Chapter 211: Plan Leaked

Three days have passed since the incident at the hot spring inn Kosenan in Hakone.

Vermouth's symptoms of hydrogen sulfide poisoning have long since recovered.

The parts of his body that had been attacked by Masumi Sera and the mysterious man were all covered with dark purple bruises.

The arm that was scratched by the dagger was also sutured.

Although I still feel pain occasionally when I move around,

However, this level of injury has no impact on Vermouth.

She arrived at the base of the Karasuma Group (also known as the Black Organization) around 10 o'clock in the morning.

However, not long after Vermouth arrived at the area of the core members of the organization, she suddenly felt a little chill in her heart.

Just as she was about to turn around to look, she suddenly felt something hard against the back of her head.

Behind Vermouth at this moment,

A man with silver hair, wearing a hat and sunglasses, holding a Remington 700 sniper rifle, pointed the gun at Vermouth's head.

"Do not move."

The man moved his mouth and uttered a brief command.

Vermouth raised her hands to show that she would not resist.

She had anticipated this situation the moment she killed Chianti.

So even when a sniper rifle was pointed at her head, Vermouth didn't feel surprised at all.

"This is the second time."

"Vermouth, you killed Calvados and you killed Chianti."

"If you can't explain it clearly today, then don't even think about leaving here alive today."

Vermouth heard the man behind her say.

"Oh."

Vermouth chuckled and ignored the threat from the person behind her.

"You've become much more talkative now, Korn."

The man who was pointing the gun at Vermouth at this moment was Chianti's dead partner, codenamed Korn.

Korn is the sniper in the organization.

Like Chianti, he has always hated Vermouth because of the death of another sniper in the organization, Calvados.

After he learned that his partner Chianti had died while on a mission with Vermouth,

Korn's hatred for Vermouth grew.

When he heard that Vermouth was actually mocking him, he increased the strength of the hand holding the sniper rifle and pressed the muzzle hard against Vermouth's head.

At the same time, his right hand finger was already pressing the trigger.

As long as he applied a little force with his index finger, the head of the woman in front of him who seemed to be immortal like a witch would be pierced by the bullet.

"Answer me."

Korn again gave brief orders.

Vermouth, who raised her hands, sighed and said softly:

"It has nothing to do with me. Rather, Chianti is the one who is holding back."

"If I hadn't been distracted by Chianti, I wouldn't have ended up like this."

"What did you say?!"

Vermouth's words made Korn extremely angry in an instant.

But just as he was about to make a move, he saw Vermouth in front of him suddenly squat down and get away from his gun.

And in the next moment, Korn felt a violent impact on his jaw.

He was grabbed hard on the cheekbone by Vermouth from bottom to top.

At the same time, the sniper rifle in his hand was tightly grasped by Vermouth's other hand, unable to move at all.

Even though Vermouth's injuries have not yet healed, her fighting ability is still much stronger than Korn, the sniper.

"I told you, Chianti is the one holding us back."

"Besides, Calvados committed suicide. What does it have to do with me?"

Vermouth looked at Korn in front of her with a grim expression.

She was already upset about the failed software transaction.

As a result, this loser actually dared to come and threaten me.

"Let go."

Just when Vermouth and Korn were in a stalemate, another cold voice rang out.

There was a tone in this voice that could not be refused.

This voice also caused Vermouth, who was exerting force with her right hand, to stop her movements instantly.

At the same time, Vermouth also caught a glimpse with the corner of her eye that another pistol was pointed at her temple.

The owner of this voice, Vermouth, is also no stranger. She is the third in command of the organization - Gin.

Vermouth released her right hand that was holding Korn's jaw and her left hand that was holding the sniper rifle.

As her hand moved away, a red palm print appeared on Korn's chin.

"Gin."

Vermouth called out to the man beside her.

But Gin didn't seem to take away the gun that was pointed at Vermouth's temple just because she let go.

"Korn is right. Shouldn't you explain what happened a few days ago?"

"Rum and I haven't heard about any missions you and Chianti have received. So what have you been doing during this period?"

Gin, who was wearing a black wide-brimmed fedora and had flowing silver hair, spoke in a deep voice.

Vermouth knew.

Unlike Korn, who only threatened himself but did not dare to actually shoot.

Although Gin did not have the power to give orders to himself, he really dared to shoot at himself.

However, it is impossible for Vermouth to tell Gin about her plan.

Anyway, Chianti has no evidence.

She has been preparing for the software for a long time, and it absolutely cannot be exposed at this time.

"I don't think I need to explain this to you, Gin?"

"I just want to know, what on earth did you do to cause two people to go and only one to come back?"

"This has nothing to do with you."

Vermouth still rejected Gin's question with cold words.

And she also felt that the pistol that was originally just pointing at her temple was now completely pressed against her temple.

"Vermouth, you are not planning to betray the organization and do something behind the scenes, are you?"

Gin keenly noticed something strange about Vermouth.

"You're overthinking that, Gin."

"It's just my mission. There's no need to make it public to you."

Gin stared sharply into Vermouth's eyes.

Vermouth's gaze also did not retreat in the slightest, and she made a firm expression as if she had a secret mission.

Vermouth knew that Gin was much smarter than herself.

If he revealed the slightest flaw, Gin would probably notice it instantly.

Fortunately, Vermouth has absolute confidence in her acting skills.

Another advantage she has when facing Gin is that she takes orders directly from the boss and has the power to act freely without having to report specifically.

"Then I won't ask about your mission, but you have to explain to me how Chianti died?"

Vermouth saw that Gin had no intention of revealing the matter so easily.

So he said,

"Our action plan was leaked, and Chianti and I were ambushed by the public security."

"Chianti was already unable to move and I was injured."

"In order to prevent Chianti from being caught and leaking the organization's intelligence, I had no choice but to kill her."

When Vermouth finished speaking, Korn's eyes widened.

He gradually tightened his grip on the sniper rifle, trying hard to suppress the anger in his chest.

At the same time, Toru Amuro, who had just arrived at the organization and happened to hear all this, narrowed his eyes suddenly.
