After finishing speaking, the screen closed.

At the same time, the angry cursing of Viscount Will could be heard.

"Damn it, using hostages to force His Majesty the Holy Emperor to abdicate, these despicable terrorists, using such lowly means."

"Well, calm down, it's not the time to despair yet."

Katsuragi Reimi's unexpectedly calm tone left the two men speechless in surprise.

To this, Katsuragi Reimi simply said slowly,

"I said it just now, we have the intelligence on those guys."

Viscount Will immediately calmed down, it must have been his pride acting up.

Even a young girl was so calm, how could he let anger ruin the bigger picture?

As he calmed down, he nodded in response.

"Yeah, you did say that."

"Just like I said earlier, you should remember the previous airplane hijacking incident."

"Ah, you mentioned it just now."

"Exactly because we caught the criminals, we know their true motives."

"The criminals' true motives?"

"Yeah, they caused so much trouble, probably to force the Holy Emperor to abdicate, whether it's demanding money, making outrageous demands, or trying to crash the plane."

"Could it be..."

Viscount Will seemed to understand something.

"Yeah, the hijackers and the criminals from earlier are the same group."

"Which means, they occupied this place because the hijacking failed?"

"No, it's not that simple."

Katsuragi Reimi narrowed her eyes.

"What's going on?"

"It's like this, even if the hijacking was successful, they would still occupy this place, after all, whether it's the hijacking incident or this incident, they are probably just part of their plan, although these are just speculations, it's a bit late to mention it now."

"So their goal isn't just to make His Majesty the Holy Emperor abdicate?"

In response, Katsuragi Reimi just shook her head.

"No, their goal is indeed that, but in the end... they're just being used by certain people."

"Being used?"

"It's obvious that there are other people behind them, directing and planning for them, the whole plan is very meticulous, even if the previous plan failed, it won't have much impact on the next one."

"You mean, their purpose is far more than just making His Majesty the Holy Emperor abdicate?"

"Yeah, at least the reasons are different from these terrorists, these terrorists are probably just doing it for the good of the country, but the person instructing them wants to use this point to achieve their own goals, the motives of these two are completely different."

"What is the purpose of the person behind them then?"

"At this stage, it's still unclear, but it can be certain that if we can catch these people, we should be able to obtain further clues, but..."

Katsuragi Reimi stopped here.

"But?"

"According to our speculation, the person behind them is likely someone with high status and influence in your country."

"Someone with high status and influence?"

"Yeah, during the landing, someone from your country had tried to deceive us and make the plane crash."

"What? How could this happen? Who is that person?" Viscount Will exclaimed in astonishment, feeling an overwhelming anger.

"I don't know who that is, after all, I only remember his voice, and... I assume he has already been punished," replied the other person.

"Punished?"

"Yes, because he was involved with terrorists. As a terrorist, if the mission fails, they are usually killed."
