[Opening the Mission File]

[Mission Level: Top Secret]

[Mission file opened]

[Drug trafficking funds were suspected to be transferred to several shadow accounts in the Rosewood Family Company. The leader of the Rosewood Family was allegedly involved in shipping drugs to various countries. The arrested dealers claimed that the goods came from someone with the nickname High Roses.]

[Your mission, if you accept it, is to discover the true identity of High Roses. Destroy the drug factory and arrest the people involved in it.]

[Agents have the right to use their assets, including Prime's ability to carry out orders or investigations]

[If you are captured, The Red Eye will not admit to anything you did. If you succeed, you will be informed of your next mission.]

[Done]

[Mission file Encrypted]

James nodded slowly. The man, who was gifted with high intelligence, was able to understand the meaning of the mission explanation that Prime displayed. Since this mission was related to the Rosewood Family, he only needed to pretend to be James Rickon, not James Lawrence.

"Tell me, Prime. What can you do?" asked James, curious.

[I can do anything related to the internet and networking]

"Then prove it to me. Turn off all the electricity in this block," James pleaded.

[Yes. Sir]

[Initiates access to the main network]

Instantly the lights in the place turned off, as far as two blocks away. James stood in shock, his eyes turning right and left, watching the lights go out. The man was indeed impressed by what Prime could do.

"Impressive. You're going to help me a lot on this mission," James praised.

[I am a system. I am driven by codes and algorithms. Your orders are assignments to me."]

Not long after, the power came back on in the place. Prime disconnected its control from the main network, so officials began repairing the power lines deliberately cut off. Seeing the rain begin to stop, James began to walk away from the bus stop to Rosewood's mansion.

Although his heart was still wounded by Caroline's betrayal. James knows that Caroline is a way for him to enter the Rosewood family; there is no other way except to become Caroline's husband.

James walked on the muddy road. From a distance, the man's two eyes saw a luxury car parked outside the Rosewood residence. Judging from the luxurious black sedan-type car, James was sure it belonged to Caroline's affair.

As James was about to walk to the back door, a suspicious man in a white suit and long pants came out of the house. His right hand was seen carrying his black suit.

Even more surprising, Caroline was seen coming out of the house in her sleeping pajamas. She smiles innocently, waving at the man she's having an affair with.

James hid behind the trees near the Rosewood mansion. His eyes carefully focused on the black car, especially the license plate.

"Identify the owner of the car and the type of car it is, Prime," James requested.

[Yes, Sir.]

[Identification started]

[Owner: Mason Bellingham.]

[Age: 27 years old]

[Occupation: Marketing Director of Alive Corp]

[Car type: Electric car]

"Electric car? It's connected to the network," James said.

[Yes, Sir]

An evil idea came to James' mind after learning that Caroline's mistress was driving an electric car. He planned to use Prime's ability to drive the car.

"I have orders for you, Prime."

James pointed at Mason's electric car, "Take over that car and drive it by you. Crash it into the nearest gas station."

[Yes, Sir]

After saying a sweet goodbye to Caroline, Mason was seen getting into his car. Prime began to show his ability. The car door closed itself, and there was a shout from inside the car, which was none other than Mason.

"What happened, dear?" asked Caroline, confused.

"I can't control this car," said Mason.

"Try switching to manual driving mode," Caroline pleaded. Mason shook his head.

The car's rear wheels spun quickly, driving forward until it scared Caroline, who was standing outside the house. When Caroline was about to go in to get her phone, James walked over to catch her attention.

"Honey? Did you get stuck in the rain earlier?" asked Caroline, foregoing entry to welcome her husband.

"Yes. Sorry I didn't tell you I was working late," said James.

"It's okay, honey. I completely understand," Caroline replied.

With her sweet smile, Caroline invited James to enter the house. She still looked nervous, although she didn't show it before James. The front door of the Rosewood house opened, James' eyes saw the sandwich he bought for Caroline already on the table.

"You must be tired, right? I'll make you dinner," Caroline replied, walking into the room to grab something, her phone, of course.

As James sat on the long sofa, a message came through the lens of his glasses. A piece of information that was certainly exciting for James' heart that had been hurt.

[The order has been completed]

"Thank you, Prime," James said.

He picked up the remote and turned on the news channel, hoping to find news about Mason's death. No one could have survived the explosion at the gas station.

Caroline seemed to walk over, her delicate hands pressed on her phone, ignoring James sitting casually on the sofa. James smiled sarcastically. He was sure Caroline was worried about Mason's current condition.

