Chapter 204 – (Chapter 204) 30. Secret
(Episode 204)
When Han Myeong-sik was facing an NIS agent at a safe house somewhere in Seoul, the US psychic countermeasure headquarters was busy.
After hearing the situation from Mia and Paduma, Regina Rodriguez immediately wrote a report and posted it to William Gordon.
Director Gordon instructed Daisy Brown to plan the operation as she left for the Pentagon, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, using Mia’s teleportation abilities.
“Sister, I must go to Langley.”
Daisy nodded at the suggestion of Jennifer Thompson, who was collecting related information.
“As expected, if you go to the headquarters, something more will come out, right?”
“Yeah, since the other person is Korean, I felt like everyone was watching their mouths.”
“Okay, I’ll report to the director, so call Mia and come.”
“I’ll bring Naima and Marissa back as well.”
“Okay.”
As Jennifer left for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) headquarters in Langley, Virginia, along with Mia, who responded to the call immediately, Faduma, who couldn’t wait, grabbed Regina as she was busy.
“Regina, will Myung-sik be okay alone?”
“It will be fine, don’t worry.”
“If you’re restless too, what are you telling me not to worry about?”
“Ah… Do you have a lot of tea?”
“Yes, a lot.”
“Whoa… It’s the first time I’ve had something like this, so I’m a bit confused.”
“Is this the case?”
“As you know, information about Myeong-shik and my family is top-secret, with only a limited number of people knowing even the US government.”
“How did the Korean government find out such a secret?”
“I haven’t figured it out yet, so the director and we are busy.”
“I don’t think the Korean government will do anything about Myeongsik.”
“Korea and Japan are the least intact democracies in Asia, and Korea is trustworthy in many respects.”
“But, like us, Myeong-sik was not an ordinary citizen, so he was arrested, right?”
At Faduma’s insightful point, Regina shrugged her shoulders and nodded her head.
“That’s right, the Korean National Intelligence Service is not a law enforcement agency targeting ordinary citizens…”
Despite these problems and the concerns of the people around him, Han Myeong-sik was more relaxed and confident than ever.
“You were caught on purpose, what do you mean?”
The voice of an agent in his mid-thirties, who was unable to hide his true feelings any longer because he jumped up from his seat, became even harsher.
“Why didn’t I bring the two women I was aiming for?”
“Yeah… Can’t I just leave the woman next to me to bring you? If not, that’s good for us.”
“What… That being said, don’t you think you brought me here too easily?”
“Aren’t you ignoring us too much?”
“Yes, yes, the National Intelligence Service of the Republic of Korea specializes in tying up innocent citizens.”
“When does a guy who is only 27 years old talk about his enemies, when will he talk about things like that before he has become faithful to his mission as an intelligence agency?”
“Looking at my anger, do you know that capturing me isn’t the original mission you claim?”
“This bastard!”
The agent, who was about to jump up again and swing his fist, suddenly grabbed Han Myeong-shik’s chest and began to suffer.
“You seem to have a chronic illness, but you shouldn’t get too excited.”
“You… You… Big… ! What… What did you do?”
“If you secretly passed the regular physical examination due to a bad heart, you should be careful, chief?”
“That… How to do that… ? Big… Heo-eok… Heh heh heh…”
When the chest pain, which had suddenly worsened, disappeared as if it had never happened, the agent gasped for breath and broke out in a cold sweat.
Han Myeong-sik grinned as he raised his hand toward the opaque reflective window on one side of the interrogation room and sat down again.
“Doesn’t the thought of keeping manners spring up?”
“Me… I’m just following orders.”
“You said you were ordered to ignore me and treat me badly?”
“…”
“You can’t interpret the command to quickly find out the information you need in this way.”
“That… How to do that… ?”
“Didn’t I tell you I’m a psychic?”
“Can you figure out something like that?”
“What do you know about me?”
“…”
Since he didn’t know much, he would have come to catch him with a stun gun, but there was nothing good about turning the government agency in his home country into an enemy, so Myeong-sik Han showed minimal kindness.
“Now go check it out in the next room.”
“Check, what?”
“I don’t think any of the scenes or voices of the conversation you had with me were recorded.”
“… ?”
He looked disbelieving, but because of what he had just experienced, the agent reluctantly got up and left the interrogation room.
I thought he would come back right away, but it seemed like he was reporting to the upper level, so it was only after a while that we were able to face each other again.
“What’s up there?”
“Are you asking if you know everything?”
“Huh.”
“Oh my god…”
“Now do you know who is A and which is B?”
“Why did you get arrested knowing we would treat you like this?”
“You probably don’t have much time to answer your personal questions, right?”
“What?”
“When do you ask for the information ordered by the superiors to find out?”
“…”
As an agent whose skills were recognized in the field, the team leader could not bear to admit that the goose bumps running down his back were caused by fear.
With no more information to gain from such an opponent, Han Myeong-sik decided to move on to the next step and spoke relatively favorably.
“Take me to the headquarters of the NIS immediately and let me meet the person in charge of this matter.”
“You are making impossible demands.”
“You’d better listen to my request.”
“Why?”
“Hmm… It’s hard for you to handle it with your rank, so just report it and get permission.”
