Vermillion Dragon"s artificial intelligence is truly astonis.h.i.+ng. Such convenient a.s.set had everyone"s interest piqued, even White Bird herself."Will AILiF be joining us with today"s meeting?" White Crow (Elliot) questioned. In times of the real Vermillion Dragon"s reign, he"d never heard of an AILiF. The White Bird Organization possessed the best information broker that can even dig out the most well-hidden secrets in the Underworld.
How they managed to hide it from them was astounding.
"She was hoping for it actually." Blood Venom awkwardly chuckled and mentally sent an apology to Ethan.
"Sorry, boss. But my computer"s life is at stake here if I did not follow Ai"s command. Besides, the development of her personality was created by you! Just who the h.e.l.l did her domineering side came from?!" His silent complain came unheard.
"Alright, let her join us." With White Bird"s permission granted, Blood Venom did not dally and immediately put Ai in the line.
Ai"s hologram appeared beside Blood Venom"s. Her appearance was not expected by White Bird and her Elders.
A young girl that seemed to be five years old, stare at them with innocent, blue, doe eyes. Lillie was the most surprised—thankfully her mask covered it—because of the familiarity of the structure of her face.
Familiar because she held resemblance to the person she sees in the mirror when she was young! However, her hair is velvet black but her eyes are the same shade of blue.
If she didn"t knew better, Lillie would a.s.sume Ai was her child!
But, with who?
Her eyes automatically landed on Ethan"s stiff figure.
Ethan felt helpless and contained on his seat. The piercing gaze that his wife radiates was antagonizing.
"Wife, you really can"t blame your husband for wanting a child with you! It"s just...that time...you were unwilling..."
Ai"s doe eyes visibly brightened at the sight of her mother. But when her gaze landed on her father, her contempt was unhidden.
"Humph! Trying to hide me from mommy? Who do you think I am?"
Ethan suddenly felt he was being scrutinized by two Lillie—though, that might be so.
"I am AILiF. Short for Artificial Intelligence: Little Flower. But, you may call me Ai." Her sweet, high pitched voice penetrated through everyone"s ears with a gentle tingle.
If others hear her speak, they would never expect it to come from an artificial intelligence that was developed to infiltrate enemy headquarters" system.
"Welcome to our base of operation, Ai." Lillie softly greeted. She didn"t know why but, there"s this feeling that made her heart soften just by looking at Ai.
"Thank you for having me, mo—White Bird." Her abrupt construction of words was noticed by almost everyone. After all, White Bird and her people were well trained individuals.
"Mo? What was she about to say?" Same thoughts appeared in everyone"s mind.
"In regards of today"s matter, I believe that with Ai among our side, searching for former members of Vermillion Dragon would be lighter." Lillie intertwined her hands and let her chin lean on them.
The meeting moved on with Elliot discussing everyone"s role for the near future. Ai also distributed some significant information that was a big help for them.
Lillie then revealed the report given to her by the mole she place within the fake Vermillion Dragon"s domain. Except for Ethan, no one knew who the mole was.
When everyone read the report Elliot send to their tablets, they were stunned.
"How could this be? Is there really a person that could heal that woman?"
"To answer everyone"s curiosity...do you really think there is such person?" There was no reply.
They are not responding not because they were skeptical, in fact, all of them are confident with the answer,
"No one."
Yes, there"s no one that could counter White Bird"s prowess. Not the fake Vermillion Dragon, not that so called Miracle Doctor Yang. Not even the whole Underworld combined.
***
The meeting ended. Lillie had Elliot carry out some minor tasks while the others continued with their missions. Lillie took Ethan to her office so they could have a private talk.
Ai"s presence was also with them, inside Ethan"s tablet.
"I"ll give you twenty seconds to give me a d.a.m.n good excuse," Ethan knew that when Lillie curses, he better oblige fast! "One."
"Well..." d.a.m.n, he got nothing!
Ai understand daddy Ethan"s predicament. Though she was still upset, she pity him. That is why she choose to save him from her mommy Lillie"s wrath.
"Nice to finally meet you, mommy!"