"Who are you calling at this late hour, honey?" asked James, pretending not to know.

"My friend. I wanted to ask about my job," Caroline replied, lying.

While Caroline was busy calling Mason's number, live news came on the TV screen. James, who was curious, began to raise the TV volume so that Caroline could hear it clearly.

Mason Bellingham's face appeared on the TV screen, not because of achievement but because he was the victim of an explosion at a gas station. The explosion was so big that the police had to put security parameters in place.

"No ... way," Caroline said, her eyes wide, just now she had sex with him.

"Poor guy. The news said Mason drove himself into the gas station. Is he depressed?" asked James, acting innocent.

"I'm a little sleepy all of a sudden, honey. Do you mind if I don't cook dinner for you?" asked Caroline.

James turned to his wife, looking agitated with teary eyes, his right hand trembling as he held his phone. James smiled. He didn't mind at all.

"Go to sleep, dear. I'm not really hungry either," James replied.

Caroline just nodded, walking languidly to her room to bury the sadness in her heart. However, it was different with James, who was still sitting on the sofa, watching the news on tv that cheered him up.

"I'm sure it's not just Mason, but there are other men you're dating. While investigating this case, I will make your life suffer for cheating on me, Caroline."

    James walked closer to his bedroom. His right hand reached for the doorknob and opened it quietly, making no noise. Through the crack of the open door, he could see Caroline burying her face in the pillow. The sound of her crying was clearly audible, considering the Rosewood house was quiet, just the two of them and some maids. James's mind was utterly chaotic; his heart was mixed between satisfaction and sadness at Caroline's condition. But as a spy agent, James must put aside the feelings in his heart for the success of his mission. He thought he had to eliminate all her mistresses and show himself as different from before to get Caroline's heart completely. James closed the door again slowly. To create the impression that he had come to the room, James opened it again by moving the doorknob pretty hard, giving Caroline a chance to respond. "It's been a long night. Are you feeling the same, dear?" asked James, acting normal as if nothing had happene

    Amelia said goodbye to James. She said she would go home early today to talk about many things with her brother that she had missed all this time. A luxurious black sedan drove up and parked in front of Amelia. Before she entered, the woman left a message that James could use all the facilities at the residence, including the helicopter or private jet parked on the runway of the city's airport. "Go, they'll be waiting for you," James explained. Amelia smiled sweetly and nodded her head. She left the Lawrence residence compound with her assistant; it took three SUVs to accompany her. Each SUV was filled with bodyguards and assistants. James focused his attention on the five-story mansion before him, where three men in military attire were still waiting for Tobias at the door. Seeing James walk up made one of the men who was the leader of the state intelligence agency, Red Eye, approach him. James knew who the man was: a short man with a thin bo

    The phone call ended, James gave the phone back to Gilbert. He fully understood what the president wanted, especially since the current situation could be considered urgent. The spread of drugs was worrying, having a significant negative impact on the nation's generation. James knew why this task had been given to him. "He has high hopes for you, Mr Lawrence. He has even chosen his best people to help you in your duty," Colonel Gilbert explained, putting his phone back into the pocket of his military shirt. He sat on a single-seat sofa, poured his best wine into his glass, and took one sip, "I will choose my own men." "But the president wants it in person. He wants to make sure that you are carrying out this mission well," Gilbert explained. "So, the President doesn't trust me and my men?" asked James, squinting both eyes with a sharp glare, making Gilbert clumsy. "It's not like that. He just doesn't trust them yet," Gilbert replied.

    Evening. There was a soft knock on the door of James' study; a waitress stood waiting with both hands, holding a tray of snacks for James. The woman was still standing and reluctant to come in until instructed to do so by James. From the other direction, the lift doors opened, and Amelia arrived in her blazer suit. She looked ahead and saw the maid standing at attention before James' study, continuing to say that she had brought the food just as he had ordered. Amelia had a smile on her beautiful white face. She approached the woman, which immediately caught the maid’s attention. "Is that for James?" asked Amelia. The woman instantly turned her head, looking at Amelia's face, which was still shiny even though she had wor

    The next day. The James study door was opened slowly by Amelia. She had come to invite her brother to get breakfast, since he had missed dinner last night. Amelia's first glance noticed that there was nobody in the place, only files still scattered on James' desk. Amelia walked over, looking at each file with the word 'classified' written on it. "I wonder, what exactly is he working on?" Amelia said, wondering. The woman's attention was drawn to one of the folders with the words 'Gargoyles.08/12/2030.Top secret' printed on it. Out of curiosity, she carefully opened the folders. The first thing Amelia saw in the folder were three pictures of the victims of the Gargoyle group's distribution of DD pills. Amelia widened her eyes, screamed reflexively, and stepped away from the file. James, who was still in his room, getting ready in the shabby clothes he wore, was jolted to hear the scream coming from the room next to him. The man

