Ke Xue World: The Confrontation between Black and Red

Deep in the abyss where light cannot reach, a wave called eternal life gradually gathers with countless undercurrents.

Subsequently, countless things and their original trajectories began to undergo subtle changes that were imperceptible to most people.

But... there is never a shortage of smart people in this world.

The first person in the organization to discover the clues was Brandy.

His excellent talent and keen sense for numbers and finance enabled him to obtain the high position promised by Karasuma Renya himself at an age when he should have been young and frivolous.

And it was precisely for this reason that he was able to grasp a very deep thread hidden among the countless undercurrents, relying solely on the recent series of capital flow data in his hands.

From this, we can infer that the storm has not yet developed.

Before entering Brandy's office, Hennessy, who was inexplicably called over by a phone call, actually didn't take Brandy's sudden call seriously.

After all, in the last month of every year, Brandy, whose workload doubles, always does these little insignificant things.

Use the joy of tormenting him to relieve stress from work.

But this time, when he put on his usual bitter and resentful face, ready to face Brandy's trouble, he found that Brandy's expression was particularly serious.

Hennessy closed the office door and put away the bitter and resentful expression on his face. When he walked closer, he saw the documents in Brandy's hand.

"What's going on? Is someone down there being restless again?"

"No, something more terrible has happened."

Brandy's upper body was bathed in the sun and half of his body was leaning against the window. Outside the window were rows of high-rise buildings.

Brandy's current location is on the top floor of one of the best-located and most expensive buildings in this commercial district, where every inch of land is valuable.

The midday sun gently lingered on the young man's eyebrows, but it could not melt the coldness in his eyes.

Hennessy's heart tightened, and he quickly recalled the information he had received during this period and every project he had handled, his brows unconsciously furrowed tighter and tighter.

But I still didn't find anything wrong.

"Hennessy, things are going to change."

Hennessy subconsciously shrank his pupils. The word "change of situation" is full of ominous meaning whether it is used for the logistics team or the organization.

"Well, today's entertainment time ends here, you can continue to be busy."

Brandy clapped his hands lightly, shocking Hennessy back to his senses, and his tone suddenly became cheerful.

Hennessy was so angry at Brandy's familiar prank that veins popped out on his forehead, but other than that, he did nothing.

After a brief and unusually quiet silence, he withdrew his gaze from Brandy, turned and walked out of the office.

"Don't kill yourself."

The moment the office door opened and closed, a sound floated into Brandy's ears through the crack of the door.

The superficial ease on Brandy's face disappeared without a trace in an instant, and the paper, which was subjected to extra force, rolled onto the desk with deep wrinkles as Brandy raised his hand and threw it.

On a sunny afternoon, Champagne, who was working on the front line in a foreign country, received a call from Brandy.

Champagne looked at the incoming call number and then at the date in the corner of the computer.

There was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

That’s right, it’s December. Isn’t this the busiest time for the logistics team in previous years?

He called him at this time. Could it be that the research group's expenses this year were too high and the accounts were more than before, so he called to scold him?

With understanding for Brandy who was in a bad mood last time, Champagne answered the phone before it was hung up.

Then, he was so shocked by the first sentence Brandy threw at him that all his nerves immediately tensed up.

"Champagne, has the flower that sir wanted the most bloomed?"

Brandy didn't say it very directly, but Champagne understood it instantly.

Anyone who sits in their position must know the most mysterious man in the organization, the one who has been the subject of countless rumors.

He is the person in charge of the Karasuma Group who has been recuperating from illness in Japan for many years and has not appeared in public for a long time.

The undisputed richest man on the wealth list.

The original intention and only purpose of that gentleman to establish the organization was to use the power of the organization to break through the life taboos that are inherent in human beings.

On this basis, what the gentleman wanted most was a dream flower called immortality that had never existed in the world before.

Champagne did not answer this question, but at this moment, silence was already an answer that both of them knew.

Brandy exhaled lightly, his guess was silently verified, but basking in the sun, he only felt his whole body getting colder.

It was so cold that it felt like the coldest snowy night in winter, and even the blood in the body was frozen inch by inch.

What does eternal life mean?

That means a lot.

Brandy looked from the stack of documents that were in his hand just now to the stack of documents that were now lying on the desk. The lines of financial figures vaguely reflected the change in the wind direction.

