CODE NAME: ANASTASIA [Novel]

Chapter 9

Kwon Taek Joo only takes the necessary components from each device and then reassembles it, creating another device to connect to a mobile phone for work. It is a kind of advanced device that can change IP periodically and prevent eavesdropping or hacker attacks. He plugged it into his laptop and started it up.

Kwon Taek Joo entered the password, waited for a while, a simple screen appeared. Amidst the numerous icons that popped up, he clicked on the usual SNS dialog box. After logging in, the icon of the National Intelligence Service - NIS appeared and quickly connected to the headquarters. Right after that, manager Lim's uncomfortable face appeared on the screen with a grumbling voice, 'You're late.'

Kwon Taek Joo really wants to say that if he's dissatisfied with something, I've got the basket.

"If you're going to disguise your  identity, why not choose someone safer."

"It takes worth to be kidnapped in order to meet people of high rank."

"You mean you already knew about this?"

"Do I have to confirm it myself again? After all, you are an excellent agent, I trust you because no matter what danger you face, you will come back safely."

Anyway, all his words were just like water flowing through the clouds to this man. Kwon Taek Joo asked with displeasure.

"What happened? Didn't you say the Gazprom side would come pick me up?"

"Yes, they contacted me and said they would send someone to the airport."

"Is it true that Gazprom made contact?"

"I said yes, right? After all, his identity was revealed. The party waited for a long time and he still didn't show up, so they immediately called the Itochu headquarters. I had a hard time diverting the call and stopping it. I heard there was a commotion on the plane you went to, so you couldn't land on time? It seems that because of that, Gazprom side made a mistake. There was an Asian who entered the country earlier than him and impersonated Hiro Sakamoto. It wasn't until then that they realized it wasn't him. Meanwhile, you're happily being kidnapped by a useless pretender."

That's right, his bad luck started the moment he boarded the plane. All because that drunk Russian guy messed things up. Because the flight landed later than expected, he only met Vasily when he pretended to be an employee of Gazprom.

"But much later than expected, huh?"

"There was a small commotion on the plane."

"Is there another guest who gets drunk and makes a commotion?"

Kwon Taek Joo recalled what Vasily asked him when he got off the airport, the same question.

".... How do you know that?"

Now that I think about it, they must be from the same faction that's why they were so thorough. It is true that Vasily died so easily. Kwon Taek Joo frowned and clenched his fist but immediately let go because his wrist was aching in protest.

He looked down at his right arm. The bruise was clearly imprinted with a finger at his wrist, which was where the killer had grabbed. The moment he saw it, the excitement in his heart came to life. Either way, the identity of this name must be clarified. If he didn't, he felt like he would always be haunted by the surrender of that moment.

Kwon Taek Joo tells department head Lim about the killer. He intends to use the information powers of the headquarters to find him. However, Chief Lim was extremely slow to react.

"Let see. Without seeing his face, there was no way to confirm who he was. The cigars you mentioned sold for 4000 boxes. There are 4,000 buyers who would stay up all night to find out and want to die. Besides, the shoes you said he was wearing weren't a limited edition either."
