The faces of the other heads of the Central Antiterrorism Bureau changed. They looked at Director Yojima with expectation for an explanation. If the current case had caught the attention of Interpol, things were indeed going to become more and more complicated. 

"I do not mean that Interpol agents are literally in the CAB right now." Director Yojima chuckled. "One of my people just flagged the arrival of Interpol in an airport just outside of the city. It seems that they are travelling under the radar." 

The other heads sighed in relief.. Interpol sent in people to diverse places around the world for different reasons. It was unlikely that the agents were coming because of the Bonnie and Clyde matter. So far, the CAB had kept a tight lid on things. 

"There is no need to worry. They are probably coming after another bureau or have an independent case. It is probably not a cause for concern for us." One department head dismissed Director Yojima with a wave of her hand. 

"I would be inclined to agree with you on other occasions, but I have learned about the identity of the lead agent in the team." He paused. "It is Agent Kristian Larsen." 

The other six people in the room showed blank faces. They received reports about the cases undertaken in the CAB and the general ministry of defence, but they were not involved in scouring for information like the information department. 

Therefore, they would not remember the name of an Interpol agent. 

Director Yojima was frustrated by the lack of reaction from his colleagues. He had used a dramatic pause for nothing. 

"Agent Larsen has some history with Kaito. I found out about it when I was in charge of monitoring the activities of the mercenaries for a short period. The clash between them was not direct or explosive. However, from what I learned, Agent Larsen tried to get Interpol to issue an arrest warrant for Kaito." He explained. 

"In essence, Kristen Larsen has always been very interested in all cases involving the Shadow Brotherhood and Kaito. I am not sure what happened between them, but if that agent is in the country, he has probably caught wind of our case." 

"That is just pure conjecture. We confirmed that the threat from the chatroom was from the real Bonnie and Clyde just a few hours ago, and we have only confirmed that the two people are connected to the Shadow Brotherhood. I do not believe that Interpol moved this fast." The law depart head said. 

Director Yojima thought about the situation. He did not look down on himself or his staff members. However, he knew that it would have taken much longer to find that connection without the help of that young woman who was brought in by the minister. 

Speaking of which, he needed to apologise for his earlier behaviour. His eyes drifted to his comrade from the security department. He was the one who told him some nonsense about Yamazaki Akira. If he knew her capabilities, he would have treated her like a god. 

"You can believe whatever you like. It is not like it will affect my work anyway. But mark my words, Interpol is here for this case. Prepare yourselves and focus on your tasks. If that bomb blows up, this will be an international case. We are running out of time." Director Yojima said before leaving the room. 

While these heads were leaving the conference room, Director Deguchi had already left the bureau with the elites of his strike team. He meant to take down Kaito and everyone around him in one fell swoop. He could not give up the great opportunity before him. 

His face was serious as he gave instructions through the com systems. However, the driver in the armoured vehicle could see a twinkle in the old eyes. He was excited about the operation. 

When they arrived at the headquarters of the Shadow Brotherhood, Director Deguchi did not get out of the vehicle. He was in charge of enforcement operations in the CAB, but ultimately, he was an old man. He could not participate in the fieldwork directly. 

He sat down while watching his team fan out and find spots for sniping and responding to potential attacks. A team of Six walked to the door of the building. The team leader walked to the front while the others prepared measures in case of resistance. 

Naturally, they were expecting a fight. The mercenaries were not going to allow their leader to be taken by the law enforcement without resistance. 

"Are they refusing to open up the door?" Deguchi asked through the com system as he watched from the vehicle. "Break it down. There is no need to be polite with criminals." 

The excitement in the old man's voice was brimming. He was practically bouncing in his seat. He wanted the takedown of the greatest mercenary to be dramatic. Otherwise, how would he retell the tale to his old comrades and bask in the glory? 

The leader acknowledged the order and beckoned to two of the officers with a battering ram. The Shadow Brotherhood did not respond when they were asked to open the door, so it was a justifiable use of force. 

With a mutual nod, the two officers pulled back the ram and aimed it at the closed door. When they thought there would be a loud impact as the ram hit the thick door, they heard a click, and the double doors opened. 

Unfortunately, the people with the ram could not control the momentum. The force of the item pulled them forward and caused them to rush forward in an attempt to manage the ram. Still, the heavy ram caused them to fall as they tripped over a welcome mat. 

The other officers lifted their weapons as they watched their companions falling ungracefully. The person who opened the door looked at the officers without fear. His calm demeanour was not like an ordinary person facing countless weapons. 

"Oh, I did not know that officers of the law had become so presumptuous. May I know why you are pointing guns at an unarmed man? We are operating a legal business here. There is no need to be aggressive. Let us talk like civilised people." Jungle asked with a polite smile. 

The CAB officers became angry at being insulted, especially because they had already suffered a loss. The leader of the main team was particularly embarrassed because the two people who fell were injured by the ram. 

"You have failed to respond to the request to open the door. You have also caused injuries to the officers of the law." The man said without lowering his weapon. 

Jungle laughed lightly. "This is not a house. As I said, it is a business. Moreover, most of our staff is absent from the building due to external operations. It took some time to get to the door. If you were a little patient, you would have received a warm welcome." 

"As for your injured officers, they should take up their grievances with the laws of physics. I do not need to explain to you Newton's laws of motion, do I?"
