In the world of Detective Conan, the female characters are all acting strangely!

Page 596

If she doesn't argue back, wouldn't that be tantamount to admitting that she's a street thug?

"The organization is amazing!"

"It makes no difference to me."

Xia Ye certainly had the confidence to say such things.

Although his strength so far largely stems from his "297" Amazing Spider-Man identity from the beginning, Xia Ye is confident he can defeat Peter Parker even if he comes. As for organizations composed of ordinary people, they are truly not worth his attention.

Of course, even if Aoyama Gosho goes crazy after he transmigrates and forcibly turns "Detective Conan" from a mystery romance into some kind of fantasy, or sets Karasuma Renya up as a vampire lich or something, it doesn't matter. If he can't beat them, he can just ask the log for his identity—

The identities of paladins, sword immortals, and celestial masters are quite intriguing!

"Okay~"

Eri Kisaki smoothed things over, as she also wanted to know the outcome, after all, the other party was the big boss of a mysterious dark organization.

Without Vermouth and Xia Ye's relationship, she might never have come into contact with that kind of thing in her entire life, so she was somewhat curious:

"What exactly happened?"

"It went very smoothly—"

Xia Ye glanced at Vermouth and said:

"It went so smoothly that I almost thought it was a decision the BOSS had already made—well, that's quite possible. Karasuma Renya is clearly a cunning old fox; his intelligence shouldn't be underestimated."

"It's good that you know~"

Vermouth rolled her eyes at him:

"I thought you were so arrogant that you wouldn't even put someone like the BOSS, who has been scheming for half a century, in your eyes!"

"I didn't expect you to have some idea."

"but--"

"But what?"

"The organization's industries in the Tokyo area, even just those that are publicly known, amount to hundreds of billions, and they just handed them over to me like that—"

Vermouth smiled charmingly, her beautiful eyes sparkling:

Are you afraid I'll abscond with the money?

"What's there to be afraid of—"

Xia Ye raised an eyebrow and smiled, "Even if you run to the ends of the earth, Sister Bei, I'll bring you back. Not because of the money, but because you dared to run away from me. I'll definitely punish you properly then! How about a spanking?"

"Pfft——!"

Xiao Lan, who was watching the commotion, couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Vermouth—also known as Chris—is a cold and cool assassin from the Black Organization. It would be so much fun if Xia Ye pinned her down on his lap and spanked her!

I really want to see that scene with my own eyes!

"Let's talk about it after I run away~"

Vermouth wasn't going to blush like a little girl at Xia Ye's final teasing; she was much more sophisticated.

"You can bring me back with a collar then, it's up to you how you feel~"

"A collar..."

Xia Ye's eyes widened.

Damn, talking about this makes me wide awake!

It has to be Sister Bei; when she gets a fever, it's unbearable!

What were you fantasizing about?

Vermouth smiled enigmatically, her eyes gleaming with a captivating allure.

"Some of these are not suitable for children!"

Xia Ye glanced at Xiao Lan subconsciously.

Xiao Lan, who was inexplicably brought up by Xia Ye, jumped up like a kitten with its fur standing on end, pouting and huffing:

"What are you looking at me for?"

"Haven't you done enough inappropriate things to me?"

"Now you're saying it's unsuitable for children?"

"It's just a restraint play, I understand!"

"You know this too?!"

Vermouth, Natsume, and Eri all exclaimed in surprise.

Even if Xiaolan isn't as innocent as she used to be, she still knows that this kind of wicked play is a bit outrageous. Who did she learn it from?

"Yukiko-neechan!"

"Oh, it's okay then!"

The expected name made the three realize that they had almost forgotten that Ran had a close relationship with Yukiko, the source of all evil, and must have learned a lot of heretical knowledge from her!

"That Yukiko!"

As a parent, Eri Kisaki bit her lip in resentment.

You could say you're teaching Xiaolan some basic things about men and women, but that's fine, since Xiaolan is already dating Xia Ye, that's a fact.

But don't teach just any random stuff! Look at how bad Xiaolan has become!

"Look how I deal with her!"

Xia Ye didn't interrupt. Yukiko and Eri had been in a love-hate relationship for twenty years since their teenage years. Their bickering was commonplace. Let them be!

not to mention--

He was still thinking about what Vermouth had said earlier.

Today it is today.

There are several different decks of cards for playing poker.

Like Eri and Ran.

