Chapter 277: I'm sorry, this is your destiny

"Father..."

Rena Mizunashi also knew something had gone wrong; I'm afraid both of them would be exposed now.

What to do?

She couldn't imagine that the organization would be so cautious as to install a tracker on a newcomer who had just joined.

"It seems we've both been exposed."

Ethan Hondou leaned silently against the wall.

It's over, everything is over.

"Father, maybe the organization didn't..."

Rena Mizunashi's words seemed to be full of that tiny possibility.

In a desperate situation, newcomers always think they will have good luck to escape the organization's pursuit.

"No, Eihai, never underestimate the organization's methods. Now, I just hope that legend is true."

Ethan Hondou held back his complex emotions.

He shouted toward the darkness: "Lord Onmyoji, it's time for you to fulfill your promise."

Onmyoji?

Could it be that person from the legend?

Rena Mizunashi looked toward the darkness with ignorant eyes.

Huh?

Akaso Kaze, who was watching the development of the situation, had a head full of black lines.

He originally intended to watch a tragic drama of fatherly sacrifice, how did they start calling him?

But at this time, it was impossible not to show up.

Because Gin and the others were almost there.

If they arrived and this father and daughter were still shouting for an Onmyoji, that would be a huge joke.

A black shadow appeared out of thin air in front of the two.

Ethan Hondou and Rena Mizunashi couldn't help but widen their eyes.

This legendary, omnipotent Onmyoji is actually so young?

Rena Mizunashi was still stunned, but Ethan Hondou had already said urgently: "Lord Akaso, please take my daughter away immediately. From now on... I'll leave her to you."

Akaso Kaze looked at Ethan Hondou with a strange expression.

This guy doesn't think that one request would make me take on a drag, does he?

Ethan Hondou also reacted quickly.

"Please find a way to send them to CIA headquarters; someone will arrange a witness protection program."

Akaso Kaze nodded.

That was easy to do.

Having been to the United States, he could even open a space gate directly and send Rena Mizunashi away.

But Ethan Hondou was bound to die.

Having experienced the last incident, Akaso Kaze knew very well.

Once something that might change the fate of a key character is done, the time-space travel will be terminated immediately.

And this specific time point came from Rena Mizunashi.

Her father's life and death must be related to her destiny.

I'm afraid that as soon as I decide to save Ethan Hondou, I will enter the return countdown.

At that time, nothing can be changed, and this trip will have been for nothing.

Moreover, forcibly changing what has already happened might affect Rena Mizunashi's present and future.

If she ends up a vegetable, that would be a waste.

Akaso Kaze is very suspicious now.

It's possible that the world barrier on Vermouth was the result of the last thing I did during my travel.

"No, Father, I'm not going!"

Rena Mizunashi said loudly: "I can't watch you die while I live on."

She suddenly threw herself in front of Akaso Kaze, knelt down and said: "Please, save my father, I... I also want to make a request, with everything I have..."

The girl was in tears, her eyes full of pleading.

Akaso Kaze curled his lips and pulled her up.

"I'm sorry, this is your father's destiny, and it is also your destiny."

"With my current ability, I can only go with the flow."

Akaso Kaze stopped looking at the crying girl; that would make him soft-hearted.

"Then let's begin. Do as I say, and in the future, your daughter will have a day to avenge you."

Akaso Kaze cast his thought-hand, sent a text message using Gin's phone, and then deleted it.

Then he directed Ethan Hondou to start disguising the scene.

Finally, Ethan Hondou bowed deeply to Akaso Kaze.

"Lord Akaso, I'll leave them to you from now on."

After Akaso Kaze nodded, he came to his daughter and said with a gentle expression:

"Eihai, I'll leave Eisuke to you from now on. It's my fault as a father for dragging you into danger."

"Father!"

Rena Mizunashi was biting Ethan Hondou's wrist at this time, fresh blood mixed with her tears.

Looking at her father's gradually pale face, Rena Mizunashi understood that her father was going to use his life to pave the way for her.

"I'm sorry, Eihai, I left you when you were young; I'm truly a failed father."

The corners of Ethan Hondou's eyes also gradually turned red; holding back the grief in his heart, he told Rena Mizunashi his last words.

"There are also undercover agents from the organization in the CIA. In this world, the only person you can truly trust is Lord Onmyoji..."

"Gin and the others are at the door."

Akaso Kaze reminded her.

Before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared into the darkness.

As if he had never appeared at all.

Hearing Akaso Kaze's words, Ethan Hondou shoved his gun into Rena Mizunashi's hand.

"What are you still standing there for? Shoot!!!" He gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.

How could Rena Mizunashi bring herself to do it?

The gun was aimed at her father.

"Clang!"

The rolling door was opened.

Ethan Hondou suddenly roared, "Bastard!"

He pulled Rena Mizunashi's hand and pulled the trigger.

"Bang!"

At the same time the gun fired, the moonlight outside the warehouse illuminated everything in the darkness, and also illuminated Ethan Hondou, who was sent flying by the shot.

His heart was pierced directly by the bullet, and a blood-red flower named protection bloomed on his chest.

"This is truly a shocking scene!"

Gin looked with some surprise at Vermouth, who was clutching a pistol and covered in wounds.

Her mouth and face were completely covered in blood; it was impossible to tell what she originally looked like. She was fierce to the extreme.

As for the tears—well, for a girl in her early twenties to be beaten like this, it would be more exaggerated if she didn't cry.

Vermouth turned her head to look at Gin, then suddenly collapsed to the ground.

Vodka immediately ran to Vermouth's side and checked her vital signs.

"She's just unconscious. It's probably because she suddenly let her guard down when she saw the two of us."

Vodka judged.

Gin, with a cigarette hanging from his mouth, wore an expression of surprise.

"What is this girl doing here? Vodka, check her phone."

Vodka picked up the phone and looked at it.

"Huh, there seems to be a text message sent by you, telling her to come here for an assignment."

Gin frowned and checked his own phone, confirming that he hadn't sent any messages.

"Take her back for an examination."

The next day, the investigation results were placed before Gin.

"Heh, the matter is clear. Ethan Hondou used Big Brother's name to call her here, wanting to interrogate her about something, but who knew this girl would turn the tables on him."

"After examination, Vermouth was injected with a drug similar to a truth serum, and she has no less than ten wounds of varying sizes on her body, plus a mild concussion."

"To cause so much damage in such a short time, it seems the other party was desperate."

"And according to the recording on the phone Ethan Hondou left behind, he wanted to ask for information about the organization, hoping to take it back to the CIA to claim credit. However, Vermouth didn't reveal a single word about any information regarding the organization."

"This newcomer is really capable of enduring."

Vodka couldn't help but exclaim.

Gin tossed the report aside, showing a look of regret.

It was a pity; the lead on the undercover agent had been cut off at Ethan Hondou.

He had thought he might be able to kill a few more.

Vermouth lay in the organization's infirmary, wrapped in many bandages, her gaze somewhat dull.

She couldn't help but want to cry out loud, but she didn't dare.

She could only bite her lip tightly, holding back her tears.

Her father was dead; how was she supposed to explain this to her younger brother?

"How are you feeling?"

A voice suddenly came to her ear.

Vermouth's eyes darted around.

There was no one in the room; who was speaking?

She suddenly realized and muttered with some resentment: "Hmph, Onmyoji..."

Akaso Kaze curled his lips.

This girl was probably still secretly cursing him in her heart.

"Hold it in, don't scream. I'll show you your father."

My father?!

Vermouth felt no surprise at all; instead, she felt some anger.

My father died right in front of me, and you're telling me you'll show me my father...
