Hoshimiya Yu gave a location, a secret hideout that the Suzuki family had recently prepared for him.
Apart from Hoshimiya Haze and the Suzuki mother and daughter, no one knew about the existence of this small villa with a basement.
Suzuki Tomoko is still working on the same secret hideout. One isn't enough; a cunning rabbit has three burrows. Hoshimiya Yu will need at least seven or eight.
One reason for bringing Miyano Akemi here was that the plan was to use this place as the future residence for the Miyano sisters after this matter was over.
This small villa is similar to the homes of Shinichi Kudo and Professor Agasa; it's located in a cluster of small villas and isn't particularly eye-catching.
However, the facilities inside are all top-of-the-line, and the basement was already equipped with state-of-the-art experimental equipment.
Of course, Hoshimiya Yu wouldn't support the Miyano sisters for nothing. Leaving aside Miyano Akemi, Miyano Shiho had to work for him anyway, continuing her research on APTX4869.
The plan was wonderful, but only if he could successfully persuade Akemi Miyano to cooperate.
Without giving Akemi Miyano a chance to ask further questions, Hoshimiya Yu hung up the phone immediately.
The remaining matter is very important; we must gain our own territory and then have face-to-face discussions.
As for Akemi Miyano not coming?
Hoshimiya Yu wasn't worried about this at all. When it came to her younger sister, Miyano Akemi would do it even if she knew there was danger involved.
Just like this robbery of 1 billion yen, how could she not know that Gin was lying to her?
But for that sliver of hope, she did it anyway.
After returning the organization's car to the base, Hoshiguma Yu disposed of the sportswear used in the crime, changed back into her own clothes, and took a taxi directly to the secret villa.
He acted quickly; he took down two of the men he was tasked with in the morning, just past noon.
When returning the car, I took the opportunity to report on the mission progress, and unsurprisingly, I received a satisfied look from Gin.
Gin is finding Hoshimiya Hatake more and more pleasing to the eye these days.
As a model worker, he appreciates this kind of decisive and efficient approach.
If a task takes several days to complete, how will we take over his work in the future?
143 Akemi Miyano
When we arrived at the secret villa, it was only 2 p.m.
I took a shower, made some food, and it was only four o'clock in the afternoon.
Seeing that it was still early until 7 p.m., Xing Gongyu simply took a nap.
After all, if the plan goes smoothly, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight, as I'll be using the extremely energy-consuming teleportation ability of the Fate Contract continuously. So I need to rest and recuperate now.
While Hoshimiya Yu was sound asleep, Miyano Akemi was frowning and struggling with her thoughts.
When she received Hoshimiya Hato's call, she was resigning under the identity of Hirota Masami.
Two days after the robbery, the police have not found any clues, let alone traced her.
This means the mission has been successfully completed, and once it's finished, the younger sister can leave the organization.
A hopeful smile appeared on Miyano Akemi's face; she had already begun to plan for a wonderful future.
My sister and I will renovate our new house together, and then use the money we've worked so hard to save to open a flower shop. That would be the best way to cut all ties with that dirty organization...
Just then, I suddenly received a call from Hoshiguma Yu.
After completing the resignation procedures, she immediately called Gin to confirm.
Gin's indifferent voice confirmed the player exchange deal, and he didn't say another word.
She tried calling back to inquire, but the call wouldn't go through.
Akemi Miyano had been worried that Gin wouldn't keep his promise, and she had a vague premonition. Now, that premonition had almost reached its peak.
After agonizing over the decision until evening, Miyano Akemi finally decided to go see Hoshimiya Hagumi.
Even if it means certain death at this meeting, she has to go.
Whether it's to complete the transaction or to address the issue of rescuing Shiho Miyano that Hoshimiya Yu mentioned, she has to meet with Hoshimiya Yu.
However, she still needs to make some preparations before going.
