Conan: Becoming the Boss Starting with Winning Over Ran

Page 103

Hoshimiya Yu isn't a military enthusiast; he can distinguish between pistols, rifles, submachine guns, and sniper rifles, but he has no idea about the specific models.

Just like alcoholic beverages.

He can distinguish between red wine, white wine, beer, cocktails, and grape wine, but he can't tell you the brand or the name...

Don't ask, you just don't know.

While playing with it, Hoshimiya Yu couldn't help but wonder what kind of reward would come if he opened the safety and shot Gin?

Well, I don't know what the reward will be, but he's probably doomed.

Even if they manage to break through, they'll either be placed under witness protection for life and monitored, or one day be assassinated by the organization or blown up.

Before he dies, the video of the murder will likely be leaked, causing him social death.

Perhaps sensing Hoshimiya Hajime's dangerous thoughts, Gin suddenly looked over.

Suppressing his suicidal thoughts, Hoshiguma Yu put away his pistol and asked curiously, "Gin-sama, Hitomi was asked to suspend her studies to carry out a mission, but why wasn't I asked to?"

“You are different.”

Gin took a sip of the dark red liquid in his glass and said coldly, "There's no point in her going to that school. Gil happened to be here recently and needed help, so I had her go with him."

Kir is actually Rena Mizunashi, and her true identity is that CIA undercover agent. I didn't expect her to come to Japan so early.

The other party will be working as a reporter at Nichiri TV...

Was it TV Asahi again?

Hoshigumi Yu was too lazy to think about it. It was a trivial matter, and it was tiring to constantly go through her memory palace.

Kujou Hitomi has been practicing gymnastics, but due to the obstruction of the blond-haired Kishida, she hasn't achieved much.

But with her good looks and figure, it's understandable that she'd take a break from gymnastics to work at a TV station.

Gin said he sent Kujou Hitomi to assist Kir, but Hoshimiya Yu felt that Gin had specifically sent Kujou Hitomi to monitor Mizunashi Rena.

Rena Mizunashi had long been suspected by Gin, and if she hadn't put on a show with Conan, Shuichi Akai, and others, she would have been killed by Gin.

"Then what's the point of my current job?"

Hoshimiya Yu knew that the organization had already started providing Kujou Hitomi with funds for operations, which was basically her salary.

It would be boring to not have anything to do and not go to work, but he not only has things to do, but also many beautiful women to do with.

So, if he could, he wouldn't want to work and get paid.

"Continue to maintain your relationship with the second young lady of the Suzuki family while you are at school. If you can successfully marry into the family, that would be best. If not, it will still be a channel if you ever need to deal with the Suzuki Group in the future."

Gin didn't want to tell Hoshimiya Yu about this so early, but he could tell her that Hoshimiya Yu didn't really want to go to work, so he had to tell her in advance.

Xing Gongyu felt a chill run down her spine, but her expression remained unchanged.

It was definitely the right thing to keep our relationship with the Suzuki family a secret!

He feigned a disappointed expression, "Then do I have monthly operating funds?"

Gin remained silent, too lazy to bother with her.

Seeing this, Vodka retorted, "Aren't you already a rich woman, the second daughter of the Suzuki family? What's a little money to you?"

Is that organization really short of money?

Xing Gongyu thought to himself, but said aloud, "The organization wouldn't make people work for free, would it?"

While others might not be able to find out about his alleged affair with Sonoko Suzuki, the brewery could.

A poor orphan boy, who has only been working for a short time, now lives in a luxury apartment and has a private doctor.

I recently signed up for a driver's license test and plan to buy a car after I pass...

Without using Sonoko Suzuki as an excuse, none of these points can be clearly explained.

The private doctor refers to Mami Asai. Not only is she a private doctor, but she is also, on the surface, Hoshimiya Hayao's personal maid.

Yes, just like the house, it's publicly stated that it was provided by Sonoko Suzuki.

This is the power of capital. With the Suzuki family behind him, Hoshimiya Hayao has far fewer troubles.

This investigation was conducted by people sent by the brewery after Hoshimiya Yu officially joined.

It's not that I'm worried about Hoshimiya Yu; he was personally recruited by Gin, so there's definitely no problem.

They simply wanted to understand Xing Gongyu's information more clearly and see if they could bind him to the organization more deeply in other ways.

Just like dealing with those high-ranking government officials, we used both threats and inducements.

While offering incentives, new threats and vulnerabilities may also arise.

Before reading the investigation report, Gin considered giving Hoshimiya Yu a sum of money to improve his favorability and increase his loyalty.

After reading the investigation report, Gin was only glad that he wasn't such an impatient person.

The money the organization gives is less than what the other party's sugar daddy/sugar baby gives, so it doesn't work to win them over and it lowers the organization's image.

It would be better not to give it at all!

Compared to the Suzuki family, the organization's financial resources were so-so, not to mention the meager funds he could access.

Sonoko Suzuki can't use much of the Suzuki family's resources right now, but she can still give Hoshimiya Yu more than Gin can.

He was being groomed as the next successor, after all.

As for why Gin didn't issue the order that the man must marry into the family, it's because he knew that it wasn't so easy to get into such a large conglomerate.

Now that Sonoko Suzuki is keeping Hoshimiya Hato as her lover, no one cares. But once she actually marries into the family, she'll probably be thoroughly investigated.

No matter how well the brewery is hidden, the Suzuki family can always find some clues.

If there is even the slightest clue, it will be virtually impossible for Hoshimiya Yu to successfully marry into the Suzuki family.

Even if he were to marry into the family, he wouldn't be of any help to the organization.

