Detective Conan: The Superpowered Beings of the Detective Conan World

"Bourbon! You're like a persistent ghost!"

When Matsuda Jinpei saw that his attack had been blocked, he frowned and his tone became somewhat cold.

"Same to you!"

Bourbon snorted and shoved Ireland hard, whispering, "I'll cover you," before taking the initiative to meet Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji.

"Don't even think about succeeding!"

Kenji Hagiwara stepped forward decisively, his blue light transforming into a protective shield that collided with Bourbon's fist, a powerful impact that sent both of them flying.

"Bourbon's support came just in time. I'd heard that Bourbon and Zero's team had clashed before and had a grudge against each other, and it seems that's true!"

Ireland watched as Bourbon, who had temporarily overpowered the two with his superior fighting skills, had countless thoughts flash through his mind.

Having been in the organization for many years, Ireland had also heard the legend of Bourbon. Unlike him, who grew up in the organization, Bourbon and Scotland were both outsiders who joined the organization later in life. Back then, the two of them were in the same group as the rye whisky.

Later, Rye Whiskey's undercover identity was exposed. As his teammate, Rye Whiskey failed to notice anything unusual about him, which led to some suspicion of Bourbon and Scotch. However, they proved themselves by making a series of great contributions with their strong abilities.

Bourbon, in particular, with his LV4 "Fighter" combat prowess, coupled with his excellent observation and reasoning skills, was appreciated by Rum and became a core member of the intelligence team, and fought against Tokyo's most elite Zero squad many times.

This operation was only possible because Rum was criticized by the Boss for his previous failed operation in New York, which meant that Bourbon and Scotland could only be the executors. Otherwise, the commander of this operation would most likely have been Bourbon, Rum's confidant, rather than Ireland.

"Bourbon, you're not leaving today! It's time to settle our score!"

Matsuda Jinpei spoke in a cold tone as he threw bombs at the enemy.

"Is that so? I'd like to see just how capable your Zero team really is!"

Bourbon revealed a fierce look, his figure transformed into a golden streak of light, directly bypassing Hagiwara Kenji who was defending in front, and directly engaged in battle with Matsuda Jinpei.

"not good!"

Kenji Hagiwara's pupils dilated in shock, and he quickly retreated, rushing towards Bourbon.

Instantly, a series of explosions and flashes of blue and golden light clashed, the fierce battle dispelling the mist that shrouded the villa. Bourbon moved with ease between the two masters.

At the same time, Ireland rushed out of the side road, and the scene before him made his face even more grim, because the encirclement had been formed.

More than a dozen police cars from the Bureau of Superpowers had surrounded the villa area, and a large number of armed special forces had taken down ten members of the organization, leaving only two people struggling to hold on.

"Mr. Ireland, what should we do?"

One of the men in black hiding behind the tree spoke with a grim expression, his gaze towards Ireland filled with resentment.

Ireland fell silent for a moment. According to his original plan, the external action team would provoke Tokyo and attract the plainclothes agents of the Superpower Bureau in the villa. He would then kill Kudo Yusaku and Kudo Yukiko as soon as possible and break out before being surrounded by the main force of the Superpower Bureau. The whole process would not take more than three minutes.

However, Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo were imposters, members of the Zero Squad in disguise. The Zero Squad was extremely powerful, which delayed him by two minutes, resulting in him being surrounded. If it weren't for Bourbon, he would most likely have already been taken down.

Ireland took out the last super smoke grenade from his pocket and threw it. Under the rapidly spreading smoke, it quickly turned into a black stream of light and merged into it.

As the "shadow hunter," Ireland can blend into the shadows and fog, possessing exceptional escape skills.

"boom!!!"

The next moment, a huge roar resounded. From within the special forces of the Superpower Bureau, a cannon with peculiar patterns shot out a beam of energy. The white light instantly merged with the gray mist, directly dispersing the mist.

"Whoosh!"

Ireland fell from mid-air, landing on one knee with an extremely ugly expression.

"Surrender!"

Ten men pointed their guns at Ireland, and one of the team members spoke calmly to Ireland.

"Damn it, how could I have been captured alive here?"