    "Hmm ... I didn't expect you to dare me," Martin explained. "I've never been afraid of you all," said James. Martin seemed to pull his lip line up. He felt challenged to hear a loser like James say so. However, James chose not to extend the dispute in that place. Lawrence's private jet was already waiting for him at the city airport. Amelia called the Lawrence family's private pilot and told him to go to the airport. She did so after her phone rang and Prime informed her. Amelia didn't really believe him at first since there are many scams with AI. However, Prime explained in detail that it was James' private AI.

    James got out of the car that Amelia had pre-booked. He didn't go alone but with his two bodyguards. Unlike Zac, who visited the hotel to have fun with one of the escorts there. Carlos must have never expected James' arrival to this place, considering the Red Eye leader always said that James went on an important mission that could not be disturbed. James himself didn't know whether Carlos was on a mission or not at the moment. Since he couldn't contact him, the best he could do was go to him. He sat in the back row of the black sedan. Samuel was in charge of driving while Flynn sat near the driver. Carlos lived in a settlement around Cartuja Baja. He ran a restaurant in the area with his wife and children. As the car slowed down when it reached the residential area, Samuel's head moved right and left, trying to locate the restaurant in the surroundings. "Looks like that one," Samuel said, pointing towards a restaurant with Mexican tri

Their eyes watched James get into a white sedan."Should I send Lawrence's bodyguards there?" asked Amelia, wanting to help.James stopped what he was doing, standing beside the white sedan whose door was open. His head turned to the left, looking at Amelia and Ruth, who were standing side by side."There's no need. We can handle it," James said."Be careful," said Ruth, looking full of fear.

    "Oh, I see," James said.He had realized the Carran government would play along with the High Roses. Klaus interrogated Gilbert for seven hours, which was quite a struggle since Gilbert was military man.However, the more he held back, the more painful the torture Klaus gave him. In the fifth hour since the start of the interrogation, Gilbert began to reveal information about the High Roses and the Carran government."They intend to sell the vaccine for 50 Carra," Gilbert replied."That price is too high for the people to afford, especially people from the low middle class," Lara said."The government tried to negotiate the price, but there was no agreement between them," Gilbert said."If that is done, the patients from the poorer will die," James said."Mr. President doesn't really want to negotiate with criminals, but he has no other choice," Gilbert said.James sighed softly.

    It was a delicious and enjoyable breakfast, especially in the presence of a loved one. Caroline said the food was delicious, and she wanted to eat again tomorrow; James would gladly accompany her. James glanced at his watch, seeing that it was half past eight in the morning. Caroline had to leave so she wouldn't be late, and so did James. "I'll drive you," Caroline said. "Your office is quite far; it takes twenty minutes to get there," James said. "I can walk. You don't have to worry about me," said James. "Are you sure?" asked Caroline. James cleared his throat and nodded. His right hand lightly rubbed the woman's cheek before him, trying to convince Caroline that the woman

I never thought he was an HG," James said.Klaus nodded. He felt how hard it must have been for James to find out that one of his coworkers he knew was his current enemy.The man walked back to the long sofa. He sat down and placed his phone carelessly on the table, his expression still shocked."A few days earlier, I met with him. He said he had a reliable coworker," Thiago said."I didn't expect it to be you. What an interesting coincidence," Thiago said."SHIT!"

He brought the man upstairs with Thiago's bruised face and body."Welcome, Mr. Thiago," greeted James, standing up as he leaned against his wooden desk."Who the hell are you? What do you want from me?" Thiago asked.James didn't answer that question. Instead, he ordered Lorenzo to place Thiago in the center of the room, sitting with his feet and hands bound.He and Lara began to bind Thiago so the man could not easily escape.

    "Tch! No matter how much I ask, you will always be evasive," Issac said.The middle-aged man complained as he sighed softly. His right hand seemed to be massaging his left temple lightly, trying to ease the headache that was happening in his head in response to something as complicated as this."You are finally starting to understand me, Mr. Issac," James said.Issac fell silent right before James, the man's eyes watching James' movements. Issac sat back in his chair, as did James.He turned his head to the right, telling the two big men in black suits to leave. They, for some reason, obeyed Issac's orders."Let's keep it simple," Issac said."We'll pretend this conversation was n
