Chapter 118 The Storm Is Brewing
Vodka suppressed his excitement and replied calmly, trying to control his emotions.
"Caesar said he went to get TNT bombs, and he took more than a thousand kilograms of TNT from the organization." Anyway, Bourbon didn't know the exact amount. Those numbers weren't something he could just say; it wouldn't matter if he overstated them.
So the person Caesar made him wait for was Bourbon? Could it be that there's something wrong with Bourbon?
Upon hearing this, Bourbon's eyes sharpened instantly, and he demanded, "Over a thousand kilograms? What does he need so much TNT for?"
Vodka was startled, but feigned composure. "I don't know. He only said he had a big plan, but he didn't tell me what it was."
Bourbon wasn't in the mood to think about his attitude anymore; the most important thing now was what to do with the 1000-plus kilograms of TNT Caesar.
At this moment, doubts arose in his mind. Caesar had always acted in secrecy, and the fact that so many explosives were being used this time was certainly not a simple operation.
He decided to get some more information out of vodka.
He raised his glass, smiling, and said, "Cheers."
After clinking glasses with him, Vodka drank another glass of vodka, and now his stomach was a little bloated.
“I saw on the news today that the Yasukuni Shrine was bombed by an Osprey helicopter again. Could that have been Caesar’s doing again?” Bourbon probed again.
Vodka nodded confidently and laughed, "There's no need to even think about it. It must have been Caesar who did it. Otherwise, why would he need so much TNT? Only he would be so audacious!"
Ha ha.
If Su Xingbo knew, he would just chuckle.
Young man, you're still too young. Soon you'll see Gin flying a helicopter and strafing Tokyo Tower.
Hopefully, you'll be able to say your older brother is reckless and audacious when the time comes.
Bourbon asked again, "Where is Caesar now? Does he need our help?"
Vodka shook his head: "Caesar is used to working alone, he doesn't need our help."
When Bourbon saw that he did not answer the question about where Caesar was, he asked again, not giving up.
"Where is Caesar now? His safety is of utmost importance. Shall we go and protect him?"
Vodka saw through his little scheme at a glance, but he didn't expose it immediately. He just said calmly.
"Don't worry, no one can guess where he is now. We can't find him, let alone those useless cops like the police. It's impossible."
Bourbon's face darkened upon hearing this, turning as dark as it could possibly be, though Vodka couldn't tell the change in his expression, since Bourbon's face was naturally dark.
Bourbon then left, realizing that staying there would be a waste of time since he couldn't get any information.
There wasn't much time left until the time mentioned in the announcement, and he needed to go to the site to check on the situation.
After Bourbon left.
Vodka immediately contacted Su Xingbo: "Caesar, Bourbon has been trying to find out about you. I told him everything you told me beforehand."
Su Xingbo's lazy voice came from the other end of the phone. "Hmph, let him be, he won't find anything out." He then hung up the phone.
Bourbon arrived at the location mentioned in the advance notice—the ruins of the Yasukuni Shrine!
The surroundings seemed calm, but Bourbon could feel a sense of oppressive tension, as if a storm was brewing.
At this moment, he noticed several suspicious figures loitering around nearby. Based on his years of experience, he judged that these people were definitely suspicious and might even be spies that Su Xingbai had arranged in advance.
He immediately ordered Kazami Yuya to lead his men to arrest all the suspicious individuals.
Upon questioning, it turned out they were all street thugs who came here simply to see what was going on, take some photos, and send them to the TV station to make a fortune.
Helpless, Bourbon could only release all these people while continuing to send people to keep watch on every move in the surrounding area.
As time slowly passed.
The sun slowly rose from the east, and the moon quietly departed.
The sunlight shone on the resolute faces of the group, making them appear exceptionally radiant.
"Mr. Furuya, the time is getting closer and closer, why haven't we found that person yet?" Kazami Yuya couldn't help but ask.
Rei Furuya glanced at him and coldly replied, "What's the rush? The time isn't up yet." In truth, he was even more anxious than Yuya Kazami at this moment. He didn't even dare to imagine the power of the explosion of over a thousand kilograms of TNT. How many innocent citizens and buildings would be mercilessly destroyed?
"........."
Time flew by as everyone waited.
Anxiety was written on everyone's face. There were only five minutes left until the scheduled time, and there was still no sign of that person.
As time passed, everyone's faces began to grow numb.
Three hours had passed since the scheduled time.
"Everyone, contact the local police immediately to see if there has been any major explosion."
"Yes, sir!"
Every police officer went to make phone calls, and everyone came back to report that they had found nothing.
At this moment, Su Xingbai was wearing an eye mask in the first class cabin of the plane and happily drifted off to sleep.
"Where could it be? Where could it be?!" Rei Furuya paced back and forth.
At this moment, Kazami Yuya couldn't help but mutter, "Could he be deliberately messing with us? He already bombed the Yasukuni Shrine once, turning it into ruins. How could he possibly come back a second time?"
"Impossible!" Furuya Rei roared, "Caesar is ruthless and domineering. He never considers the consequences of his actions. He took more than 1000 kilograms of TNT!"
"What?!"
Everyone was shocked by this astonishing number; more than 1000 kilograms was simply too much.
"So what should we do now? Should we continue the search?"
Bourbon firmly declared, "The search must continue. Kazami Yuya, you contact the investigation department right now and get them involved in this operation. Tell them about the places our people haven't been and have them keep watch there."
"understand!"
"By the way, don't tell them the exact amount of TNT, but do tell them that there is TNT, and make sure they pay attention to their own safety," Bourbon instructed.
He's still an undercover agent within the Black Organization, and he doesn't want to be exposed like this.
