Chapter 537 - THE SHAMELESS DIRECTOR (1/2)
Director Deguchi was listening to the conversation through the com system, and he could hear the derisive tone in Jungle's voice. Moreover, he was deeply ashamed of his supposedly elite team. How could those idiots make such an embarrassing mistake?
He opened the door to the vehicle and began walking into the commercial property. The driver also hopped out quickly and followed him.
”Director Deguchi, this is against protocol.” He shouted as he rushed. ”We should wait until the area is cleared before making an appearance.” .
The driver was also a bodyguard for the old man. He remained in the vehicle with their director so that he could rescue him in case the situation turned bad. If something happened to the old man, things would be a bit tough for the enforcement officers.
”If these idiots did the job right, we would already be on our way back.” Director Deguchi continued walking as he cursed under his breath.
When he was young, he and his comrades would never have wasted so much time to storm a small building. Unfortunately, the relic of a director forgot that times had changed. With the countless levels of monitoring, the officers needed to follow the right procedures.
If they did something illegal during the arrest process, the case would be a bust before it began.
”Do not give us your nonsense. We are coming for all of you.” Director Deguchi told Jungle as soon as he stepped through the door. ”This criminal organisation is not going to keep contaminating my city.”
”Please watch your words. We are a legally registered business that operates in the private security market. Our methods might have been called a little unusual, but we will not take kindly to wild accusations.” Jungle responded.
”You can keep pretending, but you are going down.” Deguchi was adamant. ”Luckily for you, we are only here to look for your boss, Takahashi Kaito. Bring him down immediately before we turn this place upside down.”
”May I see the arrest warrant?” Jungle said.
”I do not need an arrest warrant. I have probable cause to take in that b*stard.” Deguchi was hopping mad.
”We are in a legal society, Grandfather Officer. You cannot go arresting people or searching their premises without the right documentation. As for the probable cause, I do not understand it. Did you hear a gunshot in the building? Did someone scream for help?” Jungle asked.
The director was extremely angry as he faced the younger man after being called grandfather. According to generations, he was at most an uncle to this mercenary. Ptuh! Not that he wanted to hear familiar nicknames from the criminal.
”This is an antiterrorism case, so I have leeway to act. No one will protect you if an incident occurs. Bring down that Kaito.” Deguchi said.
”How is it related to our company or our boss?” Jungle asked.
”The suspected terrorists have been identified as affiliates of your so-called company. Therefore, it is required for the boss to answer some questions.” Deguchi explained.
”I am not familiar with the specifics of what you are saying, but I am getting the general gist of your accusation. And I must say that it makes no sense. Are you saying that a company is responsible for actions taken by its employees long after they leave their job?” Jungle asked.
