Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

Small drama 2: Being hit by a bloody halo - Distillery (Whiskey) Part 3

The upper-class dinner party was magnificent to the eyes.

Men and women in gorgeous clothes were toasting and chatting with each other. Under the crystal chandeliers, their faces were reflected, smiling but ambitious.

Taketori and An, who made their debut, felt awkward at first, but then gradually integrated into the group.

The visible immaturity coupled with the reserved and polite manners made countless people present cast their eyes on this new face representing the Karasuma family.

Observe, probe, exchange information...

Soon, the news that the Karasuma family had found their lost son, Karasuma Ren'ye, spread to countless people.

Many people who heard that Uramaru Renya had no children, only an adopted son who was adopted since childhood and who he valued and doted on, wanted to watch the show.

I never expected that one day the Karasuma family would also stage a drama of family feud among the rich and powerful.

One is the adopted son who has been raised by my side since childhood, and the other is the biological son who was found recently. It's really like both sides of the hand are flesh and blood.

No one knows who will inherit the Karasuma Group in the end.

Anticipating the impact that the Karasuma family's upcoming, no, ongoing, battle for succession would bring, many people suddenly became excited.

Start fighting quickly, start a dispute, and it would be best if the entire Karasuma Group was involved.

Internal factions are taking sides, people are uneasy, the stock market is turbulent, and Karasuma Renye, an old guy who has been recuperating outside for many years, must be very angry.

If anything else happens, that would be... great.

Those who pursue profit talk and laugh happily, but they have a lot of thoughts in their mind.

The speculators were drinking and chatting, their thoughts racing.

Under the thin layer of human skin, the beast dominated by ambition slowly revealed its ferocious fangs.

The scarlet eyes were fixed on Taketori and An, who had unknowingly become the center of the business dinner.

the other end,

Taketori Ying, who stayed in the villa to take care of her pregnancy, gently pushed open the door and stepped onto the wooden floor of the corridor in her soft cloth slippers without making any sound.

At night, only the first floor of the villa was guarded by the chef and servants, waiting for Taketori and An to return from the banquet.

There were only three people on the remaining floors, including Taketori Hotaru and the baby in her belly.

After learning from the servant that the entire villa had no surveillance equipment, Taketori Hotaru walked cautiously on the stairs leading to the top floor.

The special skills exchanged from the system allowed her to arrive silently at the top floor, which Whiskey had warned her not to enter in advance.

Walking along the corridor, Taketori Ying walked towards the innermost lounge with a clear goal.

The wall lights that should have come on as she passed by remained dark.

During this time, while Whiskey was not living in the villa, Taketori Hotaru had carefully searched the entire villa.

No one expected that Taketori Hotaru, who spent most of her time in bed in her room taking care of her pregnancy, would transform into a shadowless thief at night.

The locked door was like a stack of newspapers under the unlocking ability given by the Rich Family Counterattack System No. 0663.

Just lift it up slightly and you can clearly see the contents inside.

However, the search yielded nothing.

In fact, this place was just a temporary residence for Karasuma Renya and Taketori Hōrō, and whiskey had never stayed here in the past.

Things that shouldn't appear will naturally not appear here.

Before Taketori Hotaru reached the door of the lounge, the elevator display panel near the lounge suddenly lit up.

Someone is coming up in the elevator! Who would appear here at this time?

Is the reason why Karasuma Soshin doesn't let people get close to the top floor because of the people in the elevator?

Taketori Ying was shocked when he didn't hear any movement on the first floor, and quickly exchanged the expensive ten-minute invisibility skill from the system.

There was no time to mourn the sudden loss of a large number of points before the elevator door slowly opened.

Several people in white coats walked out, their faces covered tightly with masks and their hands wrapped in white rubber gloves.

In addition, there was a small cart filled with large and small boxes and covered tightly with a white cloth.

The carpet on the floor absorbed most of the noise from the wheels.

The tightly closed door of the lounge was pushed open by the leading man in a white coat, and the light in the room poured out, shining on the group of people.

In the few seconds when the door opened, Taketori Hotaru, relying on his invisibility, quickly moved forward to look inside.

Then, he saw Whiskey, who had a cold face and an icy look. The disgust in his eyes could be felt from eight hundred meters away.

