How would you feel if you found out that someone you were close to as family was a secret government agent?
Would it be surprising? Or will he be shocked to learn that he kept the secret even from himself?
I was neither.
‘no wonder.’
When I found out that the man was an agent of the National Intelligence Service, I inadvertently nodded my head in admiration.
Even when I was young, he was a very extraordinary person.
On the other hand, I was relieved to find out that he was an agent.
It’s not like he distanced himself from my mother and me for no reason.
… Although he disappeared without even saying goodbye in the end.
“… … .”
Click. Flip the pages on the monitor to check the information about ‘Uncle.’
In it, various personal information, including photos, was written… .
“… Huh?”
As I carefully looked through his neatly taken ID photo, I stopped at the very first piece of information written down.
For some reason, it was different from the name of the man I knew.
[Kang In-chan]
He had the same last name, Kang, as me.
“strong… Greetings?”
“… The Chinese characters front and back are the same.”
Han Ryeo-won and Ma Yeon-seo, who were looking at the monitor next to each other, also paid attention to the man’s name.
My uncle and I not only had the same last name, but the Chinese character for ‘chan’ was also the same.
As if his father named him after him.
I wasn’t the only one who thought that way.
“Is this person… . Isn’t it your real father…? ?”
“… surely. It looked similar.”
I fell into confusion.
‘why… ?’
The first emotion that came to mind was doubt.
If he was really my biological father, why did he pretend to not be my biological father?
My mother always emphasized over and over again, ‘You are a stranger.’
If I was going to pretend to be someone else, I could have lived my whole life without even knowing my face. Why did he hang around our house pretending to be my mother’s boyfriend?
It was a difficult situation for me to understand now.
“… Let’s continue for now.”
I was silent and kept scrolling to check the man’s information.
Born in the same hometown as his mother, he became a member of the National Intelligence Service at an early age and apparently worked while hiding his identity under the nickname ‘Black Agent.’
That was the end.
“What… ?”
Grumble. Grumble. Scroll down.
There were definitely a lot of pages left, but nothing was written on them.
What is your family relationship like? What mission did you perform? What internal evaluation was received and what were the characteristics?
All there was was a blank space with nothing written on it.
“Umm… . Did you have to hide your identity?”
“If that were the case, I shouldn’t have left any information at all.”
Han Ryeo-won and Ma Yeon-seo exchanged various opinions about the man’s identity.
‘… ‘What on earth is this?’
It was a time when I sighed and ruffled my hair at the unknown identity of the man.
Ugh-. Ugh-.
I received a call from Shin Yuna in Suwon.
“… … Hello?”
[ ah. brother. How did it work out? ]
It felt like I was calling to inquire about the progress.
“Should I say this went well… .”
I massaged the bridge of my nose due to the fatigue that came later and briefly explained the situation.
Then Shin Yuna, who had been quietly listening to the story, spoke vaguely.
[ hmm… . anyway. Are you sure that that person was a member of the National Intelligence Service? ]
“For now.”
[Then, let me find out. ]
“You… ?”
He said he would solve it himself.
[I heard that the National Assembly member under me is close to the current Director of the National Intelligence Service. ]
“No, really?”
Where does the confidence come from to describe a successful incumbent member of the National Assembly as being beneath him?
[Won’t we find something if we dig inside? ]
She even said that she would insinuate the current head of the National Intelligence Service to steal internal secrets.
‘Does this make sense?’
Because the content was unrealistic, it lacked a sense of reality.
… Now is not the time to distinguish between hot and cold water.
“… Then, let me ask you a favor.”
After leaving the work to Shin Yuna, I let out a short sigh and looked at the monitor.
‘… mister… .’
He was truly an extraordinary person, both then and now.

Meanwhile, Beijing, China.
Liu Xinyu, who occupied Jiang Weiyang’s mansion, was watching something closely through a small monitor in his study.
[ George. Is that true? ]
[ okay. Liu Xinyu approached me. ]
The monitor contained images of a young Asian woman and a middle-aged white man.
She was the current Vice President of the United States, George Miller, and his mistress, a Chinese American.
[Do you know anything about him? ]
[ According to my friends in China, there is a story that he has already taken over China. ]
[I heard that rumor too. But honestly, it’s hard to believe. ]
[This probably means that the Stone of the Beginning is that strong. ]
A woman who was Liu Xinyu’s faithful confidant indirectly told Vice President George about Liu Xinyu’s fear.
[He assassinated Jiang Weiyang, who was a dictator. ]
It was a Chinese operation targeting Vice President George’s tendency to be very calculating and prioritize self-serving.
[There are rumors in China that he did not just kill Jiang Weiyang, but also killed him to protect his subordinates. ]
[You killed your superior to protect your subordinates. Loyalty is amazing! ]
Vice President George tried to pretend that nothing had happened, but inside he was afraid.
I’m glad that the Argentina incident was somehow resolved. In fact, it was not surprising that China would dominate the world due to that incident.
Even though the United States may have superior military power, it will never be able to stop China if it decides to use information and power to assassinate people.
