Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

Kim Hara Akimi used the excuse of going to the bathroom, closed the bathroom door, and opened the text message mailbox on her mobile phone.

As expected, there was a short video with A Mian as the background.

But then, the person on the other side seemed to foresee that she was alone at this time, opened her phone, and saw the video.

The next second, another text message came.

There was only a short line of words in it.

'The crow's promise still stands.'

Kanehara Ami was shaken.

When Vermouth promised her that she would help Ameng become the heir to Utsunomiya, she was really moved.

I even thought about whether I should break off cooperation with the police.

After all, even if the public security department could help her disclose the truth about Utsunomiya Masaichi's death in front of the head of the Utsunomiya family, and let Utsunomiya Hirotaka receive the appropriate punishment and trial.

But Ameng is young, while Utsunomiya Hiroshi is not only an adult, but also the only remaining son of the head of the Utsunomiya family.

It is only natural for him to take the position of heir.

In Kanehara Akimi's opinion, Utsunomiya Hiroshi is undoubtedly a cold-blooded person.

He is not even the heir of the Utsunomiya family, but he is already so cold to Amian. If he really sits on that position, I am afraid he will not let Amian grow up safely.

The public security can help her avenge Utsunomiya Shoichi, but they will never interfere in the selection of the Utsunomiya family's heir.

However, she also knew very well that there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world, and even if there was, the free lunch would be poisoned.

Compared to the extremely mysterious otherworld organizations, the public security is naturally more reliable.

However, this time and that time.

When it comes to ensuring A Mian's safety, she certainly trusts the police more, but when A Mian's life is in the hands of others, this trust is naturally greatly reduced.

And, maybe, that organization will actually keep its promise.

As long as she goes with them, they can really avenge Master Zhengyi and let Master A Mian take the position of heir.

After struggling for several times, Akimi Kimhara finally sent a text message back to the number that sent the message.

After receiving the reply, Vermouth showed an expression that said "as expected".

However, what she didn't expect was that after replying to the text message, Akihiro Kimura had just opened the bathroom door when she was stopped by Conan who was guarding the bathroom door.

"Little boy, do you want to go to the toilet?"

In response to Kanehara Akimi's question, Conan shook his head and said firmly:

"Sister Jin Yuan, you must not believe any of the conditions that organization has promised you.

It is a dangerous and terrifying criminal organization. Trusting them is more terrifying than making a deal with the devil."

Kimhara Akimi looked at the child in front of her, who was about the same age as A Mian, in surprise. She didn't expect to hear such words from him.

"Okay, sister won't."

Akimi Kanehara responded gently, but Conan could hear her perfunctory tone.

He wanted to say something when he saw Hojo Shuya and Kazami Yuya, who had heard the noise, walking over here.

When she saw Hojo Shuya, the fake smile on Kanehara Akimi's face immediately disappeared.

Compared to Chikagaku Kinda, she didn't know how to face Hojo Shuya.

Although they are companions, Akimi Kanehara knows that these two people are different.

In addition to the difference in status, the two people's personalities are also completely different.

It seems that the one with the best temper among them is Hojo Shuya, but his good temper is only shown among friends.

Before she knew that Haga Shuichiro was Hojo Shuya, her understanding of Hojo Shuya had nothing to do with the word "good-tempered".

In the upper class circles, before the heir to the Karasuma Group appeared, people talked about a person who was of noble status, was doted on by his family, rarely showed up in the circle, had a willful temperament, but was firmly in the position of heir.

The first person that everyone thinks of is basically the heir of the Hojo family.

Therefore, when she learned that Haga Shuichiro was Hojo Shuya, Kanehara Akimi was in disbelief at first, and then she suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt.

Chikada Shigaku is gentle by nature, but the good temper displayed by Hojo Shuya is because he thinks she is the friend he has known for many years online.

During the meeting after the confession, Akimi Kanehara clearly felt the alienation emanating from Hojo Shuya, an emotion she had never felt in the past few days.

It was still the same good-tempered expression, but it was completely different.

Kimhara Akimi did not feel sad about this, but was happier.

He behaved like this because he valued Young Master Zhengyi and his position in that friendship.

As a despicable impostor, even though the intention of impersonation was not to deceive, she still felt ashamed in front of Hojo Shuya.

