Byung-Ho's full focus was on his computer screen while his hands typed swiftly on the keyboard in front of him. Agent Cross watched in awe as Byung-Ho traced each post on the Rapid1 information board back to its original posters.
I'll find them. Whoever's doing this crap... I was already humiliated enough. And now I have to deal with this!
His fingers sped up as he caught onto a lead. He analyzed each post and realized that only one person was spreading the posts. Even though each person's information is hidden behind a thick wall of code and security, there is always a way to track down the perpetrator.
Hm?
Byung-Ho stared at the username of the person who was spreading the videos and pictures of him in a dress.
"Anonymous112... this guy seems to be on my a** huh?"
Agent Cross glanced at Byung-ho with a slightly worried expression.
"Agent Phony, calm down... everyone's staring at us."
Byung-Ho paused and slowly glanced up from his computer screen. All the agents were staring at where the loud typing noise was coming from.
What do these guys think they're looking at? This is super important!!
He slammed his fists on his desk and glared across the room.
"What do you guys want? Huh?"
The agents quickly looked away. A few awkward coughs could be heard as the room became silent.
Byung-Ho sighed and gripped his hair while staring at his computer screen.
Damn.. I thought I had a few leads, but they all led to nothing.
After a few more attempts of trying to breach the security system, Byung-Ho eventually gave up. He leaned back in his chair and let out a loud, annoyed sigh.
"This is bull crap."
No matter how hard I try, the things I learned during my training days are useless. That means...
Byung-Ho paused and stood up all of a sudden. His eyes widened as he realized an important detail.
"Sh*t. Agent Cross, get up. We're going to go visit someone."
He cracked his knuckles with a devious grin on his face.
Agent Cross quickly stood up along with Byung-Ho and smiled excitedly.
"Who are we going to see? Is it the Flango Mafia group down the street?"
He was practically jumping up and down from excitement.
...
Is this guy an idiot?
"No..? Where did you get that idea?"
Byung-Ho tucked his chair underneath his desk and steadied his tie.
"You'll see when we get there."
Agent Cross nodded and quickly followed behind Byung-Ho as he stepped into the elevator. Byung-Ho glanced back at his desk before the elevator door closed and realized that Agent Cross's chair wasn't tucked underneath the table like his own. Instead, it stuck out in the middle of the aisle.
That guy is even messy at work, huh? No wonder his agency couldn't tolerate him. Must've been why he was transferred here.
The silence was awkward as the elevator departed for the lower floors. Byung-Ho leaned against the railings as he tapped his foot. He cleared his throat and glanced at Agent Cross.
"So.. why were you transferred here? I don't think you were only sent here to 'bond' with me.. right?"
Agent Cross turned to look at Byung-Ho, almost like he was waiting for that question.
"Well, I really liked our chemistry! I asked the agency to transfer me here, and they accepted right away!"
...
I knew it.
Byung-Ho cleared his throat again and tried to smile at Agent Cross.
"Wow... your agency must really... like you... or something."
Agent Cross nodded while pointing at himself with a huge smile across his face.
"That's right! I'm the son of the FOR Agency head."
...
What?
Byung-Ho silently stared at Agent Cross for a few seconds.
"You know... Flight of Right Agency? I'm the son of the boss."
Crap. This guy was THAT important?
Ding
The elevator door opened, however, Byung-ho was unable to move due to how shocked he was at the new revelation.
"Oh.. that's nice."
He stuffed his hands in his pockets and took a step out of the elevator without looking back.
It all makes sense now... Agent Cross is a nepo baby! No wonder he has such strange tendencies.
Agent Cross tilted his head and quickly kept up with Byung-Ho.
"So where are we going?"
"Be patient."
Byung-Ho led Agent Cross to the Rapid1 sleeping headquarters. Byung-Ho paused and stopped Agent Cross from entering the tall building.
"Have you been given a tour of our agency yet? This is where most of the agents live."
Agent Cross stared up at the building and tilted his head with slight confusion.
"So why don't you live here? It looks a lot better than your apartmen-"
Byung-Ho nudged Agent Cross with his elbow and gave him a stern glare.
