Chapter 28: Recruiting Amuro Tooru, He Actually Agreed?
Li Ze's eyes narrowed slightly at the words.
He never expected Amuro Tooru to be so sharp.
He had just met with Odaギリ敏郎 today, and this guy had figured out the details in just one day, even speculating that Odaギリ敏郎 would tell him about Amuro Tooru’s true identity.
He had to admit, the guy was smart.
Yes.
From today’s situation, Odaギリ敏郎 was prepared to tell him.
However, he hadn't anticipated it.
He knew more than him!
However, these things.
He didn't plan to tell Amuro Tooru, but he simply spoke calmly.
“Yes.”
“First, I actually knew your identity a long time ago.”
“However, it’s not entirely accurate.”
“It wasn't Odaギリ敏郎 who told me, I already knew your true identity.”
“PMC, understand?”
“For those who often deal with intelligence agencies, getting some intelligence is nothing difficult at all.”
“Remember yesterday, I specifically kept you around?”
“Those words were specifically said to you because I’m very aware of the personalities of those who go undercover.”
“Although you are indeed a positive figure, sometimes, for the sake of better undercover work, you must have stained your hands with blood.”
“If betraying me could let me take a step further within the organization, you wouldn’t mind using me as a stepping stone.”
“Am I right?”
“Bourbon? Furuya Rei?”
Amuro Tooru was slightly stunned.
His identity was exposed?
Wait, no!
He was a lone wolf within the organization, especially after obtaining his codename, he rarely interacted with others.
Therefore.
Even the organization’s general codename members wouldn’t know his information.
Not to mention his Public Safety identity!
How could a mere intelligence organization know this?
“No, it doesn't make sense!”
“Although your reason is convincing, and you indeed did that last night.”
“But my identity is impossible to expose, I admit that PMCs have some means and capabilities, but this level of intelligence is not within their scope.”
“You are definitely hiding something!”
Amuro Tooru was very smart.
He didn't have any capital support, he had fought his way to this point.
Especially being undercover within the organization, if his logic was weak, he would have been exposed and killed.
So.
Seeing this, Li Ze pondered for a moment before speaking.
“Well, you’re sharp!”
“Indeed, you are worthy of being a person who can truly go undercover within the organization in the Public Safety.”
“I did hide some things from you, but I didn’t lie to you.”
“The intelligence about the organization and you is indeed from PMC, I didn't deceive you in this matter.”
“As for the rest, I’m sorry!”
“Why should I tell you?”
“Don't you know, information is valuable?”
“Of course…”
“You are a very capable person, that’s why I know your identity, and am willing to keep you.”
“After all, talent is rare.”
“I can tell you some information, but I need you to join my forces. Of course, I will also use my power to support you as quickly as possible.”
“Interested in this deal?”
Li Ze smiled as he spoke.
If it were in China, it would naturally be impossible.
But here?
It’s inherently a capitalist society, those who truly rise to the top, which one doesn’t have a chaebol backing them?
Therefore.
He truly saw value in Amuro Tooru, and wanted to directly make him his own.
On the other hand.
Amuro Tooru was instantly stunned after listening.
This is to recruit him?
He, his eyes narrowed slightly.
He looked at Li Ze in front of him, a hint of coldness on his lips.
Honestly.
He understood many things about this country better than anyone else.
To reach the top, you must rely on people to support you.
Before.
Chaebols had also extended olive branches to him, but he had refused them all.
The reason, he couldn’t bear it.
He, who was arrogant and proud at the time, swore to reach the top with his own abilities and change everything.
However, unfortunately.
Before he could truly start his work, he angered some important people, so before even entering the Metropolitan Police Department, he was sent to infiltrate the dark organization.
To put it bluntly, it was a targeted attack!
Although he was very angry back then, for his goal in his heart, he was unwilling to quit the police force.
So.
He accepted his superiors’ arrangement, relying on his own abilities, he infiltrated the dark organization and became a codenamed member.
Also, at this moment.
He finally truly gained the attention of the higher-ups, and with him as the core, a secret ‘Zero’ team was established.
However.
After all these years of ups and downs, he also understood in his heart.
No matter how great his achievements were, once he returned to the Public Safety, he would at most be a Police Inspector in this lifetime.
There’s no way around it.
Who told him to offend the chaebols?
Without a power base to support him, simply relying on the high-level officials backed by chaebols could suppress him, preventing him from being promoted.
Now…
Someone extended an olive branch to him again.
Should he accept it?
After pondering for a long time, he couldn’t help but chuckle bitterly, because he understood very well in his heart.
He hesitated.
And hesitation in itself, represented a lot.
Then, upon careful consideration.
Li Ze was different from other chaebols, he fought his way to the top.
From this point of view, he was indeed inferior to him.
So.
If he had to rely on a power base, perhaps this Li Ze was the best choice.
More importantly.
Through his own investigations, and direct contact, Li Ze’s character was not bad.
Plus.
He could also get some information.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath.
“Okay, I agree.”
“Can you tell me now?”
This time, Li Ze was stunned.
Yes.
He really didn't expect this recruitment to be so easy.
This is Amuro Tooru!
A truly powerful figure on the red side, a person who values the country more than anything in his life.
However, after thinking about it carefully.
His understanding of Amuro Tooru was almost entirely from the manga.
But, in reality?
In reality, human nature is complex.
It’s normal for things to change.
As for, going back on his word?
Hehe.
No one dares to offend chaebols!
Otherwise.
He didn’t need to make a move, Odaギリ敏郎 could handle him.
“Of course you can, welcome aboard.” Li Ze smiled, then without hesitation, he continued, “You, are just a pawn.”
“The dark organization can’t be destroyed, because no one wants it to end!”
“Amuro Tooru, your vision is too narrow.”
“I want to tell you, in this world, besides the Five Great Powers, everything else is trash.”
“A rat hiding in the gutter, the only reason it can exist, is because the Five Great Powers don’t want it to die.”
“You’re undercover in the organization, you should know that the organization is conducting a mysterious research project, right?”
“I can tell you, everyone is watching!”
“The day that research succeeds is the day the organization will be destroyed.”
“Before that, you guys who are undercover are more like supervisors.”
“So, intelligence?”
“For those who are qualified to sit at the table, there are no secrets in the so-called dark organization!”
