Elio went to the assigned location, maid and deacons group had undergone training for 3 days before officially becoming a member of Goldberg's servants. The second group already worked with the bodyguards of their target, Claire Goldberg.
According to Commander Aquilino, Claire Goldberg is one of the top ten outstanding entrepreneurs, not only with her business acumen help the company jump into the Fortune Global 100 companies, but she also used her research experience to invent a way to extract rare metals from the volcano. A woman deserved to be called a legend, no wonder why people coveted her legacy.
For someone who lived in a chaotic surrounding, she must be familiar with any urgent situation, and that is also the reason Elio wonders why she didn't ask help from Nuée directly, instead of the government sending them to take care of her secretly.
"Are you thinking about anything that might harm us?" Rurika adjusted her hairpin, and her sudden approach of her is scared the heart out of Elio.
Grabbing his pumping heart, Elio almost cried out, "Please don't stand behind me without a single sound."
"You are the weirdo Okay, you should be grateful that I wasn't an assassin, or you are dead. And walking without sound is the basic lesson to being an S-rank agent, trained yourself kiddo." Rurika's words sound arrogant, however, she is right.
This mission's key is naturally blending into Goldberg's servant team to protect their target. Besides that, they have no permission to inquire about information from their direct client Claire Goldberg. That's the reason why Rurika prevented Elio from digging their mission too deep.
"Thank you for your guidance, Ms.Valentino, I'll keep your words in mind." Elio bowed his head, from the perspective of Rurika, she saw Elio as a well-behaved doggy, and her hands always moved before her brain provided instruction, the next second, her hand was already on Elio's face, "Ms...Valentino?"
"Geez...you talk like a well-trained puppy, it makes me sick!!! Can you talk like a human?? I thought boys your age would be like Yung, that one is too active, and you are the merit student!" Rurika tortured Elio's face until Issac was well dressed and stepped into this place.
"Rurika STOP!!!! Don't hurt our precious new member!" Issac grabbed Rurika's hand off Elio's face, that poor new bird's face swollen.
Rurika acts normal, if Issac didn't see it in his eyes, he might thought Elio got hurt from somewhere. Issac can feel a headache because of the unmatured behavior of Rurika, "Elio, please don't mad at Rurika, she just a little be childish."
"I think Yung is funnier than him." Rurika still thinks she has a reason.
"Don't judge our new birdy. We have things to do." Issac checked on his watch, an old mechanical watch he grabbed from the costume office. For the last minute before their cars arrived, Issac checked on Rurika and Elio's outfits one more time, Issac felt a sense of relief that they dressed perfectly.
They arrived at Goldberg's mansion in the afternoon, maid leader and head butler stood at the gate to wait for them. Issac noticed they were greeted by their future supervisor at the side door, since Goldberg didn't open any job position to the public, Issac assumed Nuée used some approach to force Goldberg to accept a new helper.
"Rose Johnson right? You should come with me right now." The maid leader grabs Rurika's hand before she replies with a word.
Elio didn't fully comprehend what was happening, Rurika had disappeared, he looked at Issac carefully, and the head butler detected his anxious feeling of Elio, he approached him with a gentle smile, "Our master is going to host a small dinner party at the mansion, that's the reason why Ms.Johnson has to arrived her position immediately. And sorry for our rude behavior, however, Mr.Smith and Mr.Wilson I also need hands from both of you."
The next minute, Elio and Issac were standing in the dining hall, butlers were holding a bunch of flowers to decorate the long tables, and some of them were focusing on checking the tableware was placed at the right angles.
"Let me help you." Issac blended into the butlers effortlessly and left Elio standing at the door like a lost child.
"Hey! Can't you see I need help?" One of them yelled at Elio, and his demand finally recalled the soul of Elio back to reality.
While they were busy helping decorate the room, Rurika already took control of the kitchen, chefs were busy checking the taste of the sauce, and Rurika was the key person before they could present their dishes to the guests.
"Add more salt in it, and you, your hands are stopping. We need to serve the best plat to our honorable guests! "
"Aye aye miss!"
Rurika brought their hearts into one in only 30 minutes, besides people who worked in the kitchen, only the maid leader knew what happened.
Back to the time that the maid leader grabbed Rurika. Rurika was at the edge of exploding her dissatisfaction, she couldn't bear people pointing her to do things that she didn't want to, and she did receive several warning letters from Nuée, still acting her way. However, this time is slightly different, Rurika is willing to help the chefs, it is due to the food they made all tastes awful, if flavor can be weaponized, the taste of Goldberg is a guided missile because it could burst in one's restricted area with precision.
"Can't believe our master fond such special favor." Rurika sitting on a stone step and signed.
"Well, the head chef knew the taste was bad, but Master Brown loved it. Since his death, our master Goldberg doesn't want to forget the taste he loves." The maid leader stepped behind Rurika, she looked quite satisfied with the performance that Rurika presented.
"I have no right to judge, I assume maids have to cook their own meal?" Rurika smirked at the maid leader, her professional maid skills already earned the trust of the leader, and Rurika's attitude was dynamic enough, that she took the maid leader off guard eventually.
On the other hand, Issac and Elio are still busy serving drinks to the guests, until 10 P.M., guests are going to leave.
Mio stood behind Mrs.Goldberg, she could observe everyone's facial expression, the whole dinner was around the topic of health, Mrs.Goldberg kept asking if they had any discoveries, and then all of a sudden, their topic turned into a mythic, there is rumor about a saint used its power to healed a child who infected a weird dermatitis.
From the moment Mrs.Goldberg heard this rumor, her eyes reflected hope in it, and she back to the business smile in a second.
Right now, Mio can hear she is arguing with someone on the phone, Sounds like they are talking about that 'legendary saint', at the end of their conversation, it's a broken sound of a vase.
"Mrs.Goldberg, are you alright?"
"Leave me alone!"
The door makes Mrs.Goldberg's voice blur.
Mio stood back to her position, and when she looked up, she saw Elio was passing away, her eyes glanced at him for a half second.
Total strangers.
"I can smell the suspicious smell between you and Mio."Issac talks to Elio suddenly.
"Woah--!!" Elio's heart almost jumped out of his mouth, Issac didn't make a single sound when he approached Elio, and Elio couldn't understand why he was stuck behind his back, social distancing meant nothing to Nuée's agent.
Elio still confusing all those weird behaviors that Nuée's agent made, seems like Mio and Rurika aren't rare species in this organization, he had thought Issac would be the normal one.
"Elio? Don't ignore me, I'm talking to you." Issac tried to call Elio's attention back to him, Elio looked at him embarrassedly, and he said, "I wasn't ignoring you, I'm just thinking. Would mind stepping back a bit?"
Elio initiatively pulls away the distance between him and Issac, however, Elio doesn't realize that S-rank agents mentally lack nerve, due to their getting too used to the violent conflict, common courtesy became a term that they have to learn from time to time, and since Elio is a new member, Issac easily treated him like his kinds, that's why be the one confused about Elio's action, Issac asked, "Why? Are you hiding something?"
"No...Just give me some space. My mind is a mess!" Elio lost his calm.
He cried and screamed while running away from Issac, leaving Issac in the hallway stuck in a maze named 'Elio'.
