Chapter 1 - PROLOGUE:

Target: CEO Moshi Corporation - Shen Moshi

Agent: Lina Dai

Undercover identity: Lina Mito

Mission: Investigate Moshi Corporations underground dealings with the Lim clan.

Possible threat: Lim clan may be smuggling weapons through Moshi Corp. to Country A leading to instability in the balance of power in the East. Country A may start a war with Country J with access to Lim clan's arms dealings.

'Moshi Corporation.....this should be interesting. Getting involved with Shen Moshi can't be simple, I'm going to have to play this clever.' Lina thought to herself as she scanned the profile.

Shen Moshi seemed to have fought intensely to get to the top. Even though Moshi Corp. was one of the leading businesses in country J, the family was messy. The youngest of three ruthless brothers, Shen Moshi struggled for control at a very young age, having now successfully secured his role as CEO.

"Tachi, I'm going to have to go with sweet, innocent and helpless. I need to provoke his sense of chivalry to protect a weak woman. For a man that ruthless and aggressive, that will be our approach. It will take time, but I'm giving myself three months before I'll have him eating out of my hand." Lina declared to her sneering handler sitting with his legs on the coffee table in front of her. "He's going to be as easy as the others."

"So you're going to go all moe, covered in bunny rabbits and fluff to this devil? He's murdered family, you know?" Tachi scoffed back at her.

"I know the type, Tachi. They think they're all that, at the top of the food pyramid, the almighty. It's men like him, who fall for women who worship them for their strength - wide-eyed and eager to please. I just need to catch his eye. And when has that ever been an issue for me, hmm?" Lina looked at her partner and raised one perfectly shaped eyebrow.

"I'm going to enjoy you acting cute and helpless" Tachi let out a humourless laugh "It's the joke of the century."

"Yes, well, I'm going to need a makeover." Lina rolled her eyes as she left the meeting room at the agency.

An agency that only a select, elite percentage of the world's population knew about.

"Call me once you reach work." Lina smiled, as she hung up the phone. Her heart was racing, as she surveyed the busy street ahead of her. She had to make sure no one knew -- that no one was following her. As she was looking around, she received a text notification on a burner phone.

*"Agent Dai - you have not checked in with us in two weeks now. If you fail to respond within the next 24 hours, you will face the consequences."*

She looked down at the burner, took a deep breath, dropped the phone and crushed it under her heel.

A shadow watched her from above, perched at an open window in the high rise building opposite. A voice in his ear whispered a command.

"You have the green light on Agent Dai's termination. Do it now"

As Lina set foot on the street to cross, her world went black as she felt a searing, hot pain in her chest, and then she was catapulted across by a massive force ramming into the side of her body.

It was hard to tell what hit her first, the truck or the bullet.

Her broken phone, she had just hung up the call on, lay beside her. The shattered screen lit up as she received a text.

*"Be safe, my love."*
