Chapter 542 - SWEET REUNION (2/2)

Most importantly, he had already made arrangements in anticipation of this type of situation.

A little while later, just as the sun was starting to set, someone knocked on the door to the interrogation room. The knock was not too loud, but one could sense some urgency in the tap. Agent Kristian looked at Kaito again before walking to the door.

He opened it and found one of his officers looking at him with apprehension.

”Did something happen? Have Bonnie and Clyde taken action?” Agent Kristian asked.

The officer shook his head and whispered a few words. The volume was law, but Kaito caught a few words of the conversation without too much of a struggle. His cold face changed a little, and a subtle but wicked smile flashed on his face.

Agent Larsen turned from the door with an ugly look. ”It looks like your lawyer is here.”

Kaito stood up and assessed Kristian with derision and his irritating smile. ”Agent Larsen, you have effectively wasted our time together. And here I was looking forward to helping you earn another promotion…”

Kristian almost started hopping around with anger and shame. ”Do not think this is over.”

”It is over. Bring me to my fiancée.” Kaito ordered while straightening his shirt and coat. ”I would like to make sure that she is fine.”

The last few words were said with that hidden threat. Agent Larsen felt defeated. He had found that Kaito was not as stoic and unfeeling as he appeared to the law enforcement world. However, there was no way to take advantage of that weakness.

In the end, the unwilling Interpol agent had to lead Kaito to the other interrogation room. When the door opened, they found Akira sleeping ungracefully on the comfortable, ergonomic chair. She had adjusted the back to lean outwards for a more relaxed sitting position.

When she heard people walking into the room, Akira opened her eyes.

The first person she saw was Kaito. Her eyes, which had initial confusion of sleep, slowly lit up as she looked at him. She brightened up like a blooming flower before standing up. She rushed to Kaito and threw her arms around her.

”Be careful,” Kaito warned her, but there was doting in his voice and eyes.

”Am I still dreaming?” Akira asked as she buried her head in Kaito's chest. Kaito put his arms around her in a warm hug, and she rubbed her face like a cute kitten against his chest.

”What were you dreaming about?” Kaito asked with a teasing smile.

Akira realised that her earlier words exposed her true thoughts. Her chubby cheeks became pink with embarrassment when she remembered her dream. She was Yuki the Sword Princess and Kaito was a rogue who had captured her.

”Nothing!” She shouted, but it came out as a sharp squeak.

”We will discuss this matter at length once we are free,” Kaito said with anticipation.

Looking at the two loving people who had shut out the world, Agent Larsen felt a sour feeling rising in his heart. He did not have anything but his work. He never found time to date properly because he was always travelling around the world.

The envy gave rise to a little embarrassment. He could not believe he was jealous of a criminal.

”I reminded you to be more cautious while outside.” The cool voice of Uncle Taiki filled the small room.

The couple and Agent Larsen turned and looked at Taiki who was being followed by the head of the legal department as well as the executive chairman of the CAB. Taiki looked as calm as always, but the other two looked like a kaleidoscope of emotions.

”What can we do when we meet wild dogs attacking us?” Kaito spoke playfully.

”You have a point.” Taiki nodded. It was indeed unexpected that the series of events during the day would lead to detention by the Central Antiterrorism Bureau. It was tantamount to meeting wild dogs while minding one's own business.

The 'wild dogs' became incredibly angry, but the lawyer and chairman who had experienced harsh threats from Taiki did not dare say anything. They could only accept the situation.

While this awkward meeting was taking place, the computer at Akira's workstation started making pinging noises. No one had touched the computer after Akira was taken away because they were afraid that it was crucial evidence.

Therefore, the pinging sounds made everyone in the entire office startled.
