After a brief moment of surprise, Gin quickly reacted to the hidden message in the youth's words.
What a letdown..
It seems Heine is very fast, Gin thought. Sheila didn't even have time to notify the IC. PO people.
However, this impatient manner—
If it wasn't because he was being looked after too smoothly by Sheila, then she must have trusted this little one and told him some inside information, right?
So when Sheila was out of contact, this little one would target him.
Of course, it wasn't impossible that he was intentionally putting on this act.
However, this Gin was lying there quite innocently, even though his naturally cold and aloof nature meant he had no intention of arguing.
He stared at this little one who was a newborn calf unafraid of tigers for a while, when suddenly a flash of inspiration struck him, he thought of a brilliant move.
She tilted her head, lost in thought.
..
That little one looked quite green—perhaps because of his baby face—but he wasn't a reckless person after all. After venting, he realized her mistake and lowered her head again, putting on an expression as if he had lost all connection.
After briefly considering the feasibility of the plan, Gin decided to begin his performance.
He mourned for Sheila in his heart for three seconds, thinking of the man about to be shot, but since you also caused me to be shot through no fault of my own, let's consider us even this time.
Thinking this way, Gin's expression remained unchanged. He lowered his head and looked down at the Little one before him: "You've found the wrong person."
His words seemed to give the little one some incredible hint; the child looked up, staring at him with eyes that were somewhat stubborn, filled with unyielding determination.
You should go to Heine; he is the one responsible for Sheila's disappearance.
This statement is absolutely true, honest and beyond doubt, truer than a sea pearl from the deep sea.
However—
In this current situation, was there any suspicion of being misleading..
And what does it have to do with him?
Gin let out a sneer, his green eyes appearing to be covered by a thin layer of frost.
He leaned down, casually drawing the professional combat knife tied to his arm. The steel blade reflected a faint, cold glint under the Light, sharp and lethal.
Gin casually used the tip of his knife to lift the chin of the youth before him, forcing the chin of that person upward by his movement. The Silver-haired man's gaze shifted from indifference to a mischievous, half-smiling look: "Little one—"
He drew out his tone, his words filled with malicious mockery.
Even though that wasn't his original intention.
He continued, "Even Sheila is not my match, let alone you."
"However—" Facing the other's refusal to show weakness despite being in such a precarious state where life is in danger, Gin couldn't help but secretly praise him in his heart.
He liked this kind of teammate.
After all [unknown].
“I could perhaps arrange for you to meet Sheila.” A very subtle smile curled at the corners of the Silver-haired man's lips, his gaze containing a hint of obscure, ill intent.
He casually moved the kitchen knife aside, performing a graceful flourish with the blade, then stood up to look at this little one.
How is it?
He asked.
..
Regarding this, Sheila expressed intense indignation.
Don't kidnap my child (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Author's Note: I received a notification saying the function to request revisions using Monthly Stones is offline, so I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Although I'm still a bit depressed, by the way, can the 100 Moonstones that were deducted be returned to me? QAQ
The site says that after a revision, the text needs to undergo a re-review, it might take a long time.. So if there are any typos, I might fix them all together during the next update to prevent Little Angel from being unable to read the text.
But there's no use talking about all that now.. The chapters I want to edit are still under high-level review.. so I can't edit them yet.
It is still unclear what the current review standards are, so just to be safe, I have cut down some of the plot later on ORZ
..
Since Yueshi Xiuwun seems to have gone offline, this extra chapter is specially dedicated to the Little Angel who went out of their way to give me a bomb yesterday for this very purpose.
And thanks to all the Little Angels who care about me, love you guys~
Chapter 150 Chapter 134 "Furuya, I'll take you to a..
There is a saying that rings true: good and evil both receive their retribution; the heavens bring all things full circle.
Believe me, just look at it—no one escapes the heavens.
Sheila, an Organization Cadre who was so obsessed with contributing to his own organization that she once even wanted to poach members from the Black Organization, would likely never have imagined that one day, someone would poach him.
He stared with a pair of clear, bright cobalt blue eyes, as if a lake were filled with breathtaking seawater, yet the surface of the water was not vast and calm at this moment—
It was turbulent.
The Agent [female], who had been through wind and rain, made no attempt to hide her fury. She extended a slender, green-like finger and tapped Xiao Xie [male] hard on the head, cursing as she did, "Are you stupid?!"
“You fell for it so easily, where is your intelligence?!"
The Girl's sweet and refreshing voice now held a hint of coldness, like an icy spring in the dead of winter in the mountains: "Wake up!"
