Gin likes me?

Sure enough, it was the right decision to follow Uozuka Saburo.

"Things have come to this point now, and we can only accept this result."

Taking the water that Kimura Taka had poured for him from the bedside table, Uozuka Saburo took a sip to moisten his dry throat.

"So what do we do next?"

Kimura Taka had no objection to Uozuka Saburo's judgment. In terms of timing, Kimura Taka was even more satisfied with the success of this operation than Uozuka Saburo.

Rum's plan also failed, and nothing serious happened to our people either, isn't that great?

"We can do nothing for now. Let's wait and see what the outcome will be with Rum."

Shaking his head and after accepting the results of this action, Uozuka Saburo was no longer in a hurry to do anything.

"We used almost all our organization's strength, but in the end, we handed in such an answer. I think the boss will definitely not be satisfied. And Rum, even as the leader of the Neon Organization, cannot escape the burden of responsibility. Just wait and see, Kimura, our organization will soon usher in a drastic change."

As his fingers groped the wall of the glass, Uozuka Saburo was confident in his judgment.

This action can be said to have had a great impact on the organization, and he also has a backup plan left with Hagiwara Chisu, which can further compress the organization's space.

In this way, the organization's development speed in Neon will inevitably slow down, which is what Saburo Uozuka hopes to see.

Only if the organization slows down its development and we speed up our layout can we finally achieve our wish.

"Speaking of which, Rum has also told me to keep an eye on the intelligence department in the near future. He also told me to pass on a message that after you wake up, you don't need to get too involved in the organization's affairs and take care of yourself as soon as possible."

"Oh, did Rum really say that? Well, that's right. My performance this time should be perfect in Rum's eyes. It seems that the suspicion is cleared." He nodded happily. Uozuka Saburo was a little annoyed that Rum had trusted and supported him before, but was secretly suspicious and wary of his actions.

But this time it's okay. Although the injuries were serious, I recovered quickly.

The most crucial thing is that through this incident, Saburo Uozuka completely became Rum's "insider" who turned the tide in this operation and reduced the losses to an acceptable range. This will have considerable benefits for Saburo Uozuka's future development and actions in the organization.

After all, Uozuka Saburo and others also understood it in the later discussions.

Although Rum had some intentions of being the second in command of the boss of the organization, and was biased towards his own judgment when taking action, he still didn't dare to do something like this that would involve all the branches of the Neon Organization.

In other words, Rum only took action this time with the boss's private consent.

Therefore, even though the answer that Rum gave this time was extremely unsatisfactory, Uozuka Saburo knew in his heart that after punishing and reprimanding Rum, the boss would still let him continue to take charge of the huge Neon Organization.

Because apart from Rum, there is no other member in the organization who is suitable for this task and deeply trusted by the boss.

"Okay, I don't have anything else to say. You should recover quickly, and it would be best if you can recover at home."

Shrugging his shoulders, Kimura Ying clapped his hands, supporting himself on his knees, and stood up, thinking that all the missions for today had been completed.

"Oh, by the way, I remembered one more thing."

When he reached the door, Kimura Takashi, who had already opened it, suddenly stopped and turned to look at Uozuka Saburo with a subtle look.

"Rum left for Magnesium yesterday. Does this mean that the organization's affairs in Japan will soon spread to Magnesium?"

"...so?"

"So, the news of your injury can no longer be concealed."

"...Kimura Ying, did you do something behind my back?"

Looking at Kimura Takashi's flickering eyes, Uozuka Saburo's expression became gloomy.

Every time he was sold out by Kimura Takashi, he had this expression and look!

"Well, I just received a call from Gin this morning. She asked about your situation... You see, there's nothing I can do! In Neon, I'm the only friend of yours in the organization who is Gin's friend! She called me to ask for news, how dare I hide it!"

"Kimura, you!"

"What are you talking about? You are obviously the big sister, but you can't be honest in front of Gin. Do you know that I felt the phone was freezing when I was holding it? How dare I lie!"

"...Forget it, just tell me what the big sister asked you to do?"

"Gin asked me to contact her as soon as you wake up."

Shaking the edited transatlantic email in his hand, Kimura Taka looked at Uozuka Saburo sincerely.

"For the sake of our brotherhood, I will extend your time for 5 minutes, no more. If Gin gets impatient and contacts the medical staff of the organization, exposing me, I know exactly what will happen to me!"

"... Then I really want to thank you. Please get out of my sight right now! By the way, we must find out the information about that organization as soon as possible."

