His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Suzuki was the centre of attention, and she felt good about being in the limelight. 

Every time she went to the different bureaus under the ministry of defence, she would be treated like an invisible ghost. Most people did not seem to see her, and no one would even greet her. This was not to say that they treated her impolitely. 

It was just their attention would always be on the minister. 

She was just a shadow. Everyone was aware that they had a shadow, but no one thought about their shadow except in special circumstances. Like when they were sitting around a campfire…

Even when she was alone, no one would specifically ask about her. They would talk to her like she was not an independent individual. Their every word would be about Minister Shimada. 

Aide Suzuki did not think she was petty for wanting a little recognition as a human being. And to be honest, when she got the job, she thought everyone would be fighting to flatter her and get close to her for the sake of her connection to the minister. 

Unfortunately, she never got any gifts or even verbal compliments. 

It was, later on, she came to know that her boss was not like a normal political figure. She was a soldier for many years and had a direct and incorruptible method for operating, even though she was also quite shrewd. 

More importantly, everyone knew about Minister Shimada's direct way of operating. Why did they need to flatter a small personal assistant when they could put forward their request with the minister's office for consideration?

It was after a while that Aide Suzuki realised that her position was not as prestigious as it seemed. So, she changed her strategy and used her position to flatter big bosses around Minister Shimada. Her goal was to impress someone better and jump ship. 

Or she could just promote herself on the political scene and find a new job in a higher position. 

But this never happened. 

And she was about to lose her cushy job because of that dreadful Akira and her pettiness. She would lose her high salary and the minimal work she did. Despite her position as an aide, she did not do much except organise meetings and manage a few tasks. 

The minister had secretaries to handle hard jobs at her office. 

She regretted her petty behaviour at the airstrip when they went to pick up Akira. If she had treated Akira like a big shot, things might not have ended up badly for her. But she also hated Akira for making the minister doubt her abilities. 

She intended to make her unable to show her face in the CAB. 

"If you have nothing to say, do not interrupt us." Director Yojima was annoyed and snapped at Aide Suzuki. 

The woman, who was finally enjoying the attention she thought she deserved for the first time, snapped out of her euphoric trance. She looked at the impatient face of the head of the department. She turned and looked at Akira's face with a threatening sense of superiority. 

Akira looked back. Her eyes were cold, but she retained her face filled with cold dignity. She did not look afraid. Suzuki realised that she might not be aware that her clever disguise had fallen. The euphoria rose in her again. 

"The minister discovered that Ms Yamazaki has strong ties to the Shadow Brotherhood." Suzuki decided to deal the blow directly. "It looks like she is the girlfriend of the leader." 

The words caused a strange silence to fall in the room. Agent Kristian Larsen had not made an effort to stop the woman because he wanted her to hear what she had to say. He was a little surprised that confidential information was leaked to this random person. 

If he was not wrong, she was a civilian assistant to Minister Shimada. She was not qualified to find out that information. And even if she found it by accident, she should not do anything about it. Exposing the details could be considered an act of treason. 

"Is this true?" Director Yojima asked. 

Akira had a calm expression. "Yes." 

The people in the office were completely silent. However, in their hearts, they were disappointed because they lost all faith in Akira's skill. Her discovery of information was no longer impressive because she had probably been fed intel by her boyfriend. 

They were also curious about the punishment Akira would receive. 

Director Yojima was calm. "Alright. You can go with the Interpol officers. I do not know your intentions of coming here, and it is not in my purview to investigate. However, if you cause harm to my people or the citizens we protect, I will not let it go." 

Akira was amused by the threat, and a small smile formed on her face. It was a cute smile, but it felt a bit mocking to Director Yojima. He did not think she took his threat seriously. It was annoying and infuriating. 

Suzuki, who expected a more dramatic scene, was disappointed by the lack of a blow-up. Shouldn't the people in the office be outraged and mock Akira? She could not believe that people would be so forgiving to someone who had colluded with a criminal. 

What she did not know was that the agents of CAB were cautious when it came to handling intel. The issues they dealt with for the ministry of defence were not like gossip or casual drama. They were matters that affected the fate of the country and the world? 

They did not dare to comment about Akira.

More importantly, she was brought in by the minister. It was unlikely that Minister Shimada did not know about Akira's relationship with Kaito. Their feelings were mostly of disappointment because they did not think that Akira was a hacking genius anymore. 

Even if they felt betrayed, they did not have the right to contribute to the conversation. People who talked too much in the ministry of defence found themselves unemployed, in prison or dead. The office workers turned back to their computers silently. 

A few moments later, Minister Shimada appeared at the door with two officers behind her. Her eyes were cold and unfeeling as she looked at her aide. She could not bear to think that the woman was a part of her department. 

"Arrest her!" Minister Shimada ordered. 

The two national defence officers walked to the small crowd around Akira's workstation with clear intent. 

Suzuki Taira looked at Akira with gloating. Despite the minister's protective attitude towards Akira, she would not protect a traitor who was exposed to the entire ministry. She had to protect her reputation first to avoid problems in her political future. 

Akira was amused by the clown standing before her. 

This person did not understand the situation she had fallen into without care. It was the first time that Akira had seen an audacious person who dared to dig a pit and jump straight into it. More importantly, she did it in front of so many witnesses, that she could not take it back if she wanted. 

The two officers walked to the group and held Suzuki Taira by her arms. Their grips were tight, so the woman could not help wincing because of the discomfort. However, that could not be compared to her annoyance at the idiot officers. 

"What is the meaning of this? I am not the one you are supposed to arrest." Suzuki shouted. "You should listen to the orders clearly, or you will never get anywhere in life." 

Minister Shimada came up behind the two officers and looked at the struggling Suzuki with cold eyes. "Then, let me ask you Ms Suzuki, who should be arrested instead of you?" 

"Are you kidding me?" Suzuki did not lower her voice. "Arrest the traitor. That woman over there is colluding with a criminal and is even willing to give birth to his bastard. Why am I the one being arrested." 

Akira was not a person who would cause unnecessary farce, but she could not stand aside while someone insulted her Little Precious. She walked to Suzuki and looked at her coldly. No one stopped her, including the Interpol agents.

She lifted her hand and slapped Suzuki with an inordinate amount of force. The slap used the full power of the samurai. It caused the face of the woman before her to turn to the side. Akira repeated the process and landed five solid slaps on the woman.

"Watch your mouth. Next time, I will directly pluck out your tongue. Think before you speak. Another person might not be as kind as I am." Akira said. 

"You b*tch!" Suzuki shouted. "I will sue you. I will sue you. You are in a government office. There are cameras everywhere, and I have witnesses to prove that you attacked me." 

Minister Shimada looked at her embarrassing former aide. "All I saw is an officer of the national defence forces helping subdue a traitor who was resisting arrest." She turned to the officers. "You should make sure that she handled through the right processes for employees who have revealed government secrets." 

"No, no. I refuse to accept this. Why are you protecting her? Why? Is it because she is rich?" Suzuki continued shouting. 

"Cover her mouth." Minister Shimada said. "She might reveal more crucial intel." 

With that, Suzuki was dragged out of the room, unwilling and tearful.
