Chapter 114 The Nightmare Begins

"Whatever he wants to do, everyone must cooperate fully with him. Remember, this applies to everything. During this period, he will be in charge of you."

“I understand, brother. But do you think the boss might have some other purpose in suddenly doing this?” Vodka asked curiously.

Unexpectedly, Gin suddenly opened his eyes, his cold gaze fixed on Vodka, putting him under great psychological pressure.

"Brother, I know I was wrong. I asked too much. I'm sorry, brother!"

Upon hearing this, Gin slowly closed his eyes. If Vodka hadn't been his trusted confidant, he would have killed him without hesitation based on those words.

Those in their line of work don't have many "whys," and they certainly shouldn't spend their days trying to guess what their superiors are thinking. This is a major taboo for frontline operational staff.

Especially his boss, whom he had always respected. Although the boss hadn't told him why he did it, he had always been a smart man.

This is something you can figure out with a little thought.

When his boss asked him to go abroad for a few months, he refused. He knew Su Xingbo's personality; he was incredibly lazy and would never walk if he could drive.

If he were only going abroad on a mission, Su Xingbo would not agree to temporarily take his place. He would use Su Xingbo's "friendship" with him to make him feel guilty.

He paid the price of his own injury so that Su Xingbai would accept the position without question.

It was supposed to take some time, but today Su Xingbo came to tell him that he was going to work in logistics, so let's just start right away.

While the two gunfight broke up, Su Xingbo hid behind cover and couldn't see him, so he decisively shot himself in the abdomen.

And so, Su Xingbai was forced into this situation.

On the way back, Su Xingbo became increasingly agitated and sped all the way back to the villa.

That is, the villa on the mountaintop.

He desperately needed a way to vent his frustrations, and he decided to channel his energy into digging a tunnel.

A month later.

He has been living alone in the mountaintop villa for most of the past month, and Ayako and Sonoko haven't had time to come up and keep him company.

The Black Organization completed its mission exceptionally well, and many members had a more direct and positive change in their impression of Caesar.

Meanwhile, Ayako began selling the phones as planned, and the first batch of 10,000 phones sold out quickly as expected. News of supply falling short of demand spread from various regions, and many people were extremely disappointed at not being able to buy one.

This news quickly spread through various social media platforms, and more people became excited about the phone.

With limited daily releases, the phone's popularity continued to rise. Other phone manufacturers attempted to compete by launching discounted models, but none could match the popularity of Su Xingbo's phone.

Anyone with common sense can see the difference between a keypad phone and a full touchscreen phone. Why spend money on a worse one when there's a better option?

Some people bought feature phones because they felt the new phone was beyond their means, but they later regretted it.

Finally, one day when the sales failed to sell out within an hour, Su Xingbo decisively ordered Lingzi to release all the inventory and at the same time start recruiting international agents.

He didn't participate in the sales of the phones after that, because what was needed later was negotiation, and the Suzuki zaibatsu had plenty of capable people under their command, so there was no need for him to get involved.

In addition, Rum seems to have some important mission recently, and might need their help, so he told his team to get some rest these next few days.

Be ready to respond to this mission at any time.

at the same time.

Curaçao was driving frantically to escape because two cars were chasing her, one on each side.

As Curaçao drove, she pondered how to escape. She knew that if she were caught, endless torment awaited her.

Suddenly, she saw an abandoned factory ahead and an idea came to her.

She jerked the steering wheel, and the car sped straight into the factory. The two pursuing cars followed closely behind, and Curaçao used the factory's complex terrain to weave through various pieces of old, abandoned equipment.

Seeing that the two cars behind her were relentlessly pursuing her, she seized the opportunity, decisively jumped out of the car, and then detonated the bomb that had been planted in the car beforehand.

"Oh!"

A loud explosion ripped through the air, damaging the pursuers' vehicle. Curaçao seized the opportunity to escape into the factory and hid in a secluded corner.

But she knew the enemy wouldn't give up so easily. Just then, Su Xingbo received a call from Rum.

"Caesar, something has happened in Curaçao."

Curaçao? He remembered her; that girl with heterochromatic eyes, the one who was quite pretty.

"What happened?" Su Xingbai asked.

"She just sent me a message today saying there's a mole in the organization, and I haven't heard back yet. I suspect something's happened to her." It turns out the Black Organization suspects Curaçao knows some major secret, and this secret is related to the future of the entire organization.

what? !!

Isn't that too ahead of its time?

Or has he been sleeping for a long time, and is this the beginning of a complete nightmare?

But Shuichi Akai has already been killed by him. How could Bourbon possibly have chased Curaçao so far that he didn't even have time to reply to messages?

Just as he was lost in thought, Rum started speaking again.

“I need your help now. My people have found out that the last place the Curaçao car disappeared was inside a factory, which has been sealed off by the police. I hope you can go there in person to see what the situation is.”

"Oh, I see."

"I've sent you the address."

"received."

After hanging up the phone, Su Xingbo grabbed his coat and drove to the address Rum had given him.

He wanted to figure out what was going on, firstly, who was chasing Curaçao, and secondly, what information Curaçao knew.

Rum's statement was too general.

soon.

Su Xingbo rushed to the scene, only to find it in a mess, with police guarding the area and barricades blocking the way in.

But this didn't stump him; if he squeezed in a solution, he could always find one.

This is not.

He found a place with only a cordon and no police officers guarding it.

He easily slipped in, and once inside, he cautiously looked around. Before long, he arrived at the site of the car explosion.

There were too many police officers here, and he couldn't get close to the scene of the car explosion. With no other option, he quietly went up to the third floor of the factory.

From this position on the third floor, one can see the scene of the car explosion. In order to see the situation downstairs as quickly as possible, he did not check this place carefully.
