Lee was sitting in the room in handcuffs, waiting for someone to come and ask some stupid and unimportant questions. How long has it been. Lee doesn't feel anything like this.
"Hello Lee, how long have we not talked one-on-one like this huh," a middle-aged man entered the room while smoking a cigarette.
A man who is no stranger to Lee, he often helps Lee in the past, and even now, he is still helping his family.
"It's been a long time, inspector Oh."
"What are you doing this time? Didn't I tell you not to go crazy," he said as he sat down in front of Lee.
Lee just kept quiet and didn't utter a word.
"Gossshh.. is it because of your mother?"
Lee was still silent.
"If I were you, I would also do the same thing. But isn't this too much to break one officer's arm and make the other faint," he said while looking at Lee.
"I'm just doing my job as a child."
"Your job? Will your mother be happy with this? Will your mother be defended with this or whatever? You will only make her sadder and sadder..." suddenly, inspector Oh fell silent because he saw Lee's gaze.
"That's enough. I appreciate you because you are a close friend of my father, don't make me disrespect you because of this" a sharp look at him made him pause and sigh.
"Okay .. you're just like him," sighed Inspector Oh long.
"Then how are you going to handle this? I can help you, but it will be complicated" while taking another puff of his cigarette.
"I don't know," Lee fell silent again and didn't say anything else.
Inspector Oh is confused by Lee's response and reaction. We were silent for a long time until inspector Oh was about to leave and offer his assistance again.
"Listen, I can help you with this case. Even though it's going to be tough, I just hope you'll be patient while I'm at it."
"That doesn't need inspector Oh," suddenly a woman dressed in all black came and opened the interrogation door with a guard.
"Greetings, Miss Kyo," said the Inspector, respectfully to her,
"No need to be so formal, inspector Oh."
"What do you need here, miss?"
"I came to speak with him."
"What do you mean? Asked Inspector Oh.
"You don't need to know the Inspector. Can you leave us alone for a while? I want to chat with him"
"Okay.. enjoy your time," Immediately, he left Lee with a woman who was unknown and what her purpose was.
"Hello," Lee was silent and didn't really care about him.
"Okay, let me introduce myself first. My name is Kyo Hwang in.."
"Hwang in?" asked Lee in a surprised tone.
"Yes. Hwang in. Korea's current minister of defense. I am his daughter. And I am the director of Korean intelligence for the terrorist crime section," she said.
"..." Lee just stared at him.
"Still don't care huh, how about I call you "zero" "seeing Kyo says that Lee started to pay attention to her.
"Zero? what do you mean by zero?"
"Don't deny it again, the captain of the first special forces unit, the only one who can attack the drug dealer carriage camp by himself without getting hurt at all. And don't forget one case that is still kept secret by the top brass. "
"Enough. What do you want?" Lee glared at her.
"Okay.. the government is messing around with various things, and I want you to help us solve this."
"I don't care about that," Lee replied nonchalantly.
"What about REAPER?" Lee was surprised by what she said.
"What do you mean by REAPER? I haven't heard from them in a long time."
"I'll explain it in detail when you join and help us."
"Never mind, I'm not interested in that. I don't want to do it anymore. Just call the Inspector oh come back this room," Lee didn't care about what was happening anymore. Lee just wants to live peacefully with his family.
"It seems there is no way to invite you anymore, but do you know the truth of what happened in the past, and you know that the REAPER has made a move? Aren't you worried about your family?"
"What do you mean by the truth of the past and my family! Do you dare threaten me?!" Lee's hands clenched into fists and glared at her.
"Calm down. I have sent some of my members to guard around your house. They are guarding a safe distance and will not be suspected," Kyo explained.
"How can I calm down with just your words. And what do you mean by suddenly coming to ask for help live in peace," Lee snapped at her as he kicked the table in front of Kyo.
Seeing this, Kyo was silent. Lee tried to calm his emotions as he sat back down and took a deep breath.
"Remember the case that is still kept secret by the higher-ups? Where when you massacred a gang of gangs without mercy because they tortured and killed your members."
"What about that? Isn't that normal? I will not forgive them if they hurt my family or those closest to me," said Lee.
"I understand your feelings, but the leader of the gang you massacred that day. The man usually called Park is the son of one of the Highest Ranking in REAPER, Scythe."
"With the lack of information we have, and we are always one step behind them. We need your help. to catch or hinder them, people like you are what we need, captain zero."
Hearing this from Kyo, Lee began to think about the safety of his family and those closest to him. Lee had seen them act and how they solved a problem. Lee wasn't going to let that happen, but now Lee needed time.
"Give me a moment to think about this offer."
"Okay, as soon as I get out of here. I'll ask the officer to get you out. And one more thing, call me when you've made up your mind," Kyo called the guard and handed him a cell phone.
"I'm going back to the office. I'm waiting to hear from you, Zero," after Kyo exited the door. Lee fell silent, confused by what happened to him today. how Lee will be in the future, he also doesn't know what it will be like
"It's really tiring."
Inspector Oh returned and asked what they talked about not long after Kyo left. Lee just replied that it was not necessary. Not long after that, Lee was released and left with Inspector Oh. They also drove the car to the bridge where Lee used to think or contemplate.
After arriving and being pulled over, Lee also asked for a cigarette from Inspector Oh.
"Last we met, didn't you smoke?"
"Too many things happen in life. Sometimes I just want to enjoy the day in peace."
