Zhang Tianmiu frowned deeply as he strode through the corridor, his deputy caught up with him from behind. "Captain, I've pretty much got the situation figured out. Sir Agar mustn't have made a mistake; it was indeed Princess Briana Karanshir Miaoxing who took the target away," he said.
He kept up with the other's pace as he continued, "The target entered the Continental League by a stroke of luck, apparently due to Elpaxin staff mixing up his identification tag. The person in question is an apprentice alchemist from Kapuka, which matches what we know."
Zhang Tianmiu stopped in his tracks, reached into his pocket, and fumbled for a cigarette. He placed it in his mouth and struck a match—the flame briefly illuminating his handsome, clean-cut face. He squinted slightly and took a deep breath.
He exhaled the smoke before turning his head and saying, "So, we've lost the target again."
