Chapter 549: A VALUABLE HOSTAGE

Kaito did not panic at the exposure of guns and the escalation of the situation. He had expected that these people would be prepared for the possibility of being captured before their bomb could explode. It was a good thing that they had already revealed their cards. 

He looked at his watch. There was still twenty-five more minutes before the moment the explosive could blow up. 

He was only worried about Akira. He could not hear her breathing through the com line, so she had probably taken it off to make a call to the CAB. It would be a good thing if she did not learn about the immediate situation before he managed it. 

Otherwise, she would come up directly. 

In the vehicle, Akira was trying to talk with a distracted Minister Shimada. The older woman was at the Crystal Plaza in the mobile command centre watching the footage of the building. Her heart was in her throat as she looked at the explosive.
