Do you really have so little trust in me, Little Sister?" Jiyong asked, teasing her.
Jennie vaguely saw the amusement shining in her brother's eyes in the darkness. "I trust you, Big Brother. It's just that I don't really know what you're doing with your group, especially after seeing all your scars. I haven't seen all of your scars but I know that they cover your entire body. Don't lie to me. I just know. Although I'm curious and want to know what you're doing and how you really got your scars, I respect your privacy because you're important to me. I'm not going to investigate you on my own without your permission. I have a feeling that you're doing something dangerous but every time I ask, you always brush me off. What can I do besides worry? I'm waiting for the day that you'll tell me what you're really doing."
Jiyong remained silent.
"If you're really doing something dangerous, then of course I'll worry about you. And now I discover that Louis is helping you out. If he's involved in anything dangerous, the risk of him making a mistake and being exposed to others increases. You know what kind of things will happen to him, to me, and to us if others discovered about his existence."
"Meow! Mommy, don't scold Uncle Jiyong anymore! Wuwuwuwu! Louis didn't do anything dangerous! Promise! Louis just helped Uncle Jiyong because his hacker team is being so slow and incompetent—"
"In-com-pe-tent?" Jiyong was taken aback.
His team was...incompetent? He narrowed his eyes and looked at his sister who was intent on listening to her youngest's drivel about his subordinates. She looked like she didn't see anything wrong with what the blasted cat was saying.
INCOMPETENT?!
If only Louis had a physical body, he would have already smacked his fluffy butt a couple of times to discipline and punish him.
However, Louis was on a roll, talking nonstop. "—so I decided to help them because it's super-duper annoying to watch them struggling to complete something so easy! Mommy, you should have seen them! I'm sure that you'll also feel bothered by their incompetence! Meow!"
Jiyong closed his eyes, resisting the urge to snap at the talkative cat. His team wasn't incompetent at all! It was just that compared to Louis and especially his genius sister who created the cat AI, his hacker team might seem incompetent because the two were just too superior.
"Mommy, Uncle Jiyong is family, right? Uncle Jae and Auntie Clover told Louis that family should always help each other, except for the selfish poopoo-heads who don't deserve to be treated like family. Uncle Jiyong is not a selfish poopoo-head and he's family, so Louis doesn't see anything wrong with helping him and his incompetent hacker team. Meow~ Louis just helped them uncover and organize files regarding Uncle Jiyong's newly-acquired local businesses which is taking them forever to complete! It's very similar to the tasks Daddy often gives me so I know exactly what to do! Is Louis wrong to help out Uncle Jiyong this way, Mommy? Meow?"
Jennie thought that Louis made sense. She ignored Louis' use of the word "poopoo-head" for now. The naughty cat must have learned it from either Jae or Clover again. Jennie planned on discussing it with Lisa and figure out together if the word should be added to Louis' list of bad words that he wasn't allowed to use.
"No, Louis. You're not wrong," Jennie finally replied.
"Meow~ So Louis is a good kitty?"
Jennie couldn't help but smile. "Yes. You're a good kitty, Louis."
Meows of happiness filled the dark hallway. The siblings could almost see a delighted white cat skipping on the floor in front of them.
Jiyong's earlier annoyance at his hacker team being called incompetent disappeared. He chuckled like the devil.
"Don't worry, Little Sister. I assure you that your youngest didn't do anything dangerous. It's true that he only helped out in digging out lost or hidden documents and also in organizing everything. Something that would normally take my team a week or two to complete, your youngest finished in just a few hours. He's been tremendously helpful."
"Ehehehe. Thanks, Uncle Jiyong~ Louis is the best because I'm Mommy's baby!"
Hearing her brother praising Louis, Jennie was also filled with pride, temporarily making her forget about her earlier concerns.
"Alright. As long as you didn't do anything dangerous," she said. "But we'll still have to tell this to your dad later. He might not like it so be ready if he decides to punish you."
"Ehehe—Meow?! Nooooooo! Mommy, please don't let Daddy punish Louis! Wuwuwuwu!!!"
Jiyong was amused listening to cat AI whining about being punished. If this was before, he would have found it ridiculous. Now, however, he was already used to the cat AI being treated like a real child. He would even forget sometimes that Louis wasn't a real, living being. Whenever he remembered this fact, he would always feel amazed by his sister's abilities. His sister was truly a genius.
"Listen to your mother, Liam," he said.
"Meow?! Uncle Jiyong, Louis' name is Louis, not Liam! Wuwuwuwu!"
Jiyong laughed.
"Uncle Jiyong, please ask Daddy not to punish Louis! Wuwuwuwu! Louis was just curious and wants to help Uncle Jiyong.... Meow...."
His eyes sharpened.
"Really? You want to help Uncle?"
"Yes! Meow!"
"Big Brother..." Jennie couldn't help but say in a warning tone.
He flashed a devilish smile at her. "I know your concerns, Little Sister. But it would be really helpful to me if I have a powerful AI like your youngest. I hope that you're still considering my request in giving me one. Even if it's not as high-powered, I'll take it."
Jennie tilted her head to the side, considering it.
"Think about it," he said.
She nodded.
Afterwards, they finally returned to their own bedrooms. While preparing for bed, Jennie was tempted to check Louis' memory to see the things he did to help her brother. However, she stopped herself.
"I trust Big Brother."
The night ended with Jennie falling into deep sleep before Lisa could return to their room.
