After all, he knew for a fact that Gerald could easily handle those people.
“Even if you say that… All the countries have sent their best men over to participate, despite the fact that this isn’t even an overly formal competition. With that in mind, I’m not really sure how well I’ll do… Getting an above average rank is good enough for me…” muttered Aiden who was well aware that among his teammates, he wasn’t really all that strong.
Though he bore the title of ‘King of Soldiers’, he had earned it from the many battles he had been in. However, now that he had to abide by the event’s rules and regulations, he wasn’t quite sure how well he’d fare…
Moving back to Gerald, he was currently seated in the interrogation room, his legs crossed and a cigarette in his hand. With even a cup of tea placed before him, anyone who didn’t know that this was an interrogation room would’ve surely thought that Gerald was here as a guest…
Regardless, after clearing his throat, Ichiro turned to look at Gerald before asking, “Now then… Could you elaborate a little about your conflict with Mr. Adler, Mr. Crawford?”
“It’s nothing serious, really… Back when I was in Yanam some time ago, I got into ‘a bit of trouble’. I’m assuming that Adler came looking for me to get revenge,” replied Gerald as he puffed on his cigarette.
“I see… Did you meet him before he disappeared…?” asked Ichiro as he jotted everything down. As for what Gerald had done in Yanam, his actions were so impactful that even Ichiro could more or less guess what Gerald had done there.
“Of course I did. After all, he came looking for trouble with us with so many other special forces agents,” replied Gerald in a casual tone.
“You say that, but we still need to carefully investigate this! After all, he’s a foreign participant and we’ll have to take responsibility for his disappearance! How else are we going to explain all this to the Yanam army? It doesn’t help that Yanam’s already elected Carter Lucab to be their army’s new leader! Though they usually say a new broom sweeps clean, I’m afraid that this incident isn’t going to end that easily!” said Ichiro in dismay as he placed his hands together.
Throughout his many years investigating missing people cases, there would always be clues left behind to solve the mysteries. Unfortunately, Adler truly seemed to have vanished into thin air… Hell, had it not been reported that Adler had gone missing, nobody would’ve even known that the man existed in the first place!
Regardless, the fact that they still hadn’t been able to find a single clue after all this time irritated Ichiro to the point where he wasn’t able to eat or sleep properly in the past few days…
