Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

Chapter 13 Rum's Anger, Shuichi Akai's Thoughts

An hour later, the "Silver Bullet" team from the American Superpower Bureau arrived at the port with a large number of officials and arrested dozens of members of the Black Organization, including codenamed "Binga".

"Ah Zhen, thank you so much. You're such a wonderful kid. If I had a daughter, I would definitely marry her to you."

Yukiko Kudo, dressed in a long orange dress, smiled and patted Makoto Kyogoku on the shoulder.

"No, Ms. Yukiko, I..."

"I know you like Sonoko, right? Don't worry, when we go back to Tokyo, we'll put in a good word for you with Sonoko."

Yukiko Kudo narrowed her eyes and spoke in a teasing tone.

"I, this, that..."

Kyogoku Makoto scratched his head sheepishly, a blush creeping across his dark skin.

On the other side, a man wearing a knitted hat approached Yusaku Kudo.

"Mr. Kudo, thank you very much for your trust this time."

Shuichi Akai spoke solemnly to Yusaku Kudo, though his expression didn't change much.

"No, it's nothing. I should be thanking you for your help."

Yusaku Kudo shook his head slightly and spoke to Shuichi Akai.

This wasn't the first time he'd met Shuichi Akai. They'd collaborated on some major cases before, and had a good understanding of each other's abilities and character, so they respected each other.

"Mr. Kudo, the organization's operation against you this time has failed, and they probably won't let it go easily. What are your thoughts on this?"

Shuichi Akai's gaze held a sharp edge, and his voice was lowered considerably, as if he was deliberately trying to avoid being noticed by others.

"Mr. Akai, the organization has suffered a major blow this time. I believe they won't be coming back anytime soon."

Kudo Yusaku spoke calmly, seemingly unconcerned about the organization's next counterattack.

"That's true. However, I have some information about the organization that I'd like to discuss with Mr. Kudo Yusaku, in my personal capacity."

Shuichi Akai remained calm, though a hint of sharpness flickered between his brows.

"Oh? In a personal capacity?"

Kudo Yusaku exchanged a meaningful glance with Akai Shuichi, and neither of them spoke again.

It's no secret that the Black Organization has planted agents within the government, and these agents are of high rank and there are more than one.

As a former undercover agent and a distinguished member of the organization, Shuichi Akai always maintained a subtle wariness towards his colleagues.

Therefore, for some actions that he believed must be kept secret, he preferred to cooperate with people he judged to be trustworthy, and Yusaku Kudo was one of them.

"I understand. I'll contact you anytime if I have the chance."

Yusaku Kudo nodded slightly, glanced at the large group of Superpower Bureau troops gathering not far away, and didn't say much to Shuichi Akai, but simply kept his words in mind.

An hour later, on a plane flying from New York to Tokyo.

"Yusaku, tell me, how is Shinichi?"

After boarding the plane, Yukiko Kudo finally dropped her relaxed facade and revealed a worried expression.

In front of Makoto Kyogoku and Shuichi Akai, she could pretend to be cheerful and easygoing, but no matter how much she liked to play, she was still a mother, and she would inevitably worry when she heard that her son Shinichi was in trouble.

"Don't worry, although there were some things that were hard to say over the phone, I could tell from his voice that Shinichi is not in any danger."

Yusaku Kudo pulled Yukiko into his arms, revealing a reassuring expression.

Yusaku Kudo had to admit that the organization was very well prepared this time, and he inevitably panicked for a moment when he heard that Shinichi was in trouble.

Reason told Kudo Yusaku that at this moment, the Black Organization was likely setting a trap for him on his way back to Tokyo, and the best course of action was to remain still.

However, in the eyes of the Black Organization, it was unlikely that he would remain calm and inactive after learning of his son's disappearance. If he did not act, it might lead the organization to suspect that Shinichi Kudo was not dead. Yusaku Kudo had already received definite information, so he was not in a hurry to go back and investigate his son's disappearance.

So Yusaku Kudo came up with a way to break the deadlock. He not only had to go back and portray a father who was extremely anxious because his son was missing, but he also had to break the trap set by the organization head-on.

No matter what kind of trap the Black Organization wants to set for him, it will inevitably involve combat. Rather than trying to outwit and outmaneuver the Black Organization when he is unprepared, he should try a different approach: use brute force to overcome all obstacles.

Kudo Yusaku was well aware of Rum's strategic planning abilities. The last time Kudo Yusaku helped the New York Bureau of Superpowers fight against Rum's organization as an advisor, although he won, he did not achieve much. Now that the enemy was prepared in advance, Kudo Yusaku was not confident of victory, so he chose to change his approach.

Coincidentally, Makoto Kyogoku had come here during his training some time ago without telling anyone. So Yusaku Kudo deliberately revealed a flaw to lure the organization into a trap. This was his answer to Rum. His super wisdom told him to use super strength to break the deadlock.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side, news soon arrived that Binga, along with the organization's assassins, had been captured from the underground branch of the Black Organization in America.

"Bang!"

Rum smashed the glass in his hand, a flash of extreme anger appearing in his one eye.

"Yusaku Kudo, he actually... he really is Makoto Kyogoku!"

Rum gasped for breath, trying to force himself to calm down, but only felt angrier.

He never expected that when he tried to outwit Yusaku Kudo and have a thrilling duel on the Go board, Yusaku Kudo would flip the board over and smash it down on his head.

Fortunately, Rum was no ordinary man. After a brief moment of anger, he managed to suppress his rage. After all, what had happened was done, and anger wouldn't solve anything.

"Next, we need to take immediate action to make amends. First, we must find a way to use our connections to rescue Binga. He knows too much. If all else fails, we should silence him!"

"Secondly, this operation failed, and New York's combat capabilities were severely damaged, requiring it to lie low for a period of time."

"Third, I must apologize to the Boss and at the same time synchronize the information with Gin. After Kudo Yusaku went to Tokyo, I handed it over to him. If Gin also loses to Kudo Yusaku once, this matter will not be a big deal."

Rum's only eye darted around rapidly as he quickly organized all the information. Then, he took a deep breath, slowly took out his phone, and dialed the number for the boss on the screen.

……

This night was far from peaceful; both the Black Organization and the New York Bureau of Superpowers were extremely busy.

In contrast, Hikaru Hoshino and Conan, who lived at Professor Agasa's house, slept relatively soundly.

"Beep beep!"

In the early morning, a computer notification sound came from the bedside table. Hoshino Hikaru slowly opened her eyes and turned on the computer to check it.

"Oh? You already have a new client? A Mr. Kubota, whose request is to have the Agasa Detective Agency investigate the armored man who walks at night at the Medieval Art Museum? And he's already paid a deposit of 30,000 yen."

Hoshino Hikaru stared at the commission information on the computer screen, lost in thought.