Since that's the case, why not let nature take its course and cultivate Xing Gongyu as his successor, letting him shine for the organization first?

Vodka was momentarily speechless at Hoshiguma's reasoned words, then said somewhat unhappily, "We don't have the funds for the operation, but we will prepare the necessary items. There will be a bonus upon completion of the mission."

"What if the mission fails?"

"An organization does not support useless people."

This time it was Gin who spoke. After speaking coldly, he waved his hand, signaling Vodka to take Hoshimiya Yu away.

Seeing this, Hoshiguma Yu wisely shut his mouth, since he had already asked almost everything he wanted to ask.

He finished his slightly sweet cocktail in one gulp, then followed Vodka to collect five magazines of bullets, two silencers, and five small, pen-shaped guns.

He then went to the open space where he had first killed someone and began shooting at a circular target more than 30 meters away.

The first few shots, without knowing the trajectory and recoil, and without using the Eye of Truth ability, Hoshiguma Yu relied entirely on his own skill, and as a result, almost all of them missed the target...

Hoshimiya Yu was not surprised. When he was in school, he participated in various sports, including archery and shooting.

Without exception, they were all ordinary, not particularly bad, but definitely not talented.

Seeing that Vodka's expression was becoming strange, Hoshiguma Yu stopped messing around, otherwise she would be in trouble if she were really treated as a piece of trash.

He activated his True Sight, and the distant target instantly seemed to be right in front of him.

Actually, no, it's just that the pupil's dilation and contraction achieve the same effect as adjusting the focal length.

Moreover, Hoshigumi Yu also had a predicted line from the muzzle of the gun to the bullseye appear in her mind.

This prediction line changes constantly according to his consciousness.

We already know the rifling and recoil of this gun, and there's no wind in the room.

So, Hoshimiya Yu gently pulled the trigger.

Vodka's eyes, hidden behind sunglasses, changed constantly as Hoshimiya Yu pulled the trigger.

From skepticism to surprise, and then to disbelief.

Once, twice, three times...

By the time a magazine was emptied, the distant target had been completely penetrated.

Seeing that Hoshimiya Yu was about to use another magazine, Vodka quickly stopped him, saying, "Alright, alright, you're already completely familiar with it, don't waste bullets."

It wasn't that he was afraid Xing Gongyu would waste his time, but rather that he didn't want to continue being discouraged.

As a code-named cadre, he was no match for a newcomer who had only recently joined the organization, and the newcomer completely overwhelmed him. This was a huge blow to him.

In short, the Dao Heart is Broken.

Soon, Vodka will fully embrace the role of a secretary, and aside from driving, pouring drinks, and offering cigarettes to Gin, he will basically no longer use force.

At this moment, Hoshimiya Yu was unaware that the way Vodka would later turn out was inextricably linked to his performance this time.

The author says:

Author's note: Chapter 138, Matsumoto Sayuri has been added, and the progress is catching up!

We will try to keep the main text and this benefit updated in sync.

As for the benefits of simply working hard... I'll let you know when I have time to write about them!

141 Take action

Stopped by vodka, Hoshimiya Yu simply stopped.

For people who aren't interested, guns are only novel at first, but then they become nothing special.

It's completely different from the visceral, exhilarating feeling of close-quarters combat.

After you get used to it, it just becomes boring.

Currently, Hoshimiya Yu is only somewhat interested in sniper rifles, which she hasn't yet encountered. She also had some basic experience with rifles and submachine guns during training with Kojima, and they are similar to pistols.

After leaving the underground training ground, Hoshimiya Yu and Vodka parted ways at the exit.

Vodka went straight back to the bar lounge to find Gin and continue being his personal henchman.

"Big brother, you have excellent taste!"

As soon as he entered the bar, Vodka started flattering him.

The next moment, seeing Gin's cold gaze, he quickly and perceptively explained, "That Hoshimiya kid's shooting talent is really amazing..."

Gin already knew from the training report, but now, after hearing Vodka's embellished description, he still managed a rare smile.

No wonder Gin took a liking to him... cough cough, the man he took a liking to is worth cultivating!

Unfortunately, the investigation revealed that the other party lacked nothing except money and had no hobbies.

Now that he's being kept by a sugar daddy, he has no shortage of money, and he doesn't have a good way to get closer to her.

While Gin was pondering, Hoshimiya Yu had already arrived at the research hall.

I emptied one magazine, and now I still have five full magazines of bullets from the one I just received, which is more than enough, and I don't need to reload.

After leaving the training ground, he walked directly through the experimental hall, intending to leave the base immediately.

I didn't run into Shiho Miyano when I arrived, but I did when I left.

The other person was still wearing a white lab coat over a high-necked sleeveless knit sweater, and her looks and figure were still on point, making Xing Gongyu's eyes light up.

Shiho Miyano also saw Hoshimiya Hayao, her delicate brows furrowed slightly, and she turned away in another direction with her coffee in hand.

Hoshimiya Yu is Gin's subordinate and most likely his successor, so don't expect her to give you a friendly look.

Adding to the bad impression from their first meeting, she couldn't even be bothered to pretend. In any case, given her position in the organization, she was now Xing Gongyu's superior.

Xing Gongyu observed the girl's little antics and found them amusing, but also speechless.

The prejudice in people's hearts is indeed a huge mountain.

He was trying to save her sister when she suddenly gave him the cold shoulder.

Once I save Miyano Akemi, I'll make Miyano Shiho kneel down and lick my boots to vent my anger!

Oh, then she should be called Ai-chan.

Making a legal loli kneel and lick his boots...

I felt a little guilty, but more than that, I felt excited.
