Chapter 269 "Women often use kisses to express their feelings"
Another day repeats itself, with only the counter on the wall, symbolizing the date, turning to the next page.
Inside a temperature-controlled laboratory, a blonde, blue-eyed woman sits on a medical bed.
Her expression was always so cold and sharp; only when her eyes occasionally shifted while she was reading could one glimpse the fluctuations in her outward thoughts.
The plain white lab coat was made of polyester and high-count cotton, and was exceptionally thin. It contained no metals or harmful substances that could be further processed into simple weapons. After the last escape incident, items such as zippers, belts, and buttons were prohibited from being provided to the subject.
With each turn of the page, the playful spiral curl on her forehead would bounce slightly, and the unusual lower eyelashes and eyeliner under her eyes outlined a sharp gaze. Combined with her mixed-race features, she looked from afar like a frail woman who was imprisoned.
Mary Akai listened intently, putting down the children's picture book she was reading until the edges were curled—she heard the sound of the first isolation door on the outside opening.
Sure enough, after silently counting to 10, the second isolation door of the laboratory was opened.
call out!
The glued and polished paper blade vertically divides the eyeball into two halves, which are held between two fingers before being pierced.
Kuromon Haruya calmly released her grip, and the piece of paper fell to the ground with a thud: "Long time no see. I'm relieved to see you still looking so energetic, my dear Holy Mary~"
"Tch!" Akai Mary looked at the despicable man before her, a surge of resentment rising within her, only to be replaced by a sigh of relief. At least he wasn't using another name...
Her face was cold, just like her countless previous rejections: "Give up, I will never help you lure Wu Wu out. Kill me or do whatever you want, I believe Wu Wu will stand firm on his principles!"
"Ah."
Kuromon Haruya chuckled softly, walked to the bedside, pinched Akai Mary's chin, and scrutinized the similar yet unpleasant face: "Then perhaps what I bring this time is good news. As you expected, the operation plan to lure Akai Tsutomu to the surface has been abandoned."
Mary Akai was momentarily stunned, her mind racing:
"The fact that the organization spent three years having the Thousand-Faced Witch dive down to lure out Wuwu shows how important he is. If he has already been captured, the organization will definitely use him as a bargaining chip rather than revealing the battle plan."
The only reason a plan might be abandoned is if its success is deemed unlikely or if a more important objective has been deviated from the plan… 'Hmm!'
A crushing pain shot through her jaw, instantly shattering her complex thoughts.
"You've been thinking for too long, snap out of it."
Kuromon Haruya withdrew his hand, showing little expectation for the information he had gleaned. Three years ago, he had already drained Akai Mary dry: "Don't be nervous."
Yoya Kuromon: "I'm not here today as the leader of an opposing organization or as a researcher. You can think of me as an innocent parent seeking justice for a junior."
"Innocent?" Mary Akai sneered, wincing in pain.
"What's so funny?"
“It’s funny enough to hear that you’re even remotely innocent.” Mary Akai grinned sarcastically. “Seeking justice? Your descendants, raised with blood-stained money, deserve to suffer misfortune. The thought of someone like you getting your comeuppance keeps me up at night with glee.”
“Oh~ Since that’s what you think…” Kuromon Haruya’s smile remained unchanged as she turned to look behind the door: “That’s what she said, Akemi.”
The security door opened, and Akemi Kurogami, dressed in a jet-black lace dress, approached Haruya Kuromon under Mary's complicated and conflicted gaze. She lifted her skirt and bowed, saying, "Good afternoon, boss."
“Akimi…” Akai Mary bit her lower lip, unable to speak.
Kuromon Haruya sat on the other side of the bed, patted his thigh, and Kuromiya Akemi immediately obediently moved closer and sat down on his lap:
"Today, I'll be here as this child's elder. Mingmei, this is your Aunt Mary. Would you like to hear her story?"
Akemi Miyano pursed her lips: "If you'd like, boss."
"of course."
Haruya Kuromon smiled with satisfaction, his cold, sharp gaze piercing through Akai Mary's eyes and striking her heart directly:
"Akai Mary, formerly known as Sera Mary, is of British and Japanese descent. She is the older sister of Miyano Elena, and the two sisters together form a key link between the 'Akai family' and the 'Miyano family'."
