Chapter 38: The Arms Dealer's Whereabouts, Ready to Take Action!
The meal was tasteless.
Both Ran and Conan were out of sorts, and Li Ze didn't say much about it.
He knew.
People tend to be like this when their worldview is shattered.
At nine o'clock that night, after sending Conan and Ran home, he yawned and returned to his house.
"Boss, you're back."
"This Mr. Ochiai, he says you hired him as your butler."
"Is that right?"
Alice greeted him.
Seeing the curator Ochiai standing nearby, bowing, with the aura of a quintessential British butler, Li Ze couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
He still nodded, then asked curiously, "Curator Ochiai, so soon? Did you handle the art museum?"
"I left it to my son for now," Ochiai said slowly, "It's just some miscellaneous tasks, my son can handle them."
"Since I promised you, Mr. Li, naturally I don't want to delay any further."
"More importantly, it's not necessary anymore!"
"Staying in that art museum, I couldn't help but think about the past."
"Now that those works have been preserved, my final obsession is gone."
"So, from now on."
"Ochiai will be loyal to your service, and I hope you don't mind!"
Li Ze nodded.
Since Ochiai had already said this, he naturally didn't bother to say anything more.
After a brief chat, he went back to the living room.
At this moment, Amuro Tooru also walked in, but upon seeing Ochiai, he closed his mouth just as he was about to speak.
Li Ze noticed and said directly, "Mr. Amuro, just say it. Ochiai will be my butler from now on, you don't need to hide anything from him."
"Okay, I understand." Amuro Tooru nodded and then said directly, "Boss, I've got what you asked for. The guy's name is Raizo Ooki, he runs an import and export company."
"But after my investigation, the company is just a shell, used to cover up his real business."
"His actual business is smuggling weapons."
"I've already pinpointed the location of his warehouse, you can move anytime, Boss."
"However, I received information that a new batch of weapons will be arriving from overseas at two in the morning today!"
Hearing this, Li Ze's eyes narrowed.
Good heavens!
After waiting so long, there's finally news.
And tonight.
There's a new shipment of weapons coming in, which is great news.
The special forces team only has small pistols.
The obvious security issues, that's not a problem.
But, the thing is.
He's already made enemies with the Fake Wine Factory, and they could attack him at any time.
Therefore.
For safety.
For revenge against the Fake Wine Factory.
To suppress his own "fear of insufficient firepower," he has to get this shipment of weapons.
Thinking about it, he immediately said.
"Hmm, very good."
"Alice, this is for you."
"Inform the special forces team, you're in charge tonight, take this shipment of weapons."
"As for that, Raizo Ooki?"
"Drain him dry, then dump him in the sea in a cement block!"
Alice nodded.
Even though she's been created and has never actually fought, it doesn't matter.
She has a vast amount of experience in this area implanted in her memory.
As the security director of the Umbrella Corporation Hive, dealing with a mere arms dealer is nothing.
Piece of cake!
"Okay, leave it to me!" Alice said, "I'll get ready."
Then.
Alice directly left the living room, went back to her room to change into battle gear, and then immediately notified the special forces team.
But, on the other side.
Seeing Alice in battle gear, Amuro Tooru was instantly stunned: "Boss, you're letting Alice lead?"
"Yeah, what's the problem?" Li Ze shrugged and said directly, "Alice is the security director of the corporation, it's just that the corporation doesn't need Alice at the moment."
"Once the corporation expands again and we have a core research team, Alice will definitely be responsible for that."
"A smuggler, a small fry."
"Alice is enough!"
Amuro Tooru, was bewildered.
Yes.
He couldn't imagine that the blonde beauty in his house was a security director.
To be honest.
He always thought Alice was Li Ze's lover.
But after a moment of contemplation, he still tried to speak: "I would like to join the action tonight."
"No problem, feel free!" Li Ze shrugged.
He knew.
While Amuro Tooru had sided with him, he still valued this country.
On the one hand.
He was afraid Alice would mess things up.
But, more importantly.
He was afraid of causing a major incident that would lead to negative publicity.
And, regarding this.
Alice just nodded at Amuro Tooru, not rejecting his request.
…
Twenty minutes later.
The members of the special forces team gathered, and there was also Natasha.
Amuro Tooru's eyes narrowed.
He knew these people were members of the PMC.
Therefore.
His eyes were naturally scrutinizing.
Then, he frowned.
Because he sensed the killing intent of these people.
They were definitely from the piles of dead bodies, as an undercover agent he was very sensitive to this.
And, on the other side.
While Amuro Tooru was scrutinizing the team, Li Ze spoke in astonishment.
"What?"
"Natasha, you're going too?"
"I don't think it's necessary, Alice can handle it."
But.
Natasha shrugged, casually said, "I'm getting rusty, the company's already on the right track, let's just flex our muscles tonight."
"Well, okay." Li Ze nodded in agreement.
He really had no choice.
For a high-quality employee like Natasha, even if her loyalty was 100%, he was still willing to respect her and discuss everything with her.
If she wants to go, then go.
Natasha smiled upon hearing this.
Then.
She went on to say, "One more thing, find a CEO as soon as possible. It's okay for me to handle things for a while, but I can't stay in the office forever."
"Okay, I understand." Li Ze sighed and said helplessly, "I'll do it as soon as possible."
"You can't rush this kind of thing, besides ability, loyalty is also important."
"It's hard to find this kind of talent."
Natasha nodded.
She knew this too, so she just mentioned it in advance.
Then.
The group drove away from Mita Town under Li Ze's gaze.
"Master, you… this…" Butler Ochiai frowned, "This is not illegal, is it?"
Yes.
He was dumbfounded.
The things these people just discussed were too high-end for him.
He just killed someone, it felt like the sky was falling.
He even felt like he was stained with the blood of a demon, he, a knight, had already stepped into hell.
But, now?
Look at Li Ze's side, they're already taking action against arms smugglers.
He…
Did he enter a den of thieves?
