The Computer's Screen lit up.
To be honest, his Hacking skill.. was actually quite good.

Chapter 98: Temporary.
Of course, it wasn't just tattooed on randomly.
Sheila stared at her arm; her fair, delicate skin was smooth and flawless, like fine silk. She stroked her arm over and over, feeling the beautiful shape of the bones beneath her palm.
She was nowhere near the level of surpassing her predecessor; after all, her Mother could ignore faint surveillance and even achieve an audacious counterkill. Under the weight of that ever-expanding power and danger, she could only choose to get a tattoo to ensure her safety.
After personally destroying the part that was most similar, the level of danger decreased significantly.
Actually, for her, it wasn't even a loss. It was just a small tattoo; if anything, it showed off her personality..
Guizhidao Zhege!
Little Fairy's gaze was terrifyingly cold.
The Godfather, who holds great power over the Sicily Mafia, the Mercenary who was radiantly flamboyant many years ago—the bloodline they left behind would certainly not be the type to endure grievances in silence.
No matter how carefree she might appear on the surface, no matter how casual her personality, she was proud to her very core..
She would absolutely, absolutely never forget this humiliation.
One day, I will pay it all back, exactly as it was—including the part for Mother.
Gin would also not forget.
If he could have turned a blind eye to the existence of B. W. before, while perhaps making a few sarcastic remarks about Takao Haruki's pathetic state, Gin had already decided to fight them to the death after learning that they had also listed him as a "Figure" target.
Of course, before that, he planned to make a trip to a bar.
A bar called 'Silver Bonny'.
He really wanted to know, before his death.. what exactly Shiratori Midori had left behind.
And what was it that caused Shiratori Midori's final death.
..
Pino could not understand how he had fallen to such a state.
At first, she stayed in Sicily working for the Gentleman, then she was sent here to "look after" the Young Master. The Young Master's life in the Organization was smooth sailing, so she could focus on her research while peacefully collecting two salaries.
However, the hard times arrived soon.
First, the Top Killer, who was close to the Young Master, would order her around whenever he felt like it. Since she was under Heine's command, his Boss gave his consent, she had no choice but to compromise, leaving his with no way to refuse. Soon after, a girl who was as beautiful as a celestial being suddenly appeared by the Young Master's side.
As a result, the Young Master, who was her Target, failed to recognize her identity; instead, it was the Young Master's 'girlfriend' who saw through her.
This 'girlfriend' isn't a real girlfriend either.. May all lovers in this world eventually become siblings.
The instructions from the Gentleman were to fulfill Sheila's requests to the best of his ability, as long as her demands were not excessive.
So, Gentleman.. what kind of standard constitutes being unreasonable!
Pino felt miserable after being dragged onto this sinking ship, but he couldn't say so.
It's getting even more interesting now, Pino thought through gritted teeth; Little Fairy's courage is astonishing, as she has started cooperating with Gin.
Young Master, you need to control your sister!
That's right, then there's this one.
Looking at Rye, whose cold expression and sharp gaze made it clear he was no pushover, she was currently being scrutinized by him, his words carrying an unmistakable sense of probing.
Pino, with his expressionless face, was feeling extremely shaken inside.
However, her Young Master was clearly unaware of this.
Heine, who was clearly quite intelligent but had been made to look like a naive sweetheart by his Friend Gin and his Sister Sheila, was currently enjoying his Sister's acting cute and coquettish behavior.
Her sister's beautiful eyes blinked as she held her hand, murmuring and describing a new Prada bag she had her eyes on, her identical blue eyes filled with reliance.
Heine's sister-complex heart was stirring, he immediately promised to buy her everything she wanted.
However, he remained steadfast; although his attention had been partially diverted by the so-called bag, he had not forgotten his Target for this trip in the slightest.
Stay away from Gin, my dear sister; if you play with fire like this, you won't even know how you died!
Would Sheila give him the chance to speak?
Brother, my next mission is in Africa. After I buy the bag, I'll leave it with you for a while, I'll come back to pick it up when I return.
