Chapter 159 Light Knight and Dark Knight

Chapter 160: Light Knight and Dark Knight

The next day, Saturday. Conan went to Dr. Agasa's house alone, while I went to Shizuru's place. One reason was to get the new equipment, and the other was to avoid Conan. Last night's chat made Conan very angry with me. When I mentioned the word "killing", Conan got angry all of a sudden and yelled at me for a long time. It was not until his voice disturbed Xiaolan that he gradually calmed down. But until this morning, Conan's eyes were full of anger when he looked at me. That's right, Conan had repeatedly warned me not to kill people, but last night I said such words to him so blandly, it would be strange if he didn't get angry. However, I didn't care too much. First, I just said it, but didn't do it. Second, the reason why I said those words to him was because I was ready to bear his attitude in the future. I had expected his anger.

"Oh, it's been a long time since we last contacted each other, Mr. Liufeng, how are you doing recently?" In my own villa, I was sitting in front of the computer and couldn't help but feel funny when I saw Shoulang's excited look.

"I say, please stop smiling so obscenely. What good thing has happened to you that makes you so happy?"

"Well... the island has been developing very rapidly recently, so I'm naturally in a good mood." Skinny Wolf said generously. "After cooperating with the government, we found several business opportunities. So I allocated a portion of the funds Mr. Liufeng gave me to the business. With cash flow, it will be easier to develop."

"No wonder you're so happy." I understood. "By the way, speaking of the government. I've looked at the missions recently, and there may be no hope for A-level missions in the short term. You can talk to the government about it. I can come out to be a bodyguard for an important person on a certain day. Even if it's just a few more times. I've told Axue about this, but Axue's injury hasn't healed yet, and I don't want her to run around."

"Is that so? That is indeed a method. Okay, I will mention it to them." Skinny Wolf thought for a moment.

"Well, also, go ask the government if there are any dens that they want to take down that are against us. If nothing goes wrong, I may have a chance to take one down in the near future."

"Huh? You can't do A-level tasks but you can challenge the opponent? Mr. Liufeng, are you sure?" Shoulang was a little confused.

"Maybe there's a chance." I ruffled my hair. "Ask them what they think. If not, find a power group you want to destroy. It's better not to be too big. You know, I'm just a child now."

"Well... If it were me, I would hope to wipe out the remaining forces of Akano Yuichi in Osaka. After the death of Hunshang and Akano Yuichi, their second-in-command took over. Although their sphere of influence has become much smaller, it has shown signs of expanding. I'm afraid they will take the opportunity to bite us when we are developing."

"Then we should find a way to sow discord between them and the government, so that the white path can also be involved. After I destroy their lair, I can let the government clean up the mess directly." I picked my ears and said unscrupulously. "Since there is no mission, then we can help them create one."

"Well... although this is a bit unfair, it is still a good idea." Skinny Wolf raised his eyebrows. Indeed, on one hand, it is his opponent, and on the other hand, it is his partner. If the two of them fall out, Skinny Wolf will have a greater chance of defeating that force. Of course, the premise is that the government cannot know that it is him who is causing the trouble.

"Well, go ahead and do it. Also, I won't be responsible for the island construction, but as for the design, I don't want Jingliu to be too tired, so you should manage the time well." Having said this, my expression became a little cold.

"Okay, I'm very sorry Mr. Liufeng, because we plan to build the base here first, so we have been rushing to make progress recently, which has also caused Miss Baihe to work overtime recently. However, we have already discussed all the construction guidelines of the base with Miss Baihe, and I will pay attention to it in the next work, please rest assured." Skinny Wolf bowed slightly to me. "By the way, there is one more thing I want to ask you about the island." Skinny Wolf remembered. "Regarding the name of the island, we haven't dealt with this issue yet."

"Let's talk about the name later. I can't make a decision on my own right now."

"..Eh?" Skinny Wolf was stunned for a moment. Mr. Shang Liufeng couldn't make his own decision on this issue? Did he have to ask Miss Baihe? No, he was in his villa right now. If he wanted to discuss it, he would have already discussed it. Why wait?

"Well...anyway, let's put it off for now. There's no rush for this kind of thing." Seeing that Skinny Wolf was confused, I interrupted him hastily.

"Okay, let's put it aside for now, Mr. Liu Feng. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first. There are still some things to deal with at the base."

"Well, that's it. Remember to give me the information about the places that need to be cleaned up in Osaka. I will take care of it myself."

"Okay, I wish you good luck in martial arts."

After contacting Shoulang, I spent the rest of the time at home with Jingliu Ningxue and the others. By the way, I talked to Jingliu about my mother. Before five o'clock in the afternoon, I returned to Maori Office. This was the time Xiaolan had set for me to be home on weekends. After I got home, Xiaolan's dinner was not ready yet, so I planned to go back to the bedroom to rest. When I opened the door, I saw Conan lying on the bed, leaning against the headboard and reading a book. The name of the book was Batman. Although we had a very unpleasant quarrel last night, he still listened to me.

I ignored Conan and lay back on my bed, looking through my phone, hoping to find some protection and escort missions on the mercenary list. After all, you can never have too much money.