Akemi Miyano never truly trusted Gin, otherwise she wouldn't have pulled out a pistol during the final transaction.
Unfortunately, he was too weak and too naive, so in the end he didn't really play a significant role.
Since Hoshimiya Yu is now making deals on behalf of Gin, she simply treats him as if he were Gin.
Originally, I planned to settle everything in a few more days before making the deal with the organization, but now it will likely have to be moved up to tonight.
Akemi Miyano first deposited the 1 billion yen into a safe, then hid the key in a bunch of keys on her person, and finally returned to her apartment to retrieve her pistol.
She originally wanted to change her clothes, but it was almost time for the appointment, so she had to give up.
At 7 p.m., Akemi Miyano, still wearing her bank uniform, arrived at the villa on time.
Hoshino Yu opened the door and let her in by herself.
He rested for more than an hour before getting up, changing his clothes, and then preparing some food and drinks.
Miyano Akemi pushed open the front door with a wary expression, and the scene that came into view made her pause for a moment.
Contrary to her expectations of a dark and mysterious place, the warm yellow light illuminated a European-style living room where only a handsome young man in casual clothes was setting the table.
Soon, the table was set.
If there hadn't been no candlelight, Akemi Miyano would have wondered if she had gone to the wrong place and wandered into the home of a young couple preparing for a candlelight dinner.
"Did you invite me here?" Miyano Akemi looked at Hoshimiya Hayao and hesitated before stopping.
Hoshino didn't say her name on the phone, and neither did Gin. To make sure she hadn't gone to the wrong place, she could only tentatively ask him in a vague way.
Upon seeing Akemi Miyano, Hoshimiya Hatake's eyes lit up.
Akemi Miyano has black hair parted in a 3/7 ratio, and her blue eyes are particularly attractive. It's not obvious in the anime, but now that you see her in person, you can clearly see that she also has foreign ancestry. She is a beauty of mixed Eastern and Western heritage.
Especially her beautiful eyes with slightly downturned corners, they were practically a carbon copy of Elena Miyano's.
She was wearing a plain-colored bank uniform, but it still couldn't hide her stunning figure.
"Miss Akemi, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Hoshigumi Yu smiled and spoke, while secretly marveling at the power of genetics.
Having her real name revealed in a single sentence, Miyano Akemi no longer doubted and immediately asked seriously, "Why was you suddenly put in charge of the transaction? I've never seen you in the organization before?"
Xing Gongyu pulled out a chair and said softly, "I know you have a lot of questions you want to ask. I specially invited you here today to talk about these things, but I estimate it will take a long time. I suggest we eat and talk at the same time."
Akemi Miyano had barely eaten all day, and now seeing this table full of delicious food, her stomach instinctively growled.
But she wouldn't eat anything prepared by a stranger until she was completely at ease.
"I think it would be better to talk to them first."
Xing Gongyu knew that she was wary of him, so he didn't insist. He simply sat down and, while enjoying the food and wine, slowly said, "To make it easier for you to understand, let me start from the beginning..."
The Miyano sisters, especially Shiho Miyano, played a very important role in his later plans.
Therefore, he had no intention of hiding anything from the Miyano sisters.
On the other hand, if you want to win over the Miyano sisters, it's not appropriate to keep it a secret.
When Hoshimiya Yu started from the beginning, she wasn't joking; she was going to start directly from the time of Miyano Elena.
During this period, the investigation continued to expand, thoroughly exposing the Akai family, especially Akai Shuichi, who used the alias Moroboshi Dai.
There are many things that Akemi Miyano herself is unaware of.
It's clearly a family matter, yet no stranger seems to know as much about it as they do about it...
Throughout Hoshimiya Hayao's narration, Miyano Akemi's shock never ceased.
This dashed Hoshimiya Hayao's hopes of judging her relationship with Akai Shuichi by her expressions; it seems she'll have to ask directly later.
After clarifying the relationships between the characters, Hoshimiya Yu mentioned APTX4869.
