Chapter 540 - THE TRAITOR (2/2)

Akira was amused by the threat, and a small smile formed on her face. It was a cute smile, but it felt a bit mocking to Director Yojima. He did not think she took his threat seriously. It was annoying and infuriating. ;

Suzuki, who expected a more dramatic scene, was disappointed by the lack of a blow-up. Shouldn't the people in the office be outraged and mock Akira? She could not believe that people would be so forgiving to someone who had colluded with a criminal. ;

What she did not know was that the agents of CAB were cautious when it came to handling intel. The issues they dealt with for the ministry of defence were not like gossip or casual drama. They were matters that affected the fate of the country and the world? ;

They did not dare to comment about Akira.

More importantly, she was brought in by the minister. It was unlikely that Minister Shimada did not know about Akira's relationship with Kaito. Their feelings were mostly of disappointment because they did not think that Akira was a hacking genius anymore. ;

Even if they felt betrayed, they did not have the right to contribute to the conversation. People who talked too much in the ministry of defence found themselves unemployed, in prison or dead. The office workers turned back to their computers silently. ;

A few moments later, Minister Shimada appeared at the door with two officers behind her. Her eyes were cold and unfeeling as she looked at her aide. She could not bear to think that the woman was a part of her department. ;

”Arrest her!” Minister Shimada ordered. ;

The two national defence officers walked to the small crowd around Akira's workstation with clear intent. ;

Suzuki Taira looked at Akira with gloating. Despite the minister's protective attitude towards Akira, she would not protect a traitor who was exposed to the entire ministry. She had to protect her reputation first to avoid problems in her political future. ;

Akira was amused by the clown standing before her. ;

This person did not understand the situation she had fallen into without care. It was the first time that Akira had seen an audacious person who dared to dig a pit and jump straight into it. More importantly, she did it in front of so many witnesses, that she could not take it back if she wanted. ;

The two officers walked to the group and held Suzuki Taira by her arms. Their grips were tight, so the woman could not help wincing because of the discomfort. However, that could not be compared to her annoyance at the idiot officers. ;

”What is the meaning of this? I am not the one you are supposed to arrest.” Suzuki shouted. ”You should listen to the orders clearly, or you will never get anywhere in life.” ;

Minister Shimada came up behind the two officers and looked at the struggling Suzuki with cold eyes. ”Then, let me ask you Ms Suzuki, who should be arrested instead of you?” ;

”Are you kidding me?” Suzuki did not lower her voice. ”Arrest the traitor. That woman over there is colluding with a criminal and is even willing to give birth to his bastard. Why am I the one being arrested.” ;

Akira was not a person who would cause unnecessary farce, but she could not stand aside while someone insulted her Little Precious. She walked to Suzuki and looked at her coldly. No one stopped her, including the Interpol agents.

She lifted her hand and slapped Suzuki with an inordinate amount of force. The slap used the full power of the samurai. It caused the face of the woman before her to turn to the side. Akira repeated the process and landed five solid slaps on the woman.

”Watch your mouth. Next time, I will directly pluck out your tongue. Think before you speak. Another person might not be as kind as I am.” Akira said. ;

”You b*tch!” Suzuki shouted. ”I will sue you. I will sue you. You are in a government office. There are cameras everywhere, and I have witnesses to prove that you attacked me.” ;

Minister Shimada looked at her embarrassing former aide. ”All I saw is an officer of the national defence forces helping subdue a traitor who was resisting arrest.” She turned to the officers. ”You should make sure that she handled through the right processes for employees who have revealed government secrets.” ;

”No, no. I refuse to accept this. Why are you protecting her? Why? Is it because she is rich?” Suzuki continued shouting. ;

”Cover her mouth.” Minister Shimada said. ”She might reveal more crucial intel.” ;

With that, Suzuki was dragged out of the room, unwilling and tearful.
