Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

(Not related to the main text, just for fun)

Small drama 2: Being hit by a bloody halo - Distillery (Whiskey) Part 4

Where there is one there are two, and when there are two there are three.

In the next ten days, Taketori and Anlu received several invitations one after another.

And thanks to the post that Karasuma Butler personally handed to him, which was from Karasuma Renya's instruction, his social circle was no longer empty and hypocritical.

He was a rookie who was blinded by power and gradually developed ambitions. He wanted to compete for power with his adopted brother. His character setting led to a group of ambitious people who were seeking profit quickly gathering around Taketori and An.

He saw it clearly and picked out a few useful pieces.

Among them, a middle-aged man named Okura Xiao is the one with the most obvious ambition among all his chess pieces, and is also the easiest to fool.

The reason why he takes the trouble to deal with such people and create opportunities to get closer to them.

The main reason is that Okura Ei has connections among high-ranking members of the Defense Forces.

With Taketori and An's deliberate efforts, in just over a week, the two got along like close friends who had known each other for many years.

Then, a special invitation from Okura Xiao appeared in his hands.

Unlike other invitation posts that are full of ceremonial sense, Okura Xiao’s special invitation is an electronic invitation with a very modern style.

The content is clear at a glance, and there are no fancy introductions or greetings.

But Taketori Kazuyasu, who was talking on the phone with Okura Kō, knew very well that the importance of this gathering was far greater than the invitation that Karasuma Ren'ya asked Karasuma butler to give him.

It was a special gathering that could not be made public and was extremely private.

Whether it is an electronic invitation that leaves no paper traces, or the private island in the vast ocean that is used as the party location in the invitation.

As well as the need to arrive by private helicopter, and the heavyweight mysterious guests who were invited to attend.

All of these indirectly confirmed the importance of this gathering.

As for the ultimate enjoyment mentioned by Okura Kō on the phone, Taketori and An regarded it as normal.

It's just some fun-seeking tricks.

During the call, Taketori Kazuan, who portrayed Taketori Hotaru as her weakness and acted like a loving wife, hesitated for a moment.

The wealthy and dandy Okura Xiao on the other end of the phone readily said that he could take his wife with him.

Of course he didn't have to go, but such an opportunity was rare and it would be a shame not to go.

After saying that, Okura Xiao smacked his lips regretfully, sounding very nostalgic and as if he felt sorry for him.

Taketori Kazuan and Taketori Ying, who were making the call on the loudspeaker, looked at each other and readily accepted Okura Xiao's invitation.

Then, he told the news to Butler Karasuma.

After a while, Butler Karasuma replied and said that he would prepare transportation for them and all the preparations before the appointment.

Hand-made custom clothing, expensive jewelry worth no less than six figures, specialized image care and a thick stack of registration certificates for the owner's movable and immovable properties, packed in a small suitcase.

These things were delivered to the two of them on the afternoon before Taketori He An and Taketori Ying went to their appointment.

After carefully looking through the thick stack of registration certificates, Taketori Ying sighed:

"Such a large sum of money is really rare."

"It's also because he saw usefulness in his own son. He wasn't so generous before."

Taketori and An thought they had seen through the nature of people like Karasuma Renya.

Cold and heartless, seemingly loving, but in fact not moved by blood ties at all, and uses value as the only criterion.

In order to successfully complete the mission, the most important thing at the moment is not to defeat Karasuma Soshin, but to work hard to demonstrate your own value.

Moreover, judging from the known information, Karasuma Soshin may not necessarily be their eternal enemy.

With proper planning, maybe they could win him over to their side.

An adopted heir who was rumored to have been raised by his side since childhood and was doted on.

The information was supplemented later. To this day, most of the people within the consortium and the Karasuma family have never seen what Karasuma Sounobu looks like.

He has never attended any high-class events and has never appeared in public.

There was also the doctor who quietly appeared in the middle of the night, whose seemingly respectful but actually contemptuous attitude and who spoke of testing medicine.

After obtaining new information from Taketori Hotaru and getting answers from the system, Taketori and An thought more and more that Whiskey was just a puppet at the mercy of others.

The so-called adopted heir is nothing more than a false title used to cover up his puppet nature.

Indifference, arrogance and rudeness are just self-protection mechanisms triggered by being controlled by others but not wanting to be looked down upon.

Commonly known as an empty shell that deceives people.

