Chapter 529 - THE HEARTS OF LOVERS

Without wasting time, Kaito dialled Akira's number. He wanted to find her location without delay. Even if he could not be sure about the location of Bonnie and Clyde and their plans, he would feel happiest with Akira at his side. 

The call did not go through. The robotic voice indicated that Akira was out of the service range. Kaito felt apprehension and helplessness fill his heart as he redialled. She had only sent him a message about thirty minutes earlier, so how could she have gone out of service?

Feather looked at her boss, who had an unpleasant expression on his face and decided to speak up. 

"The paths of life are complex, but we will always end where we are meant to be." She said with the wave of her hand, causing her countless bangles to jingle. 

Kaito took a deep breath as the call failed again. He could not keep redialling.. He needed to prioritise finding Bonnie and Clyde. He could spend all his time calling Akira, but the most reliable way to keep her safe was to make sure that the wretched pair was not outside, causing trouble. 

"Do you have an inkling of the location of those two?" He asked. 

"They are careful. I have been trying to find them for a while, but they are quite careful and secretive." Feather sighed. "I am always a step behind them. But it is also like they are hoping that I will not lose track of them."

Kaito frowned at this information. "Explain your meaning clearly." 

"I think they could have hidden their actions a little more carefully. They have not been out of the scene for that long, so they are familiar with a lot of new counter-surveillance methods. They seemed to be leaving breadcrumbs here and there." Feather had an uncharacteristic look of seriousness in her eyes. 

"What is their intention?" Kaito asked, but he was mostly talking to himself. 

"If you ask me, they are planning on blowing up something important. But it is not possible to narrow down things, at least for me. They will probably target either a building that has a lot of cultural, commercial or political significance. They are not a low-key pair." Feather theorised. 

Kaito nodded in agreement. 

"That is a possibility. Bonnie and Clyde have always been a little narcissistic. If they have made a masterpiece, they will try to show off as much as possible. But I think it is more likely that their target is something of significance to them personally." He responded while tapping on the desk with an index finger. 

"What do you mean?" Feather asked with sparkling eyes.

"You said it is their anniversary. If they are celebrating it, they will go to a place that has something to do with their romantic history. Their choice is likely to be personal rather than practical. It is what I would do." Kaito said in a low voice with his brows scrunched. 

"I have heard of your new life. I understand congratulations are in order. You have become a family man." She said, trying to sound casual. 

Unfortunately, she spoke a little unnaturally because she was too anxious. She could have sent her findings in another way, but she appeared at the Shadow Brotherhood headquarters so that she could look for an opportunity to gossip.

Surprisingly, Kaito did not give her trouble for her nosiness. He even smiled a little with some self-satisfaction. 

"Thank you." There was some smugness before his expression changed. "Try to find out if Bonnie and Clyde have been sighted anywhere in the city. We cannot guess where they are going to blow up, but we might get some information by tracking their movement." 

It was unrealistic for them to find the chosen location by the couple through guessing. Their best bet was finding out their general movements. After all, they would probably require some time to set up the stage for the explosion. 

As a precaution, the two were probably setting up the bomb at the moment in their chosen location. The afternoon was the ideal time because they could sneak into any building after lunch. Moreover, it was difficult to notice anything unusual when people were tired. 

Kaito guessed they would set their explosion in the evening or night because it would have the most impact. Unlike normal terrorists, the two were probably not aiming to kill a lot of people. They wanted to show off their bomb. 

"That might be difficult if they want to be successful. They will probably disguise themselves well to avoid detection. My networks are strong, but I cannot do anything if the people are too good at concealment." Feather felt a little helpless about this matter. 

She was good at finding out information by keeping a good relationship with people who saw more things than anyone could imagine. She did not shun technology, but she was an ȧsset because of her human relationships. 

However, these people gave her information if they saw something happening. She did not expect them to be nosy and investigate. Usually, if they saw something interesting while going about their business, they told her about it.

"Don't worry too much about that," Kaito said. "I am sure that they will not hide too deeply. You can use the normal images you have of them." 

"Why do you think that? This is probably the greatest project of their life. How can they take a chance?" Feather was incredulous. 

Kaito smiled with a certain deviousness as well as some unreadable emotions in his dark eyes. "No one wants to look bad on their anniversary. They will not hide completely. Everyone will try to look their best when spending a special day with their beloved." 

Feather almost turned into a stone as she realised that her boss had turned into a complete romantic. He was like a doting husband who understood the hearts of lovers instead of being a cold-hearted ȧssassin. 

Luckily, her mind and spirit were quite flexible.
