His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 537 - THE SHAMELESS DIRECTOR

Director Deguchi was listening to the conversation through the com system, and he could hear the derisive tone in Jungle's voice. Moreover, he was deeply ashamed of his supposedly elite team. How could those idiots make such an embarrassing mistake? 

He opened the door to the vehicle and began walking into the commercial property. The driver also hopped out quickly and followed him. 

"Director Deguchi, this is against protocol." He shouted as he rushed. "We should wait until the area is cleared before making an appearance." 

The driver was also a bodyguard for the old man. He remained in the vehicle with their director so that he could rescue him in case the situation turned bad. If something happened to the old man, things would be a bit tough for the enforcement officers. 

"If these idiots did the job right, we would already be on our way back.." Director Deguchi continued walking as he cursed under his breath. 

When he was young, he and his comrades would never have wasted so much time to storm a small building. Unfortunately, the relic of a director forgot that times had changed. With the countless levels of monitoring, the officers needed to follow the right procedures. 

If they did something illegal during the arrest process, the case would be a bust before it began. 

"Do not give us your nonsense. We are coming for all of you." Director Deguchi told Jungle as soon as he stepped through the door. "This criminal organisation is not going to keep contaminating my city." 

"Please watch your words. We are a legally registered business that operates in the private security market. Our methods might have been called a little unusual, but we will not take kindly to wild accusations." Jungle responded. 

"You can keep pretending, but you are going down." Deguchi was adamant. "Luckily for you, we are only here to look for your boss, Takahashi Kaito. Bring him down immediately before we turn this place upside down." 

Jungle kept a polite demeanour even though his eyes were cold. 

"May I see the arrest warrant?" Jungle said.

"I do not need an arrest warrant. I have probable cause to take in that b*stard." Deguchi was hopping mad. 

"We are in a legal society, Grandfather Officer. You cannot go arresting people or searching their premises without the right documentation. As for the probable cause, I do not understand it. Did you hear a gunshot in the building? Did someone scream for help?" Jungle asked. 

The director was extremely angry as he faced the younger man after being called grandfather. According to generations, he was at most an uncle to this mercenary. Ptuh! Not that he wanted to hear familiar nicknames from the criminal. 

"This is an antiterrorism case, so I have leeway to act. No one will protect you if an incident occurs. Bring down that Kaito." Deguchi said. 

"How is it related to our company or our boss?" Jungle asked. 

"The suspected terrorists have been identified as affiliates of your so-called company. Therefore, it is required for the boss to answer some questions." Deguchi explained. 

"I am not familiar with the specifics of what you are saying, but I am getting the general gist of your accusation. And I must say that it makes no sense. Are you saying that a company is responsible for actions taken by its employees long after they leave their job?" Jungle asked. 

Deguchi sputtered while the other officers felt that the argument was reasonable. Even though the Shadow Brotherhood was a criminal organisation, there was no evidence to support this knowledge. Therefore, technically, they were a legal private security business. 

It was unreasonable to arrest them just because Bonnie and Clyde could have links to the business. Also, they had read the brief, and Bonnie and Clyde were not active for over two years. It was a little strange to ask Kaito to answer for their sins. 

"Stop confusing people with your sophistry." Deguchi almost stomped his foot like a little girl. 

He could already see his glory and the respect of his peers floating away. From the general flow of things, he realised that he would not be able to arrest Kaito. He regretted his impulsive behaviour of bringing in a strike team. 

As his colleagues said, there was no substantial evidence that Bonnie and Clyde worked with the Shadow Brotherhood. He also seemed to have overlooked the fact that antagonising Kaito would not be helpful to the current crisis. 

If he captured Kaito aggressively, the man would not answer questions under threats. He could hold off for a long period, even assuming that he was not bailed out. The city was under immediate threat. He needed the assassin's cooperation. 

At that moment, it was like he saw the light. He understood the reasons his fellow directors tried to stop him from coming with guns blazing. And it took a petty criminal to show him the way. He could not bear this realisation. 

"It seems like I will have to call in a legal team to deal with this problem." Jungle said. 

Director Deguchi panicked. If the Shadow Brotherhood used their lawyers, there would be no hope of seeing Kaito for the foreseeable future. Everyone knew that Kaito used the fiercest criminal law team in Tokyo. 

The old man felt regret again. "There is no need to get so serious. We are merely inviting Mr Kaito for a conversation. If he could shed some light on his old employees, we would be grateful. After all, Mr Kaito has always been valuable to our national defence forces." 

"…" Jungle.

"…" The main strike team.

"…" The snipers on com systems. 

"…" Kaito watching the scene from his office. 

The shameless turn by Director Deguchi made everyone speechless. They would not have believed this situation if they did not witness it personally. They could not believe that it was the same man who was cursing Kaito earlier. 

As this scene marinated, Agent Kristian Larsen was reviewing information on his tablet with cold blue eyes. He looked a little more seasoned since the operation involving Hu Lei and Dr Harriet Brown. After all, a difficult year had passed in Interpol. 

"Are we going to capture Kaito first, Agent Larsen?" One of his team members asked. 

"No. If we want to break him before the day ends, we need to target his weakness." Agent Larsen paused. "We are going to bring in his girlfriend, Yamazaki Akira."