Thinking about the appointment tomorrow, Taketori and An couldn't help feeling a little regretful.

He originally wanted to find an opportunity to test the waters again, then show goodwill to Whiskey and lay a solid foundation for friendly cooperation in the future.

However, from that day on, he only saw Whiskey once.

In the afternoon three days ago.

Unlike the previous times, that meeting ended with Whiskey leaving the villa on a helicopter.

Taketori and An asked curiously, and then learned from Karasuma butler that Whiskey was leaving this time to go abroad.

I won't be back until at least this time next year.

Whisky stays in the country for only twenty days each year.

This time, I came back early because of his appearance.

From then on, Taketori and An believed in their previous conjecture without a doubt.

The next day, Taketori Kazuyasu and Taketori Hotaru first took a private plane for more than ten hours, and then changed to a private helicopter.

Finally, on the morning of the third day, we successfully arrived at a private island with a pleasant climate and beautiful scenery.

The sun rises, white clouds slowly appear, and golden light falls on the sea, making the island look like a fairyland on earth.

As soon as I got off the helicopter, several young men and women with great looks, wearing different styles but the same clothes, surrounded me.

With a smile on his face, a respectful attitude and polite manners, he led the two people to a building not far away.

Zhutori and An and Zhutori did not doubt that he was there.

Less than a hundred meters away from them, several helicopters were parked steadily.

Some propellers are still turning and some hatches are already open.

There were even helicopters flying from the sky and hovering over the island.

As far as the eye can see, there is a middle-aged man getting off a helicopter, and there is also a young man walking on the road leading to a house in the distance, who is also being served attentively by handsome men and beautiful women.

In a relatively open and flat area, there are a group of tall and short buildings scattered around.

At this moment, in front of Taketori He An and Taketori Ying was a row of luxurious flats.

The furniture inside is fully furnished.

After welcoming the two into the house, a young woman with a golden badge on her chest, claiming to be the housekeeper and serving them, introduced the layout of the house and the content of the party to them.

During this time, the young woman was very considerate and prepared tea and snacks for the two of them.

After drinking the tea and snacks, I soon felt sleepy.

When they woke up again, Taketori Kazuyasu and Taketori Ying discovered that something had happened.

Bare walls, a locked door, and other than that, just the two of them.

It was pitch black without even a light.

Looking back, when Taketori Kazuyasu and Taketori Ying discovered that the problem was with the tea, it only took a few seconds for them to start thinking about who was behind the scenes and what the other party's purpose was.

The door was opened from the outside.

There was no creaking sound, and the door was so smooth that it seemed as if someone had oiled it every day.

There was a cold white light on at the top of the corridor outside the door. When the light shone in through the open door, Taketori Kazuan and Taketori Ying subconsciously narrowed their eyes.

Then I noticed there was a person standing at the door, his tall figure was extremely oppressive.

Even though they couldn't see his appearance clearly or know his identity, Taketori and An could immediately conclude that the other person was a dangerous person.

"Snapped!"

The sudden bright light in the room made Taketori Kazuan and Taketori Ying subconsciously close their eyes again.

In previous mission worlds, the two had also experienced a series of classic threats from the wealthy, such as kidnapping and extortion.

At first, there was no experience or exchange points, and the system assigned to me was a crudely made, common first-level system.

Apart from a slight squeak when a task is issued, the system is like a dead machine until the task is completed.

No help was offered.

At that time, Taketori Kazuan and Taketori Ying, who had not yet formed a team and had not received the favor of the Rich Counterattack System No. 0663, were on the verge of death and mission failure several times.

From being covered in wounds to being able to handle things with ease, and then to being undefeated, he was spotted by the wealthy counterattack system 0663 and recruited.

Taketori Kazuan and Taketori Ying have not encountered such a sudden and serious crisis for a long time.

Hearing the sound of hard boots stepping on the ground coming closer and closer, Taketori and An, who had experienced the pain of overturning again after countless years, did not dare to close their eyes for long.

I opened my eyes and my heart suddenly sank.

This is a dangerous person with blood on his hands who regards human life as nothing.

The moment Taketori and An's eyes met Gin's, their pupils shrank sharply after seeing Gin's appearance and expression.

"Who... who are you? Where... where is this?"

Seeing a face that looked 70% like Karasuma Renya, he looked panic-stricken and huddled on the ground trembling while holding his wife beside him.