Akemi Miyano also knew a little about this drug. Shiho Miyano discovered that the mice were regressing in age, but she didn't tell anyone except Akemi Miyano.
This made Hoshimiya Yu's subsequent explanation much easier.
"Since you know that this drug can achieve the miracle of reversing aging, you should understand that the organization will never let your sister leave."
Hoshimiya Yu tapped the plate, indicating that it was about time for Miyano Akemi to take her seat.
This time, Akemi Miyano did not refuse.
Xing Gongyu has already shown enough sincerity; if she doesn't sit down now, it will seem like she's the one who doesn't want to cooperate.
In addition, she was indeed very hungry and thirsty.
Hoshimiya Yu tasted all the food and drinks on the table, and now she could enjoy them without worry.
While taking small bites of the food that was no longer very hot, Akemi Miyano asked with resentment.
"But Gin clearly promised me..."
"Stop joking." Xing Gongyu scoffed, interrupting, "We're a criminal organization; lying is perfectly normal for us."
He emphasized "us" on the word "us".
No matter how much they deny it, the Miyano sisters and Hoshimiya Hayao are now members of the Black & Decker.
Akemi Miyano's beautiful blue eyes darkened, realizing that Hoshimiya Yu was right.
Not to mention Gin, she herself also deceived two accomplices in planning this robbery.
The 1 billion yen was supposed to be divided among the three people, but she ultimately chose to keep it all for herself.
And unsurprisingly, the two guys who were scammed will soon be found by the police and arrested.
The news of Hoshimiya Yu killing the two men hadn't spread yet, and there were no reports in the news, so Miyano Akemi didn't know that the two unlucky guys were dead.
As for herself...
What does what Hirota Masami did have to do with Miyano Akemi?
Seeing that Miyano Akemi remained silent, Hoshimiya Yu knew it was time to get down to business.
"Gin said that if you give up the idea of leaving the organization and hand over the 1 billion yen, he can forgive your actions this time. But if you insist on going your own way, you will be executed."
Hoshimiya Yu put down her chopsticks and stared into Miyano Akemi's eyes. "Now, tell me your choice."
"Oh, right, to add something, I already knew you put the money in the safe deposit box. The key should still be with you, so don't think about using that as a bargaining chip."
Akemi Miyano glanced at Yu Hoshimiya, then took the pistol and safe deposit box key out of her bag and placed them on the table.
"Stop testing me, just state your terms."
Akemi Miyano did not forget what Yu Hoshimiya had said on the phone: that she could help her sisters escape from the organization.
She was naive, not stupid. After her last shred of illusion about the organization was shattered, she quickly figured out the key point.
Hoshigumi Yu was clearly not on the same page as the organization, otherwise they wouldn't have made a special private meeting with her and revealed such confidential information.
She would not give up as long as there was a sliver of hope that she could escape the organization with her younger sister.
She would give anything for this.
144 Conditions
Now, her only hope lies in this mysterious young man before her, so Akemi Miyano presents herself with her utmost sincerity.
Looking at the pistol and keys on the table, Hoshimiya Yu smiled with satisfaction.
His mouth was almost dry from talking, but thankfully Akemi Miyano didn't disappoint him.
"Since that's the case, I won't keep you in suspense any longer. My name is Hoshiguma Yu, I'm 22 years old, and I was recently forced to join the organization. However, I have a special ability..."
Xinggong Yu also revealed everything directly, laying out all his information and purpose, only describing the system and the prophecy as magic.
It wasn't that I was deliberately hiding it; it's just that using magic to explain it is more convenient, and Miyano Akemi can understand it better.
As Miyano Akemi listened, the expression on her pretty face gradually changed from surprise to suspicion.
Hoshimiya Yu's purpose and ambition surprised her, but what he said next made her wonder if he had something wrong with his head...
"If the elixir of immortality can be achieved, why can't magic exist?"
