[Conan] Black And Silver: The Bond Of Rivals Chapter 23
byThe undercurrent never stops·The sight from afar
The footsteps in the corridor gradually faded away, and Judy came and left, leaving only the entire security stronghold still under tight security.The house became quiet again, and even the sound of the wind outside the window seemed particularly gentle.
Gin released his hand from Akai Shuichi’s waist, picked up the slightly cold cup of coffee on the table, rubbed the side of the cup with his fingertips, but kept his eyes on him.
“The FBI doesn’t care anymore?” His tone was indifferent and his emotions could not be heard. “It seems that in their eyes, you are much more important than an organized killer.”
Akai Shuichi retracted his gaze from the window and responded calmly: “It’s not that they don’t care, they know that they can’t control it, and they also know that forcing it will only make things worse.”
“That’s true.” Gin chuckled, “After all, you are the only one who can make me stay in one place obediently.”
The straightforward and candid words, without any frivolity, made the air slightly hot.Akai Shuichi looked away, the tips of his ears were unnoticeably warm, and he didn’t answer, but he didn’t feel any disgust at all.
He walked to the sofa and sat down, raising his hand to rub his brow.From the confrontation at Kitato Port, to house arrest in the mountains, to organized raids, and the Akai family appearing one after another, a series of events left no room for breathing.
Gin saw this and silently pushed another glass of warm water in front of him. The action was as natural as if he had done it thousands of times.
“Rum won’t take action for the time being, but that doesn’t mean he will give up.” Gin stopped being a little distracted and said in a calm tone, “He is not moving now because he is waiting for me to show my flaws and for you to become soft-hearted.”
“I know.” Akai Shuichi picked up the water glass and touched the warm wall with his fingertips, feeling a little calmer. “Rum is suspicious and cautious. This time he organized the riot and achieved nothing. He will only hide deeper.”
“More than that.” Gin narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed in his green eyes, “He has probably found out that Akai Muwu is still alive. Next, he will target your family.”
Akai Shuichi tightened his hands slightly.
This was what worried him the most.
Seeing this, Gin’s voice softened: “As long as I’m here, he can’t touch anyone. Your father is in the dark, your mother, Hideyoshi, and Masumi are in the open. I will let people clear all the eyes that are staring at them.”
“You don’t have to carry it alone.”
Akai Shuichi raised his eyes and met a pair of serious and determined eyes.
The man in front of him, even though he was being monitored by the FBI and being hunted by the organization, still did not hesitate to include his family under his protection.
He opened his mouth, but in the end he just said a low voice:
“…Don’t force yourself.”
Gin leaned forward slightly, closing the distance between the two of them, and his breath gently fell on the tip of his nose:
“For you, it’s not forced.”
The atmosphere became quiet and ambiguous again, and the light fell softly on the two of them, softening all the sharpness and opposition.
At this moment, Akai Shuichi’s phone vibrated slightly again.
It’s not a phone call, it’s not a meeting and setting, but an encrypted text warning, which comes from Akai Muwu’s special code clue.
The content is very short, only one sentence:
[Rum knows that I am alive and will target the Akai family in the near future. Don’t move, I will make arrangements.】
There are no extra greetings, no requests to meet, only secret warnings from fathers and seniors.
Akai Shuichi’s fingertips paused slightly, and his heart stabilized.
My father is still guarding in the dark. He will not show up or meet again. He will only provide support in the most covert way.
Gin also scanned the content, his eyes slightly cold: “Rum has indeed started to check your house.”
Akai Shuichi put away his phone and said in a calm tone: “My father will not let them succeed.”
“He is hiding and we are hiding.” Gin stood up and said in a calm tone, “I will strengthen all the defense lines. You don’t need to go out to take risks, and you don’t need to meet him again – since he has recognized us, he will only escort us secretly and will not show up to cause danger again.”
Akai Shuichi looked up at him, a trace of relief flashing in his eyes.
Yes, Wuwu has already seen, acknowledged, and acquiesced,
There is no need to meet again at this moment, we just need to join forces secretly and protect each other.
“Okay.” He responded softly.
The night was still dark, and two figures stood side by side in front of the window, looking into the darkness deep in the city.
Akai Muwu, who was far away in the darkness, looked through the night and landed quietly in the direction of the safe stronghold.
No appearance, no reunion, just a silent and firm gaze,
Block the coming storm for them.
The undercurrent has not stopped, and the guard is silent.
One family, three paths, one heart.