Witnessing this scene up close, a hint of surprise first flashed across Gin's eyes, and then he guessed why Whiskey didn't mention it.

"Where are you, where are you, Gin? Why are you walking so fast? Are you impatient to meet the charming Miss Goya?"

With hurried footsteps and expectant complaints, Brandy walked over to Gin with the clattering sound of his beach shoes.

He looked in the direction Gin was looking at without much concern.

A short-sleeved floral shirt, matching beach pants, a pair of sun-protective sunglasses on his head that should have been worn on his eyes, and a green coconut in his right hand.

And the seductive straws stuck in the coconuts.

Halfway through the performance, Taketori and Ann stared blankly at Brandy, whose style had obviously changed suddenly, and began to wonder if they were overthinking.

This might just be a prank.

"Puff, cough, cough..."

Brandy looked at Taketori and An's faces in astonishment. The coconut juice he had just drunk turned into a fountain and he coughed loudly.

Pointing with trembling fingers at Taketori and An, Brandy blinked hard several times.

"Who... who is he?"

Suddenly seeing a younger version of Karasuma Renya, Brandy almost thought that the research team's research was successful, and then the ill-intentioned Gin took the opportunity to rebel and take power.

Hiss, no! His life is in danger.

Champagne, who was a few steps behind, heard the noise and walked into the room. He saw Gin looking at Brandy with a complicated expression.

After thinking for a few seconds, Champagne realized that Gin was looking at him as if he was a lunatic.

Regardless of being dressed like she was on a beach vacation, Brandy was holding a coconut in both hands with a startled expression.

Champagne took the opportunity to glance inside, and was immediately controlled by Taketori Kazuan's face for several seconds.

After walking up to take a closer look, he took a deep breath.

"Did the gentleman get infected too?"

It seems that he is still playing the trick of showing the deep affection between father and son.

Gin remembered the adjective that Whiskey used to describe him when he called him to inquire about the situation there.

"Three generations living together triggered by a one-night stand."

Champagne was silent for two seconds, and then a smile suddenly emerged in his eyes.

"Hahaha~"

Champagne held back his laughter with his tenacious willpower, but it was different for brandy. He laughed so hard that tears were about to come out.

Success, on its own, changed the style of the entire painting.

"Oh my god, I thought Gin was being chased by a psychopathic woman and her group of crazy admirers, sending roses with a hot air balloon and challenging him to a duel.

Champagne suddenly had an ex-wife who was 2.1 meters tall, and became the organization's number one scumbag who abandoned his wife and children.

Vermouth and Rum are already funny enough, but I didn’t expect there would be such a shocking one.

Are those people here to compete to see who's the funniest?

Hahaha…"

Brandy's laughter lingered in the quiet room.

Gin and Champagne didn't laugh, they just wanted to kill someone.

"Hiccup~"

Maybe it was because he laughed so hard that he almost choked, or maybe he felt the murderous intent that gin and champagne ignited towards him, but Brandy suddenly burped and then coughed again.

After finally calming down, Brandy received two murderous gazes and glimpsed the figures of Vermouth and Rum appearing at the door, so he quickly took a sip of fresh coconut juice.

Then he turned his head to look at Taketori and An, who had been silent for a long time and became a background board, and began to change the subject:

"Well... Gin, you said three generations live together, so what about the children of these two people? They won't be missed, right?"

Vermouth, who came in last, looked at Taketori He An and Taketori Hotaru, and her gaze fell on Taketori Hotaru, who had tears in his eyes and looked weak.

"It should be in her belly, not yet born."

As she spoke, she walked past Gin and Brandy and came to a place just one step away from Taketori He An and Taketori Ying.

After hearing this, both Taketori He An and Taketori Ying realized that what they encountered this time was not an ordinary kidnapping and extortion.

This is a carefully laid trap.

A trap specially prepared for them with the knowledge and consent of Karasuma Ren'ya, the target of this world's capture, the head of the Karasuma Group.

The two couldn't figure out where the problem lay, so they decided to ask the Rich Family Counterattack System No. 0663.

However, at this time, the wealthy counterattack system 0663 had no time to deal with them.

"Why did you choose Mr. Mister?"

After approaching, Vermouth looked at Taketori and An's faces carefully several times, with pity in her eyes.

Beneath pity is inextricable indifference.
