The moment Marco mentioned Mo Lihua's father, he expected the smile on her face to disappear, but that did not happen. Instead, her smile widens further that made him frown in confusion.

Nevertheless, Marco continued to speak. "It is essential that you have someone to help you. You cannot count Piore as your personal help, especially during the Selection. He would be a neutral party at that time." 

"There are a lot of things that needed to be done aside from you trying to save your father. I also heard that those who abducted him also hurt some people that are close to the Mo family. It would be less than a month before the Selection will officially take place. With that, I could guarantee that other people might still get involved and harmed because of you." Marco continued.

'What a talkative man.' Piore thought to himself as he silently listened. Though was still unsure on why Mo Lihua was acting strangely, at least he could watch a good show soon. 'And, she is not hurting me anymore. She probably needed her medicine, but she looks fine to me.'

Most medicines, especially for the likes of Mo Lihua's case that had trauma from childhood, were there to help the person mentally. These medicines were like vessels that help them believe that they were getting better. 'See, her hands are not shaking anymore. '

Piore watch Mo Lihua nodded in agreement to Marco. He wanted to shout that words were trapping her.

"Mo Lihua, you are still young and needs all the help that you could get. We are willing to help you make thing easier, so you can do what you want. You need to cooperate with our arrangements." Marco stated seriously. 

"Arrangements?" Mo Lihua replied with a smile like she was considering the suggestion. "We are family. Right? Why are there so many formalities?" She asked.

Marco chuckled, "Of course, we are family. However, it will be a fair give and take arrangement."

The smile on Mo Lihua's face disappeared. "You know uncle, I hate it when people need to die because of me. If I can do something to avoid that, I will do it." She said seriously. 

"You do not need to do that alone. That is also what we want. More death, the more the authorities would be suspicious, the less business we can do. Rest assured that if you are willing to work with is, we will make sure that there were no more casualties around you."

"Do you want to be part of the Selection and possibly be the head of the family knowing that you caused too many death of the innocent you have caused because of it? I already told you earlier. If there would be any miracle and you won, the losers will do all they can to get your life." Marco offered.

Mo Lihua smiled brightly and hummed after hearing understanding what Marco was trying to tell, "That is a very enticing offer. By the way, Uncle, I am glad someone has the heart to apologize on behalf of the whole Doncrelli family."

"Regarding the Selection, I know that Piore cannot help me with it personally. So I only ask him to do some things for me. He was also not very cooperative most of the time. Just like earlier, I want to continue sleeping, but he forced me to go here and meet everyone." Mo Lihua complained with a pout on her face. "What do you thing we need to do to punish him so that he could be more cooperative in the future. He is my guardian, right?"

"Exactly. I am your guardian and not your servant" Piore answered with annoyance.

"Tsk. Piore! You do not have the right to speak when not asked!" Marco yelled suddenly. "You can punish him as you fit my niece." He said at Mo Lihua.

"Alright! I will do that later. For now, uncle, can you help me with something?" She asked curiously.

"Of course!" Marco's eyes brightened. A little more step and Mo Lihua would officially agree with them. He was telling her some details about the 'mutual' agreement that they planned. It would not be long until she would know all the details, and he did not want any distraction, especially Piore, who was not even from his side!

"Great! I want to do something, uncle but I think it would be bad to do it. Can I at least give it a try? I know you are the only I can depend on it." Mo Lihua asked seriously.

Marco laughed loudly before nodding his head. "Go ahead, try it!"

"Great! I want to take out Nine Aunt's eyes. She keeps on glaring on my way!" Mo Lihua said as she stood up from her chair...
