Early the following morning, Akira received a call from the Chief. The old man was quite excited as he greeted Akira. As usual, he asked about her health and well-being, but it sounded a little perfunctory to Akira in comparison to his usual pedantic ways. She frowned a little as she responded to the questions. 

"I have some good news." The Chief finally got to the urgent matter. 

"What is it?" Akira asked.

"The person in charge of the Immortal Sword Brigade, in other words, the top boss wants to meet you." The Chief said with barely contained excitement. 

Akira lifted a surprised brow. "That is unexpected." 

She had heard about the top of the food chain boss. However, she had never met this person. Though the government worked with the Immortal Sword Brigade, it was a strange relationship. The government did not like being associated with their work too much. 

Most of the missions they undertook were sensitive and would cause legal problems if they were exposed. For example, an international incident could arise if other countries discovered that an unrelated government was interfering with their politics. 

The big boss was definitely someone in the orthodox government, so it was strange that they would want to meet openly.

"I also did not think that the person will agree to meet with you when I mentioned your matter." The Chief said. 

"What exactly did you say?" Akira asked. 

She had asked the Chief to help her meet with the higher-ups so that she could negotiate her complete detachment from the Immortal Sword Brigade. She did not think it would lead to the final boss wanting to meet her. 

It could cause her more problems. 

"I told her you were on the verge of breaking open a case that could change everything. She said she has long been watching you. She would like to discuss your situation in person." The Chief was almost bursting with excitement. 

However, he did not dare tell Akira that it was possible that the final boss was thinking of promoting her and putting her in charge of the Immortal Sword Brigade. Based on what the person implied, Akira would be his boss. 

He did not feel oppressed by this thought. 

He was fine with living in the Immortal Sword Valley as the Chief with his son. Ultimately, he stayed in the valley because he wanted to ensure that his son was safe and happy. If he went higher up the ladder, he might have to leave the safe haven. 

It would be fine if he were to leave alone, but his son might be in danger as a result. The child's mother had a complicated background. It would not do if that maternal family found out about his son. They might even take him away. 

Therefore, he felt it was pretty good if he could have a good boss like Akira. He knew her strength, her mind and her heart. She was the most suitable for holding a position of power. 

"When does she want to meet me?" Akira asked. 

She was a little apprehensive about meeting this final boss, but she could also be able to turn the situation to her advantage. Ultimately, when negotiating, it was better to deal with the most powerful person on the spot. 

"Well, about that…" The Chief chuckled a little awkwardly. 

"Say it!" Akira's face darkened.

"She is expecting you in the afternoon. You cannot blame me. She always has a very tight schedule, and I did not want you to lose the opportunity by telling her that you could not come to Tokyo." He responded a little pitifully. 

"Is that all?" Akira asked. 

"That is all." He said firmly. "It is a short plane ride. And I know your person was spotted in the city. Isn't it good for a husband and wife to be together?" 

Akira felt so annoyed that she simply ended the call. The Chief had taken a lot of liberties, so he had to be plotting something that could attract trouble to her. However, she smiled a little when she thought about giving Kaito a surprise. 

Since she could not do anything at the moment and the matter was decided, it was better if she went to Tokyo immediately. Once she managed to talk to that boss, she could have a clear plan for her life as an agent of the Immortal Sword Brigade. 

Everything was already in place for luring out and destroying the people involved in creating Watch. She just needed to wait for the New Year to pass and Vladimir Romanov to travel to the country for the meeting. 

At that time, they could capture everyone in one fell swoop. 

She went downstairs after booking a flight and found Taiki at the table. She sat down and looked at him for a long while. It was strange how life played out. In the past, if she heard about this man and knew his role in taking away Kaito for a few months, she would have considered him a lifelong enemy. 

However, after knowing him, she felt like he was part of her family. He could be a little stiff and even cold. Moreover, he would nag her on occasion, but she could not deny that he was not a person with a bad heart. 

"I am going to Tokyo." She said. 

"You should not be travelling in your current condition. More caution is crucial during this sensitive period." Taiki responded with a creased brow. 

"It is an unavoidable trip. Anyway, Kaito is in the city, so we will meet up and return together when the time comes." She replied with a smile. "What are your plans?" 

Taiki's creased brow became even tighter. "I want to keep an eye on the movements around the city. If some people were able to break into the property, some major players might be coming to town. If you must travel, you must be as low-key as possible." 

He would have preferred to go with Akira to protect her, but the information he gathered about the mercenaries around Mountain Ridge concerned him. He was worried that the people in the shadows would plan something big and give them a rude surprise when they returned. 

It was good to be a little more cautious.
