Story
Takano Kazuhiko is an agent for AN News, an intelligence organisation that uses a small news distribution service as its front. Together with a new agent Taoka Ryoichi, he infiltrates the construction site where the world city exposition is scheduled to take place three years later. There are various plots brewing over the selection of the site. They are playing a role in this intelligence warfare at the request of political fixer Chusonji Nobutaka and his secretary Nagashima Toru. However, the location is blown up right before their very eyes by someone. Takano and Taoka begin investigating the mastermind on the instructions of their boss Kazama Takeshi. With the help of a fellow agent Yamashita Ryuji who smuggled himself into Hong Kong, they discover that a powerful Chinese company attempting to interfere with Chusonji’s agenda, was behind the explosion and the existence of a former agent of AN News who was hired there. Meanwhile, Ochiai Kaori, a staff of a non-profit organisation, suspects political intrigue behind the incident and tries to get close. Even Kirino Kenjiro, the son of the former prime minister and a second-generation lawmaker who seems to have no connection to the matter, starts getting active behind the scenes. It soon becomes apparent that there are far greater interests that go beyond holding the exposition … …
