The man looked directly at Brandy, his eyes filled with an unyielding determination: "Where is the one you've been keeping for yourself?"
Brandy tilted her head slightly, letting out a light chuckle, with not a trace of fear in her eyes: "It seems you know."
He knows that the Black Organization actually circulated two sets of research materials, he knows that one of them was kept privately by himself.
And—
That man, who had gone through years of bloodshed and had his hands stained with countless blood, slightly raised his eyes. His reddish-brown eyes held a hint of coldness, yet it was enough to make an ordinary person's spine run cold.
You must have found the other two sets of research materials as well, right?
..
For smart people, some things do not need to be asked, some things do not need to be said.
Often, a single sentence, a single word, or even a single glance is enough to reach a mutual understanding.
Just as Gin could guess that Brandy must have the whereabouts of a certain set of research materials, the moment Gin voiced his intention, Brandy also realized the cards Gin held.
The Silver-haired man, realizing he had spoken too much, frowned slightly, a rare flicker of irritation passing through his green eyes, but he quickly regained his composure and did not panic because of it.
Top Killer's hand rested on the handgun at his waist; his black handgun had accompanied him through much Time, he trusted it more than his own Subordinate.
"Don't be nervous." Even facing the Black Organization's top Assassin—one who was also armed with a handgun—Brandy's face showed no sign of panic.
He even curled his lips into a slight smile of Joy, just as an Old man would guide his own back.
Shall we make a deal?
This scene felt strangely familiar, as if everything had returned to several years ago.

Chapter 162: Chapter 146 He Begins to Gamble
Gin felt momentarily dazed.
The scene at this moment was so familiar that it actually reminded him of a time years ago, when he had just completed his mission to Mermaid Island and went to see Brandy.
He seemed just as nonchalant, telling him with a calm and indifferent tone, "Let's make a deal?"
The research content of that transaction concerned the Miyano couple.
The research content of this transaction.. thinking about it, it should be about the same.
Gin lowered his eyes slightly, for a moment, he actually felt something almost laughable.
How long has Brandy been setting up this trap?
Perhaps he had already made her calculations in her heart since the very moment Gin first received her codename, a long, long time ago.
The youth's cold and indifferent green eyes gazed at him silently, making him momentarily recall the Time spent in Russia, feeling the cold wind and snow of Siberia.
Silver hair as exquisite as moonlight made him dazed for a moment.
But it was only for a moment.
Afterward, he thought of something even deeper.
The youth before him might become a fine pawn.
The Silver-haired youth, who was like an old acquaintance, was naturally in opposition to B. W, his brother, who was becoming increasingly addicted to Figure games, would not miss such excellent material.
But not yet.
The Silver-haired killer is still too tender; a newborn wolf cannot withstand an adult Leopard. If the youth is exposed to his brother's eyes now, the outcome is self-evident.
Thus, Brandy intentionally or unintentionally isolated the Brother from the Youth.
However, this was not enough.
Whether it be Gin or his brother, neither is a fool. Once the youth has sufficient strength, his brother will not become his enemy over a head of silver hair, Gin will not go to war with an organization over a mere old grudge.
Therefore, the "grudge" must be even deeper.
But as for Brandy, he had not yet thought of the point at which the conflict would intensify.
At first, he only thought about wearing them down slowly and acting according to the situation.
Fortunately, perhaps because his luck was exceptionally good, one day, the girl with the same green eyes beside Gin defected.
He knew a little about this girl as well; in fact, he had been curious ever since the Miyano couple's so-called "Silver Bullet," known for being able to "steal people from the hands of the dead," first emerged from their research.
He knew that his Brother was also paying attention.
However, neither he nor his Brother placed any hope in the 'Silver Bullet'.
After all, coming back to life was far too ethereal a concept.
However, even so, he had heard a little about how some Organization high-level members were monitoring Shiratori Midori—even if he didn't think that a young girl could hide any secrets.
—Of course, in hindsight, he had been far too arrogant.
At that time, after Brandy learned the news of Shiratori Midori's defection, he had a sudden flash of inspiration.
