"Because my question has been answered, it's your turn. You can ask me one question," Rhiana spoke while twirling her phone.
"none. I just want you to do something for me," Rhiana raised her eyebrows next to Marie.
"Kill me now!" Marie continued. Rhiana's response was normal.
"Why do you want to die so soon?" Ask Rhiana casually.
"I'd rather die here than die at their hands." Marie of course still vividly remembered what would happen to the traitors in the underground organization.
A person who betrays an underground organization, his death will not be easy. She would be stripped naked without thinking about her gender. Furthermore, that person was hung upside down in front of all the members of the underground organization and was viciously tortured. Not just that. The person's body will be mutilated and sent to his family. Isn't that the same as hurting their families?
As long as there was a choice to die at the hands of this girl, Marie would rather choose her. Although the underground organization did not know about his family, but they would definitely find his family sooner or later. Especially when Marie dies, the whereabouts of her family will certainly be exposed.
"If I say I can protect you and your family, do you believe me?" Marie was stunned to hear Rhiana's words.
If that's true, Marie would be very happy. Unfortunately, his loyalty to the underground organization could not be underestimated. In any case, the organization has been helping his family for several years. Marie looked at Rhiana and smiled sincerely. This is the first time that a genuine smile has been given to a stranger other than her mother and sister.
"Can I make an offer?" Marie hoped that Rhiana would agree to her request.
"Please,"
"I don't need you to protect me. Instead, protect my family. If you agree, I can stand between two sides from now on." The two-sided intent was to work for an underground organization and work for Rhiana.
"Heh. you are so brave," Rhiana smiled then continued. "Either two sides you can do or not. But. Let's trust you for now."
"Thank you." Rhiana simply nodded back at Marie's words.
"In that case, I'll help you clean up this place and create a scenario for you." After saying that, Rhiana then stood up and left the sports hall.
After Rhiana's departure, several people appeared and placed one female corpse among the members of the underground organization who had fainted. They made it look like it was Rhiana and Marie who had killed him.
Marie just silently stared at what the shadow guard of Rhiana's trust was doing. Everything was done quickly and neatly. All arranged in such a way, until the manuscript was given to Marie.
Marie simply accepted it and read the contents of the white paper in her hand. Marie was grateful that she chose to be on two sides from now on. But, if told to choose one, Marie would certainly switch to choosing the dangerous girl. Of course Rhiana could guess what Marie's choice was.
For now, Marie remains safe as there are no witnesses to her betrayal. In addition, for some reason, Marie chose to believe in the girl who became a fugitive of the underground organization she worked for. Her words made Marie believe her.

Due to a hostage incident at the sports hall, the Olympics were temporarily suspended. There were also some rooms that had to be repaired because of the damage caused by the explosion that Rhiana made.
Russia is immediately shocked by a hostage incident at the Russian Olympic sports hall. Many of the hostage-taking victims were questioned about the incident.
Russia's security services have been investigating, but there was no indication. Naturally, there was no clue whatsoever, because Rhiana had already cleared the place to remove her tracks and the traces of the shadow guards. The rest of the traces of members of the underground organization were certainly cleared by Marie.
The Olympics will resume next week after the building is repaired. Rhiana could also think of the next plan on the underground organization.

Rhiana was staring at the package sent to her. Inside the box was a gown, higheels, a jewelry box, and a silver mask. Rhiana was thinking, who sent this box to her.
Just now he was about to ask someone for help to find out who sent this box, his phone rang the sign of the incoming call.
The name of the A3 painter is there. Rhiana frowned and answered the call.
"Good afternoon, sir. Can I help you?"
"Good afternoon. Sorry to interrupt your time, Rhi. Can you attend the auction tonight? Representing the A3 painter."
"representing you? Why should I, sir?" Rhiana was thinking, whether she should agree or not.
"It's only you that I trust, Rhi. And also, I'm in Switzerland. You don't forget, if my main job is an assistant, right?"
"I understand. What time is the auction, sir?" Rhiana finally agreed to it as well. Counting eliminated his sense of boredom because it had been two days that he had done nothing.
