Gin likes me?

Because the joints were locked, it was difficult for Saburo Uozuka to exert force to pull his arms out at this moment, which also resulted in Saburo Uozuka's front door being wide open at this moment.

The female agent did not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

"Bang!" Tongues of fire exploded, enveloping Uozuka Saburo's body as he flew backwards. Looking at Uozuka Saburo flying backwards, the female agent did not show any relief at all. She did not even have time to pull out the dagger at her waist. She quickly moved in the opposite direction and crashed through the glass window, finding a new cover for herself, and then replaced the bullets in the pistol.

Yes, as a very good shooter, she was able to tell that her previous shot was dodged by Uozuka Saburo in a very awkward posture.

And the sound coming from the restaurant later confirmed this.

"Well done, you were able to come up with such an excellent action in such a short time. I believe you can really cause trouble for the big sister."

Holding another spare pistol in his hand, Saburo Uozuka's back and waist ached from the twisting of his body structure to avoid the bullet. He steadied his breathing and looked at the window that was knocked open by the female agent.

"You are amazing. You were able to dodge that bullet. You seem to me to be much more dangerous than Gin."

"Tsk." His eyes kept changing. Although his dagger had pierced into the female agent's body, the two of them had now distanced themselves from each other again. The other party had also replaced the bullets in his pistol. Uozuka Saburo's current physical condition was not perfect. If he rashly rushed out to start a second round of gunfight, Uozuka Saburo could not say that he would be able to hold his ground.

not to mention.

After listening to Liu Hu's warning voice in the headphones and the news conveyed by Kimura Ying that Vermouth had been dealt with, Uozuka Saburo knew that his operation today might end here.

only.

"My name is Vodka, tell me what your name is, Miss FBI Agent!~"

"Akai Hidei, this is the name of the person who will catch you, you must remember it."

453: His name is Vodka

"Xiuyi, how are you?"

After standing guard with a gun for a long time, until her colleague found her through the locator on her car, Akai Hidei let down her guard and began to endure the pain and fatigue that her body showed after her highly concentrated attention eased.

Waving to the people behind him to carefully explore the front, James stood beside Akai Hidei with a pistol in hand, looking at Akai Hidei with concern, who looked in a bad condition under the flashlight.

"Fortunately, apart from some minor injuries, there is no big problem." Akai Hidei put away the pistol with a smile. She did not think that the injuries she suffered today were exaggerated.

On the contrary, she sees it as a demonstration of her abilities.

Akai Hidei had reason to believe that if the person who came to chase Uozuka Saburo today was not herself, then that person would definitely not have suffered only "minor injuries" to the extent that she did.

"Vodka." After muttering the name obtained in the final exchange, Akai Hidei narrowed her eyes and tried to find the useful parts from the information about the organization that she had recorded before.

"What's wrong, Xiuyi? Are you still not feeling well?" James, who was standing next to Akai Hidei, easily noticed that Akai Hidei's expression was a little absent. He immediately grabbed Akai Hidei's arm and wanted to take his excellent subordinate to the car to go to the hospital for a check-up.

"Don't be so nervous, James." Alarmed by her boss's actions, Akai Hidei reluctantly broke free from James's pull, but did not refuse to get in the car with James.

"Well, you were also sniped?" Looking at the car that James parked outside the amusement park, with obvious bullet holes on the body and obvious signs of tire replacement, Akai Hidei whistled frivolously.

"I think you should show more pain when your colleague is being sniped by the enemy." Helplessly looking at Akai Hidei who was sitting in the passenger seat, James started the car and handed over the finishing work in the amusement park to other colleagues.

"So, Black Rat is really dead, right? We have wasted so much time. According to the style of that organization, it is impossible for them to fail."

Leaning on the passenger seat, Akai Hidei rolled down the car window, took out a box of cigarettes from the front drawer of the car, took out a cigarette, lit it and put it in her mouth.

"Shock~cough cough cough!" After taking a deep puff of the cigarette, when the smoke flowed into the lungs through the mouth, Akai Hidei started coughing because she inhaled too hard, which caused the severe pain in her waist and abdomen that had been hit hard by Uozuka Saburo before.

"Yes, our operation this time can be said to have failed. I found the home of the intelligence dealer we were originally going to trade with according to the location you mentioned, but there was only the body of the intelligence dealer and an entire basement full of servers and host computers that were damaged beyond repair." Driving steadily and quickly towards the nearest hospital on the island, James admitted calmly that the operation had failed.

