The Working Emperor starts with Conan

Chapter 447 Rum's Trick
Ireland, a rare honest person in the organization.

While most members of the organization were still tripping each other up and using dirty tricks, Ireland would limit himself to telling tales to the leader.

In a normal company, this could be considered a means of workplace competition, but this is in the Black Organization.

Telling tales is useless at all, but even if it doesn't work, Ireland remains persistent.

Just say that this person is always dishonest and that's it.

I never thought that under the rough appearance of Ireland, there is such a law-abiding heart.

It's good to follow the rules. Rum likes people who follow the rules.

Although rum has a very cold relationship with Ireland right now, Ireland is even about to be mixed with gin.

But is this a problem?

This is obviously not a problem.

Although Ireland almost died because of Rum's misjudgment, it didn't die, did it? Moreover, he sent people to actively save (eliminate) Ireland afterwards.

In an organization, as long as it doesn't involve life and death, it's not a big deal.

What counts as a life-or-death situation? For example, Pisco died indirectly at the hands of Gin.

In fact, what Rum couldn't understand the most was why Ireland was so close to Spiatus.

It was Yuanshan Fei who directly executed Pisco. It is necessary to avenge a grievance and revenge a vengeance. Even if Ireland is looking for someone to avenge, it should not let Yuanshan Fei go.

This is also the main reason why Rum chose Ireland to return to Tokyo. Ireland is an outsider and does not get along with Toyama Tobi and Gin. It can even be said that he has a grudge against Ireland for murdering his father.

Even if you think hard, these three people can't be mixed up. At the very least, Ireland should not have any good intentions towards Toyama Tobi and Gin.

But what is the result? Ireland first fought fiercely with Toyama Tobi, and now even stood on the same front with Gin.

Damn, is there any reason in this world anymore?

Rum's overconfidence caused him to be at a disadvantage at the moment, but it doesn't matter. Only by knowing shame and then being brave enough can he be a qualified second-in-command of an organization.

Rum is trying to win Ireland over to its side, and Ireland and Gin currently seem to be working closely together.

But Rum was well aware that there was an irreparable rift between Ireland and gin, and that was the death of Pisco.

Furthermore, he was very sure that his intelligence team could not handle all the Gin in the room, which meant that the more stable Gin's position was in the boss's heart, the less channels Ireland would have for advancement.

By cooperating with Gin, Ireland can get no substantial benefits at all - after all, Ireland is a leading player in its overseas branches.

He definitely didn't return to the Tokyo branch for petty gains. What benefits could Gin offer? Nothing more than some cash, some status in the action team, and an easy job.

Is this what the Irish lack?

Definitely not!
As long as gin stands in the way, Ireland will have no real hope of progress. This is what Rum feels he can rely on most to convince Ireland.
-
"Rum, I thought all you were thinking about now was how to kill me." Ireland sat opposite Rum, making no secret of his malice towards Rum.

He looked at Rum unscrupulously, and that look made Rum feel quite uncomfortable.

You bastard, are you sure you can defeat me?
Although he wanted to tear Ireland into pieces, on the surface, Rum was as calm as a spring breeze, completely ignoring Ireland's malicious eyes. "I think there may be some misunderstandings between us. Of course, I am not here to clear up this misunderstanding.

Ireland, I have always believed that misunderstandings will naturally be resolved with the test of time.

But now, how about we talk about working together?"

Rum's shamelessness shocked Ireland. He didn't expect that after they had fought to such an extent, Rum would still ask him to cooperate?
When did Rum start to behave like this?

As the saying goes, when something is out of the ordinary, there must be something wrong. Ireland decided to continue testing the waters.

"Cooperation? How can we cooperate? Like last time when I was almost killed by you?
Rum, do you think I'd fall into the same trap twice?"

“It’s because I believe you won’t fall into the same trap twice that I proposed this cooperation.

Don't worry, you will be the one leading this cooperation, and I just need to share part of the credit for the mission results."

Rum knew very well what Ireland was afraid of. He was not a positive character in this incident. His behavior was almost equivalent to selling Ireland directly to the police.

Although this is not the original intention of rum.

If Rum wants to re-establish a cooperative relationship with Ireland, it will have to give up some initiative.

At least Ireland must be given the right to decide whether the mission should be carried out or not. To put it bluntly, it means making decisions on the spot and acting according to one's own convenience.

Ireland was surprised that Rum gave up command, but he was just surprised and not moved.

Although the command power is good, the prospects of cooperating with Rum are not clear now. He and Gin have a good cooperation, and as long as he defeats Rum, he will naturally get a share of the benefits.

Even if he couldn't return to his original branch, he could use these resources to gain a foothold in Tokyo or other cities in Japan.

Ireland doesn't think there is anything wrong with his brain for giving up the benefits that are within his grasp to fight for an unknown future.

Even if he didn't cooperate with Gin, he would rather "live together" with Toyama Tobi than come to Rum to suffer.

Seeing Ireland's thoughts, Rum immediately started to persuade him earnestly: "Do you really think Spiatus is a pushover?
Why do you think I forced you back to Tokyo? Why did I hold back Spiatus?
That's because Spiatus is too uncontrollable!"

In order to increase the persuasiveness of his words, Rum directly took out some documents and handed them to Ireland.

These materials are all about Spiatus, and Ireland cannot access them due to insufficient authority.

The above are basically all the "glorious achievements" that Toyama Tobira has made since his debut.

Ireland was very curious, so he flipped through the pages in the office. Finally, he looked up at Rum in surprise: "Are these all true?"

"Of course!" Rum said affirmatively: "These are all the data I just retrieved."

Ireland was silent for a while, then he grinned and sighed: "According to the information, isn't Spiatus a fucking psychopath?
No, has the quality of the organization's current cadres reached this level? "

Rum was also a little uncomfortable, so he tried to save face: "When Spiatus is not crazy, he is still quite normal."

After all, Spiatus was once favored by Rum, and he couldn't admit that there was something wrong with his vision.
