Hey kid, what are you saying?"
Vodka unhappily raised his head to look at Bai Ye. In front of his elder brother Gin, how could this guy be so arrogant?
Didn't he know he was being targeted by a sniper rifle?
Looking at the hooded man whose face was obscured, he curled his lip. He was just someone hiding his head and showing his tail!
"Money for goods, goods for money, that's the rule of the underworld. Any problem?"
Bai Ye raised his head to look at Vodka. Staring at the pair of eyes peeking out from beneath the dark hood, Vodka's mind reeled, and a chilling sensation instantly swept through his entire body.
He felt as if he would be killed by the other party in the next second.
"Brother!"
Vodka quickly turned his head to look at Gin. Seeing his elder brother as calm as ever, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. His elder brother was indeed calm.
At the same time, he unconsciously took a step back.
"Alright, we've brought the goods. You wanted the Bullet, where's our money?"
Gin waved his hand, then raised it to signal Vodka to give him the box.
Seeing this, Vodka handed the box to Gin. Gin opened it, and inside was the Bullet that Bai Ye had requested earlier.
For the first transaction, it was obviously impossible to ask for missiles. Besides, Bai Ye wasn't even sure if the Black Organization could get them.
But speaking of it, maybe he could have Biochemical Bai Ye get some later.
While thinking, Bai Ye also placed the money he had prepared in front of the two.
Previously, Pirate Bai Ye from the Pirate World had given him one hundred kilograms of gold, which was exchanged for about five million US dollars. A Bullet didn't cost much, and Bai Ye planned to save most of the money for later, as he still needed to buy missiles.
It had to be said that this kind of sniper rifle was quite cheap, but the Bullets were really expensive.
"Vodka."
"Yes, Brother!"
Vodka put down the box and then took it from Bai Ye's hand.
"It's real, Brother."
"Let's go."
Gin nodded and then prepared to leave.
Although the Black Organization liked to silence people, they didn't silence everyone. After all, the other party was just trading firearms and wasn't involved in their core secrets. There was no need to silence them; they might even do business again in the future.
"Wait, can you get missiles?"
"?"
A hint of surprise flashed across Gin's face, and Vodka beside him also looked at Bai Ye with an absurd expression.
Are you serious, bro?!
The first time you asked for a Bullet, the second time you asked for missiles. What will you ask for next time?
Originally, they had only intended to offer a pistol or a less powerful submachine gun to test Bai Ye during their first transaction.
After all, it was the first transaction, and they didn't know the other party's situation. If it was a cop trying to arrest them, then bringing weapons to the transaction would indeed be very troublesome.
But fortunately, the first transaction went smoothly. The other party seemed to genuinely only want a Bullet. However, after this Bullet, you immediately asked for missiles. Aren't you being a bit too greedy?
"What kind of missile?"
Gin, on the other hand, became interested.
"As expected."
The Conan world, indeed, cannot be viewed as a normal world. The Black Organization is an organization that spans the entire world, so getting missiles might not be difficult for them.
Bai Ye had only tentatively asked. Since they had them, Bai Ye certainly wouldn't be polite.
He had said back in the Pirate World that he wanted to have long-range strike capabilities. It shouldn't be only Imu who had them. He wanted Imu to know that he also had weapons that could take his holy land's life with a single missile strike at any time!
"Something that strikes farther and has greater power."
"No?! Are you crazy?!"
Vodka felt that Bai Ye was truly insane.
What did he want these missiles for?!
"If you have the money, we can get them for you, but at least you need to show us some sincerity, right?"
Missiles were not easy to acquire, and most importantly, what did Bai Ye want them for?
Compared to Vodka, Gin didn't think Bai Ye was crazy.
The other party was trading such things with him. Although the purpose was unclear, since he wanted them, he obviously had his own ideas.
However, they certainly couldn't just give away missiles. Who knew if they would be used against them directly later on?
At least not until later, and without knowing the other party's identity, Gin wouldn't give them to him.
"Alright, let's keep trading in the future. Here's my business card. If you encounter some difficult things to do, you can find me, but you need to pay. If you find me, whether I do it or not, you have to pay. Not a single cent less!"
