Conan: Becoming the Boss Starting with Winning Over Ran

Page 63

Hoshimiya Yu and Kujou Hitomi followed behind.

Once you take the elevator down to the basement, you can immediately feel the difference from ordinary companies.

Not to mention the various futuristic devices, there are also several verification processes.

After fingerprints and palm prints were verified, and then iris scans were checked, the four of them were finally able to enter the underground hall.

Despite being underground and at night, the hall was as bright as day.

Inside the hall sat many researchers wearing white lab coats.

Meanwhile, a young woman with tea-colored hair kept moving around, occasionally guiding the researchers to revise the data.

Noticing the commotion at the door, the tea-haired girl looked up.

She frowned slightly when she saw Hoshimiya Yu and Kujou Hitomi, two strangers.

"Vodka, I've said it before, I won't do human experiments."

"Sherry, this is not an experimental subject..."

Vodka was somewhat speechless. To avoid any misunderstanding between Hoshimiya Haze and Kujou Hitomi, he quickly explained, "The organization has been short-handed recently, and this is a newly recruited member."

Although he hasn't successfully recruited them yet, Vodka has already tacitly accepted that Hoshimiya and Yu have joined the team.

Gin had him bring the people here, clearly indicating that if Hoshimiya Yu and the other person didn't agree, they would be killed.

Having learned about the organization's stronghold and witnessed so many secrets, the choice is either join or die.

Because only one's own people and the dead can keep a secret forever.

Hoshimiya Yu's eyes lit up when she saw the cute and pretty brown-haired girl in front of her.

To be fair, although Sonoko looks a lot like Shiho Miyano with her hair down, their personalities are completely different.

Before she shrunk, Shiho Miyano had an oval face that looked mature and calm. If it weren't for her still somewhat childish face, she could easily pass for twenty-five or twenty-six.

She was wearing a red sleeveless undershirt with a long hem that reached all the way down to her fair thighs, making it hard to tell whether she was wearing pants or not.

Her smooth, fair, and slender legs were unadorned, reflecting a shimmering luster under the laboratory lights.

However, this extremely beautiful scene was completely obscured by a white overcoat-like coat worn over it.

Compared to a regular white lab coat, this one has been clearly modified, making it more fitted and flattering, and it also has a flowing feel.

As expected of Ai Haibara, who reads fashion magazines every day even after shrinking, she still loves beauty even in the laboratory.

Hoshigumi Yu only caught a fleeting glimpse of it thanks to the powerful observation of the Eye of Truth.

But he also possesses a powerful memory palace, which allows him to directly archive memories in his mind.

Only then can one truly appreciate and savor this exquisitely beautiful scene.

More than admiring the adult version of Ai Haibara, Hoshimiya Yu was more concerned about the recruitment Vodka mentioned.

He quickly figured out the truth pretty accurately.

It seems that the group of people Suzuki Tomoko mentioned who were also investigating his past are probably from the brewery.

As for the fact that neither he nor Kujou Hitomi had agreed to the recruitment, and they didn't even know anything about it, Vodka claimed that the recruitment had been successful...

Hoshimiya Yu knew the brewery's nature very well, and naturally understood that not joining meant certain death.

Since the dead cannot express their opinions, it is sufficient to simply state that they have joined.

“Gin is inside.” Upon hearing that she was a newcomer to the organization, Shiho Miyano’s attitude noticeably cooled.

Although Akemi Miyano has not yet been silenced by the organization, Shiho Miyano has already developed a resistance to the organization.

Akemi Miyano's death was merely the last straw that broke the camel's back.

086 Join

Vodka and Chianti led Hoshimiya Yu and the other two further inside. After leaving the experimental hall, they arrived at a rest area that resembled a bar.

Compared to the main hall, this place appeared quite dim.

The sudden change in light can be difficult to adjust to at first.

Aside from Vodka, who always wore sunglasses, Hoshimiya Yu adapted the fastest, taking less than a second.

Kujou Hitomi and Chianti were a little slower, but they adapted almost simultaneously.

Gin, sitting in the corner, watched this scene unfold, a satisfied smile playing on his lips.

"Brother, the person has been brought." Volt strode over to the bar and bowed to Gin.

Chianti, on the other hand, went to find the bartender to mix drinks.

She leaned against the bar, never leaving Gin's side.

It would be quite interesting to see Gin, who is usually taciturn and ruthless, personally recruiting new talent.

Kujou Hitomi knew nothing about the brewery and was clearly still out of touch with reality.

Even after seeing Gin, her mind was still a complete blank. When she saw his signature flowing hair, she exclaimed instinctively, "Ah, you're the one who rode the roller coaster with me that day?!"

At the same time, she finally remembered who the familiar vodka was.

Vodka is quite distinctive, but it's nowhere near the same level as Gin's long white hair.

Kujou Hitomi's reaction was clearly unexpected by everyone present; even Gin paused for a moment while drinking.

Hoshimiya Yu, both amused and exasperated, grabbed Kujou Hitomi's small hand and squeezed it hard, finally making her cover her mouth and stop talking.

Gin noticed this little action.

The information only stated that the two maintained contact, but now it seems that they not only maintained contact, but their relationship was also very close.

Gin glanced at Hoshimiya and the other person without showing any emotion, and then stopped paying attention to this matter.