Tomoko, Ayako, Sonoko.

Xiaolan, Yuanzi, and Ye.

These are all top-notch combinations that are incredibly enjoyable.

However, we still need to continue expanding our deck.

A best friend combination like Vermouth and Yukiko, or Yukiko and Eri Kisaki, or Miwako and Yumi, would all be great choices.

Damn it, the more I think about it, the more excited I get!

Vermouth knew exactly what Natsume was thinking without even guessing, but since she had already decided to join the game, she would follow the rules. At least, she had no objections whether she was with Yukiko, Eri, or Ran.

With her mental maturity, adapting to all of this is all too easy for her!

"Xia Ye, will you come with me tomorrow?"

"tomorrow?"

Xia Ye knew that Sister Bei was referring to taking over those businesses, but—

"I'm going to work on a case with Eri tomorrow!"

"That's it~"

Vermouth nodded, just about to suggest another time.

Eri Kisaki said, "Why don't you go with Chris, Natsume? I can handle that case by myself!"

Actually, no matter what the case is, making a wish in the diary can completely solve it. However, Eri Kisaki is different from Kazuha. She has never wanted to rely on the diary. It's not that she's afraid of being influenced by the diary, but that she doesn't want to become someone who only relies on the diary!

In that case—

It would make her feel like her twenty years of studying law were a joke!

but--

It's okay if it happens once in a while.

"No~"

Xia Ye and Vermouth both refused.

Vermouth glanced at Natsume, then at Eri, and smiled gently, "Actually, taking over those companies isn't a big deal. Since Natsume has already agreed, I can't just 'interfere'~"

"It's really nothing serious."

Xia Ye took Fei Yingli's small hand and explained with a smile:

"When I took over, I hadn't personally met any of those in charge. I contacted them all through internal emails and phone calls. After all, those companies had always operated independently and paid their fees on time—"

"So, you can go receive it anytime~"

"That's right!"

Vermouth also confirmed that this was the case!

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore—"

Vermouth changed the subject, talking to Eri and Ran about women's topics—clothes, bags, cosmetics, and the like.

Xia Ye sat between them.

I heard voices that were charming, dignified, or clear and crisp.

He would occasionally chime in with a sarcastic remark, eliciting either coquettish or indulgent glances from the three beautiful women beside him, creating a harmonious atmosphere in the air.

until--

It is reported that the Tokyo National Museum will soon be exhibiting nearly forty national treasures in its Oriental Gallery, including—

Xia Ye frowned.

Ran, who had been holding Natsume's hand and resting her head on Natsume's shoulder while chatting with her mother and Vermouth, immediately noticed Natsume's unusual behavior.

His body tensed up for a moment.

Looking again at the news report on TV, Xiaolan tightened her grip on Xia Ye's hand and whispered:

"Xia Ye, are you alright?"

Eri Kisaki and Vermouth were also somewhat concerned.

Everyone knows that Xia Ye was originally from China before he transmigrated. Seeing this news must have been a mixed feeling for him. After all, based on everyone's observations, even though he is now a Japanese, he still absolutely identifies with his Chinese identity and doesn't have much affection for Japan.

All the goodwill I had was given to everyone.

"Something came up..."

Xia Ye stared at the Tokyo National Museum on TV, her eyes sharp, but a faint smile on her face: "I've taken a liking to these artifacts. You all know I really like Chinese culture. Anyway, these artifacts were looted, so it's reasonable for me to loot them again, right?"

"Yeah, that makes sense!"

Vermouth nodded as a matter of course.

In her mind, let alone Xia Ye just wanting these cultural relics, even if she wanted to get a batch of bombs to blow up this largest museum in Japan, she would not hesitate to provide the bombs—compared to Xia Ye, Japan is nothing!

As for Eri and Ran—

Although the two weren't as indifferent to Japan as Vermouth, since they were both Japanese, as Xia Ye said, those artifacts were stolen anyway—

Anyway.

The mother and daughter convinced themselves.

Xiaolan asked with some curiosity:

"What are you planning to do? You're not really thinking of just storming into the Tokyo National Museum and stealing things, are you?"

If they really try to steal it by force, Xia Ye will definitely have to use his Spider-Man identity, and then he'll be exposed!

"Of course we can't just rob it—"

Xia Ye gently flicked Xiao Lan's forehead, then stroked his chin and pondered, "How about I try a phantom thief style too? Disguise myself as Kid—"
