Chapter 51 Shiho's Departure

Chapter 52: Shiho's Departure
After that, three years passed quickly. During these three years, I was constantly on missions. Of course, I did not fall behind in my own courses. At the request of Sister Bei, I learned how to use vehicles such as cars, motorcycles, helicopters, fighter jets, speedboats, and even submarines. In addition, there was a series of learning such as forced confession, counter-forced confession, infiltration, and counter-infiltration. However, I did not learn to hide drugs. Because according to my opinion, taking poison is not as fast as using a gun, so Sister Bei did not force me.

I want to say that Gin came back from the United States a few days ago and continued to work as an executive officer at this base. However, because my name has been assigned to Sister Bei, I have less interactions with Gin. I only occasionally meet him before a mission.

After three years of training, Ling has become a qualified melee killer. She is no longer afraid of death. On the contrary, she is very decisive in doing tasks, especially in assassination missions. She can kill the target without hesitation every time. For this, she has earned a resounding title: "Angel of Annihilation".

In the past three years, I have completed my university studies. The same is true for Shiho. However, this also means that she will leave this base and go to the United States to study alone. After all, she is a researcher and needs more professional knowledge. The night before she left, I chatted with her for a long time until dawn when I sent her on the plane. Looking at Shiho's red eyes, I felt a little reluctant.

"Bing..." Shiho looked at me with red eyes. Shiho, 14 years old, has already started to develop physically. Although still young, her perfect curves have already taken shape.

"Be good. Don't be sad." I smiled. After three years, my height finally surpassed Shiho's again when I was twelve years old. This also gave me the right to hug her at any time. But Shiho still didn't give me any chance to hug her, let alone kiss her. Of course, except for this situation now. "Don't be sad. It's only four years. We will meet again in four years." I gently hugged Shiho and comforted her.

"Yeah." Shiho replied softly. "It's just as you said. Sooner or later we have to separate and live independently." Shiho leaned in my arms and said softly.

"Silly girl, the sooner we say goodbye now, the more joy we will have when we meet again in the future, right?" I kissed her forehead gently. "And I heard that Sister Mingmei is in the United States now. If you have the chance, you can meet her."

"Are you serious?" Shiho's eyes gleamed and she looked up at me.

"Well. But Sister Mingmei is still an outer member. So I can't guarantee that you will be able to meet. Take care of yourself when you get there. When we meet next time, you will be an 18-year-old girl." As I said that, I held Shiho in my arms again.

"You too. You are not allowed to hook up with other women during the four years I'm away." Shiho smiled playfully in my arms. But there was a hint of reluctance in that playfulness.

"Hey, hey..." The corners of my mouth twitched. "Don't worry, Princess, you are the only one in my heart."

"Haha. I'm glad to know." Then, Shiho put her white arms around my neck and kissed me deeply on the lips, then said with blushing cheeks, "I'm leaving now. You must stay alive and wait for me to come back."

"Ah. Definitely." I pinched Shiho's cheek and turned around. "Taichi. Mary, I'll leave Shiho in the care of the two of you while she's in America."

"Yes. Don't worry, Brother Bing. We will take good care of Sister Shirley." Mary said respectfully. In order to prevent Shiho from feeling lonely, I arranged Mary and Taichi to be with Shiho. After my training, these two people have the strength of formal members. I also persuaded them to challenge other formal members and get a code name. But the two of them still insisted on working under me. I didn't force them.

"Um... I'm not used to hearing this Shirley." I laughed helplessly. "Haha. At the same time, both of you should not fall behind in your professional courses, whether it's your medical skills, Mary, or your hacking skills, Taichi. Work hard, and you will be my right-hand men in the future."

"Thank you for your care, Brother Bing. We won't let you down." Taiyi bowed deeply to me.

"Yeah." I turned around and looked at Shiho again. "The devil's wings will always be with you. As long as you keep it, I will always be by your side to protect you."

"Yeah. I'm leaving. Remember to miss me."

"Haha. I think about it every night." I smiled. "Get on the plane. Take care." I sent Shiho and the other two on the plane. As I watched the plane fly farther and farther away, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart.

"Bing... Go back." Jingliu, who was already 21 years old, patted my shoulder. Three years later, she looked very mature. Every move exuded an alluring charm.

"Yeah. Let's go."

"Do we have to go on a mission today?"

"Yes. Go back and inform Ling for me. I'm taking her on a stealth mission today." I got in the car and returned to the base with Jingliu.

————The scent of orchids, the scent of lavender, the scent of home & the wings of angels, the wings of demons, the wings of guardians————

"Bing. Did you send your girlfriend away today?" A charming voice sounded as I walked into the base.

"Ah. It's Sister Bei. Haha. Stop making fun of me." I looked a little sad. Shiho's departure made me feel like something was missing.

"Haha. Okay Bing, I won't tease you anymore. I have something serious to tell you." As she spoke, Vermouth's expression became serious.

"I understand. Jingliu, you go back first. I'll be back soon." I responded and turned around to instruct Jingliu.

"Yes. Big Brother Bing." Although we have been playing together for more than five years since I became a formal member at the age of seven, Jingliu has never forgotten her mission and will always address me respectfully in front of others.

