National Intelligence Service Conference Room.

There were NIS director Bang Myeong-jun, each department head, and Oh Jeong-jin, head of the crisis management office.

Oh Jung-jin stood at the front and recited the details displayed on the screen.

It was about an incident that occurred in a hill in Neunggok-dong, Siheung-si, Gyeonggi-do.

“… In the course of the operation, 5 people died, 7 people were seriously injured, and 3 people were lightly injured among the anti-terrorism suppression crew under his command. And enemy casualties included Bernard Grant, Clifford Graham, Blake Mills, Jaden Foster, Gregory Ford, and Luke Sanders. A total of 6 people, all of whom were placed on red notice by Interpol for terrorism and assassination.”

Oh Jeong-jin, who was explaining while changing the screen, saw the atmosphere slightly and continued.

“Once, according to the circumstances and the results of the first autopsy, the firearms used in the death process belonged to the persons concerned. Right now, it is presumed that there may have been a battle due to infighting.”

Bang Myeong-jun, the director of the National Intelligence Service, listened intently to the report. The brow furrowed under his gray hair, and he turned on the microphone placed on the book and spoke.

“her… It’s mine… . Yes. Everyone was fully armed in this Republic of Korea. One person even ends up missing it.”

The atmosphere grew heavier at the solemn voice of Bang Myeong-jun.

In response, Kim Woo-hyun, the head of the domestic part, cautiously stepped forward.

“First of all, the result of comparing the identity obtained through the vehicle. Most of them lost their accomplices and escaped, so we expect them to be isolated.”

“You didn’t find out anything about that person?”

t-

When Oh Jeong-jin pressed the button, the screen changed and a picture of a person appeared.

It was Shane, a young man with white hair and skin. In response, Jeongjin Oh continued to explain.

“The name is unknown, and it did not come up even in an Interpol search. However, as a result of consulting a doctor because of his unusual appearance, he said it was presumed to be vitiligo.”

“A disease that turns your hair or your face white?”

“For now, yes. Based on this, cooperate through the police and the media—”

bang-

Bang Myeong-jun hit the desk hard.

“Are you saying that now? With the presidential election right around the corner, is there anything to create a sense of crisis?”

“… sorry.”

“Whoa—just move with the cops for now.”

If the police had been mobilized in the first place, it might not have been missed.

However, it was not mobilized because the image as the National Intelligence Service was important.

However, the problem was bound to become serious as the incident broke out before the right measures were taken while already knowing that the dangerous people had smuggled in.

Of course, even in such a situation, there was still pride to protect.

“but… The press has already smelled it too. I put an embargo on it, but I think it will be difficult for a long time.”

At Kim Woo-hyun’s explanation, Jeong Jeong-seung, the head of the overseas part, who had been silent from the beginning, opened his mouth.

“What the hell are you doing in the domestic part when you’re not working?”

“Are we playing?”

“If you weren’t playing, you would later find out that terrorists were entering the country, and would you allow this to happen?”

Normally, the domestic and overseas parts did not get along well.

Kim Woo-hyun was furious when he heard the words of such a politician.

“There are as many as five Interpol Red Wanted figures who died in this incident. you’re right. We found out late that they came into the country. Speaking of which, what did you do in the overseas part? They gave us a quick feed of what we asked for!”

Not only were the areas in charge of each other different, but the ideology of NIS work was subtly different.

It was because the overseas part was a place to defend and take measures against hostility towards the Republic of Korea, while the domestic part acted for the realistic peace and security of the Republic of Korea.

Of course, each of us had our own area of responsibility in direct work, so there were a lot of things to bump into.

“stop!”

Everyone shut their mouths at Bang Myung-jun’s cry. The situation like now has been created.

Besides, the situation was unusual. With important work involved, more clear and tidy measures were needed than ever.

In response, Bang Myeong-jun’s voice became heavier.

“Kim Woo-hyun, part leader.”

“… Yes, please.”

“I heard that the terrorists have been asking about the GPS tapping device, which is the equipment in charge of the domestic part of the NIS, but why is there no report about that part?”

“… … .”

In an instant, the expressions of Kim Woo-hyun, head of the domestic part, and Oh Jeong-jin, head of the crisis management office, hardened. This was because wiretapping was not reported to the director of the National Intelligence Service from the beginning.

It was difficult to know right away how he found that out.

Bang Myeong-jun asked the two people who were looking at each other again.

“Tell me. Why was that wiretap in the hands of the terrorists?”

“Um, what are you talking about… … .”

Only the blood of Koo Sang-wook, who was expected to be kidnapped at the scene, came out. However, since there were many dead bodies of the terrorists, it was judged that Ku Sang-wook might have died as well.

It was a decision made because there was no case reported by the nearby police, and the location had not been caught so far.

“Are you asking because you really don’t know what you mean? Or is it to deceive the NIS? Let me tell you, Oh Jeong-jin, head of the Crisis Management Office.”

“… that is… … .”

In the present situation, he could not arbitrarily choose to say anything. Oh Jeong-jin’s gaze naturally turned to Kim Woo-hyun.

Kim Woo-hyun, whose eyes met, let out a sigh.

“Whoa — the thing about the bugger was that it was used to spy on a company that recently came across allegations of insider trading.”

“If you do, the wiretapping machine and the company you just talked about. And shouldn’t it have been explained what the terrorist had to do with it?”