She and her husband, Tsutomu Akai, were both MI6 agents. They had two sons and one daughter: their eldest son, Shuichi Akai; their second son, Hideyoshi Akai; and their youngest daughter, Masumi Sera. Their youngest son was sent to the Haneda family, who had connections with Tsutomu, to be adopted and renamed Hideyoshi Haneda.
He was captured by the organization three and a half years ago, survived after being given drug A, and was therefore preserved as a special experimental case.
"Akai...Shuichi?"
Akemi Miyano's previously dull sapphire blue eyes instantly brightened: "You are the mother of Dai-kun and Shuichi Akai, but you are also my mother's sister, which means that he and I are actually...cousins?"
Kuromon Haruya nodded: "At the same time, you are also a couple on the run."
Does the Lord know about this? Miyano Akemi wanted to ask, but the person in question wasn't around.
She slowly fixed her gaze on Akai Mary's guilty but not shocking expression, and then she got the answer: if the lord's mother knew, then the lord might know too.
In an instant, the memories that were once called sweet collapsed, revealing a dirty and terrifying interior.
From being "accidentally" scammed, to falling for the other person's good looks and sweet words, exchanging gifts on Valentine's Day, their relationship deepening, then being introduced to a codenamed member of the organization, getting in touch with the sister who was doing core work, and even sending an email to the other person before dying...
Everything, everything, was a lie concocted by this mother and son!! Love was fake! Unwavering devotion was fake! Vows were fake!
"It's true that I'm the only one who, like a clown, violated ethics and was used as a stepping stone by you."
Mary Akai met her dark eyes, and her heart tightened: "No, Shuichi doesn't know about your relationship..."
“But you know, don’t you?” Kuromon Haruya held Akemi in his arms, stroking her as he wore a malicious smile that Akemi couldn’t see. “As the one who brought this relationship together, don’t you know it perfectly well?”
“When Akemi was first targeted, I was quite confused. The Miyano sisters have the highest level of secrecy in the organization. Undercover agents can't even get close to the iron fence outside the research room, so how could they know about Sherry, let alone that Sherry had contact with an ordinary peripheral member?”
So during that time I did some investigation and, after confirming that the internal traitor had not been exposed to this, I found the answer—years ago, when an MI6 agent went to the FBI in the United States for help, she inadvertently saw a mixed-race Asian girl who looked similar to her at a university.
Realizing that her sister's child was working for the organization, the agent quickly realized the situation and, on a whim, successfully located the older sister in Tokyo.
"Thus, a ruthless yet hypocritical plan was formed. By using his nieces to pave the way for his son, if all went well, not only could his son's resume be enhanced, but his nieces could also be rescued."
Pop, pop, pop.
Kuromon Haruya stood up and clapped his hands. The crisp sound of his clapping echoed in the laboratory, sounding particularly jarring: "What a brilliant decision!"
"Your only mistake was that your son planned to use a honey trap to infiltrate the area, but the infiltration failed. You didn't want the scandal to be exposed, so you didn't specifically ask your old friend to rescue this 'pawn'... It's a pity she's still alive."
Having her thoughts accurately and objectively stated, Akai Mary turned her head away, about to look away, when Kuromon Haruya grabbed her chin and forced her back to face him.
"What's wrong? The secret agent code didn't teach you how to answer a lie like that, did it?"
Kuromon Haruya pressed his thumb against her lips, rubbing it roughly. Her chapped lips split open, and blood seeped out, becoming even redder and more moist due to the increased blood flow.
Staring intently at her lips, Kuromon Haruya, left hand in his pocket, leaned closer, a surge of curiosity welling up inside him: 'Are those lips really that alluring? What is it about them that Vermouth is so eager to kiss...?'
As Akai Mary watched the face approaching, alarm bells rang: !!!
But just as he was about to get close, the man immediately pulled away and stuffed something from his left pocket into Akemi Kurogami's hand: "Go, treat her well as I told you."
Akemi Kurogami's fingers tightened slightly, the sharp edge of the pill digging into her flesh. She didn't answer, but silently turned and walked towards Mary Akai.
One step, two steps.
When the distance closed to the point where they could hear each other's breaths, she suddenly raised her hand and grabbed Mary's nape, leaning down in the other's astonished gaze—in an instant, their lips met, and the bitter taste of the APTX4869 coat filled their mouths.
