Several guards in uniform stood by the counter in the lobby on the first floor, speaking with the messenger who had come to report.

Leroy's heart skipped a beat. When he had arrived, there had only been the shopkeeper and a waiter-no guards. When had they arrived?

The messenger was none other than Michael, accompanied by three others. Upon seeing Leroy, his face twisted with fury.

"Mr. Stellwyn, what is the meaning of this?! Did you try to assassinate Commander Sinclair?" he snarled.

And with Icarus' skill, even if they were prepared for him, they could only have prevented the mission from succeeding. They couldn't possibly have captured him.
