Chapter 539 - THE WORST CASE SCENARIO (1/2)

After getting the appropriate authorisation and clearance, Agent Kristian Larsen got two of his people to follow him to the IT department where Akira was working. His face was serious and tough, making him look unapproachable.

But in his heart, there was a little anticipation. He was looking forward to meeting the woman Kaito chose to spend his life with. He had never pictured Kaito as the settling down type.

Furthermore, Kristian's curiosity was perked because Kaito chose someone linked to the ministry of defence. This point made Agent Larsen a little cautious. He did not know if Kaito was using the woman to advance his evil plots and protect himself. If that was the case, he already pitied her.

But that did not mean that he would go easy on her.

Kristian's resolve to bring Kaito to justice was firm..

The IT department was abuzz with activity as the intelligence officers followed their leads on the terrorists. Even though they had not yet discovered the location or the true identity of the firebugs, they were making headway on other fronts like monitoring the new activity in the clandestine chatrooms.

When Agent Larsen opened the door, the numerous eyes in the room turned to him and his officers. His appearance was unexpected, and he stood out as a stranger in the CAB. A cold silence fell as people paused in their activities.

As an Interpol agent, Kristian was not unfamiliar with standing out as the centre of attention. He had even made an address at the forefront of the entire Interpol organisation after solving a couple of major cases that earned him his promotions.

His triumphs had made him comfortable with dealing with people, regardless of status. In the past, he would have been a little self-conscious. But now, he could use his fierce aura to suppress people. Without a glance at irrelevant personnel, he and his two followers walked directly to Akira.

”We would like you to come with us,” Kristian said with authority, but he did not raise his voice.

Akira spun her chair around and looked at the man before him. He was dressed in crisp black clothes, complete with a long overcoat. His blond hair was a little messy, but it did not detract from the intensity of his appearance.

However, Akira would not lose out in terms of having a powerful aura.

”Who are you?” She asked calmly.

The first thing that Kristian Larsen noticed was that Akira was pregnant. It was hard to miss the prominent belly, especially when she was seated and leaning back. He was shocked enough to hesitate before speaking.

When he looked at her face, he saw a harmless looking face that had the softness and gentleness of a cute girl. However, the displeasure on her face could not be concealed. Kristian felt even more awkward because he was sure she had noticed the strange look he gave her stomach.

”I am Kristian Larsen. I am here on Interpol business.” He paused. ”You are a person of interest in a case. Please cooperate and come with me.”

It was likely that he would look like a villain, regardless of the underlying situation. He cursed the intelligent officer who had failed to mention this critical matter in the report. He would have prepared for this issue more appropriately.

For example, he would have brought a female officer for the arrest instead of two men. Unfortunately, he now looked like an evil bully with two helpers.

”What is this concerning?” Akira asked with a lifted brow.

”I think it would be best if we talked about it in private,” Kristian said meaningfully.

Akira could already guess that the issue had something to do with Kaito. It was likely that Interpol had made the connection between Bonnie and Clyde and the Shadow Brotherhood. It seemed like she could not escape being embroiled in this matter.

She planned on standing up to follow the man. However, before she could do anything, Director Yojima rushed to Akira's workstation at the corner. He did not treat Akira as a casual person who came to play around during a crisis anymore.

She was the golden goose with the power to stop the attack and even gain him some merits. He was not a vain person, but he liked enjoying the pŀėȧsurė of stepping on his fellow heads of departments. When they called his people nerds, he would whip out a few medals.

”Agent Larsen, I have heard a lot about you.” He said politely, suppressing the urge to ask what was happening directly. ”Could I ask what you would like from Ms Yamazaki?”

Kristian Larsen looked at the middle-aged man with an ȧssessing eye. There was nothing unusual about Director Yojima. He did not stand out and would blend into a crowd. Agent Larsen did not place a lot of importance on him.
