Crossover: Becoming Japan’s Prime Minister?

Shuichi left, and Toru walked into the safe house.

Only Mary was left in the room.

Mary was expressionless as she looked at the corpse tied to the chair in front of her.

The corpse's face was twisted with pain and ferocity, showing the kind of abuse he had suffered before death.

Toru did not speak. He walked over and examined Rum's corpse. After confirming that he was truly and completely dead, he said to Mary, "I'll leave Rum's body to you."

Mary nodded in agreement.

Her deep gaze turned to Toru, and she asked, "What are your plans next?"

"First, I need to stabilize the Organization. With Rum dead, even if I pretend to be Rum now, it will definitely cause some changes within the Organization. I need to eliminate any potential internal issues before they surface."

After a pause, Toru continued, "...Once all of this is over, we can discuss how to have your people join the Organization, change it from within, and make the Organization completely ours."

Mary thought for a moment and nodded. "Okay. During the Organization's current internal turmoil, it really isn't suitable to do anything extra."

"You need to be careful, Fujiwara. If this isn't handled well, this massive Organization could fall apart."

"Those people behind the scenes are still there. They can still rebuild a new Organization, but we might not be able to take that new Organization into our hands again."

Toru nodded with a serious expression. Of course, he knew the issue Mary mentioned was very important.

"Then I'll leave first."

Saying this, Toru walked to the door of the safe house, but his steps paused again when he reached the doorway.

"What, is there anything else?"

Mary raised an eyebrow.

Toru turned his head and said with a half-smile, "Mary, don't forget our promise."

Mary was startled for a moment, thinking of what she had said to Toru before.

She had made a promise with Toru that if he helped her kill Rum and deal with the enemy who killed her husband, then Mary would satisfy Toru's requests.

Mary said crossly, "I can't believe your mind is still on that."

Toru shrugged. "I can't help it. I'm only twenty, right at the peak of my energy. What else am I supposed to think about?"

Mary crossed her arms in annoyance and said, "My promise still stands, and this is also a way for us to trust each other."

"However, I just took that single-use antidote. I don't dare try it again during this period, in case I develop resistance. Once this period is over, I'll fulfill my promise."

Toru believed Mary would not break her promise, mainly because she could not run away either.

Especially since Mary was currently being hunted by MI6. If she did not form an alliance with Toru, both she and her daughter, Masumi, would be in danger.

As a female agent of MI6, Toru did not need to worry about Mary making irrational choices.

Toru swallowed the words he had almost said, nodded, and left.

Seeing Toru's retreating figure, Mary's gaze shifted slightly.

Since getting older, her physical condition had begun to decline, and that only made her fear aging even more.

But when Mary twice regained the body of someone in her twenties, feeling that youthful strength again, it made her quite obsessed with it.

Because she could feel that vitality, it meant she was still young and did not have to face death directly.

"Heh, getting old is truly the most terrifying thing. As an MI6 agent, I can accept dying on a mission, but I cannot accept becoming old and infirm, only able to sit in a wheelchair or lie in bed unable to move."

"I finally understand why so many emperors, generals, and ministers throughout history wanted longevity."

"Time is the most terrifying."

Mary sighed softly and took out her phone, wanting to contact her subordinates.

However, after a slight hesitation, she put down her phone and decided to handle Rum's body herself.

Rum's death absolutely could not be exposed. This made it difficult for her to trust anyone other than Toru for the time being.

"Cough, cough... This is really troublesome. With the body I have now, handling a corpse is too difficult."

But even if it was difficult, Mary could only start doing the job.

...

A silver Porsche 911 drove through the streets of Tokyo.

Rum's phone suddenly received a message.

Toru picked up the phone and looked at it, his expression turning stern. He pulled the car over to the side of the street.

A strange Japanese children's song came from the phone, and That Person sent a message to all the codenamed members: [Rum Betrayed]!

"This guy really is haunting."

Toru looked at the message on his phone and muttered.

Not long ago, he had Haibara use the full age identification system to search for Karasuma Renya, but no trace of him was found.

And at this moment, someone suspected to be Karasuma Renya had sent such a message.

"Fortunately, Rum himself had ulterior motives and prepared in advance. The message sent by That Person won't catch me off guard."

Toru still did not have a complete understanding of the Black Organization's entire internal structure. If he had to face this problem directly, even Toru would be left scratching his head.

But Rum was a good person, especially since Rum was a very shrewd person who liked to plan ahead.

Since he regarded That Person as an imaginary enemy, he would definitely inform some codenamed members in advance and win over important cadres of the Organization to follow him.

This saved Toru the trouble of directly confronting That Person and playing the Organization split game with him. Rum had already resolved everything for Toru.

"This is good. According to Rum's personality, he wouldn't be anxious to contact his subordinates everywhere. Instead, he would remain calm and wait for the situation to develop."

"Now that I am Rum, I must also imitate his way of doing things. I won't do anything for now and will let the cadres in the Organization come to me voluntarily."

"The people who come to find me are Rum's confidants, and they are also the people I can now control and trust, as long as my identity is not exposed."

Countless thoughts raced through Toru's mind.

That Person's move was indeed somewhat unexpected, but Toru did not make any mistakes out of urgency.

Vermouth called, "Boy, did you see the message Boss sent?"

"Okay, I see. Vermouth, come to my place, and we can discuss it when we meet."

"Oh? Aren't you afraid I'll see your little lover?"

Vermouth teased.

The "little lover" she referred to was Sherry.

"I'd quite like to take both you, the big lover, and the little lover, to bed together."

Toru raised an eyebrow and said it without reservation.

"Boy, you are truly audacious."
