you wishes~."
