But on second thought, Gin realized there were so many people at the venue. If everyone from the organization withdrew and Uzo happened to encounter someone else interesting, became engrossed in a different target, and forgot about the mission objective, what then?
"..." Better send him periodic emails to warn him.
Whether in terms of social standing or priority on the organization's Assassination List, Thomas Schindler ranked very high.
So Gin had already reported this plan to That Gentleman.
And the approval he received was: They could hand command of tonight's operation to that promising unconventional rising star and test his potential. If Uzo failed, then punish what needed punishing and remedy what needed remedying.
Gin: "..." Although he absolutely trusted That Gentleman's judgment.
Still, it was undeniable that Uzo's outward appearance was incredibly deceptive. Without actually interacting with him, it was difficult to gauge the guy's true destructive potential.
...But since The Boss had said so, and looking back at all his previous missions, Uzo had indeed never caused any mess that was impossible to clean up. At most, he had wasted some money...
Gin silently took a drag from his cigarette, then slowly exhaled the smoke gathered in his lungs.
A moment later, he turned to Vodka. "Have them pull back and wait for Uzo's further instructions."
Then, recalling something, he sent Uzo the first email meant as a reminder and warning:
[The people have withdrawn. But there is something you should understand: this mission is extremely important. It isn't the sort of "practice" where you can choose freely as before.]
[If you fail, your beloved "directing career" will likely come to an end—no one in the organization's black prison will be willing to serve as your material.]
Less than a minute after sending it, Uzo replied.
