"Don't move! You are under arrest!"
The police department located in the Far East, perhaps the efficiency of executing tasks was declining year by year, but this time the situation was indeed a bit different.
The person in the lead, after entering the mall that had just been robbed, did not immediately set his sights on the victims, but instead immediately looked at the white-haired, red-eyed woman. Her name, it seemed, was Skirk?
Just like the other woman named Jingliu, she seemed to have suddenly appeared on this land of the Far East, and there was absolutely no information about her before.
Based on this point alone, this official knew that some big shot must have secretly changed their identities, which was why no information could be found.
Or rather, with his current rank, he couldn't find any useful information... But so what? This operation had a big political figure standing behind them, so even if something really happened, they wouldn't be afraid at all. Because this operation was a death order! In any case, they had to take the other party away!
"Eh? Why are you arresting us?"
"Aren't the robbers those people lying on the ground? They're the ones who just attacked the mall!"
Shizuku and Stella were completely stunned; they never imagined that not only the robbers but they themselves would be taken away as well.
Ikki and Arisuin seemed to intend to offer an explanation, but the person before them gave them no chance, intending to take them away by force.
Because the person's identity clearly belonged to the Far East official authorities, it meant Ikki and the others couldn't fight back; otherwise, there would surely be terrible consequences. After all, their status was merely that of students.
Perhaps with their backgrounds, they could resolve this matter, but the process would take time and wouldn't yield immediate results.
However, just as the surrounding men were about to move, their eyes suddenly rolled back, and they collapsed to the ground, unconscious.
"Eh? Teacher Skirk?"
"Did you actually do it? They are official personnel, after all; isn't this a bit bad?"
Facing the students' inquiries, Skirk did not respond, merely looking at the officer with cold eyes, seemingly waiting for his next words.
However, the officer merely clapped his hands, and even more fully armed men ran in from outside, surrounding the five in the center so tightly that even a fly couldn't get through.
"Why are there so many people?"
"What on earth is going on?"
Ikki had never thought of making an enemy of the Far East, and Stella was also reluctant, as it would inevitably cause diplomatic issues between the Kingdom of Vermillion and the Far East.
Arisuin's background was with the resistance, and he was an undercover agent planted in Hagun Academy; he certainly couldn't draw attention to himself at this time. Finally, Shizuku...
The girl had already started making a phone call, intending to seek help from her family. If her father stepped in, it could surely be resolved immediately.
But the cold voice coming from the phone caused Shizuku's heart to instantly freeze over...
"Sorry, Shizuku. I will not get involved in this matter. Allowing your teacher to be taken away is the greatest help to us."
Itsuru Kurogane's voice was devoid of warmth. Although he regarded Shizuku as his daughter and hadn't abandoned her like Ikki, he remained the iron-faced head of the family, acting only for the sake of interest.
"How could it be like this?"
Shizuku felt somewhat indignant and simultaneously worried.
Her father was someone of significance in the land of the Far East, yet even he couldn't intervene in this matter...
Could there be some conspiracy behind this?
"I'm sorry, we are also just acting on orders. Please cooperate with our work."
The officer still made no move, continuing to look at Skirk with indifferent eyes. Even knowing he was facing a Blazer, there was no fear in his heart, as if he were a cold humanoid machine.
"If we fail, those who come to invite you in the future will only be soldiers even more fully armed than us."
Without a doubt, this was a naked threat.
These people only carried conventional weaponry, yet they still committed such a bold act...
"Is someone behind you planning to move against me?" Skirk gazed expressionlessly at the armed personnel and continued, "If they want to come, let them. They only need to pay the price of their lives."
As a top-tier powerhouse, Skirk naturally feared no one's threats. Even if the Far East region truly sent its entire army, she could face them alone until every last one was cut down!
Monsters certainly lack humanity, but humans don't necessarily have it either.
God knows what the people behind the Far East intended to do by capturing her...
If it were just for questioning, they could have made a phone call or even asked on the spot, but they chose the most aggressive approach, directly dispatching official personnel for an arrest.
Could they want to take her for experiments?
Other things were fine, but the word 'experiment' touched a nerve.
Based on this point alone, Skirk could not let them go. She would surely drag the hidden person behind the scenes out from the shadows!
"No other choice then, move out!"
Beep beep beep—!
Just as the officer was about to give the order to move, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang. This sudden turn of events caused everyone's movements to stop.
"What do you want with me?"
"Stop your mission and withdraw your team immediately."
An old voice came from the phone, likely belonging to a very elderly man.
"Who are you?"
As a direct subordinate, he naturally couldn't just listen to anyone who called; otherwise, what use would they be?
"Nango Torajiro. With your status, you should know what this name represents."
"..."
Upon hearing the name of the 'War God,' the officer went noticeably silent. He knew of the Desperadoes and Torajiro's status, but even so, he had to carry out his orders.
"I'm sorry, I received a direct order from Lord Tsukikage, which must be completed no matter what. If you have any objections, Lord Nango, you can raise them directly with Lord Tsukikage."
However, upon hearing the name 'Tsukikage,' Nango Torajiro's voice became noticeably incredulous, because he couldn't possibly not know what those two words represented.
"Tsukikage? The Prime Minister?"
Then, Torajiro fell silent.
"Give your phone to Skirk; let me speak with her."
Subsequently, Skirk took Nango Torajiro's call...
"I beg of you, please do not go on a killing spree!"
"If you start a massacre here, the identity I prepared for you will definitely become void, and your peace at Hagun Academy will be gone!"
"After the matter is over, I will certainly bring people to apologize to you. For now, please follow them and leave..."
Nango Torajiro's concerns were not without reason, so he could only lower his posture to plead with Skirk, then quickly go find that Tsukikage...
Although a price in blood would surely be paid afterward, it was still better than the Far East being wiped out!
"..."
Skirk glanced at Ikki and the others, seemingly weighing the pros and cons, but then she spoke loudly, clearly wanting everyone around to hear.
"I can go in."
"But coming out won't be so easy..."
"If the response afterward does not satisfy me, then this island..."
"Will no longer have a reason to exist!"