"Are you looking for another mission?" Conan's voice suddenly came from the quiet room. But I didn't answer him, but continued to flip through my phone.

"Hey! I'm asking you something!" Conan jumped off the bed and snatched my phone. I took it and looked at it, only to find that green text appeared on the screen.

"...Have you finished reading it?" After a long silence, I asked Conan calmly, and at the same time stretched out my hand. "Give it back to me when you're done." Conan looked at me in silence for a long time, and finally put the phone in my hand. Then he lay down on the bed again and resumed the original silence.

"Where did you go today?" Conan asked me again after another long silence. But just like before, I still ignored him and quietly flipped through my phone.

"Angry?"

"..."

"Kaoru! What do you want to do!" Conan got angry when he saw that I ignored him again and yelled at me.

"It's not what I want to do, but what you want to do!" I turned off my phone, sat up and looked at him coldly. "Since yesterday, you have been asking me about my opinion on the dark world, so I told you. It was you who wanted to understand this dark world, and I said I could take you there if there was a chance, but in the end it was you who got angry. So, what do you want to do!" I stared at Conan with cold eyes without any emotion.

"I..." Conan was speechless. He looked at me solemnly. "Xun, do you really want to be the Dark Knight?"

"Hmm? It seems you have watched the movie carefully." I raised my eyebrows and chuckled.

"...I spent the whole morning watching all the Batman movies today, and then I bought some related books. So..." Conan was a little embarrassed. "Now that you've seen them, I wonder if there are any new changes in Kudo-san's worldview?"

"...No." Conan said stubbornly.

"Oh, then you continue watching." After saying that, I lay back on the bed again.

"Xun, answer my question directly." Conan frowned and looked at me. He knew I was not angry. "Do you really want to be the Dark Knight?"

"How can I have such a lofty ideal?" I gave Conan a disdainful look. "I just want to make an idiot who wants to become a knight of light see the darkness of this world. So that he won't be killed by some unknown organization for no apparent reason."

"Kaoru..." Conan's gaze softened. "...I'm sorry."

"Why are you apologizing for no reason?" I looked at Conan with disdain. I would not get angry with my brother-in-law over such a trivial matter.

"Hey, hey... you're trying to take advantage of me now." Conan narrowed his eyes. Because of my words, the atmosphere brightened up. "Wait... Forget it, I find that I always tend to miss the point when I talk to you. Conan held his forehead with his hand, when did I become your brother-in-law?"

"Hmm? Don't you plan to marry Xiaolan in the future?" I smiled slyly. "Then I will persuade her to change her boyfriend. I heard that the school doctor named Niide Tomoaki in your school is not bad. Hmm..."

"Hey! How come you even know about our school doctor!" Conan shouted at me helplessly. "But seriously, Xun, can you tell me what you did today?"

"Can't you just let go of your guard against me?" I looked at him with some dissatisfaction.

"No!" Conan answered loudly immediately. "Since yesterday, I have been asking you about the black domain. Similarly, I hope to let you see the bright side of this world!" Conan said seriously. "Killing people, missions, etc., I don't want you to touch those things again. If possible, I hope you are still the original Maori Kaoru!"

"...Tsk." I uttered a syllable through my teeth and shook my head in disdain. "He obviously has no skills, but he can always say a lot of beautiful words. It seems that the detective's ability is not only in his brain, but also in his mouth." Sitting up, I looked at Conan again. "Today I went to my intelligence boss's place and asked about some things."

"What's going on?" Conan asked nervously.

"There are several bases of black forces in Osaka. I asked my intelligence boss to get me the information of those bases as soon as possible."

"What do you want that for?"

"Didn't I tell you yesterday?" I looked at Conan calmly. "If there is a chance, I will take you to learn about the Black Territory. Only after I get the information, I can find a relatively safe base to take you there. Otherwise, what if you accidentally lose your life there? How can I explain this to Sister Yukiko?"

"But why did you look at the mission just now?"

"Money! How can I buy information from my boss without money? I've already made an agreement with you not to kill anyone, so I can only choose some protection missions to do."

"I see..." Conan smiled at me apologetically. "Then, what about what you said yesterday about wanting to kill someone?"

"That's why I let you watch Batman."

"Huh?!" Conan's pupils suddenly shrank. Recalling the plot of the movie he saw at Dr. Agasa's house today, Conan seemed to understand my intention. "Does that mean that from the time I got angry with you last night until now, everything I did was under your control?"

"That's not the case." I shrugged. "But ever since you said you wanted to see the dark world, I knew this was bound to happen."

"How did you know?"

"If I didn't even have this level of analytical and computational ability, I would have died several years ago."

"years ago?"

"It was an assassination mission in the United States. If I hadn't calculated it accurately, I might have died in it."

"Can you tell me something?"

"I'm the one who killed people, not the one who solved the case. There's nothing much to say." I spread my hands. "If you have time to care about my past self, you should take care of yourself now. In a few days, it will be..."

"Xiaoxun, Conan, it's time for dinner." I had only said half of my words when Xiaolan's gentle voice came into our ears.

"Let's go eat first. We can take care of the rest later."

"...All right.
