บท 527: A TOUCHING SPEECH

Minister Shimada looked at Akira for a long moment before speaking. She was hoping that the meeting would go in a better direction, but Yamazaki Akira was a stubborn girl. She did not want to compromise, even though she had no reason for quitting the Immortal Sword Brigade. 

The matter concerning someone eyeing Kaito as a sacrificial lamb for his career on the international scene was true. However, she had planned to use the information and its resolution as a reward rather than a threat, if only Akira were not so mule-headed. 

"It is not impossible to give this person an alternative plan of action. He owes me a favour, and I am privy to a lot of information that he could use to advance his career. Of course, I am not a philanthropist. I will require something in return." She said without pause.
