Chapter 12 The Awkward Nyx
This was a Japanese mansion.
After the man walked in, a servant took off his shoes for him, and the driver opened the wooden door for him.
The man said, “Tokugawa, long time no see.”
Tokugawa who was kneeling in the mansion hurriedly stood up when he saw the man. Tokugawa bowed respectfully to him and said in good spirit,
“Takeshi, how are you? We haven’t seen each other for more than two years since we parted in Tokyo.”
Tokugawa was touched, “Yes, indeed. I always remembered our time at the University of Tokyo. It was dreamlike.”
Then, they knelt at the table and drank sake, reminiscing about their time at the university.
Although they complained about trivial things and asked about each other’s lives, they were always absent-minded.
“Alright, Takeshi, that’s enough gossip. You know why I’m here, and I know what you’re doing. Now I have a suitable deal. Are you interested in taking over?”
Finally getting to the main topic, the two of them sat up straight and looked at each other with great interest.
Tokugawa took a sip of sake calmly and continued, “I have an extremely important information in my hands. Our government is using all of power to protect a very important person. I have a manuscript in my hands right now.”
When he heard Tokugawa’s words, Takeshi’s hand holding the drink stopped in mid-air.
He realized Tokugawa’s information must be significant.
“So, what do you want?”
Takeshi did not question the details and simply asked for the price.
He wanted to determine the importance of this information by asking for the price.
“One billion dollars!”
Tokugawa thought for a moment and then gave a rather high price.
Moreover, he was confident that Takeshi would pay for this information.
Then, Takeshi smiled.
At this moment, in the Room 7014 of the Queens Apartment, Reidon bought a lot of things and went home.
It was twelve o’clock.
They started to cook together.
Some dishes were already half-cooked and could be served readily.
And there was a huge plate of roast chicken.
About an hour later, a table full of delicious food was finally ready.
After working for so long, everyone was hungry.
They ate and talked about things on campus.
These people were all professionally trained agents. They had more than a dozen identities that could be used at any time.
The female agents could easily lower or raise their age of more than ten years by simply changing their hairstyle and makeup.
These were the scripts that they needed to practice every day. There would always have a few flaws if normal people suddenly disguised themselves as another ones.
But the secret agents would fantasize for years that another people were living in their bodies.
They would constantly add details to make the script richer and more moving. They would even hire Hollywood screenwriters to write scripts specifically for them.
Everyone here had their own scripts.
Nyx was the president of the students’ union. She was very outstanding. She was a top student in every subjects and races. She was also willing to help others. She had never been in a relationship. Her grades were exceptional in school.
The man named Leon was the vice president of the union. He had always been Nyx’s assistant. He was good at data analysis and operating computers.
The youngest one, Nancy, was born in a wealthy family. Her parents were both elites in society, but she was unwilling to accept help from her family. She found a job on her own to accumulate experience in the society. Her dream was to start her own business.
They all had a comprehensive story.
After all, the Five Eyes Alliance was a super organization that had existed for more than a hundred years. It had five top plot designers in this country.
They would not make a mistake in their disguises.
Not to mention secretly approaching a person, they could even subvert a small country.
“How about it? Is it good?” Nancy asked.
“It’s so good. It tastes like a meal at a five-star hotel.”
“Do you cook at home?”
“I don’t have time to cook. I have to go to work.”
“It’s okay. We can cook. If you want to eat something, just tell us.”
“That’s a little embarrassing.”
“It’s okay. We’re roommates. We three were going to cook every day. It doesn’t matter to cook more.”
“Thank you, then.”
Reidon felt warm in his heart. He did not expect to meet such sincere people after working for so many years.
This was completely different from the food he ate in the hotel with his clients when he wanted to sell insurance.
This meal contained a lot of warmth.
“But after the meal, you have to help me,” Nyx said.
“Of course, no problem,” Reidon said.
They had just moved here. There were also many sets of luggage in the living room. The two women found it difficult to move their luggage by themselves.
Reidon came to help.
After moving for a while, he felt exhausted.
The two women had a lot of boxes, and they were very heavy. He did not know what they had brought, but he did not ask. He didn’t want to intrude on their privacy.
“There’s no need to move those boxes. Leave them in the living room!”
Seeing that Reidon was about to move the last three giant boxes into the bedroom, Nyx hurriedly stopped him.
Hearing Nyx’s words, Reidon heaved a long sigh of relief.
Because he really couldn’t move those last three boxes anymore.
Reidon found his mission was done, so he wanted to take a shower.
After he moved so many big boxes, Reidon was covered in sweat.
He just took a step to the bathroom before he was stopped by Nyx.
“Don’t leave yet. Please help me open the boxes in the bedroom.”
So Reidon had to help Nyx open the boxes in the bedroom one by one.
After opening them for a while, Reidon found that there were only two boxes left. He opened one of them and found that a case in the box was not properly sealed.
Some clothes also came out from the case.
He turned around and looked Nyx who was making her bed and had no time to talk with him.
Reidon wanted to say something, but he saw that Nyx was so busy.
Then he thought it was a small matter and there was no need to call Nyx. He planned to take the clothes out by himself.
At random, Reidon pulled out a corner of a black shirt out of the box.
But unexpectedly, Reidon felt awkward after he pulled it out.
He found that it wasn’t a shirt at all.
Its fabric was very smooth.
There was a circle of lace trimmed at the edge of the fabric.
Or it could be…
Nyx’s underwear.
Its style was very sexy.
Reidon was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, Nyx kneeled on the bed with her back to him, so she didn’t notice.
Reidon knew he should hurriedly stuff the underwear back.
But just as he was about to stuff it back, Nyx turned her head and found Reidon was squatting on the ground with her underwear in his hand.
They looked at each other. Embarrassment rooted them to the spot.
They were dumbfounded as if the time was still.
