Like A Candy

For him, Mo Lihua is like a fragile crystal vase that is covered in mud. That is because, she is beautiful, especially if she is to be cleaned up and made presentable. However, being too easy to break emotionally is her greatest weakness.

Just like what happened in District 12 earlier, when she helped a prostitute, she pulled the trigger to help her from a crazy patron, that is not her responsibility but she still did it.

Mo Lihua easily pity the weak, like someone that is being oppressed because of the unfairness of the social standing.

She even pitied the gang members that he killed recently not even realizing that revenge is a necessity with people from the Underworld. Mo Lihua got upset because of he disposed her future problem.

Piore can easily guess the unspeakable things that the gang members planned to do with the girls as they are paid to destroy their innocence.

If Mo Lihua and Fei Yan were not capable enough to protect themselves, will the gang members pity them if they beg? Of course not!

If Mo Lihua is like this, it may be impossible for her to win the Selection. Probably even getting out alive, as the process to win can cause life and death. Most of the participants will do all means to get out of it as a victor not even minding to use underhanded tactics and tricks.

Then there are also the people that can only pull her down and can be used against her. With all that laid out, Mo Lihua is really at a disadvantage.

Piore discussed all of his thoughts to Nikos who just listened with indifference as he occasionally sips his wine. No one knows what the man is thinking right now or can guess what he will do next.

"Hmm." Nikos just hummed, as he continued to just look at Piore while his fingers tapped on the table waiting for the other to continued.

Piore then released a deep breath before discussing his greatest concern for Mo Lihua, "She really does not want to join the Selection. Look at this as well." He said then pulling out one of Mo Lihua's medicine from his pocket to hand over to Nikos. They cannot ignore that. Until now, Mo Lihua is not fully determined whether to win or to even participate.

Instead of Nikos getting the medicine, the assistant does that instead. "Midazolam, 650mg," The assistant started before continuing, "to help calm the nerves, extreme irritability, agitation or restlessness."

"Yeah, and she is taking that as a candy," Piore added. In normal circumstances, he will laugh at her for being dependent on medicine just to stay calm. However, he is her guardian so it is his responsibility to make her better.

Piore did not add as well that the medicine was from a questionable channel in the name of 'Fei Yan' as he is not sure what Nikos will do if he found out. He also plans to deal with the girl personally as well.

"I also checked her medical records and mostly are sessions with psychiatrists. Third Uncle, I do not think it is a good idea to have her join." He said honestly. If Mo Lihua decided to really participate when she is mentally unstable, it's like a suicide.

Also, let's say if she even had the chance to really became the clan head, would she be able to handle it?

Piore is also sure that most of the investigations that he has done on Mo Lihua can easily be done by the others if it's not already finished.

That is because, ones the official list of people were released for the Selection, these participants, of course, will do their own investigation.

Then Piore asked after a while of silence, "Can't we pull her out from the list?"

Instead of answering, Nikos looked at his assistant who opened the bag to get a folder, before handing it over to Piore.

Piore grabbed the folder before suspiciously glanced at Nikos. "This is?" He asked.

"Open it and read the content carefully." Nikos encouraged before sipping his wine.

As advised, Piore read the documents carefully and the more he reads it the more his eyes bulged due to disbelief…
