BXBX NOVEL Chapter 114: Anna 1
They arrived at Hondae’s Cocoa Club, but it hadn’t opened yet. Jaeyoung and Junhyuk knocked on the door. They knocked for a while, and when the door finally opened, a large man appeared across the threshold.
"We are not open yet."
Jaeyoung showed him his ID and asked, "Is the owner here?"
"He is not here right now."
Jaeyoung stepped forward and said, "We are looking for a murder suspect. Your cooperation is appreciated."
He heard it concerned a murder case and shivered.
"Are you looking for a witness?"
Jaeyoung nodded, and the man went inside and came back out.
"Follow me."
The man guided them to an office. They were cleaning up the club, getting it ready to open. Junhyuk saw many CCTV cameras as he walked to the office. If they were lucky, they would have a good shot of her face.
They were introduced to the owner of the club, a young man smoking a cigarette. As they entered, he got up from his seat.
"Have a seat."
He was young for an owner, but Jaeyoung and Junhyuk took their seats, and the owner said calmly, "First, show me your IDs."
Jaeyoung showed him his ID, and the owner shook his head.
"CIA... Did you bring a warrant?"
Jaeyoung answered him, "You might have to close the place if we make an official visit."
"Is that a threat?"
"I don’t joke."
The owner looked at Junhyuk and shook his head.
"And aren’t you a model?"
"That’s just part-time work."
The owner shrugged.
"I don’t want to get too involved." Junhyuk nodded, and the owner continued evenly, "OK. How can I help you?"
Jaeyoung told him why they were there.
"Can we check last night’s CCTVs recordings?"
"Are you looking for your suspect in the videos?"
Jaeyoung nodded, and the owner got up from his seat, brought out a laptop and said, "Do it."
They fast-forwarded the video looking for the person. Under the club’s heavy lighting, they soon found a blonde woman, but she was dancing and didn’t show her face to the CCTV cameras.
"She knew the location of all of the cameras here," Jaeyoung said coolly.
There were a total of seven cameras, and she didn’t show her face once.
"Perhaps you know this woman?" Jaeyoung asked the owner.
The owner looked at the woman Jaeyoung was pointing at and shook his head.
"I don’t know that person."
He seemed to be telling the truth, and Jaeyoung continued indifferently, "I need your waiters and DJs to gather here. We have to make a reenactment."
The owner called the people on their phones.
"They’ll be here."
Jaeyoung lifted the laptop and said, "I need this to get her face."
"Go ahead, but be careful with it."
Jaeyoung headed out to the club’s stage area. There were ten waiters and a DJ there. The owner told them calmly, "Your cooperation is appreciated. If you know something, you should tell these gentlemen. If you do not, you should reconsider working here."
Everyone nodded, and Jaeyoung showed them the screen.
"Does anyone know this blond woman?"
The waiters looked and shook their heads.
"Maybe it was her first time here?"
Then, the DJ said, "I don’t know her name, but she comes in here with a different person each time."
"You’ve seen her before?"
"She comes onto the stage from time to time."
The DJ pointed at the ceiling.
"She was under the lights, so I can’t tell if it’s the person I’m thinking with different clothes, but I have a feeling it’s her because of the way she dances."
"Do you know her?"
DJ shrugged.
"I tried to seduce her a few times, but she usually disappears before my show is over."
"How often does she come here?"
"Maybe once a month. It’s hard to see her frequently."
Jaeyoung thought about it for a second and asked, "Can you tell me more about her appearance?"
"She is white with really pale skin. She has long eyelashes, and her blue eyes are beautiful. I can’t tell you about her hairstyle because it changes every time she comes in. I think she wears a wig," the DJ said calmly.
"What about her eyes and lips?"
"I’m not sure. She wears makeup, and her features feel different every time."
Jaeyoung nodded.
"Thank you for your cooperation," he said and gave him his business card. "If she ever shows up again, call me."
"I will."
He looked at Junhyuk.
"We’ll do a reenactment."
"Don’t we need more information?"
"It won’t be accurate."
Then, the DJ spoke up again.
"I followed her once. She was riding a Harley."
"A Harley?"
"A Harley Davidson FXSBSE CVO Breakout."
"You know a lot about motorcycles."
The DJ smiled.
"It was the model I wanted, so I remember it."
Jaeyoung nodded. She rode two motorcycle and both were very expensive. It would be possible to narrow the search.
"Thank you for the information."
Jaeyoung walked out with Junhyuk and said, "We’ll find her soon."
"Yes."
Junhyuk wanted to prepare himself in case he met her. He either had to fight her without using his powers or he’d knock Jaeyoung out first.

Anna’s short hair was wet as she opened her laptop. A bald man with a Hakenkreuz tattoo on his chest appeared on the screen.
"Thank you," he said.
"Don’t thank me. You didn’t give me much time for this job!"
"I’m sorry. I had no choice. I paid you more than usual."
"Don’t ask me to do things like this again."
"I understand."