Xiao Xie lowered his head and remained silent, using his actual strength to demonstrate what it truly meant to be as quiet as a mouse.
The Youth who had been cruelly deceived felt nothing but bitter tears in his heart, thinking to himself that these days, there really is no trust left between people QAQ.
Despite all the talk and all the cursing, what else could Sheila do? Since the Newcomer was from his own family, he would have to deal with the consequences of the idiot's stupidity himself.
However—
With a youth like Xiao Xie being so naive, it might be good to let him undergo some training under Gin.. at least he won't fall into such simple traps in the future.
He sighed in his heart, in an instant, she planned to release the youth under his command.
The abandoned Xiao Xie youth does not yet know that he has been abandoned by the Senior he once trusted; he blinked, took a step back to avoid the Senior's sharp edge, asked uncharacteristically submissively, "Then.. what should I do next?"
Sheila pondered for a moment.
“Follow Gin first.” Even without any makeup, Sheila was still beautiful, however, without the touch of Cosmetics, the flushed color she had used as a Disguise on his face had completely vanished, his delicate, translucent skin had grown even paler.
An unpleasant itch rose in his throat, Sheila could faintly taste the distinct, metallic tang of blood. He cleared his throat nonchalantly, forcing down the cough that threatened to erupt at any second.
The taste of blood spread across his tongue, but Sheila raised his head without his expression changing; in fact, his demeanor, his mannerisms, his gaze remained as calm and composed as ever.
“Although I am currently cooperating with Gin.. this cooperation is not an equal relationship,” Sheila explained calmly. “The restrictions placed upon me are significantly greater, even.. I have almost no leverage to threaten Gin.”
He knew clearly how terrifying that man's abilities were, so she had no desire to become his enemy.
But regardless, given his own position, she still needed to have his own precautions and trump cards ready.
“If you follow him, you might be able to see things that I cannot see—” After a pause, the IC. PO elite added, “But even if you don't, it doesn't matter. Just make sure you don't leak our own secrets!”
At this point, she felt an even greater sense of frustration at his lack of progress.
"Understood," Xiao Xie promised solemnly.
After a pause, the Youth's immature brow and eyes revealed unmistakable Guilt. She struggled for a few seconds before lowering her head and honestly admitting her mistake, "I'm sorry.. Senior.."
Sheila fell silent.
After a long silence, she let out a soft sigh, turning her head to meet the youth's clear black eyes, her voice softening for the first time today:
Forget it.. don't let it happen again.
..
Over here, Sheila and Xiao Xie were acting out a heartwarming scene of mutual care between a senior and a junior, while over there, Gin was acting out a storm of intrigue and espionage.
Although his main focus over the past year has been on Brandy, it hasn't stopped Gin from becoming increasingly dissatisfied with Rum's behavior.
Using the Akai Shuichi incident as an excuse, Rum launched an attack on Gin, but the latter was in no hurry, taking the opportunity to dump those thankless missions he had on hand onto the other man to cause him trouble.
To put it bluntly, in the eyes of Gin, who was gradually developing thoughts of jumping ship, the status of the Organization was becoming increasingly insignificant to him—even though he still needed it for now.
But even so, if one wanted to reach into his sphere of influence, how could they do so without paying a price?
Akai Shuichi had once been an Undercover, so his reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance abilities were self-evident; even if Gin wanted to monitor his movements to make preparations, he could not be too overt about it.
However—
That little one, Conan, was different.
Regarding this little one, Gin himself was quite interested; he was always quite interested in opponents with talent.
Even though the Great Detective is still too tender in his eyes, he is already much better than many of the Black Organization's terrible teammates.
However—
So.. why is it that every strong person ends up being his opponent!
Even if he doesn't fear challenges, is this kind of war of attrition really okay?! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻┻
Using a trusted Subordinate to spy on Conan—the official request was to monitor Mori Kogoro—it was an easy excuse to make; he could simply claim he still suspected Mori Kogoro after that Bug incident.
—Anyway, it was Conan who did it in the first place.
Soon, Shuichi Akai's existence was exposed, at the same time, Sera Masumi's appearance gave him some time to prepare.
And also—
I have to say, Bourbon, you really have a thing for part-time jobs like being a restaurant waiter! What does this even matter? Isn't a Japanese Public Security officer who can't cook still a good driver?
To be honest, once you resign, you could totally try being a chef!
However, there was one more thing that weighed on his mind—
By the way, why is Nana so interested in Sera Masumi?