We're all adults, the man is handsome and the woman is pretty, it's perfectly normal for us to become close after we get to know each other.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and just as Chianti was getting impatient, Gin finally spoke.

"From now on, you two will be my direct subordinates."

"Huh?!" x3

Three voices of doubt rang out simultaneously. Two of them were naturally Hoshimiya Yu and Kujou Hitomi, and the other was Chianti.

“GIN, you’re just like this…” Chianti was about to complain, but seeing Gin’s cold eyes, she stopped herself.

Forget it, I can't get along with someone like Gin who specializes in killing and executing traitors.

slip away.

Having not seen any interesting scenes and even being startled by Gin, Chianti felt incredibly unlucky.

Before leaving, he looked at Hoshimiya Yu with pity.

Hopefully, this handsome young man will be sensible and not provoke Gin.

She had a good impression of Xing Gongyu and was looking forward to working on missions together in the future.

Chianti's departure had no effect on the people present, and Gin offered no explanation, let alone any coercion or inducement.

That's just his personality; no amount of coercion or bribery can guarantee his loyalty.

Since that's the case, why waste words? He will use his own eyes to judge whether Xing Gongyu and the other person will betray him.

He asked Vodka to give Hoshiguma Yu and the other person a brief introduction to the organization, and then got up and left.

Hoshimiya Yu knows a lot about the people in the organization, but she knows nothing about the brewery organization itself.

Gin's blunt and simple recruitment also baffled him.

After a moment of stunned silence, Hoshiguma and the other looked at the vodka.

Vodka, as expected of Gin's personal secretary, remained completely calm throughout.

“Our organization has no name; it’s multinational… Core members will be awarded titles… You two now…”

After Vodka's explanation, Hoshimiya and the other person finally had a clearer understanding of the organization.

In summary, it is a very powerful and large transnational criminal organization.

The place is strictly hierarchical, with higher-ups addressing each other by code names, their identities unknown.

The organization's boss is even more mysterious; everyone refers to him as "that gentleman."

The reason why Hoshimiya and the other two were recruited was because Gin felt that they were capable, and since the organization was short of manpower recently, he planned to train them as core members.

Once he has sufficient strength and achievements, Gin will report to his superiors.

At that time, Hoshino and Yu will receive codenames personally bestowed by the boss.

Compared to ordinary members who start from the bottom, the two of them have already surpassed many others in terms of their starting point.

That's normal, though. Capable people get preferential treatment everywhere, and criminal organizations are no exception.

Unlike Gin, Vodka, after his introduction, didn't forget to make empty promises and threats.

After promising various benefits, they made it clear that not joining meant certain death.

Hoshimiya Yu had no intention of refusing from the beginning.

Being suddenly asked to join the winery was completely outside his plans and came much earlier than he expected.

But this coincided perfectly with his plans, and being invited to join was much safer than trying to contact them on his own.

Putting aside other factors, the suspicion of being a double agent is much smaller.

Especially since the inviter is Gin, it's practically the safest way to get in touch with the brewery.

Well, that is, provided that Hoshiguma Yu agrees and there are no signs of her turning back later.

There's no need to worry about that for now.

Before the FBI, CIA, Bourbon, and Bayonetta arrived in Japan and confronted the organization, Hoshimiya Yu would certainly not have considered becoming a traitor.

Once the red and black clash begins, he will definitely need to inform Conan beforehand.

The organization may look big, but it's actually riddled with holes, and Hoshiguma Yu doesn't want to perish with it.

From now until the FBI arrives in Japan, this period will be perfect for development.

Having just come into contact with the brewery, Hoshiguma Yu will have another opportunity for rapid development.

In just a short time, he had already completed three interactions: Chianti, Gin, and Vodka.

He was given three chances to draw his talent.

In the nearby experimental hall, there is also Shiho Miyano waiting to collect gold coins. You can also get rewards by contacting other members of the organization later.

With Vodka saying he would train him and Kujou Hitomi to become Gin's subordinates, it was practically a development package tailor-made for him.

For this reason, he'll have to help Gin a few more times in the future.

The Black Party is already in a terrible situation; if he continues to help the FBI, I'm afraid Gin and the organization will be wiped out even sooner.

An organization can fail, but not too soon.

This is closely related to Hoshimiya Hayao's own plans, so he intends to learn from Vermouth and help the organization one moment and Conan the next.

His relationship with the Suzuki mother and daughter had to be kept secret, especially with Suzuki Tomoko.

If the organization finds out about his relationship with the Suzuki mother and her two daughters, they will definitely want to use him to take control of the Suzuki Group.

That won't do. He's already reserved the Suzuki Group; it's his future foundation.

It seems I'll have to put my engagement to Sonoko on hold...

Fortunately, after forming a contract with Suzuki and her daughter, the matter was easily resolved.

Ayako Suzuki reneged on her arranged marriage, so it's even more likely that Sonoko Suzuki will agree to an engagement that wasn't announced at all.

In reality, after signing a contract with Tomoko Suzuki, Yu Hoshimiya was no longer required to formally marry into the Suzuki family.

After making a decision, Hoshiguma Yu pretended to ponder for a while before agreeing to join the organization.

Seeing that Hoshigumi Yu had agreed, Kujou Hitomi, who was in a daze, also nodded.

It's no wonder Kujou Hitomi felt a sense of unreality when her first encounter with the dark side of the world was with a massive organization like the Black Organization.
