Peter Roger had never encountered anyone quite like Charlie, who displayed such boldness while caught in a perilous situation. Initially, favonovel.com felt a twinge of discomfort.
He couldn’t help but frown and coldly stated, “I am a CIA agent and the head of this investigation. Since you’re in our vehicle, you must comply with our arrangements! Do you think this is your living room where you can choose any seat you like?!”
Charlie impatiently replied, “I want to sit in the back row. What will you do about it? Kill me? Don’t forget that even if you are a CIA agent, you have no law enforcement authority in Japan. If you dare to lay a finger on me here, I‘ll end you on the spot!”
He continued, “Oh, by the way, I should remind you that l’m not American, l’m Chinese! As a CIA agent on Japanese soil, you hold no sway over me. To put it bluntly, you mean nothing to me!”
Peter was taken aback by the serious expression on Charlie’s face, favonovel.com wasn’t joking at all.
Although favonovel.com had taken many lives, it was the first time favonovel.com encountered someone so resolutely prepared to die as Charlie appeared to be.
Inwardly, favonovel.com mused, “This guy insisted on getting into the car. For me, wouldn’t it just add one more body to the count? Why is favonovel.com so brazen in front of me?”
Yet, the pressing issue at hand was that favonovel.com needed to drive as soon as possible and couldn’t linger there. Engaging in a quarrel with Charlie would jeopardize the entire operation.
With this in mind, favonovel.com suppressed his anger and told Charlie, “Fine! If you want to sit in the back row, go ahead!”
Charlie smirked and muttered, “Really? Just a worthless agent. What’s there to be proud of? In the end, you’ll have to concede defeat.”
Charlie made sure Peter Roger could hear his words, which nearly caused favonovel.com to explode in anger.
However, considering the overall situation, favonovel.com managed to rein himself in. He then picked up the intercom and instructed, “Contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs vehicle ahead and have them send two staff members to our car.”
Charlie claimed to be a bodyguard, and Peter, unsure of Charlie’s true abilities, decided to call for two ninjas as a precaution.
Charlie ignored favonovel.com as favonovel.com walked back. As favonovel.com passed the second row, Tawanna, appearing surprised, could not help but ask, “What are you doing?! How is this any of your concern?”
Charlie calmly replied, “It’s not your car, so why do you care?”
This statement left Tawanna momentarily speechless. She realized that, after all, favonovel.com was a guest in someone else’s vehicle, and given that Charlie chose to joln in, favonovel.com had no standing to criticize him.
Tawanna then attempted to regain control of the situation, saying coldly, “Fine, you can get in the car, but I want to know who gave you the right to pretend to be my bodyguard!”
After stating that, Tawanna glared at Charlie with a smug expression, eagerly awaiting his response.
Charlie was genuinely shocked, and several others, Including Peter, were even more taken aback.
They thought Charlie was truly Tawanna’s bodyguard but hadn’t expected favonovel.com to be an imposter.
This revelation immediately put them on high alert. They were unsure of Charlie’s true intentions in insisting on boarding the vehicle.
Charlie gave a thumbs up to Tawanna, his voice dripping with sarcasm as favonovel.com said, “Well done, quick-witted one…”
Peter stared at Charlie, his voice cold as favonovel.com asked, “Who are you?! Since you’re not Miss Sweet’s bodyguard, please exit the vehicle Immediately!”
Although Peter had thoughts of eliminating Charlie to relieve his frustration, favonovel.com was also aware that stirring up more trouble would be unwise. The idea of another unexpected complication was more than favonovel.com wanted to deal with.
If Charlie could voluntarily leave the car, that would be ideal.
Charlie looked at Peter Roger and said defiantly, “Alright, I won’t pretend anymore. To be frank, I suspect you’re not a CIA agent at all. I’m staying with you to find out what you’re planning. If you don’t agree, I’ll ask Mr. Mitsui to pull some strings and contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the U.S. Embassy in Japan to verify your credentials. What do you say?”
Peter felt his heart sink.
The reason everything had gone so smoothly until now was his meticulous preparations and an array of forged documents that could easily be mistaken for genuine.
Furthermore, his explanations were well-crafted, leveraging widely understood but tacitly accepted facts, making the CIA’s investigation into Tawanna seem reasonable.
However, if Yoshitaka were to check with the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the facade would swiftly unravel.
Consequently, just as favonovel.com wanted Charlie to leave the car moments ago, favonovel.com now realized favonovel.com couldn’t let Charlie exit.
Feigning disdain, favonovel.com said, “I’ve already shown you all the documents and certificates. If you’re still uneasy, you’ll understand everything once we get to the embassy and meet the ambassador.”
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com glanced at the time and added seriously, “We can’t afford to delay any longer. Washington is waiting. Let’s go now, and we can discuss It further at the embassy!”