After all, in previous encounters, although they were able to inflict some damage and influence on the organization to which Saburo Uozuka belonged, due to the difference in who came first and who came later, most of the time, their actions were more likely to fail.

"They took action after learning that we wanted to buy Gin's information, but they got the location of Black Rat one step ahead of us, and even provoked a hacker war between the two countries to cover their actions. This organization's methods are as superb as ever~" Compared to James's bitterness and hatred, Akai Hidei, who adjusted her breathing and started smoking, laughed happily.

The failure of this operation is a foregone conclusion. Instead of dwelling on the sadness of this failure, it is better to recover early and prepare for the next battle. This is the attitude that Akai Hidei has developed after fighting the organization for so many years.

"No, to be precise, the rigor and intensity of this operation are much more sophisticated than the organized operations we have encountered before." James' eyes behind the lenses were full of sharpness as he shifted his gaze slightly to look at Akai Hidei, who had blood flowing from a scratch on her cheek.

"Although I know that organization is full of hidden talents, I still can't accept the fact that I met a character who can cause you great harm."

"Squeak~" The car accelerated and ran through a red light. James' meaning was very clear.

"Tell me, who was the person who caused you, Xiuyi, to suffer such a great loss today?"

"He is a very good warrior." Her eyes flickered slightly, and she couldn't help but recall the experience of fighting with Uozuka Saburo in her previous mind. Even Akai Hidei, who has always been confident in her own strength and even a little arrogant, had to admit that Uozuka Saburo posed a great threat to her.

Even Kurosawa Hotaru, who had been entangled with Akai Hidei for two years and was always regarded by her as her greatest rival in this world in her life, had never brought her such a great defeat.

Although he suppressed Uozuka Saburo in the initial gunfight, it was also a fact that due to his negligence, he was dragged into a close combat that was more advantageous to him by Uozuka Saburo and was severely suppressed.

Akai Hidei disdains to make excuses for her failure. Losing is losing, and losing to Uozuka Saburo, Akai Hidei does not feel ashamed.

"Although his marksmanship is not as good as mine and Gin's, his height of about 1.9 meters and his strong body like a black bear, coupled with his superb fighting instincts and skills, suppressed me severely the moment he closed the distance with me. If I hadn't adopted the strategy of exchanging injuries for positions, I might not have survived until you arrived."

"Your level of close combat is very high, right?"

"If I were to say so, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that his close combat skills are at the top of the world."

"...I'm beginning to hope that you said those words to praising your opponent because you lost the game." James opened his eyes and rubbed his brows as if he had a headache. The regret on his face was visible to the naked eye.

"And he calls Gin the big sister."

"...Do you know his identity?"

"Vodka, I exchanged my own name for this. I hope you can give me some useful analysis."

"Vodka?" The steering wheel in his hand shook for a moment. James turned his head and looked at Akai Hidei in surprise.

"It seems you know." Her eyes lit up slightly. Such a reaction from her boss undoubtedly made Akai Hidei happy.

She would also feel depressed if the name she got after being beaten for a long time was of no use at all.

"Actually, you should know this too." Looking at Akai Hidei with a reproachful look, James shook his head helplessly.

"His identity was in the intelligence about the known organization that I gave you, but you didn't even look at it!"

"Wasn't I busy chasing Gin at that time?" Turning her head away somewhat embarrassedly, Akai Hidei had to admit that it was her problem.

But she can argue! As a 23-year-old FBI superstar, Akai Hidei has been shining since she joined James' team. She has grown rapidly with her excellent talent and strength and solved many tasks.

Just when she thought that the so-called difficult problems mentioned by her predecessors were just that, she met an opponent whom she regarded as her lifelong enemy.

Akai Hidei had a feeling that Gin's age must not be too different from hers! Isn't this a person of similar age and strength, but with completely opposite positions, the opponent God has gifted to her?

"So, this is not a reason for you to focus all your attention on Gin and give up recording the other people in the organization!" He glared at Akai Hidei unhappily. Although he knew that the so-called geniuses all had some personality of their own, James still couldn't help but want to punch Akai Hidei on the head at this moment.

"As for Vodka, he is a veteran of that organization. He is very powerful, and his style is tough but also cunning. He caused us a lot of trouble in the several battles between the FBI and that organization."

