"A man of high profile, at the least! I understand now. But don't worry Silla, I can talk to my stupid daddy." Jo-Jo said, looking at her with a smile.

Silla was like a family to her, a person she spent most of her life with, and as a toddler, Silla was like a nanny to her; as she grew up, Silla became a motherly figure to her, and now she is like the ideal older sister to the little Jo-Jo. This was the first time she saw something she could help with. So, she was overjoyed to help her.

"Eh, it's not as bad as you think. You don't need to do that for me. Jo-Jo, I can solve the matter myself." Silla said in response to her.

"No, I insist. This may bring you to an awkward position. But believe me, you don't want to meet my daddy right now with this news." Jo-Jo stated firmly, and she further continued, sighing like an old dame while playing with the AI pod in her hand. "Hah! Currently, as my mom's illness is deteriorating in her hands, he has a lot in his chest to deal with. So, I'll do it even if you say otherwise. Also, don't treat me like a child anymore. Though I am still young, no offense meant, but I have more IQ than any other human right now."

"No, Jo-Jo, absolutely not. Taking advantage of our relationship is not my favorite thing to do. Don't worry. I can handle it on my own. This is not the first time, anyway." Silla was not a person to back down easily.

p "Hee-hee-hee, too late. I have already told everything to my daddy." The little blonde girl grinned at her cutely, and another 3D screen appeared above in the air from her AI pod. "And see this. Already done. You can thank me later."

Silla leaped to her feet and approached her. Then she went on to read the details of the text between Jo-Jo and her father, who was also her boss. After that, she looked at Jo-Jo and wondered, "My girl has really grown into something...."

Suddenly, a glitch appeared on the screen and a handsome man appeared out of it. If someone observed carefully with the color of his fingernails, then they would be sure to know that this man was of Ogarian origin. "Silla!" he called.

"Good evening, boss!" Silla greeted politely, bowing toward the man on the screen.

"You can stop now. This little girl is becoming the little version of you gradually, day by day. Very stubborn as a bull. In fact, this little girl even emotionally blackmailed me to see her mother immediately if I didn't comply with her request or she would go on hunger strike." The boss gave his words, speaking friendly to her. "Alright, anyway, you have never doubted me after all these years of service, so I'm giving you full amenity in this mission. Do whatever you need to do at your best."historical

"Thank you, boss. I'll never disappoint you," Silla responded politely. In her eyes, there was nothing but respect for her boss and she had full subservience to only this man and also admired him as a man in her heart.

"One more important thing. I'm also putting Jo-Jo as your apprentice in this mission of yours. Guide her well. In light of the complexity of this mission, it is truly a feat for Jo-Jo to begin a field mission for the first time." The boss looked at his daughter and said, "Jo-Jo, follow every order of Silla. And don't worry about your mother, she will be healthy soon. Alright, I'm busy right now. See you all soon." Then the screen returned, showing the previous details of Bobby on it.

"Jo-Jo, you don't really need to do that. Hmm...alright then, you need to listen to my every word in the field. Do you understand me?" Silla asked.

"I understand." The little girl replied, beaming in delight.

Beep! Beep!....

"Miss Sila, the Bronze level B24 customer is on the line." The AI spoke in a soft female voice.

"Alright, connect to it." Silla gave her affirmation. Then she spoke in her professional courtesy. "Hello, it's Hot-dog anytime service. I would like to know your order and where it will be delivered, please."

"My ID is B24 of the Bronze level. And my password: Dj245@g95hh9001." A mechanical voice came out from AI. And soon, a green light flashed out from the AI pod.

"Welcome B24. What can I do for you?" Sila asked while touching the screen, taking out all the details on the current customer and she frowned.

"Why is Bobby Bradford still breathing the air of the Aphrodite city? Is it all your franchise could do? Even fail to kill a mere Defect until now. I'm very disappointed with my contract this time." The mechanical voice began to berate harshly at her.

"Oh, then I'm sorry to disappoint you. We need to cancel this contract. Don't worry, the donation will be refunded right now." Silla said.

"What do you mean? You are now canceling the contract?... You can't do that to me. I have already paid in full. Just finish the job you have already accepted. And I don't need your goddamn money to return." The mechanical voice yelled at her.

