Chapter 9: The Damn Fake Liquor Factory, Li Ze Prepares to Fight Back!
Li Ze: “…”
Hidden in the shadows, he began cursing after hearing Vodka’s words.
Damn it.
He knew that swallowing the assets of the Segawa Zaibatsu would attract a pack of hyenas.
But he never expected...
The first to come would be the fake liquor factory.
Damn it.
This damn Vodka!
Li Ze was furious.
If he had a choice, he would’ve shot this bastard.
On the other side.
Gin stood there, stunned.
Apparently,
He didn’t expect there to be a special bonus tonight.
After a brief thought, he said coldly:
“Inform the outside members, go contact that Li Ze.”
“If he’s smart, let him be a puppet, make him kill a few people as a show of loyalty, and directly accept him as an outside member of the organization.”
“If he’s not smart, send him a bullet!”
After finishing.
Gin left directly.
Vodka nodded, feeling slightly relieved.
Well, good.
Although he made a mistake today, he’s considered to have atoned for his sins.
Thinking about it.
He hurried after Gin, the two of them left one after another.
…
About five minutes later.
Li Ze closed his eyes and hid in the bushes, his aura completely concealed.
Only after he couldn’t sense Gin and Vodka’s aura anymore, did he slowly walk out of the forest.
Looking at the unconscious Kudo Shinichi, Li Ze’s expression was calm.
Ah!
Just then.
Kudo Shinichi let out a scream, then his body began to turn red, like a roasted piglet, even emitting wisps of smoke.
Seeing this.
Li Ze took out his camera, a wicked smile on his lips.
He clicked away, taking a bunch of photos. When Kudo Shinichi completely shrunk, turning into a seven-year-old elementary school student, he smiled, tucked the camera into his pocket, yawned, and left.
Help? Sorry!
He was too lazy to get involved in the main plot, after all, reality wasn’t an anime.
Kudo Shinichi was too reckless!
This kind of guy was only suitable for being used, not as a true ally.
Otherwise.
He wouldn’t even know how he died!
“Well, good.”
“Today’s harvest is surprisingly abundant!”
“The Suzuki Zaibatsu has appeared, I have the handle on Conan, and there’s also the fake liquor factory…”
“It seems I need to make plans ahead of time.”
Li Ze’s eyes flickered.
He thought for a moment, then turned and left.
As for the one lying in front of him, the shrunken famous detective?
He wasn’t worried.
As the world’s favorite son, this guy wouldn’t be in danger even if anything happened.
…
Ten minutes later.
He caught up with Ran and Sonoko outside the Tropical Land amusement park.
“Ran, I’m sorry.”
“Kudo ran too fast, I couldn’t catch him.”
Li Ze shrugged.
Hearing these words, the light in Ran’s eyes began to fade.
But.
With Li Ze and Sonoko present, she still managed to force a wry smile.
“Yes, I understand.”
“Li Ze-kun is right, Kudo is an adult, he won’t be in trouble.”
“Let’s go back.”
Maoli Lan smiled very reluctantly.
Sonoko naturally noticed this, but there was nothing she could do to comfort her.
She could only curse Kudo in her heart for being unreliable, and try her best to persuade Ran to think positively.
But, unfortunately.
Because it was already late, Sonoko had promised to go home for dinner tonight, and Ran had to go home to cook for her useless dad.
So.
The three of them chatted briefly, then went their separate ways.
…
Evening, eight o’clock.
After Li Ze returned home, Alice was busy in the kitchen.
“Boss, wait a moment.” Alice smiled and said: “Just one more dish.”
Li Ze nodded: “You’ve worked hard, are you alone at home?”
“Yes, they all went to the company.” Alice replied.
Li Ze pondered for a moment.
A moment later.
He still picked up his brick phone, called Natasha and asked them to come back as soon as possible.
Half an hour later, in the living room dining table.
Besides Li Ze and Alice, Natasha and James Schroeder had also returned.
He didn’t waste words.
He simply introduced the situation of the fake liquor factory, and then told everyone about his encounter tonight, then said calmly:
“That’s the situation.”
“For a black organization like the fake liquor factory, since they dare to attack us, then we must hurt them once and for all.”
“Otherwise.”
“It will be endless, our company has to develop, we don’t have time to get entangled with the fake liquor factory.”
“So, Captain James!”
“Can you legally kill people in Japan with your PMC employee identity?”
“After killing legally, can the police department here account for it?”
Li Ze’s tone was heavy.
Obviously.
He was going to be ruthless this time, he planned to kill everyone who came looking for trouble.
To put it simply, it’s a warning to the chickens!
He wanted to let the fake liquor factory know that he wasn’t someone to be trifled with.
Only by completely deterring the fake liquor factory could he do business properly in the future.
There was no other way.
He knew the nature of the fake liquor factory, showing weakness would only make them more arrogant, it was better to counterattack with all his strength from the beginning.
As for, a complete feud?
Impossible!
As long as he investigated his identity, he would know that he was not an organization like the FBI, and there was no need for a life-or-death battle with the fake liquor factory. In this case, letting sleeping dogs lie was the best solution for the dark organization.
Of course, the premise was.
He had to be strong enough to withstand the pressure from the fake liquor factory.
And, this point.
He may not have had confidence before, but the situation was different now.
Having the Umbrella subsidiary U.B.C.S assault team, he was not afraid of the so-called dark organization.
As long as he could withstand the first wave, then the company would gradually develop.
He could summon more armed members, maybe even fight back against the fake liquor factory in the future.
So, this time.
In order to scare off the fake liquor factory and give the company time to develop, he had to fight back hard.
Because the weaker he was, the tougher he had to be!
“Okay, no problem.” James Schroeder said directly: “As long as it’s not excessive, there’s absolutely no problem.”
“This time, the contract we received on the surface is to absolutely protect the employer’s safety.”
“In emergencies, we can defend ourselves!”
“We have an authorization letter signed by Odagiri Toshiro, Police Inspector of the Metropolitan Police Department’s Criminal Affairs Division.”
Alice remained silent.
As a clone, the limited memories implanted in her didn’t have this kind of information.
So.
Besides combat experience in security, and the fictional hobbies implanted in her, such as her love of cooking, she really didn’t know anything else.
She was still learning at this stage.
On the contrary.
Natasha, who was a Level 8 agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. in her previous life, nodded and said:
“In my opinion, it’s no problem.”
“After all, our overt backing is from the US side, a PMC that collaborates with the Department of Defense.”
“It’s not worth alarming the US for a small matter.”
“The Japan Defense Agency also can’t afford to lose face.”
Li Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
Good!
Since there were legal procedures from the police department, and Natasha, the agent, had given the nod.
Thinking about it.
He took a deep breath and said viciously:
“Okay, since that’s the case.”
“Then we’ll do it!”
“Based on my understanding of the fake liquor factory, they will most likely act tonight.”
“Captain James, call the assault team back.”
“Tonight, no matter who comes, kill them all!”
“Then, call the police.”
“When the police come to investigate, push everything onto the PMC.”
“After dinner, start the operation!”