This feeling reached its peak when Hojo Shuya showed a hint of alienation.

If it weren't for what happened tonight, she had no plans to meet Hojo Shuya again.

It’s just that plans are not as good as changes.

When Conan saw Hojo Shuya coming, his eyes lit up and he immediately went over and said:

"Sister Jin Yuan received the messages from those bad guys. They are all scammers. Brother, go and persuade Sister Jin Yuan not to believe them."

Jinyuan Zhaomei replied with a stiff face:

"That's not true. This kid is just talking nonsense."

Hojo Shuya glanced at the short, stocky Conan who claimed to be an elementary school detective, and then his eyes fell on the frozen face of Kanehara Akimi:

"In that case, Zhaomei, do you mind letting me see your phone?"

Hojo Shuya called her in a friendly manner, but Kanehara Akimi felt nervous.

Seeing that Kanehara Akimi's expression was becoming increasingly tense and stiff, Hojo Shuya blinked in confusion:

"So what the little detective said is true.

Did you really receive text messages from those dangerous people, hiding it from us, and plan to secretly meet them and cooperate with them?"

The questioning tone echoed in the quiet room, and the others who heard the noise on the other side had already stopped talking.

Feeling the gazes on her, Kanehara Akimi closed her eyes, raised her head and said firmly:

“I’m sorry, I lied to you again, but Master A Mian is very important to me.

He is the only descendant of Master Zhengyi left in this world, I cannot let anything happen to him."

"The promises made by those dangerous people are like poison wrapped in arsenic. If you really believe them, you will be deceived and even lose your life."

Hojo Shuya looked at Kanehara Akimi and said:

"A Mian is the only bloodline left by my friend. I promise that he will be safe."

Conan quickly answered, looking anxious:

"Sister Jin Yuan, don't believe what those people say. Their target is you and the treasure map, so as long as you don't agree, they won't dare to hurt A Mian easily."

After all, if they were forced into a corner and Akihiro Kanehara were to perish along with her, the Black Organization would suffer more than it gained.

So in order to avoid this situation, Vermouth would only use coercion and inducement to trick people into coming over.

But once they get the people and things, they will really have no scruples about what they do.

After all, A Mian was not within their scope of mission.

Feng Jianyuya followed up and advised:

"Yes, yes, the initiative is in our hands now, so don't listen to those people's sweet talk.

If you really believe it, it will harm A Mian."

Akimi Kanehara was silent for a long time, and finally took out her cell phone and handed it to Hojo Shuya.

Hojo Shuya took it, clicked on the text message page, watched the video first, then looked at the content of the text message and Akimi Kanehara's reply.

"What did they promise you?"

Kimhara Akimi, who made the decision, did not hide anything and told Vermouth all the conditions that he promised her on the rooftop.

Hearing the Black Organization's promise to help Amatsu become the heir to Utsunomiya, Kazami Yuya thought:

It seems that the public security department is really unable to do this, no wonder Kimhara Akimi agreed to it, it is such a tempting promise.

If he were Kimhara Ami, he would probably be willing too.

Conan, who was standing on tiptoe to look at the contents of Akihiro Kanehara's mobile phone, felt a little relieved when he saw what Yuya Kazami was thinking clearly written on his face.

Fortunately, Hojo Shuya followed you, otherwise Kanehara Akimi would definitely regret it when she saw your expression.

In response to this, Hojo Shuya sneered unceremoniously:

"Supporting a child to become the heir of the Utsunomiya family, this kind of effort far outweighs the reward, only a fool like you would believe it."

Seeing anger flashing in Kanehara Akimi's eyes, her expression became much more lively. A hint of joy flashed across Hojo Shuya's eyes, and he walked towards the sofa with his cell phone in his hand.

As he walked, he said:

“It would take at least fifteen years for a child to be promoted to the position of heir and for him to grow up and truly master the power that belongs to the heir.

Moreover, even if an heir has reached adulthood, the highest power in the family is still in the hands of the head of the family.

They promised you to make a child the heir. What was they hoping for? Was it because they hoped that he would remember their kindness fifteen years from now and repay them?

This kind of charity, let alone criminal organizations in the other world, even legal organizations would not consider it."

Because the probability of winning the bet is not even one in a thousand.