He cautiously utilized his most trusted subordinates to divert the Girl's escape route toward his Brother.
—It was just that something he never expected was that, after this, his Brother actually developed the idea of resurrecting the Silver-haired girl.
More and more crazed.
But it doesn't matter; after this, the Solution 'Silver Bullet' will surely become the second point of contention between Gin and his Brother.
It is even more deeply rooted than the first.
And then, after Shiratori Midori died and Gin gradually rose to a high position, Brandy retired, handing over most of his influence to Gin to serve as the heavy weight for the youth to contend against.
Step by step, meticulously planned.
You see, his calculations were never lacking in any way.
Regarding these matters, Gin knew some and was unaware of others.
But without a doubt, he was now on the opposite side of B. W, leaving no room for retreat.
Even Brandy probably never imagined that, in the Underground Secret Room, Gin would steal the corpse of that Silver-haired beauty.
—It is already a fight to the death.
But the feeling of being schemed against was truly infuriating! To the point where Gin stared at Brandy with icy eyes, a sharp, caustic curve forming at the corner of his mouth: "You certainly are a deep thinker."
Brandy shook her head.
He wasn't trying to act smug after getting the upper hand; he was simply looking at this man, whom he had carefully selected and refined, said in the tone of an experienced veteran, "You are stronger than me."
“It's just that I gained the upper hand.” The Old man's Voice was still hoarse and weak, but no one would underestimate this Old man who was already in the twilight of his life.
Gin tilted her head slightly and let out a soft chuckle.
That laughter contained an indescribable indifference, as well as a faint, subtle aggression.
In the next second, before Brandy and Madra could even react, the man's face instantly darkened, at the same time, the black muzzle of the Beretta M92F was pointed directly at Brandy.
“!!”
Madra was startled.
This woman, who was always calm, composed, so formal she was almost like an artificial AI, showed a level of panic she had never shown before, she subconsciously stepped forward, wanting to stand in front of her Master.
However—
Madra!
Brandy's hoarse voice rang out in the empty study, sounding even more eerie and cold amidst the current tense standoff.
His restraint caused the reluctant Madra to stop his footsteps helplessly, leaving only a pair of clear, pained eyes staring deathly at Gin.
Gin was unmoved by it.
The Silver-haired man had to admit that Brandy was the most troublesome enemy he was facing at this moment.
It wasn't that he had never shown any weaknesses.
The most obvious time was back then, when he was pursuing Scotland, he once showed a flaw to the Nani and Heine siblings.
However, at that time, he held even more serious leverage over the other party, the other party had no solid evidence regarding her own slip-up. Therefore, they held each other in check, Gin even held a slight advantage.
When he stopped Vermouth from investigating Nana's Secret, his stance was also revealed to him.
However, Shiratori Midori had been dead for many years, how much use Nana's existence could actually serve remained a mystery, but Kudo Yukiko and Mori Ran were definitely Vermouth's living weaknesses.
In front of Akai Shuichi and Amuro Tooru, he had, to some extent, revealed his stance.
However, for one, the other party had no evidence to prove this, for another, they were undercover themselves, so the words they spoke were far less influential than those of Gin, who was already deeply rooted within the Organization.
In these confrontations among these people, Gin always held the upper hand.
Not to mention, he has already planned to quit—this is also why his recent actions have become increasingly reckless, as there was no need to continue hiding things anyway.
However, Brandy was different.
This time, Brandy was the one holding the upper hand.
Whether it was the truth behind Shiratori Midori or the Silver Bullet research materials, one could say that Gin's lifeblood was held firmly in the hands of this Old man.
And what about Gin's trump card?
The sibling relationship between Brandy and the Master [female] is actually quite meaningless; they haven't seen each other in many years. Furthermore, as a Russian, he was able to climb step by step to the peak of the Black Organization to become a Core elder; perhaps Brandy's origins were revealed to BOSS long ago.
As for the matter of concealing research materials?
Not only did Gin have no evidence, but even if he did, what could he even say?
After all, he had also made a transaction with Byrrh in private!
—This is probably why, even when confronted face-to-face, Brandy remained calm and composed.
