Chapter 537 - THE SHAMELESS DIRECTOR (2/2)

Deguchi sputtered while the other officers felt that the argument was reasonable. Even though the Shadow Brotherhood was a criminal organisation, there was no evidence to support this knowledge. Therefore, technically, they were a legal private security business.

”Stop confusing people with your sophistry.” Deguchi almost stomped his foot like a little girl.

He could already see his glory and the respect of his peers floating away. From the general flow of things, he realised that he would not be able to arrest Kaito. He regretted his impulsive behaviour of bringing in a strike team.

As his colleagues said, there was no substantial evidence that Bonnie and Clyde worked with the Shadow Brotherhood. He also seemed to have overlooked the fact that antagonising Kaito would not be helpful to the current crisis.

If he captured Kaito aggressively, the man would not answer questions under threats. He could hold off for a long period, even ȧssuming that he was not bailed out. The city was under immediate threat. He needed the ȧssassin's cooperation.

At that moment, it was like he saw the light. He understood the reasons his fellow directors tried to stop him from coming with guns blazing. And it took a petty criminal to show him the way. He could not bear this realisation.

”It seems like I will have to call in a legal team to deal with this problem.” Jungle said.

Director Deguchi panicked. If the Shadow Brotherhood used their lawyers, there would be no hope of seeing Kaito for the foreseeable future. Everyone knew that Kaito used the fiercest criminal law team in Tokyo.

The old man felt regret again. ”There is no need to get so serious. We are merely inviting Mr Kaito for a conversation. If he could shed some light on his old employees, we would be grateful. After all, Mr Kaito has always been valuable to our national defence forces.”

”…” Jungle.

”…” The main strike team.

”…” The snipers on com systems.

”…” Kaito watching the scene from his office.

The shameless turn by Director Deguchi made everyone speechless. They would not have believed this situation if they did not witness it personally. They could not believe that it was the same man who was cursing Kaito earlier.

As this scene marinated, Agent Kristian Larsen was reviewing information on his tablet with cold blue eyes. He looked a little more seasoned since the operation involving Hu Lei and Dr Harriet Brown. After all, a difficult year had passed in Interpol.

”Are we going to capture Kaito first, Agent Larsen?” One of his team members asked.

”No. If we want to break him before the day ends, we need to target his weakness.” Agent Larsen paused. ”We are going to bring in his girlfriend, Yamazaki Akira.”
