Maxwell Sharp glanced at the twelve-story building and questioned.

"Unit 602"" reported Morgan without hesitation.

Pushing the car door open, Maxwell strode into the apartment.

His dark-colored trousers made his legs look even more slender, and his ash gray windbreaker created a mysterious aura surrounding him under the dim yellow lights.

A gust of early spring wind gently blew at the hems of his coat.

Ignoring his surroundings, Maxwell went upstairs.

Maxwell clucked his tongue in disgust.

The place she lived in was a single apartment consisting of one room and a living room.
