Volume 1 Beginning Chapter 37 Plan Pass.jpg
Vermouth stared blankly at the two people leaving.
"Don't you need a reason to save people...?"
She once thought that people like her would never see an angel, but today...
"Do you feel that the angel is smiling at you, Vermouth?" Nan Ling said softly.
Vermouth was startled and turned around like lightning, pointing the gun at the man.
"...Chat." She returned to her natural voice.
Even though he was pointed at with a gun, Nan Ling seemed very relaxed. "Relax, Vermouth, I'm here to pick you up."
"You should be at the place we agreed on..." She frowned.
"Shouldn't you be there too?" Nan Ling shrugged and casually pushed away the gun pointed at him. "I've been looking for you for a long time. Don't point the gun at me again. I'll be very sad."
Vermouth allowed him to move and looked at Nan Ling warily, "When did you come?"
"Just arrived a while ago. Speaking of which, why didn't you kill those two men?"
"Didn't you hear what they said? Akai Shuichi is nearby. If I shoot like this, they will be attracted." Vermouth said unhappily.
"Okay, okay, I'm just too suspicious." Nan Ling raised his hands symbolically, "Then I'll help you get rid of them."
Having said that, he turned and was about to leave.
"Don't!"
As soon as Vermouth said this, she knew it was not good.
Sure enough, Chat slowly retracted the steps he had taken, his pair of silver-gray eyes showing a bit of cruel curiosity.
“…Why, Vermouth?”
His voice was soft, like a whisper to a lover.
However, only Vermouth felt Chat's murderous intent at that moment, and the pricking sensation gradually crept up every inch of her skin. Every nerve in her body was yelling at her, "Run!"
"Even if it's towards your savior, you shouldn't have any extra emotions..." Nan Ling said slowly, his inorganic silver-gray pupils as cold-blooded as a snake, "Will you be affected by personal emotions? Then for the sake of the organization's mission, I think I should get rid of them."
As expected, he was trained by Gin himself... Vermouth smiled bitterly. Although he looked like a completely different person, he was exactly the same as him in some aspects.
"Don't be so serious, Chat." Vermouth forced herself to calm down, "They are just insignificant people, and they did save my life."
"They saw Akai Shuichi chasing you, so theoretically there is a possibility that they could endanger the organization." Nan Ling spread his hands, his tone casual, but the content of his words was ruthless, "We have to eliminate all risks as much as possible."
Insignificant? Nan Ling complained in his heart. It's not just a theoretical risk, this insignificant person could turn your entire organization upside down in the future.
"Akai Shuichi is nearby, it's too risky for you to do this."
"It doesn't matter, they are just two ordinary people. It won't take much effort on my part. They won't be discovered."
“But…” Vermouth gritted her teeth, “That boy is my junior sister’s son!”
"Then I'll just kill the girl." Nan Ling said calmly, "Put away your boring sympathy, Vermouth."
The two fell silent for a moment.
The rain is still falling in New York.
“…Come on.” Vermouth suddenly regained her composure.
"Let's not talk about those high-sounding things. I have learned your information. After experiencing the treatment of the organization, are you really as loyal as you appear?"
As expected, she saw Chat startled for a moment.
So she smiled, "I'm not doubting your loyalty, Chat. It's just that we can't give everything we have to the organization. If you have a child, and one day the organization asks you to kill him, will you obey the organization's orders?"
"Your assumption is meaningless." Nan Ling replied seemingly unshakably.
But Vermouth knew that his attitude had softened.
So she continued, "I want to make a deal with you."
As she expected, Chat asked after a moment of silence: "What deal?"
Vermouth smiled with satisfaction.
Took the bait.
"I know you have always been interested in my disguise and voice changing skills. I can teach you this. How about you let those two children go and help me protect them when necessary?"
Vermouth knew Chat would accept it.
So Nan Ling accepted it as she wished.
A perfect induction.
The rhythm of this conversation from beginning to end was under Nan Ling's control, even when Belmode thought she had taken the initiative in the conversation.
Of course he never intended to kill Kudo Shinichi, but he had to make Vermouth think that he was going to kill him.
First, press forward, then...
With Vermouth's intelligence, she can definitely think of a way to break the impasse.
When she thought she had figured out Nan Ling's weakness and proposed this deal...
It was just the time when Nan Ling achieved his goal.
Smart people often believe in the answers they come up with after racking their brains. She didn't doubt that Nan Ling's purpose was to use the art of disguise that she mastered.
So, information gap is really important.
"Okay, then we have reached an alliance temporarily?" Nan Ling returned to his original state and looked at Vermouth casually.
Feeling that the tense atmosphere was gradually disappearing, Vermouth breathed a sigh of relief.
The sense of oppression is really strong at such a young age... But I am not mature enough yet, the older I get, the wiser I am.
"Yes... Mr. Temporary Ally, I wish us a pleasant cooperation." She said with a smile.
Vermouth didn't feel like she had suffered much of a loss.
Nan Ling felt that he had made a profit.
The two people, each with their own hidden agenda, shook hands with each other in a friendly manner, and both felt that they were the winners.
" Oh, by the way, your injury is not serious, do you need my help? I am a doctor."
"That's not necessary. Thank you for your kindness."
Are you kidding? How dare Vermouth let Chat touch her wound?
Chat is well-known in the organization for his use of poison. He has killed several targets with poison. Vermouth has witnessed this in previous missions with him.
Letting such a person touch my exposed wound? Even if I die, I won't understand.
"Okay, okay." Nan Ling took a few steps back.
He really means well.
Even though no one believes it.
"This mission has been considered a failure... I will write a report to the organization and request a reassessment of Akai Shuichi 's danger."
"You make sense. I was careless this time." Vermouth looked down at her wound.
"I advise you to treat your injury as soon as possible." Nan Ling said, "You were caught in the rain today, it's easy to get infected."
"Oh, thank you for your advice. "
"Then I'll leave today. Don't forget that you need to teach me how to disguise myself and change my voice. I'll wait for your news."
Vermouth breathed a sigh of relief and watched Nan Ling turn around and leave.
Nan Ling waved his hand behind his back to Vermouth and disappeared without any reluctance into the gloomy rainy night in New York.
