Chapter 43
“Instructor Kinuan is provoking us.”
I deliberately used the word ‘us’ when speaking to the Commander of the Imperial Guard. I relayed Kinuan’s impure words to him exactly as they were spoken.
“......Luka, do you remember when I told you that Kinuan was assigned an unofficial mission in the past?”
I nodded in response. Unofficial missions left no records. Because of that, even the Commander of the Imperial Guard did not have a clear grasp of Kinuan’s true nature.
Even he was not someone who could access all information. Like me, he was merely following orders from those above.
“The same goes for the terrorist, Rick Silva Núñez. It seems Rick and Kinuan primarily carried out unofficial missions around the same time. There must be some connection between the two.”
“One is an instructor, the other a wanted fugitive.”
“By now, you must be wondering. If Kinuan is so suspicious, why have we left him alone all this time?”
It was true. I was incredibly curious. But survival took priority.
“If there is a reason I shouldn’t know, I will shut my ears to it.”
The Commander of the Imperial Guard crossed his arms and closed his eyes. He leaned back against his chair in a relaxed manner before opening them again.
