Chapter 533 - THE SACRED VOW (1/2)
Akira felt a bit of a cold sweat covering her back as she took in the information before her. No explicit records indicated that Bonnie and Clyde were with the Shadow Brotherhood. However, she knew that it was the truth based on her findings regarding the processing of past missions.
Mercenaries did not keep records of their work, and the platforms were secure. However, Zhong Feng showed her how to get past the restrictions and even look at historical information from such clandestine sites.
Moreover, he gave Akira access to some of the backdoors he planted over the years on some of the popular platforms. They allowed her to get into the archives without the difficulty of spending days breaking firewalls or creating a complex identity to gain legitimate access.
After a moment, she took a deep breath.
She did not need to worry about Kaito. Despite his history, he was not considered a danger by the national defence forces. Furthermore, she could already guess the background story behind the Bonnie and Clyde situation..
After the attack in their home, Kaito explained that Venom and the other ȧssailants were unruly mercenaries he locked up after they made some questionable decisions. Ayumi released them during the period Kaito was absent.
She could extrapolate that Bonnie and Clyde were also people he had restrained due to specific reasons. That would explain their absence from the mercenary and demolition scene for two years. If Ayumi let them go alongside the others, they must have chosen a different path, instead of coming after Kaito.
Akira cleared her screen and decided to look at the history of Bonnie and Clyde separately. It was unfortunate that no one knew their real names. However, she could use their images to determine where each of them was before their meeting.
From their messages in the chatrooms for demolition enthusiasts, it was obvious that the two were planning for a romantic explosion. If that was the case, their site would have something to do with the moment they met.
She could not be sure, but the entire hype they were trying to create for their plans meant that they were probably commemorating something. It would be easier to find their target by compiling the individual sightings from facial recognition systems and cross-referencing them.
If she left the room so soon after sitting down, it might draw some attention. She was not afraid that she could not solve the issues, but it was better to avoid trouble.

In the headquarters of Shadow Brotherhood, Kaito was looking at the mercenaries in the room with an immovable severity. He had issued an order for all the people within the city to return immediately for an emergency meeting.
For the moment, the Shadow Brotherhood was not officially disbanded. Therefore, he could still use his authority to force compliance of all people registered under the banner.
