Chapter 15 - Partners In Crime

Looking at Ren's grinning face, the middle-aged president shouted, "Guards! Come here! Mr. Ren Alcantra and Ms. Rina Alcantra has committed a grave crime, lock them up immediately!"

Crash!!!

The doors to the meeting room were kicked open and military guards entered the room uniformly, each of them holding an assault rifle.

They soon surrounded the meeting room and aimed the barrel of their guns equipped with flashlights at the officials.

More precisely, to those who did not support the president.

"Well, it looks like you are prepared Mr. President."

Ren, who was still sitting in a relaxed manner, said to the middle-aged president.

"Of course! It's only to be expected considering that there is a risk of offending the great 'Clairvoyant Tactician'."

The president said with an all-knowing expression on his face, looking annoyingly boastful.

Hearing what the president said, Ren blushed in embarrassment.

The president became furious again, thinking that Ren wasn't taking him seriously and tried ordering the guards to restrain him.

"Hihi~"

However what stopped him was a melodious giggle, ringing around the room like the pleasant sound of bells ringing.

The president's forehead dripped with sweat due to the fact that he heard this giggle beside his ears.

Following that was a slender arm which slowly and gradually wrapped around his neck. He also felt something pushing against the temple of his head.

"That cringey alias still makes my little heart beat rapidly~"

It was Rina.

Unknowingly, she appeared behind the president and wrapped her arm around his neck, all the while putting a pistol against his temple.

While Ren was attracting all their attention earlier, Rina sneaked to the president's side by going under the long table.

"What the… do you know what you are doing Mr. and Mrs. Alcantra!?!?"

Shouted the agitated president, clearly afraid of being killed mercilessly.

"If you had only let us leave earlier, then we won't have to resort to… some rough means."

Rina said in a carefree voice as she shoved the pistol on the president's temple, which made the middle-aged man wince in pain.

"What's that smell…"

Questioned the frowning Rina as a stinky smell assaulted her nose.

She looked around and as her sight passed by her hostage, she saw something wet that stained the middle-aged man's pants.

"Pfft! Hahahahaha~"

"Did you really just pee in your pants, mister president?'

All the people in their room could not help but take a peek at the president's pants, some of them even giggled. This included the guards in military uniform.

Looking at the people who saw his embarrassing situation, the middle-aged man could not help but look away and avoid eye contact.

"I didn't expect our president to still pee in his pants at his age… Do you still wet your bed too whenever you have a nightmare?"

Facing Rina's ruthless teasing, the president was furious and was clearly on the verge of breaking down as seen on his expression.

A few minutes of uncomfortable silence where only Rina's laugh could be heard passed by just like that.

Her laughs gradually came to a halt.

Seeing this, Ren who was still relaxing in his seat and not moved by the events that happened, said in a powerful voice.

"President, playtime's over. Make the guards drop their guns."

Hearing Ren's command, the president who still had his pants stained with pee, became uncomfortable.

However, he ordered after a while.

"Drop your guns…"

"But president…"

"I said drop your guns!"

Shouted the middle-aged man who was clearly panicking.

"You can let me go now right?"

He continued in a hopeful, pleading voice.

"Not yet, we must first make sure that we will be able to leave safely."

Rina said calmly.

Although the president was perplexed, he had no choice but to follow them.

Soon after that, they first made the officials who did not support the president leave in order to ensure their safety.

Although they weren't saints, Rina and Ren knew that there was a chance that they would be useful later.

After the only ones remaining in the meeting room were them, they slowly walked towards the parking lot while still pointing a gun at the president's temple.

"Well Mr. President, what exactly was the information that the United Nations had hidden for themselves?"

Ren tried asking their hostage— their guest for some information.

Expectedly, the middle-aged man kept silent and was not moved. He only looked at the couple with eyes full of hatred.

Soon enough, they arrived in front of their car. They knocked their hostage out and proceeded to enter their vehicle.

"Why not kill him?"

Rina asked in annoyance.

Ren held her hands and said gently, "We don't know whether the president is an important pawn or not, so we can't blindly kill anyone lest we annoy the masterminds behind them."

"Besides, we aren't in their sight yet, they won't take us seriously which would buy us more time in order to prepare."

Ren continued as he gently pulled Rina and kissed her cheeks.

Broom~ Broom~

He started the car after their mini lovey-dovey session, and drove off.

"But is this fine? We can only rely on ourselves."

This was what Rina asked but her expression was clearly not that worried at all.

Ren glanced at her and grinned toothily as he said, "Well, it's not as if it is our first time."

Rina giggled and hugged his arm, enjoying the breeze of wind.

"Well then, please take care of me. Oh great Clairvoyant Tactician~"

Flick~

Rina said in a teasing manner which earned her a light flick in the forehead from Ren.

They treated this event as a simple road trip deep inside their hearts.

As Rina and Ren dealt with the matters on their side, the dumbstruck Zen was looking at Arthur with wide eyes.

He was speechless at Arthur's so-called "not foolish mission" and couldn't help but stare in his eyes.
