IVONA: 1World 2Names
Chapter.81 So the Rebuttal

The smile that initially expands when contacted by a Marcus, instantly changes when Marcus invites him to talk about the cyber chaos in his country. Marcus' words immediately strained the head of the Institute who was also the deputy director at the national company. His voice was even stifled just to answer what Marcus was saying. The deputy director was still in disbelief, someone like Marcus contacted him, and asked him to discuss the matter he had just discussed with his company's expert staff.

He was increasingly unable to cover up the tension, as Marcus changed the call mode to vidio call. Without even coming face to face, he could already feel the cold aura of Marcus' voice, now plus having to look at the man's respected face, making his tension double.

On the other end of the phone, Marcus saw clearly the tense look on the deputy director's face through a vidio call. "Hello, you're still there to listen to me, aren't you?"

The deputy director was getting nervous, until someone who had come to bring news of Marcus' call had to nudge him to resuscitate his Master.

"Sir, Mr. Marcus is inviting you to speak" he whispered to the deputy director.

A little flinched, but the deputy director refocused on the screen where Marcus was waiting for him to discuss.

"L-yes, sir, what do you want to talk to me about here," replied the Vice Director nervously. The stern attitude he had shown to his staff earlier disappeared already along with the cold aura of Marcus' voice.

"I'd like to discuss what happened at your company this time" Marcus repeated.

"I mean, you?"

"I know what caused the chaos in your country" Marcus said.

There was obvious shock on the face of the deputy director. "How can this man know whether the news in his country has spread so quickly abroad." As soon as his mind speaks.

"Sorry, sir, I don't understand what you mean?" The deputy director prefers to pretend, as if in his country is fine, even though big chaos is befalling the country.

"You don't have to pretend you don't know what I mean, I already know what's going on in your country, and I'll help you this time."

The vice-director was flabbergasted by Marcus who could tell he was pretending.

"I'll tell you who caused this mess, but before that you have to promise to stop this investigation, and let the culprit go without any sanctions. Because if in my country, someone who has this kind of skill we will definitely protect because he is a valuable asset for the country."

The deputy director was still a little confused to interpret Marcus's sentence. How can perpetrators who have caused chaos should not be sanctioned.

"The man who has messed up the network system in your country is a native, but he is also a member of the computer institute I lead. And you should also know that this boy is very talented, so I dare to defend him."

The vice director widened his eyes, thinking about the person Marcus was talking about. In his country there was such a gifted child, and he didn't know it.

The deputy director could hardly believe hearing Marcus's words about a talented person who he said was being a hot talk in cyberspace. If I don't remember it wrong, isn't that girl still in high school.

"Are you serious about what you said, Mr Marcus?"

"Of course I'm serious."

"But, is not the child who is trending on the topic still SMA?" ask the deputy director to convince himself.

"You're right, that kid is still in high school, but he's got above average high school skills."

"Then, what's the point of screwing up our system?"

"You still dare to ask about his goal of disrupting the system, of course to protect himself. Didn't your company also take part in making the girl trending on the topic?"

"Maybe you misunderstood us, sir. We never had anything to do with that viral story. This is all purely the work of someone who spread the news" explained the deputy director.

"Look, once we know who did this mess, we'll fix our system immediately, and as you ask, we won't sanction the perpetrators. We will invite him to work together in our company. What do you think?"

"What?" Marcus looks shocked. "You're going to ask her to work together, have you forgotten that I said Ivona was already part of my team. He has joined the computer institution I lead. I'm the one who's going to pull her into my country, naturalize Ivona into our country, make her safer and more valued" Marcus said.

"It won't be that easy, sir. Once we know the talent within the child, our country will protect him as well. It would be best if he used his knowledge for his own country." The vice-president also did not want to lose. In his mind, if that kid in an instant could mess up the system of a large company must have been his talent was extraordinary. The age of the child is also still too young, his ability can still develop if someone guides him. That's what the deputy director had in mind.

"Did you know Ivona wasn't being treated well in your country?"

"After we learn of the talent in the boy named Ivona, of course we will take care of him and protect him, because he is an asset of the country as you said before."

Marcus gets a little upset, should he not have told you about Ivona and her incredible ability. Now in addition to being upset, he is also a little afraid that he will lose Ivona from his institution. It is unfortunate if it happens, because Ivona's role has been considered very important in the projects he works on.

After knowing Ivona's prowess, the deputy director also wanted to keep Ivona. He was sure the girl would be very useful to his company. Seeing from Marcus' attitude that really wanted Ivona to keep working on him, made him even more convinced that the girl was worth keeping.

"Let's just say, I'm still going to persuade Ivona to move to my country, but all the decisions I've made go to Ivona, if he doesn't want to transfer citizenship, you can't stop him from joining my team. How can Ivona have the freedom that we have to give priority to, and you also have to solve this matter well soon."

"Of course, Sir. I hope that Ivona's son will still choose his own country" the deputy director replied.
