20 20. No meeting, thanks.

Rira puts down her phone in annoyance. She receives a message from Xavier Lu about his superiors intention in meeting her earlier this morning. The man puts out the odds about her being reckless last time when using the gun unauthorised.

Thus, putting him in a tight spot. She indeed using the gun on her whim, but her intention was good. Alas, the laws stipulated about minors like herself using the gun already wrong in the first place. She could be reported for hindering the authority works.

This would put Alric into unintentional troubles.

" What the hell-" She wanted to vomits blood. She regrets it. So much!

But, who was she? Laws was laws, she is she. No trouble over this kind of 'trouble' at all. If they thought that coercion method could control her, then they are absolutely wrong. " I'm not going." She scoffed and choose to ignore the man. She wiped out the history chats and left the room without much worry. She simply doesn't care.

Alas, there was no 'give up' words in Xavier Lu's dictionary. In this past few days, she endures his constantly harassment and pestering about the meeting. Her indifferent almost make him vomits blood in anger.

Xavier Lu gnashing his teeth, displeased at her stubbornness. " What a stubborn girl! Not cute at all." He mumbled.

While overwhelmed by Liam constant persistency, Xavier Lu also had to endures an onslaught of 'harassment' from that higher-ups for the fact that he giving permission for Rira to used his gun. Truthfully be told, he should be been suspended from the work already if not for his special identity. The only thing they took off from him was his entitlement and was put under watch for a period of time.

Thus, here he was, free from work and mission. Well, not really as he takes this chance to investigate the case he currently situated in. The involvements of a group of both domestic and international hackers was already escalated quickly when another country fell into victims.

This time, Country R that was popular about their unique and indigenous cultural center. They reported that their information on the newly founded excavation sites was breached and deleted. What was worst, the excavation sites was attacked by a group of mountain bandits and indigenous people who exclaimed that the sites was their ancestors sacred tombs.

What was worst, two neighbouring countries also participate in the truce and claiming the site was at their borders. These three countries was actually surrounded the site in every crook and sides. In another word, the site located at the middle of three countries.

Only two days ago, a meeting between three countries was commerced nearby the site. Three delegates, including the Historical and Antique Ministers also comes with their excavators group. They tries to find any historical data about the site's true origin.

And, the weirdest thing is, all three countries had same cultural data about the same site. Thus, making the truce in stalemate.

" Captain, the three of countries both claiming that the historical site was their own cultural relics. Furthermore, they also presenting the evidences and some actual old scriptures from their respective ancestry halls. As we suspected, all evidences had traces of the site's history." One of Xavier Lu's men put the report on the meeting table. Those present was from Xavier Lu's original group of subordinates.

The room, again falls into another round of discussion. Their hushing didn't lessens the troubles, but adding headache to him instead. " Enough!"

Undisguised anger was clear in his displeased tone. His eyes turned cold and chilly, scaring the men into shutting their conversation down.

" Three countries with the same data and information. My conclusion is this tomb was their ancestors' shared tomb. One tomb with three different countries ancestors. It's not the first tomb that had this situation. Also, help me checking about another side of the tomb. The private hidden room that we discovered before. I had a hunch this hidden room hold something important about this shared tomb. I hope it's not what I'm thinking about." Xavier Lu sighed. His head throbbing since yesterday. He went inside to check the shared tomb, to investigate some doubtful information he received. Only last night, he discover that this shared tomb was not that simple as what written in the past records.

" Sigh*...How annoying." He murmured.

Rira took off as soon as the class ended. Julia had another appointment with that step sibling of her and their whole family went for dinner. In this regard, Julia had to accept the reality that her mother's remarried. And, her stepfather wasn't that bad and treated her so well.

Rira pulls out her vibrating mobile phone, taking a look at this private number. She had a hunch this call comes from that man, Xavier Lu. Sighed, she answered. Her lazy tone travelled through the connection, " What's up?"

Xavier Lu, not truly hold the high hope stunned when the call connected in three rings. " Comes down, we need to talk."

" No, busy." She ended it just like that, rendering Xavier Lu speechless.

Not cute at all!

Learning that the man looking for her, Rira took another turn and left from backdoor gate. As if she would see him as per his wishes. Her pace was so calm and leisure. She puts up earphones and hook it on her ears. Her recently downloaded favorite songs blasted through the earpieces. Her lips tilted upward, showing how good her mood was.

However, her mood halted when she was stopped by someone in middle of the road. She squinted, recognizing the person blocking her path. " Something?" She inquired.

Mora Noire gritting her teeth, holding back from barking out in anger. " How long you want to ignore me? It's been months now. Can you just forgive and forget the past? I promise not to doing that again. Please..." The word 'please' was pressed unwillingly, as if her heart and mind battled in and out of her for lowering her head to ask forgiveness.

" Oh...what a coincidence! I forgotten the reason why I mad at first place. Can you please repeat what you said last time? Clear without any parts missing." Rira smiled good naturally, while inside, she already snickering out loud.

The other girl face turned gray and paled. Her eyes widened violently. " You...you're too much! I said I apologized and this is how you treating me? I'm still your childhood best friend! You're being unreasonable right now!!" Mora shouted, attracting students around. She rolled her eyes, looking left and right, and finally gained some confident to continue her own tirades.

Rira humiliating her last time, and she still didn't pay it back. This time, she will makes her reputation soared and trample upon Rira's reputation.