"What has that got to do with you smoking now!?" retorted Inspector Oh, annoyed
"You remind me of him."
"Well, since I'm his son, it's only natural that you remember him," Lee replied.
"Fruits don't fall from the tree. You two always annoy me!" retorted Inspector Oh again while blowing the smoke in his mouth.
We talked and joked about life for a long time. Lee also informed Inspector Oh of his future plans.
"Uncle?"
"why suddenly you call me uncle? are you short of money?" he said while looking for money in his pants pocket.
"No. it's not that, I'll be back.."
"What do you mean by going back? Don't tell me what you talked about with Miss Kyo earlier..."
"Yeah, I'll start again to find out what really happened."
"Are you sure? Have you thought about this?"
"I've been thinking about it for a long time."
"What about your mother and sister?"
asked Inspector oh in a low tone. Lee also explained what happened while talking to Kyo earlier.
"I won't stop you if that's the case, but what you need to pay attention to is the safety of your family members and those closest to you, from what we know about this organization, that they have no mercy on anyone," said the Inspector while reminding Lee.
"I already understand that, don't worry. Kyo gave me support, and he also gave me this," Lee immediately showed the cellphone that Kyo had given him.
"Well, if that's the case, let me take you home," said the Inspector.
They saw a motorbike speeding towards them from afar when they were about to enter the car.
"Dooor!!"
"Aakkkhhhhh," Inspector oh was shot, immediately Lee swiftly pulled Inspector to take cover behind the car.
"Damn it"
looks Inspector oh holding the right side of his stomach covered in blood.
It didn't stop there. The two men stopped and continued to shoot Lee and Inspector Oh from the top of his motorbike. They just took cover behind the Inspector's car.
"Take this," Inspector oh threw a gun at Lee. Lee quickly grabbed the weapon and retaliated against them.
"Finish"
Seeing the position of those who fired on Lee and the Inspector continuously. Lee waited for the opportunity. It was seen that one of them was reloading bullets, so Lee swiftly replied and aimed at his head.
"Doooor," Lee's shot hit the head of one of the attackers.
Seeing his friend who died instantly with just one shot, he immediately ran away using his motorbike and left his friend's corpse just like that.
"Damn, what a coward."
Lee immediately went towards the person who attacked them and found out who he really was. Lee took off his mask and checked for any clues or marks on them.
Seen on one of his wrists is a tattoo of "REAPER." Tattoo of the grim reaper holding the scythe of death.
Realizing their actions, Lee immediately took the cellphone that Kyo had given and called her while running to Inspector oh to see how he was.
"Hello, have you thought about .."
"You have to explain to me what happened today! Immediately go to the bridge near Namyoo restaurant," said Lee.
"What do you mean?"
"We're attacked by REAPER!!!!" Lee shouted at Kyo and hung up the call.
"Inspector...." Inspector oh was unconscious, immediately Lee gave him first aid and also didn't forget to always hold on to his wound.
"Damn, if this continues, things will get worse" without thinking, Lee immediately took the car keys from the Inspector's pocket and hurriedly put the Inspector into the car.
On the way, Lee contacted Kyo to inform her of our current location
"Hello"
"Hurry up to the hospital near the King Hotel. I'm on my way there. Inspector oh got shot."
Arriving at the hospital, the doctors immediately gave Inspector Oh help and headed to the room for operation. Not long after, Kyo and his guards came.
"You have to explain this to me? But before that, give me your cell phone," Lee glared at him sharply. The cellphone that Kyo gave was only devoted to making calls to himself.
Kyo gave his cellphone to me, and immediately I called the mother who was at home.
"Hello"
"Mom.. are you okay?"
"I'm fine, Lee. Why? Leti (Leticia's nickname) is joking with her friends at our house," explained the mother gently.
"Oh, thank God... I just wanted to let mom know that I will be late tonight. Please continue to have dinner without me."
"Okay, be careful and don't overdo it when you're with people you don't like. Don't get drunk."
"Okay, mom. Then I'll turn it off," Lee ended the call and handed it back to Kyo.
We went out of the hospital to escape the noise.
"You have to explain to me what happened today?" said Lee as he burned a cigarette.
"Actually, from the results of our monitoring and from the data we are investigating, we found SCYTHE is on the move and looking for the person who killed his child, which is you, Lee. I didn't expect that he would move this fast."
"You invited me to join but didn't consider this situation and didn't share any information with me."
"We're sorry," Kyo didn't know what to say to Lee anymore. Because she didn't expect that their plans would fall apart.
For a long time, we were silent. Lee finally told kyo that he was willing to join them for revenge. Lee must have good and solid connections to avenge what happened to him in the past and find out about this truth.
"Glad you finally joined us."
"I joined also have other purposes and goals. Also, whether there are conditions, it's all up to you whether you want to accept my terms or not,"
"I'm listening."
"Firstly, I don't want that if I'm operating or acting, there should be no interference from your side unless I request it. Secondly, I'm free to use existing resources, including weapons, government connections, and information. Thirdly I'm free to use my last military rights and relations. " Lee explained to Kyo.
"There is no guarantee that it will be accepted by the government, but because I have the power, I can give all of that to you. Congratulations on rejoining Lee," Kyo shook Lee's hand.
"Okay, tomorrow I will call you again. See you later".
Kyo and his bodyguards leave Lee.
"The time has come. I will not make mistakes and will find out what really happened in the past," it was confirmed that Lee would return soon. Lee had to call them again.
