I'm in Conan, I'm not a gangster

Chapter 509 I Hate People Who Go Back on Their Promises (1st Update)
Wow! It feels so great to be a kid again!

"Mom and Dad, look! I can do a handstand so easily! This feeling of being as light as a feather is amazing!"

"Haha, my kidney deficiency is cured too!!"

"........."

The Tokugawa couple stared wide-eyed at their son's vigorous and energetic appearance, filled with envy.

They knew their son was having affairs and was already suffering from severe kidney deficiency at a young age.

But now, it's completely fine!!
Who wouldn't be envious and jealous?

Just as the Tokugawa couple were about to press for more information, suddenly...

The study door was kicked open suddenly.

Shiraishi E walked in with one hand in her pocket, followed by Ai and Hoshino Terumi, one expressionless and the other with a furrowed brow.

"Who are you people?!" Tokugawa's father shouted sternly, instinctively pressing the alarm button under his desk.

Shiraishi E chuckled lightly: "Don't bother, the security system is already down."

He stepped forward slowly, his gaze landing on Tokugawa Masahiko: "As for who we are?"

He crouched down, meeting the gaze of the shrunken Tokugawa Masahiko, a dangerous smile playing on his lips: "The culprit who turned you into this."

The study fell into a deathly silence.

Tokugawa Masahiko exclaimed in surprise, "W-you drugged me?!"

“Smart.” Shiraishi E snapped her fingers. “But I prefer to call it… a ‘gift.’ Now that you’re no longer suffering from kidney deficiency, aren’t you happy!”

"Haha! I'm so happy, so incredibly happy!!" Tokugawa Masahiko exclaimed ecstatically, "Now that you mention it, I should thank you!"

Shiraishi E laughed when she heard this; this kid's head is clearly not quite right!

Just as he was about to say something, Tokugawa's mother suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Shiraishi E's sleeve: "Please! Make me young again! I'll pay any price!"

Tokugawa's father hurriedly chimed in, "One billion! No, two billion yen! Just make us, husband and wife, shrink too!"

Shiraishi E was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "You guys want to shrink too? Of course, no problem!"

He took two capsules out of his pocket and fiddled with them between his fingers: "Sure, just swallow them."

The Tokugawa couple reached out to take it, but froze just before they touched the pill.

"Wait..." Tokugawa's father swallowed hard. "Does this medicine have any side effects?"

Shiraishi E revealed a devilish smile: "The side effects... there's about a 1% chance of shrinking, and a 99% chance of dying on the spot."

"What?!" Tokugawa's mother screamed and backed away.

Tokugawa Masahiko jumped up excitedly: "As expected, I am the chosen one! I managed to succeed with such a small probability!"

The couple turned deathly pale.

Tokugawa's father, trying to remain calm, said, "Sir, we can discuss other ways of cooperation..."

"Too late." Shiraishi E's smile vanished abruptly as she drew her pistol and cocked it. "I hate people who go back on their word the most."

Under the dark muzzle of a gun, Tokugawa's father warned, trembling, "You...you can't do this! I'm calling for help!"

"Call for help?" Shiraishi E laughed. "Go ahead and call, call all you want. You can shout until you're hoarse and no one will listen!"

Tokugawa's father didn't believe it and quickly pressed the alarm button, but no one responded.

When the couple were forced to swallow the pills at gunpoint, Hoshino Terumi turned her head away.

She asked Ai in a low voice, "Does he... always play with people's lives like this?"

Ai looked at the Tokugawa couple convulsing on the ground and nodded, saying, "Yes, he's just that bored..."

Thirty seconds later, two more corpses appeared in the study.

"Looks like your luck isn't so good." Shiraishi E put away her pistol and looked at the terrified Tokugawa Masahiko: "Let's go, Chosen One~ I'll take you to a mysterious place!"

Tokugawa Masahiko, of course, had no intention of surrendering, so he turned and ran.

Shiraishi E grabbed him and punched him, knocking him unconscious.

The black sedan slowly drove away from the Tokugawa villa, and Shiraishi E drove back to Hoshino Terumi's apartment.

Inside the car, he held the steering wheel with one hand and lazily rested the other hand on the window. The night breeze brushed against the dandruff on his forehead, and he felt incredibly relaxed.

He glanced at Hoshino Terumi sitting in the passenger seat through the rearview mirror, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"How does it feel?" Shiraishi asked in a light tone, "Do you feel a thrill of 'being with demons'?"

Hoshino Terumi gazed at the streetlights flashing past the window, remained silent for a few seconds, then gave a self-deprecating smirk: "What demons? My hands are already stained with blood... How am I any different from you?"

Shiraishi E smiled, took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it over: "I like people like you who have such awareness!"

Hoshino Terumi took the business card, her fingertips feeling slightly cool.

The business card contained no company information, only a phone number, almost eerily simple.

“If something like this happens again, you can contact me.” Shiraishi’s tone was as relaxed as if she were talking about the weather. “Of course, I won’t let you work for nothing; the pay will be very generous.”

Hoshino Terumi held the business card in her hand, remained silent for a moment, and then suddenly spoke: "Then... can you help me take another step forward in my acting career?"

Shiraishi E raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"

“I still want to be an actress,” she said softly, her eyes unusually firm. “But in this industry, without a powerful backer, it’s impossible to get anywhere.”

Shiraishi E laughed: "That's easy." He snapped his fingers, "I'll arrange the resources for you and get you the role you want."

He suddenly realized that funding Yukiko's film was actually the right decision.

Now we can openly and legitimately stuff people in, right?

Hoshino Terumi's breath hitched slightly, and her heart pounded violently in her chest.

She suppressed her almost distorted joy and said calmly, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

She paused, then added, "As for those medicines... don't worry, I'll make sure they go where they're meant to go."

Shiraishi E likes to deal with intelligent people; there's no need to waste words!
Trading continues!

Hoshino Terumi looked out the window, a cold smile slowly curving her lips: "Yes... I've discovered that I don't actually hate killing."

Her voice was soft, yet carried a morbid pleasure—

"Especially killing those who deserve to die."

"I finally felt... incredibly happy."

She looked at Shiraishi E, her eyes flashing with an almost insane light: "I feel no guilt at all, only... the pleasure and sense of accomplishment of cleaning up the trash."

Shiraishi E paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

He turned to look at Ai in the back seat, his tone tinged with smugness: "Ai, did you hear that? Looks like I've found a treasure."

Ai crossed her arms, gave him a cold glance, and said mercilessly, "That's what they call 'birds of a feather flock together.'"

"There's always a mutual respect between perverts!"

Shiraishi E didn't take it to heart; instead, she laughed even more happily.

The car slowly came to a stop in front of Hoshino Terumi's apartment building.

Hoshino Terumi opened the car door, but instead of going upstairs, she smoked and watched them leave.

"Don't have nightmares tonight!" Shiraishi E waved to her, one hand on the steering wheel.

He stepped on the gas and drove away.

Ai spoke from the back seat, asking, "You want to recruit her?"

Shiraishi started the car and chuckled, "It's not really about recruiting her; it's just a mutually beneficial arrangement!"

"You wouldn't feel guilty if those scumbags in the entertainment industry died, would you?"

“Hmm…indeed.” Ai looked at the unconscious Tokugawa Masahiko and admitted that she felt no pity whatsoever.

She knew very well that the differences between people were greater than the differences between people and dogs!
Some people deserve to die, and she didn't hesitate to take action against them.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but give a bitter smile.

The influence the organization has had on me... I'm afraid I'll never be able to erase it in this lifetime.
