Chapter 360
Fwoosh!
The loud beeps attracted all eyes to Andrius.
Even Luna found it annoying.
“You, over here.”
The security guard noticed Andrius had removed all his personal belongings and put them on the plastic tray, yet the scanner beeped when it scanned him. He frowned and brought Andrius to the side for a
second check.
Beep! Beeeeep!
The scanner beeped loudly again.
The security guard frowned harder. He looked at Andrius cautiously and said, “Take off your jacket.”
Andrius did as told.
The security guard scanned him the third time, but the scanner continued to beep.
“Put him through the X–ray,” said the security captain after he had a look at the situation.
Andrius was brought to a bigger machine for a fourth scan.
When the monitor displayed the scan results, the security guard behind the scanner gasped. He looked at Andrius in shock.
“What’s wrong?” the captain asked.
The security guard said, “He… He… has a lot of bullets in his body!”
The words shocked the captain. He moved behind the monitor to have a look and when he saw the result, he immediately called for backup through the walkie–talkie.
“Requesting backup here at the checkpoint. We have a suspect, seemingly armed and dangerous.”
Florence citizens were forbidden from possessing firearms.
Andrius had a dozen bullets and bullet shrapnel in his body, which made him a dangerous person.
The security at the train station was surprisingly tight.
After the captain requested backup, another group of security guards arrived in just half a minute and they all pointed their guns at Andrius.
“I’m afraid you have to come with us.” The captain was cautious when he tried to apprehend Andrius.
“Wait!” Luna realized that the situation was exacerbated beyond their control. She stepped in and tried to explain to the security captain. “Sir, is this a misunderstanding? He…”
“He has bullets in his body.” The captain stopped her and explained, “We must identify him first before we can let him go.”
It was no longer a problem with passing security.
In Florence, there were only two types of people who would possess bullets: police officers or soldiers, or
notorious criminals.
“Uh…” Luna was stunned. She looked at Andrius in shock.
The poor guy from the mountains had bullets in his body?
Was it a joke?

If the security captain said he had bullets in his body, then it must be true. Nevertheless, it was not the time to discuss whether he has bullets in his body or not.
“I want to come along.”
Andrius was surprised by her request. The woman somehow instinctively tried to protect him in front of the group of security guards.
What a rare scene.
Andrius felt a hint of warmth in his heart. He said, “Don’t worry. I’ll be fine. Just wait for me here.”
“Are you really going to be okay?” Luna asked worriedly.
“Yeah.”
“Then, be careful.”
Luna remained worried. She added, “And don’t act recklessly. Calm down and try not to start a fight”
She knew Andrius as a violent and hot–tempered person, and she was afraid that he would start a fight if the security guards gave him a hard time. The security guards were not the likes of Mr. Longman. If Andrius beat them up, things would get a lot worse.
“I got it.”
Andrius was then brought to the office.
“Give me your ID.”
Andrius handed it over.
“Andrius Moonshade?”
The security guard then ran checks using his ID in the system.
A few seconds went by.
The security guard could not help but stare at Andrius curiously.
“What’s the matter?” the security captain asked curiously.
“He…” The security guard explained, “I can’t identify him in the system.”
Andrius instantly felt helpless.
Florence usually categorized confidential matters into three different categories: secret, classified, and confidential
Confidential information was further classified into three different ranks: S–rank, SS–rank, and SSS–rank
Andrius‘ personal information was one of the few SSS rank information.
Since there was only a handful of SSS–rank information in the country and once leaked, it would cause a national security problem, the higher–ups in the army decided to omit it from common security firms and checkpoints.
The local police stations, security checkpoints in train stations, or airports would not have access to SSS- rank information. The system would simply return a null result.
“This…
