Shared Heavens from Douluo Continent

Soon, the day the kidnappers had designated for paying the ransom arrived. Although the police had laid a net in advance, with Akiko Hanai's cooperation as an insider, Maya Tachibana, posing as a kidnapper, managed to take the five hundred million yen ransom without incident.

Seeing how incompetent the police were, Katsuhiko Takei could not help but give them a thorough scolding.

The only thing Katsuhiko Takei found reassuring was that the kidnappers had no intention of breaking their promise. After receiving the ransom, they released Naoko Takei.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, no one expected Katsuhiko Takei to drown in his own bathtub a few days later because he had gotten drunk.

With Katsuhiko Takei's accidental death, he naturally had no way to repay the money as promised. The shares under his name were also forcibly transferred to Dai Changsheng.

After acquiring those shares, Dai Changsheng became the Takei Group's largest shareholder in one stroke.

Since Dai Changsheng could not be bothered to manage the Takei Group personally, he handed all matters large and small concerning its management over to Akiko Hanai.

To motivate Akiko Hanai, Dai Changsheng also transferred five percent of the shares to her.

Akiko Hanai did not reject Dai Changsheng's goodwill. However, after receiving those shares, she transferred them into Naoko Takei's name.

With the dividends from those shares, even if the Takei Group had been taken by Dai Changsheng, Naoko Takei would still be guaranteed a life free from worries about food and clothing.

Although Akiko Hanai deeply hated Katsuhiko Takei, she had truly treated Naoko Takei as her own younger sister.

After learning of this, Dai Changsheng had no intention of blaming Akiko Hanai. Instead, he rather admired her clear-cut sense of love and hate.

Time flew by, and more than half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

"Of the gang that robbed one billion yen from a Beika Bank cash transport vehicle, two robbers have been murdered so far, while Masami Hirota remains missing.

The police suspect that this tragedy was caused by an uneven division of the spoils among the robbers. There is a strong possibility that the one billion yen was taken by Masami Hirota alone..."

As Dai Changsheng was having breakfast and watching television after finishing his usual morning workout with Yoko Sawaki and the others, the latest news suddenly caught his attention.

Masami Hirota's real name was Akemi Miyano, and she was also Shiho Miyano's older sister.

Based on the original plot, the reason Akemi Miyano had planned this one-billion-yen robbery was because she believed that with that money, she could take Shiho Miyano and leave the Black Organization.

Unfortunately, Akemi Miyano had underestimated Shiho Miyano's importance to the Black Organization.

From the moment Akemi Miyano asked Gin to let her leave the Black Organization with Shiho Miyano, she had already been placed on Gin's execution list.

Gin had deliberately offered to exchange one billion yen for the sisters' freedom only because he wanted to squeeze out the last of Akemi Miyano's value, while also seeing whether he could lure out Shuichi Akai.

It was only after Shiho Miyano learned of her sister's death that she became so disheartened that she tried to commit suicide by taking poison. Instead, by sheer accident, she reverted to childhood and became Ai Haibara.

"Looks like Gin will be executing Masami Hirota soon. I might as well go watch."

After staring at Masami Hirota's photograph on the television for a while, Dai Changsheng narrowed his eyes slightly and silently mused, If that woman is lucky enough, I might even be able to save her along the way.

Having made up his mind, Dai Changsheng immediately used the Disguise Technique to change his appearance, then headed for Shiho Miyano's research institute.

Vicious Snowflake

"Gin, take me along when you execute Akemi Miyano. I want to watch too!"

After meeting Gin, Dai Changsheng waved the camera in his hand and got straight to the point. "I can take a few pictures and send them to Vermouth. I'm sure she'll be very happy to see them."

!!!

Gin's expression shifted slightly. "Who told you I was going to execute that woman?"

"Isn't it as obvious as lice on a bald monk's head?"

Dai Changsheng sneered. "That woman's name and picture have been shown on television who knows how many times. If you don't deal with her quickly, are you waiting for the police to follow the trail right to your door?

Not to mention that she's only an outer member of the Organization. Even core members like us would have only one path left after causing such a huge mess: death."

