Refuse to allow Conan to join the main storyline

Just when Koizumi was beginning to doubt his life because of Rum's fantastic analysis, Rum suddenly turned his head and looked at the silhouette on the monitor.

“The above is my analysis of TSE, a security company, and my prediction of its potential.

"Given the special nature of this company and its importance to the organization, I strongly suggest that TSE be formally incorporated into the organization's overall planning in Tokyo, and that this company officially become the blood delivery station and umbrella for the organization's 37 large and small companies."

Rum turned his head and looked at Emmanuel with a threatening look.

"Then, given that TSE has signed a cooperation agreement with the U.S. Consulate, and I will soon run for the position of Tokyo mayor on behalf of the organization, in order to ensure that the campaign can proceed smoothly, I suggest that TSE be placed under my name for unified management."

Koizumi: ...

Just as she thought, in order to seize power, the stingy Rum started to spend money.

Rum was well aware that the Karasuma family lacked control in Neon Japan.

Exchanging interests in this way, Karasuma Renya basically had no way of refusing his request.

It must be said that Rum's style of doing things is indeed quite bold.

After she pointed out that he was hiding his private property, he immediately and decisively transferred his property, confiscated his private property, and used this to gain Karasuma Renya's trust in him.

You know, the Karasuma family does not have any significant power in Japan, and the generous gift from Rum should be exactly what that gentleman wants.

But, is this enough?

Rum, do you think this is enough? Do you think I will let you achieve your goal easily?

Koizumi raised his lips and said in a relaxed tone: "37 companies? Aren't there 105 companies? Why only 37 companies? You are such a stingy person."

Rum was shocked.

How did Melo know the number 105?

This was clearly the result of his inventory and settlement last year. How did Melo know about it?

Oh, by the way, during that interrogation, Mello was sent by Gin and the others to conduct the investigation, and he was disguised as the son of the president of Shimizu Technology.

Could it be that she stole the information that time?

Calm down, now is not the time to get angry.

There are only 105 companies, but he has other cards up his sleeve.

Rum bit his back teeth and said stubbornly, "Where did you get this unrealistic information? This number is not accurate."

Koizumi looked up at the ceiling and thought for a while, then pretended to be a little uncertain and asked, "Sister Mingmei, am I remembering it wrong?"

Miyano Akemi, like a perfect secretary always on call, took a step forward with an upright posture and answered clearly.

"You are not mistaken, Boss. There are indeed 105 companies in total, including 23 large companies and 37 medium-sized ones..."

"All right!"

Rum shouted loudly, interrupting Miyano Akemi's report, and said through gritted teeth: "I remembered it wrong. I originally remembered 106 companies, but just now I remembered that Shimizu Technology has been removed from the list. It is indeed 105 companies!"

Koizumi curled his lips.

Mentioning Qingshui Technology at this time, are you threatening me?

Does that mean if I mess up again, I'll end up like Qingshui Technology?

Hey, unfortunately, I don’t buy it!

Koizumi sneered, stared at Rum and continued slowly: "Actually there are more than that, right? Sister Mingmei, if I remember correctly, there are three more..."

Rum interrupted her hastily and said, "There are three more chaebols."

Where on earth did this little bastard Mello get such detailed information?

After the investigation, he personally sent all the information to the private safe of Mihua Bank and hid it.

...Wait, isn't this one of the business scopes of Melo's security company?

Could it be that the company is still secretly stealing intelligence?

Tsk, I didn’t notice it before, I was careless!

Now, in front of that gentleman, if I accuse him of hiding something, wouldn't that be equivalent to handing him an excuse to punish himself?

No, no, no, this is the only thing that is absolutely not allowed!

You can earn money again, but if you lose your life...

An idea suddenly occurred to Rum.

...Mello, that little bastard, is relying on the life I once gave him to threaten him!

What she meant was that if he didn't satisfy her, she would kill him!

In order to prevent Melo from having more detailed information, Rum had to continue to complete the property statement.

Now that his wealth has been exposed to this extent, there is no point in hiding the rest.

"In addition, there are four overseas bank accounts, three private equity funds and..."

Koizumi said nothing more.

The information she obtained was limited to three chaebols and 3 large and small companies.

Rum was probably frightened by her constant exposure of his cards, and fearing that she would reveal his secrets in front of that gentleman again, he simply revealed his own family background.

As for where she got the information from...

Koizumi stared at Pisco, who had been sitting silently next to Rum.

