Gray Cloak Man, Rule Keeper—just hearing these names reveals the profound meaning they possess.
Grey, between black and white, implies someone who is neither black nor white or perhaps both; it's someone who deals with both sides. At least, that's what Gao Yang thinks.
Yarebin mused, "Grey Cloak Man? Rule Keeper, Guardian. There's something intriguing about these names."
Glewatov made a gesture and said gravely, "Grey Cloak Man is a colloquial term, commonly used within this organization. As for the name of the organization, well, it's called the Kingdom, surely a shortened form, but that's all I know."
Yarebin looked at Glewatov and said, "I didn't know that. How did you find out?"
Glewatov seemed a bit embarrassed and hesitant, but soon he spoke apologetically, "Uh, it was 1986, the sixth day after the Chernobyl nuclear incident. I remember clearly; I had orders to investigate a high-ranking official suspected of leaking secrets abroad, an official of the intelligence system."
