Chapter 364 Gin Suffers Setbacks on Multiple Fronts

—Snipers, three ace-level snipers.

A look of disbelief had already crossed Gin's mind.
This is outrageous! Do Tokyo's yakuza organizations really have such high moral character that they can even recruit three ace snipers that the military would have to train with great effort? No, these three were recruited from the military, but we don't know who they are!

Having just returned to the Black Organization's temporary base in the Tokyo area,
Gin's expression was quite gloomy.

You're smurfing, I'm smurfing, the fish pond instantly turns into a high-level game. Two high-ranking Kings plus one King against him, a three-on-one fight, how could he possibly win, unless he calls back his sniper team?

He, Vodka, Chianti, and Cohen, working together, might still have a chance.

"Brother, what do you think the identities of those three snipers hired by the Mud Ginseng Association are?"

Vodka had already taken out his laptop and was working overtime to prepare for opening an account.

He's going to use the "Dark Baron" virus to hack into the firewall—this virus can delete all data it touches at once, making it incredibly easy to bypass firewalls. Even a novice can use "Dark Baron" to hack in.
Vodka, who had already received relevant training within the Black Organization, was even more so.

"A retired ace sniper from the military, find him based on the characteristics I gave you."

Gin's mind quickly recalled the physical characteristics of the two snipers he had seen, and he coldly reported the relevant information, instructing Vodka to investigate.

He's the type who holds grudges when he loses and launches a counterattack when he wins.

He will definitely take revenge for this defeat and make those guys who dared to attack him pay the price!

The vodka next to him quickly entered the relevant information.

After further narrowing down the network of contacts among the participating cadres, only one piece of identity information remained: Kevin Yoshino, a retired Marine Corps soldier who ran a military supplies store in Tokyo.

According to Kevin Yoshino, Vodka further contacted Scott Green, who owned a motorcycle shop in Tokyo.
Based on the special identities of the two, the identity of the last person, Timothy Hunter, who matches the physical characteristics described by Gin and has some injuries that prevent him from accurately sniping, also emerges.

—They are indeed all top-notch snipers, and they are a master and his two apprentices.

A quick glance at the three people's information on the screen,
A hint of murderous intent flashed in Gin's eyes. Seeing this, Vodka asked in a low voice,

"Should we contact the United States military base? It's just about taking out three lawless veterans. I believe the United States military base will be happy to help you with this."

However, Gin said...

"I'm going to kill them myself."

Gin's murderous intent was growing stronger.

However, what truly fueled Gin's murderous intent was the information Vodka received next. The second-in-command's expression turned to shock, followed by silence. He said...

"Chianti is seriously injured. Cohen said it was done with rye whiskey."

—Chianti, Cohen.

Gin's few permanent teammates, along with him and Vodka, consist of three snipers out of the four, forming an assassination squad. Currently, Chianti and Korn are located in West Tama City.

Although he abandoned his mission to investigate Hara Yoshiaki's whereabouts in Nishitama City and came to Tokyo City,
However, it's impossible to truly let personal matters interfere with official duties. Since they couldn't find any trace of him, they assigned the task to Chianti and Cohen. In other words, Chianti and Cohen are currently under attack by Rye Whiskey, and Chianti's severe injury is directly related to him.

“Rye whiskey…” Gin’s anger and murderous intent were rising.
However, his mind also started racing at that moment. He was thinking about why rye whiskey would appear in Nishitama City, since rye whiskey had no connection to Nishitama City.

Even Miyano Akemi didn't know that Hara Yoshiaki was an outsider, so how could Rye Whiskey possibly know?

There may be a mole within the organization; someone has leaked the list of peripheral members to Rye Whiskey!

But that's not the key point. The key point is that Rye Whiskey has been relentlessly pursuing Vermouth, and Vermouth suspects that Rye Whiskey has discovered her true identity. Given that Vermouth has already gone to the United States...
Why is rye whisky still only available in the Tokyo area of ​​Japan?

Shouldn't Rye Whiskey have gone after Vermouth and left Tokyo with her? Even if there was a mole who revealed Hara Yoshiaki's identity, there were other FBI agents to handle it. Why Rye Whiskey in particular?
—There is a reason.

Gin forced himself to calm down.

He was thinking, pondering the content of that reason. He knew that Akemi Miyano, the lover of Rye Whiskey, had died in a car accident, but Akemi Miyano's sister, Shiho Miyano, was still missing.
Gin has always suspected that Shiho Miyano stayed in Tokyo after escaping her handcuffs and never left the area.
The current situation with the rye whiskey proves his earlier conjecture was correct.

Yes, Shiho Miyano did not leave Tokyo, and may even be in Nishitama City. That's why the rye whiskey remained in the Nishitama City area of ​​Tokyo, where he still had a chance to catch or kill Sherry.

No, he even had the chance to finish it off along with the rye whiskey.

All it takes is a trigger.

A certain figure resurfaced in Gin's mind.
That's Ireland, the current head of the organization in the Tokyo area. If Ireland were to actually take action, it would inevitably attract the attention of Rye Whiskey, and Ireland's revenge would harm the organization's interests.

Using Ireland as bait might be enough for him to get rid of rye whiskey and sherry.

—But the timing of Ireland's actions is unclear.

Before the operation in Ireland, Gin still had time; he still had time to take revenge and eliminate those three so-called ace snipers. Now, the situation has once again shifted from overt to covert.
He has plenty of ways to kill people.

Gin's grim expression made Vodka, who was standing next to him, feel uneasy.

The next moment, Gin said,

"Vodka, pull up all the information on the now-extinct Steel Society and Mud Ginseng Society. Their timing of appearance is suspicious; I need to see what exactly happened..."

"No, there's no need to investigate. I'll have someone verify it."

Gin expressionlessly took out his phone and sent a message.

Soon, a reply came from the United States.
That's right, just as you guessed.

[Sender: Vermouth]

—Tama's Shadow Cabinet.

Gin now knows who is supporting Muddy's participation in the meeting behind the scenes.
The two sides do not share information at all, and even have conflicting interests. This situation was deliberately created by that person to prevent rum from becoming a monopoly, but to him... it is truly disgusting.

It seems his only option now is to take out those three snipers.
We can't make a move against the head of the Mud Ginseng Association, at least not until the Ghost Child's Chamber becomes useless in the eyes of the Shadow Cabinet...
