Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

When the bell rang seven o'clock in the corridor, Brandy, wearing a Hawaiian floral shirt, opened the door to the organization's year-end banquet hall.

Everyone who had calmed down and waited for the champagne to deliver the opening speech of the dinner party all turned their attention to Brandy standing at the door.

Gin in the corner let out a very low sneer. Champagne, who was standing in the center of the venue holding a microphone and planning to start his speech, suddenly tightened his grip on the microphone, and looked at Brandy with murderous intent for the first time.

Brandy said he didn't mind at all, and instead gracefully placed a few Posses in front of everyone who looked over. When Toru Amuro, who had integrated into the intelligence team, learned from the colleagues next to him that the flowery shirt was Brandy, the leader of the logistics team, he had an idea in his mind. :

If Brandy could meet Hagiwara, they would definitely have something in common.

From the looks of it, he is a fan of floral shirts. The color and style are exactly the same as the one Hagiwara wore at the Rice Flower Central Hospital last time.

The rest of the logistics team all lowered their heads. They had no idea of ​​such a name at all. It is conceivable that after tonight's dinner, Brandy's name will definitely top the list of the organization's gossip forum.

Hennessy lowered his head and glared at Omega fiercely. This loser, he had clearly reminded him to keep an eye on Brandy, never let him out of sight, and never let him find that damn floral shirt.

As a result, not only was no one paying attention, but the floral shirt that was supposed to be hidden by Omega was actually put on by Brandy directly, in front of all the senior members of the entire organization.

Hennessy, who felt that the forever reputation of the logistics team would be destroyed today, pretended not to recognize Brandy while slashing Omega with his eye knife. The other Brandy cronies also looked at Omega with unkind eyes.

Omega, who was disliked by his colleagues, lowered his head helplessly, feeling aggrieved. The leader of their logistics team was slipperier than a fish in the water. If he wasn't careful, he would run away like a rabbit.

Besides, Brandy obviously deliberately avoided him this time and arrived at a slower pace. He must have been outside blowing the sea breeze before.

Also, although the floral shirts were all similar in length, he could swear by his code name that the floral shirt Brandy was wearing was definitely not the one he had hidden.

As for where it came from, Belmode, who had hidden his merit and fame, smiled and said nothing.

Hennessy wanted to pretend not to see it, but Champagne wouldn't give him this chance. He directly held the microphone and called out:

"Hennessy, keep an eye on your team leader Brandy."

Champagne, who has always valued etiquette and rules, faced Brandy's pressure show, which really made his blood pressure rise a bit.

Then, Hennessy, who was being watched by the others, raised his hand to cover half of his face, and walked quickly in the direction of Brandy, and then dragged Brandy away to where the logistics team members gathered, automatically ignoring Brandy's unrelenting words in his ears. Wishful complaints.

Returning to the original place, Hennessy just let go of his hand when he saw Camuchana and others gathered around him. Then several people worked together to put a royal blue suit jacket on Brandy, and finally wrapped it around him. Wearing a black fashionable long windbreaker.

Although Brandy struggled hard, under the suppression of a group of people who worked together, he was ultimately unable to retain the right to display the floral shirt and beach shorts.

Only a pair of feet wearing beach slippers could reveal Brandy's final stubbornness.

Hennessy glanced at Omega, who contributed a suit jacket, and Paxton, who contributed a long black women's fashionable trench coat, and nodded approvingly to the latter. As for the brandy, he couldn't see it.

Before the dinner officially started, the logistics team staged a big show that stunned the code members of the other teams. They suddenly felt that today was not in vain. Therefore, except for the newly promoted Amuro Toru and Morofuku Kagemitsu, no one listened carefully to the champagne. opening speech.

Champagne finished his speech with a rare expression on his face. In all the years since he took over the year-end dinner, this was the first time he encountered such a ungrateful brandy who poisoned his eyes with a flowery shirt.

I've never seen brandy like this before.

Omega, who was taken advantage of by Brandy because of this dereliction of duty, said that in the past, he always tried every means to target his team leader and never gave him a chance to escape his sight.

Who knew that Brandy would be able to avoid his sight this time and wait until the dinner started before appearing at the door.

Omega noticed something was wrong when he found no trace of brandy before the dinner started. However, the cruise ship was too big, and there were more than just those in the organization. Even if everyone in the logistics team looked for it, they couldn't find it. .

Hennessy once again reminded her to keep an eye on Brandy. Omega, who couldn't leave, nodded solemnly, looked at Brandy with a resentful face, and revealed a ray of light.

