lol listen, you clearly have very strong feelings abt this, and tbh I'm just not with you there. Def don’t care about this enough for me to start getting angry and insulting actual people. So I'll just let you do your thing (which seems to be being very passionate in the comment section) and I hope that someday down the line you start letting people have their own opinions without attacking them. Cheers!

He's not slow.....he was....set up ... And since he's been attacked and kidnapped from the get go and then had his stuff blown up he doesn't have a choice but to "trust" his partner. He has no ID, no money, no phone, no contacts, no weapons, no armory, and since it's a black ops/covert ops no one can know about it so he couldn't reach out to anyone.
It's not like he went there w a point of contact, and he doesn't have any actual ties to the place/have support from his agency or anyone and he's working in a foreign land.....w/ very little information. Even if he's fluent in the language he doesn't have ties to get him out of the difficulties and doesn't have as much knowledge as someone working in that area/land. He's also working alone....
but I'm already tired of how slow on the uptake the MC is. Blondie is clearly the psycho, like how dumb are you. In fact, the moment you were assigned on that mission in chapter 1, you sould have started suspecting that smth is wrong. HOW is a halfway competent spy just so trusting, wtf.
Also like someone else said: where did his pretty boy face go? *sob*
