Chapter 56 Princess Carry Matsuda to Oita!

Chapter 56 Princess Carry Matsuda to Oita!

Gin doesn't usually lie to China, unless he really hates Rai.

Yes, he's awful.

It's not because of the rumors circulating in the organization that it's because Rei's appearance, personality, and aura are similar to Gin's that Gin dislikes him. Rather, it's because Chika has been targeting Rei for years. By extension, she also dislikes him. Gin dislikes everyone Chika dislikes.

Now that China doesn't dislike Rai anymore, Gin still thinks Rai is no good at anything. He's too good at sweet-talking, and even though he has a girlfriend, he still talks in a flirtatious way, like a black, long-haired fox. What if China gets snatched away by that thieving fox?

When Chika returned from her mission abroad, Gin's disgust for Rai reached its peak—she was an undercover agent!

He investigated when Rae joined the organization, and the small details that he hadn't paid attention to at the time came to light one by one, making Gin increasingly dislike Rae.

Back then, Ray's car accident, his romance, his accidental stumble upon the organization and his forced entry... all these little actions were a complete scam from beginning to end.

Judging from his undercover work, his skill level is very high, and Gin has to admire him.

According to China's friends, Lai is not qualified at all.

He used staged accidents to join the organization, deceived Akemi Miyano's feelings, and climbed the social ladder by relying on women.

While there may be some exaggeration involved, Rae's current success within the organization is undeniably due in no small part to Akemi Miyano.

If Ray succeeds in his undercover mission and the organization is purged, Miyano Akemi, who is also an outer member, will also be purged.

If his undercover operation fails and his identity is exposed, Miyano Akemi will face certain death.

Did he ever consider Akemi Miyano's future from beginning to end?

If he could manipulate Miyano Akemi back then, he can manipulate Chinatsu now. If Chinatsu hadn't tried so hard to stop him, Gin would have killed him without hesitation.

So, of course he was happy to help those two scheming girls to take down Lai Yi.

"Gin, I never expected you to have such a twisted sense of humor." Ray's expression was one of disbelief.

Gin scoffed, his tone cold and laced with deep malice: "I don't have time to put on this act with you. Just behave yourself."

Lei's expression was even more indescribable.

Gin looked at his sister and, as expected, saw that China looked knowing and her gaze toward Rai was even more displeased.

He deserved it.

No matter what tricks or schemes Bourbon and Scotland play, they are ultimately members of the organization, and all they want is for China to take care of them.

As an undercover agent, what makes you think you can compete with them?

Gin's fingers gently caressed the Beretta at his waist, his killing intent toward Rai growing stronger. If Chika hadn't been there, he would have at least made a few holes in Rai's body before killing him.

"Gin!" With a cheerful shout, a soft touch embraced his arm.

Gin removed his fingers from the Beretta.

"Teach me, teach me! How about you teach me close combat?" Takanashi Chinatsu looked at him with bright, sparkling eyes.

Little liar.

Gin muttered to himself, he had never seen China so keen on close combat before, it was clearly a deliberate attempt to distract Rai.

However, China's skills are indeed lacking. She can handle ordinary people without any problem, but if she encounters someone from the organization, or even someone from the intelligence team, she will have a hard time.

"You are weak, Black Cherry."

That's why I need you to teach me!

"I won't show any mercy," Gin said calmly.

Takanashi Chinatsu looked at him defiantly and said loudly, "Don't underestimate me, Gin!"

Half an hour later.

Takanashi Chika lay on the ground, refusing to get up no matter how much Gin pulled her. She hugged his legs and kicked them repeatedly, actually circling around him like that.

"Get up!" Gin said sternly.

"No, this is the end for today, this is the end!" Takanashi Chinatsu almost cried out.

It hurts so much, it really hurts so much!

"I didn't hit you." Gin's tone was tinged with helplessness.

"Stretching hurts a lot, okay!" Takanashi Chinatsu's tears fell, and they really did fall.

Damn it, who invented stretching?

Gin didn't fight her or make her do weight training. After she warmed up, he started helping her stretch.