"Don't worry, I know."

Looking at Kimura Takashi who was rushing out of the door with disdain, Uozuka Saburo had no confidence to complain about him.

"Huh, Jackal, these are really troubled times. Japan has so many foreign organizations, aren't their officials anxious? Alas, it's such a pity that Vitas died..."

Staring at the phone number on his cell phone that was placed on the bedside table and was still on even though it hadn't been charged for two days, Uozuka Saburo pursed his lips and picked it up tremblingly.

The moment he pressed the answer button, the only way for Uozuka Saburo to relieve his tense mood was to curse Kimura Taka for being unfair.

"You are Kimura, the jungler! Didn't you agree to help me delay for 5 minutes? "

529: Who are you nervous about, Uozuka-san?

"Big sister, why did you call me suddenly~"

"..."

In response to Uozuka Saburo's smiling words, Kurosawa Hotaru on the other end of the phone did not give any response.

Such silence caused the originally smiling Uozuka Saburo to gradually become embarrassed, and he finally lowered his head in the empty room in a timid manner.

There was no way. Even through the phone, Saburo Uozuka could clearly hear the special breathing sound of Kurosawa Hotaru on the other end of the line.

It is steady and powerful, even to the point of being exaggerated, with the breathing frequency and timing of each segment being exactly the same, giving people a very stable feeling.

But only Uozuka Saburo knew how angry Kurosawa Hotaru was at this moment, as he was forced to suppress his emotions and breathe like this.

"Sorry, Big Sister, I should have called you the first thing I did when I woke up."

After admitting his mistake obediently on the phone, Uozuka Saburo suddenly felt grateful to Kimura Takashi in his heart.

If it weren't for Kimura Taka who took the initiative to say that Uozuka Saburo was only injured and there was nothing serious, and that he had escaped from danger immediately, what might have been waiting for Uozuka Saburo the moment he opened his eyes would have been a delicate but unusually cold familiar face.

"Injury, how is it?"

After hearing Uozuka Saburo's apology, Kurosawa Hotaru, who had been silent on the other end of the phone, finally spoke and went straight to the point and asked about the injury.

"It wasn't a big problem. It was just that the explosion happened so suddenly that we couldn't evacuate to a safe area right away, so I was knocked unconscious for a while."

He simply moved his body around. Although he could still feel the pain inside his body, this kind of pain was commonplace for Uozuka Saburo.

"Compared to the injury in the training camp that kept me in a coma for three days and two nights, this time is just like playing house."

"Are you glad you were badly injured, Uozuka?"

“...not really, big sister.” The angry smile on her face was suppressed. Hearing the dissatisfaction in Kurosawa Hotaru's tone, Uozuka Saburo begged for mercy and behaved himself again.

"Please believe me, Big Sister. I have made sufficient preparations for the operation. There is nothing wrong with Rum's plan. It's just a pity that the group of people who suddenly appeared did make us a little flustered."

"I already know what happened. You should take good care of your injuries and don't take any more missions from the organization until you recover." Although he didn't say it, Uozuka Saburo could feel that Kurosawa Hotaru believed that he was not complacent.

Because although the words of concern this time still sounded a little cold, they were much gentler than when he called Uozuka Saburo's surname just now.

"I know, Big Sister, if the organization doesn't ask me to, I would also like to rest more..."

"You don't need to worry about the organization. What I want is for you to know that before your injuries are healed, don't do anything unnecessary."

Without being polite, he interrupted Uozuka Saburo and put forward his own demands in a tough manner.

No, that kind of strong attitude could even be described as an order.

"If you can't stay idle, go play with those women and stay away from the organization. Do you understand, Uozuka?"

"Yes! I understand, Big Sister!"

Without any hesitation, Uozuka Saburo almost jumped off the hospital bed and saluted to express his loyalty to Kurosawa Hotaru.

His heart was beating violently, and when a drop of sweat rolled down from the gauze on his forehead and dripped across Saburo Uozuka's dull eyeballs, Saburo Uozuka realized that he had been holding the phone that had been hung up long ago for a long time.

There was no way. Kurosawa Hotaru's words just now had caused too much shock to Uozuka Saburo.

What does it mean to go and play with those women?

Who is the big sister talking about? What do you know?

Although Uozuka Saburo has a premonition that the day will come when Kurosawa Hotaru discovers his relationship with Suzuki Ayako and Hagiwara Chisuga, isn't it a little too early?