Saying that, Bai Ye threw the business card to Vodka, then took the Bullet and left.
Watching Bai Ye's departing back, and after he disappeared into an alley, Vodka mumbled discontentedly, "Brother, that guy is really too arrogant. Why didn't you just let Chianti and the others kill that bastard earlier!"
Vodka had never seen such an arrogant person.
And he even dared to show off right in front of them! What did he mean by "if you find me, whether I do it or not, you have to pay"!
Besides,
The Black Organization has General Gin, what do they need you to do?
"Heh heh, give me that guy's business card."
Gin curled his lip, clearly interested.
It seemed the other party wanted to cooperate with him.
And it seemed he also had some understanding of his organization. Although he wasn't sure of the ultimate goal yet, Gin didn't mind cooperating with the other party.
After all, the Black Organization looked like it had many people, but Gin also knew that there were many undercover agents. If Bai Ye could complete some tasks for him, then some of his affairs wouldn't be exposed to other organizations.
"Brother, you're not really going to find him, are you? We can do it ourselves, and that guy might also be from another organization. Our organization has been heavily watched recently!"
Vodka also said worriedly.
"Don't worry, we'll know if he is or not once we try. Besides, some things can't be done by people within the organization, as we are indeed being watched!"
Although Gin didn't care about this at all, in his opinion, whoever watched them should just be killed.
But there would always be some omissions in tasks, and if there was someone who wasn't part of the organization, who could also be assigned tasks, and the cost was just money, then he felt it was quite good.
Anyway, the other party also wanted to buy firearms from him, so back and forth, what they paid wasn't particularly much.
With that thought, he picked up the business card and dialed the phone number on it: "Hello, it's me."
After connecting, Gin directly stated his identity.
"What is it?"
"I have something to ask of you. Help me retrieve something, for one million US dollars."
"What is it?"
"A gem called the queens tears!"
"No!"
"?"
No?
You just said to find you if there was anything.
But not long after you finished speaking, you said no?
Are you capable or not?
"Stealing treasures damages my reputation. I need more money!"
Just kidding!
Bai Ye on the other end of the phone was a bit speechless. He had thought Gin was asking him to do something like murder or robbery, but it turned out he wanted him to be a thief. He still had to make a living; what would it be like to have the reputation of a thief later?
For such self-damaging behavior, Bai Ye had to make Gin give him more money.
Unlike Pirate Bai Ye who directly gave him gold, earning money himself felt more satisfying.
On the other side, Gin was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Two million."
"Okay!"
Hanging up the phone, Gin curled his lip, suddenly feeling it was quite interesting.
"Brother, why steal a gem that's completely useless?"
Did they need this gem? Vodka asked, somewhat puzzled.
"The Pandora gem might now have a different name, so we can't let any gem go. At the same time, it's a good way to test his ability. This gem has been targeted by Kaito Kid, Cats Eye, and Lupin III. If his ability works, he will definitely be able to get it, which will make future cooperation easier. If he can't even deal with these three thieves, then he's just mediocre, and there's no need to continue contact later!"
Gin explained indifferently. In his opinion, this was just a pretense.
The Pandora gem was currently being sought not only by them but by many others.
It was a legendary stone of destiny that could grant eternal life.
As the confidant of that gentleman, Gin naturally knew what that gentleman had always been pursuing. Wasn't researching APTX4869 for eternal life?
"Brother is really amazing, worthy of being you, Brother!"
Vodka's eyes lit up after hearing Gin's explanation, blaming himself for not thinking of this earlier.
If Bai Ye couldn't get it, the two million US dollars naturally wouldn't be given to him, and there would be no need to cooperate with an incapable person later.
But if he could, then those two million would be considered making a friend.
"Let's go, Chianti, Korn."
Gin said into his earpiece, then got into the classic car and left the area.
Before coming here, he had also arranged for the two of them to shoot Bai Ye directly if anything went wrong.
Inside the bar.
"You're back?"
"Mm."
Gin nodded, then sat next to Vermouth and ordered a drink from the bartender.
