"Ring ring----"
The phone vibrating on the bed.
Deep in the quiet night, Fujiwara Tetsu glanced at the phone, then tightly held Haibara Ai, who was sound asleep in his arms. Gently, softly, he moved her small body aside and stepped out from under the covers.
Haibara Ai opened her eyes, watching Fujiwara Tetsu pick up his phone and walk out of the bedroom. She didn't make a sound, simply lying on the quilt that still held Fujiwara Tetsu's warmth, and continued to sleep.
"Hey, Boss."
The call to Fujiwara Tetsu was from James Black, the CIA director.
"Adam, something is very wrong."
"What happened?"
"MI6, Canadian CSIS, and Mossad. Several of their operatives have been murdered. Their common characteristic is that they all previously infiltrated that organization."
"So, you can thoroughly determine that it was that organization that infiltrated the CIA and stole information?"
"That's right, those damn guys actually dared to raid our CIA!" James Black's tone was furious.
Fujiwara Tetsu's heart stirred. He said, "Do you want to retaliate against them?"
If the CIA retaliated with full force, the Black Organization would definitely be unable to withstand it. The main reason that organization lived so comfortably was because it had the protection of official US organizations.
Fujiwara Tetsu was very suspicious. Besides the "Triple Three" (a common trope in fanfiction for a powerful, secret organization), that organization also had extremely close ties with other high-level figures in the US.
"No, that organization is still useful; they still have a necessary existence. However, the lesson they deserve still needs to be taught. Just casually kill some of their official members, tell them not to easily provoke us."
"Secondly, find that invader and kill her. According to CIA research, the invader doesn't record names electronically; she should have some special memory ability. This kind of person cannot be allowed to live."
"Understood!" Fujiwara Tetsu accepted the mission.
"Also, Bell might have been exposed, but she won't admit she's a CIA agent. Her younger brother is still in our hands, so you don't need to contact her directly and expose yourself."
...
"They're here, they're here!"
At Tokyo's Haneda Airport, many fans came to the airport lobby, eagerly awaiting the arrival of Hollywood superstar Chris Vineyard.
"It's Chris! It's Miss Chris!"
"Miss Chris, look here!"
"Wow, Miss Chris is really a great beauty. She looks even better in person than in photos."
"That's right, Miss Chris's mother is a Hollywood movie queen. Miss Chris is just not old enough right now. Give her a few more years, and Miss Chris will definitely become a movie queen too."
...
The airport was in chaos. Fans screamed, and the prepared security guards had to quickly intervene to maintain order.
Some tourists, upon hearing that the arriving star was Chris Vineyard, one by one joined her fan groups, taking photos with their phones on tiptoe.
Vermouth smiled gently and warmly. She didn't put on any celebrity airs and greeted her fans.
She even stopped walking to sign autographs for some female fans.
Even with the airport security urging her, she remained unfazed and insisted on signing autographs for fans, which brought her even more cheers.
"Miss Chris is truly so gentle."
"Yes, she just came and made up with someone; she definitely has to sign for me."
"Wuwuwu, Miss Chris is so nice, I just don't know if she has a boyfriend."
"Whether she has a boyfriend or not is none of your business!"
...
Finally, after walking out of the airport, Vermouth got into a car and, accompanied by bodyguards, headed to the hotel she had booked.
This time, she was coming to Cocoon as the Hollywood star Chris Vineyard, so she had to follow the official route.
Upon arriving at the Coconut Hotel, after completing the check-in procedures, a bodyguard stepped forward and whispered, "Miss Chris, there's a lady named Yukiko Kudo who wishes to meet you."
"Yukiko Kudo?"
Vermouth's heart stirred. She told the bodyguard to bring her over.
"Aunt Yukiko!"
Vermouth's current identity was the daughter of Sharon Vineyard. Given their relationship as teacher and sister, no matter how awkward, she had to call out "Aunt Yukiko."
"Chris, long time no see. The last time I saw you was at Sharon's funeral, right? Uh, sorry, I didn't mean to bring up your mother."
"It's okay. What's past is past. I've also emerged from the shadow of my mother's death. Aunt Yukiko, you don't have to worry."
"Aiya, it's better not to call me Auntie. I'm not even ten years older than you. Just call me big sister. You and your mother really look exactly alike. I didn't even know she had a daughter this old before."
Vermouth and Yukiko Kudo exchanged pleasantries.
"Sister Yukiko, your complexion looks very good."
"Really? Many people say so. Perhaps I've been taking good care of myself recently."
Yukiko Kudo touched her cheek.
Indeed, ever since she was nourished by Fujiwara Tetsu, she found herself much younger, whether it was her body or her psychological age.
"Are you here to promote a new movie this time, Chris?"
"Yes, after the promotion, I estimate I'll stay in Cocoon for a while."
