Being in Detective Conan, being officially part of the organization is just too awesome!

"I don't think you can stop me."

Shuichi Akai's expression remained unchanged, and although his voice was calm, it revealed a sense of confidence.

It was as if what he said was indeed true.

Tequila curled its lip in annoyance. Did this guy really think it was impossible for it to stop him?

Well, it seems we really can't stop it...

But it's okay, I have help!

Cherry just messaged him to go in, so that kid must be nearby right now.

Cherry is Vodka's self-proclaimed superhero, so there shouldn't be any problem...

Whether we can stop them or not, we'll have to try!

With a loud shout, Tequila ripped off his thick coat and threw it to the ground.

Then, gathering all his strength, he charged towards Shuichi Akai.

Upon seeing this, Shuichi Akai and Jodie immediately started fighting with Tequila.

Snap snap snap—Snap snap snap—

The three engaged in constant close-quarters combat, with Tequila holding her own against Shuichi Akai and Jodie, a man and a woman.

This claw aimed for Jodie's chest; this punch aimed for Shuichi Akai's face...

Although the three fought fiercely, they were all deeply distressed inside.

Those in the Tequila family know their own situation; he couldn't even handle Shuichi Akai alone, let alone with one more.

The reason we've been able to hold out until now without falling behind is because our opponents have lost the will to fight.

Akai Shuichi appeared calm on the surface, but was inwardly very agitated.

Judging from the other party's appearance, it's clear they have backup. Even if Judy and I win a fight against this guy, we won't gain anything and would likely get surrounded...

It's a pity I didn't bring a gun with me, otherwise...

Just as the three were locked in fierce combat, a slender, pale hand suddenly appeared in the fray...

This palm strike was silent and seemingly effortless, yet it sent Shuichi Akai flying backward in an instant...

"Shuichi!"

Judy suddenly turned around, shouted worriedly, and retreated several steps.

She went to the wall and helped Shuichi Akai up.

"Cough cough—cough cough cough—"

Shuichi Akai coughed repeatedly, clearly having been hit quite hard.

He stared in horror at the strange man who had suddenly appeared in the distance.

Dressed in black, with a cold and expressionless European face...

who is he!

"Cherry."

Jodie whispered a gasp in Shuichi Akai's ear.

"He's the Cherry I met at the arcade before!"

It turned out to be him!

Shuichi Akai's pupils contracted instantly.

He had been speculating before whether this person was a new member or a deeper-hidden organization leader.

Now it seems clear that the other party is the latter.

The FBI had barely arrived when the other side showed up; their intentions were obvious.

This Cherry came for him!

Shuichi Akai was unsure whether to feel joy or sorrow.

The fact that the organization values ​​him so highly already demonstrates Shuichi Akai's strength, but the people who came to deal with him this time are far too strong.

That palm strike just now...

Shuichi Akai looked at his arms.

Even though I tried my best to replay the video, I still felt excruciating pain, as if my hands no longer belonged to me.

Just one palm strike was enough to render him incapable of fighting...

The situation is very critical...

Even Shuichi Akai couldn't help but show a hint of dejection in his eyes.

I was just going out for a ride on the bus with my ex-girlfriend to see if we could recycle anything.

As a result, he first encountered the clown robbers and Tequila, then was ambushed by members of the organization, including a super-skilled fighter who defeated him with a single move...

This is a difficult situation...

"Long respected name, Rye."

Lin Jiayou spoke expressionlessly, his emotionless eyes fixed on Akai Shuichi, and said calmly,

"Tequila can't stop you, but I wonder if I can."

“Cough cough cough…”

Shuichi Akai coughed incessantly and did not reply.

His biggest regret now is not bringing his gun with him today; otherwise, he might have had a fighting chance...

Perhaps the heavens heard Shuichi Akai's prayers, for a white Mazda and a black Honda sedan sped out of the alleyway.

"Mr. Akai!"

In the Mazda, a burly man who looked almost as small as a tequila shouted at Shuichi Akai.

Shuichi Akai was slightly taken aback, while Jodie was immediately delighted.

"It's Carmel!"

"He brought the other agents with him!"

Shuichi Akai did not speak.

Although the arrival of Carmel and his group gave him some hope, he still felt...

Cameron in the Mazda yelled at the Honda next to him.

"Fire!"

Inside the Honda sedan, upon hearing the commotion, the FBI agents immediately drew their handguns and opened fire on Tequila and Lin Jiayou.

"Damn it!"

Tequila cursed under his breath and quickly moved to a nearby spot with cover.

He's not Cherry. Although he can barely dodge pistol bullets if he concentrates, he's considered a master of pistols.

However, the other side were elite FBI agents, each with considerable shooting skills and excellent teamwork. Given his massive size, a single volley of fire would likely riddle him with bullets.

hateful!

Tequila secretly regretted not bringing any equipment; otherwise, these guys wouldn't have been so brazen.

He turned his gaze to Lin Jiayou, wondering if Cherry had any way to keep Akai Shuichi with him.

But what I saw was...

Lin Jiayou strolled through the hail of bullets as if taking a leisurely walk, and not a single bullet managed to hit him...

"How...how is this possible...?"

Judy stared wide-eyed at the person 'strolling' there in disbelief.

In the Mazda, Cameron, who was also firing a gun, gaped open.

"This...this guy...could he be Superman...?"

Shuichi Akai was equally shocked, but managed to remain calm.

He quickly gave Judy a low shout.

"Stop spacing out, let's go!"

Judy snapped out of her daze, nodded repeatedly, and helped Shuichi Akai walk quickly towards Cameron's car.

Lin Jiayou glanced at them, casually tossed the two pistols he was carrying toward the direction of the tequila, ignored the bullets being fired at him, and flashed off toward Akai Shuichi.

In his mind, Conan is the only one he can't kill for the time being.

Everyone else, like Shuichi Akai, Tooru Amuro, and Jodie, can be dealt with.

Even if they are gone, other intelligence elites will fill in; it's just that you'll miss out on the fun of seeing familiar faces.

Thinking it over, he flashed to the side of Shuichi Akai and the other two, and still lightly struck out with a palm.

"Shuichi!"

When Judy saw Lin Jiayou approaching aggressively, she immediately closed her eyes, intending to sacrifice herself for Akai Shuichi.

She leaned forward and forcefully shoved Akai Shuichi inside, then, like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, she met Lin Jiayou's palm with one arm.

boom--

Judy's arm shattered as if it were made of porcelain.

Shuichi Akai was deeply moved, a resolute glint in his eyes. Ignoring his own injuries, he stepped forward again to shield Jodie from the fatal blow.

puff--

He suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, his vision blurred, and he almost couldn't stand up.

"Mr. Akai!"

Carmel's eyes were bloodshot.

Seeing this, the FBI agents were also moved and decided to step forward to cover Shuichi Akai's escape.

Tequila, standing nearby, was no pushover either. He fired two pistols incessantly, trying to block their path.

Unfortunately, only one or two of the five agents could get through.

Thanks to the efforts of the FBI agents and Carmel, Shuichi Akai and Jodie managed to leave in Carmel's car.

"Damn, what a pity!"

Tequila spat out a mouthful of spittle and said unhappily,

"If I had a good weapon, Shuichi Akai would be dead long ago."

"It's ok."

Lin Jiayou maintained the same indifferent expression, as if he hadn't done anything.

"Shuichi Akai won't live much longer."
