Ke Xue: I have a knife, and you still dare to fight me?

Then he heard Vermouth's voice: "I'll help you leave here and go back to Japan tomorrow night, but before that, do you want to play with those guys one more time?"

Tequila turned her head and looked at Vermouth's mysterious smile, asking, "How do we play?"

"Of course, it was retaliation."

Chapter Forty-Four: Ambush

"Nani!?"

Tequila looked at Vermouth in disbelief.

"You want me, a patient, to show myself and seduce Shuichi Akai? Are you deliberately trying to prevent me from returning to Japan alive?"

Vermouth's smile remained unchanged: "As long as you follow the route I've planned, you'll be absolutely fine. At worst, the FBI will give you another large sum of compensation."

Agave's Adam's apple bobbed; it seemed to want to speak.

Vermouth had already placed her hands on his shoulders, one hand sliding down until it stopped at his wound.

Tequila immediately swallowed her words.

"I see."

"Good boy—"

.........

Inside the base's rest area.

Upon hearing the knock on the door, Shuichi Akai said, "Come in."

Judy pushed open the door and entered.

"Shuichi, we've finally found his trail!"

Such a coincidence?

Kurokawasaki Tsuki turned around and glanced at Akai Shuichi.

They discovered that the latter was also hesitant.

Seeing that Shuichi Akai hadn't made a move for so long, Judy asked timidly, "Should we arrange for someone to prepare?"

"No need, aren't our people still watching him?"

"Yes, I've been keeping an eye on it."

"I'll go with Kurokawa this time."

Kurokawa Saki, holding his sword, pointed at himself and asked, "Me?"

The scene shifts, and Kurokawasaki Tsuki has already been lured onto the pirate ship by Akai Shuichi.

Shuichi Akai held the steering wheel with one hand and rested the other hand on the car door, a cigarette between his fingers.

Turning his head to glance at Kurokawasaki Tsuki, who was expressionlessly admiring the scenery, he asked again, "Are you sure you don't need to bring a gun?"

“No need,” Kurokawasaki Tsuki patted the knife beside him. “This is enough. Besides, I’m wearing a bulletproof vest.”

"To be honest, if I hadn't just fought with you, I definitely wouldn't have agreed to let you bring only one knife."

"I don't even know who you're trying to arrest."

"He was a codenamed member of that organization. He entered the country the night before last, and after we spotted him, he killed several FBI agents. His codename was Tequila."

Tequila?

Kurokawasaki Tsuki stroked his chin, feeling a vague recollection of what he was seeing. But the memory was faint…

That's really strange, where have I heard that before?

Seeing that he looked deep in thought, Shuichi Akai asked, "What's wrong? Have you heard of this codename before?"

Kurokawasaki Tsuki thought for a while, but couldn't remember.

So I simply answered, "No."

On the other hand, after luring the FBI agent by selling a fake, Tequila stayed in the abandoned industrial park.

Quietly awaiting the FBI's action.

Vermouth had already disguised herself and infiltrated the FBI surveillance team.

In no time, Shuichi Akai successfully handed over the duties to the FBI surveillance team left behind.

After disguising herself, Vermouth looked at Shuichi Akai not far away and revealed a barely perceptible smile. She secretly reached into her pocket and quickly typed a message to Tequila.

Upon receiving Vermouth's message, Tequila did not hesitate and immediately raised her gun, shooting down the two FBI agents who were secretly monitoring her.

The gunshot immediately caused a commotion on Shuichi Akai's side.

The squad leader immediately contacted the undercover agents, but received no response.

problem occurs!

Shuichi Akai was not surprised; he could guess that Tequila, who had been hiding well, had suddenly appeared because she was coming for him.

There's probably still that woman, Vermouth, behind the scenes. After all, she's the woman who's been the most frequent and the most vocal opponent of the FBI in the US.

Shuichi Akai put down the box he was carrying and pulled out a sniper rifle.

"You take the wounded and set up an ambush on the outskirts. Leave this to me."

The surveillance team, having received their orders, didn't say much. They retrieved the wounded soldier, packed his belongings, and left immediately.

Vermouth pulled down her hat brim and left with the group members.

Before leaving, he glanced at Shuichi Akai and sent a text message to Tequila: Proceed according to plan.

Then, Vermouth, who was following behind the surveillance team, also slipped away when they weren't looking.