“Also, do you think that the Utsunomiya family head they accepted the gold leaf bounty, and they were looking for you and the treasure map, and they were seeking cooperation with the Utsunomiya family head, really refers to the current Utsunomiya family head?

They didn’t mention any names.”

Akimi Kanehara, Conan and others all looked shocked.

Behind the confused Yuya Kazami, Amuro, who heard the entire conversation through the headset, smiled approvingly.

Yes, the person the organization wanted to seek cooperation with was the head of the Utsunomiya family, but it did not say that the head of the Utsunomiya family was Utsunomiya Kenji.

"That organization wants you and the treasure map, but they just treat you as a commodity to be sold.

As for commodities, naturally whoever offers the highest price will get the goods.”

Hojo Shuya sat on the sofa and said to the stunned Kanehara Ami:

“In other words, if the Utsunomiya family leader offers a higher price that satisfies them, then they will reach a cooperation agreement with the Utsunomiya family leader.

Then the subsequent development of the matter will be just as they promised you before, revealing the truth about Zhengyi's death and avenging him."

"But if Utsunomiya Hirotaka offers a higher price, then you and the treasure map will fall into Utsunomiya Hirotaka's hands. Ah Mian, it's the gift after purchasing the goods.

If Utsunomiya Hirotaka dared to kill the heir, Shoichi, he would have the courage to get rid of the head of the Utsunomiya family."

Moreover, after confirming that someone in that organization had cracked the secret code of the gold leaf bounty, Utsunomiya Hirotaka would definitely develop the intention to kill.

After all, it is easy to hide something for a while, but it is difficult to hide it for a lifetime. The most reliable and effective way is to get rid of the person who wants to find out the truth.

Conan suddenly realized that he had been led astray by the information he had obtained before.

After seeing that Utsunomiya Hirotaka planned to eliminate the person who cracked the gold leaf bounty code of the Black Organization along with the head of the Utsunomiya family.

He naturally put the Black Organization and Utsunomiya Hirotaka on the opposite side.

When they heard Vermouth say that they were seeking cooperation for the head of the Utsunomiya family, they naturally thought that the Black Organization and the head of the Utsunomiya family had the same goals.

So he completely overlooked one point.

That is, when interests are involved, all relationships are no longer absolute and eternal.

Friends who stick together through thick and thin may become enemies who stab each other in the back, and enemies who fight to the death may become good friends who shake hands and make peace.

Even though Hirotaka Utsunomiya wanted to kill the members of the Black Organization, he even made a plan.

But if someone from the organization really came with Akihiro Kanehara, the treasure map, and Amien to discuss cooperation, would Utsunomiya Hirotaka refuse?

If the cooperation is negotiated well, the organization might even help Utsunomiya Hirotaka kill the head of the Utsunomiya family.

By then, everyone will be accomplices in the same boat, so Utsunomiya Hirotaka will no longer be afraid that the organization will expose the truth about Utsunomiya Masakazu's death.

Once the head of the Utsunomiya family is dealt with, Utsunomiya Hirotaka will be the new head of the Utsunomiya family. Doesn't this perfectly fit what Vermouth said before?

The Black Organization wants to seek cooperation with the head of the Utsunomiya family, but they didn't say who this person must be.

It can refer to the current head of the family, Utsunomiya Kenji, and of course it can also refer to the next head of the family after Utsunomiya Kenji's death.

If Utsunomiya Hirotaka is ungrateful and wants to burn his bridges, then the next head of the family could be someone else with the surname Utsunomiya.

Compared to investing in a child who is so uncertain that there is a high probability that he will get nothing in return, it is of course more cost-effective to choose the former.

If all goes well, you will reap the rewards soon.

After hearing this, Akimi Kanehara instantly realized how ridiculous her previous thoughts were. If Hojo Shuya hadn't pointed it out to her, she would have foolishly delivered herself to the enemy.

"But what about Master A Mian?"

Although A Mian's life does not seem to be in danger at the moment, if she continues to hide, will those people really not lift a finger to hurt A Mian?

Intimidation, confinement, and regular fasting do not seem to pose much danger to the child's life.

But for a child, it is already a great enough harm that it may even affect his future growth.

The space fell into silence again.

At this time, one of the police officers who came over to watch the short video suddenly said:

"Wait, let's pause here."