Her tendons were about to snap—

Unfortunately, Gin was very knowledgeable in this area. Unlike a novice, he wasn't very careful and used extra force each time, stretching her until she felt like she was about to die before stopping.

She's not that flexible anymore!

"My leg is broken, Gin, really. My calf is shaking right now. Did the tendon get torn?" Takanashi Chinatsu's eyes were red and swollen, and tears kept falling.

“The tendons aren’t that fragile. I know my limits. A broken leg can’t run that fast.” Gin pressed down on her kicking leg.

"But it really hurts!" Takanashi Chinatsu felt like a fish out of water, her body writhing and struggling on the beach in agony.

"Get up first, everyone's looking over here," Gin said in a low voice.

Chika Takanashi ignored him, finally stopping her kicking, but her arms remained tightly wrapped around Gin's legs, refusing to get up no matter what.

She wouldn't listen. Clearly, no one dared to look at Gin without him giving her a look, and no one dared to laugh at her.

As for being mocked behind her back... how many times has she been laughed at behind her back? Anyway, she'll just pretend it doesn't exist unless people do it to her face.

"It's only been twenty-eight minutes." Gin showed her the time on his phone and even had the patience to reason with her: "We agreed beforehand that we would practice for two hours today."

Takanashi Chika gasped, wrapping her arms around her legs even tighter. She was going to die in less than half an hour; if she stretched for two hours, would she even survive?

"If you don't stretch your muscles, your movements won't be flexible. This is all about building a foundation, for your own good."

Chinatsuka Takanashi wouldn't let go, even if it meant death. She thought, "Studying is for the child's good, after all. What child truly loves studying?" Anyway, she didn't care; she didn't want to practice anymore, she was going to run away right now!

“Gin, isn’t the intensity too high? Black Cherry hasn’t trained before, so we should proceed gradually,” Scotland said, coming over to speak up for her.

Chika nods her head vigorously, "That's right, that's right, we have to take it step by step. How can we start with such a high intensity right away?"

Gin glanced at Scotland indifferently and asked, "High intensity? I've been an instructor at the training camp. Have you? I know how much she can handle."

After Gin finished speaking, he used force to lift Takanashi Chinatsu up, forcing Chinatsu's arms, which were wrapped around his legs, to separate.

"But...but...I really can't." Takanashi Chinatsu cried, gasping for breath.

Gin suddenly loosened his grip on Chika Takanashi.

"Can't we train again tomorrow? I can't take it anymore, Gin." Tears streamed down her face. If Gin hadn't been holding her, she would have collapsed from exhaustion.

Takanashi Chinatsu heard a clear sigh: "If you proceed step by step like that, how long will it take you to become proficient?"

"But you're too strong, I really can't take it." Takanashi Chinatsu continued to sob.

"Can't you just bear it?"

"If I can hold it in, I... I won't cry!" Takanashi Chinatsu felt more and more aggrieved. It wasn't that she couldn't hold it in; she had been enduring it for the first ten minutes, she really was enduring it.

But then... then...

She was already crying, but Gin kept going; she was screaming in agony, but Gin still wouldn't stop.

She couldn't take it, she really couldn't take it. She had never suffered like this before.

"I should have signed you up for dance lessons back then," Gin said regretfully, ruffling her hair. "Let's skip it today."

Takanashi Chika paused in her sobs, noticing the heartache in Gin's eyes through the gaps in his disheveled hair.

"Really?

"But we have to continue tomorrow."

Chinatsuka Takanashi trembled, her instincts resisting, but reason gave her the courage to ask, "Can it not be two hours?"

"It's also half an hour."

Chizuru Takanashi breathed a sigh of relief, and the fear in her heart lessened somewhat.

Thank goodness, she really was going to die in two hours.

“Let me help her to the side to rest for a while,” Scotland said softly.

Gin glanced at him, ignored him, and helped China to sit down on a bench by the side of the field.

The chairs in the training area weren't comfortable; they were made of metal and were rock hard. But at that moment, Takanashi Chika didn't care about that. She sat down shakily and then lay down.

Her legs...her arms...her waist...

