Chapter 528 - LIGHTING UP THE CITY



Minister Shimada stood up without preamble, shocking Akira. If the chair behind her were not an ergonomic swivel chair, she would have probably brought it to the ground. The ugly expression on the older woman\'s face was a little frightful.

"What do you mean by intel? What do you mean by terrorists?" Minister Shimada barked out. 

"Ma\'am, please calm down, and I will brief you on the situation. We have only received information about this situation." The person on the other end of the line spoke quickly. 

"Get on with it." She said. 

"We were monitoring the usual channels through our security software, and we saw some suspicious chatter on one of the boards. We have not confirmed whether the threat is completely real yet, but I can say that several points are suspicious.." 

"The posters are new users on that web channels for demolition experts. That means that the chat room is used by people who use explosions, ma\'am." The man explained. 

"I know what a demolition expert is. Continue with the report." Minister Shimada was beyond irritated. 

"I am sorry, ma\'am. Anyway, the tag user name is bonnie&clyde, and the person had only been registered for about a month on the site. At first, it looked like nothing, but we realised that the person received very fast approval from the administrator." The man continued. 

"Do you believe that these people are the Bonnie and Clyde who disappeared from the scene almost two years ago?" Minister Shimada asked. 

"We suspect as much. We are looking at their history and trying to find out more as we speak. If it is them, they might have something big planned." The person planned. 

"What exactly did you flag in the chatroom?" 

"The user wrote, \'tonight we will light up the city with our love\'. That is the quote." The man said. 

"Keep investigating and inform me as soon as you find anything." Minister Shimada said before hanging up. 

She looked at Akira with her shrewd eyes. "Since you are already here, why don\'t you help me with a case? Do not worry. I will not make a pregnant lady do much. But I understand that you are a good hacker." 

Akira narrowed her eyes a little. "What is this about?" 

"It seems that some two people who are obsessed with explosions might be planning to blow up something tonight." Minister Shimada said with a tired voice. 

The first thought that came to Akira\'s mind was that Kaito was in Tokyo. Although the city was large, the probability that the terrorists would blow up a place near him was not negligible. Her heartbeat was a little faster due to apprehension. 

Then, she realised that she did not only have Kaito in the city. She had plenty of good friends in Tokyo, including Maya, Double M, the Chief, Raiden and countless other colleagues and acquaintances. She could not let anything happen to any of them.

"I will need a computer to be of any use. We might need to go to the Immortal Sword Valley to get a good setup." Akira said. 

"Let me make arrangements and see what we can do." Minister Shimada did not quibble in an emergency. 

Akira took out her phone and looked at Kaito\'s contact for a while before opening the messaging app. She thought about warning him about the presence of a terrorist in the city. However, she realised that she did not have any concrete information. 

If she told him to leave the place he was, he might end up in a place the terrorist was. She felt weak and helpless. No, she would be able to do something once she had a computer on hand. For now, she just needed to focus on solving the problem.

After a lot of deliberation, she wrote and sent a text. Her heart was filled with guilt for not telling Kaito where she was. She had only informed Uncle Taiki, and with the change in flight plans, she felt like she could not begin explaining. Everything was now in chaos.

[I miss you. Let\'s have breakfast together tomorrow.] 

She put her phone away with a heavy heart. 

In another part of Tokyo, Kaito was listening to a report from another of his loyal subordinates, a woman who was most gifted in intel. The woman did not sign up as a mercenary officially, but she was a semi-member of the Shadow Brotherhood. 

Feather, as she liked to be called, was a little unusual in her appearance, attitude and behaviour. She did not like being tied down by anything normal, even employment as a mercenary. So, Kaito let her do whatever she wanted as long as she reported important information.

Of course, he did not rely on her for menial things because Feather was not always on point in understanding what important meant in some situations. But usually, she came through when it was something that mattered. 

"When I heard you were back, I thought you would probably want to know what those two firebugs were up to." Feather said. 

The jiggling of her menagerie of colourful jewellery was distracting, but Kaito was not paying attention to the noise. He was looking at the report Feather had given him. Calling it a report was a bit of a stretch because it was a piece of paper in the shape of a butterfly with things written using a green pen. 

"Continue," Kaito said. 

"The two of them have built a big bomb. Or maybe, multiple big bombs. Judging from the number of supplies they acquired, it is not going to be something small. And they are planning to blow it up on the anniversary of their meeting." Feather said. 

"And when is that?" 

"If I am not wrong, it is tonight." Feather said. 

Kaito felt his heart sink because he was most familiar with the madness that Bonnie and Clyde incited in one another. He thought of Akira. It was a good thing she was safely in Mountain Ridge. He picked his phone to check in on her. 

When he saw her message, his lips curled up involuntarily. He hoped he could recapture Bonnie and Clyde and return to Mountain Ridge. Then, he saw a text from his uncle. 

[Keep an eye on Akira while she is in Tokyo. Travelling at this point is a little strenuous, so be cautious.]

Kaito\'s face lost colour.
