The tension in the air was palpable as the NIS agent stared down Yohan, Camellia, and Leo. The revelation of the assassination plot had shaken them all, but Yohan remained steadfast in his refusal to simply go into hiding.
"I understand your concerns, Mr. Choi," the agent said, his voice measured. "But you have to understand the gravity of the situation. These assassins are highly trained, and they won't hesitate to eliminate anyone who gets in their way."
Yohan's grip on the folder tightened, his knuckles turning white. "I'm not going to live in fear. If there's a real threat against my life, then I want to know what you're doing to stop it."
The agent's expression darkened. "I've already told you, that information is classified. Our priority right now is your safety."
Camellia stepped forward, her eyes narrowed. "That's not good enough. If you want us to trust you, then you need to be transparent about what's going on."
The agent let out a frustrated sigh. "Look, I understand your frustration, but you have to understand that this is a delicate situation. We can't just go around sharing sensitive information willy-nilly."
Leo crossed his arms over his chest, his gaze unwavering. "Then how about this – you tell us what you can, and we'll do our best to help. We're not just going to sit back and let you handle this on your own."
The agent's brow furrowed as he considered the offer. "I... I suppose that could work. But I need your word that you won't breathe a word of this to anyone else."
Yohan nodded, his expression resolute. "You have our word."
The agent glanced around nervously, as if he was worried about being overheard. "Alright, then. Here's what we know so far..."
He launched into a detailed explanation of the assassination plot, revealing that the suspected assassins were highly trained operatives with ties to a shadowy organization known as the Black Lotus. The group was known for its ruthless efficiency and its ability to operate in the shadows, making them a formidable threat.
"We've been tracking the Black Lotus for years, but they've always managed to stay one step ahead of us," the agent said, his frustration evident. "This latest plot is just the latest in a long line of attacks they've carried out."
Yohan's brow furrowed as he listened to the agent's explanation. "So what are you doing to stop them?"
The agent's expression darkened. "We've been working around the clock to try and neutralize the threat, but it's been an uphill battle. These people are highly skilled and incredibly elusive."
Camellia's eyes narrowed. "And what about the people behind the plot? Have you identified them?"
The agent hesitated, his gaze shifting nervously. "We... we have some leads, but nothing concrete yet. The Black Lotus is a highly compartmentalized organization, and they're very good at covering their tracks."
Leo's expression hardened. "So you're telling us that you have no idea who's behind this plot to kill Yohan?"
The agent's jaw tightened. "I didn't say that. We have some suspects, but we're still working to confirm their involvement."
Yohan leaned forward, his eyes narrowed. "And what about the people who are actually carrying out the assassination? Have you been able to track them down?"
The agent's expression darkened. "We've identified a few of the suspected assassins, but they've managed to evade us so far. We're doing everything we can to locate them and neutralize the threat."
Camellia shook her head, her expression frustrated. "That's not good enough. If there's a real threat against Yohan's life, then we need to know what you're doing to stop it."
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.
"Look, I know this is frustrating, but you have to understand that we're working with limited information and resources. These people are highly skilled and incredibly elusive, and we're doing our best to stay one step ahead of them."
Yohan's grip on the folder tightened, his expression resolute. "That's not good enough. If you can