Fortunately, Brilyan did not bother him. How can he approach Rhiana, if Dalfa and Dalfi always keep her away from Rhiana.
"At 8 p.m. To be clear, there was an invitation inside that box. You should wear that dress too. The package has arrived, hasn't it?"
"Here you go, sir."
"Yes, already. I'm gonna close this call,"
"Good, Sir. Good afternoon."
"Yes." Yeah."
The call ended.
Rhiana turned to take the invitation inside the box and read it. Nodding her head, Rhiana then sent a message to someone. In just a few minutes, an email came in on his phone. Rhiana then took her iPad and read the file sent to her.
It turned out that this auction was organized by a union known as the Pentagon. The Pentagon is a union formed 10 years ago. The Pentagon has 100 members. Plus 5 vice-chairmen and a chairman who is the supreme leader of the Pentagon union. There were 106 people in total.
The requirement to enter the Pentagon is that its members must have their own business whether it is legal or illegal, as long as it produces billions or trillions of dollars each month. The Pentagon does not care about the illegal business of any of its members, because the identity of each member of the pentagon is highly classified. Only the chairman and his 5 deputies know the identity of each member.
Every Pentagon union meeting, everybody has to wear a mask so they don't know each other. Their identity is recognized only as the chairman, vice chairman and member, through the mask and initials of the name listed on the left chest of each.
Gold mask for the Chairman, silver mask for the 5 vice-chairmen and lastly black mask for the remaining 100 members.
This union was formed only for the pleasure of the conglomerates. They just waste money, or invest to increase their wealth.
"Hm... this group of rich people, hopefully there is something interesting there," muttered Rhiana then put her iPad back on the nightstand.
...
Right at 7pm, Rhiana was ready with a black dress suit sent for her. Rhiana tonight let her hair be stroked with a part of it clamped in the back. Not to forget too, Rhiana wore a silver mask that was available in a box.
"It seems like it wasn't bad," Rhiana gave an assessment to the dress she was wearing. This dress suits his taste. No less material and not too fancy. This black dress fits her perfectly.
Feeling that her appearance was enough, Rhiana picked up a handbag that was also in the same color as the dress she was wearing. Rhiana then rushed out. Rhiana walked quietly without caring anyone recognized her. After all, he wore a mask and his appearance was different from usual.
Arriving at the exit of the hotel, Rhiana stood waiting for an invitation that Felix said would arrive at 19:10. Means in a minute. Rhiana patiently waited, until a red ferry stopped in front of her. Rhiana had not expected this ferry to pick her up.
"Fine," Rhiana recognized the voice of the man inside the ferry who was also wearing a silver-colored mask like him. Rhiana said nothing and got into the car.
"If it's you, it doesn't matter. And also... Stop calling me sister-in-law." Artya of course did not like to be called that way.
"There's nothing wrong with that call. Artya's sister is my sister-in-law, isn't she?" Rhiana smiled thinly without looking at Artya who glanced at her flatly.
"Replace that call!" Artya's tone of voice sounded intimidating.
"Why should? I still uphold manners," Rhiana would not be that easy to obey this Brilyan sister.
Artya sighed trying to calm down. Talking to this little girl is not easy. During this time, Artya did not say much and her words were never answered like this. He always said a few words, the next person who heard him would understand.
Not to mention, people were extremely afraid of him, given the one mistake they made, life was at stake. But this girl is different. He's not afraid of her at all. Artya increasingly wanted to make this little girl by his side.
"Whatever." Artya had to give up. Rhiana smiled faintly then looked out at the car.
"But why did my sister-in-law pick me up?" This made Rhiana curious.
"Because it's you."
"Because of me?" Rhiana put on a thinking pose. He knew, Artya was teasing him. Unfortunately, Rhiana pretended not to know.
"This girl..." Artya muttered in heart.
Although wearing a mask that covers the forehead to the nose, but Artya can imagine how adorable the face of this little girl beside him. After waking up, Artya shook her head. He could think of the face of the girl who has the status of his sister-in-law.
Artya did not give the answer that Rhiana wanted. Rhiana finally just kept quiet and no longer asked until they arrived at the Pentagon building.