In the original story, the Black Organization's veteran member Pisco had accidentally been photographed shooting and killing politician Shigeyoshi Domon during an assassination mission. As a result, Karasuma Renya personally ordered Gin to silence him.

"You do see things clearly. No wonder you refuse to show your real face."

Gin glanced at Dai Changsheng's false face and remarked meaningfully, "If that woman were half as smart as you, she wouldn't have to die."

To be honest, people like Dai Changsheng, who were proficient in the Disguise Technique, were often the ones who lived the longest in the Black Organization.

Whenever Dai Changsheng went out on a mission, he only needed to change his appearance with the Disguise Technique. Even if something went wrong, he did not need to worry about the police tracing it back to him.

At present, only Vermouth and the BOSS knew Dai Changsheng's true identity within the Black Organization. Not even Gin knew what he really looked like.

"Ring, ring, ring..."

A burst of urgent cellphone ringing suddenly sounded. Vodka, who was standing beside Gin, hurriedly pulled out his phone.

"Big Brother, it's Akemi Miyano calling."

Seeing the number on the caller ID, Vodka quickly handed the phone to Gin.

"Fine. Meet at the usual place."

After taking the phone from Vodka and exchanging a few brief words with Akemi Miyano, Gin turned to Dai Changsheng. "Snowflake, didn't you want to see that woman get executed with your own eyes? Then come with us!"

Gin had long disliked Dai Changsheng's bad habit of refusing to kill women. Perhaps he could use this chance to correct that habit!

Led by Gin, the three of them soon arrived at an abandoned warehouse in the outskirts of Beika City.

"Click, click, click..."

As crisp footsteps rang out, Akemi Miyano, dressed in a white women's suit and a white short skirt, entered from outside the warehouse with a grim expression.

"Where are you? Come out now!"

The moment Akemi Miyano finished speaking, Gin and Vodka emerged from the shadows.

A trace of mockery flashed in Gin's eyes as he revealed a cold smile. "You've worked hard, Akemi Miyano!"

"Can I ask you a question? Why did you have to kill those two?"

"Hahaha..."

Seeing that Akemi Miyano could still ask such an innocent question at this point, even Vodka could not help laughing.

"Because that's how we've always done things!"

Gin impatiently urged, "All right, hand over the money you robbed."

"The money isn't with me. I've hidden it somewhere else."

Akemi Miyano bit her lip and said stubbornly, "I want to see my sister first. That was our agreement. As long as I earned one billion yen for the Organization, you would let my sister and me leave it."

"Heh!"

Gin sneered. "Sorry! I'm afraid that will be very difficult. Your sister is one of the Organization's few top intellectual talents. She's different from you. The Organization needs her services right now."

No matter how naive Akemi Miyano was, she realized by then that Gin had been lying to her.

"Gin, you lied to me from the very beginning!"

Akemi Miyano, humiliated and enraged, drew the handgun she had prepared in advance and pointed it at Gin and Vodka. "Call someone and have my sister released immediately, or I'll never forgive you!"

Faced with Akemi Miyano's threat, Gin's expression did not change. "Since you're seeking death yourself, you can't blame anyone else. Snowflake!"

Bang!

The instant Gin finished speaking, a black shadow suddenly appeared behind Akemi Miyano and kicked the handgun from her grasp.

"Don't move!"

Dai Changsheng swiftly caught the gun, then pressed it against the back of Akemi Miyano's head.

Though Akemi Miyano's face turned ugly after being restrained, she still put on a brave front. "Snowflake, you'd better hold that gun steady. If you accidentally kill me, you'll never find the money I hid."

"Naive! Do you really think we don't know you hid that money in a safe deposit box?"

Disdain flashed in Gin's eyes. He snorted and said, "Snowflake, send her on her way!"

"I don't want to!"

"Hmm?"

"You haven't known me for only a day. I hate destroying delicate flowers with ruthless hands."

Halfway through, Dai Changsheng continued with a solemn expression, "And compared to blowing her head apart with a single bullet, I think another death would suit her better.

Gin, you should have some of those poisons Sherry developed on you, right? Why not feed her a pill instead?