Just as Sheila expected—
You're going to Africa?!" Heine immediately noticed the point (Sheila had intentionally emphasized), he grew anxious: "Who gave you the mission?
"Brandy," Sheila said, pouting slightly. The gesture made her stunningly beautiful face appear even more charming, like a warm pink cherry blossom slowly blooming.
Heine frowned, pondering how to negotiate with Ichimi, completely unaware that in the eyes of outsiders, he was just a man infatuated by beauty.
But even if he did know, he probably wouldn't care.
There were many things he did not care about.
Beside her, Sheila curled her lips into a silent smile; the plan was working.
The scheming girl did not press his advantage; instead, she leaned quietly against the Sofa, his tall figure appearing much more petite and endearing as she curled up on it. Watching Brother's busy silhouette working for her, Sheila suddenly felt an impulse to shed tears.
I will be fine.
You won't be anything either.
We will all live well, until the end.
So she blinked her eyes, wiped away the last few traces of moisture from the corners of her eyes, stood up.
The stray hairs at her forehead scattered before her eyes because of her movements, the Black-haired girl's features remained as beautiful as a painting. Using her usual sweet voice, she said to her Brother, "Brother, is there anything I should be careful about when going to Africa?"
The moment Heine turned to look at her, she faintly saw the way the youth had smiled at her when he heard her calling, back on the way home from school many years ago.
You are my only Family.
Brother.

The transparent, clear liquid displayed various colored glints under the colorful neon lights, the glass was so transparent that it seemed to merge with the liquid. The ice in the drink was shaped into spheres, incredibly hard, cold, refreshing, invisibly enhancing the cocktail's mouthfeel.
The aroma of the liquor was rich; the passionate, refreshing character unique to Vodka blended perfectly with the crisp sweetness of White Cointreau on the palate, carrying a dreamlike fragrance. A hint of lemon juice neutralized the slight astringency of the liquid, adding a touch of sweet and sourness.
A thin lemon slice was perched on the rim of the glass, while a cherry floated within the transparent liquid at the bottom, garnished with a mint leaf. The shades of tender yellow and fresh green served as delicate accents upon the clear liquid and the colorless glass.
Gently swirling the wine glass, the cherry bobbed up and down, the ice clinked against the glass, producing a pleasant echo.
Taking a small sip, he immediately recognized what this cocktail was.
'Snow Country'.
Late at night many years ago, the bustling crowds, the dazzling Light, the Cocktail he personally handed over, the brilliant starlight in the Girl's eyes.
Who is saying that one phrase, "Happy Birthday"?
And who was it that said they would stay by my side all the way?
Who pulled the Trigger with their own hands?
And who was the first to break their promise?
After all the twists and turns, many years have passed, the grievances and grudges have long since become a blur of right and wrong.
Everything seemed to have returned to the starting point.
..
Furuya-san, 'Black Fox' has been caught.
The smuggler codenamed 'Black Fox' had plagued them for a long time, the fact that the Criminal has finally been arrested is indeed good news for them.
There was internal strife between Black Fox and his Companion, he fled after killing his Companion," Kazami added unhurriedly. "The Osaka Prefectural Police Chief, Mr. Hattori Heijizo, was quite helpful.
"Be more specific," Amuro Tooru said, frowning slightly upon hearing this, wanting to know more details.
Kazami nodded, only realizing in the next second that Amuro Tooru on the other end of the communication couldn't see him at all. He hurriedly replied, "Alright, it's like this.."
The details of the incident were not particularly complex, since Kazami had followed up on it for a long time, recounting the process now was an incredibly easy task.
Five minutes later, Kazami finished his statement, Bourbon asked a few more questions regarding the details before finally putting down his communication device.
The mobile phone screen went black.
Bourbon put it into his coat pocket, his violet eyes darkening slightly as his gaze drifted away. His finger tapped the tabletop intermittently, his brow furrowed slightly, clearly lost in thought.
The arrest of 'Black Fox' had settled one of his recent worries, but—
Speaking of which, those two eyewitnesses who fled after discovering the corpse, according to Kazami's description.. why do they sound so familiar?
No way?
..
On the other end, Gin was also on a phone call.
