Recently, Vermouth had made a rare return to Japan from America. Furuya Rei had a certain understanding of Vermouth; the only ones in The Organization who could order her around were Rum and Glenlivet. Rum used status and power to pressure Vermouth into working for him, but Furuya Rei had no idea what leverage Glenlivet used.
"Well, well? Bourbon, you really are quite bold." Vermouth teased Bourbon for his audacity in prying into her secrets, showing not a shred of anger. She then poured a glass of Glenlivet and handed it to Furuya Rei. "A secret is a secret precisely because of its mystery, Bourbon. Don't go destroying that mystery." With a light smile, Vermouth turned and left.
Furuya Rei did not take the veiled threat to heart; searching out every threat and eliminating it was his duty. Since he couldn't get anywhere with Vermouth, and Gin was a dead end to pass on directly, he had no choice but to investigate on his own. "Glenlivet? We know absolutely nothing about him on our end." Akai Shuichi had once gathered intelligence on Glenlivet, only to come up completely empty-handed. "Are you planning to make a move against Glenlivet?" Akai Shuichi didn't believe anyone could unearth anything about Glenlivet's past in Japan. "What if we go to Italy?"