It can be seen that those collaborators of the organization, who seemed to be firm supporters but actually had ambiguous attitudes, were gradually showing their sincerity to the organization.

And this is just the beginning.

The money and power that the world pursues have had a fatal nemesis from the very beginning.

That is death.

Even if you are rich and prosperous during your lifetime, it will all disappear after your death.

In this world, time can be said to be the only fair thing.

No matter how powerful or wealthy you are, you only have 24 hours a day, which is the same as the average person.

But now, this fairness has been broken.

At the end of a lifeline, whether long or short, what awaits some people is no longer death.

But it extends into an eternity of infinite length.

In the future, organizations holding "exclusive patents" may become the target of worldwide condemnation, or they may become an unshakable behemoth under the sun.

However, at this moment, what made Brandy feel cold in his heart was not the uncertain future, but... a person.

"Do you think Whiskey doesn't know about this?"

"Will he really do nothing?"

Brandy's two questions made Champagne on the other end of the phone take a deep breath.

Brandy can see the clues from the slightest clues. Unless the whiskey people are still in confinement, it is impossible that they know nothing about it until now.

Once the research team has completed all the tests, their gentleman will definitely be the first to enjoy the results.

If Whiskey knew about this, would he really let it happen without any objection?

Everyone knows that whiskey and rum have been enemies because of the destruction of his brother's ashes. They have been fighting openly and secretly for so many years, and the winner was finally decided last year.

But if we talk about enemies, let’s not talk about others, isn’t that gentleman one of them?

Although to some extent, the birth of whiskey can be said to be an inevitable event due to various reasons.

But isn’t the root of all this because the gentleman personally chose the whiskey?

Even though his background as the eldest son and grandson of the Sanada family and his own excellence meant that Whiskey's abilities would become increasingly outstanding as he aged, it was destined from the beginning that Whiskey would become more capable.

Kenjiro Sanada, who is from the same family but cannot get the support of the Sanada family's resources and connections even though his elder brother is disabled, will regard him as a thorn in his side.

Whiskey's background, ability, and temperament are destined to make him willing to reform but unable to make up his mind to completely eradicate Neon's rotten roots. Thinking of this, Hojo Lianzong, who formulated the Tianxi plan, listed him as a candidate for executor.

This will make Ichihara Yoshi, who is on the opposite side of the issue, feel a little fearful and try to suppress or eliminate him.

But if the master had not chosen him personally, even if Whiskey was caught off guard against Kenjiro Sanada, he would not have been defeated to the point where he was completely powerless to fight back.

With Whiskey's insight into human nature, even if he is an elder whom he respects and loves very much, when he sees the murderous intention emerging from the other person, will he really have no doubts and maintain trust?

If so, how come the Whiskey in the past records had such a cold relationship with his father that he was even worse than a stranger?

After his twin brother died, his attitude towards his grandfather who raised him completely changed.

If only she had not been betrayed by her closest and most trusted relatives, if only she had not been chosen by her husband, if only she had not been completely abandoned by the reformists.

The future of whiskey living in the sun should have unlimited possibilities.

Brilliant, gorgeous, plain...

With his character and abilities, no matter which future he chooses, he will live freely and wantonly.

Without those things, whiskey would never be what it is today.

Whiskey regards Rum, who destroyed his brother's ashes, as his hated enemy. Then, shouldn't the gentleman who destroyed his future life be an enemy he hates more than Rum?

But, as a man who knows everything, wouldn't you think of this?

Champagne, who had calmed down in an instant, didn't think the answer to this question would be no.

"Sir, you won't allow that."

In the past, the gentleman had indulged himself in whiskey, but there were always limits.

Whiskey has been trying to kill Rum for a long time, but now, even though Rum is no longer a core cadre, he is still struggling to survive.

Before enjoying the fruits of eternal life, that person would definitely eliminate all hidden dangers that could lead to failure, and whiskey would naturally be no exception.

Whether Whiskey intends to do it or not, has already taken action or is still in the process of preparing, that person will not ignore its existence.

"It doesn't matter if it's allowed or not. Sir, of course, I know it, but is Whiskey a very obedient person?"

