[Conan] Black And Silver: The Bond Of Rivals Chapter 25

Under calm wind, the hidden reef gradually appears

The warmth in the house has not dissipated. After a peaceful night, the dim light of the morning diffuses into the room through the thin curtains, diluting some of the silence left by the night.The sound of the changing of the guard of FBI agents could be heard faintly downstairs. The security was still tight, but it was less tense than before, and there was more of a tacit peace.

Akai Shuichi woke up first, with a faint residual warmth still remaining on the side of his body.Gin had already stood up and was standing by the window, her black clothes fluttering gently in the breeze. Her back was tall and lonely, but the moment she turned to look at him, all the coldness was gone, leaving only softness.

“Are you awake?” Gin walked slowly back to the sofa and handed him a glass of warm water of just the right temperature. His movements were natural and smooth, as if this daily routine had been going on for a long time. “The agent downstairs brought breakfast. Just take care of it. Today will not be peaceful.”

Akai Shuichi took the water cup and touched the warm wall with his fingertips, feeling a faint sense of peace in his heart.He nodded slightly and looked at the stacked buildings outside the window. His voice was calm but with a sober sharpness: “Rum suffered a dark loss last night. There is no way there will be no movement. There should be new temptations today.”

“More than just testing.” Gin leaned over and picked up the communicator on the table, tapping the edge with his fingertips, and said in a more serious tone, “I received news last night that several Rum’s henchmen within the organization have quietly sneaked into the city. The target is not me, but the people around you.”

Akai Shuichi frowned slightly: “Hideyoshi? Masumi? Or Mari?”

“It’s all possible.” Gin’s eyes turned cold, and a trace of imperceptible anger flashed in his green eyes. “Rum knows very well that if he can’t touch us from the front, he will attack at the weakest link. Your father is guarding in the dark. He can protect us for a while, but he can’t protect us all the time.”

He paused, and then his tone was extremely gentle, for fear of making Akai Shuichi anxious: “But don’t worry, I have people follow all the routes of people related to the Akai family. As long as Rum’s people dare to show up, I will make it impossible for them to go back.”

Akai Shuichi raised his eyes and looked at him, with complex and real emotions in his eyes.

This person is always like this, blocking all dangers in front of him and leaving all tenderness to him. Even if he is already in a situation where he is besieged on all sides, he will never let him suffer even the slightest injustice.

“You don’t have to take all the pressure on yourself.” Akai Shuichi said softly, with a bit of seriousness in his tone, “I said, we will face it together.”

Gin was startled for a moment, then laughed softly, reached out and gently rubbed the top of his hair, his movements were unabashedly doting: “Okay, let’s face it together. It’s just that I’m used to protecting you, and I can’t change it.”

The straightforward words fell into the air, making the dim light of the morning feel a little warmer.The tips of Akai Shuichi’s ears felt slightly hot. He looked away, but did not push his hand away, silently accepting this gentleness that belonged to him.

The two had breakfast quietly. There was no unnecessary conversation in the room, but there was a tacit understanding everywhere.There is no need for extra commitments or repeated confirmations. You can already know each other’s intentions just by looking at each other.

At this moment, Shuichi Akai’s personal cell phone placed on the corner of the table vibrated again.

This time it was not an encrypted message from Akai Mutake, nor a report from Judy, but a completely unfamiliar public number without any notes.

His heart tightened slightly, and he pressed the answer button without making a sound.

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then a hoarse voice that had been voice-changed came out, with a cold and provocative tone:

“Akai Shuichi, long time no see. See you well.”

Akai Shuichi’s fingertips tightened instantly, and the breath around him suddenly became cold.

He will never forget this voice for the rest of his life——

Rum.

Gin also instantly restrained all gentleness and walked quickly to his side. His eyes were as cold as ice, and he only used his mouth to gently signal: Don’t panic, I’m here.

Rum on the phone chuckled, his tone full of sinisterness: “I know Gin is by your side, and I also know that old guy Akai Mutake is still alive. Do you think everything will be fine if you hide in a safe house?”

“I’ll give you a piece of advice.”

“Gin, either return to the organization or watch the Akai family disappear one by one.”

“Akai Shuichi, either give up on him, or watch the people you care about fall into the abyss one by one.”

After the words fell, Rum hung up the phone without waiting for a response.

A busy signal came, and the atmosphere in the room instantly dropped to freezing point.

The peace and warmth just now were completely shattered, replaced by crisis and oppression.

Rum has torn away the last layer of disguise and threatened a direct showdown.

Under the calm surface, the reef has already surfaced, and a bigger storm is quietly approaching.

Akai Shuichi held the phone, his knuckles turned white, and his eyes were filled with a cold edge.

Gin reached out and held his hand firmly. The warmth in her palm was firm and powerful, and her tone was calm and reassuring:

“Don’t be afraid.”

“The more threatening he is, the more afraid he is of us.”

“This time, we will not hide or escape.”

“Since he wants to start a war, we will stay with him until the end.”

The morning light shines through the window on the hands held by the two of them. It is obviously a warm light, but it reflects two firm figures who are about to face the wind and rain side by side.

Undercurrents are surging and crises are everywhere, but this time, they will never be separated again, and they will never face it alone again.
