I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

Sadako, who had originally wanted to bring up the matter as well, gave up on the idea.

Since Thor was rejected, I'll most likely be rejected too, right?

"There's nothing to see here. I'll take this call first."

Bai Ye waved his hand, picked up his phone and glanced at it. After seeing Vermouth's call, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he still chose to answer: "Any interest in a mission?!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 298 The Showdown of the Century! Everyone's Expectations!

"Gemstone, we need your help to steal a gemstone."

"The one that's been targeted by Phantom Thief Kid and Cat's Eye lately?"

"That's right, it seems you're also eager to make a move, isn't that right?"

On the other end of the phone.

A hint of surprise flashed across Vermouth's face; she hadn't said anything, yet the other party already knew.

It seems he must have been paying attention to this for a while.

So, does this mean this wave is a sure thing?

"No, I don't want to."

Bai Ye refused without hesitation.

Just kidding.

I just promised the other party that I would protect this gem.

Then he simply stole the gem himself.

So what is this?

Embezzlement?

Isn't this a blatant slap in the face?

It was his firm's first deal, and he certainly didn't want to make any mistakes.

Besides, his identity will be exposed later.

Needless to say, I would definitely be nailed to the pillar of shame.

Therefore, Bai Ye would absolutely not accept this offer, even if the other party offered her a great deal of compensation.

"Add money."

Vermouth gritted her teeth; she was not surprised by Bai Ye's rejection.

In her opinion, wasn't Bai Ye just trying to use this incident to bargain with her?

That works!

Since it's not my own money, I can just pay more.

"It's not about whether I pay more or not. I don't want to take this task. Go find someone else."

After Bai Ye finished speaking, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.

His attitude also puzzled Vermouth.

He doesn't want to accept it?

"I see."

Although she still had many doubts in her heart, Vermouth did not force the issue.

If Bai Ye is unwilling to accept the mission, then so be it.

After hanging up the phone, Vermouth turned to Gin, shrugged, and said helplessly, "They refused. There's nothing I can do."

To begin with, I wasn't particularly close to Bai Ye.

Vermouth had never understood why, even though Gin was the one who contacted Byakuya first, she ended up becoming the contact person with Byakuya.

He, on the contrary, stayed behind the scenes.

Gin lowered his head, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and then exhaled a smoke ring.

"Big brother, why don't we take action ourselves?"

Vodka had long since realized that guy was unreliable.

Moreover, his older brother actually wanted to recruit the other party into the organization, which seemed to indicate that he thought highly of the other party.

Wouldn't he lose his title as the loyal follower?

Vodka, wanting to demonstrate his power, decided to make his move!

It's just stealing something; even without a master thief, Vodka can do it all!

Everyone is working for the organization.

He carried a gun for his elder brother, he shed blood for the organization. Let alone stealing jewels, even if he were to fight on the moon, Vodka wouldn't utter a word!

"are you an idiot?"

Gin looked up, glanced at vodka, and cursed.

He hadn't expected Vodka to have the confidence to say those things.

What on earth were you thinking?!

Do you really think you can do it?

"Everyone has their own expertise, and stealing is not something we are suited for."

Even Gin understands this principle.

But considering Vodka's mind, Gin shook his head and said nothing more.

He was, after all, a loyal underling.

Gin has recently discovered that there seem to be more and more traitors within the organization.

This left Gin exhausted, but also made him realize he needed to take better care of vodka.

Finding a loyal follower is indeed quite difficult these days.

However, it doesn't seem necessary to let them act on their own.

The main reason is that they themselves are not suitable, so Gin would certainly not agree to this.

"I might give it a try."

"you?"

Compared to vodka, Gin was also somewhat tempted when Vermouth said those words.

Vermouth and he were not in a superior-subordinate relationship.

Therefore, most of the time Vermouth's actions actually depend on whether she is willing to go.

If Vermouth is willing to go, Gin would be happy to give it a try.

Vermouth can disguise herself, so it's not necessarily impossible for her to sneak in and steal a gem.

If Vermouth can manage to steal the gem from these phantom thieves this time...

After that, there was no longer any need to cooperate with Bai Ye.

Gin initially valued Byakuya's thieving abilities.

Now that the other side has formed a Phantom Thieves group, they might focus their efforts on that.

In addition, they didn't know the other party's identity.

Therefore, Gin still harbors considerable wariness towards Byakuya.

This takes into account that both parties are still cooperating.

So Gin didn't interfere too much.

Given a better alternative, Gin naturally wouldn't choose the backup option.

"No problem, you can give it a try."

"I'm leaving."

Vermouth's decision wasn't impulsive; it was also because she hadn't had any missions lately.

Besides, in her opinion, taking away a gemstone is not difficult at all.

So she decided to give it a try.

"Big brother, is she really capable?"

After seeing Vermouth leave, Vodka also voiced the question that had been bothering him.

This woman seems unreliable no matter how you look at it.

"Who knows? If we can get it, we'll get it. Anyway, we won't lose much."

While Gin was attentive to the task of collecting gems, it wasn't his top priority.

The reason they kept seeking cooperation with Bai Ye was that the organization had money anyway, so finding someone to steal the gems seemed like a good idea.

The organization has used this tactic more than once: they pay for it themselves, and the other party provides the labor.

However, Gin was very unhappy about his collaboration with Byakuya.

They used to be in control, but now they have no way to deal with Bai Ye.

"By the way, how's the investigation into the Phantom Thieves of Hearts going?"

We finally have some information about Bai Ye.

Gin looked at Vodka; this was a task he had been given to him before.

Coupled with that inexplicable power, Gin himself currently feels it's a trick by the other party.

But he also prefers to investigate thoroughly.
