His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Chapter 542 - SWEET REUNION

Kristian felt a little helpless when he saw the careless attitude displayed by Kaito. He had always thought that there would be a day he would break the assassin and bring him to justice. However, the more he thought about it, the more he felt like the possibility of his dream coming true was low. 

"I know that you are not involved with the bomb threat. However, you should understand that the other authorities will not see the situation so clearly. They might decide to take a sweeping action and destroy all related persons." Kristian decided to use a soft approach first. 

Kaito laughed. "I thought after all these years, you had made some improvements, Agent Larsen. But you are as naïve as you were when we first met." 

The frivolous attitude was like a spear in Kristian's heart. He knew that the trick of presenting a concealed threat to Kaito would not work.. However, he liked following the right protocols when interrogating suspects. 

But Kaito tempted him to forget everything he learned. 

"We are dealing with a serious situation which could escalate into an international incident. Are you sure that you want to remain nonchalant?" Kristian pressed on. 

Kaito looked back at the other man. "If you would like to know something, then you should ask the question directly. You should know that I can be very forthcoming when I am in the right mood." 

Agent Larsen felt a little embarrassed because he believed that Kaito was alluding to the major case which had led to his first big promotion. Kaito had eliminated all the culprits in the human trafficking ring and left the relevant information for him to file a good report. 

He believed that Kaito wanted him to remember their history and act appropriately in response. However, he was an incorruptible international police agent. 

"Do not try to play tricks on me." He retorted at Kaito. 

Kaito looked at Agent Larsen with critical eyes. No matter how he assessed the agent, the man did not seem to have grown at all. He was impulsive, and his mind lacked the right flexibility for interrogating suspects. 

Furthermore, he was a little too emotional for an unknown reason. 

Kaito looked away and began tapping on the table in the same staccato fashion as if he was counting down to something. Kristian looked at the offending hand and wondered if there was meaning to it. Was it a nervous tic or was Kaito communicating something? 

In general, Agent Kristian was a good officer who performed well in other cases. However, when it came to Kaito, he would become clumsy. For him, Kaito was a dark mark in history. And the more he tried to correct that mark, the worse the situation became. 

Unfortunately, he did not know that the person he considered his nemesis considered him an incompetent buffoon. Kaito did not take him seriously. 

The silent Kaito was like an immovable rock. He ignored Kristian and kept tapping on the table steadily without pause. The entire situation was annoying and brought up feelings of inadequacy and general resistance in the agent.

"I have your girlfriend in custody." Kristian blurted out. 

He planned on keeping this matter a secret so that he could use it as a trump card if the need arose. Kaito's pregnant girlfriend was the only thing Kristian had that made him believe that Kaito had a soft, human side. 

Even though he was a hardened criminal, he would not abandon his family. 

There was an almost imperceptible shift in the tap on the table. However, Kaito did not break out into an outburst as Kristian expected. Instead, the assassin's face became colder. His eyes turned into icy dark marbles that had a penetrating power. 

He stared down at Agent Larsen even though he was seated. 

"I hope you are treating her well," Kaito said calmly. "If I find a single strand of hair missing from her head, I will be very angry." 

The threat was soft and without the heat of a man filled with wrath. But it chilled Kristian to his core. He could feel the icy blade of Kaito's killing intent focusing on him. He was almost certain that he would stop breathing if he held that gaze. 

"She is not a suspect in the case." Kristian clarified quickly. 

He did not know when he had become such a wimp that he would explain himself in front of a criminal. But he could not bear the tense situation. Furthermore, it was already a move in poor taste for him to take in Akira to deal with Kaito.

"I hope that is the case," Kaito said coolly. 

A big part of him wanted to run out of the room and find Akira immediately, but he knew that he needed to be patient. If he acted rashly, he would harm Akira and Little Precious. His priority was to protect them and make sure they could depend on him. 

He also knew that it was unlikely that Akira would suffer at the hands of the ministry of defence. Agent Larsen might be unaware, but his little fiancée was a highly valued member of the ministry of defence. She might be an unorthodox agent, but she was influential enough to protect herself. 

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.
