Without notifying Gin, he shouldered his sniper rifle and ran toward the back of the commercial building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akai Akai Shuichi watched Camel and the others leave. He leaned against the wall at the entrance of a small goods store, the muzzle of the gun in his hand pointed upward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His deep green eyes remained fixed on the window from which the bullet had just been fired, his brow furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The person who fired just now was a woman. Was it Chianti?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard she was one of the helpers Gin used in the previous attack on the Ferris wheel. If that's the case, Gin must be nearby too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If they are both aiming at me from the surroundings with sniper rifles, that would be troublesome.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akai Akai Shuichi pondered, then suddenly raised his pistol and fired two shots in succession toward the muzzle flash where Chianti was, waiting for her response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the blink of an eye, half a minute passed. Akai Akai Shuichi did not see any response from the other side. His heart suddenly trembled, and he felt a vague sense of unease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But Camel is no weakling, and with Vermouth as a hostage, once a firefight starts, if I rush over to support, I will definitely get bogged down in a stalemate. They might all be dragged here and unable to escape. Unless...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Akai Akai Shuichi suddenly thought of a possibility. He turned his head to look at Camel, who was running in the distance while dragging Vermouth, and his heart skipped a beat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, Camel, dragging Vermouth, happened to escape to the front entrance of a commercial building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*Swish.* In an instant, the lights of the entire commercial building went out simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screams from countless people erupted in the darkness, creating chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Camel was distracted by the sudden turn of events and turned his head to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that split second, his grip suddenly loosened, and Vermouth had already broken free.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slammed violently into the glass door beside her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the sound of shattering glass, Vermouth's figure disappeared into the dark commercial building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, in the alley behind the commercial building.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vermouth rushed out from the back door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A car screeched to a halt beside her. The driver was covered up tightly, making it impossible to see their face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vermouth opened the passenger door and sat inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car sped away, leaving the dangerous area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vermouth let out a long sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking that Akaso Kaze had only helped her turn off the lights in the commercial building and opened a spatial gate leading directly to the back door, she couldn't help but feel that this deal was a bit of a loss.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the direction the car was heading, Vermouth was slightly stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Calvados, what are you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vermouth turned her head and suddenly her eyes narrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person driving removed their disguise and smiled slightly at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vermouth, we meet again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jodie! Why is it you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vermouth was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before she could make a move, a pistol was already aimed at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half an hour later, the car stopped at the pier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jodie pointed her gun at Vermouth and brought her out of the car.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the moon in the sky emitting an eerie glow, Jodie said coldly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is just as round as the moon in America twenty years ago, isn't it, Vermouth? Or should I call you Chris, or Sharon?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Vermouth's eyes narrowed. \"Who exactly are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who am I?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jodie raised her finger and placed it to her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Remember? A secret makes a woman beautiful! That was the last sentence you left for me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You said this to me, told me my father was asleep, let me stay by his side, and then burned down my house!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Speaking of this, Jodie slowly narrowed her eyes, as if recalling those blurred, painful memories that sometimes woke her up from nightmares!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hoo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jodie took a breath and widened her eyes again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But, you didn't kill me back then. Perhaps that was the biggest mistake you made.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I thought my mom and dad were asleep, and I wanted to do something for them, so I ran out to buy things!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh heh.\" Vermouth tossed her long golden hair. \"So you were that little girl. A cute little sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little sister? That's right, twenty years have passed in a flash. In front of you, I really am just at the age of a little sister.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jodie smoothed her glasses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you still remember these glasses?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Twenty years ago, in order to fake the scene and make it look like my father committed suicide, you put these glasses, which had fallen on the ground, on him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately, you inadvertently left fingerprints on the lenses. If it were you now, you certainly wouldn't make such a mistake.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After I caught you, I conducted a comparison. It's truly unexpected; that fingerprint was exactly the same as yours!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A strange light flashed in Jodie's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In other words, the person who killed my father twenty years ago was actually you! This conclusion surprised me, because you are so young.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So, are you Chris...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"You really are worthy of being an FBI agent; just because of one catchphrase of mine, you've figured out so many things!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corners of Vermouth's mouth curled up slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wonder Gin and the others were able to obtain my transport route in advance; it was probably you who provided it to them, wasn't it? Was your goal to take my life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jodie gave a cold snort and said with an expressionless face:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I've already heard that you reached an agreement with the FBI's top brass: as long as you are sent to the United States, you will agree to become a witness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you are rescued by the organization, you remain a high-ranking member, but if you truly reach the United States, you can successfully break free from the organization's control and become an FBI witness.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You really are worthy of being the thousand-faced witch, Vermouth, having even prepared an escape route. It's just a pity that you probably didn't expect to fall into my hands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh.\" Vermouth laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have more than one escape route.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Did you think I would really get into the car without confirming the driver's identity?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I knew it was you a long time ago; I let you take me away on purpose.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And what could be easier to escape a dangerous place than having an FBI investigator lead the way?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for now...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gust of wind blew by, Vermouth's long golden hair fluttering with the wind, a smile of certain victory appearing on her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think I would have come with you alone? Little sister, you miscalculated.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She extended her fair right hand, forming it into the shape of a gun and aimed it at Jodie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Our reunion after twenty years ends here; it's time to say goodbye! Come on, give me a smile and thank me for sending you to see that father of yours who is far away in heaven!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, on the high rooftop, Calvados's sniper rifle was aimed at Jodie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Vermouth's posture, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he pulled the trigger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bullet spun as it flew out of the muzzle, passed through a small, pitch-black door that had suddenly appeared, and then flew out from another door in reverse, drilling into the space between Calvados's eyebrows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The smile on Calvados's face hadn't even faded when a spray of blood mist exploded from the back of his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The luster in his eyes vanished instantly, his body went limp, and he slid down along the slanted roof.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the falling corpse, Vermouth's face turned white instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She screamed in shock: \"Cal?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that's how it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Vermouth finished speaking, a door opened in front of her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A tall figure walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So that guy's name is Cal! A sniper rifle, a shotgun, and three handguns—I thought he was an arms dealer?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Different firearms floated around him, thin spider threads guiding them, all aimed at Vermouth simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>",1414,"2026-06-17T04:04:55.481Z","2026-06-17T04:20:22.880Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","cdf0543c94029c5bc33e5d777a8cdaab5dba49b567df18530e75864fa29ba489","conan-the-mage-who-will-break-the-world-chapter-245","conan-the-mage-who-will-break-the-world-chapter-243",403,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fconan-the-mage-who-will-break-the-world-cover.jpg"]