Feeling the dark muzzle of a gun, Ireland's thoughts raced as he considered whether to die there or feign surrender and wait for Pisco to rescue him.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Just as Ireland was caught in a dilemma, a series of crashes suddenly came from behind. The Superpower Bureau's car was smashed to pieces, and a silver Mazda came straight at Ireland and opened the rear door next to him.

"Whoosh!"

Ireland charged forward without hesitation, and several super-powered bullets hit him in the back, causing him to groan, but he didn't dare to stop what he was doing.

"You're quick! If you had been a step slower, I definitely wouldn't have waited for you."

The young man in the driver's seat spoke softly. He was a young man with short, straight black hair and blue-gray eyes. He was the third codenamed member of this operation, Scotland.

"If I can't get up here in time, then I deserve to be arrested."

Ireland gave a quick check of the injuries and showed no dissatisfaction; after all, Scotland's willingness to come to his rescue was already a very generous act.

"However, there's no way to escape from here. Behind the villa ahead is a cliff. What are you going to do?"

Ireland quickly gathered his thoughts and asked in a slightly somber tone.

"Don't worry, we can just fly over the cliff!"

Scotland wore a "crazy" smile, which made Ireland's scalp tingle.

"Swish! Swish!"

The silver car drove straight into the battlefield, disrupting the rhythm of the three-way duel.

"Sorry, I don't have time to play with you guys anymore. Next time we meet, I promise you won't be able to stand up!"

Bourbon gave a meaningful smile, then his figure flashed by, turning into a golden light as he rushed into the car and slammed the door shut.

"Hold on tight, we're about to take off!"

Scotland floored the accelerator without hesitation, and the vehicle's speed suddenly increased, causing it to fly past the cliffs outside the villa.

Just as the car flew off the cliff, a blue-grey light flashed in Scotland's eyes, and he seemed to become one with the car.

"call out!"

At that moment, the car, at an eerie angle, seemed to transform into an airplane, piercing through the cliff and landing on the opposite hillside, before speeding away without slowing down at all.

As a Level 4 "Manipulator", Scotland's overall combat ability is not top-notch, but he can skillfully operate various utensils. He usually keeps a low profile, only operating cooking utensils in the kitchen and making excellent dishes. However, when it comes to actual combat, his ability to control a car is more terrifying than that of a Level 3 "Driver" like Vodka.

"Thank you all this time."

After escaping the encirclement, Ireland breathed a sigh of relief and then spoke in a nonchalant tone.

Although they were both members of the organization, they weren't very familiar with each other. Since they were rescued this time, Ireland would remember the favor they had done.

"This operation has failed. Twelve members have been captured. It will be difficult to explain this to the organization."

The Scottish driver remained silent, so Bourbon looked at the Irish driver with some displeasure and spoke.

"As the commander, I am primarily responsible, and I will apologize to Pisco and the Boss."

Upon hearing this, Ireland did not try to shirk responsibility and directly admitted it.

Ireland knew that it couldn't escape its responsibility. After all, it was the one who gathered the intelligence and led the team; Bourbon and Scotland were merely the executors.

Scotland and Bourbon exchanged a glance in the rearview mirror, saying nothing more; everything was understood without words.

Meanwhile, after the three members of the organization escaped, Matsuda Jinpei and Hagiwara Kenji also relaxed.

"That guy, he's ruthless!"

Matsuda Jinpei wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, his tone tinged with resentment.

"There's no other way. The four of us have to put on a good show in front of that blond Irishman. Anyway, it's not the first time you've been beaten by him, Jinpei."

Kenji Hagiwara moved closer to Jinpei Matsuda and spoke with a mocking expression.

"Tch, hopefully their situation isn't too bad."

Upon hearing this, Matsuda Jinpei chuckled lightly, then composed himself and spoke in a serious tone.

They were capable of taking down all the people from the organization in this operation, but because Bourbon and Scotch were both assigned to the action group, they had to hold back a bit, letting Ireland, Bourbon, and Scotch go back, leaving only twelve low-level organization members behind.

"Don't worry, according to Mr. Kudo Yusaku's plan, Rum, Pisco, and Gin's three operations will all fail. In this way, their boss will not be able to punish anyone, and Zero and Kei will not be affected."

Kenji Hagiwara shrugged and spoke calmly.
