Chapter 177 – (Episode 177) 27. Pirates

(Episode 177)

The party moved to Singapore on a C-130J Hercules transport plane from Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan.

As planned, after having a simple lunch at the base in Singapore, we headed straight to ‘Diego Garcia’.

Diego Garcia is one of six islands located in the leadern Ocean called the Chagos Islands, and is currently British territory and is home to a base under the US Navy’s 5th Fleet.

“The United States is great, I thought there was a base in the middle of the leadern Ocean.”

Jennifer Thompson, sitting next to Myeong-shik Han, smiled and rubbed his thighs.

“Thanks to that, I can come and go quietly like this without leaving immigration records.”

“It is, but it is so boring.”

You can travel while tasting special meals from the first class of a civil aircraft or the spacious and comfortable seat of a luxury private plane to the stewardess.

I am feeling the limit of my patience since I have already been on a military transport plane that has uncomfortable seats, let alone convenient facilities, for nearly 12 hours.

“I’m sorry, master.”

“I knew it would be like this, Mia has nothing to apologize for.”

“Anyway, if I had traveled this way, everyone would have been able to come easily and comfortably…”

He put his arms around her sincerely apologetic Mia’s shoulders, squeezed her breasts, kissed her, and said to Jennifer, who sat across from her.

“Since this has happened, after this mission is over, shall we all go around the world to find out the location of US military bases?”

“That’s a good idea.”

She loved it when Mia tucked her hands into her trouser dance and tampered with her master’s manure.

“It’s the Christmas vacation season soon, let’s go with the family!”

“Then there are over 40 people?”

At Naima’s point, Marissa stepped in.

“What about the six-year-old daughters of the master? It will be difficult to go around together.”

“Wait… How many are there, including babies?”

As Mia began to count her fingers, Jennifer grinned as she moved her hand, which was massaging her, to the opposite breast of hers.

“If you include the volleyball players, there are 47 people in all, 45 people if you exclude the movie star girlfriend and mother.”

“Don’t worry about the number of people. Last year’s Christmas and summer holidays, the whole family went on a trip together.”

As Han Myeong-shik smiled lightly, the worried women’s faces suddenly brightened.

“Then we can all go together!”
“And… I’m so looking forward to it!”
“Where is the US military base?”

Seeing that Mia, Naima, and Marissa were chattering like girls and liking them, Jennifer, a year younger, shook her head as if rather pitiful.

“They don’t have any worries about their mission.”

Han Myeong-sik, who has no worries, is the same.

“Jennifer, what are you doing while looking forward to it? I’ll have to tell Olivia to make a schedule.”

“You can’t use cell phones here, so go to the base and call.”

“Isn’t it bad because it’s over the high seas? What about the Internet?”

“It’s not safe because of security, have you forgotten who we are and why we are suffering?”

“Ah… ! Are you on your way to catch pirates as a special agent belonging to the United States Psychic Countermeasure Headquarters?”

Everyone laughed happily at Myeong-shik Han’s prank, who responded with a serious expression.

Haha!!”

“What’s the schedule like after arriving at Diego Garcia?”

In response to Han Myeong-shik’s question, Jennifer shrugged her shoulders with a troubled expression.

“We should just have dinner and leave for Bahrain, just like Singapore.”

“Why is the schedule so tight? If it was urgent, it would have been faster to travel by private aircraft from Japan?”

“What can I say… , It’s urgent, but should I say it’s not urgent?”

“What do you mean?”

“Details will be provided by a new colleague at Fifth Fleet Command, but current information is limited, so it’s only going to happen when we arrive.”

“A new colleague, an agent from our headquarters?”

“No, I belong to the circus.”

“Circus?”

“Ah… I guess I should say MI6.”

“MI6? Uk?”

“Yeah, there are rumors that she is a beauty agent, so look forward to it.”

“Okay?”

✽✽✽✽✽

The official name of the British foreign intelligence agency ‘MI6’, which is widely known for the 007 series, which can be said to be synonymous with spy films, is ‘Secret Intelligence Service (SIS)’.

Although it belongs to the Foreign Office, it is actually directly under the Prime Minister and represents the British intelligence agency along with the ‘Security Service’ called MI5.

“Hello, my name is Daisy Brown.”

“Nice to meet you, Jennifer Thompson. This is Headquarters Contractor Mr. Han.”

Han Myeong-sik greeted expressionlessly as he shook hands with a British MI6 agent who readily reached out.

“This is Han Myeong-sik, please take good care of me.”

“I have to ask. I thought a K-pop star was here, are you a real agent?”

“Thank you for the compliment, this one…”

It was a friendly compliment with selfishness, but Myeong-sik Han responded formally and then moved on to introducing Mia, Naima, and Marisa.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Han Myung-shik grumbled as Jennifer sneaked up to her and whispered to her as she entered the 5th Fleet Headquarters building for a briefing.

“Are all the beauties freezing to death?”

“What?”

“They said to look forward to it!”

“As for Ms. Brown, isn’t she a beauty?”

According to Jennifer’s evaluation, ‘Daisy Brown”s beauty and body are far above average, but by Han Myung-style standards, they are normal.

“She has a decent body, but she is full of freckles and even has wrinkles!”

“At 32, that’s how well I managed it.”

“Jennifer, you go and look in the mirror.”

As they walked away, Jennifer hesitated, not knowing what Myeong-sik Han’s words meant.

After examining the male soldiers’ sly eyes toward him, Cook swallowed a laugh when he saw his reflection in the window of his office.

