"You..." The female agent was enraged by Jin's decision and her perspective of him changed once more, thinking that this was not the 'good' person that she expected him to be. "Driven by greed. You are nothing but just a businessman."
"Yes, I am." Jin said as he sat back down on the floor and took his phone out to check on the news only to realise he did not have any signal. But with the help of the System, the internet automatically returned to normal for his phone without him sounding it out.
"Why? When you can do something about it and yet not do anything?"
"Why? Because we are humans. Do you expect me to be a saint?" Jin said as he continued to scroll and see the damage that had occurred from that unexpected side effect of Spartakus's emission of his aura. It seemed like he and his team had never understood the power of void energy as much as they wanted it to be. Perhaps, he should ask how the rest were feeling.
Yet, before he could even bring out concerns to his Foxes, the female agent felt the impulse to take her gun out to shoot this arrogant son of a betch but instead, went towards him and pulled at the collar of his shirt.
"People are injured and perhaps dying as we speak! If you are able to create that kind of dimensional instance, everyone will be able to aid those who were injured! And they are able to bring them to the checkpoints."
"And?"
"And we can save them especially those who are dying or need medical attention immediately!" the female agent said and Jin continued to remain stoic at her cause. The foxes were merely enjoying the show and not interfering with the situation with the female agent.
"So, first you point the guns at us. We forgive. Because we too would be wary of the situation when given the opportunity to be in your shoes. A group of humans suddenly teleported to a location that had activities tied to possible terrorist attacks. The suspicions can run high and I do not blame you." Jin did not stop talking.
"Then when we returned, I understood once more that because of the need to pacify the group from attacking us, we had knocked them unconscious. And your country's intelligence brings backup to ascertain the truth, that we acknowledge and were cooperative."
"But even knowing the truth, you all proceed with a tinge of salt which I could completely relate to as it is part of your job scope to doubt us. You all accommodated us and gave us a place to stay to hide and while we have no right to complain, we just followed your decision. But you know pissed me and perhaps everyone in this team off? Your leaders' attitude."
"That defence minister is known for his temper..." The female agent could not fault him. "But it was you in the first place that had proposed such a ridiculous price?"
Last I remember upon fighting with him, he did sound out that his brothers would come to avenge him. Good luck with that. If you cannot handle an aftermath like this, try having them descending to the world." Jin lied so hard on that last part but since Diego was not in the field with them, anything lie that he made up could be plausible.
But what both parties did not expect was the agent interfering.
"You bloody fucking wankers! Don't give me shit that you cannot afford another 2 million to this guy? You all know that we have all the intelligence on all of you that is on call and I recognise those voices very well because that is my job. One big leak from the national intelligence to the media is more than enough to bring all of you down!"
"Young lady, are you threatening us? Do you want to be arrested for treason?"
"Then I shall take that any day than to see you all squabbling for a pitiful amount of cash for a highly tangible solution right in front of us. This businessman had made me remember that I am sworn to protect and serve my country. And if I need to do bad things to save my countrymen, then I shall do it with my head held high!"
"Hooo." The Foxes and Jin were actually impressed that there was someone willing to stand up in this kind of situation.
"As much as I hate this idiot for eating into our coffers at such an exorbitant rate, he is our current solution. If he cannot do the shit he had been assigned to do, I will fucking hunt him down and make sure that regardless of the number of lives I need to reincarnate to bring him down with me!" the female agent said and Jin was actually quite impressed.
"Wow, the more you talk like this, the more I feel like hiring you," Jin said and the rest also felt the same as there were not many who were willing to risk so much of their lives for the better good of the society. They thought such a chivalrous spirit would have died a long time ago.
"Then you better make sure you prepare a salary that is befitting of my actions." The female agent finally smiled at him.
"Heh, how about a one time payment of 12 million euros as an opening offer?" Jin joked.
"Send me a proper contract, till then I am contracted and pledged to serve the nation." The agent said that they knew that the other side's mike was still open. Whether they wanted to charge her for treason or collusion and whatever things that could increase her potential sentence, it was for the next working day as someone with a deep voice entered the conversation.
"15 million euros. The other three million euros is from my personal pocket." While Jin did not know the voice, the rest on the other side murmured the word Prime Minister.
