Chapter 877
Penelope felt as if she had found her father’s love as Jason looked at her lovingly.
Her face reddened, and she tightened her fists. “I-I’m a secret service agent, after all. I have superiors, and it’d be bad for our organization if I were to announce my identity.”
Penelope felt as if she was in a trance. The longer the people looked at her in envy, the more she felt that she really was Zero and that she was a secret service agent and Flying Fish’s colleague.
Flying Fish remained standing by the doorway, seemingly not intending to step into the room.
He stared at the pretentious woman in disbelief. If that was Zero’s true nature, he would be more than willing to leave Mysterious yet Majestic.
She’s so… different from how she usually is. Wait, but Boss should be in the room as well. Boss was the one who sent the location to us all, but… it’s been a while since I came, yet Boss hasn’t come over to welcome me. Obviously, that means I went to the wrong freaking room and bumped into an idiotic imposter. Does this imposter think that everyone’s as dumb as her?
Penelope was still looking at Flying Fish, and she flashed him a sweet smile. “Hello, Mr. Flying Fish. Let’s formally introduce ourselves to each other. I’m Penelope Berry, who’s also your colleague, Zero.”
She intentionally spoke in a high-pitched voice, putting Flying Fish off with her dramatic demeanor.
She made herself seem as though she was truly the top secret service agent Zero with the way she was taking control of the conversation.
Flying Fish was stunned by Penelope’s shamelessness.
“Come, Flying Fish. Please take a seat,” Penelope invited him into the room.
Mysterious yet Majestic… I never thought I’d get to be related to an organization as impressive as this one day.
Flying Fish interrupted her ego-stroking session and said, “If you’re Zero, please take out your phone. If you can log into Mysterious yet Majestic’s software, then we’re indeed coworkers. I’ve never seen you, and neither have you seen me. So… my apologies, Ms. Berry. I will need you to verify your identity.”
Penelope nearly choked on her saliva.
What? I need to verify my identity? I need to log into their software? What in the world are those things? I don’t have their organization’s software!
The gears in her mind turned, and she quickly covered up the panic in her eyes by saying, “My phone ran out of battery. Please come in first.”
“Then tell me the core values of Mysterious yet Majestic,” Flying Fish replied, watching Penelope struggle to keep up with the act with a half-smile.
Her acting was so lousy that it was an eye-opening experience for him.
Right as he said those words, the private room went silent.
Everyone had perked up their ears, eager to hear what Mysterious yet Majestic’s core values were.
Penelope paled. “I… I had it seared in my mind, but I can’t recall what it is now…”
“Mysterious yet Majestic is loyal to justice. We fight for justice. We help the weak, and we destroy the evil. It’s that simple, but you forgot what they were?” Flying Fish asked. “Everyone in the organization has the core values etched in their minds. Memorizing them is the first task for everyone who joins the organization.”
Upon listening to Flying Fish’s words, everyone turned to look at Penelope in shock.
Silence hung in the air for some time.
Mary’s face was colorless by then.
Jason furrowed his brows as he turned to glance at Penelope in confusion.
So that means Penelope’s an imposter.
Penelope, who had been enjoying the people’s envious gazes a moment ago, could only freeze in her spot as colors drained out of her.
Why is Flying Fish still doubting my identity?
Flying Fish continued, “Do you have any evidence to back up your claims of being Zero? We haven’t seen Zero before, but I know Zero’s a teenage boy. Zero sounds like a teenage boy as well, but you’re clearly a girl.”
