Just when the atmosphere was turning completely towards her, a blow exploded from an unexpected source.

Was that one hit quite painful?

The expression on the face of the female team leader, who was claiming that there might be something amazing about Soo-hyeon, slightly wavered.

Accordingly, a murmur began to spread throughout the conference hall.

Knock-!

It was in the midst of this that the sound of someone tapping the wooden table with the back of his hand spread throughout the conference hall.

Thanks to this, just as the murmur that was spreading like wildfire over the dry fields had died down, the deputy director who was presiding over today’s meeting on behalf of his superior who was away on a business trip opened his mouth.

“I think we’ve talked enough, so now it’s time to decide what to do next.”

“But Deputy Director, I just…”

“First of all, attempts to accommodate ‘Double’ should remain as is.”

I don’t know about anything else, but I had no intention of touching that one part.

As Elena said, if it is true that ‘Double’ holds something that can change the course of the times, then it is right to focus on recruiting ‘Double’ even if it means canceling or shelving all projects currently in progress at the company. It may be a day, but even if it is not, it does not change the fact that bringing the ‘Double’ into the arms of the United States is an important task that the higher-ups are paying attention to.

So, when looking into things like ‘inner energy’ or ‘mind law’ written in this report, shouldn’t you do your job even if you look into it?

Therefore, it was right to keep the approach to the target the same as it is now.

“And… let’s maintain the same attitude as now and at the same time look into the things mentioned here.”

“If you find out, in what way…?”

“First of all, it would be best to clearly determine whether this is true or not.”

It needed to come before anything else.

That’s because only when that part is clear will he use it as material to persuade his superiors or not.

In that sense···.

“Team Leader 1?”

“Yes, Deputy Director.”

“How many people remain in the current team?”

“If you include friends who have recently completed their mission and are taking a break, there will be about 15 people.”

“Then you can ask them to investigate.”

“What do you mean by investigation?”

“You said Hong Kong and China earlier, right?”

I added the word movie or genre, but there must be a reason why something like that came out.

So if you investigate there, you might be able to find something.

“We will leave right away.”

“Yes.”

Actually, it didn’t matter if nothing special came out.

The important thing is to understand the concept more closely.

“And team leader 2?”

“Yes.”

“Team Leader 2 to dispatch the remaining members of the team to Korea immediately.”

“Do you mean Korea?”

“Yes.”

If he remembers correctly, a report about ‘Double’ that was posted a while ago said that the target was living with two women in the same house.

“You are telling me to dig around there.”

“Yes.”

If Double had the means to teach others something absurd, there was no way he wouldn’t have taught it to the two closest to him.

Of course, he would have taught those two something similar, and since they learned something that would turn the world upside down if it were leaked to the outside world, they would probably try to keep that fact a secret somehow…

“There is no such thing as a perfect secret in this world.”

Do you know how rumors or truth about the talents of awakened people spread?

In most cases, it is spread through the mouths of porters who accompanied the dungeon raid.

It is a world where there are so many eyes and ears around us.

If the people around the target had changed in any way, someone would have definitely noticed it.

“Sure… With that method, we can dig in as much as we want without worrying about our existence being discovered by the target.”

“Yes, collecting information is important, but the most important thing is not to be caught by the target.”

If you just rush in to gather information, your target may feel uncomfortable.

In the worst case, the target could find out about our existence.

And that will soon lead to rejection.

Even though it can’t help in the slightest bit in recruiting the target, why should we disrupt it like that?

Therefore, the most important point in collecting information was to do it without being discovered by the target.

In that respect, this method of digging in from the outskirts had the advantage of being less risky, but also of being able to obtain quite meaningful information.

“If that doesn’t work, you could have one of the team members sent to investigate participate as a porter in the gate raid conducted by that guild.”

“Is it possible? It won’t be easy given the culture there.”

Like no other country in the world, Korea, a country with a ‘double’, was greatly influenced by the so-called personal networking culture.

As such, it took a tremendous amount of effort to break through it.

“Well… won’t it work out somehow?”

“Make sure you don’t get caught by the target.”

“I will keep this in mind.”

This is… I never thought something that I approached lightly would turn out to be this big.

Tell me what to do.

Of course, neither he nor his superior, the director, took this matter that seriously.

That doesn’t mean it’s still like that now, just that it used to be like that.

The importance of the code name ‘Double’ was not low.

Rather than saying that’s why… I thought it was a problem that would be easily resolved.

When I looked at the reports investigating Target’s past and history, I couldn’t help but think that… Target had a past where it was used as a punching bag to silence people’s complaints at an age when protection from the government was not enough. .

The report simply said in a few lines that something like that had happened in the past…

‘It must have been quite a painful time.’

Strictly speaking, nothing was targeted.

It was the Korean government and the Korean Hunter Association at the time who promoted him as if he were an icon of hope for the next era.

It was the Korean people who got drunk and took aim at the target.

Whenever you arbitrarily place someone on top of you like that, once the generally known awakening period has passed, you instantly change your face and start pointing fingers, saying that it was all because you were arrogant or that your innate talent was a waste. What the heck.

Seriously, what if he had experienced something like that at a similar age to the target?

I’m not just saying this; I’m sure he truly felt affection for the country called Korea and the people who live there.

Still, since this is where I was born and raised, wouldn’t there still be at least some patriotism?

From the beginning, the government used him as a shield and a sacrifice, so how can something like that remain?

‘In fact, if he was treated coldly to that extent, it’s surprising that he wasn’t turned into a villain.’

Since that is the reality right now, I thought that if I approached the target in a way that would not make him feel uncomfortable and presented appropriate conditions, I could easily get him to become a naturalized citizen of the United States…

Honestly, who would have guessed?

I thought it would be an easy job, so I assigned a person with almost no experience in the field to gain some field experience, but this kind of background situation would exist.

If I had known this would happen, I would have entrusted this mission to a more experienced agent…

Suddenly a thought occurred to me, but what can I do?

If the agent deployed to the scene is forced to replace the agent in a situation where he or she has already made contact with the target, the job may be completely lost.

So… even though I’m anxious, I have no choice but to continue like this for now.

‘Still… I was told that I stood out in supporting field agents…’

If that’s the case, I’ll still do the basics, so I don’t have to worry too much, right?

Actually, in the past, whenever I saw posts about married men complaining about spending too long in the bathroom, I didn’t quite understand it.

I didn’t put honey in the bathroom, but I wondered if there was a reason to stay in there for a long time.

However, as I lived with Ari and Rahee in the same house… I finally started to understand their actions.

The reason why married men rarely come out suspiciously once they go into the bathroom is not because their financial condition is not that good or because they have something special to do in the bathroom.

So rather than that… it’s because I just want to be alone for a little while.

And from that perspective, there was no other space more suitable than the bathroom.

Just as married men use the bathroom as their own escape, school was exactly that kind of space for me…

Recently that has been under threat.

‘no···.’

Why is he doing that again…?

A gaze poking your cheek.

As I followed it carefully, what caught my eye was the figure of Amelia hiding behind a corner, peeking at me.
