Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

White steam continued to rise from the Chianti.

She fell to the ground weakly, groaning in her mouth. It was obvious that her current condition made her very uncomfortable, and even the slightest movement was difficult for her.

At this time, more than twenty minutes had passed, and Chianti had obviously grown a lot older and entered the teenage age range.

Vermouth frowned and kept staring at Chianti's condition.

Apparently, like that gentleman, she was extremely concerned about the sudden emergence of "rejuvenation" drugs.

It was noticed that even though she was standing between Gin and Koizumi, Vermouth, who should have been very perceptive, did not notice the eye contact between the two people at all.

She was silent for a long time, then spoke again: "Mello, think carefully again, has Rum revealed any important information?"

"Important information..."

Koizumi muttered, frowning in thought.

Koizumi was a little concerned about Vermouth's attitude.

Does she, an ageless fairy, need to regain her youth?

It's definitely not.

So what made Vermouth so concerned was probably some detail that she hadn't noticed?

Koizumi really couldn't imagine it.

To be honest, the bait she released was obviously enough to hook the big fish, Karasuma Renye, so she no longer wanted to reveal any useful information.

After all, the more you talk, the greater the possibility of flaws.

How about saying something first to pave the way for the appearance of Fujiwara Yuto?

So Koizumi said hesitantly: "The first time Rum gave me this medicine, I didn't pay much attention to it. I can't remember what we talked about at that time. On the New Year's Day, I rejected his request and changed the subject directly..."

Vermouth pursed her lips, obviously dissatisfied with Koizumi's answer.

"…But I remember that after I said the effects were interesting, Rum said something like, 'This is his masterpiece.'

"Yes, that's exactly what it said! Rum said, 'It's his masterpiece'!"

"This 'he' should be referring to the main researcher of the secret R&D team behind Rum, right? At least we can confirm that he is a male."

After saying this, Koizumi showed an embarrassed expression: "Well, this shouldn't be considered a useful clue."

To Koizumi's surprise, after listening to her statement, Vermouth's eyes twitched.

Although it was only a moment, it was indeed a sign that she cared a lot.

Is there really someone that Vermouth cares about?

The room fell silent.

In the following time, except for Chianti's moans, the gentleman, Gin and Vermouth did not speak again.

Everyone stared at Chianti, lost in their own thoughts.

An hour later, Chianti finally returned to its original state, with no more steam coming out of it.

However, now that the steam was gone, the man's energy seemed to have been drained.

Chianti twisted twice on the ground, but it seemed that he didn't even have the strength to turn over.

Koizumi went forward and turned her over, checking the place on her chest where the gunshot wound had been.

It's all smooth and the wound has healed completely.

If it weren't for the hole in the clothes, it would be impossible to tell that there was a fatal gunshot wound there.

What a pity, this person must be taken back by that gentleman to be sliced, and there is no way he would be killed by her.

Koizumi sighed in his heart with a hint of regret, and briefly explained to the black silhouette in the monitor how Chianti's gunshot wound had disappeared.

Karasuma Renye pondered for a moment, and finally said, "Mello, why didn't you report this earlier?"

Koizumi's face turned cold.

"I had originally planned to tell Gin about this after I came back from the New Year."

She didn't say anything else after that. Those who understand will understand.

Before the New Year was over, she was called back by Gin, and then put under house arrest according to Karasuma Renya's order.

Then, in the process of acting with Gin, not only was she forced by Gin to hold her head down like this and that, but she also suffered from the hidden device on her body.

Soon after, the company he founded was taken away by someone.

In fact, it was only Melo who had a special trump card. If it were anyone else, not only would they have lost their company, but they would also be in trouble.

Karasuma Renya was speechless...

The room was silent for a long time again, and Karasuma Renye coughed lightly: "Mello, since you said you would take over Tokyo, you must be responsible."

Koizumi's heart moved.

Karasuma Renya has compromised with her and will not pursue her rebellion anymore!

but!

Do you think that if you say that I will be grateful and happily work for you?

Think beautiful!

Koizumi pouted: "I can't do it. I regret it."

That gentleman: ...

"I told you, I just want to be responsible for my cat cafe and my agency. I still have Gin here, so you should leave everything else to Mr. Hardworking. I'm cunning, lazy, greedy, and slippery. I just want to lie down."

Gin:......

Vermouth covered her mouth and laughed out loud.

"Look, sir, I've said it before. If you don't trust anyone, you can trust her. This little girl, Melo, is just a lazy cat! If she wasn't forced to do anything, she wouldn't do anything, because she's just too lazy to do those troublesome things."

Koizumi snorted, turned his head away, and started to mutter, "I'm just afraid of trouble, so what? If that bastard Rum had discussed it with me properly, the company would have given it to him. If I hadn't realized that he wanted to kill me, I wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to him.

"When I first invested, he only gave me 10 million. But the boss of the Suzuki family gave me 40 million as if it was a joke.

"Later, during Christmas, he said he would invest in my security company, but he only gave me 100 million. Damn, I've made 800 million myself, who cares about his 100 million?

"You are a miser, a megalomaniac, a psychopath, and a person with severe paranoia. You deserve to die!"

That gentleman: ...

"Merlot, you can let Gin take over the various assets under Rum's name, but you are responsible for your own security company. You were the one who started the matter with the mayor of Tokyo and the Americans, so you must take responsibility to the end!"

Gin glanced at Koizumi and replied calmly, "I know."

Koizumi curled his lips: "...Oh."

That gentleman: "Gin, you will hand over all matters concerning the Tokyo Drug Research Base to Mello."

Gin raised an eyebrow: "Got it."

Koizumi: ...

"In addition, there is Rum's secret experimental base, the anti-aging drug, and his secret research and development team. Mello is responsible for investigating."

"Eh?!"

Koizumi shouted in dissatisfaction: "Why are there more and more troubles!"

"It's okay if you don't want to do it. Come back to me. I'll transfer other code members to cooperate with Gin's operation. By the way, I'll also bring him a small gift. What do you think?"

Koizumi:!!!

What a fucking little gift! Are you planning to send another Cohen over?

The gentleman laughed and said, "Although you have many complaints about Gin, you can't deny that he is still a good candidate, right? And you said yourself that you are satisfied with his health, right?"

Gin:......

Koizumi: ...Huh?!

"Anyway, Tokyo is left to you two. I won't send new personnel there for the time being, but if your performance doesn't satisfy me... you understand, right?"

Gin: “…Hmph.”

He glanced at Koizumi and looked away.

Tsk, how come I became that gentleman's tool to threaten Mello?

troublesome!

Koizumi: “…Humph!”

He glared at Gin and turned away impatiently.

Tsk, how come Gin became that gentleman's tool to threaten me?

troublesome!

But right now, she really couldn't help but fall for it!

Vermouth raised her eyebrows slightly and gave them a meaningful look.

"Vermouth, you must escort Chianti back to me first."

"Okay, sir."
