The Pirated Onmyoji of the Detective World

To avoid being looked down upon by this brat, he could only suppress the strange feeling he had just experienced and raised his fist to charge at Aragaki Yu once again.

After all, he didn't want to believe that this kid who looked like a high school student would give him such a dangerous aura; he preferred to believe that it was just his imagination.

Tequila decided to strike first, so he decisively moved forward, swinging his fists repeatedly, each punch accompanied by a fierce punching technique.

Yuu Aragaki moved with agility, his body like a willow branch in the wind, easily dodging each of Agave's attacks.

But Tequila lived up to his reputation as a top-notch fighting expert; his skills were indeed a cut above those of the self-taught Aragaki Yu. Before long, he seized an opportunity and landed a heavy blow on Aragaki Yu.

Unable to dodge in time, Aragaki Yu could only turn to the side to protect his vitals, but the tequila hit his shoulder. With this blow, Aragaki Yu felt his body tremble violently, and a sudden pain shot through his shoulder.

Fortunately, before being hit by the agave, Aragaki Yu used his spiritual power to protect his shoulder, so apart from the sudden pain, he was not seriously injured.

On the contrary, Tequila herself stiffened involuntarily due to the unusual recoil from the fist.

Yuu Aragaki naturally wouldn't let this opportunity pass. Taking advantage of the opening revealed by Tequila during his attack, he spun around and unexpectedly kicked him in the abdomen.

All that could be heard was a muffled groan from Tequila, whose face turned deathly pale. She clenched her fists and staggered backward.

The excruciating pain in his abdomen made him arch his back, his brow furrowed, and large beads of cold sweat poured from his forehead.

But he couldn't let his guard down; he still had to brace himself to defend himself against the little devil in front of him.

As expected, Aragaki Yu did not let go of the opportunity to press his advantage.

Before the tequila could recover, it was Aragaki Yu who took the initiative to rush forward this time.

In an instant, the offensive and defensive situation on the field changed dramatically.

Yuu Aragaki and Tequila were locked in combat once again, but this time, Tequila was left only with the ability to desperately defend himself.

After a few minutes, Tequila became increasingly alarmed.

In those few minutes, he had lost count of how many times he had been hit by Aragaki Yu. He had gone from having abdominal pain to feeling pain all over his body, and he hadn't been able to touch the other man even once. In fact, he had no chance to fight back at all.

For some reason, the tequila suddenly found itself in a situation where it was being beaten up unilaterally.

Seeing that Aragaki Yu seemed to be getting more and more excited as the fight went on, Tequila also secretly thought that something was wrong.

Knowing he couldn't continue this stalemate, he deliberately gave up, letting his arm take a hard kick from the other person. Using the force of the kick, he took a few steps back and escaped the battlefield.

"Huff~" Tequila clutched her arm, panting heavily, and carefully stared at Aragaki Yu, who had finally stopped, her face unusually grim.

Although he managed to break free from Aragaki Yu's entanglement with this kick, he could clearly feel that his arm was definitely broken from the attack just now, and he really couldn't use any strength at all.

He endured the excruciating pain in his arm, glaring fiercely at Aragaki Yuu in front of him, fearing that he might attack again at the slightest provocation.

If that's really the case, Tequila frowned.

If this guy continues to pester him, even at the risk of offending Gin, he will have no choice but to use a gun to deal with this brat.

However, based on Yuu Aragaki's performance just now, Tequila did not believe that he could defeat his opponent with a gun, given that he had lost an arm.

He now understood why Gin had promoted this kid in front of him.

Fortunately, to Tequila's relief, Aragaki Yuu on the other side did not intend to continue.

Aragaki Yu shook his hands, looking at Tequila with a half-smile, and said, "So, want to continue?"

"Hmph!" Although Tequila knew very well that she was no match for her opponent, she still stubbornly said, "I'll let you off this time, you brat!"

Yuu Aragaki watched as Tequila quietly retreated, trying to leave, and couldn't help but chuckle: "What, it seems you're not convinced? Why don't we continue? I haven't had enough fun yet!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Aragaki Yu made a move to rush forward.

When Agave saw this, it was startled. Without thinking, it instinctively took two steps back, trying to get far away.

However, when he came to his senses, he found that Aragaki Yu was still standing there, looking at him with a mocking expression.

He finally realized that this kid was playing a trick on him.

"Damn it!" Looking at Aragaki Yu not far away, Tequila gritted her teeth and couldn't help but curse in her heart.

If it weren't for his injured arm constantly reminding him to stay calm, he would have definitely pulled out his gun by now.

Chapter 256 Absinthe

Having suffered a setback at the hands of Aragaki Yu, the cautious Tequila stared intently at Aragaki Yu, while slowly retreating into the woods of the park.

Just as he moved to the edge of the woods and turned to escape into it, a ghostly voice suddenly rang in his ear.

"What, is the mighty tequila just going to run away like this?"

In an instant, the hairs on his body stood on end.

