Codename:phoenix - Chapter 213 One Who Must Not Be Named
“What is happening, Rentao? Did I hear it right? Europa wants to get out the hall and go to Misha?”Wang Reiki sounded really worried as she run down the stairs to reach the next floor.
“Yes, boss. Miss Europa insists that she feeds her pet cat.” Rentao subtly turned his head away from table 10 to answer Wang Reiji’s query.
“So, they brought Misha here? Oh my! I told the twins not to take Europa’s pet with them no matter how cute Europa acts.” Wang Reiji bit her lips, seemingly anxious. Perhaps, her brother was right after all.
“Do not fret, boss. Team Alpha is on the way. They will be escorting Europa and the twins to their room.” Hanzo sensed Wang Reiji’s worry so he immediately offered a possible solution he had thought of.
“That’s not a bad idea. But it’s not the best option either. If you send in a security team, people will assume that Europa is a daughter of a big shot. I don’t want any unwanted attention on her. Just tell the Alpha team to secure the premises instead and make sure that no stranger can get near my daughter.”
“Roger on that, boss.” Hanzo said as he passed on Wang Reiji’s message to the members of the Alpha team.
“Thank you. Anyway, change of plans. My daughter’s safety comes first. The mission will be put on hold for a while. We will resume once my daughter’s safety is guaranteed. Rentao, try to get near my brother and inform him of the current situation. But remember to stay low key, okay?” Wang Reiji said in a calm but stern voice.
“Hanzo, you know what to do, right?” She then quickly asked.
“Of course, boss!” Hanzo answered swiftly. Actually, he already started covering Wang Reiji’s tracks in all CCTV monitors, erasing her presence and making her completely invisible.
“Thanks, boys. I owe you both big time.” Wang Reiji happily said, seemingly pleased of her personal elite team.

“Hmmm… Okay. Let’s feed Misha first. I will accompany you to your room if you don’t mind, Europa.” Qin Sho had really fallen for Europa’s charm. But to ensure the little heiress’ safety he decided to go with her and the twins.
“Hooray! Thanks, Uncle Sho!” Europa’s eyes shone with happiness upon hearing Qin Sho’s answer.
“Oh no! I think that is not a good idea, bro. We still need Yuvin’s permission. Wait, I will search for him. We must let him know first before doing any move.” Qin Rong who was scolded by Yuvin earlier did not want to repeat the same mistake again.
“Sweetie, let us wait for your uncle, okay? He might really get mad at me this time.” Qin Rong then turned to the little girl and spoke gently.
“I understand, Uncle Rong. I will wait for my Uncle Yuvin’s permission first. And I don’t want to put you or anyone in Uncle Yuvin’s bad side. I do not want the people who are dear to me to get mad at each other.” Europa sounded sad. She recalled how Wang Yuvin got mad earlier. She then became silent, thus causing everyone to become worried of her.
“Do not worry, young one. We won’t get mad at each other that easy. Misunderstandings cannot be avoided, but we will make sure to quickly patch things up.” Chairman Qin said softly as he removed his mask, dampening the situation to ease the little girl’s worry.
“Grandfather Luo…” Seeing the tender look on the Chairman’s face, Europa’s heart was immediately put at ease.
“It is decided then.Uncle Rong will find your Uncle Yuvin first before you are allowed to go anywhere else, okay?” Qin Sho said as he removed his mask as well to show the little girl that he was not mad or bothered at all.
“Yes, Uncle Sho!” Europa’s countenance became bright again as her sweet smile returned.
“I better be going to look for him now. We cannot let Misha to starve!”Qin Rong briskly stood up from his seat and started to scan the hall, hoping to spot Wang Yuvin’s figure right away.
“How about we bring Misha lots of delicious food, young miss?” Ai suggested.
“And let’s bring her warm milk too! Oh! Let us ask the guy over there to go fetch us a bottle of warm milk for Misha.” Bai voiced out her idea as well.
“Yay! Misha will surely enjoy her meal tonight!” Thanks to their warmth and concern, Europa became lively again.
Rentao who was low key observing and eavesdropping at them felt relief as he looked forward to share the good news to his boss.He was about to give Wang Reiji an update but Chairman Qin called his attention and gestured him to come closer to their table. Rentao had to postpone his plan for a while to attend to the requests of table 10 occupants.
“How can I be of service to you, our dear guests?” Rentao politely asked, slightly changing his accent.
“Can you serve please serve us a bottle of warm milk? Also, do you have any food that can be eaten by a cat as well?” Chairman Qin answered.
“Is the bottle of warm milk for the cat as well?” Despite of what he heard, Rentao chose to play dumb and still asked a question the he already knew the answer.
“Yes, please! It is for my pet cat, Misha!” Europa exclaimed as she stood up and walked towards Rentao.
“Oi, Rentao. What is happening over there?” Wang Reiji reacted upon hearing her daughter’s excited voice from the mic of Rentao’s communication device.
Unfortunately for Rentao, he cannot answer Wang Reiji’s question for he was standing between Chairman Qin and Europa.
“This servant understands. Aside from the cat’s needs, what are your other orders, Sir?”
“As for myself, I would like to have some Gyokuro tea, please. How about you, Europa? What would you like to drink, young one?” After asking Rentao for his favorite flavor of tea, Chairman Qin turned his head to Europa and asked for her request.
“Can I have Vanilla Creme infused with apples, Sir?” Europa smiled sweetly at Rentao, showing her perfect set of pearly white baby teeth.
“My daughter is really in love with vanilla and apples. Just like the one who must not be named.” Wang Reiji’s tone seemed disappointed. However, she still she continued to keep moving until she reached her target destination. Since she had a copy of her own hotel’s blueprint and list of occupied rooms, she knew exactly which rooms were still vacant. Also, she had a master key that can unlock any room in her hotel.
“Rentao, once you are away from them, give me an update right away.” Wang Reiji finally said as she tapped the key card and went inside an unused room.