The man was done talking and disappeared from the screen. Anna dried her hair with a blowdryer and looked in the mirror, focusing on her eyes.
"It’s fun."
The first time she went to the Dimensional Battlefield, she didn’t think she could be powerful, but she had activated her power and survived. She was powerful.
It’s her world, she could kill anyone and she wouldn’t leave any evidence behind.
She smiled and heard a knock on the door.
"Come in."
A middle-aged Caucasian man walked in. He took the blow dryer away from her and said, "My daughter, do you have any prior engagements today?"
"I’ve already been to school, but I’m going back later, so I don’t have anything to do right now."
"You should make some friends."
Anna smiled.
"Don’t worry. I have many friends."
"I’m sorry you had to follow me here to South Korea."
Anna grabbed his hand.
"I’m fine. I like South Korea, and I have many friends."
The middle-aged man smiled and kissed her forehead.
"Have fun at the school."
"Yes, dad."
"Are you taking your motorcycle?"
"Yes."
"Be careful."
Anna smiled brightly, and the middle-aged man went out. She walked into the dressing humming.
"What should I ride today?" she murmured.
There were fifteen motorcycle keys on top of the drawer.
---
Jaeyoung’s ability was surprising. Before the end of the day, he brought in three names and showed them to Iltae.
"We narrowed it to three names, but they are all males."
Iltae looked at the list.
"But you only have one Caucasian."
"Yes, but he will be hard to investigate."
"Right, he is a foreign diplomat..."
Junhyuk realized something.
"But the person we are looking for is a woman."
Jaeyoung took out a tablet and said, "Stephen has a daughter. Her name is Anna, and she is an exchange student at South Korea University."
Junhyuk stared at Jaeyoung.
"She is a strong suspect."
"What are you going to do?"
"Stephen can’t be contacted since he is a diplomat, but his daughter is different."
"Where are you going to meet her?"
"She went to school earlier today, but she still has classes to attend later, so we could meet her today."
"Intentionally meeting her at a place with a lot of people around?"
"Something like that. We might find ourselves in danger when we talk to her."
Both of them would be in danger, and Iltae asked, "Are you taking the snipers with you?"
"Yes, I think I should."
Junhyuk was surprised by their conversation.
"You are taking snipers?"
What were they doing in the middle of South Korea?
Iltae answered him quietly, "We’ll just restrain her. We can’t kill her, and she is the relative of a diplomat."
Junhyuk realized what W.A.N.C.S. was capable of. They were talking about taking snipers to the middle of South Korea. They might even kill Anna.
Iltae shrugged.
"I’ll pay you for tonight’s work. Go with him."
"OK."
He would be OK. Since they were taking snipers, he wouldn’t have to step forward to deal with Anna. Junhyuk and Jaeyoung got in the Lamborghini and headed to South Korea University. The support teams were following behind them in two cars.
Jaeyoung hung up the phone and told Junhyuk, "She is attending a lecture."
"How do you know?"
"We are tracking her cell phone."
The W.A.N.C.S. had many resources. The Rockefeller family was behind them in that regard. Who had actually ordered the killings against the company’s wishes? Junhyuk wanted to know. He didn’t want to be swept by any of the bigger events surrounding him.
They got to South Korea University and parked near the building where Anna was attending the lecture. Everyone got out of their cars.
Jaeyoung positioned the support team here and there. They knew they were coming to a school, so they carried their firearms in bags. Jaeyoung walked over.
"There is a resting area in front of the building. We will talk to her there."
"Are you arresting her?"
"We’ll just meet her today. Just check her out."
Junhyuk was nervous. It wasn’t easy to read someone without looking into her eyes.
"Are you going to look into her eyes?"
"I will. If something happens to me, the snipers will deal with her."
If not, Junhyuk would have to step in.
Jaeyoung and Junhyuk went into the building. A few people recognized Junhyuk and came over to him, but they went away after meeting Jaeyoung. They went to a lecture hall and waited for a long time until people started coming out. A woman was talking to her friends while walking out. She had pale skin and long lashes. She was quite beautiful.
She saw Jaeyoung and Junhyuk and turned her head. She tried to look into Junhyuk’s eyes, and he looked at her chin. He thought it was best to avoid her eyes.
"Anna, can we talk for a minute?"
"Where do you come from?"
Jaeyoung showed her his CIA ID. She saw his it and shook her head. Then, she lifted her head and smiled brightly.
"Right, where do you want to talk?"
"There is an open area in front of the building."
Jaeyoung took her out to the set up spot, and Junhyuk followed them. Anna was walking in front of him, and he prepared for the worst.
The place was crawling with snipers, and he couldn’t use his powers to deal with her, but it should go smoothly. They were in a small resting area. Anna took a seat under a shadow, putting herself out of the snipers’ range.
She didn’t look like an ordinary college student, and they were curious about her. She looked at Jaeyoung and Junhyuk and smiled.
"What do you want to talk about?"
Anna’s blue eyes sparkled.
