Chapter 206: Audience. (Part Five)
Klaus Stahlwölfe was there, and their audience was ongoing. After Ushida asked the question of whether they had malice or ill intent, Dante was sure that they were done for, that they were being dragged a trap and would soon get disposed of, but instead, they were taken to the big man himself, making it appear as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened.
’Was I... was I just overthinking?’ He thought to himself. ’No... There is no way it’s that...’
Dante refused to believe Shirogane Ushida could miss a crucial detail while performing one of his interrogations. There was no doubt that he had seen through Mr. Pike and the others, but if that was the case, why would he allow them to meet his charge?
’Is he saving it for later?’
There was always the possibility that he was delaying things for later to avoid bothering his charge. Though their importance was debatable, it doesn’t change the fact that Klaus Stahlwölfe has invited them to his home. If they were to disappear before meeting him, it might create problems later on. On the other hand, once the audience was over, it wouldn’t matter if their existence was erased.
’It sounds logical, but...’
The risk he would be putting his charge in outweighed whatever problem that might occur from some random guests not showing up. Because of that, Dante found it difficult to believe that the head of security would do something like that.
[Dante, we have a problem.]
Volcan’s voice tore through Dante’s thoughts.