"But this Vodka is an old Vodka. According to the latest intelligence, he lost his life in an international mission. The person with the name of Vodka in the organization now is his apprentice, a super rookie who is rated second only to Gin in the organization. He and Gin are known as the twin stars of the organization in the Neon region. Some people even think that this Vodka is more dangerous than Gin."

"I already know how powerful he is. What I want to know is, since you can get such information, can't you try harder and get their names as well?"

"What are you looking at? It's not easy to get this information, okay?" James was furious at Akai Hidei's 'that's it' expression. He snorted coldly, but still patiently explained.

"The organization in the Neon Region was originally a new group. We initially planted some people to infiltrate it. We also got some useful positions as undercover agents over the years. However, in the cleanup operation from Rum two years ago, all our FBI undercover agents died. Not only us, but also the CIA and other departments."

"Although we later sent some undercover agents back, only a few of them actually infiltrated. Two years alone is not enough for them to improve their positions. There is no other way."

"That is to say, we in the FBI are currently lacking someone in this organization who can really obtain powerful intelligence, right?" With a slight shake of her eyes, she threw the cigarette out of the window, and leaned back in the car seat with her arms around her chest, but she was no longer interested in talking about that organization.

"Although it's useless, I'll ask you anyway. You should have arranged the arrangements at the airport and the port."

"It has been arranged, but it's just a formality. If we can really catch the elites of that organization with this method, we wouldn't have to run around like this all these years."

"That's right."

. . .

"Succeeded!?"

Not knowing how much Akai Hidei, who was fighting with him, took him seriously, Uozuka Saburo, who had wanted to kill them all in the previous battle to prevent future troubles, left the amusement park quickly and unwillingly after receiving warnings from Kimura Takashi and Liu Hu.

After abandoning Black Rat's sports car, Uozuka Saburo first asked Liu Hu to drive to the place he designated to pick him up, and then drove away Liu Hu's car. After Liu Hu hid his identity and continued to monitor the movements of the FBI station, he drove to the exit of the underground passage where he and Vermouth had left the "Scarlett" villa.

After returning safely to Scarlett's villa from the underground passage, as soon as he opened the secret door, Uozuka Saburo saw Vermouth, who was holding a glass of red wine and even changed into home clothes, looking at him with a smile.

"Of course, everything is solved... huh?" Vermouth, who wanted to make a joke, narrowed her eyes and accurately discovered based on the unusual smell that the clothes on Uozuka Saburo's arm had been stained with blood and changed color.

"Are you injured? Where?" The expression on her face became serious. Vermouth then put the red wine aside, made way for Uozuka Saburo to come out, and kept looking at Uozuka Saburo's body.

"Some minor injuries, just this one on the arm that needs some attention."

With a wave of his hand, Uozuka Saburo picked up the red wine that Vermouth had put down and drank it in one gulp. Then he walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down, signaling Vermouth not to be nervous.

"Vermouth, you are right. That person is really powerful enough to be a rival to the big sister." After Vermouth brought the first aid kit from home, Uozuka Saburo took off his coat, revealing the exposed wound on his arm caused by a dagger, and praised Akai Hidei's ability.

"You had a fight with that girl. No wonder you got hurt." Vermouth took another glass and poured herself a glass of red wine. After confirming that Uozuka Saburo was in good condition, she returned to her initial calmness.

It was just a minor injury on the arm, which was too common for people like them.

"How did I suffer a loss?" With a playful smile on her face, since nothing was wrong with Uozuka Saburo, Vermouth could start her own teasing.

"To be at a disadvantage?" Raising his eyebrows, Uozuka Saburo, who knew Vermouth's bad taste well, snorted disdainfully.

"At least two ribs were broken, internal organs were damaged, wrist bones were fractured, and concussion was unavoidable. Is this considered a loss to me?"

"If Xiaoying knew this news, she would be both happy and angry." Vermouth was stunned by Uozuka Saburo's fierce battle record and froze on the sofa. After a while, she reacted and took a sip of wine with a subtle expression.

"But you are really exaggerating, Brother Uozuka. The person that Xiaoying and I both found difficult actually suffered a great loss at your hands. It seems that you are now more powerful than Xiaoying~"

"You can't say that. I just took advantage of him. If it were a different situation or opportunity, I might not be able to do it so smoothly. That FBI agent named Akai Hidei is really good at shooting."