“I know you are working with the US government.”
“What if the US moves?”
“This is Korea, and just because it’s America, you can’t do everything your way.”
“Yeah, I agree with that point, I don’t want to see my country struggling with America.”
“Well done, as a Korean, please help me for my country.”
I tried to rebuff him, but I persuaded him by mobilizing my remaining patriotism.
“I don’t think I’ve grasped the atmosphere properly yet, so I’ll say it again. As you just checked in the next room, the NIS you are loyal to sent agents knowing that I am a psychic. What could this mean?”
“We are elite agents fully prepared for this kind of mission.”
“Since when did the National Intelligence Service of the Republic of Korea deal with psychics?”
“…”
“Every single fact I tell you is a secret that the United States treats with the highest level.
“That… Does that mean the company used us as bait to see how you came out?”
“Think what you like, you both know the mission of a skirmisher since you both are military guys, right?”
“It can’t be.”
“I will respect your loyalty and beliefs.”
I never wanted to admit it, but no matter how much I thought about it, Han Myeong-sik’s claim seemed to be true, so the team leader couldn’t figure out what to do.
“At the company…”
“Didn’t I tell you to hold me here no matter what?”
“…”
“Hurry up and call me to take me to Naegok-dong.”
“You cannot break an order.”
“For the sake of a country so loyal, you can break an order like that!”
Bang
As Han Myung-sik screamed and slammed the table, the team leader, a seasoned NIS agent, quickly stepped back and drew his handgun.
“Don’t forget that if you do not comply with the investigation, we will use all means.”
“Ah… Okay, put the gun down and go and contact the superiors.”
“There’s no point in contacting me!”
“I’m in a position where I can’t reveal information unless I’m the chief executive because of the contract, and if I tell them that the US government knows that I’m here, it will work.”
“What, America knows? Is that true?”
“What I’m talking about is top secret, what will the US government think of me?”
“Do we look so lax? I have already confirmed that there is no device to locate you!”
“Mister, you are really frustrated. How many times do I have to tell you to accept it?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Do you think I’m the only one with superpowers in this world?”
At that moment, as if they had waited, the door to the interrogation room burst open, and agents with pistols rushed in.
“Why are you guys like this, why are you coming here all of a sudden?”
“Chief, if you don’t follow the instructions, I will shoot you.”
“What?”
“Put on the safety catch and hand over the pistol.”
“You’re crazy, what are you doing to your boss?”
Then, the agents simultaneously pointed their guns at the team leader and unlocked the safety device.
“Team leader, put the safety device on the gun pointed at Mr. Han Myeong-shik and hand it over!”
The reason why colleagues and loyal subordinates who laughed and chatted together until just a few hours ago was acting like this must be because a new order came from the headquarters.
“Ah… Okay.”
The team leader had the feeling that something was wrong when he saw that the agents were still pointing their guns even though they had been safety-locked and handed them to their subordinates.
“Master!”
The team leader’s jaw dropped wide at the sight of four women appearing from the corner of the interrogation room with a lively female voice breaking the silence of an imminent sense of crisis.
“Come on.”
“Are you late?”
“No, I came just in time.”
With their hands and feet bound with handcuffs, Han Myeong-sik exchanged kisses one by one, but the team manager, who was so surprised, did not recognize how pretty and sexy the women were.
“Marisa, let all the agents go.”
“Yes, Master.”
With the answer and just looking around, the subordinate agents rushed out like when they came in with their guns.
“Nima, get the key holder and release these handcuffs.”
“Yes, Master.”
The team leader, who had been blinded by the dazzling beauty of a Pakistani woman walking through the interrogation room with her head lightly bowed, finally regained her senses.
“This… What the heck is this…”
“Wait, take off these handcuffs.”
I was trying to tell him that I had to follow orders from the superior, but one of my subordinates came in and took out the key with a blank expression and unlocked the handcuffs.
“What… What did you do, why are they like this?”
“I can’t tell you.”
Time stopped the moment the team leader was about to open his mouth again at the sight of a beautiful woman who had walked out of the investigation room with Myeong-shik Han’s cold response.
“Are there only four?”
“Jennifer came too.”
“Are you outside?”
“No, I’m on standby at the CIA’s Korean branch.”
“Are Regina and Daisy at headquarters?”
“Yes.”
“What does the chief say?”
This time, it was not Mia who answered, but Faduma, who was holding her arms tightly, with tears in her eyes.
“The director is very angry.”
“Because of me?”
“No…”
Faduma, who was crying because this was the first time this had happened, answered with a calm voice, Marissa, a Venezuelan-born beauty who was a priest.
“When the director returned to the headquarters, he shouted in anger that the old people in Washington were ignorant of what they were doing.”
“Ah… , Someone higher than the director intervened? Don’t cry, Faduma. I said nothing would happen.”
Naima asked, her big brown eyes twinkling as Myeong-sik Han hugged her frizz and stroked her buttocks.
“The director said to come back right away, won’t he just go over it?”
“Of course, shouldn’t we go back after knowing at least what kind of bastard did this?”
If time hadn’t stopped, the team leader’s face would have gone into contemplation when he saw Han Myeong-sik smiling with contempt.
