Zakk nods. "Well, ready to go?" He said to Connor. "Now, don't you dare lie to me. I'm only trusting you, just this once, okay? If you jump out of my car again, I swear..."
He couldn't think of anything and just walked out of the meeting room with Connor.

Now that Connor and Zakk got out of the room, Roland was finally the last one to stay with Lee Chaolan. He just waited them to be far enough to be sure he will not be listened.
He then walked to Lee and said :
"As you see the mission was sucessful, and more important, Connor didn't met with Kazuya as you wanted. I then expect my payment in accordance with what we decided. The bank account stay the same. always a pleasure to make buisness with you Mr Chaolan."
He sent another look in direction of the door, again to be sure nobody else would listen to him.
"So, the boys are going to Antartica um ? You know that, if you want my skills to help and if you are ready to put the price, I could be really useful. Otherwise, I could consider myslef as free for any opportunity with "anyone". As an experienced chairman you should know that buisness is buisness right ?"
Originally, Roland wanted to take some vacation with the money he would have won with this last mission. But the group he helped escape was something of funny, and this story in Antartica won his curiosity. But as always, Roland would go to what is better for him. If Lee would'nt pay enough, he would be ready to ask to the G-Corp and their bank account.

“It’s mister Lee. Many people always confuse my family name with my first name… and half of the time I do not correct them, I can understand the confusion… But whatever, yes, your payment will be done right now.”
Lee took his own laptop and transferred the money into Roland’s account.
“It’s done.”
He looked at Roland and told him: “Honestly I’m not certain about Antarctica… We’ll have to see more into this before organizing that next mission and make sure we have some real reason to go there… I mean it's not just next door.”
Lee knew what Roland meant, Roland was a true mercenary, loyal to the contract, not the employer yet he would do his job to the end until he gets a new contract… from anyone paying well…
“Just don’t go with ‘anyone’ already, we’ll see what is decided in the next few days and if your services are required then, mister Lenoir… Just take some rest for now.”

Immediately after that, Roland checked his smartphone, and indeed saw the notification about a huge amount of money incoming in his account. Even though he is used to that, he always have this happiness feeling where he see that.
"Excuse my mistake than, and thank you for the payment, Mister Lee"
He then listened to Lee telling him about not being sure for the next mission, and that he will have to wait some days before contacting him again. The french mercenary then answered :
"No problem, take your time. I'll be in town to get some distractions. You know how to contact me. "
Roland walked through the meeting room. He indeed planned to take two or more days to have fun with thanks to this new hard-won money : One or two night in luxurious clubs, with some strong beverages and sexy girls. After what he would take time to recover a potential hungover and go back in action. Either Lee would had contacted him : He would not stay in town by next week.
Before leaving the room , he added smiling :
"I have the intuition that our path will cross again Mister Lee. In a way or another..."

Anna was escorted to the meeting room by Lei. When she saw Nina, she actually smiled. "Thank goodness..." She paused. "Thank goodness that Lee was here to save my ass since you didn't tell anyone I was coming here!" She looked around, "Where is Lillian? We're going to need all hands on deck for this one..." She said crossing her arms. Anna spotted Narcissus across the room, sitting in a chair. He looked even worse. "...What happened to him..?" She asked.

"Anna... I'm sorry... She's dead." Nina struggled to tell Anna because she knew that they were both really like close.
"Aunt Diana turned James into a robot, and was working on doing the same thing to Lillian. And she was going to do the same with me."
When Anna asked about Narcissus, Nina could say, "He lost his mother..."

When they entered, Lee politely nodded to Nina
"Hello Nina."
He then noticed a man that he didn't know. He also nodded to him but he was certain that in the state that this man seemed, he didn't notice the salutation. That man seems devastated... Lee waited for Nina's answer to Anna's question. When he heard it, he felt really bad. He knew only slightly that sister but she seemed very sympathetic... Yet he mostly worried about Anna and put his arm around her to try to comfort her. So that was also why that young man was so sad...

Anna's eyes widened, hearing Nina's words. "...Dead...?" She immediately pulled herself from Lee when he tried to put his arm around her. "What do you mean she's dead...?!" Anna went to slap Nina, "YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BRING HER BACK!" Anna started throwing weak slaps at her sister, "YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BRING HER BACK ALIVE!" Anna pulled herself back, holding her head in her hands. "I'm gonna kill her.... Screw waiting... I'M GONNA KILL HER!" Anna screamed.
Narcissus walked up to her, staring at her with his dead eyes. "...Your emotional attachment will get you killed.... Calm down." He said, quietly. "I AM CALM!" Anna screamed at him. Narcissus' eyes began to well up with crocodile tears as his bottom lip stiffened. "...Please calm down...." He said, doing his best to hold it together. Anna stared at the boy. She pulled him into a tight hug. "I don't know you... But I'm sorry..." She said. She looked at Nina, "...What do you mean she's turned Jay into a robot?!" Anna then realized... "Oh my god.... She's said she was going to turn us into the monsters that mother was to create..." Anna looked at Lee, "WE are the weapons she's making!"

Nina took the brunt of the slaps, just letting Anna slap her. After all, she's the one who was always slapping Anna around.
She took several steps back as she tried to give Anna some space.
"We can't go out and kill her now! We need a plan!"
Oh my god.... She's said she was going to turn us into the monsters that mother was to create... WE are the weapons she's making!"
"This all makes sense now."

Lee let go of Anna when she pulled herself from him and didn’t insist. He felt sad for the news and for seeing all this poor family losing someone dear to them and mostly for Anna, who was actually suffering so much again… When Anna turned to him and told him about the weapons being them, he couldn’t reply anything but show surprise and horror at the idea; Anna was perfectly right… It was the plan…
But Nina was also right, they couldn't act on emotions. He really didn't want Anna to go on a mission now while she was so emotionally hurt... He told Anna: "Yes, we need to sit and think about the plan. Or else they will take advantage of careless rushing from our part."

Anna pursed her lips, thinking. "We stick with the original plan. I set up a meeting with Kazuya, and Kazuya alone. We need to make sure she isn't there when we do this..." Her heart pounded. "After I'm done, I can find a keycard to get where I need to go." She looked at Nina, "Like I said... I can move around unnoticed."
She sighed, "I'm going to go shower, now..." She said. "Lee, you can take me to my room..." She stated, with a sad tone to her voice.

Nina nods. "Yes. But I am a little worried about Aunt Diana. Hopefully, this works and we get to save Katya."
Nina was hoping to take out Diana herself. "Meanwhile, I will go sabotage her weapons."

"Anyway you both need to see Jin before starting the plan", says Lee as he presented his arm to Anna to take her to her suite. He then told her: "I'll go look for your son and nephew and I'll bring them to the suite."
Lee hoped that Anna would get a bit of rest with her shower... She will probably take the occasion to be alone and cry... Not exactly the rest he would hope she gets but it probably somehow would help... He then addressed Narcissus: "You should also get a place to rest. Nina, can you show him a room, please?"
