”What does a secret agent from the CIA need from me Mr. Hudson?” Wolf King asked the blonde man as if they were best buddies.

Martin Hudson was surprised about Wolf King's knowledge regarding his true identity, because getting classified informations from CIA was as hard as climbing the gates of hell.

And even in the agency, he was not called by his real name, but by his codename. His codename in the agency was...

”Knight, or should I call you Martin Hudson? Lives in Holly Cove St Franklin, Virginia. Passed first in the Applicant Physical Abilities Exam with his superb physical abilities. Your wife, Mary, died after giving birth to your third child. And you are also a father of three pretty children, namely Linda, Nancy and Stacey, such pretty little girls I say.” Wolf King's gaze was soft and full of adoration, but Martin felt the hidden message from Wolf King's words.

He was obviously threatening him!

”You... You... how did you know all that?” Martin sighed and a look of defeat and exhaustion can be seen on his face.

Wolf King merely smiled at him and waited for the man to talk.

Martin shook his head after producing another heavy sigh. He knew that the man was just waiting for him to speak.

”We heard about an advanced Artificial Intelligence installed inside your tower and... and the higher ups were thinking that you might be hiding something else that could threaten the balance of the world.” Martin spoke calmly while studying his surroundings with his peripheral vision.

”You don't need to look elsewhere Mr. Hudson. You have no hopes of escaping here. Now tell me, if you guys were only interested with our Artificial Intelligence, why do you have to ambush my men in Comoros as well?” Wolf King was still smiling brightly at Martin with his one leg on top of the other. His casualness was like he was merely talking with a good friend, but his beautiful silver eyes looked cold from Martin's point if view.

”I... We... We wanted to get an evidence against Shannon as well, because his name was included on the list of people that needs to be monitored closely. We also got information that he will do a trade in Comoros, thus the agency sent us to ambush you and get the evidence.” Martin answered honestly. He was obviously afraid that Wolf King would kill his daughters. Even if they were closely guarded by the agency, he still did not feel safe and thought that it wasn't enough, especially after confronting with Santharus in Comoros.

'This man will turn the world's balance of powers upside down. It was wrong to provoke him.' He thought in regret. He could have declined the mission, but he could not do so after hearing the tempting offer that the agency promised him.

”You killed one of my men and injured one severely. I commend your strength and I would have recruited you if not for your background.” Wolf King shook his head with a regretful look.

”Slash!”

A slashing sound can be heard as Wolf King moved his right hand at an inconceivable speed.

Martin saw his vision turned upside down and he can still see the bright smile from Wolf King.
