Give and Take

The moment Marco mentioned Mo Lihua's father, he expected the smile on her face to disappear, but that did not happen. Instead, her smile widens further that made him frown in confusion.

Nevertheless, Marco continued to speak. "It is essential that you have someone to help you. You cannot count Piore as your personal help, especially during the Selection. He would be a neutral party at that time." 

"There are a lot of things that needed to be done aside from you trying to save your father. I also heard that those who abducted him also hurt some people that are close to the Mo family. It would be less than a month before the Selection will officially take place. With that, I could guarantee that other people might still get involved and harmed because of you." Marco continued.