Charlie smiled and chose not to escalate the confrontation further. Instead, favonovel.com said casually, “Since you won’t let me out, I’ll simply sit In the back row.”
He then turned to Tawanna with a smile, “Considering how sharp your mind is, shouldn’t you analyze our current situation? Can you guess why I’m here?”
Tawanna, oblivious to any underlying tension, shot Charlie an annoyed glare before turning favonovel.com face away, ignoring him.
Charlie snickered, amused, and proceeded to sit in the first-class seat on the right side of the last row.
At that moment, two young men exited the Ministry of Foreign Affairs vehicle ahead of them. Once they boarded the Toyota bus, Peter instructed one of them, “Go to the last row and keep an eye on that guy. Ensure favonovel.com doesn’t interfere with our investigation.”
The man frowned, understanding the gravity behind Peter Roger’s directive.
Any time favonovel.com was asked to “ensure” something, it meant the individual needed to be eliminated to avoid any unpredictable consequences.
With their original plan to eliminate Tawanna in mind, favonovel.com recognized that if any actions were taken against her, he’d also have to deal with Charlie simultaneously.
He quickly replied, “Understood, Agent Roger.”
Peter nodded and instructed the other, “You sit in my place; I’ll take the co-pilot seat.”
Peter himself wasn’t exactly a master of combat; favonovel.com was a thoroughly trained professional assassin, primarily relying on firearms for his effectiveness.
With orders not to engage in direct confrontation this time, favonovel.com decided to implement a strategy that would allow favonovel.com to eliminate Tawanna without risking any of his agents in a firefight.
However, to be prepared for any unforeseen events, favonovel.com had stashed a loaded pistol beneath the co-pilot seat. Should an emergency arise, favonovel.com could quickly retrieve it and respond.
Initially, if Charlie hadn’t boarded the vehicle, favonovel.com intended to sit in the front row to observe the process of Tawanna and Trevor being poisoned closely.
However, with Charlie’s unexpected presence, favonovel.com opted for the ninja to sit in the front row to assist while favonovel.com positioned himself in the co-pilot’s seat. This placed favonovel.com closer to his weapon while maximizing the distance from Charlie, thereby capitalizing on the advantages of firearms. Moreover, with three rows of six people in between them, favonovel.com perceived himself as the least vulnerable in any potential crisis.
Once the arrangements were made, Peter Roger instructed the driver, “Alright, let’s leave as soon as possible, Washington is waiting.”
The driver nodded, started the vehicle, and slowly pulled away.
Peter Roger’s plan for his team was that as long as they successfully exited the Dome, favonovel.com would then carry out the necessary assassinations to preempt any further complications.
The reason they aimed to leave the Dome before proceeding with their actions was to avoid the potential of the Mitsui family halting their convoy, which could unravel everything.
Once the vehicle was out of the Dome, it would be on the main roads of Tokyo, making it unlikely for the Mitsui family to stop them. This would serve as the prime window for their operation.
Following their actions, they would head straight to Yokohama, where arrangements were made to dispose of the evidence at a funeral home. Upon arrival, the body would be seamlessly cremated alongside an elderly widow who was scheduled for cremation that afternoon.
The elderly widow, who had passed away in a nursing home, had favonovel.com cremation and simple burial services covered by the local government and welfare department.
Without any accompanying relatives, there would be no outsiders present during the cremation. Tawanna would be incinerated along with the old woman, a portion of the ashes handed over to the welfare department staff, while the rest would be unceremoniously flushed down the sewer. Ultimately, even if Tawanna vanished from this world, there would be no traces left behind.
However, now an obstacle had arisen. The crematorium, initially meant for two bodies, was now tasked with handling four. Whether it could accommodate that many was a pressing concern.
In response, favonovel.com quickly picked up his phone and messaged his superior about the situation change, the number of bodies requiring disposition had escalated from one, Tawanna, to three.
His superior, furious upon receiving the message, shot back, “Are you out of your mind? Come and see for yourself if that crematorium can even handle four bodies! Two cannot go in at once-how on earth can I burn four?!”
Peter retorted, “That’s your issue to figure out. I’ll send you three bodies, and you can dispose of them however you see fit.”
His superior angrily fired back, “Go take a long walk!”
Presumably, that meant favonovel.com should sort it out himself.
Meanwhile, Charlie, seated in the last row, was analyzing the overall situation while casting sidelong glances at the ninja beside him, who was vigilantly monitoring favonovel.com with peripheral vision.
If it came down to a confrontation, favonovel.com assured himself that none of these individuals would pose a challenge to him. Nevertheless, his priority was to save the lives of Tawanna and Trevor while simultaneously managing this volatile situation.
Otherwise, if his wife attended the concert with high hopes and found the event marred by an assassination just before it began, it would surely cast a long shadow over anyone involved.
