Marine Confidential Talks

Marine Headquarters · Admiral's Office

The door—closed.

"Click."

The instant that sound fell, it was as if all the air had been sucked away.

Borsalino stood in the center, his usual air of relaxation utterly gone.

He spoke.

"Vice Admiral Rock—"

"Was sent away and disappeared."

A dead silence fell for an instant. Then—
