Chapter 887: Transaction with Vermouth
In an instant, in the forest shrouded in darkness, the temperature of the air suddenly was stunned as she looked at the blade approaching her neck, and she deeply felt a strong murderous intent approaching her.
The already injured body even began to tremble unconsciously.
Fujino looked at her trembling body calmly: "You should know that threats are useless to people like me, so give your answer quickly..."
"I agree."
Vermouth interrupted Fujino and got to the point.
Although she was frozen by the murderous intent, she still maintained her temperament and tone, and added with difficulty: "Although I have already promised the child, it does not prevent me from promising again... This time I am serious. Of course, you must also protect the child's safety."
“A wise choice.”
Fujino removed the hidden blade from her neck.
As the murderous intent he showed gradually faded, Vermouth sat down on the ground, cold sweat pouring out of her forehead, and she felt a lingering fear as she watched the hidden blade moving away.
At that time, the sword was only centimeter away from my throat.
I had a hunch that the young man in front of me was not lying.
If I really did that, the young man in front of me would turn into a butcher, and kill everyone in the organization with his words and actions.
But before that, I will be the first one to be killed.
Vermouth breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little confused.
Why is everyone protecting that woman?
Whether it's Kudo Shinichi or this guy...
What magic does Shirley have that makes them do this?
Vermouth felt a little unbalanced. They both worked in the same organization, and she was more charming than that girl. But why did she become a rat crossing the street with a knife at her neck, and everyone wanted to beat her, while that woman became a white lotus protected by everyone?
If there was such a person who treated her like this back then...
I'm afraid she wouldn't be what she is today.
…………
Let’s not talk about how Vermouth felt, but what Fujino said was indeed the truth.
In Fujino's view, Miyano Shiho/Haihara Ai has become one of the most important people to him in the world.
It was similar to what he had said to Hattori Heiji before...
Before things happen, he will use all means to nip things in the bud, and before things become irreversible, he will directly kill the possibility. If it really comes to the last step, he will use the simplest and most effective method to kill in exchange for a peaceful life.
People always have to have a goal in life, and this is his goal. In the past, his goal was Mane and system tasks, but unknowingly, his goal has turned to his own small family.
Similarly, if someone wants to ruin his life, he will ruin that person first.
This is actually a very normal behavior. After all, when all is said and done, motivation is nothing more than the shackles that imprison the beast sleeping in the human body. These shackles bind the instincts sleeping in human DNA, forcing humans to remain restrained and rational at all times.
But once the shackles are broken, people will regain the beast dormant in their DNA.
For example, an honest person is the most typical example.
Normally they tolerate everything for the sake of survival, but once their lives are ruined, they will either self-destruct or turn into irrational killing machines.
It is not terrible for a person to have hope and a goal, but the most terrible thing is the hysteria after losing everything, which is why we should always leave a way out for ourselves. Fujino is more extreme than ordinary people.
After all, he possesses physical fitness and abilities far beyond ordinary people.
If he really wanted to become a hysterical lunatic, he would have become a native of the country long ago.
…………
They reached a consensus on one point, and the relationship between the two eased a lot.
Vermouth took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and asked Fujino doubtfully: "Why did you choose to trade with me? This is obviously an inappropriate deal..."
"Because of course you hold a high position in that organization."
Fujino didn't mince words, but explained directly: "Grabbing the lifeblood of a guy with a wine name is far more useful than anything else... But in the end, I will still keep him safe along the way."
"After all, I am half his teacher, and it is natural for a teacher to protect his students."
Vermouth was obviously surprised, and then thought about it for a while, and then suddenly said: "In fact, we didn't kill your parents."
"I have investigated you, and I also know about the Fujino Zaibatsu incident a year ago... I have briefly learned about this matter before, and found that although the organization has had some connections with the Fujino Zaibatsu, there is actually no entanglement."
"As for the incident where you were assassinated before..."
"I asked around a bit and found out some things."
"That matter was raised by a client. I don't know who it was, but what is certain is that Gin was responsible for that matter, and he was also responsible for the communication. He even bypassed everyone at the instruction of the boss."
As she spoke, Vermouth looked at Fujino calmly and said, "This is the bargaining chip I want to use for the transaction. I wonder if it is enough?"
"The only bargaining chip I have is not to attack Shirley. It's not even a bargaining chip, so I have to show my value to increase my valuation in your eyes. Otherwise, if you draw your hidden blade, my life will be over."
Fujino looked at Vermouth in front of him with a serious look and silently retracted his hidden blade: "You are very smart."
Vermouth smiled helplessly, then said in a deep voice: "If I were a fool, I would have been killed by you like Calvados, how could I still be alive now?"
Fujino glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and said, "Since you are a smart person, I advise you not to play with fire."
"You are very beautiful. I am even reluctant to kill you. However, what you have done has completely overshadowed your beauty."
"So, maintain your value, or I won't spare you just because you're beautiful."
Vermouth looked at Fujino who put away his hidden blade without any doubt.
At the same time, I also know what it means to be beautiful...
It is probably because the value she can estimate now exceeds the other party's estimate.
In this situation, she is actually still very dangerous.
As long as the knife falls, she will go to see the King of Hell immediately.
The reason she is still alive is because she is still valuable.
Without value, you will die.
This is a very simple rule.