"How was that guy?"
"He's alright. He's someone we can cooperate with, but we need to test his abilities first."
"He's indeed impressive. He actually found us through that method."
It was truly unheard of. They considered themselves to be well-hidden, but this method indeed piqued Gin's interest.
"So, aren't you going to recruit that guy into the organization? He seems to be a computer expert!"
"We'll see!"
Gin shook his head and didn't say anything further.
"Tch, if there's nothing else, I'm leaving!"
Saying that, Vermouth also felt bored, stood up, and prepared to leave.
She hadn't come back this time to find Gin.
Nichijou Bai Ye: [How does it feel?]
After obtaining the Bullet, he handed it over to Pirate Bai Ye from the Pirate World.
Pirate Bai Ye: [It's good. It's much more powerful than the guns in this world. It can also be imbued with Haki. Looking at it this way, getting some other pistols, rifles, etc., is all possible, but it feels like they could be easily replicated!]
Even without Vegapunk, once the World Government figured it out, they seemed capable of replicating it.
Naruto Bai Ye: [Then what do you plan to do?]
Pirate Bai Ye: [Hide them if possible. Good weapons like this won't be given to ordinary pirates!]
They were too easy for others to take, so he had already decided to give them only to cadre-type individuals, at least for now, to prevent the World Government from having a chance to replicate them.
Nichijou Bai Ye: [Actually, there are also missiles and such later, but there's no opportunity yet. Those guys are on guard. Speaking of which, couldn't I just go and rob them?]
As he spoke, he suddenly realized a problem.
He didn't need to trade at all.
His physique just needed to wait until the Eight Gates was practiced.
On the first day, he observed if there were other super-powered individuals in this world, fighting to maintain world peace!
On the second day, after confirming that no one could kill him, he directly transformed into Homelander.
On the third day, I don't eat beef!
Biochemical Bai Ye: [You absolutely can, but your side probably won't have a good daily life then. Here, once the world is in chaos, I'll see if I can get some for you guys!]
The daily world was still relatively peaceful. Here, once the Resident Evil outbreak fully erupted, and various other things appeared later, it would probably be completely chaotic. At that time, getting a little boy wouldn't even be a problem.
Nichijou Bai Ye: [That's true. It's not impossible for me to earn some money and buy them.]
Pirate Bai Ye: [No problem, I'll go to Golden Township to get you gold.]
Was it not simple to get money?
There was so much gold in Golden Township; he could easily take it all from Sky Island.
Nichijou Bai Ye: [You don't understand. This is called having a sense of accomplishment from earning money myself. Plus, there's not much to do. It's too peaceful here!]
Nichijou Bai Ye: [However, I've also discovered some unusual things here. I'll see what happens later!]
At first, he felt like he was going to die because this was Mihana.
But now, he felt like he was going to have a blast because this was Mihana.
So he decided to find something to do for himself.
After leaving the convenience store, he obviously couldn't continue working in his current situation.
Therefore, he decided to set up a Yorozuya (odd jobs shop) here to help solve various problems. Earning money was one aspect, and the other was to find some fun for himself.
As for studying, he had already prepared for a long leave of absence.
Because he discovered that in this world, besides Conan's science, there seemed to be other things he needed to investigate.
"Miko, you look so pale lately."
"Do I, Kawahana?"
Miko raised her head, looking at Kawahana with a strained expression.
Lately, she felt as if her life had undergone earth-shattering changes.
But these changes were not what she wanted, and because of these things, her life had become a mess.
Miko looked around in confusion, everything around her felt unreal.
Oh God, please save me if possible.
Miko whispered softly in her heart.
"Of course you do, Miko. Look, you have dark circles under your eyes!"
Dark circles?
In the mirror Kawahana held, her own somewhat haggard face appeared. She did seem very tired lately.
PS: Thank you for all the gifts. Also, the author wants to say that abilities are shared! They are shared! The lottery abilities are also. The reason they are not specifically marked later is to avoid padding the word count. Also, I'd like to ask everyone if you'd like me to set up a rule for extra chapters?