Kim Woo-hyun became even more embarrassed. This is because it was not possible to explain exactly why the wiretapping device was intertwined with the terrorist.

Also, it was a big problem that the contents recorded by the wiretap were sent to the director of the National Intelligence Service.

It was because Kim Woo-hyun, the current head of the domestic part, and Bang Myung-joon, the head of the National Intelligence Service, had different views.

“I’m sorry for the part that I couldn’t report in advance. Because it was a task that allowed me to decide on my own line… That’s what it was. I didn’t expect the situation to develop this way.”

“Excuses only go that far. Right now, practical solutions are not important. So— now also explain the corporate and insider trading issues involved in the wiretapping.”

Just now, Kim Woo-hyun drew a line about his duties. Nevertheless, Bang Myeong-jun brought up the story again and told it clearly.

“… sorry. As I said earlier, it was just an allegation. Afterwards, the charges were cleared, and all the contents of the wiretapping at the time were destroyed, and it seems that it was lost in the process of recovering the device and used by someone.”

“Are you saying that now?”

Kim Woo-hyun explained it that way because the loss was small if he made it an error rather than revealing his dark intentions right away.

At the same time, the expressions of Bang Myeong-jun and the other part leaders darkened.

It’s an excuse for anyone to see, but it was also difficult to force them to come up with something.

“I must have said that now, knowing how much of a business mistake it was.”

“enough… I am aware of it.”

After listening to Kim Woo-hyun’s answer, Bang Myeong-jun looked around at the people around him and said,

“The remaining terrorists are temporarily designated code T-4886. And for T-4886, whether the head of Nam Jun-tae’s part, not the domestic part’s Crisis Management Office, will do it himself, or whether he will raise a person at the level of the head of the department. Proceed by temporarily operating 2 teams in the Crisis Management Office.”

At the same time, Kim Woo-hyun exclaimed in surprise.

“Director! That is nonsense!”

Nam Jun-tae was a part dedicated to North Korea, not anywhere else. The management area was distinctly different from that of Korea. For Kim Woo-hyun, this was a difficult decision to accept.

“Kim Woo-hyun, part leader. Aren’t you getting a sense of the current situation?”

“I know the seriousness better than anyone. So, isn’t it right for me to fix it! And how does Nam Joon-tae, division leader, move my agents?”

“Huh—of course there are zones in work. By the way, is there any other legitimate reason to entrust this job to part leader Kim Woo-hyeon, who has been making mistakes after mistakes?”

Bang Myung-Jun made it in front of his face with both hands on his pods. Beyond that, he stared at Kim Woo-hyun, but the atmosphere started to get sharper.

After a moment of silence passed, Bang Myeong-jun’s mouth opened.

“Consider yourself fortunate that the work itself was not put on hold. And isn’t that the only thing that part leader Woohyun Kim has to do?”

“… All right.”

There, Kim Woo-hyun could not go further and sat down.

“Let me finish this.”

When the meeting was over, everyone rushed out.

Then, when Nam Jun-tae’s eyes met, Kim Woo-hyun’s expression crumpled up and he even glared at him. But Nam Jun-tae didn’t care at all.

deep in the night.

Shane stumbled into an old abandoned building. There was a lot of trash around. From there, he went further inside and pushed aside a fragile bookshelf built against the wall.

However, the action stopped moving further from there.

“Whoa— I guess you finally figured it out.”

At his murmur, an old man walked out of the dark space on the right.

This elder was Kamikura Horyuji. At the same time, as if they had waited, the combatants under his command came running from here and there and stood around Shane.

“this… What can an injured person do, do you even go so far?”

“A normal person wouldn’t have had to go this far. Shane, no— should I call you Beta Tress?”

Shane’s easy-going smile hardened as if it was nothing special.

Beta Tres in Latin. Directly translated into Korean, it meant the third of Beta. And Shane hated being called that.

“we… Were you aware of its existence?”

Along with that question, one of the men brought a simple chair and put it behind Kamikura Horyuji.

Kamikura Horyuji sat down and gave a deep smile.

“Heh heh— Kurt Herringen, why don’t you think that nasty old man didn’t know that he stole the least decent of the failed experiments?”

Beta’s existence was only known until the first Unus and the second duo.

There were a few more, including Shane.

However, due to side effects, most of them died during the operation, and now only Unus, Duo, and Tress remain.

“I don’t think anyone would be so interested in a failed film… I didn’t know.”

“Well—not a bad flop to use. Just look at Unus and the duo that he and Elder Il have.”

Kamikuro Horyuji finished his words and looked over Shane from head to toe.

“More than that… I’m surprised you’re hurt. To say that he invaded the area without permission, spread the strategy, and came back alive as a hound eaten by rats.”

“About the unauthorized operation… Oh, you can tell the elder. Then I will go in for treatment.”

already got caught Shane judged that lame excuses were unnecessary, so he said it without difficulty.

At that time, Kamikura Horyuji’s men blocked Shane’s way.

“Do you have anything else to say? Or do you want to do it with me?”

“How can I make Baktu with you? Even with a broken left arm, these guys would be fine.”

As a member of Cerberus, Shane’s skills were well recognized within the organization. So, even in the unknown state of Beta Torres, other elders and executives were targeting Shane.

Horyuji Kamikura was also one of those who coveted Shane.

And now the opportunity has come.
