"What's taking secret agent 001 so long? Did he fail to kill Zarak?"
About a kilometer from the mansion, Jared stood hidden among the bushes, frowning.
He had come with secret agent 001 to kill Zarak, yet more than ten minutes had passed, and the agent had not appeared.
By all estimates, killing Zarak shouldn't have taken more than five minutes. Strangely, 001 had already exceeded that time.
"Could 001 have had an accident?"
The thought flickered briefly in his mind, but he dismissed it immediately. That was impossible.
Among the ten secret agents, 001 was the strongest and most experienced. He had served since the previous emperor's reign and had even been part of the prince's forces, the ones who had opposed Ragan.
When the prince was defeated and sentenced to death by Ragan, secret agent 001 had managed to escape before being discovered by Roswell and later became his subordinate.
