Ze Anzhi ignored the outstretched hand and took a step back.
"Oh, I see. My position was appointed by Prince Yuhito, and I serve as the head of the Intelligence Division simply because the Special High Class suffered heavy casualties in the last attack. So, I really didn’t know that Miss Nan Zao was my superior. But may I ask, what is Miss Nan Zao's military rank?"
No one took the hand that Nan Zao Yun Zi extended. When Ze Anzhi mentioned the Prince's appointment and then inquired about her military rank, Nan Zao Yun Zi was nearly furious. Standing beside Asuka Ryo was Eagle Commander Kinrin, so she dared not act out and could only respond, "I am a police inspector, so I do not hold a military rank."
"Miss Nan Zao, I do not know how you came to hold your position in the Special High Class, but I am certain that your attitude towards our Gendarmerie's Major is quite troubling. I hope Officer Nan Zao can explain this. As a Colonel managing the Gendarmerie under the Special High Class, how could I be unaware that a head of the Intelligence Division has emerged from the Special High Class? Therefore, Miss Nan Zao, you need to immediately prove your identity!"
Takatsukasa Chikurin, a Marquis and essentially of a rank that could meet with officials at a high level, observed as Asuka-kun, who was also a close aide to His Royal Highness and an Empire Hero, faced this seemingly dubious head of the Special High Class with disdain. With a sense of justice, Takatsukasa Chikurin reached for his Japanese sword, placing his hand on the hilt as if to imply that if Nan Zao Yun Zi's explanation was not timely or satisfactory, many souls would soon find themselves at his mercy.
Nan Zao Yun Zi was not particularly attractive and had an affected demeanor, which made her disliked not only by Ze Anzhi but also by Takatsukasa Chikurin. Just as the Japanese sword was about to be drawn, a hand blocked Takatsukasa Chikurin's grip on the hilt.
"Your Excellency, please calm down. It is my student who has been rude; I ask that you forgive her for my sake."
A short bald man with a prominent nose and deep lines running to his mouth stood in Major General's uniform, placing himself between Nan Zao Yun Zi and Takatsukasa Chikurin.
As a Major General, even someone of Takatsukasa Chikurin's status could only grunt in response as he sheathed his knife. After all, there were many people present, and His Royal Highness would arrive shortly; he could not afford to act recklessly now. In another setting, however—well, Takatsukasa Chikurin could have easily slain Nan Zao Yun Zi before speaking with this Major General.
Of course, if His Royal Highness were here, it was highly likely that the overly protective Prince would have taken down both individuals.
Seeing Takatsukasa Chikurin retract his sword, the short Major General immediately smiled broadly. "Eagle Commander, I am Tohihara Kenji, currently serving as the commander of the Hiroshima Ninth Brigade. This Miss Nan Zao is my student who just completed an undercover mission; I only transferred her to Harbin recently and she just started yesterday. So you see, Eagle Commander may not be aware of this."
Upon hearing Tohihara Kenji's name, both Takatsukasa Chikurin and Ze Anzhi cursed inwardly.
Takatsukasa Chikurin cursed at this old fool for daring to extend his reach into Harbin’s Special High Class—the security organization close to the Prince.
Meanwhile, Ze Anzhi cursed this short man who had been thoroughly reviled across generations!
Tohihara Kenji was a notorious Spy Leader; he had orchestrated events involving the Empress Dowager and the Mukden Incident leading to Manchukuo.
No wonder Ze Anzhi held such disdain for someone named Nan Zao Yun Zi; it turned out they were both damned Oni spies!
Ah! It seemed like they had found someone to pin the blame on!
Just when he was worried about finding an opportunity to deal with Tojo Old Devil, now this infamous Spy Leader had appeared in Harbin—this provided an excellent excuse to take action.
Having pieced everything together in his mind, he immediately formulated a plan.
"Excuse me, Your Excellency Brigade Commander," he began smoothly. "Your troops are stationed in Hiroshima; how did you manage to leave them behind and come all the way to Manchuria? Furthermore, how did you circumvent Gendarmerie Headquarters to mobilize personnel from the Special High Class? I'm quite curious about how your student’s employment procedures were handled; I hope you can clarify this matter for me."