Hibiki was not interested in the follow-up to the drama of the logistics team. He stared at Toru Amuro, who kept walking around the venue holding a wine glass, and said to McCarron next to him:

"Why don't you let me go find trouble with Bourbon now, and that Kiku Masamune, why didn't you attack him, just because he was mute, so you softened your heart?"

Macallan swung the wine in his glass and explained to this little lunatic one by one:

"First, the reason why you are not allowed to attack Bourbon is because he is Rum's new trusted confidant. Hitting him would be like hitting Rum in the face. The gentleman has already made a conclusion on the case of missing arms. Let's do it now. It will only be used by Rum to make a fuss. Your Excellency has made your husband unhappy this time, which is not easy to do. If you are caught by Rum, wouldn't it make it more difficult for you, Your Excellency?"

As Whiskey's confidants, Macallan and others were all aware of the three prohibitions that Mr. Whiskey had specifically set on his family. After the year-end meeting, Whiskey told them the results of the missing arms case.

Although Whiskey didn't say it clearly, Macallan heard about his husband's attitude from Belmode and knew that even if his family won the battle with Rum this time, he would probably be punished.

Therefore, attacking Rum's confidant Bourbon now is undoubtedly hitting the point of the gun. Not only will the consequences be indifferent to Rum, but Rum will also be able to use the opportunity to complain in front of Mr. Rum.

Wouldn't it be worth the candle.

"Besides, since Bourbon can be valued and recruited by adults, it proves that there must be something in Bourbon that adults like. If you attack Bourbon, adults will not blame you if they find out, but they will be a little unhappy after all. You will always I don’t want you to be unhappy.”

Watching Hibiki nod thoughtfully, McCarron looked at his deceitful future partner with a hint of smile in his eyes.

Little fool, how could the adults be unhappy because you attacked Bourbon? Bourbon is nothing, you are the child raised by the adults. Even if you really kill Bourbon, the adults will not be unhappy about it.

I'm afraid that you failed to kill Bourbon, but gave Bourbon a chance to get in front of the adults.

Glancing at Toru Amuro, who was navigating the crowd with ease, McCarron looked away casually:

"As for Kiku Masamune, he is nothing but a poor man. He was picked by Rum because of his similar appearance to the adults, but he was also despised by Rum. He specializes in performing some dirty work and tasks with a high death rate. If it weren't for There was a partner who always helped him in critical moments, but he died in that corner long ago.

Rum has more than one substitute like this specially designed to disgust adults. Killing him will only make Rum happy, because it means that his disgusting strategy has succeeded. "

"Then, just leave it alone?"

"Of course not. After tonight, Kiku Masamune and Asaka will no longer be loyal to Rum, and we will have two more companions."

Macallan looked down at the clear wine in the glass with a meaningful expression.

Hibiki didn't want to look at Macallan's lunatic and frightening look, so he walked towards Diogia with the decorative wine glass in his hand.

Asaka, who was worried about Macallan, looked at Bourbon, who was mingling among the guests for the first time at the year-end dinner, and said to Kiku Masamune beside him:

"Look, we are also confidants. This newly promoted Bourbon is so comfortable. It's like no one cares about us."

Ju Zhengzong heard the self-deprecation in Chaoxiang's words. Just when he was about to make a gesture, he saw Chaoxiang turned his head to the other side, so he put down his hand helplessly, not knowing what to do.

What's wrong with my partner? Isn't it the same as before this time? He pulled me to lean in the corner to hide for a while. Why did he sigh so sincerely this time?

In his mind, he quickly recalled the subtle changes in the demeanor of Whiskey's confidants when they met Ju Zhengzong at the past year-end dinners. The suspicion in Chaoxiang's heart that he didn't pay much attention to at first gradually deepened.

Something's wrong, something really isn't right.

This time, Hibiki's emotional exposure towards Kiku Masamune finally made Asaka aware of the different attitudes of the core members of the equipment team towards Kiku Masamune.

Thinking about what Ju Zhengzong had told him about being appreciated and promoted by Rum, and then recalling the attitudes of Whiskey's confidants when they first met Ju Zhengzong, Chaoxiang had a guess in his heart.

Why did Rum choose Ju Zhengzong, who was not that good but was a mute among those who graduated from the training camp? Why was he not as good to Ju Zhengzong as he was to ordinary code members despite being a confidant who was promoted personally?

Kiku Masamune was always the one to do the most tiring and laborious tasks with the highest death and failure rates. After finishing the work, Rum did not express any attitude. In terms of attitude, he was even worse than Bourbon, who had not yet received a code name at the time.