The moment the door closed,

Taketori Ying clearly heard the leading man in a white coat speak without any respect:

"The medicine we're going to try this time is a bit painful. To prevent you from hurting yourself while struggling, do you want to get a shot of muscle relaxant first?"

After hearing everything that was said, Taketori Ying returned to her room in fear. Only after she closed the door did she slowly let out the breath she had been holding.

When Taketori and Anxin returned from the banquet with satisfaction, they opened the door and saw their lover who looked obviously abnormal.

"what happened?"

Taketori Kazuan sat down next to Taketori Ying and reached out to hold her slightly cold hand.

The transfer of body temperature made Taketori Hotaru feel at ease.

After calming down, Taketori Ying looked up at Taketori Hean and told him everything he had seen before.

After listening, Taketori and An finally understood why Taketori Ying was in this state.

Testing drugs, muscle relaxants, this kind of treatment doesn't look like an adopted son of the richest man, it's more like an experimental subject.

Realizing that something was wrong, Taketori Kazuyasu realized that the adoptive father-son relationship between Karasuma Renya and Karasuma Soshin was far more complicated than he had imagined, and he became suspicious of the background information provided to him by the system.

"System, is it true that Karasuma Soshin was born in an orphanage and was adopted by Karasuma Renye since childhood?"

After Taketori and An gritted their teeth and clicked to pay a three-digit amount of energy points, the Rich Family Counterattack System No. 0663, which had been pretending to be deaf and dumb, finally started to work.

A few minutes later, the answer came.

"According to the information, yes."

“What if it’s not based on the data?

In other words, when did the information about Karasuma Renya adopting Karasuma Soshin appear? "

Taketori Ying's intelligent question made Taketori He An's eyes light up.

Yes, information can be falsified.

The wealthy counterattack system 0663, which never works for nothing, continued to pretend not to hear until another energy point was credited, and then it slowly gave the answer.

Hearing that the year and time were completely inconsistent with the information, Taketori Hean and Taketori Ying all frowned.

At this moment, the two of them deeply realized that the water in this mission world was much deeper than all the mission worlds they had experienced before.

Can they really complete the mission this time?

This thought suddenly occurred to Taketori Kazuyasu, who had never lost a battle.

In the top-floor lounge, Whiskey sat calmly on a light grey cushion.

The man in the white coat, who had been very arrogant and spoke in a contemptuous tone, immediately bowed and apologized to Whiskey after the door of the lounge was closed.

Extremely humble.

The people following behind him did the same, with their heads bowed deeply.

The group had no idea why Whiskey had asked them to come and perform this act. Even though they knew it was all fake, they were still terrified at having offended Whiskey.

As a member of the shadow side of the Karasuma Group, they knew too well how terrifying this young heir who was not well-known in the open was.

"You did a great job and met my expectations perfectly."

Whiskey's generous praise put the hearts of these people disguised as doctors at ease.

After five hours,

The group of people left the villa in a mysterious manner, pushing a cart filled with unknown contents, just as they had come.

the next day,

The troubled Taketori Kazuan and Taketori Ying saw Whiskey, who was trying hard to keep his spirits up but had a weak feeling all over his body and pale lips.

Taketori and Ansaku told Whiskey about last night's banquet without knowing anything about it, and there was a visible sense of boasting in their words.

Compared to the reserved and clean young man with kindness in his eyes at the beginning, there has been a tremendous change.

Whiskey, who was provoked again, still showed an indifferent attitude, and only responded politely after Taketori and An finished speaking.

There was neither disgust nor contempt, as if he saw nothing.

After that, the sound of the sports car's engine was heard again.

After Whiskey drove away from the villa, Karasuma, the butler who had disappeared for several days, handed a note to Taketori Kazuyasu.

At the same time, he expressed his concern for Taketori Hotaru and the health of the baby in her belly.

Upon learning that everything was fine, Butler Karasuma showed a happy and loving smile on his face.

Taketori and An looked through the contents of the post, their expressions showing surprise, yet also a hint of uneasiness.

"Am I going alone this time? My brother will definitely be unhappy if he finds out.

Otherwise, let the eldest brother go this time, he is the heir to the consortium, right? "

As if he was afraid that Karasuma Butler would misunderstand him, Taketori Kazuan explained hurriedly and in a panic:

"I... I don't have any other intentions. I am already very satisfied to be my father's son and to have the life I have now.

My eldest brother is better and smarter than me, so it is only natural for him to be the heir to the Karasuma Group.