Pretending to obey but actually disobeying, pretending to be cooperative, and secretly making plans behind the scenes, this is not the first time that Whiskey has done these things. Even though he will face punishment afterwards, he has always achieved his goals.

"Shouldn't you understand this?"

Brandy was confused.

He had suffered such a big setback at Whiskey's hands and almost lost his life, so why do you still think he is someone who can be controlled?

If it were really that simple, then those mysterious members of the organization who died silently, and Bossio who went crazy but still couldn't escape, could it be that they died because they felt that the world was not good enough?

"That may be true for other things, but this is different."

Unlike in the past, this time it was about the gentleman’s own safety and the realization of his wishes.

That person will do whatever it takes to eliminate all dangers and obstacles.

What Brandy thought was innocent was actually Champagne's too thorough understanding.

Champagne, who had climbed up step by step from the bottom, knew very well that in the eyes of that gentleman, everyone in the organization was like a replaceable tool.

They use wine as their code name, but in fact, there is no difference between them and the mass-produced bottles of wine in the wine cabinet.

As core cadres, they can probably be regarded as those luxury limited editions placed on the top layer of the wine cabinet, which are complex and exquisite in craftsmanship and expensive.

But no matter how expensive or limited the wine is, the owner of the wine cabinet can only sigh a few times when faced with the broken wine.

After all, it is just wine. It is neither scarce nor unique, and its value cannot be compared with the owner of the wine cabinet himself.

If there is anything that can be called an exception, it is only one whiskey that has been different from all of them since its birth and is now named Karasuma.

Therefore, whether it was the death of Bosio, the fall of Rum, or even the life he almost lost.

In fact, it can be seen as that gentleman's exceptional indulgence in whiskey.

Over the years, Whiskey seemed to have trampled on many of the organization's rules, but there were some things that he never crossed the line.

For example, Rum, who is still alive today, and for example, he has been wandering around for the past eleven years and has never set foot in Japan.

For example...the life he saved in the Yokohama Port explosion.

For a long time in the past, Champagne had a curious and exploratory attitude towards whisky.

I wonder why the gentleman would rely only on some literal information and his preliminary verification before he had fully confirmed that the things in the studio were made by Whiskey.

He was ordered to "bring the whiskey back to the organization."

I was curious about what kind of courage he had to endure the eight months of torture, chewing on the whiskey that he didn't understand mechanics.

Is it the love and reluctance to leave the mother, or the hatred towards the husband, the entire organization, and even the entire world and fate.

But ever since he was almost killed in a bomb at Yokohama Port and managed to escape death with great difficulty.

He then became curious about the three prohibitions that Rum had used Whiskey's brother's ashes to force Whiskey to agree to.

What exactly is it?

In other words, it overrides the third prohibition that prohibits killing several of their core cadres and cannot even involve indirect cause and effect.

What exactly is it?

"Don't forget, there are three more prohibitions on whiskey."

The profound meaning in Champagne's words was so vivid in the mind of Brandy on the other end of the line that he remembered it until the call was hung up.

He looked out the window, his thoughts continuing along this sentence.

At first he didn't know about the ban, but after a conversation with Champagne, he instantly understood what the conditions were for the deal that made Mr. make an exception, because Whiskey borrowed Rum's money to lose the arms.

After all, Whiskey, who had not set foot in Neon for the previous eleven years, appeared in Neon shortly afterwards as the heir of the Karasuma Group.

The related speculation about the second ban was also verified after Brandy learned that Champagne was found alive by the organization and saved his life.

If rum survives, it is because the gentleman needs such an existence that can attract enough hatred for whiskey and form a balance with it, so he has been partial to it in the past.

The biggest evidence is the champagne that disappeared in the Yokohama Port explosion but was found by the organization with a breath left.

With such serious injuries, the chance of dying is much greater than the chance of surviving.

With a survival probability of one in a thousand, could it be that Whiskey, who had calculated everything, suddenly lost his mind and forgot to send someone to finish him off?

Rather than believing that this one-in-a-million good thing happened to Champagne, Brandy believed that Champagne's lucky escape was due to the intervention of Whisky.

The reason behind this is his speculation about the ban.

But... just based on the third prohibition whose specific content is unknown, will Whiskey really be willing to live under the control of the gentleman for the rest of his life?

Brandy couldn't think of an answer.
