Ke Xue: My standards for dating are not problematic!

Chapter 500

Beside him, Vermouth had slumped into a puddle of mud, her face flushed and her eyes unfocused. If Kitahara Natsuhiro hadn't been supporting her, she wouldn't have been able to stand at all.

"Vermouth, are you alright?" Kitahara Natsumi asked knowingly.

Hearing this, Vermouth snapped out of her daze, rolled her eyes at him, and said coquettishly, "You know the answer already, why are you asking? Are you trying to show off your prowess?"

“Yes, that’s the idea!” Kitahara Natsuyu said proudly.

"Humph!"

Vermouth rolled her eyes at him, then clung to him, completely drained of energy, even the strength to curse had been taken away not long ago.

I am now in a state of weakness and powerlessness.

Even so, Vermouth couldn't help but pinch him.

This guy is so angry.

I couldn't resist; I really couldn't help but chat.

However, it didn't hurt at all, which instead made Kitahara Natsuyu laugh out loud.

"Hahaha, it doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all!" Kitahara Natsuyu laughed loudly.

He's acting like he's gotten a good deal but is still being hypocritical.

Hearing this, Vermouth ignored him and said softly, "You're all sweaty and sticky. Carry me to the bathtub so I can take a bath!"

"Aren't you going to wash it with me?"

"No need, I just showered. But you need to wash yourself before you can come in for a bath!"

"understood."

Kitahara Natsuhiro nodded, then swept Vermouth into his arms in a princess carry and led her to the bathtub.

He replaced the bathtub after he came, and it was a new model that was much bigger than the old one.

Although you can't swim in it, there's plenty of room for taking a bath; it's very spacious.

After all, you get what you pay for.

Then, Kitahara Natsuhiro turned on the bathtub, and steam rose up.

The preserved water still emits heat, and the temperature is just right.

When Vermouth entered, she couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Taking a hot bath is really relaxing after a long day.

"Okay, I'm going to wash up, then we'll come soak together!"

"Ah."

Vermouth nodded, leaned against the edge of the bathtub, closed her eyes, and let the water wash over her, enjoying this moment of rest.

Because she knew that an even bigger battle awaited her.

This was her main purpose in coming here; everything else was secondary.

This is the most important.

Kitahara Natsuhiro glanced at Vermouth, then went to wash up.

However, Vermouth was too weak to rub Kitahara Natsuhiro's back.

But Kitahara Natsuhiro's joints are flexible enough, and his arms are long enough, so he can reach anywhere.

Wow.
A short while later, Kitahara Natsuhiro rinsed off the foam off his body and head.

After washing up, he felt refreshed and was in top form.

Immediately, he hopped and skipped over to Vermouth's side and started crashing down like a cannonball.

This elicited a playful rebuke from Vermouth: "How old are you? Why are you still playing like this?"

"Be careful of complaints from the downstairs neighbors. What if the bathtub damages it?"

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsumi lay down opposite Vermouth and said with a smile, "Don't worry, it won't break. I know what I'm doing."

Although he jumped in, he didn't actually exert much force; he just displaced some of the water and didn't cause any real trouble.

"Hmph, what a boring man!" Vermouth closed her eyes again to rest.

At this moment, Kitahara Natsuhiro was not on one side with Vermouth, but on the opposite side.

In this situation, both people's feet are next to each other, and they can touch each other's feet.

In this situation, it's natural to play this game.

Kitahara Natsuhiro smiled, then placed Vermouth's feet on his body and began to tickle her.

The next second, Vermouth opened her eyes and said coquettishly, "Let me rest for a bit, I'm so tired, I haven't recovered yet."

Upon hearing this, Kitahara Natsuyu teased, "Your recovery ability isn't great either!"

Hearing this, Vermouth rolled her eyes at him and retorted, "Not everyone is as abnormal as you, with inexhaustible energy."

"Now you realize it!"

"Alright, now's not the time for these kinds of things." Kitahara Natsuyu patted Vermouth's jade-like feet and laughed.

Upon hearing this, Vermouth snorted and then put her feet on him.

"By the way, how many days are you planning to stay here?"

It could be said that he spent the shortest amount of time with Vermouth, less than anyone else, so naturally he hoped Vermouth would stay there a few more days.

In addition, Vermouth also has the strongest physical attributes.

"A few days?" Vermouth asked softly, gripping the edge of the bathtub with both hands. "I haven't been too busy lately."

"Because of the boss, we need to lie low for now and not do anything reckless."

"So I can stay here for the rest of the time without having to carry out any missions."

"Even if there really is a mission, there will probably be people who don't want me to carry it out."

"I'm being closely guarded by someone right now!"

The person she was referring to was naturally Rum, the organization's second-in-command.

And she could more or less sense that Rum had ulterior motives.

However, it's not about betraying the organization, but about taking its place.

Because when she was in the United States, she saw some traces of Rum through intelligence networks.

She analyzed these traces and learned that Rum was looking for someone.

The only person Rum would personally search for is undoubtedly the boss. Vermouth could understand this, given that Rum has served the boss for generations, and with the boss missing for so long, Rum might have other ideas.

They probably wish the boss would die, or find his whereabouts so they could kill him and become the new boss themselves.

Moreover, very few people in the organization have ever seen Rum, and even fewer have seen the boss, so impersonating him would be a piece of cake.

