Bab 20 You think that's a compliment?

A knock can be heard from the window of Lucas's room, making him curious. He took the weapons he had prepared just in case.

When the window opened, he saw a familiar woman.

"You …"

"Hmm. Can you put your gun down? I want to come in." Veen said, making Lucas immediately lower his gun. "I can't believe you even came here to look for me."

"You think that's a compliment?" While Veen entered his hotel room, Lucas asked.

The woman wasn't even afraid that he would suddenly catch her.

"Looks like you have a lot of guts. You even came here to meet me."

"What difference does it make for you to be a police officer? Even a police officer can do bad things, many of you do other bad things such as taking drugs, selling people, sexual harassment, and even corruption. So, it's possible that you came because you want to sell me."

Lucas was silent. He couldn't believe that a woman who was said to be stupid could say such a thing. He began to doubt that what other people said was true.

Unlike Lucas, who is still deep in his thoughts, Cleo only stares at him. A few moments ago, she got a mission, and her target was the man in front of her. So many people offered her a mission to kill him, with a big reward.

She can only frown. Does the man even realize that he is an assassination target with a big reward for anyone who kills him?

"Your room is over there," Cleo said, pointing to a room.

"Oh, right. Thank you, "Lucas exclaimed, looking in the direction where Cleo's finger was pointing. He looks back at Cleo; his question hasn't been answered by Cleo.

Cleo was curious. Why does the man who is currently with her have such a high value? But it isn't important to her, because that is the rule.

She could see that the man seemed like a good person. Cleo sees the progress of the case, but the case didn't even appear. Instead, what appeared was a search to find her.

There is even a case where someone used his name for the person's personal use, making a fuss. So many different cases from different people.

Meanwhile, in the next room, Lucas is playing a game on his laptop when he receives a phone call from Alesia.

"Sir, the presence of this killer made so many others use her name."

Lucas frowned. He didn't expect that the current case would invite so much trouble for him and his team.

"We were not even given permission to further investigate the case of the presidential candidate." One of his teammates complained.

He understands that what they are currently investigating is not an ordinary case, but a big one. It needs some sacrifice to solve this case.

"Ok... I'll be home in a few days, bringing witnesses..." Lucas said as he hung up the phone.

Moments after he finished his meeting with his team members, Lucas let out a shaky breath and lay down on the bed. He is now in the guest room.

Somewhere else, Cleo's cell phone rings, showing a name.

"I met him during my mission in Indonesia, and that man was a man who dared to pierce my arm with a bullet," said Cleo, making the man on the other end burst out laughing.

Do you want me to eliminate him? Kidnap and kill him? "the man asked.

Cleo frowned. "No need, I'll handle him myself," Cleo said as she hung up the phone.

She opens the door and looks into Lucas' room. Cleo took the initiative to see firsthand what Lucas was doing, even though she could see it using her android eye.

Knock... Knock... Knock…

There was a knock on Lucas' door. Cleo was carrying some snacks and drinks.

Clack!

Lucas was surprised when he saw Cleo, who was bringing him a drink.

"Do you want to play a game with me?" Cleo asked.

"Eee..." Lucas was a bit confused.

"Nevermind, you're busy right... I'll put this here..." Cleo said as she walked out.

Wait... I... I'll accompany you to play the game. "Lucas said

Lucas thinks that being close to Cleo would allow him to take her to Indonesia and use her as a witness to get as much information as he wants. He didn't want to waste the opportunity.

Cleo then accompanies Lucas to play games. Usually, Cleo would play games with her adoptive father, but because of his father's work in the organization, Cleo has no friends and invited Lucas to play.

"Uncle..." Cleo called Lucas.

Lucas was surprised when Cleo called him uncle. How can he be called something like that by Cleo? He couldn't believe that he had just been called an uncle. As for Cleo, she had spoken like that on purpose. She wanted her disguise to be perfect, and that is why she called him Uncle.

"Eee… Uncle? I'm not that old for you to call me uncle." Lucas said. "Call me Lucas." Lucas refused.

He is still young and single. He does not want to be called uncle by a woman whose age is not far from his.

Even though Cleo wanted to laugh, she tried her best not to.

"Why don't you want to be called Uncle? I even have an uncle who is as old as you." Cleo said.

"He's your uncle, I'm not." "Lucas said firmly." He didn't want Cleo to call him uncle, it was very annoying to hear.

Because Lucas' face looked strange in Cleo's eyes, he didn't want to be equated with Cleo's uncle. Cleo laughed. It was the first time she had seen such a funny expression on a man. because he was ridiculed. And.. for the first time too, there was a woman who could make Lucas smile and laugh at the same time.

"Hey… didn't they say that you are… em…" Lucas stammered a bit, he doesn't want to offend the girl in front of him.
