CODE NAME: ANASTASIA [Novel]

Chapter 8

Kwon Taek Joo was detained at the police station for a long time. A policeman passed by and brought him a thick blanket, it seemed that it had not been washed in a long time, so it was full of a musty smell. But even with the heater on, his body was still shivering, so he had no choice but to wrap the blanket around his body.

Kwon Taek Joo curled up in the blanket and looked down at his aching wrist. Even though the wrist was wrapped in bandages, the killer's fingerprints must still be inside. Maybe it was because everything happened so fast that Kwon Taek Joo didn't even know he had sprained his wrist and he didn't feel any pain even with first aid, until it was bandaged. Kwon Taek Joo tried moving his unbandaged fingers and sneered.

Ridiculous. Not only was he almost kidnapped, but he was also saved by an assassin and could only watch him suddenly disappear right before his eyes, 'No, I don't know if he really 'saved' me.' His only thin shirt was torn by him in the cold winter. even his normally normal wrist after he was 'saved' had to be bandaged like a white bone. If the police showed up even a minute late, what they would see would be a frozen corpse.

Is that person human after all? If so, why could an adult man's wrist be dislocated just by being held a little bit by him? If the victim was a weak person, he could understand. But Kwon Taek Joo is definitely not that type of person. Now that I think about it, that man's physical strength really couldn't be described by common sense.

The police officer in charge of the case finally returned. As soon as he sat down, the old chair creaked.

"It seems that this incident was not caused by forces disgruntled with the contract. Its scale is very large, so there is no shortage of opponents to be afraid of. I heard the profits are in the trillions or more?"

He is a typical civil servant. When it comes to profits, his eyes even sparkle. Kwon Taek Joo didn't answer any questions, he just stared at the wall clock with an  impatient face. Now he just wanted to get to the hotel as soon as possible.

However, the officer in charge continued to say loudly in an excited voice that they would definitely find out who was behind and hoped the incident would not make him prejudice against Russia. Midway, his superior returned, until then Kwon Taek Joo was released.

"My baggage..."

"Ah, you mean the bag in the trunk, right? If it was that, I would have brought it over there. I checked for bombs or navigation devices. You don't need to thank me for my devotion to even the smallest things."

That is to say thank you, what else? Kwon Taek Woo nodded and stood up. He saw the bag on the table in front of the door. He quickly grabbed the bag and left the office. Kwon Taek Joo went down the stairs, while thinking about how to return to the hotel, the policeman chased him right after him. Kwon Taek Joo tried to ignore him but the policeman still followed him and kept a certain distance. In the end, Kwon Taek Joo stopped walking and turned to look at him.

"Is there something..."

"You were targeted once, maybe you could become their target again. Their comrades are all dead, maybe you will get revenge. So I'll take you to the hotel safely."

"Ah, you absolutely don't need to thank me."

Of course, thank you.

The policeman came to the front and said, 'My car is here.' without any intention of confirming whether Kwon Taek Joo agreed or not. Unnecessary friendliness can be a bit annoying sometimes. However, the current Kwon Taek Joo is Hiro Sakamoto. A civilian who has just been kidnapped and threatened with his life has no reason to refuse the protection of public authorities. Kwon Taek Joo reluctantly accepted his goodwill and walked towards the parking lot.