Of course, Gin is another one of them; this guy has deep trust in him.

Both Rum and the boss have met Gin.

Therefore, before Rum can seize control of the organization, he needs to get rid of Gin, his loyal henchman.

However, Gin cannot die at this time, because only if Gin lives can he fight against the other organizations.

If Gin dies, there probably won't be many people in the organization who take things seriously.

what?
With vodka, Chianti, Coron, and the 70-80-year-old Pisco, it's better to just surrender.

It can be said that Gin has now taken up the mantle of the organization.

Gin: I am Gin, my record is verifiable!
"Is Rum being so wary of you because he wants to harm Karasuma Renya?" Kitahara Natsuhiro said with a smile.

The fact that the organization's boss is Karasuma Renya is not only known to a few people in the organization, but also to some extent to people in other organizations.

Otherwise, these organizations wouldn't have allowed Karasuma Renya to live until now.

After all, they were still thinking of taking the Black Organization's final experimental results and using them for themselves.

The dream of immortality is something many people desire, especially those who are old and frail.

Furthermore, within the world of Detective Conan, there are several individuals who have very close ties with the organization.

One is the head of the Ooka Zaibatsu, who is also the former Prime Minister of Japan.

However, this guy has never shown up, but he is definitely not young. You can find his age on some Japanese websites.

He's over eighty years old, not young at all.

Besides that, there was the head of the Haneda family, who was also Haneda Hideyoshi's nominal father.

He is not young, and the blow of his son's death has made his health less than ideal. He also has no blood-related heir.

This guy might also be keeping an eye on the black organization.

After all, this guy has a blood feud with the organization, yet he's still alive; he must have some tricks up his sleeve.

Furthermore, in the original story, after Sera Mari's body shrank and she came to Japan with her daughter, she relied on Haneda Yasuharu's help to keep changing hotels.

Perhaps at that time, Yasuharu Haneda already knew everything and wanted to capture Sera Mari silently in order to start the experiment and prolong his own life.

Akai Tsutomu died for Haneda Yasuharu's son, and the two families had a very good relationship.

However, in the face of the temptation of immortality, even the best relationships are nothing but illusions, easily shattered.

Therefore, it is possible that Yasuharu Haneda would take action against Sera Mari.

However, in this life, Sera Mary did not become a child, nor did she live in a hotel or apartment connected to the Haneda family, and was not targeted.

The reason for all this is related to Kitahara Natsuhiro, which led to Sera Mary bringing Sera Masumi to Japan first.

I don't understand, I really don't understand!
However, it's no longer necessary to understand or not, since Sera Mary won't do that anymore, and Vermouth won't do it either.

“Yes,” Vermouth said. “That’s what I thought too, but I have no evidence.”

"Even if I had the evidence, I wouldn't be able to tell the boss."

"Most importantly, I like to see them fight like dogs; that's what makes it more interesting."

Vermouth was indeed loyal to the boss in the past and would consider the boss's interests.

But now Vermouth has completely sided with Kitahara Natsuyu, because Kitahara Natsuyu is now much stronger, stronger in every way.

As the saying goes, a good bird chooses a good tree to perch on.

With Kitahara Natsuyu as her powerful backer, why would she need to rely on that old geezer Karasuma Renya?

So Vermouth didn't hesitate for long before switching allegiances.

Of course, that's not the most important point.

Most importantly, she still doesn't know how to contact the boss.

Perhaps no one in the entire organization can contact the boss, not even Rum, otherwise he wouldn't be searching for the boss's whereabouts everywhere.

Of course, Gin might be an exception.

After all, this guy really works wholeheartedly for the organization, so it's only natural that he would be appreciated by the boss.

Perhaps Gin is the only one who knows where Karasuma Renya is.

Gin even received orders from the boss to keep an eye on Rum.

After all, the boss is the most cunning person in the entire organization. He's an old monster who's lived for a hundred years and is still around. How could he not see through Rum's thoughts?

However, it's no use figuring it out, because the organization still needs Rum.

It can be said that the organization is currently in a state of absolute equilibrium. If one side experiences a huge fluctuation, the entire organization may collapse as a result.

After all, criminal organizations are built up under the noses of various institutions, so they are not stable.

It can be said that the organization is full of spies from other agencies, and the existence of these spies is tacitly approved by the boss.

Of course, tacit approval is one thing, and being hunted down is another.

After all, being hunted down is your own fault for not being capable enough.

However, in the midst of a pure black nightmare, Amuro Tooru and the Japanese Public Security Bureau use a real list of undercover agents to set a trap to lure Curaçao into it.

Of course, this plan is not wrong; after all, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.

However, Curaçao managed to retrieve the list from the headquarters of the Japanese Public Security Bureau and even managed to break through their defenses.

All I can say is that Amuro Tooru and the Japanese Public Security Bureau are utterly incompetent.

This also led to the lives of the undercover agents planted in the organization hanging by a thread, resulting in the deaths of a large number of them.

Even Amuro Tooru himself and Rena Mizunashi were captured by Gin and almost shot dead.

It's fair to say that the Japanese police almost suffered a complete loss this time.

Of course, it wasn't without its advantages, because this time, the Japanese police almost wiped out all the undercover agents planted by other agencies, leaving only a few survivors.

In a way, this matter can be considered a benefit.

Japanese police are completely monopolistic!
"Yes, we can just sit back and watch the show."
