However, Rum, this lofty second-in-command, clearly had some misunderstandings about the quality of life of frontline operatives:
"And Gin—when Uzo was still merely 'high school student Jiang Xia,' Gin nearly had him silenced over Sherry. Yet now they got along quite well, and Uzo had even helped Gin deal with quite a few troublesome targets.
"This shows that Uzo wasn't the type to hold grudges. He must have his own standards for choosing whom to kill—I think perhaps he merely believed certain operatives were unworthy of their positions, or sensed That Lord's Killing Intent toward them. That was why he acted when the opportunity arose: remaining loyal to the organization while adding a little enjoyment to his own life."
Curacao: "..." Gin? Didn't you just have a confidant keep an eye out for a psychiatrist for him not long ago? You even mocked Gin for being forced to suspend work for a while after displeasing That Lord. That should have been Uzo's doing too.
Besides, Gin was currently the one in the organization who had the most contact with Uzo. Perhaps Uzo didn't bear no grudges—perhaps he simply felt the time was not right. Before taking revenge, he intended to make full use of Gin first, using him as a stepping stone to climb higher.
Not long ago, Uzo had found a way to get Gin suspended, testing the higher-ups' attitude. Yet the organization had not sent another operative to contact him. Instead, they had Irish fill Gin's position, and everything continued operating as usual. After weighing it up, Uzo had decided it was not the best time to strike at Gin, so he had Gin restored to his original position and, because of that, shifted his resentment onto Irish.