"Okay. Sister Bei, is there anything you want to tell me?" I looked at her and saw that she looked a little serious.

"Haha. Let's go to the cafe. Let's drink and talk." Vermouth gathered her long golden wavy hair and walked towards the cafe first.

When we arrived at the cafe, Vermouth ordered a glass of gin, but I still kept my habit of drinking ice water.

"By the way, Bing, why do I rarely see you drinking?" Vermouth asked me after taking a sip of the wine in the glass.

"I'm only thirteen now. Isn't it a rule in Japan that minors can't drink alcohol?" I grinned, showing my white teeth. "Besides, I have a mission today. Drinking will hinder my work."

"Oh, I see. But the mission for you today is cancelled." Vermouth was not moved by my joke.

"Ah? What's going on?" "Yeah." Vermouth suddenly said to me seriously. "That woman. Do you remember her?"

I raised an eyebrow. "You mean... Margaret?"

"Yeah." Vermouth frowned. "That woman asked me for someone."

"Hmm? It can't be such a coincidence that this person is me?" He said with a faint smile.

"Bing... I'm sorry..." Vermouth's expression was full of apology and guilt. It seems that I was really chosen by that woman.

"But. I have only been on the mission for a short time. Why did she choose me?"

"That woman..." Vermouth's eyes were instantly filled with anger. "Although her character is very bad, she is a gold medalist after all, so she still has a good eye for people. You have completed hundreds of missions. And the completion rate is 100%. Ever since your name was added to the mission list, that woman has been observing you for a long time. She doesn't want you to surpass her, so her purpose in taking you away from me is to find an opportunity to get rid of you."

"Hehe, it seems that being too outstanding is not a good thing. As expected, the tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind." I smiled faintly.

"I'm sorry. Bing..." Vermouth looked at me apologetically.

"Haha. It's okay, Sister Bei. Believe me. I will definitely survive that woman. As long as I can survive 300 missions and become a gold medal, won't that be enough?"

"Ice..." Vermouth looked at me worriedly. "That woman won't let you survive 300 missions. You..."

"Don't worry, Sister Bei." I smiled confidently. "When have I ever disappointed you?"

"But..."

"Haha. It's okay. But I have something to ask Sister Bei."

"Huh? You say."

"If I go under that woman's command, I can't let Ling take risks with me. So I'd like to ask Sister Bei to train her on my behalf, is that okay?"

Vermouth was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Haha. Are you talking about the Angel of Annihilation?"

"Huh? Sister Bei also knows her title?"

"How could I not know? She grew up under your training, the 'Ice Devil'." Vermouth looked at me with interest. "The Ice Devil, once he strikes, he will kill with one strike. No one has ever walked out alive from his sniper scope. He has never failed since he went on a mission alone, and his mission completion rate is 100%. His biggest feature is the cold murderous aura around him, as if the devil has descended to the world. Ice, your reputation in the assassin world is almost surpassing that of me, the 'Thousand-Faced Witch'." Vermouth smiled.

"No, Sister Bei, you are making fun of me again." I scratched my head embarrassedly.

"Haha. Anyway, I will pay more attention to the Angel of Annihilation, and you, Bing, you must be careful under that woman. I'm worried that she will do something bad to you." Vermouth put away her playful smile and spoke to me seriously.

"Yes. I understand." I answered her with the same serious expression.

"Ah, isn't this Vermouth? Eh? And you're here too." Just as we finished speaking, a disdainful voice rang out from beside us. Needless to say, this annoying voice must be Margaret's.

"Ah. It's Sister Margaret." I stood up and bowed slightly to her. "I heard that you have registered me as your own?"

"Humph. Of course. You are so outstanding that I will ask you to help me," Margaret said charmingly, smoothing her scarlet short hair. But I didn't think her action was pretty. Instead, it made me want to vomit.

"Haha. Then I would like to thank Sister Margaret for her appreciation." As I said that, I bowed to her again like a gentleman.

"Hmph. Stop talking nonsense. Come and take your first mission." Margaret threw two slips of paper to me in a very unhappy tone. One was the mission target [Assassination: Ichiro Oizumi.] (pure spoof ==) and the other was the target's information and address.

"Ichiro Oizumi? No! Margaret, you can't let him do this mission. This mission is far beyond IceWine's current level." Vermouth glanced at my task list and shouted angrily.

"Ah. Don't forget Vermouth. IceWine is my subordinate now." Margaret snorted coldly at Vermouth.

"Besides, I also want to see how powerful the so-called Ice Demon is. Hahahaha." Margaret left amid a burst of ugly laughter.

"Bing. You can't do this mission. This Oizumi Ichiro..."

"A candidate for the next mayor of Kyoto?" I looked at the information and smiled coldly. "Don't worry, Sister Bei, I will complete this task."

"Bing, you have to know that this person has a black background. His bodyguards are all former underground mercenaries. There are assassins among them. You can't kill him now with your ability.

"Don't worry, Sister Bei. Since I can't deal with him at close range, I'll just use a sniper. Wait for the good news when I return victoriously." I smiled confidently, then turned and left the cafe.