If Sherry finds out that her dearest sister was poisoned to death by a drug she developed herself, that scene will surely be very entertaining!"

"..."

Gin and Vodka's lips twitched slightly.

Gin and the others had long known that Snowflake, influenced by Vermouth, despised the Miyano sisters. But wasn't this suggestion a little too vicious?

"Snowflake, if you've got the guts, shoot me dead! You despicable, shameless bas—"

Bang!!!

Before Akemi Miyano could finish cursing, Dai Changsheng struck the side of her neck with a chop, knocking her unconscious.

"You're so damn noisy, always yapping away."

Dai Changsheng curled his lip in disgust, then urged Gin, "Gin, what are you standing around for? Don't tell me you're going soft on a traitor like this?"

Provoked by Dai Changsheng's simple taunt, Gin suppressed the trace of pity he felt for Sherry. He took out a black pill case, removed a red-and-white capsule, and stuffed it into Akemi Miyano's mouth.

As an APTX4869 capsule entered her stomach, Akemi Miyano's rosy face instantly turned deathly pale, and her body began twitching and convulsing uncontrollably.

Rejuvenation

"That's more like it!"

Seeing this, Dai Changsheng nodded in satisfaction. He pulled out his camera again and held it before Gin. "Come on! Take a few pictures of me with this woman as a keepsake. We won't be able to take photos like this ever again."

"..."

Gin's eye twitched slightly. In the end, he coldly spat out one word. "Get lost!"

Gin had always thought Dai Changsheng had been spoiled useless by Vermouth and was far too softhearted toward women. Now, however, he discovered this guy was even more perverted than he was!

"Vodka, let's go."

Although Gin killed without batting an eye, he had no interest in torturing people. He could not be bothered to indulge Dai Changsheng's twisted hobby.

Gin and Vodka soon left. After taking several pictures with Akemi Miyano, Dai Changsheng stuffed the barely alive Akemi Miyano into the trunk of his car and took her to his secret base.

As nightfall gradually descended, Akemi Miyano slowly awoke from her coma, her head splitting with pain.

"I... I'm not dead?"

Akemi Miyano looked around. Her pretty face was filled with disbelief as she stared at the unfamiliar bedroom before her.

"You're awake~"

An unfamiliar voice suddenly sounded. Immediately afterward, Dai Changsheng, dressed in black-and-white casual clothes, walked in from outside the bedroom.

Looking at Dai Changsheng's unfamiliar face, Akemi Miyano could not help asking in confusion, "Who are you?"

"My name is Dai Changsheng. You can also call me..."

Halfway through, Dai Changsheng changed his voice. "Snowflake!"

"Snowflake?!"

Akemi Miyano's pupils contracted sharply. She instinctively clutched the blanket in her hands, while unmistakable fear filled her beautiful eyes.

If Gin had once been the person Akemi Miyano feared most, then after being force-fed the drug, the person she feared most had become Dai Changsheng.

After all, what Dai Changsheng had done was simply too vicious. If she had truly been poisoned to death by a drug developed by her own sister, her sister would surely have felt so guilty that she would want to kill herself.

"Don't be afraid. I mean you no harm. Otherwise, you would already be dead."

Dai Changsheng wore a somewhat teasing smile. "Haven't you noticed that something is wrong with your body?"

Only then did Akemi Miyano notice that her hands seemed much smaller. She hurriedly reached up and touched her face.

Seeing this, Dai Changsheng pointed at the full-length mirror in the bedroom corner. "There's a mirror over there. Go take a look."

With a sense of foreboding rising in her heart, Akemi Miyano could no longer care about being wary of Dai Changsheng. She rolled out of bed in a panic and quickly walked to the mirror.

Reflected in it was a little girl who looked only seven or eight years old, wearing children's pajamas printed with magical girl designs, with long black hair flowing loose over her shoulders.

???

Akemi Miyano blinked her wide eyes blankly and stood frozen for a moment. Then, humiliated and enraged, she shouted at Dai Changsheng, "Y-you pervert, what exactly did you do to my body?"