I…I mean, for an occasion like this, he is the more suitable one to attend…"

Taketori Kazuyasu was so anxious that sweat broke out on his face, fearing that Karasuma butler would think that he was coveting the position of heir to the Karasuma Group and wanted to replace Karasuma Sonobu.

The kind-hearted Karasuma butler naturally wouldn't mind this and calmed the man down in a gentle manner.

He also said that the eldest young master in the family has never liked this kind of business communication. Since he was a child, his rebellious temper has always caused his husband a lot of headaches.

Now that there is someone who can attend on his behalf, the gentleman is very happy.

Taketori and An checked the progress of the strategy and the favorability of Karasuma Renya, and found that the favorability had increased by 10% compared to the previous Zero.

The progress of the strategy also went from nothing to the 15% dividing line.

Taketori and An were very confused about this.

If it's because of blood ties, that's obviously not the case.

But why would the favorability increase by just attending some banquets on someone's behalf?

Is it simply because I feel relieved that he is useful, or is it due to other factors?

After delivering the invitation and caring for Taketori Hean and Taketori Ying, Butler Karasuma did not stay long.

However, what the two did not know was that after leaving the villa, Butler Karasuma went to meet Whiskey.

On the coast of Tokyo Bay, Whiskey turned his eyes away from the lively chat room content on his phone when he heard footsteps behind him.

He turned and looked at the gray-haired Karasuma Butler.

"If you have anything to say, just give me a call. Why would Butler Karasuma have to come here in person?"

"Sir, I'm afraid you've forgotten, so I'll come and remind you personally."

Facing Whiskey's gaze, Butler Karasuma finished the second half of the sentence word by word.

“Your stay is almost up.

Taketori and An'na, sir, I hope you can resolve this as soon as possible."

Since the day he learned about his memory problems, Karasuma Renya has not had a good night's sleep.

The memory of the one-night stand that kept replaying in his dreams not only failed to make Renye Karasuma feel any affection or love for her, but instead woke him up from his dreams every time.

The first moment he woke up, he felt like he had survived a disaster.

As time went by, his desire to kill Taketori Hean, Taketori Ying, and the child in Taketori Ying's belly and grind them to ashes became stronger and stronger.

If I hadn't known that Gin and the others had also encountered such a sudden misfortune, I would have thought of enduring for a while to find out what these people's intentions were and what tricks they had.

Then find an opportunity to gather this group of people together and catch them all in one fell swoop, and eliminate the evil force behind them along with it.

Karasuma Renya wished that he could immediately and immediately physically destroy Taketori He An and Taketori Ying from this world.

He felt that letting them live one more minute was a torture to himself.

The only thing that made Karasuma Renya feel that his patience during this period was worthwhile was that he used Taketori and Yasu to lure out those people and forces with ulterior motives within the Karasuma family and the Karasuma Group.

"I see."

After getting the correct answer, Butler Karasuma said nothing else, leaving the beautiful sea view of Tokyo Bay to Whiskey to enjoy alone.

I do not know how long it has been,

Whiskey's eyes fell on the surface of Tokyo Bay. His mind was empty when he suddenly heard a burst of excited shouts.

“Found it!!! It’s really here!!!”

The shouts filled with joy and excitement attracted the attention of people around.

Whiskey, who was sitting on a relatively round stone very close to the surface of Tokyo Bay with the tide right under his toes, turned his eyes to the source of the sound like everyone else.

Conan found a bloody dagger in the sand on the shore and was enjoying the praise from Takagi Wataru and others, and did not notice at all that a pair of inquiring eyes fell on him.

Shuichi Akai, who was disguised in pink fur, noticed the gazes from all around.

But he did not notice that among those gazes, one came from a member of the Black Organization.

The longer distance did not attract the attention of the organization's radar on Haibara Ai.

The discovery of the murder weapon solved the mysterious murder case that had troubled the investigation team for several days.

The members of the Junior Detective Team were overjoyed at the joy of successfully solving the case again.

When leaving, Genta Kojima was attracted by a black sports car parked on the side of the road.

“This car is so cool~”

“It’s also very expensive, with prices starting at nine figures.”

Kojima Genta's eager idea to try was completely extinguished by the bucket of cold water poured down by Haibara Ai.

Afterwards, the group passed the sports car and headed towards Beika Town.