"Be grateful that I'm even letting you stay at my place. This place... is like hell on earth."
Tak
The door to the sleeping headquarters suddenly opened and Agent Triple came out of the building. He looked at both Byung-Ho and Agent Cross with confusion.
"Agent Phony? I've already given the files to Agent Anchovy. Didn't I tell you to rest?"
...
"And who's that?"
Byung-Ho crossed his arms and sighed.
"You were on a mission with him before. He was the one who took out all the goons during the weird ring-stealing mission."
Agent Cross waved at Agent Triple and gave him a smile.
...
"I have no recollection of seeing this agent."
...
Agent Triple observed Agent Cross carefully. His cold eyes analyzed every little detail about the newcomer. Agent Cross stood still and continued to smile despite the scary man glaring at him.
Gosh, he's staring at him like he's prey...
Agent Triple eventually stopped when Byung-Ho spoke up again.
"He's not from this agency. He got transferred here from Flight of Right."
...
Agent Triple backed away and nodded at Byung-Ho.
"So why are you here? Did the Chief send you on another mission?"
Another mission? I hope not.
Byung-Ho shook his head and stepped around Agent Triple.
"I have my own problems to attend to. Oh.. which room is Agent Anchovy in?"
"Agent Anchovy? Do you have business with him?"
...
Byung-Ho couldn't hide his mischievous smile as he nodded.
"You could say that."
Agent Triple suddenly felt a chill run down his back after he saw Byung-Ho smile. He stepped back slightly and nodded.
"Okay.. follow me."
He turned around and re-entered the building.
The only person in Rapid1 who could obtain that footage of me.. and the only person who could block any attempt to breach the information board... there's only one guy I know who could do that. That vegetable bastard is going to get what's coming to him.
Agent Cross followed behind closely. He could feel the tension radiating amongst them as they went up the elevator. This only fueled Agent Cross's excitement.
After they reached floor 4, Agent Triple led the group in front of a door labeled 401.
There was a large sign on the door with the words "NOT HOME" in big bold letters.
...
SLAM
Byung-Ho kicked the door with all his strength, surprising Agent Triple and Cross.
"Bastard! Come out right now!"
BANG BANG BANG
He continued to kick at the door before they heard a voice coming from an intercom.
"Agent Phony? What brings you to my door?"
Just hearing his voice pisses me off.
"Open up and then I'll explain."
Byung-Ho glanced around the hallway and turned to look at a camera in the corner of the room.
"I know you can see me. Let us in and I'll be gentle, okay?"
Agent Anchovy laughed and crossed his legs as he watched the trio from the comfort of his room. He sat at his computer desk and grinned before speaking through his intercom again.
"I doubt you're here for anything civil. You're quite hot-headed, aren't you?"
Damned bastard! Who's hot-headed???
Byung-Ho slammed on the door again before Agent Triple pulled him away and knocked on the door politely.
"I'm sorry for startling you, Agent Anchovy. We are only here because I forgot to hand you some information... and Agent Phony had to retrieve the information for me."
Agent Anchovy pondered for a moment as he tapped his foot on the ground.
"Are you sure? Agent Phony doesn't seem like he's here to tell me some information."
Agent Cross tapped on Byung-Ho's shoulder before stepping in front of the door.
"I'm here to introduce myself as a new member of the agency! Will you please let us in?"
Agent Anchovy tapped his finger against his desk as he tried to figure out the best action to take.
"Hm... you guys are very desperate to enter my room..."
Beep
He suddenly pressed a large red button on his desk.
"Fine. I'll hear you out."
Clack
The door suddenly opened, revealing a room full of mechanical devices that Byung-Ho had never seen before.
Woah.. sick room.
...
But! I'm not here to gawk at someone's room!
Byung-Ho quickly entered the room and searched around for Agent Anchovy.
"Where are you, huh??"
Agent Tiple and Agent Cross followed from behind.
Agent Anchovy emerged from one of the rooms while scratching his messy hair.
"Why are you so eager to see me-"
BAM
