Chapter 97 - Protectiveness vs. Possessiveness

Jacob arrived at the Twelve Army Headquarters where he met with James and Capricorn.

At his office, they were greeted by four equally masculine men all around six foot in height wearing rugged casual attire.

The four of them stand up simultaneously and raise their arms in salute towards Jacob, James, and Capricorn.

James being Jacob's right hand had undergone training under the Twelve Army.

Jacob looked at each of the agents and frowned internally and looked at Capricorn. He wonders, does Capricorn have a requirement that his team has to be good looking?

Not that he doubts himself when it comes to physical attributes he could definitely match and even surpass these men in front of him. But this is the man that is supposed to protect his wife. As much as possible he doesn't want any men to surrounds his wife.

However, the need to protect his wife outweigh his possessiveness.

He takes a seat in his armchair and as Capricorn started to introduce his team Jacob is scanning their personal profiles.

"This is Daniel Li, the team's strategist, Stefan Mayer, he's a gun expert and a sniper, Felix Martinez, he's the best spy that I got and Arthur Brown, he's an expert in hand-to-hand combat." Capricorn proudly introduces his team.

Capricorn although in his late 40's still managed to maintain his muscular built. He has an oblong face with the slightly smaller chin, although there was stubble on his jaw and chin, his cleft chin is highly noticeable.

"Good! I would like to have a word with them." Jacob said looking at James and Capricorn.

James and Capricorn who seemed to understand the meaning behind his words nod at each other then walked out of the office.

"You probably have an idea as to what this mission is. Although this mission was originally from my father, I will personally take charge and supervise this mission. Meaning you will be reporting directly to me and getting orders from me." Jacob said in a cold tone looking at the eyes of four men.

The men returned his gaze without a blink showing how professional they are.

"This is a highly confidential mission. You will be protecting a VVIP, which is my wife. And there are some things that I want you to remember. One, no one should know about your mission nor the identity of my wife. Two, my wife didn't know about this..." now Jacob noticed the brows of the men in front of him snapped together as expected. "Meaning, you will be protecting her from a distance. She shouldn't know about this, so don't do anything that will give her an idea. She is very observant to her surroundings."

"Three, I want you to report to me who she meets and talks to as well as her locations. And..." Jacob paused for a moment then looked at the door. "I have a special task especially to you Felix."

Seeing Felix's eyes twinkled Jacob continued "My wife is quite mysterious. I know there is something that she is not telling me, and I want to know what that is. Whatever you found out, report it directly to me. Capricorn or my father shouldn't know about this." after saying this, his jaw set.

"This is my forte boss, I won't disappoint you." finally one of them speak up. Felix seemed to be enthusiastic about this extra mission.

"Good! Any questions?"