The Stone of Light incident that occurred recently is also evidence of this.
China, which accurately identified the location of the Stone of Light, staged a massacre and leisurely seized the stone before the emergency system was activated.
In this great war over the primordial stone, China already has the upper hand.
‘It’ll come over soon.’
Liu Xinyu, who knew this, turned off the screen, thinking that Vice President George would soon come to them.
Now the only remaining obstacle is Korea.
‘If you just get over the stone of strength, everything will be solved.’
Liu Xinyu, who had the Stone of Life, the Stone of Darkness, and the Stone of Wisdom, obtained the Stone of Light and completed a set.
Stones matched in this way were not just limited to having two, but boasted tremendous power and potential and were a great addition to military power.
If the Stone of Power were combined with this, Ryu Shin-yu could become the strongest being on Earth.
It was clear that Kang Yu-chan, who was the only one holding him back, would be no match for him.
In fact, it was a situation where there was no hesitation about being in Korea as long as the Stone of Power was obtained.
‘I’m looking forward to it.’
Liu Xinyu imagined himself holding all the stones.
He sees himself as the ruler of the world, holding all eight stones.
‘It will be a very perfect world.’
In the new world he depicted, there were no fights or disputes.
All citizens around the world are equal, equal, and full of happiness.
It’s as if there is no separate heaven.
Literally… .
It was a ‘new world’.
*
After a while.
“Ta-da! how is it? Did I do well?”
Shin Yuna took the information about the man she had promised and threw it away.
“No, really… ?”
I was secretly looking forward to it, but when I actually got it, it was surprising.
“Ahem. I used some effort.”
I don’t know what kind of effort she used, but Shin Yuna kept her sassy attitude and asked for praise.
“Well done. The only one I can really trust is Yuna… !”
Of course, I kissed him generously and praised him with all my might.
‘The man’s secret is finally revealed!’
Finally, with the secret at hand, I checked the message Shin Yuna had delivered with a pounding heart.
however.
[Jeju Special City… … ]
There was a strange address on it, not what I expected.
[Silver Nursing Hospital]
It was the address of a nursing hospital located in Jeju Island.
“What is this… ?”
After checking the address, I looked at Shin Yuna with a question mark.
She quenched her thirst by sucking on a straw and unexpectedly spoke up.
“It is said that right before Kang In-chan went missing, someone deleted all of his information, leaving only some of his personal information. Unfortunately, it is so old that restoration is impossible.”
“What… ? Then what is this address?”
“The person who deleted that information is said to be there now.”
“… !”
I immediately bought a plane ticket and flew to Jeju Island.
“… … .”
With Ma Yeon-seo riding next to him.
‘I never thought I would fly first class just to go to Jeju Island.’
Originally, everyone had a lot to do, so I was planning to go alone, but Ma Yeon-seo said she would tag along, so we were moving alone for the first time in a long time.
“… After all, I can’t get on an airplane.”
Ma Yeon-seo, who landed at the airport, stretched and complained of fatigue.
‘Is it that much…? ?’
Actually, I found it very unpleasant and difficult to sympathize with her.
[You have arrived at your destination. ]
Soon, we used the car we had prepared in advance and headed straight to our destination, a nursing hospital.
and.
“… Here?”
“Uh… . This is correct, but… .”
I was momentarily taken aback when I came across the shabby hospital standing in an empty lot with nothing around.
‘That person is in a place like this?’
It looked too shabby to be a place where someone who did great things lived.
“… Let’s go in.”
We went straight inside the hospital.
“I… . Excuse me.”
Surprisingly, the staff member guarding the first floor lobby ignored us.
“Hey?”
When I looked closely, I saw that I was wearing wireless earphones in my ears.
Ding ding ding! Unable to bear it anymore, Ma Yeon-seo rang the bell on the counter to give the signal.
“Huh?”
Only then did the staff raise their heads and welcome us.
“Ah. Do you have anything to do?”
It was a somewhat shocking response.
“… I came here to visit someone who is hospitalized.”
“Your name?”
“Bak, three characters.”
“Ah. You came to see that grandfather. Go to room 601 on the 6th floor.”
The staff led us straight upstairs without any further confirmation procedures.
“… … .”
“… … .”
Ma Yeon-seo and I looked at each other for a moment, at a loss for words, then silently got into the elevator… .
[This is the 6th floor. ]
The moment the elevator arrived and the doors opened.
“Ah! Don’t eat it!!!”
An old man’s loud voice rang out in the hallway.
‘It’s serious.’
I once again realized how poor nursing hospitals can be.
“It was room 601, right?”
“… Yes.”
We entered the hospital room we were guided to by looking at the sign posted at the entrance.
“I don’t take this medicine!”
“You have to eat it.”
“Are you trying to kill me now?! I will never eat it!”
“Oh my. I won’t kill you. Hurry and put it in your mouth.”
And then I came face to face with an old man who was in the midst of a fight with his caregiver.
“(…Yeonseo.)”
“(?)”
“(…that’s him, right?)”
“(Probably.)”
He was the person we were looking for.
