The boy soldier next to the famous detective

Vermouth sat in her car, her eyes filled with doubt, and instructed her subordinates to verify the whereabouts of the missing team as soon as possible.

She didn't think there would be any action taken against the organization in London at this stage, and the only person who might take retaliatory action against the organization was Mary Akai.

But what gives Mary Akai the right to do this?

If she had been able to carry out this level of revenge earlier, Vermouth wouldn't have been able to so easily lure her across the bridge and drug her.

Soon, the field team members quickly located the area where the suspect was located. Vermouth, unable to contain her curiosity, drove to the vicinity, quickly changed her makeup, and prepared to check the situation.

However, before Vermouth could fully take her position, the organization's members had already engaged in a firefight with the two suspects and were routed in the first instance.

Looking at the photos sent back from the scene of the firefight, Vermouth's eyes widened, somewhat unable to believe the two figures in the photos.

"Damn it, what are those two bastards doing here!"

"Vermouth, what should we do now?"

"Withdraw, everyone retreat and hide. No one is allowed to take any action without orders."

Vermouth immediately issued a new order, instructing all remaining members of the organization to evacuate and not remain there.

Vermouth stared at the photo on her phone, remaining silent for a long time with a subtle expression before finally driving away.

Regardless of whether the appearance of these two figures here was accidental, Vermouth knew that she had lost the opportunity to continue pursuing Mary Akai.

only...

"What's going on with them? Why are they always able to find people from our organization?"

He recalled how Jonah and Dave always managed to precisely disrupt Gin's operations in Japan, and how they had interfered with the BOSS's submarine acquisition plan in the Americas, enraging the BOSS and prompting him to issue a kill order to the "Dwarf Killer Duo" within the organization.

And today, they also have the opportunity to get involved in a manhunt for MI6 agents in London.

This was very strange. Vermouth's first reaction was that there must be an undercover agent they knew in the organization, who was constantly providing them with information.

But if you calm down and think about it again, how far would this undercover agent have to go to obtain so much hidden intelligence?

Could it be that Rum himself is trading intelligence with them?

With growing doubts, Vermouth drove to a safe place, checked the time, and called her boss to explain what had happened. She also sent the photo to her boss's email to prove that what she said was true.

"It's those two again. They really love traveling all over the world."

After listening to Vermouth's report, Karasuma Renya's tone was very calm. Vermouth could even hear the sound of someone picking up a teacup on the other end of the phone.

"I understand. If the mission fails, so be it. We simply don't have enough manpower in London to fight both of them."

"Sorry, Boss, if only I could have been a little faster."

"You've acted quickly enough, Vermouth. I can't produce the best results when my subordinates are facing two enemies that are putting me at a disadvantage."

"However, according to Gin's report, their main area of ​​activity is still in Japan, right?"

"Yes, ever since they started showing up regularly and opposing us, they have spent most of their time in Japan."

"Alright, let's wait until they return to Japan. I'll have a good talk with Rum and Gin about how to entertain our two rare friends."

"I will fully cooperate with the operation to bring them both to justice!"

"Okay, keep it up."

Hearing the phone hang up, Vermouth slowly put down her phone, took out a cigarette from her pocket, lit it, and took a deep drag.

Slowly lowering the car window, looking at the streetlights outside, Vermouth remained silent for a long time before shaking her head with a wry smile.

"I've really never seen the organization so disheveled."

"It seems that besides the Silver Bullet, the organization now has two more people to be wary of."

......

"You're saying that you've driven back all the members of the organization?"

"That's right, so once we take you back to the hotel, our mission will be complete."

Faced with the shock of Mary Akai and Masumi Sera, Dave waved his hand lazily, offering no further explanation.

"After I get you to a safe place, I'll contact Akai Mary to check on her condition."

Dave's gaze swept over the shrunken Mary Akai, and he found it amusing, but he didn't show it at all.

"Mr. Dave, where's Jonathan?"

Compared to Akai Mary, who was thinking more, Sera Masumi noticed that Jonah wasn't with Dave this time, so she asked him a question out of curiosity.

"He has other tasks to attend to, and I need to rush over there after I finish dropping you off here."

After giving his prepared reason, Dave made a brief negotiation and then took Mary Akai and Masumi Sera to a hotel. He checked them into a room and left with a smile.

"Mom, those two are really amazing."

"Yes, it's very powerful, but also very dangerous, cough."

The cough symptoms still hadn't improved, and Akai Mary suspected that she might have suffered some aftereffects from soaking in the river for too long when her body shrank. Unfortunately, given her current condition, she couldn't go to a proper hospital for a proper check-up.

"Masumi, get ready, we need to get to Japan as soon as possible."

"Mom, do you still want to investigate that child?"

"Well, since we both believe in our memories, I don't believe this is just a coincidence. The phenomenon of rejuvenation has actually happened to me, so I need to think about it with this reality in mind."

Looking seriously at Sera Masumi, a hint of guilt and reluctance flashed in Akai Mary's eyes. She always felt that she was too guilty towards this youngest daughter, because she had been hiding from the organization's pursuit, which made Sera Masumi's childhood very unstable.

"Don't worry about Masumi. With the Haneda family's help, we won't be in too much danger in Japan."

"I'm not scared at all. I'm actually looking forward to it. My second brother has been staying in Japan for the past few days, and I haven't seen him in a long time."

Shaking her head, Sera Masumi revealed a relaxed and innocent smile.

"And I'm really looking forward to meeting the magician~"
