[Conan] Black And Silver: The Bond Of Rivals Chapter 24

Silent guard·Shield in the dark

The silence in the house has not been broken, and the warm yellow light softly fills every inch of the space, isolating the dark night outside the window and the potential undercurrent.Akai Shuichi leaned on the back of the sofa and closed his eyes slightly. The nerves that had been tense for days finally relaxed a little at this moment.

From the reunion on a rainy night in Kitato Port, to the near-confrontation in the mountains, to the organization causing riots across the city, and everyone in the Akai family being involved one after another, there was almost no moment when he was truly stable.The constraints of position, the conflict of identity, the safety of his family, and the heavy thoughts of the person in front of him were like several invisible ropes, tightly binding him in the middle.

But at this moment, all the chaos seemed to have temporarily receded.

Gin didn’t speak, just sat quietly beside him, occasionally touching his wrist with her fingertips, as if to confirm his presence or to comfort him silently.He has always been a person who kills decisively and leaves no room for mercy. He has a sense of oppression around him, but in front of Akai Shuichi, all the sharpness is quietly put away, leaving only a calm and reliable warmth.

“Rum has suffered a loss this time and will not let it go easily.” Gin spoke first, keeping his voice low to avoid destroying the peace in the room. “But your father is controlling the situation in the dark. He can’t find a chance to make a move for the time being. Rum is suspicious and life-saving. He is not completely sure that he will not show up in person.”

Akai Shuichi slowly opened his eyes. The fatigue in his eyes had not completely faded away, but he was a little more stable: “He will probably use the most roundabout way, such as provoking internal troubles within the FBI, or deliberately creating clues to pour dirty water on us.”

“It’s useless.” Gin’s tone was calm, but with absolute confidence. “The FBI has acquiesced to the status quo. James and Judy both know that once tough action is taken against me, you will definitely be on my side, and the situation will only be more difficult to deal with. They don’t dare to gamble, and they can’t afford it.”

Akai Shuichi turned his head slightly and looked at the man beside him.

The other party has neat long hair and a cold profile. He is obviously being hunted by the whole world, but he still looks calm as if he is in control of everything.But such a person keeps all tenderness and exceptions to himself.

“You have never considered this before.” Akai Shuichi said softly, with a hint of emotion in his tone, “You always do whatever you want, you don’t care about other people’s opinions, and you don’t stop for anyone.”

Gin tilted his head, his green eyes looked particularly warm under the light, completely different from his usual cold appearance.

“It was before.” He said slowly, his tone almost solemn, “From the moment I met you, many things were different.”

“I’m used to walking alone, used to the darkness, and used to not having worries. But after you appeared, I realized that having someone you want to protect and a place you want to stay is not a weakness.”

Akai Shuichi’s heart trembled slightly, his throat tightened slightly, and he didn’t know how to respond.

Straightforward and hot feelings, without any fancy embellishments, are more powerful than any words.

Just when the atmosphere became calm and gentle, the phone on the table vibrated slightly again.

It’s still the encrypted number, it’s still the message from Akai Muwu, the content is short and powerful:

[The eyeliner has been cleared, safe.】

Just five words, no unnecessary emotions, no greetings, no requests to meet, and no repetition of previous approvals, but like a reassurance, they completely stabilized the atmosphere in the room.

Akai Muwu always hides in the dark, does not show up, does not disturb, does not create unnecessary interactions, and only uses the most straightforward method to eliminate danger and protect his family.

Akai Shuichi looked at the screen of his mobile phone, and the corners of his mouth relaxed slightly, almost imperceptibly.

The father’s attitude has long been clear and does not need to be reiterated; the family’s tacit approval is also clear and does not need to be repeatedly confirmed.

Some thoughts do not need to be expressed verbally; some protections do not need to appear in front of you.

Gin reached out and gently held his hand, her palm dry and warm.

“Look,” he whispered, “everything is going in the right direction. Your father is holding on in the dark, and I am guarding you. No one can hurt you, and no one can separate us.”

“So what if the positions are different, what if the identities are opposite?”

“As long as we stand together, there is no obstacle that cannot be overcome.”

Akai Shuichi did not withdraw his hand, but gently tightened his fingertips and held the other person’s hand back.

The long-term struggles, hesitations, and worries were completely gone at this moment.

The night outside the window is deep, the city is still sleeping, and in the darkness there is the silent sight of my father, and there are people who are steadfast by my side.

There is no noise, no confrontation, no unnecessary meetings and repetitions, only silent presence and slowly spreading warmth.

He spoke softly, his voice soft but firm:

“Yeah. Let’s face it together.”

The light fell gently, quietly wrapping the two figures holding hands.

Undercurrents are still surging in the dark, but this small space has become the most stable place to return.