Vermouth said this. She hadn't seen her little lover for three months, so of course she had to take a good rest.
"That's good too. Filming one movie a year, not exposing yourself completely to the public eye, and resting the rest of the time. You don't have to tire yourself out too much."
"If you need my help to stand for your movie promotion, please don't hesitate."
"With Sister Yukiko helping, this movie will definitely be a hit in Cocoon."
"Chris, your words are so pleasant to hear."
"But, well, I had already expected this," Vermouth said with a smile. "This movie has investment from the Suzuki family's foundation. When the celebration is held, Sister Yukiko must come."
"You invited me, so of course I'll come."
The two exchanged a few more pleasantries. Yukiko Kudo saw Chris's exhausted expression, so she took her leave.
This time, she had originally come to observe the enemy.
Returning from the hotel lobby to her room, and stepping inside, the gentle and cool demeanor Vermouth had displayed immediately vanished. Her entire being seemed to transform into a captivating and mature peach.
She took off her hat and coat, then kicked off her high heels with her beautiful legs clad in black stockings, picked up her laptop, and walked into the room.
"Boy actually didn't come to greet me." Vermouth said with a hint of displeasure.
However, she also understood that Kir's situation this time was too big. As a member of the CIA, she had to act according to the organization's rules.
Just like herself, although she couldn't wait to go directly to Fujiwara Tetsu's home and entangle with him, the organization's mission had to be prioritized.
"This time, I might have to clash with Boy." Vermouth shrugged...
She couldn't betray the organization, or rather, although she had become somewhat disloyal to the organization, it hadn't reached the point of betrayal.
It was just that Vermouth didn't want to harm Fujiwara Tetsu. So, the premise of this plan was not to harm Fujiwara Tetsu, but to bring Kir back.
If Kir betrayed them, then kill her on the spot. If she didn't betray them, bring her back to the organization.
Kir herself should have died long ago. It was Vermouth who wanted to execute her back then. If Vermouth hadn't found her abilities useful, Kir wouldn't be alive now.
Opening her laptop, connecting to a private channel, "MI6, CSIS, Mossad's moles have been cleared out. Vermouth, have you arrived at Cocoon yet?" Gin's cold voice came from the computer.
"I've arrived."
"Good. Then join us and capture the traitor there."
"Who's the traitor?"
"Bell and Bourbon!"
Vermouth frowned. Bell and Bourbon?
These two were members close to the core of the organization, and they were capable ones.
If they were also traitors, then who else in the organization was truly capable? Was it completely rotten from top to bottom?
Vermouth felt a sense of absurdity. This enormous ship of the Black Organization seemed to have been rotting all along. That it hadn't capsized could only be attributed to good luck.
Of course, Vermouth knew a lot about the organization's secrets. She knew even more clearly that the organization survived not because of the protection of these so-called core members.
Just like Gin, his strength was formidable, and his abilities were excellent in all aspects, but in the organization, his position was still that of a mere enforcer. He still had to obey the orders of several people.
The reason the organization had always survived and not been annihilated was because the topmost layer had long been entangled with the US high-level.
Vermouth even suspected that, in some unknown way, certain US high-level officials were actually members or even founders of the organization.
...
Shinomiyagi Residence—
"Young Mistress Kaguya, please allow me to take a day off today."
Hayasaka Ai, dressed in her maid uniform, bowed before Kaguya Shinomiya's large bed in the middle of the night.
Kaguya Shinomiya, who had just woken up, yawned and said, "What time is it? Hayasaka 4.0."
"It's already 6:30 AM, Young Mistress Kaguya," Hayasaka Ai replied.
"Only 6:30 AM? I don't have school today, I want to keep sleeping."
Hayasaka Ai's forehead twitched. The thought of waking up at 5 AM every day and then having to deal with a pile of troublesome things made her ache!
"Then, Young Mistress, about my leave?"
"Alright, I'll give you a day off. Just don't make any noise and go to sleep."
Kaguya Shinomiya hugged her thin quilt and fell back into dreams.
"Thank you for your understanding, Young Mistress Kaguya!"
Hayasaka Ai left Kaguya Shinomiya's bedroom. Once the door closed, she immediately cheered, tossing off her maid uniform and throwing it aside.
This old lady can finally rest for a day! If this continues, one day this old lady will be crushed by pressure!
Changing into her usual JK uniform, Hayasaka Ai decided that today she would have a good, carefree holiday!
Hmm, a new aquarium had opened, so she should go check it out.
With this thought, Hayasaka Ai ate breakfast, and in the morning, rushed to the aquarium as soon as it opened.
Then, she saw another familiar face.
"Fuji... Fujiwara Young Master, why are you here?"
Hayasaka Ai looked awkwardly at Fujiwara Tetsu in front of her.