His instincts, honed over decades, made him instinctively want to turn and attack the guy next to him. However, the next moment, he froze on the spot like a statue, not daring to move an inch.

At this moment, the cold touch on his waist reminded him that something had cut through his trench coat and was pressing against his skin.

"A knife?" Tequila was startled, but didn't dare turn around to confirm anything. "But how could this guy be so fast!"

Tequila clearly noticed that while she was retreating towards the woods, Aragaki Yuu remained standing still without making any move.

How did he manage to get to my side in the short time it took me to turn around and step into the woods?!

"What, you don't actually dare to attack your senior?" Although Tequila was a little scared, she still put on a calm expression and spoke coldly.

Meanwhile, his uninjured hand, still in Aragaki Yu's blind spot, was quietly moving towards his waist.

Clearly, tequila is not going to just sit idly by and wait for its demise.

"Senior?" Aragaki Yu chuckled and replied, "Sorry, all I know is that Gin pays my salary. I know nothing else. And you're just some random passerby who jumped out halfway to try and take me down."

"Oh!? Kid, looks like Gin doesn't consider you one of his own either!" Upon hearing Yuu Aragaki's words, Tequila was taken aback for a moment, then immediately sneered, "Hahaha, just a clueless idiot!"

While speaking, Tequila didn't forget to secretly observe Aragaki Yu behind her out of the corner of her eye.

His purpose in saying these things was not only to sow discord between Aragaki Yuu, but also to influence Aragaki Yuu's thoughts and buy himself more time to reach the pistol at his waist.

However, just as he touched his pistol, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he was about to draw his gun and fire.

But then, with a "whoosh" sound, a strangely shaped longsword pierced right through his palm.

"what!!!"

With a sharp pain, the pistol that Tequila had just pulled out fell to the ground.

"Heh..." Aragaki Yu chuckled as he pulled the knife from Tequila's hand. "You think I wouldn't see your little tricks?"

Then, with an expression of utter disgust, Aragaki Yu wiped the blood from the tip of the knife onto his tequila trench coat and said, "Also, put away your little schemes. I'm just doing a job for Gin for money. Do you think I care about trust or anything like that?"

Tequila widened her eyes and glared at Aragaki Yu with gritted teeth.

Apart from that sudden scream at the beginning, there wasn't a single painful wail, which makes him quite a tough guy.

With one shoulder injured and the other hand completely pierced, Tequila was now utterly powerless against Aragaki Yu.

"Well, can we talk properly now?" Aragaki Yu patted Tequila's injured shoulder with the back of his knife, a smile on his face.

Tequila gritted his teeth and nodded, but seeing Aragaki Yu's calm expression, he hesitated and added, "But there are some things I think you should ask your boss, Gin, instead."

Tequila was terrified that Aragaki Yu would ask her questions about the intelligence.

He still couldn't confirm how deep the connection between Aragaki Yuu and the organization was. If he revealed too much information about the organization to unsuspecting people, and he couldn't silence them in time, what would happen?

Tequila knew exactly what fate awaited him, and he was absolutely certain that Gin would show no mercy when pointing his gun at him.

“Of course, I’m not interested in that kind of thing.” Yuu Aragaki smiled and patted Tequila on the shoulder, signaling him to relax.

However, under Yuu Aragaki's comforting words, Tequila couldn't help but grin and furrow her brow.

He glared angrily at Aragaki Yu, who had already put away his knife, and wondered if the guy was doing it on purpose or what, as he kept hitting his injured area.

"Who sent you to find me?" Aragaki Yu asked with a smile, staring into Tequila's eyes.

"It was me... Ah!"

Before Tequila could finish speaking, she noticed a flash of silver light before her eyes.

He looked closely and saw that the long sword in Aragaki Yu's hand had been drawn again at some point.

The next moment, Tequila felt a sharp pain in his chest. He couldn't help but look down and saw that just a moment ago, a deep wound that exposed bone had been cut into his chest.

Fresh blood was gushing out of the wound, completely staining the clothes around it.

"hiss!"

Upon seeing this, Tequila couldn't help but gasp, hurriedly extending her injured hand to cover her wound, and then glared fiercely at Aragaki Yu.

"you……!?"

"Hmph, I hate being lied to the most!" Facing Tequila's angry glare, Aragaki Yu said lightly, "Think carefully before you answer. With this amount of bleeding, I don't think you can last much longer!"

"!!!"

Tequila's eyes widened, his gaze towards Aragaki Yu filled with hostility, but Aragaki Yu met his gaze without flinching.

At this point, Tequila finally had to admit that Gin had struck gold.

The boy in front of me named Aragaki Yu is definitely not simple!

"What, you still don't want to talk about it?"

Tequila noticed that the smile on Aragaki Yu's face was becoming increasingly bright, but he sensed an extremely strong sense of danger emanating from it.

With a sense of foreboding, Tequila had no choice but to concede, "It's absinthe!"