This cunning old fellow also showed a surprised expression, obviously unaware of the new content that was revealed later about Rum.

Haha, they want to reap the benefits but don’t want to be the first to take action. They all want to use me as a gun.

How can it be so easy? Do you really think I'm a good person?

Koizumi turned his head to look at Miyano Akemi, and saw that her dedicated financial manager was writing furiously with a small notebook and a calculator. It was obvious that she had not only recorded all the assets reported by Rum, but also made an immediate valuation.

Wow, this brain is comparable to that of a computer, so cool.

Koizumi also took a glance at the red team's expression.

Including Taro Yamada, Hagiwara and Matsuda, they all looked shocked and stunned, and their expressions looked very funny.

It was not convenient for her to observe Morobushi and Fūya, but she probably thought they would have similar expressions.

Koizumi interpreted their expressions as: If one Rum has so much wealth hidden in him, how much wealth would the entire organization have?

In the entire Nakadashi, as the final boss, Karasuma Renya is set to be a wealthy man from the last century.

Suzuki Sonoko's family is already very rich, but there is still a big gap compared to Karasuma Renya's level. This is a level of wealth that has exceeded Koizumi's imagination.

Think about the entire Dusk Villa made of gold in the original work. It was just a mountain villa of the Karasuma family.

...Wait, a mountain villa?

...Where is the Twilight Villa?

...Tottori?

...Gin once asked her if she wanted to travel to Tottori!

...I c!

Rum was forced to expose most of his assets in one go.

Although he still kept some things in secret and left himself some very secret private property, he was really badly damaged and didn't have much wealth left.

At this time, Rum's face was pale and he could hardly sit still.

Since this situation is doomed to failure, he must get the TSE company no matter what!

As long as he can become the mayor of Tokyo, he can earn all these back in a few years!

Rum was about to make his final statement to the gentleman, threatening Karasuma Renye to cooperate with his actions and force Mello to hand over the ownership of TSE, when he heard Mello suddenly say softly: "Thanks, Pisco."

Rum was stunned.

Shepisco?

What's the deal with pisco in this?

He turned around in surprise and saw that Kenzo Masuyama, who had been sitting silently beside him and had no sense of existence, suddenly showed a panic expression.

"Hey, Mello, what are you talking about? Don't involve an old man like me in what's going on between you and Rum."

"Eh~"

Koizumi crossed his legs, propped his cheek with one hand, and said in a long tone: "You clearly said it yourself, if Rum stepped down, it would be over, and you would inherit his position and become the top leader in Tokyo. Isn't it?"

Rum felt dizzy.

"Pisco, you betrayed me!"

Kenzo Masuyama's two graying mustaches were shaking. He waved his hands tremblingly and shouted in horror, "No, no! Absolutely not! It's Mello trying to sow discord! We've worked together for so many years and you still don't believe me?"

It’s because we’ve worked together for so many years that I believe you can do something like this!

"traitor!"

Rum roared angrily and shot Kenzo Masuyama.

When Kenzo Masuyama noticed something unusual, he had already hidden behind a seat. While dodging Rum's shot, he also drew his own gun and waited for an opportunity to fire back. His movements were so agile that he didn't look like a man who was almost seventy years old.

Rum was about to fire another shot when he heard the gentleman's voice coming from the loudspeaker.

"Okay."

As soon as the gentleman spoke, Rum had to stop.

He panted and sat back in his seat.

Kenzo Masuyama waited vigilantly for Rum to sit down, then stood up from behind the chair. His sharp eyes instantly returned to their original harmless state.

He dragged his chair over to sit next to Koizumi, complaining with a distressed look on his face: "Hey, you promised not to betray me?"

"The one who negotiated with you was Sister Mingmei. Does it have anything to do with me?"

"...Young man, you must be honest and trustworthy in your work, otherwise you will have no business in the future."

"Who wants to do this kind of business with you? And I see you're having a lot of fun."

"I'm an old man, I don't have the energy of you young people. It was really painful to be hit by this sudden attack. I almost sprained my waist."

"Oh, what a pity." Koizumi had a smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, "Why didn't I beat you to death?"

"Oh, you little guy, what good will it do you if I die?"

The lively chatter between the two people over there pierced into Rum's ears like a devilish sound.

This was really unexpected. He thought he was fully prepared, but things turned out to be like this!

In that case, he must take over Melo's security company no matter what!