"Akai Hidei, is this her name?"

"Yes, but these are not important." After moving his arm that had been stitched and bandaged, Uozuka Saburo poured himself another glass of wine and looked at Vermouth seriously.

"If the black rat dies, what should we do next?"

454: Vermouth, you are still a human being!!!

"Regarding this, I first need you to answer a question for me."

With her body falling slightly backward, Vermouth leaned on the sofa and looked at Uozuka Saburo with twinkling eyes, still feeling grateful for the surprising news that Uozuka Saburo had brought her.

Because in the past two years, Vermouth has been working with Kurosawa Hotaru most of the time. When carrying out the tasks assigned by the organization several times, they are always hindered and affected by their arch-enemy, the FBI. Among them, the one who has always stood at the forefront is James Blake, the organization's old rival, and the special operations team he controls.

Akai Hidei. Before Uozuka Saburo said this name, Vermouth had never figured out the name of the person who followed James and was supposed to be a newcomer, but brought a lot of trouble to her and Kurosawa Hotaru.

And this excellent FBI agent, who was admired by Kurosawa Hotaru for her strength and intelligence, and even she herself felt annoyed by some of her targeted arrangements, suffered a great loss in today's encounter at the hands of the boy in front of her, whom she had always simply regarded as Kurosawa Hotaru's younger brother.

Combined with every action that Saburo Uozuka promised to carry out and every nearly perfect result he achieved after coming to Magnesium, Vermouth finally admitted that what Hotaru Kurosawa occasionally said in her previous chats with her, 'In some cases, Uozuka is better than me, so I have to work harder', was definitely not out of her preference for Saburo Uozuka.

Saburo Uozuka, this little guy who has joined the organization for less than ten years, has already become one of the best cadres in the organization in terms of strength.

No, in fact, he might be even more terrifying.

I clearly told Kurosawa Hotaru that the person who really occupied the dominant position between the two of them was Uozuka Saburo, but in the end I was deceived by the "harmless" temperament that Uozuka Saburo had always displayed. This is too wrong, Vermouth!

After changing Uozuka Saburo's position several levels in her mind, Vermouth continued with her previous question.

"How much have you revealed in the previous encounter?"

"Exposed? Apart from the fighting style and level, plus the general body shape and height, there are no other problems."

After moving his bandaged arm, Uozuka Saburo thought for a moment and quickly gave an answer.

"Even my voice was processed with a simple voice changer. The environment was very dark at the time, and I couldn't even see the other person's appearance clearly. I believe she was the same."

"Really? That makes things convenient." She nodded in understanding, took out her cell phone and pressed a few buttons, then as if she had received some message, Vermouth looked at Uozuka Saburo again.

"My suggestion is that you go to work at the base as normal tomorrow, and I will continue to play on this island for a few days as Scarlett. This time our actions were a bit out of line, causing the circuits and networks of the entire island to be paralyzed. However, this is actually a good thing for us. At least our actions are carried out in a completely 'hidden' state. In this way, it is almost impossible for them to find us."

"It's a good idea, but I think you seem to have forgotten one thing." Raising his injured arm, Uozuka Saburo shook his head helplessly.

"The wound on my arm is as bright as a beacon. I don't believe the other party would ignore such an obvious injury if they wanted to investigate. My figure would have been easier to screen on the island."

“No, no, brother Uozuka, actually, your injury is the most important part of my idea.” Smiling and shaking her finger, Vermouth’s expression became playful.

"For our safety, Uozuka-san, are you willing to make the wound on your arm a little bigger~"

"...What do you want to do?"

. . .

"James, are there any results from the investigation?"

Lying on the hospital bed, Akai Hidei, who was ordered by James to have a good rest for a few days, withdrew her gaze outside the window with boredom, and looked expectantly at James who pushed the door and walked in.

"It's almost as we expected. It's almost impossible to find them from the port and the airport. And we found nothing when searching for people of similar stature on the island." James shrugged calmly. As a veteran FBI agent, he had a very good control over his emotions.

"I really didn't notice anything. It shouldn't be hard to find someone with that kind of figure." Shaking her head as if she was sighing, Akai Hidei was not too disappointed with this answer.

The best way to deal with that organization is to capture or kill them on the spot, otherwise, getting nothing is the inevitable result. Akai Hidei has experienced this mode of action many times.