Gin's stretching was all-encompassing, and Takanashi Chinatsu felt as if her entire body no longer belonged to her.

Gin handed her a bottle of water, then went back to the court to train, and even called on Ray to spar with him.

Chinatsu Takanashi watched from afar, but the wheelchair suddenly blocked her view.

"China, let me turn it on for you. Although my leg is still not working, my hand is fine now." Bourbon smiled as he helped China turn on the tap.

"Shall I rub it for you?" Scotland asked gently.

"Rub your arm." Takanashi Chinatsu didn't refuse; her arm really hurt.

Of course, her back and legs were also extremely painful, but since Scotland is a man, she decided to go back and massage them herself.

Gin's training was very professional, and the Scottish massage was also very professional. Takanashi Chika felt her arms being massaged little by little, and the places that were just in excruciating pain were now able to be endured.

Just lying here with two men serving her, theoretically Takanashi Chinatsu should be very happy and proud right now, but the pain in her body makes her completely unable to be happy.

Help!

Does Gin's training have to be this painful every day?

Has Gin forgotten their relationship? She's his own sister, his own flesh and blood!

After complaining, Takanashi Chika could only swallow her bitterness silently. Of course, she knew that Gin meant well. After all, the stronger she was, the more at ease Gin would feel. After so many years in the organization, Gin couldn't possibly be so naive as to think that raising her into a delicate little princess would make her happy.

Wouldn't she be completely powerless to fight back if something happened to her?

As for her luck... luck might have been useful in the past, but recently, it seems her good luck has met its match.

With the doors and windows closed and all distractions eliminated, Rum turned on his computer and requested a video call with Karasuma Renya.

The video call connected, and unsurprisingly, the other end of the call was completely black.

Rum didn't mind and reported on his own: "Sir, I found out what you asked me to investigate. Morofushi Takaaki does have a younger brother named Morofushi Kagemitsu. His brother also entered the police academy, but his file is currently hidden. I had an informant planted in the government investigate, and that's how I found out that he joined the Public Security Bureau and is currently using the alias Scotland, and is in our organization."

“Scottish was indeed an undercover agent,” Karasuma Renya said with amusement.

“Sir, you are wise,” Rum said, though his heart trembled slightly.

That's it, that feeling of omniscience and omnipotence that instills fear.

Rum not only checked Scotland's identity, but also reviewed almost all of the man's missions after he joined the organization, going through everything that could be recorded, but found absolutely no clues.

The Scottish files were so poor that even if you gave them to Gin or anyone in the intelligence team, you wouldn't be able to find anything wrong with them. Yet, the gentleman suspected Scotland.

Not only that, the gentleman even gave him directions for his investigation, which allowed him to dig deeper and deeper until he finally uncovered Scotland's true identity.

How did the gentleman do that? How did he know Scottish identity? It's terrifying. Whenever Rum had any ideas, the gentleman would suddenly appear and give him a rude awakening, just like this time. He seemed to control everything, to monitor everything, making Rum dare not have the slightest disloyal thought.

"Black Cherry is indeed very lucky. Scotland has been infiltrating the organization for several years without being detected, but Black Cherry exposed his identity not long after taking him away. She really is our organization's lucky star."

Rum was absolutely furious. He was the one who had put in so much effort and thought into the investigation, yet his boss preferred Black Cherry. Besides a bit of luck, what did Black Cherry have that could compare to him?

Black Cherry can't expect to stay out of this.

Rum hardened his heart, but his voice became even more steady: "Sir, Black Cherry deliberately recruited Scotland, perhaps because she knew Scotland's identity and that she had always harbored rebellious intentions towards the organization."

"This is also my fault for not doing my job well. I shouldn't have killed Smino so easily in the first place."

Upon hearing this, Rum immediately replied, "Smino is an undercover agent, sir, there is absolutely no problem with your decision!"

"Although my daughter and I have been estranged for a short time, I believe that as long as I give Black Cherry the best of everything, she will eventually realize who is the best person for her."

Rum's vision went black.

gentlemen!

You've been fooled by the black cherry; you've definitely been deceived by her!

