AN ACE RETURNS

6: National Secret Agent II

Jace had always grown up struggling to make ends meet.

With no solid work to support him and his family, he hadn't been able to boast of having a steady job he could be proud of... making ends meet had always been a harsh work.

But at that time he got something that actually appreciated his effort.

He worked hard in this agency and was constantly praised and rewarded for his efforts by the Superiors and Government. Especially in cash!

It was pretty obvious that he kept growing into one of the top-secret spies in his department and even kept growing beyond that.

While accumulating money and fame in his area of work, it was no surprise that in a few years, he had climbed to the ladder of the High class!

He had gotten massively rich in this process and his worth was even more than those millionaires, billionaires and even trillionaires out there.

He didn't even know how high his level of financial power was. But he knew they were really high.

It was something rewarding to him after years of working and accumulating knowledge in this sly area.

He was rewarded for it. His hard work had really paid off.

He had worked hard for the Spy agency and had gotten high payment for it and also the grand recognition from the government for his good job.

And even won Grand Awards for it.

One could consider him almost top in his work area now.

And right now he was a senior in his area of work. He had advanced quickly and had become a senior spy. So he wasn't held up by the Agency' anymore.

Top spies like him roam free and mix up with others and normal people. They could work with different Identities. So they pick one or two.

Because they had qualified certificates in them all and could live and work as the ones chosen, for example, a doctor or lawyer.

That were the identities and occupations they acquired in their training days and even after. It helped them in their different missions which required those.

And while living their normal life, they would also get missions.. but it'd be less because they were seniors.

And they'd only get ones which are high and difficult for lower levels. But since they were living normally, they were partly independent and could do what they wished to do.

That was Jace's life now. And it was actually a life he had valued since he got what he wanted, not illegally but doing the right thing.

******

In a while, the limousine had pulled over right before a five-star hotel, one of the biggest hotels in the city.

And as Jace stared at it, his driver asked.

"I could ask for a Mansion to be arranged for you. Do you have to stay here?" His driver inquired.

"I will stay here for a while. It's fine by me. And I'll tell you when I'm ready to move out so don't worry," He expressed with a smile as he got out of the Limousine, "I'll call you when I need you."

Jace was walking through the hotel and heading to his room when he couldn't help but notice something.

Had paused to see a man intimidating a young lady. And some people had even gathered to view this scene.

"This wasn't our deal at all! You had promised me a better pay but how could you give me this in the end?" The lady questioned. "Don't you think you're being a jerk?!"

"Your wretched thing! How can you talk to me in that manner? Don't you even know your worth, you bitch!" He snapped as he landed a hard slap on her face.

The lady fell to the fall from the slap.

"You! Talk in more words and I'll make you pay for it! Must I pay you? It's my choice to do so..so stop disturbing me!" He snapped.

Jace watched the lady on the floor. She had gotten hurt and this man was still not even considering her. He was still threatening to step on her.

This wasn't the first time Jace saw them. Actually, this lady had come here the previous day demanding her payment from this rich jerk.. but the man kept denying her of it and even threatened to beat her.

What made it all worse was the fact that no one was doing anything! It happened that people were afraid of this man over here. Because he was extremely wealthy here in the hotel so they wanted to give him that respect.

Jace found it annoying.

With a sigh, he took up the initiative himself and walked up to the scene. He approached the man who was about to kick the lady on the back and kicked off his legs.

"Ouch!" He kicked the man's leg so hard that he almost fell to the floor.

Stunned, the man turned to look at Jace, "Who the hell are you? And how dare you kick me? Do you have a death wish or something? Do you even know who I am? Don't you know that I can end you right here now!?" The man was extremely pissed.

But Jace didn't seem bothered at all. He had a calm expression as he stared at the man, "Don't you know that being a gentleman is something credible? And do you think what you're doing is gentlemanly? Pay the lady now and stop being a jerk," He expressed coldly.

People around were shocked at his nerve to approach this man. They already knew who he was so they didn't bother to interfere because they didn't want to get into any trouble!

But Jace didn't seem bothered at all.

And that made the man even more annoyed, "WTF? What did you say? What did you call me? A jerk! It's like you don't even know who I am!" He snapped at him.

"And do I need to know who you are?" Jace slapped back at him.
