Peter Roger had never encountered someone quite like Charlie before, especially in a tense situation where Charlie seemed so fearless, as if he were in the jaws of a tiger. Initially, this made Peter feel a bit uneasy.


    With a frown, he snapped, “I am a CIA agent and the lead investigator for this case. Since you’re in our vehicle, you need to follow our orders! Do you think this is your living room where you can lounge as you please?”


    Charlie, showing his impatience, shot back, “I want to sit in thest row. What are you going to do about it? Kill me? Remember, even if you are a CIA agent, you have no authority here in Japan. If you dare toy a finger on me, I will take you down immediately!”


    He added, “Oh, and by the way, I should remind you that I’m not American; I’m Chinese! As an American CIA agent on Japanese soil, you have no power over me. To put it bluntly, you don’t even register in my eyes!”


    Peter Roger was taken aback by Charlie’s unwavering demeanor; he clearly wasn’t joking.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Although Peter had taken many lives before, he had never met someone as resolute as Charlie, who seemed ready to face death.


    He wondered, “Why is this guy so insistent on getting in the car? For me, eliminating one more person would just mean handling another body, so why is he acting so defiantly?”


    However, Peter realized that the priority was to move quickly and not to linger. Arguing with Charlie could jeopardize the entire operation.


    With a forced calm, he told Charlie, “Fine! If you want to sit in thest row, go ahead!”


    Charlie smirked and muttered under his breath, “What a pathetic agent. What’s there to be proud of? You’ll still have to ept your defeat!”


    Making sure Peter could hear, Charlie’s words only fueled Peter’s frustration, making him want to shout.


    Yet, considering the bigger picture, he restrained himself and picked up the inte, saying, “Contact the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ car ahead and request two staff members toe to our vehicle.”<f6b> Official source is find{n}ovel</f6b>


    Charlie had imed to be a bodyguard, and unaware of his true abilities, Peter decided to summon two ninjas for safety.


    Charlie brushed him off and walked to the back. As he passed the second row, Tawana, looking surprised, couldn’t help but ask, “What are you doing?! What does this have to do with you?”


    Charlie replied coolly, “It’s not your car, so why do you care?”


    His response left Tawana momentarily speechless.


    After all, she was also seated in someone else’s vehicle, and since Charlie chose to join in, she really had no authority over him.


    Thinking quickly, Tawana shot back, “Fine, I can’t stop you from getting in the car, but I want to know who gave you the right to pretend to be my bodyguard?!”


    With that, she red at Charlie, waiting for his answer, a smirk on her face.


    Charlie was genuinely taken aback, and several onlookers, including Peter Roger, were equally shocked.


    They had all assumed Charlie was really Tawana’s bodyguard, only to discover he was an imposter.


    This revtion raised rms in their minds, as they began to question Charlie’s true intentions for boarding the vehicle and his insistence on staying.


    Charlie gave Tawana a thumbs-up and coldly remarked, “Nice one! You’re quick on your feet.”


    Peter Roger red at Charlie and demanded, “Who are you?! Since you’re not Miss Sweet’s bodyguard, I need you to get out of the car immediately!”


    Though Peter felt an urge to eliminate Charlie to ease his frustration, he understood that creating more trouble was unwise. One unexpectedplication had already exceeded his ns, and adding Charlie to the mix would only escte issues.


    Thus, he hoped Charlie would take it upon himself to leave.


    Charlie looked back at Peter and retorted defiantly, “Alright, I won’t pretend anymore. I’m going to be straightforward with you. I suspect you’re not a CIA agent at all, so I n to follow you to see what you’re up to. If you don’t like it, I’ll ask Mr. Mitsui to make a call to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the U.S. Embassy in Japan to verify your ims. How does that sound?”


    Peter Roger’s heart sank.


    The day had gone smoothly so far because he had meticulously prepared a plethora of forged documents that could easily pass as authentic.


    Moreover, he had constructed convincing reasons, leveragingmon knowledge that everyone tacitly epted, making it seem reasonable for the CIA to investigate Tawana at this moment. However,


    if Mitsui Yoshitaka decided to verify the situation with the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he would soon uncover the truth behind the facade.


    Realizing this, Peter, who previously wanted Charlie to exit the vehicle, found himself reluctant to let Charlie leave now.


    Feigning indifference, he stated, “I’ve presented all my credentials. If you’re still uneasy, you’ll understand everything once we arrive at the embassy and meet the ambassador.”


    As he spoke, he checked the time and added seriously, “We can’t afford any more dys. Washington is waiting for us. Let’s get going! We can discuss this further when we reach the embassy!”


    Charlie chuckled but chose not to push back further. Instead, he casually remarked, “Since you won’t let me leave, I’ll just sit in thest row.”
