IQ:The methaphoric era

chapter 16: acquired part 4

AGENT I.Q. entered the walls of Europe, where the king awaited him. As he stepped down from the vehicle, the king spoke, "AGENT I.Q., the smartest agent of the land of Asia. How can such an intelligent agent surrender himself so easily? Nonetheless, it's my pleasure to have such a great agent in my prison."

I.Q. didn't reply but simply smiled back. Meanwhile, in the Indian resident, at team 9 headquarters, an agent spotted something in the newspaper.

"Captain! Captain!" the agent shouted while rushing over.

"What's the matter?!" asked the captain of team 9, AGENT R.K.

"The...the newspaper!" replied the agent.

"What's in the newspaper?" inquired AGENT R.K. as he took the newspaper.

As he read, he abruptly stood up and dashed to room number 41, knocking urgently. "P.Q., come out quickly!" he urged.

"What's wrong, Captain?" asked AGENT P.Q.

"I.Q....has been arrested by European agents at the Turk resident," replied R.K.

"Big...brother is arrested!" exclaimed P.Q. in shock.

As they spoke, the landline began to ring.

"Indian resident team 9 captain speaking. Who is this?" inquired AGENT R.K.

"AGENT E.Y. speaking," replied E.Y.

"E.Y., who are you?" asked R.K.

"I and I.Q. are the commanders of the Asian troops, and I need to tell you something. Listen carefully," said E.Y.

Meanwhile, in Europe, I.Q. found himself alone in the prison. Suspecting something amiss, he noticed the king of Europe approaching.

"Hey...I.Q., how are you, buddy?" asked the king sarcastically.

"What are you doing here?" inquired I.Q.

"Don't Asians give respect to anyone, or is there a problem?" retorted the king sarcastically.

"We don't give respect to a criminal like you, who tries to kill innocent people," replied I.Q.

"Innocent? In the conflicts that occurred many years ago, you Asians wiped out half of the population," accused the king.

"We know that, and we apologized for it. We were also charged as war criminals. You were the one who started the conflicts, and I know Europeans felt aggrieved by it," countered I.Q.

"Europeans, my foot. I want revenge. You all killed my family members!" declared the king.

"That's in the past! We've moved on, and so should you," replied I.Q.

"It may be the past for you, I.Q., but for me, it's motivation for revenge. Tomorrow, you'll be executed in front of the Europeans," threatened the king.

I.Q. fell silent, contemplating what might happen if his plan failed. Little did he know, this ordeal would transform him in ways unimaginable.
