Chapter 271

"Regardless of whether Vermouth's action this time is true or false, as long as Akai Akai Shuichi appears, we must turn that guy into a corpse..."

Behind him, Chianti showed an excited smile.

After nine o'clock at night, with a light drizzle, the car stopped more than a hundred meters away from the cafe.

Gin, Vodka, Korn, and Chianti got out of the car.

Chianti wore a hat, her eyes scanning the surrounding buildings one by one before she chuckled.

"There are high-rise buildings in all directions here; it's truly a great place for an ambush."

"It's just a pity that it suddenly started drizzling tonight, which might affect our vision and the accuracy of our sniping."

Gin pressed down his hat with a cold expression.

"Although rain will affect vision and accuracy, it can also help us erase traces, can't it?"

"Besides, even if one person misses, it doesn't matter; to be safe, there are quite a few of us in this ambush, and there will be plenty of opportunities for follow-up shots."

"Hmph! Follow-up shots? For us, if we still need follow-up shots for a target at a straight-line distance of less than three hundred meters, wouldn't that be too pathetic?"

Chianti snorted, looking up at the sky, some raindrops falling onto her face.

"As long as Akai Akai Shuichi appears today, he's a dead man!"

Gin raised his hand to check his watch and said: "The time is 9: 0; according to Vermouth's intelligence, he will probably leave the cafe around 10: 0, and that will be the time to act."

"Also, according to Vermouth's request, besides her, only the four of us know about this operation."

"If Akai Akai Shuichi doesn't appear, then there must be a traitor among the five of us."

"So, I hope he shows up on time."

Gin looked at the other three with a cold gaze.

However, they were already used to it, and their expressions didn't change at all.

Twenty minutes later, Korn and Chianti were both in position, while Gin and Vodka waited in the car.

Everything was ready, and everyone was staring at the entrance of the cafe, waiting only for the figure of Akai Shuichi Akai to appear.

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes passed, and the clock had already pointed to ten o'clock.

But Akai Shuichi Akai did not appear.

"Where is Vermouth?"

Vodka scanned the entire street with binoculars.

Because it was cold and raining, there wasn't a single person on the road.

There were only a few cars parked by the roadside.

Vermouth's location was nowhere to be seen.

"Big Brother, Vermouth wouldn't be lying to us, would she?"

Gin didn't speak; his dark green eyes were like those of a vicious wolf, and a sinister laugh escaped his lips.

"Heh, if that's the case, it would be even more interesting."

"Huh, the cafe lights are out, someone is coming out."

Vodka said suddenly.

Gin also immediately raised his binoculars.

Akai Shuichi Akai, wearing a black knit cap and carrying a black bag, walked out of the cafe with a cigarette dangling from his mouth.

He stood at the entrance, looking up at the raindrops in the sky.

The streetlights shone on his face, clearly revealing his features.

"Akai Shuichi Akai! He really appeared!"

"Gin, should we make a move?"

Chianti's eager voice came through the earpiece.

"Wait, don't be impatient, let Vermouth make the first move."

A dangerous light flickered in Gin's eyes.

In the field of view of the binoculars, Akai Shuichi Akai began to move; he walked two steps along the street, then suddenly stopped.

Akai Shuichi Akai turned around alertly and reached his hand into his bag.

At the same time, the door of the car parked on the side of the road opened, revealing Vermouth lying on the back seat.

"Silver Bullet, goodbye."

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft...

The pistol equipped with a silencer made a low sound.

Akai Shuichi Akai was forced backward repeatedly, several wounds appearing on his body as blood gushed out from them.

Gin stared closely at every detail through the binoculars, but unfortunately, there was some light rain in the air, so it wasn't very clear.

Vermouth finished firing her entire magazine, and Akai Shuichi Akai had already leaned against the glass display window behind him.

One of his eyes was tightly shut due to the pain, while the other was wide open, staring at the woman with a look of hatred.

"Vermouth, so it was you..."

"I never thought it would come to this!"

Akai Shuichi Akai pulled his hand out of the bag with effort; he was holding a black object in his hand.

"Chianti, fire a shot at his head!"

Gin commanded into the earpiece.

Bang.

A massive gunshot rang through the quiet, rainy night.

The bullet instantly pierced through Akai Shuichi Akai's head and struck the display window behind him.

The glass shattered with a crash.

Akai Shuichi Akai fell stiffly into the dark shop, and the black object in his hand rolled away, landing on the ground.

Gin's binoculars followed the movement.

Seeing that there were only a few seconds left on the countdown, he suddenly shouted into the earpiece: "Watch out, there's a bomb!"

Boom!

A massive explosion illuminated the dark night.

Vermouth rolled out from the other end of the car in a disheveled state.

"Pick her up, we're leaving."

Gin lowered his binoculars, a satisfied smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Goodbye, Silver Bullet! No, it's goodbye forever!"

The next day, a news report played on the television.

"An explosion occurred near a high-end apartment complex last night. The deceased is a male between 20 and 30 years old. Because the body was charred, the identity cannot be confirmed..."

"According to reliable sources, there were also multiple gunshot wounds on the remains. The police have currently determined this to be a case of intentional homicide and have opened an investigation."

Vodka watched the news and grinned.

"Vermouth, you're really something. You killed the traitor that the organization hasn't been able to take down for so many years."

"But why was Akai Shuichi Akai hiding in that cafe? That really is a puzzling matter."

Gin, beside him, scrutinized the blonde woman.

Vermouth smiled and said, "At first I was puzzled too, until one day, I saw two people walk into the cafe."

"Who?"

"Akaso Kaze and Jodie."

Hearing the name of the Onmyoji, Gin couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

"Later I found out that the FBI investigator lives in the high-end apartment across the street, and Akaso Kaze has been visiting her frequently lately."

"An Onmyoji and an FBI agent together?"

Gin's eyes flickered.

"But that Jodie should be Akai Shuichi Akai's superior, right? Why would he be monitoring his own superior?"

"Heh, you probably don't know this, but before Akai Shuichi Akai infiltrated our organization, he and Jodie were boyfriend and girlfriend."

"Men are always prone to jealousy."
