Chapter 16: Interrogation And Revelation

Yohan stood his ground, his gaze unwavering as he stared down the NIS agent. "I'm not going anywhere with you. If you have something to say, you can say it right here."

The agent's expression hardened, his eyes narrowing. "This is a matter of national security, Mr. Choi. I suggest you come with me quietly, or we'll have to do this the hard way."

Camellia and Leo moved to stand beside Yohan, their own expressions defiant. "He's not going anywhere with you," Camellia said, her voice firm. "If you have something to say, you can say it to all of us."

The agent's gaze shifted between the three of them, his jaw tightening. "Very well, then. I suppose we can have this conversation right here."

He reached into his jacket and pulled out a folder, handing it to Yohan. "These are the details of the threat against you. As you can see, it's a very real and very serious situation."

Yohan took the folder, his hands trembling slightly as he flipped through the pages. His eyes widened as he saw the detailed information about the assassination plot, including the names and profiles of the suspected assassins.

"How... how did you get this information?" he asked, his voice barely above a whisper.

"That's classified," the agent replied, his expression unreadable. "What's important is that we take this threat seriously and take the necessary steps to protect you."

Camellia and Leo leaned in to get a better look at the folder, their own expressions grim.

"So what are you proposing?" Leo asked, his voice tense.

The agent turned to him, his gaze steady. "We need to move Yohan to a secure location, where he can be protected around the clock. It's the only way to ensure his safety."

Yohan's grip on the folder tightened, his knuckles turning white. "And what about the people behind this plot? Are you going to do anything about them?"

The agent's expression darkened. "That's also classified information. Our priority right now is your safety."

Camellia stepped forward, her eyes narrowed. "That's not good enough. If there's a real threat against Yohan's life, we need to know what you're doing to stop it."

The agent's jaw tightened, and he glanced around nervously, as if he was worried about being overheard. "Look, I can't discuss the details of the investigation. But I can assure you that we're doing everything in our power to neutralize the threat."

Yohan shook his head, his expression resolute. "I'm not going anywhere with you. If you want to protect me, then you need to take down the people behind this plot. I'm not going to hide away in some safe house while they're still out there."

The agent's eyes widened, and he took a step forward, his voice lowering to a harsh whisper. "You don't understand the gravity of the situation, Mr. Choi. This is a matter of national security, and you're putting yourself and everyone around you in grave danger by refusing to cooperate."

Camellia and Leo moved to stand in front of Yohan, their expressions defiant. "We understand the risks, but we're not going to let you just sweep this under the rug," Camellia said, her voice firm.

The agent's gaze shifted between the three of them, his expression a mix of frustration and concern. "I'm warning you, this is a dangerous game you're playing. If you don't cooperate, we can't guarantee your safety."

Yohan stepped forward, his own expression hardening. "Then I guess we'll have to take our chances. I'm not going to live in fear anymore, and I'm not going to let you or anyone else control my life."

The agent's jaw tightened, and for a moment, it looked like he was going to lash out. But then, his expression softened, and he let out a heavy sigh.

"I understand your concerns, Mr. Choi. But I hope you realize that we're not the enemy here. We're trying to protect you, even if it means taking some drastic measures."

Yohan nodded, his expression still wary. "I appreciate that, but I need to know that you're doing everything you can to stop the people behind this plot. I can't just sit...
