Bab 217: 41.2 Active Time Maneuver?

Maruki kept his cool. Inwardly, however, he had no idea on how to respond. Shade had been the one to make all the arrangements for their stay back in the Portmaster's office, and he was sure that the others, baring perhaps Moriya and Lady Guidance even knew what truly happened during that time. Of course, while he could simply say it to this interloper, he couldn't do so just for the sake of seeing how he would respond. No. It would be too much of a security risk for him to reveal more than what was already discovered about them.

And knowing that, he knew full well that he had to eliminate this man as soon as possible.
