[Conan] Black And Silver: The Bond Of Rivals Chapter 44

Eye contact, stance as evidence

The moment the door was opened, Mary’s sharp hawk-like eyes shot straight into the room and landed precisely on Gin.Sera Masumi followed closely behind, with a wary and uneasy look on his face, his eyes darting back and forth between the two of them.

The air suddenly solidified and became so tight that it seemed like it would break at the touch of a touch.The lingering shadow was finally completely pulled into the sunlight.

Akai Hide suddenly took a half-step forward, half-protecting Gin behind him, and his movements were as natural as if he had practiced them thousands of times.He knew his mother’s temper, and he knew even more that Gin’s past was enough to make everyone in the Akai family draw swords against each other in an instant, but he couldn’t let the conflict break out.

“Mother, come in and talk first.” His voice was steady, with an unmistakable insistence, “This is not the place for arguments.”

Mary didn’t move, her high heels made a soft sound on the floor, but her eyes never left Gin.She had already seen his skill and propriety at the shogi club, but that was a temporary alliance. Now, if they want to become long-term partners, their stance must be clearly stated.

“Akai Shuichi, do you know what you are doing?” Mary’s voice was as cold as the cold wind in winter. “He is Gin, the sharp blade of the black organization. He has killed countless agents and almost destroyed the entire FBI infiltration plan. Keeping him by your side is equivalent to walking with the devil.”

Sera Masumi tightened her grip on the fighting stick at her waist and looked at the man on the sofa with complicated eyes.She had heard too many horrific legends about Gin. The killer who shot Akai Shuichi, chased Shirley, and had his hands stained with blood was sitting there quietly at this moment, with a thick bandage on his left shoulder and a pale face caused by injuries. She could not think of taking action immediately.

“Brother Xiu, he is really too dangerous.” Zhenchun persuaded in a low voice, “We can’t trust people from an organization, even if he seems to be on our side now.”

Gin slowly raised his eyes, and his dark green pupils met Mary’s gaze. There was no dodge, no provocation, and no usual cold arrogance or cruelty.He knew that any unnecessary excuses at this moment seemed pale. His past had long been nailed to the pillar of shame, and there was no way to defend it.

“I didn’t ask for your forgiveness.” He spoke, his voice slightly hoarse due to the wound, but still clear and strong, “I will not deny what I have done, nor will I run away from it.”

“Then you should know that you are not qualified to stand next to him.” Mary pressed forward step by step, and the aura around her was so oppressive that people could hardly breathe. “Either leave, or I will deal with you now.”

Akai Shuichi frowned slightly and immediately held Gin’s wrist. The warmth in his palm was transferred steadily. When he turned to look at Mary, his eyes were firm: “Mother, last night Rum set a trap to surround Hideyoshi. It was he who fought side by side with me. It was he who blocked the fatal attack for me, which allowed us to successfully rescue Hideyoshi and capture Rum alive.”

He paused and his voice slowed down, but with an unshakable seriousness: “I believe in him, not because of impulse, but because he has protected me with his life.”

Gin’s heart trembled suddenly, and the fingers hanging by his side tightened slightly.He was never a person who was moved by words, but Akai Shuichi’s calm words of defense caused ripples in his heart that had been silent for half his life.

He once thought that he would only walk alone in the darkness in his life, accompanied by killing, and that he would not care about her even until his death, and no one would be willing to confront his mother for him.

Mary’s expression changed slightly, obviously she didn’t expect that gin played such a key role in the fierce battle last night.She was silent for a moment, her eyes falling on the bandage on Gin’s shoulder, and then looking at Akai Hide with a gentleness and firmness that she had never seen before, and the tight corners of her mouth loosened slightly.

“I can not pursue your past for the time being.” Mary looked at Gin, her tone still stern, “But I want you to make your position clear-from now on, you will completely break away from the black organization, hand over all the organizational intelligence you have, and cooperate with us to eliminate the remaining forces. You must not hide anything.”

“Besides that.” Her eyes became sharper. “If you dare to hurt Xiu even a little bit and betray this alliance, I will let you know the price that is more terrible than the organization.”

Gin nodded slightly, a submissive gesture he rarely made to others.

“I will hand over all the organization’s strongholds, undercover lists, and secret communication channels.” He said every word with great solemnity. “After Rum is arrested, there will be chaos within the organization. I can help you pinpoint the remaining forces until this place is completely destroyed.”

He turned his head and looked at Akai Shuichi next to him. There was a faint warmth in his dark green eyes that no one else had seen before: “I will not put him in danger again, let alone betray him.”

The sunlight just passed through the gap in the curtains and fell on the hands of the two of them, coating each other’s outlines with a gentle golden edge.The stalemate finally dissipated at this moment. Sera Masumi loosened her clenched fists and the vigilance on her face faded a bit.

Mary looked at the scene in front of her and let out a long sigh, finally softening her attitude.She knew that her son had always been stubborn and would never change his determination, and the determination in Ginjiu’s eyes did not seem to be fake.

“In this case, the tripartite alliance is officially established.” Mary said solemnly, “The FBI, Japanese police, Akai family, and you, will do their best to eliminate the remnants of the organization, and no more omissions are allowed.”

Akai Shuichi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile.He knew that the most difficult hurdle had been passed. From this moment on, they were no longer fighting alone, no longer enemies facing each other, but companions heading to the end hand in hand.

Gin felt the temperature in his palms and looked at the gentle brows and eyes of the person in front of him. The corner in his heart that had been frozen by darkness for decades was finally completely melted.

He gave up the entire dark world, but won the only light in this life.

The morning light outside the window became brighter and brighter, dispelling all the haze. The solemnity in the safe house completely dissipated, replaced by the firmness and stability after the alliance was concluded.

Rum has been captured, the organization is in turmoil, and their endgame has just begun.
