Overgeared

‘I guess he came out because he noticed I was watching him. There must be CCTV around me that I haven’t discovered.’

To be honest, he couldn’t understand it. The middle-aged man installed his base only after confirming that the area around posed no threats.

But he had to put his doubts aside. He’d set up his base among dense bushes. They were camouflaged, and so was the middle-aged. A person who was two kilometers away couldn’t have possibly spotted him.

How could Agnus make eye contact from that far away...?

The only explanation was that there was CCTV nearby. The man regained his senses and picked up the binoculars he had dropped.

He installed illegal facilities and monitored the garden of someone else’s residence. No matter his intention, he would get called a criminal if he got found out.

‘My employer only asked me to make sure that Agnus is okay.’

Now that he confirmed that Agnus was safe, his job was done. The middle-aged man immediately left his base. There was nothing else he needed to do before leaving. He had long abandoned the habit of leaving any traces behind.

“......”

He ran quickly along a trail that hadn’t been maintained for a long time. A sharp conifer grazed his skin, but he ignored the pain and quickened his pace. His vehicle was parked nearby. He ran for five more minutes.

“......!”

The middle-aged man’s eyes widened as he arrived in front of his car. A green-haired man was leaning against the bonnet of the car. He couldn’t believe that Agnus, who had been two kilometers away just minutes before, managed to get here before him.

The middle-agreed man was so surprised that he forgot to breathe the moment those icy, golden eyes looked at him.

“How the heck...?” he barely managed to ask.

Agnus looked him up and down. “Who sent you?” he asked. “I know you have no animosity toward me. If you tell the truth then I won’t hurt you.”

“......”

The middle-aged man regained his senses. He’d been tasked to find out if Agnus was alright. He had no intention of harming the man. On the contrary, he wanted to make sure that Agnus was safe and sound. He might’ve illegally installed CCTV and other devices around Agnus’ castle to monitor him, but...

If he got out of here safely, this incident could be easily shrugged off. There was no reason to be intimidated by a pale and skinny man who hadn’t seen the sun in years.

“I’m glad you understand that I have no bad intentions. I’m here because someone tasked me with finding out if you are safe. I will contact my employer soon to tell him the news. You will quickly discover who that is.”

The dark circles under Agnus’ eyes wrinkled. “Why don’t you just answer my question? Don’t be annoying.”

Looking closely, Agnus’ eyes were bloodshot. He looked exhausted. Agnus was known for his radical personality, but now, he looked very vulnerable.

“I can’t tell you anything else. Not revealing my employer’s personal information helps me maintain my reputation and my salary. As I said before, you will soon find out who my employer is...”

The middle-aged man was a special forces professional. He’d become strong by practicing various martial arts and undergoing tactical training. He was confident that he could easily deal with a civilian who locked himself in a room and only played games if things took a wrong turn.