In other aspects, Mr. Ming always appears wise and capable, and his occasional strokes of genius are even more admirable. Even when the organization is at a disadvantage, he can turn the tide. So why does he become so brainless when it comes to the Black Cherry incident?

He simply gave up thinking and trusted Black Cherry without any reason!

Since that's the case, don't blame him.

Rum suddenly spoke, his words aimed directly at Black Cherry: "Sir, I believe Black Cherry has betrayed the organization."

Karasuma Renya laughed heartily and said, "Rum, you still don't like her. It's normal for Black Cherry to be a little bad at judging people because she's young. She wouldn't really betray the organization, after all, the organization is her home. If anyone's to blame, it's Scotland for being too good at disguising herself and deceiving Black Cherry."

“No, sir, I suspect that Black Cherry has already contacted the police and reached a cooperation agreement.” Rum’s eyes were sinister, and the charges he had gathered made him want to send Black Cherry to her death right now.

Karasuma Renya said helplessly, "Even if you don't like her..."

"Sir, I dug deep along the line in Scotland and discovered that he has a childhood friend named Rei Furuya, who also went to police academy, whose file was also hidden, and who is currently infiltrating our organization under the alias Tooru Amuro. He is Bourbon, another subordinate recruited by Black Cherry. Black Cherry only has three subordinates in total, two of whom are undercover agents sent by the Public Security Bureau. Do you really think this is a coincidence?" Rum finished speaking very quickly, his hunched body straightening up involuntarily, with a sense of triumph.

You'll see this time you're dead!

Rum hated Black Cherry. He had hated her before because she was so disrespectful to him and loved to play pranks on him.

But now that he wants Black Cherry dead, Rum is doing it more for his own benefit than for revenge.

The master clearly values ​​Black Cherry. If he were to actually elevate her to a higher position, would his future be any better? Therefore, he must seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow to Black Cherry. Even if the master is reluctant to kill her, he would not dare to entrust her with any important responsibilities. At most, he would let her continue to be a figurehead without any real power.

Karasuma Renya paused, and after a long while, asked, "Is the news confirmed?"

Rum's eyes flashed coldly: "I will send the evidence to you, sir. Two of the three subordinates are undercover agents. I have reason to suspect that this was all orchestrated by the Public Security Bureau. Scotland must have revealed her identity to her and reached a cooperation agreement, which is why Black Cherry deliberately recruited undercover agents to carry out her plan. She betrayed you, sir."

Karasuma Renya remained silent for a long time.

Rum stared at the pitch-black screen, his ambition stirring within him.

Sir, even you have moments you can't foresee.

Although this matter is too bizarre and it is normal that it could not be predicted, as long as the gentleman is not absolutely omniscient and omnipotent, there are some things he dares to fight for.

But soon, his burgeoning ambition was forcibly suppressed.

"The two of them work for the National Police Agency and the Metropolitan Police Department, it's impressive that you were able to find out."

As if struck by a sudden, heavy blow to the chest, Rum turned deathly pale, a breath stuck in his throat.

The sir knows!

The gentleman actually knew!

It turns out that the gentleman knew all along, but he just didn't say anything, wanting to give Black Cherry a chance. The gentleman is still as strong as before, still as knowledgeable and in control as before.

That tiny flame called "ambition" was crushed and extinguished in an instant, leaving no trace.

“But I don’t think Black Cherry would betray me.”

Rum dared not speak. The blow he had just suffered was too great. The fear of being constantly overpowered and dominated by his master made his heart tremble and his limbs shake.

"Rum, wanna make a bet?" the man asked with a smile.

Despite the complete darkness, Rum seemed to see the shrewd, aloof old man again. The old man's face was deeply lined, yet he always scrutinized everyone with a playful, almost mocking gaze, as if looking at any cat or dog.

It was as if he had never aged, and was forever that majestic lion.

They seemed to be from different species. Not only him, but even Mr. Rum's own daughter, Vermouth, never truly caught his eye. The feeling of being smiled but sending chills down his spine made Rum's heart pound.

No, no, refuse him!

Don't bet, anyone who bets with Mr. won't win!

No one can win against Mr. Bet, just as no one can ever beat Black Cherry.

