36. The Arrival of a New Wine in the Organization

Bang! Bang!

The sound of the beating was heavy and solid.

"Continue!"

On the training ground's ring, the coach held a target in each hand and continuously received Hayashi Yoshiki's punches.

Hayashi Yoshiki adjusted his breathing and continued punching at the target in front of him.

Bang! Bang!! Bang!!

The right fist that went straight in landed on the bull's-eye of the target with a solid sound, and then the left fist of equal weight caused the coach's shoulder to shake. As his feet slightly stepped back, Hayashi Yoshiki had already adjusted the angle and used his fist again -

"Good rhythm, come again!"

After the coach stood firm, he clapped his hands and got ready again.

Hayashi Yoshiki punched again.

His rhythm was fast and steady, and contrary to the impression given by his handsome appearance, each of his punches was heavy.

Through the thick and soft hand target, the coach had to stabilize his center of gravity again and again to meet his punches.

This exercise continued for another half an hour.

The coach's hands were raised until they were numb, then Hayashi Yoshiki untied his fists and let out a light breath.

Sweat beaded on his forehead.

But his breathing rhythm was not disordered. He just reached out to smooth all the slightly wet hair ends to the top of his head, walked down the ring and picked up the water bottle.

The bottle contains a grapefruit-flavored energy drink, which tastes pretty good.

"Are we still going to continue training after a five-minute break, coach?"

"That's all for today."

"Oh, okay. I'm sorry for the trouble today."

Hamada Daisei

This was the name that the other party had previously written down in Hayashi Yoshiki's notes.

Hamada Daisei was still standing on the ring. He took off the target gloves on both hands while panting. He looked at Hayashi Yoshiki, who was standing below, drinking and taking out his cell phone, with a complicated look.

This guy...

Although he looks gentle and refined, his mobility and endurance are somewhat inhuman, and he learns many things very quickly.

Ring-ring-ring~ Ring-ring-ring~

The cell phone rings.

Hayashi Yoshiki pressed the answer button, and just as he put it to his ear, he heard Gin's voice:

"Come to the bar we met last time at 10:30 tonight."

"OK."

Gin obviously had no habit of saying goodbye to anyone, so he hung up the phone as soon as he heard the reply.

Hayashi Yoshiki went into the bathroom to take a shower.

It has to be said that the organization's training ground is indeed well-equipped, with everything from a shooting range to an arena, and even a swimming pool for physical training... It is worth mentioning that he can take one of the guns in the shooting range with him, but that would be too conspicuous for him, so he is not considering it for the time being.

10:30 p.m.

The familiar big black building, the familiar Black Widow bar.

When Hayashi Yoshiki arrived on time, Vodka and Gin had already arrived. The two of them were still sitting in front of the counter, but today the bartender was a new face.

"Yo."

Vodka turned around and raised his hand to say hello.

"Good evening."

Hayashi Yoshiki came to the bar and sat down, "Gin, Mr. Vodka."

Gin smoked his cigarette without saying anything.

Vodka seemed to be hesitant to speak - why did he call his Big Bro just Gin, but call himself "Mr. Vodka"?

He felt like there was something stuck in his throat.

But Hayashi Yoshiki was just looking at the drink menu with a smile and didn't pay any attention to him. Before he could decide what to drink, the busy bartender had already handed him a glass of wine.

It was a glass of pure wine that was poured into a classic glass and placed with a small amount of ice cubes, and its color was crystal clear.

"Cointreau."

"It is a distilled sweet liquor originated from France in the early 18th century. Its characteristic is that its rich aroma is mixed with the natural fruity aroma of fresh fruits and sweet oranges. As a liqueur, it is suitable for blending, but it can also be drunk neat."

Gin pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, stared at this side with his green eyes, and grinned:

"This is your code name."

"Cointreau..."

Hayashi Yoshiki picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

The first feeling after taking a sip of the refreshing drink is sweetness.

The rich wine flavor that follows is mixed with light floral and fruity aromas. After the cool feeling flows down the throat, the remaining taste is the unique bittersweet alcohol of sweet wine but with the aroma of orange.

Gin snorted and laughed.

The logic behind the naming of code names in the organization is very particular. Men are generally code-named after distilled spirits, while women are code-named after wine or cider.

And the code name Cointreau is indeed very appropriate for Hayashi Yoshiki in Gin's opinion.

The prominent sweetness and sweet fruity aroma are just like his good looks and polite manners, but they can never conceal the fact that Cointreau is a bottle of strong liquor and Hayashi Yoshiki is also an excellent killer.

"Congratulations."

Vodka finished his glass beside him, "From today on, I will call you Cointreau."

"Hmm... It feels strange to get a code name."

"…"

"Will this have any impact on me?" Hayashi Yoshiki put down his wine glass. He obtained the code name faster than he expected.

"The website within the organization will give you more permissions, and no one will be watching your every move anymore. In addition, when necessary, you can apply for special funds from the organization and have the authority to assign lower-level members to help you do things."

"It sounds pretty good."

"'That Person' is very optimistic about your abilities, and he also recognizes your plans for your public identity. Don't let him down..."

"'That Person'?"

"It's the boss of the organization"

"I see..."

In fact, if Gin had not witnessed the scene of Hayashi Yoshiki's "accidental murder" on the road again that day, he probably would not have introduced him to the boss so quickly.

The situation of Wakamatsu Toshihide was also investigated.

Just on the night of the conflict, he arranged a murder scene of excessive self-defense...

Could it be that for this guy, even people themselves can be part of the "accident"?

However, Gin was able to confirm that Hayashi Yoshiki's moral level was not high. He was different from those rats who tried to go undercover and would not take the initiative to kill or harm others unless it was necessary... Since there was no problem with his identity and his abilities were useful, Gin naturally did not hesitate to help him.

"Anyway, I just need to do my own thing well." Hayashi Yoshiki picked up the cup and took a sip. "By the way, the organization should not continue to fuel my fame now, right?"

"No."

"That's good."

There are many undercover agents hiding in the organization.

Although Hayashi Yoshiki did not intend to stay in the organization forever, the undercover agents would not think so without knowing the truth... If the organization promoted his content too much, it would inevitably be noticed by them.

It would be convenient if he had the "Shinigami Eye".

Now he have to hide slowly until he get the faces and names of all the important senior executives in the organization.