It is obvious that in recent years, Kurosawa Hotaru's activities have been far away from Japan, and there is no sign that she is being followed. Moreover, based on Kurosawa Hotaru's personality, it is impossible for her to ask people in the organization about her own affairs.

No, even if I asked, people in the organization wouldn't know what happened between me, Suzuki Ayako, and Hagiwara Chisu!

Could it be Kimura Taka?

The grinning gigolo face of Kimura Takashi flashed through his mind, and Uozuka Saburo felt that he still had a certain degree of trust in him.

When it comes to major issues, Kimura Takashi knows where he should stand.

and many more!

His eyes kept changing, and a name suddenly popped up in Uozuka Saburo's mind, gradually growing larger and occupying all of Uozuka Saburo's thoughts.

"If it's her, then it makes sense. If she disguises herself and follows me secretly, it would be hard for me to find out. And she does know about me, Ayako, and Chisu. The most important thing is, based on her doting attitude towards Big Sister, if Big Sister really wants to know, she won't help me hide it."

Pursing his dry lips, Saburo Uozuka hesitated for a moment, but somehow dialed a number.

"Oh, I didn't expect that you would contact me after you woke up, Brother Uozuka. What's wrong? Are you trying to let me know that you're safe? I already know the answer to that question. After all, Brother Uozuka, your vitality is stronger than that of a black bear. I don't believe it can be taken away by some random person~"

The phone rang twice before being connected, and then a charming voice containing a hint of teasing and playfulness appeared in Uozuka Saburo's ears.

"Is this the first thing you say to a patient? Vermouth, you really do have a bad personality."

"It's really rude to say that to a lady. Xiaoying should have already said the caring words. I don't think there's any need to repeat them~"

Pushing up the round-frame sunglasses on her nose, Vermouth observed the pedestrians on the street while holding the phone to her ear with a smile.

"I don't believe that you would contact me before contacting Xiaoying, brother Uozuka~ After all, in brother Uozuka's heart, I have always been a poor backup woman, crying~"

"...Forget it, I just woke up and I don't have the energy to argue with you, Vermouth."

Shaking his swollen head slightly, Uozuka Saburo really didn't want to be dragged into the rhythm of Vermouth's conversation at this time.

"So what do you want to say, Uozuka-san? Since you just woke up, I can be extra gentle today~"

There was still a smiling expression on her face, and it was obvious that Vermouth was enjoying the feeling of playing with Uozuka Saburo at the moment.

"Rum, we have arrived in Magnesium Country now."

"Oh, you're focusing on such an important issue right away. Brother Uozuka, you're really scary~"

The look in the man with sunglasses changed slightly, but Vermouth did not hide anything and gave a straightforward answer.

"Well, not only did I come to Magnesium, but I also met the boss in person and was scolded by the boss so badly~ At least, that's what the cadres in the Magnesium organization think~"

"Oh, that doesn't include you?"

"I don't know either. I just know the part that the boss told people to know~"

"Tsk, is that right? I told you that if it was just Rum, even if I were the only one in power, I wouldn't dare to do such a big thing!"

He gritted his teeth, his guess was confirmed, and Uozuka Saburo's mood suddenly improved a lot.

Although judging from the results, they didn't gain much, but because of their actions, this plan from Rum, which was also approved by the boss, was almost completely overturned, and the organization did not get the desired results!

Such a conclusion was enough to make Uozuka Saburo happy.

After all, this was the first time that he had fought against the boss of an organization in secret, and he even had some advantages!

This made Saburo Uozuka, who had always been wary and somewhat fearful of the organization's boss, whom he had only heard of but never seen, breathe a sigh of relief.

It’s really not that Uozuka Saburo is timid.

On the one hand, although he has climbed to a relatively high position in the organization, it is precisely because of this that Saburo Uozuka understands how terrifying it would be if the organization really did not care and frantically wanted to engage in revenge. And this is just the strength of the organization detected by Saburo Uozuka on the Neon side.

There are some in Magnesium.

On the other hand... the things this organization researches are just too scary.

That's immortality? Are you kidding me? Emperors of all dynasties have been pursuing it, but they can't get it. Now the boss of their own organization is also trying to get it?

And it seems that some research results have been achieved?

Really, ever since he found out that what the organization was researching was related to immortality, Saburo Uozuka would go to his apartment after get off work for a week, close the doors and windows, and then try various methods to see if he could release something like a fireball or a wind blade.

In the end, apart from making his fingers more flexible in forming seals, Uozuka Saburo did not gain anything.
