" Kid, Is it true that she ran away from home to meet this guy." The old man asked his son.

" Father, I am certain. My sources say that she is with Benjiro."

" Benjiro? Are you saying he kidnapped my grandkid?"

" W-we don't know it yet. According to the picture, she doesn't seem to be held against her will."

The old man slammed his palm on the table. He was angry because this was not their home turf, which complicated things.

" Father, don't worry. I am sure she is fine."

" Sir, I know them personally; they would not hurt a little girl." Hiroshi, the chief of the embassy, was responsible for London Branch.

He had never met these people, but somehow he got mixed up in this mess. All they know for sure is that their child was with the Rothschild family.

If they didn't handle it delicately, it would lead to severe consequences. Rothschild was not only big here, but they also had strong ties in Japan.

" What do you know? I have been watching that Rothschild kid for months. He is ruthless and efficient. What if he did something to her?"

" Sir, but he is only a kid. I don't think he likes what you are mentioning." Hiroshi tried to justify.

" Can a kid dismantle the powerful Hanson family branch? He also started a firm all by himself. You are severely underestimating them." The old man was adamant with his assessment. In his long years, he had seen countless talents, but Samuel really took the top spot.

" Sir, Someone came looking for you. They specifically asked for you." An employee entered the room and stated.

" Tell them that I am busy. Schedule an appointment if it is not serious." Hiroshi asked him.

" I am sorry, sir, but they came looking for Mr. Kiyama. They are waiting in the lobby."

" How did they know we were here? Did they give you a name?" Abe asked. Only a few people were aware of their location, and that included law enforcement.

They could have arrived through dark channels, which would cause trouble later. Their visit today had nothing to do with their business.

" Yes, Samuel. He said you would understand the rest."

" Putting his head into the lion's mouth, at least he is brave." The old man said with a smile.

" Bring them inside," Abe instructed the employee, who looked toward his boss. Hiroshi nodded to approve.

Now that Samuel was inside the embassy, where the diplomatic law was placed. The most fundamental rule of diplomatic law was that the person of a diplomatic agent was inviolable.

Diplomats may not be detained or arrested, and enjoy complete immunity from criminal prosecution in the receiving state, although there is no immunity from the jurisdiction of the sending state.

Kate took the empty bathroom stand and emptied the contents of her purse. These bags looked cheap outside, but the insides were made of high-density material.

High-density material can block X-rays, and with a hidden compartment, it becomes almost impossible to peak at the contents inside.

She took out several devices and started arranging them. A state-of-the-art listening device with a small digital monitor attached to it. It could isolate and lock on specific sources from a distance of couple dozen meters.

The monitor was attached to the thermal sensor that could show the target location. Such devices were unheard of and generally circulated around military circles.

" Are you in position?" Trent asked through the radio.

" Not yet, I am stationed inside the bathroom, but I think I found a way to sneak closer to the target," Kare replied.

" Don't do anything stupid. Just prioritize your safety."

" Ok, boss."

After ending the short conversation, she took the device and inspected the restroom. There were few people inside, so she waited a couple of minutes. As soon as the last woman left, she jumped on one of the stands.

She was nimble, avoided making any sound, and quickly lunged toward the vents. It was hard because there was no stable ground, but she removed the supporting screws.

After tying the vent cover with a rope, she made her way inside the narrow hole. Pulling back the rope, she placed the lid back on but left out the screws. It would be helpful later when she had to escape.

She barely made it in time and heard the last few sentences of their conversation.

" Yes, Samuel. He said you would understand the rest."

" Putting his head into the lion's mouth, at least he is brave." The old man said with a smile.

" Bring them inside."

" I have confirmation. We have a meet happening between the Yakuza and the Rothschild." Kate informed me as soon as she heard it.

" Ok, hand tight. Good work, by the way." Trent praised her. They were miles ahead of another team, and their superiors would be delighted with the information.

" Do we have any intel on what it could be about?" Kate asked.

" We don't know yet. Don't worry; we will learn soon enough." Trent said as they waited for the second party's arrival.

Samuel, Arthur, Benjiro and Aika headed inside the chief's office. As they predicted, his name did the trick.

" Young master, If anything happens, remember to run out without looking back. I will hold them off for as long as I can." Arthur talked about their contingency plan.

" Wait! I should come with you then; you might need some help." Joyah wanted to accompany them, but Arthur denied the idea.

" Miss, I know you mean well, but this matter has nothing to do with you. I might get reprimanded by the head of the family for putting you in harm's way."

" What about Samuel then? Aren't you putting him in harm's way?"

" Don't worry, teacher. I know her father; he would not act irrationally. We might now be on friendly terms, but I trust his judgment. Grandpa, you could also wait outside if you feel like it."

" Boy, I think you don't know much about me. It would take at least a hundred men to bring me down." Arthur showed rare arrogance.

" I highly doubt that." Samuel wanted to refute, but Joyah strangely supported Arthur on this.

" You don't know about Sir Arthur? If you had known, you would not be saying these things."

Samuel needed clarification, but they reached the office door and time was of the essence. Aika and Benjiro acted like timid rabbits led into the lion's den. They were completely cut off from reality.

" Hey, Both of you. It will be alright, trust me."

A loud shout resounded as soon as they entered the room; Benjiro was already on the floor while Aika was faced down while waiting for the inevitable lecture.

" BENJIRO! how dare you take my little princess all the way here without informing anyone?"

" I AM SO SORRY, BOSS! PLEASE FORGIVE ME!" He shouted while beating his head on the floor.
