Chapter 297: Organization and Nishizaki Family? Main Line Merge?
"Rum, what's going on?"
"Have you paid attention to what's happened in the Nishizaki family recently?" The person on the other side went straight to the point.
But when he heard what Rum said, Toru Amuro was stunned.
What's going on with the Nishizaki family? Rum is also paying attention?
Why? Does this have anything to do with the organization?
Amuro Toru suppressed his surprise and said in a cold tone, "Of course, a lot of people have been watching the fun of the Nishizaki family recently, right?"
As an intelligence dealer, he is naturally well-informed, so Toru Amuro cannot pretend to know nothing.
"Why? Is there anything about this matter that deserves the organization's attention?"
He seemed to be testing casually.
"Hmph." Rum snorted lightly, and did not answer Amuro Toru's question. He just asked, "Is Shirakawa Qiu's hand in this matter?"
Amuro Toru quickly reviewed the information gap between the two sides in his mind, and then answered conservatively, "It seems so. He just went to Kyoto a while ago, and those things happened to the Nishizaki family. Now that he's back in Tokyo, things are happening to the Nishizaki family one after another. I think it must be Shirakawa Akira who is behind this."
"But we still need to investigate the details of his feud with the Nishizaki family."
This is not because Amuro Toru is betraying Shirakawa Akane, but mainly because the matter is very obvious and he does not believe that Rum does not know the details.
Besides, he was usually the closest to Baichuan Qiu, so it was impossible for him to play dumb at this time. Instead, it might expose the fact that he was biased towards Baichuan Qiu.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Rum did not react at all, as if he had already known about it.
"Next, continue to monitor the actions of Shirakawa Akane and the Nishizaki family, and report to me if there are any unusual movements." Rum said.
Toru Amuro became more alert and quickly analyzed Rum's intentions in his mind.
Why did Rum suddenly pay attention to the affairs of Nishizaki and Shirakawa?
If he remembered correctly, Rum was still holding a grudge against Gin for what happened in the US, so he shouldn't have been able to spare any time to focus on the Nishizaki family and Shirakawa-no-Yu. Could it be that he still suspected Shirakawa and Gin of a secret collaboration? Was he trying to use this as an excuse to target Gin?
Toru Amuro has been watching what's happening in the organization recently. He knows that the fight between Rum and Gin has reached a fever pitch, and many people in the organization are watching, ready to take sides or run away at any time.
Thanks to Bourbon's mysticism, he was not very close to most people in the organization, and had little contact with gin. In addition, he joined the organization relatively late, so such struggles basically had little to do with him, and he naturally belonged to Rum's camp.
Even if he wanted to rebel and join Gin, Gin would not accept him wholeheartedly.
So... from a certain perspective, Rum does trust him more?
Thinking of this, Toru Amuro felt complicated and remained silent in a strange way.
"Bourbon?" Because of Amuro Toru's long silence, Rum's tone was already slightly displeased.
"I understand." said Toru Amuro.
Rum hung up the phone with satisfaction.
He raised his head, looked at the heterochromic woman in front of him, and said in a cold voice, "I am very dissatisfied with what is happening in the United States. You should know that here, things without value will eventually be discarded. But I will give you another chance this time. What to do next, do you not need me to remind you?"
Curacao, who had just returned from the United States, lowered his head and replied in a flat voice, "I understand."
Rum looked at the woman in front of him steadily: "Don't let me down again next time."
"Yes."
-
Toru Amuro walked out of the kitchen full of suspicion.
Shirakawa Akane waved and asked Amuro Toru to sit over.
"What's wrong?" Baichuan Qiu asked curiously.
Amuro Toru thought about it and told the truth: "Rum is also paying attention to the affairs of the Nishizaki family, and by the way, he is also paying close attention to you."
Baichuan Qiu: “?”
No, Rum is crazy! He's not a main character, and you're just staring at him all the time because you're bored all day long, right?
He poked the system with some doubt: "System, is this part in the plot?"
The system frantically shook its head: "No, never, I haven't even seen the host in the main storyline—"
Baichuan Qiu narrowed his eyes: "Haven't you seen the rest of the story yet?"
The system immediately changed its tone and said very seriously: "It should be... No, right?"
Baichuan Qiu: "..."
Come on, asking the small system is just a waste of time, and it’s easy to be misled if you ask.
So Shirakawa Qiu could only continue to ask Amuro Toru: "Why does Rum care about the affairs of the Nishizaki family?"
Amuro Toru: "I currently suspect that his action may be related to the recent incident involving Gin."
Bai Chuanqiu frowned.
Why would this incident suddenly come up with people from the organization?
He always felt that his story and the protagonist's main storyline were two separate stories and had nothing to do with each other.
After all, his connection to the organization was limited to a few collaborations with Gin, and he occasionally helped the protagonist push Green Chart's progress. While it's undeniable that he himself was somewhat involved in the main storyline, he had been involved in every aspect of the Nishizaki family's affairs, whether it was Linlu Construction or Xingyao Entertainment, and had never discovered any trace of the organization's existence.
You know, according to the style of the organization, if the organization is really related to the Nishizaki family, then Shirakawa Akane's behavior would have been enough for Gin to chase him in an Osprey.
——But it didn’t.
Even when he and Gin met for the first time, he used the connections of the Purton family to get the boss of the organization to let him go. The boss did not react at all and gave in easily, obviously knowing nothing. Unlike Nishizaki, he had been targeting him from the beginning to the end, and would continue to beat him to death as long as he was not dead.
In this case, how are these two lines connected?
Baichuanqiu lowered his eyes in thought.
Amuro Toru saw Shirakawa Qiu's expression, sighed softly, and reached out to press Shirakawa Qiu's shoulder: "Don't worry, I will continue to test Rum's side, at worst -"
There was a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes, as if the organization's 'Bourbon' had taken over: "At worst, we can just arrest them."
Although Rum's identity as "Kanenobu Wakita" was perfect and he couldn't find any evidence against him for the time being, but he could use public security means to take the person away, and there was still a chance that he could directly pry open the other person's mouth.
Baichuan Qiu quickly suppressed Amuro Toru's "dangerous" idea: "No, this will be very disadvantageous to you. Let's observe it for a while."
After all, he is a villain who often appears, so Rum is more useful outside.
Amuro Toru regained his composure, holding his chin in his hand and thinking: "So what exactly does Rum want to do——"
"I think this matter still needs to start from Nishizaki's side." Shirakawa Qiu said, "From what I see now, his target should not only be me, but also the Nishizaki family, and I may just be the one who is caught in the crossfire."
The Nishizaki family is Rum's main target.
As for why Rum is paying attention to the Nishizaki family... maybe you can ask the old man in the Nishizaki family.
Baichuan Qiu's intuition told him that the old man must know something.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a sense of urgency.
Originally, he thought that the Nishizaki family was already in decline, and he had plenty of time to force them into a desperate situation, repay him and the original owner's past one by one, and find out the truth about the death of the original owner's parents... But now it seems that time is running out.
This "prey" has also been targeted by others.