Silla began to explain in sophistry. "Customer B24, you have breached article No.89ff of the nature of our contract by giving us inadequate data on your target. What you give us is only his name and his address? And after some research on the target, we can't get any data on the target within our main framework AI of our company. So this leaves to the conclusion that the target is not at the Bronze level, which is above your target list. So, the contract is over. Please, contact our franchise if you have any target within the bronze level list... Anything else you want to add?"

"Fuck you, cunt!... Give back my money right now." The mechanic voice cursed in the line.

Little Jo-Jo could not bear another word from the line, as she also heard everything all this time. "You bast..." she shouted, but Silla was prepared as she sealed her mouth with her hand quickly. Then Silla said in her usual calm tone. "Your money is wiring back to you. Please check."

"Hmm, such a shitty organization. I'll never contact your franchise for such a job ever again...But don't worry, I'll contact you again when I'm desperate enough to fuck you. Hmm, you have such a pleasant voice. I hope you are not that bad in look too." the mechanical voice spoke licentiously.

After several minutes, the mechanical voice further spoke again. "Bitch, don't you hear me? Are you giving service for such a thing, too? Then, name your price. I'm ready to bang you very hard that you will never forget me."

"B24, I'll take that as the end of our conversation. Alright, have a nice day!" Silla said and finally cut the line and also released the little girl.

Little Jo-Jo scribbled something in her AI pod. But Silla quickly snatched it away from her.

"Silla, give it back to me. I'll use everything in my power to kill that bastard. I'll ask my daddy to kill him." Little Jo-Jo screamed angrily.

Silla embraced her quickly and said while tapping on her back and calming her down. "Jo-Jo, don't be stupid. You can't do that to our customers. And also because of my work here, I am used to scoundrels' words already. You don't need to take it to your heart, okay?"

"No, I can't accept this at all. Unless I kill that bastard, I..." Little Jo-Jo was not easily swayed by her words but halted abruptly before she finished her words as Silla whispered something in her ear.

After hearing her words, little Jo-Jo quickly calmed down, and her eyes scintillated exhilaration. "Okay, I agree then. Hee-hee-hee, sister Silla, you are so witty. Now, I can't wait to see how this will turn out."

"Little Girl, have you seen me making any mistake when taking something big like this? Though you have a higher IQ than me, when it comes to playing strategy, you are like a toddler taking baby steps. Just opened your eyes wide and see how I play this out. Jo-Jo, sometimes we need to give a bigger bait to draw out the bigger fish."

"So all this time, instead of picking up sticks, you've been picking up carrots to bring me to the field. Hahaha,... It should be me thanking you instead. Thank you, Silla." the little girl jumped up, feeling overwhelmed with her. "So what now?"

Actually, Silla had already done a thorough check-up on Bobby's profile long ago. But she feigned to ignore some details and accepted the contract with no objections. Her main goal was to take the little girl out of the building as an excuse in the name of fieldwork. It had been a pain to her heart all this time when Jo-Jo was so curious about the outside world, but her father insisted on confining the girl inside the building. Everything went exactly like she planned until now; from the moment of putting the hit on Bobby's head until the moment of her boss giving her permission to take the little girl outside.

"Now, we can go out to look for our target. Little Girl, do you want to see something really amazing?" Silla asked.

"Yep," Little Jo-Jo praised her, giving her a thumbs up. "by the way Silla, your acting skill is superb. It's great you managed to fool and play my dad in your hands. Good job. You need to teach me that, too."

"Eh, little girl, do you think I'm fooling your father?" Silla explained. "Then you are truly mistaken. From what I can think, it's clear that he has already known about my intention from the get-go. But, still, your threat works from your path, which is why he keeps his eyes close in this matter."

"I don't understand." the little girl asked, pondering deeply.

Silla began to explain patiently. "It's very simple. He agrees to it easily and also he's the one who suggested bringing you out in the field. Alright, I'll keep this short. Clearly, your father was also feeling guilty over himself for keeping you confining here in this place all this time. As a result, he agreed to it, tacitly accepting my plans. But it's the necessary thing to do considering our line of work. Jo-Jo, you are one of the weaknesses of your father and your father has some powerful enemies. So, do you understand now? "

Little Jo-Jo nodded her head, both in awe of Silla's wit and her father's decision.