Before descending, Rhiana glanced at the signboard on Artya's left chest. There's an AX initial there. Rhiana's own FL. Rhiana seemed to have to find out in more detail the reason why Artya joined this guild.
"Come on!" Rhiana regained her senses when Artya reached out to her.
"Sister-in-law didn't plan to take me from Brilyan, did she?" Rhiana joked before welcoming Artya's hand.
"If so, why?" Artya replied after positioning Rhiana's hand to hold her.
"Huh?" Rhiana frowned despite not being seen due to being covered in a mask. Artya did not explain and turned to look ahead.
"Wait, Sister-in-law...! doesn't brother-in-law feel weird being around me?" Rhiana is only aware of the condition of Artya who has a hygiene disease.
'Sister in law again...'
Artya wanted to silence her lips that had called her sister-in-law. Of course silencing in a little way.
"You're too chatty. Shut up before I kiss!" The sacred sentence finally came out of Artya's lips. With this, Rhiana finally kept quiet as well. Rhiana was sure, of course, if the words of this man were not playing games.
Unknowingly, the corner of Artya's lips was slightly drawn upwards looking at Rhiana who was instantly silent due to the threat from her. It looks like this threat will be used in the future.

The atmosphere inside the main hall for this evening auction was a little noisy, considering every member of the Pentagon was arriving. There are more people attending tonight than the entire Pentagon. Of course, because most come with their respective partners.
Another rule in this union is that any auction or activity outside a special meeting of Pentagon members, allowed to come with a partner or represented. So, there were quite a lot of people present tonight. I don't know what will be auctioned tonight, Rhiana herself was curious. He also hopes there is something interesting here.
Those who saw the appearance of Rhiana and Artya certainly paid their respects, considering that both of them were vice-chairmen, visible from the silver mask both wore and the initials of their names. For Rhiana herself, they knew she was just a representative. Because all they know, the vice chairman with the initials FL is a man.
Rhiana and Artya then took positions in two special vacant seats of the vice-chairmen. The other seats are already filled by other representatives with their respective partners.
At exactly 8 p.m., the auction begins.
"Sister-in-law...Why are few people wearing silver masks, while most wear black masks?" Rhiana whispered to Artya. The goal is just to disturb Artya. He clearly knew, this man did not like to talk much.
"Silver mask for 5 vice-chairmen, black for members, and gold for chairman."
"Then where is the chairman? I didn't see it," Rhiana looked around looking for someone wearing the gold mask in question.
"The chairman has his own place to attend the auction. Precisely above the back," Rhiana smiled faintly not expecting Artya to be so patient in explaining to her even though in a whisper.
"Well..great! Has the sister-in-law seen the chairman's face?"
"Hm."
"What's the guy like?"
"Why are you so curious about the Pentagon chief?"
"Don..." Rhiana put on a thinking pose again.
"If he's handsome, maybe I can get close to him and ask for some assets he has,"
Artya covered her mouth with her hands and gazed in the other direction not wanting Rhiana to see her smile that could not be held back anymore. The girl next to him is so adorable, he thought.
"You're the son of a rich man, why think that?" Of course the words were just Artya said in her heart.
"Isn't your lover a rich man? Why not ask him? You can ask me too." Artya's whisper in Rhiana's ear. This time it was more sensual. Artya wanted to tease this girl again.
"Can't, Brother-in-law. The rich are my beloved parents. So, I can't ask her." Rhiana shook her head and replied innocently. Somehow tonight Rhiana is very comfortable talking even seductive Artya.
"Then ask me." Artya made an offer.
"What does sister-in-law do?"
"That's a secret."
"Then, it doesn't. I don't want to be arrested by the police for possessing assets from illegal businesses."
Artya was eager to pinch this girl's cheek. His mood was so good just from hearing this girl's innocent babble. Artya had never felt like this before. Artya was also aware of the changes to her body that received a direct touch from this girl. She did not feel any disgust being close together and even came into contact with Rhiana.
"You don't know what job I have. Why are you thinking so badly?"
"It's just my feeling, brother-in-law."
Just as Artya was about to say something, the host who was leading the auction this evening started to open the main session. Namely, auction.