"I will give China a test. I bet she hasn't betrayed the organization, and I bet she can pass the test. If I win, you don't need to say another word about China becoming the organization's successor." Compared to the smile, what was hidden deeper and more intense was a cold warning.

"Sir, I..."

"If she fails the test and is truly determined to betray me, then I will not make her my heir." He said this casually.

Rum's words trailed off abruptly.

He realized that this was a golden opportunity to ostracize Black Cherry or even deliver a fatal blow to her.

Even if he loses, it's nothing; it's just maintaining the status quo. He didn't have the ability to stop Black Cherry from taking over anyway, and no one in the organization had the ability to disobey Mr.

But once you win, things will change dramatically.

“No one has ever bet against you, sir,” Rum murmured softly.

So, shall we bet?

“Of course. After all, I also want to know what Black Cherry is thinking. The gentleman has been so good to her, she can’t be ungrateful.” Rum lowered his head, also concealing the frost in his eyes.

Although the man never mentioned punishing Black Cherry, Rum was already quite content as long as she wasn't allowed to take over the organization.

The gentleman is indeed very capable and omniscient; there is almost no chance of winning a bet against him.

However, Rum didn't believe that Black Cherry had no ulterior motives in recruiting undercover agents. Her adoptive father had died at the hands of the organization, and she occasionally showed some hatred for the organization, so she must be anything but docile.

In the evening, Gin personally drove Chinatsu Kotori home.

Chinatsu Takanashi was slumped in the back row, her body still aching terribly, and it felt like it wouldn't get better for days.

The car stopped, and Gin turned around to ask, "Can you walk by yourself?"

“Okay.” Takanashi Chika struggled to her feet and limped off the bus.

"Your body isn't up to par; you'll need to train more in the future."

Upon hearing this, Takanashi Chika's face immediately fell. More practice? She was practically exhausted from training today; Jin-ge's demands were far too high.

“Gin…” She leaned her head through the driver’s side window, dragging out the last syllable weakly, and complained in a muffled voice, “I’m not trying to be an assassin, I just want more ways to protect myself.”

"Self-preservation also requires a foundation."

Chika pouted, knowing she was wrong, and sullenly lifted her head off the car, stumbling as she took a step.

Gin immediately opened the car door to help her, but quickly stopped.

Matsuda Jinpei helped Takanashi Chinatsu up and down, scrutinizing Gin with a wary look before asking in a low voice, "Chinatsu, are you feeling unwell?"

"Matsuda-nii? You're here so early today." Takanashi Chinatsu looked at him in surprise.

Upon hearing the nickname "Matsuda-san," Gin's face darkened.

"It's alright, nothing's wrong." Matsuda Jinpei helped Chinatsu up, but his eyes remained fixed on Gin.

Gin snorted coldly, rolled up the car window, and drove away.

Watching the black Porsche drive away, Matsuda Jinpei slowly turned his gaze away and asked China, "Are you injured?"

"It's not an injury, I just overdid it today." Since Matsuda Jinpei was strong enough, Takanashi Chinatsu simply hung half of her body on him and pitifully cried out, "It hurts so much, I can't take it anymore, Matsuda-nii, help me upstairs."

Matsuda Jinpei, however, seemed startled and instinctively took a half-step back, moving his body away from Takanashi Chinatsu: "Don't..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Takanashi Chika leaned against him as if she had no bones.

"Please, please." Takanashi Chinatsu clasped her hands together and waved them haphazardly, completely oblivious to everything else.

Matsuda Jinpei's gaze darkened. "China, my apologies."

Takanashi Chika looked at him blankly, then suddenly felt dizzy and was lifted up by Matsuda Jinpei.

Her legs were draped over his strong arms, her head resting quietly on Matsuda Jinpei's shoulder. She was gently supported by his warm embrace, and a tingling, itchy feeling, even more unbearable than stretching, swept through her body, making her face burn instantly.

-----------------------

Author's Note: Matsuda Jinpei is secretly climbing the ranks!

While everyone else was still enjoying their tea, Matsuda had already won the heart of his beloved!
