Volume 1 Beginning Chapter 65 We are on the same level

"Since you don't believe the truth..." Nan Ling put in a little more effort to free his wrist from Amuro Toru, and looked at his skin which had turned a little blue from being pinched with heartache.

How come this person doesn't know the heart of a good person...

"We seem to be on the same level, I have no obligation to explain to you." Nan Ling shrugged and sat down against the wall facing Amuro Toru. "After all, I saved your life. Is this how you treat your savior?"

"I don't need your help." Amuro Toru said calmly, as if he was stating a fact.

"You'd better hurry up." Nan Ling curled his lips.

Toru Amuro's eyes were a little complicated.

Although he said that he didn't need Chat's help, he had some idea in his mind after running all the way here.

If it weren't for Chat, he would have at least four more gunshot wounds by now.

Chat was very familiar with the streets and alleys nearby, and they were able to shake off their pursuers so quickly because Chat chose his route very cleverly.

and……

Is Chat's skill really that good?

Even he was accidentally grazed by a bullet, but Chat's body was not injured at all except that it was a little messy due to running so fast!

The last time they met was three years ago in Western Europe, but he didn't fight Chat then.

Although I have always heard that Chat was trained by Gin himself and has excellent skills, I am still very confident in my skills and don't take this matter to heart.

As expected, seeing is believing.

"Come to think of it... I haven't asked you yet, why are you here?" Nan Ling asked lazily, holding his chin.

"If I remember correctly, we seem to be on the same level. I have no obligation to explain to you." Amuro Toru replied tit for tat.

Wow, isn’t this exactly what I just said?

Why is this guy Toru Amuro still so fond of arguing with people?

"If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. It's none of my business anyway." Nan Ling said casually, "I'm not as curious as Gin."

"Oh, by the way, let me ask you something." Nan Ling dusted himself off and stood up. "Is there anything I can help you with? I'm free these days."

"I don't need your help. I've made it very clear just now." There was a strong sense of vigilance in Toru Amuro's eyes.

"Hehe... I knew it was like this. In fact, I wouldn't help you even if you told me." Nan Ling laughed as if he had succeeded in playing a prank, "I'm leaving first——"

The young man's cheerful voice disappeared into the silent night of Kyoto along with the evening breeze and gun smoke, "——Remember that you owe me a favor, Bourbon."

…

after one day.

In the hotel where Toru Amuro is temporarily staying.

He looked through his findings with a complicated expression.

First of all, something big did happen to Heyue recently.

Their cadre in charge of intelligence gathering, Ichiji Yamada, was recently found dead in a villa in the suburbs.

The cause of death is unknown, but there were no obvious wounds on the body, so it is speculated that it was poisoning.

There were three other bodies at the scene, all without any injuries.

If only Ichiji Yamada died, Toru Amuro wouldn't have the superpower to deduce what happened to Kazuki.

But with another important piece of information, things become much clearer.

Several intelligence reports said that Ichiji Yamada had recently captured a very important person, but he died not long after capturing this person.

The mysterious captured person never appeared in anyone's sight again.

As for who that person was and what important information he had, Toru Amuro was unable to find out.

Even within Heyue, very few people dared to talk about this matter. It was enough for him to find out this information in such a short time.

It is obvious that the purpose of the person who killed Yamada Ichiji was the person he had captured before. The fact that he died because of such a thing also shows that the information in that person's hands is very important.

However, what Toru Amuro was concerned about was not that information, but——

——How exactly does this matter connect to the fake "Bourbon".

The most plausible explanation imaginable is:

The man who killed Ichiji Yamada was the same person as the one who impersonated him.

And combined with the death of Yamada Ichiji...

Poisoning can instantly remind Toru Amuro of someone.

Chat.

Although there is no evidence, Toru Amuro believes that this matter must be related to Chat.

Why else would he appear in Kyoto at such a good time? And not far from He Yue's door? And save him at that time?

If this is the case……

The whole thing is that Chat killed Ichiji Yamada for some reason, rescued the captured person, and then pretended to be Bourbon to carry out the transaction.

There are still some things that don’t make sense.

There is no necessary connection between saving people and pretending to be Bourbon, unless... unless the captured person is related to the Black Organization.

But if this was an action of the organization, I, as the person in charge of this transaction, would definitely know about it.

Is this Chat's personal action... But isn't Chat going against the organization?

Amuro Toru scratched his head in annoyance.

Chat would never disobey the organization - that guy is the most loyal dog in the organization, second only to people like Gin.

He was born for the Black Organization, so his blood must be black.

It’s dirty to think about it, how could such a person betray the organization?

Was my assumption wrong? Was this incident unrelated to Chat?

But Chat's appearance is too suspicious...

Well, I suddenly thought of a good idea.

Toru Amuro took out his cell phone and started typing.

[Transaction failed, He Yue said the transaction has been completed. I suspect someone pretended to be me and conducted the transaction. The initial suspect is:]

The typing hands stopped.

Toru Amuro frowned as he stared at the screen of his mobile phone, and hesitated for a long time about the two words "Chat" that he was about to type.

If he put the blame on Chat, it would have a significant impact on him regardless of whether this guy was involved in the incident or not.

At the very least, his activities within the organization would cease for a while.

but……

What if, what if it was really Chat who did this, doesn't it mean that his position is not completely black?

And most importantly…

"-You owe me a favor, Bourbon." The young man's cheerful voice still echoed in Amuro Toru's ears.

Betray a savior who just saved your life... ?

Toru Amuro looked struggling.

On one side are the interests of the country, and on the other side are one's own conscience.

This is truly a classic ethical dilemma.

He smiled bitterly and clenched the phone in his hand, his fingers turning white from excessive force.