But since he hates Kiku Masamune so much, why did he choose him to be his direct subordinate in the first place?

Looking at Hibiki's actions today and the subtle attitude he felt from the core code members of the equipment department in the past, Asaka was sure that Rum's original purpose of promoting Kiku Masamune was not that simple.

Maybe it's the appearance, maybe it's the temperament, well, this is unlikely, so just cross it out.

Ju Zhengzong should be somewhat similar in appearance to the equipment team leader Whiskey, and because he is mute, he was selected by Rum. The purpose was to disgust that Whiskey and Whiskey's confidants.

Chaoxiang quickly scanned the other branches of the intelligence team in the banquet hall, and as expected, he found one or two members with red hair or red eyes.

In fact, the attitude of McCarron and Diogia has always been very secretive. Except for showing a little strangeness when they first met Kiku Masamune, they actually concealed it very well afterwards, and their attitude was similar to that of other senior code members of the ordinary equipment group.

After all, they belong to different departments, and the two department bosses of the Intelligence Group and the Equipment Group are notoriously at odds with each other in the organization, so Chaoxiang always thought that McCarron and the others just disliked them, the members of the Intelligence Group, equally.

However, today Hibiki's attitude of taking action as soon as they met directly made Chaoxiang suspicious. With such a connection, Chaoxiang, who had always been quick-thinking, guessed the correct answer at once.

Then, a trace of unwillingness took root in Chaoxiang's heart.

Ju Zhengzong didn't think so much. He kept paying attention to the atmosphere in the banquet hall and quickly alerted his partner when he noticed something was wrong.

Chaoxiang, who came back from his thoughts, glanced at his partner who was gesturing in sign language, and also looked around the banquet hall. After noticing the location of Curacao, his pupils shrank, and he quickly pulled his partner over.

"Oh!"

With the sound of a gunshot, the entire hall fell silent. Everyone was instantly alert and looked towards the place where the gunshot sounded.

In the northwest corner of the hall, an old man wearing an old-fashioned black aristocratic kimono fell to the ground with his chest covered, blood dripping all over the floor, and he stopped breathing in a few seconds.

Lang, who was wearing a disguise, stared at the scene not far away and showed a happy smile.

The show has just begun.

After blowing on the gun smoke, Zacapa looked at the group of fallen members of the first generation of codenames who had gathered around him to demand an explanation. He chuckled and said:

"Sorry, the gun went off."

These old code members naturally didn't believe Zacapa's explanation because they were not allowed to bring communication equipment and weapons to the year-end dinner. Zacapa's behavior was obviously a deliberate act of revenge.

Moreover, it is obvious that not only the rum, but also the champagne used for the dinner was informed and acquiesced. Taking a closer look, I wonder if this happened with the connivance of Mr.

Many members of the declining first generation who were secretly involved in the previous assassination of Zacapa and the seizure of the key to the intelligence team were beating their hearts out. Some of them even secretly stepped back and looked at the people standing in Curacao. Belmod was surrounded by people watching.

Belmod didn't pay any attention to the gazes of these people. She looked at Fitwa who had lost his breath on the ground and raised her eyes.

It's a classic example of killing the chicken to scare the monkey. My husband still values ​​Rum so much that he actually allowed him to use those fallen members of the older generation to establish his authority at the year-end dinner.

Then, Zacapa fired several more shots one after another, and Fitwa on the ground gained a few more companions who had gone to hell together.

Champagne watched everything happen with cold eyes, and after Zacapa fired again, he ordered his men to step forward and drag away the bodies of several people for disposal.

Seeing members of the team directly under the boss dressed as waiters approaching, Zacapa handed over the gun in his hand and said to the person collecting the body:

"Sorry, the gun went off again."

Zacapa, who had successfully taken revenge, felt refreshed. He glanced back and saw the look in the eyes of Rum after the disguise. He turned around and bowed in a pretentious manner to the other people gathered around the venue. Apologize:

"Sorry for disturbing everyone due to personal grudges."

Toru Amuro watched the drama quietly and noticed Zacapa's glance back. Looking in that direction, Toru Amuro saw an old man with gray hair who looked to be sixty or seventy years old, holding a wine glass and looking at champagne. The subordinates who were handling the corpses on the ground noticed his gaze, gave Toru Amuro a meaningful smile, and raised the wine glass in his hand to him.

And Curaçao, who was Rum's standard choice for identification, stood quietly behind the old man at some point.

Rum, sure enough, it's here.