Little did she know, her actions had been observed by Kurokawasaki Tsuki, who was hiding in the shadows.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Vermouth, what's Shinichi's godmother doing here? Is she meeting up with Tequila or something...?"

Kurokawasaki Tsuki immediately followed.

Meanwhile, Tequila has already clashed with Shuichi Akai.

He only brought five organization members with him to cover for this operation, and in just a short time, Shuichi Akai had already sniped two of them.

Tequila was preparing to retreat, but Shuichi Akai was pursuing them too closely.

Without noticing, he was shot in the calf.

The other three members who were providing cover tried to fight back, but each of them was taken down by Shuichi Akai with a gun.

He then hid behind a pillar to reload before raising his gun to approach Tequila.

Tequila watched in horror as Shuichi Akai approached him step by step. He quickly raised his gun to fight back, but Shuichi Akai shot him, knocking the gun out of his hand and leaving his hand a bloody mess.

Tequila couldn't take it anymore. She hurriedly lifted her clothes, revealing the bomb vest she was wearing, and shouted maniacally, "Die, hahahahaha!"

He then pulled the pin on the bomb.

Shuichi Akai's pupils contracted, and he quickly rolled and slid, but he was still hit by the bomb blast.

He felt a sharp pain emanating from his body.

He turned to look at the people who had been blown to pieces and frowned.

We've been tricked; that sound isn't tequila at all.

The image of Vermouth flashed through his mind.

really!

At this moment, the real Tequila emerged from another location with several members.

Vermouth, disguised as an FBI surveillance team member, also arrived at the scene. She tore off her disguise and smiled at Shuichi Akai, who was leaning against a pillar.

"Shuichi Akai, you're really unlucky today. I never expected you to dare to come alone."

Vermouth pointed her gun at Shuichi Akai and uttered two words: "Goodbye~"

Just as Vermouth was about to pull the trigger, a shadow suddenly flashed over her head.

Vermouth looked up quickly and saw a person wearing a fox mask descending from the sky with a knife in one hand.

! !

Vermouth quickly raised her gun, but the man vanished before her eyes in a flash.

Vermouth's eyes widened.

The next second, the gun barrel in her hand suddenly slipped and fell to the ground. At the same time, a bloody gash appeared on her arm, from which a few drops of blood seeped out.

When Shuichi Akai saw Tsuki Kurokawa arrive, he breathed a sigh of relief. Despite the excruciating pain, he dragged his heavy body over and hid behind a nearby bunker.

Tequila and the others were stunned by this bizarre scene, and instinct drove them to pull the trigger.

A hail of bullets rained down on Kurokawasaki Tsuki.

Kurokawasaki Tsuki instantly activated his Sharingan.

The bullet trajectories formed straight lines as Kurokawa Saki Tsuki swung his katana.

Sparks flew for a moment.

To the others, including Tequila, his knife had already left afterimages as he swung it.

They quickly emptied their pistols.

The person wearing the fox mask stood before them, knife in hand, his clothes spotless.

Tequila stared wide-eyed, then pulled the trigger again, but all he heard was a desperate "click-click" sound.

He swallowed hard, staring in horror at the swordsman before him.

It’s over.

I'll probably get... chopped into mincemeat!

Chapter 45 The Resilient Agave

Vermouth was also stunned.

But as she looked at the swordsman's back, a sense of familiarity suddenly welled up within her.

Have you seen this somewhere before?

Soon, the figure from a year ago gradually overlapped with the figure in front of him.

It's him!

Is this the true value of winning a world kendo championship?

That's a bit of an exaggeration!

Beneath the mask, Kurokawasaki Tsuki's lips curled into a smile.

They've run out of bullets, haven't they?

Next, it's my turn.

The one who draws the sword first is wrong; the one who draws the spear first deserves to be killed.

Kurokawa Saki instantly sheathed his sword and then lowered his body.

Looking up again, a terrifying red light flashed in the eyes of the seemingly harmless fox mask, carrying a chilling murderous intent.

Without the slightest hesitation, Tequila turned and ran, leaving the organization's peripheral members standing there as his scapegoats.

Iai·Slash in all directions!

"brush!"

The moment the blade was drawn, Kurokawasaki Tsuki also vanished from the spot.

He transformed into a blur and directly attacked the outer members of the organization.

It was like wolves among sheep; the organization members were terrified but unable to move, left to be slaughtered at will.