“Mr. Myung-sik is really… You’re like a child at times like that, hehe”

Daisy, on the other hand, was very embarrassed on the inside because of the unrealistic beauty of the agents from the United States.

“Others would say that they have psychic powers and are of various races, but Mr. Thompson was born in the United States and is a member of the CIA?”

“That’s right.”

“But why are you so pretty and sexy?”

It was the first time they met today, but Jennifer couldn’t hide her joy because it was praised by people in the same industry.

“Oh my go… Thank you.”

“Isn’t it a coincidence that those three women and Mr. Thompson have similar styles?”

“You are sharp as well.”

“Ji… Really?”

Although the United States and the United Kingdom are the best allies called ‘Five Eyes’, can I even tell you this secret?

“Yes, we are dating.”

Drunk with soaring self-esteem, Jennifer, who spoke frankly, had his face flushed like a teenage girl.

“No matter how much Mr. Han is a contract, is it okay between field agents?”

“How could you not love a man like that?”

The flushed face and staring eyes seemed sincere, but Daisy took another look at the fact that Jennifer was a CIA agent.

“But… A man with psychic powers and a good-looking man like that would want to attack without covering himself.”

“Right? Besides, I know how to please a woman.”

“That… Is it so?”

“It’s a flaw that his eyes are a bit high, but he’s a man who has nothing to regret.”

It wouldn’t have known if the two were normal lovers, but Daisy was embarrassed because she couldn’t understand what the purpose of these compliments was.

“But don’t you mind that Mr. Han is doing that, saying you’re dating?”

It is pointing out the explicit behavior close to molestation, playfully exchanging with Mai, Naima, and Marisa.

“It’s because my colleagues have a special bond, don’t worry about it.”

“Ah… Yes…”

Although they immediately agreed that they were as unrealistic as their beauty and body, the relationship between the three women and Han Myeong-shik never seemed like colleagues.

However, Daisy couldn’t continue to ask questions, so Daisy played the prepared video on the control room screen.

“It’s late and we have to leave for the Gulf of Aden early tomorrow morning, so I’ll keep the briefing brief. Please watch this video first.”

In the video showing the inside of the bridge of the warship, pirates suddenly appeared and threatened with guns.

“Oh, didn’t the video cut off in the middle?”

“Look at the time in the video, Naima. It wasn’t edited or cut.”

Mia asked Daisy in a trembling voice at the conversation between Nima and Marisa.

“No way… Is it teleportation?”

If it is the same ability, judging from the wide range of application, the opponent is a much stronger ability, so there is no choice but to be nervous.

“No, we analyzed it as a range transparency effect.”

“What is the basis?”

Han Myeong-sik’s serious expression and voice made my heart pound for a moment, but Daisy didn’t show it and played another video.

“In this video, pay close attention to the waves spreading far out there.”

The entire stern of the warship was videotaped for security purposes, so the four of them couldn’t figure out what was wrong, but Jennifer, like a CIA intelligence analyst, recognized it right away.

“This wave was not caused by warships.”

“Right, doesn’t it make sense to assume that there is a ship at this point here?”

If there is actually a ship where Daisy is pointing, the V-shaped wave height will be natural.

“Is there any material other than these two videos?”

“Yes, look at this.”

It happened on the same warship, but the sailor on duty suddenly disappeared from the screen and after a while, he appeared bleeding and dead on the floor.

“It seems to be the ability to make a certain range transparent centered on the person with the ability.”

“Yes? At first, I couldn’t figure out what the situation was, so I only found out that it was a superpower after asking the CIA for help.”

“You said you couldn’t specify your goal, right?”

“Yes, I haven’t even figured out where the base is yet.”

“How did you get this video?”

“I was able to get it because it happened on a logistic support ship in the Royal Navy.”

Britain calls its navy the Royal Navy (RN). Daisy’s answer was followed by Jennifer’s explanation.

“Since Somali pirates have been extinct since the late 2010s, it is more difficult to obtain related information because they are out of interest.”

“But if it wasn’t a normal merchant ship, it would have been a sign of attacking a warship, right?”

Daisy shrugged his shoulders at Han Myung-sik’s point and smiled bitterly.

“After researching, there must have been similar cases, but…”

“It’s unknown because no country like the UK or the US has suffered damage like this time.”

“Yes.”

It is useless to criticize the harsh reality. If the victim was not in England, the information would not have been delivered to the headquarters through the CIA, so it would not have come this far.

“But isn’t the fact that they sent us all the way to the site because there is a possibility of securing the target?”

In response to Myeong-shik Han’s question, Daisy uploaded a picture of a black man.

“He was the one who tracked down weapons and ammunition stolen from military support ships and was traded through the black market.”

“You even have a photo, so why haven’t you identified your target yet?”

“So I asked the CIA to cooperate, as they suddenly disappeared after we started tracking them.”

“It’s gone, how do you know… ?”

“I’m curious about that too.”

Jennifer sighed as she uploaded a picture of a battleship on the screen in place of Daisy’s embarrassment.

“Whew… That’s why I said it’s urgent, but not urgent. For now, I have no choice but to wait on this battleship.”

“Wait, until when?”

“Until the man in the picture or the pirate reappears…”

“What? So, what about the Christmas vacation, the US military base tour? His whole family decided to go on a trip together!”

It is natural for Myeong-sik Han and his three colleagues to be angry because they may spend a holiday on a battleship floating in the Gulf of Aden after waiting without an appointment, but why do they think it is fun?

Daisy cheered inwardly at the prospect of not spending this Christmas and New Year’s Eve alone in a dingy London apartment.
