It had been quite a long time since Lisa had drank an alcoholic beverage so he couldn't help but frown a little when the cocktail hit his palate. He consumed only about one-third of the cocktail before stopping and putting it down on the table.
Bam leaned closer to him and whispered, "Sir, are you feeling alright?"
"Hm." He was okay. For now.
Then a polite, matter-of-fact, child's voice spoke through his earpiece. "Father, Luka is 99.98% certain that Mother will become upset once she learns about this plan that you and Uncle Jiyong devised as a counterattack to Diana's plot tonight. This plan is certainly not the classiest, but according to Luka's own forecast analysis, although it's one of the most dangerous options to Father's safety, it's also the one that has the highest probability of completely destroying Diana while obtaining the necessary evidence against her in this attempted crime, and at the same time making sure that the involvement of Uncle Jiyong and Shadow Winds in tonight's mission won't get them into trouble with the authorities.
"Since this is the case, Luka reluctantly agrees to stay silent about your plan as per Father and Uncle's request and not report it to Mother if she doesn't specifically asks for it. However, if she does asks, Luka will not hesitate to divulge everything to Mother. I don't want Mother to become upset with Luka ever again. It is horrible and makes Luka want to destroy the whole world which is not classy at all."
Lisa sighed and tapped his ear, replying to his cat AI son in Morse code. 'OK.'
The other executives were too absorbed in chatting with each other and enjoying their cocktails that they didn't notice their boss secretly conversing with someone else through an earpiece. Those who saw Lisa gently tapping his ear only thought that he was probably thinking about something important, perhaps about the Corporation's year-end performance, or maybe he was just scratching an itch in the ear.
Lisa's secret conversation with his cat AI son in Morse code continued.
Luka told him in a serious tone, "Most importantly, Luka also doesn't want to upset Mother too much by telling her the truth about Father and Uncle's plan. Mother is still in her first trimester and Luka doesn't want anything bad to happen to her or my twin baby human siblings.
"That's why Father should take extra care of yourself as you throw yourself directly into danger tonight. Uncle, Shadow Winds, Father's security team and Luka will all do our best to get you out of Diana's evil clutches safely before Mother realizes what's going on."
Lisa once again tapped his ear. 'Understood.'
"Father, please also remember—"
Silence.
Lisa waited for five seconds but Luka was still silent. He tapped his ear. 'Son, are you OK?'
No response.
'What happened?'
Still no reply.
He frowned, no longer able to maintain his stoic expression. Fortunately, the other executives were too engrossed in their own conversations and drinks that they didn't notice anything amiss about their boss. Or if some did, the alcohol had already somewhat dulled their senses that they failed to register their boss' change of expression.
"Father, my apologies for being unable to reply right away."
Lisa was relieved when he heard Luka's voice again.
"Eagle is interfering in our control of the hotel's surveillance system. Luka and my colleagues from Shadow Winds' hacker team are now battling against Eagle to regain control without alerting the hotel's admin and the authorities."
