Lucci merely closes his eyes and lets out a heavy sigh.
"That's enough from both of you. Mary. Control yourself. Bleu. Remind yourself that you're no longer in the midst of belligerent, drunk criminals. You're in service of the Celestial Dragons. Have some dignity. Now instead of responding with aggression let me finish what I tried to say. After carefully reading through your reports several times I believe you've made an excellent job analyzing all of them, except Cavalier. You grossly misunderstood him and unless we alter the plan accordingly it will all crash and burn, which will further undermine the reputation of Cipher Pol."
"Do not lecture me Rob Lucci! After your spectacular defeat at his hands your opinion carries little weight around here!"
"True. My reputation was ruined. Most of my comrades were killed. Years of preparation for nothing. But it's thank to that humiliating defeat that I managed to understand Cavalier deeply. All that introspection came in useful. And though I only engaged him briefly it's evident that it still afforded me far greater insight than the weeks you spent in his company. What you described in there will not be what happens. At all."
Luccis words carried seemingly no malice, which terrified Bleu. If he's indeed genuine and not just saying that to make sure others fail where he did then that would be disastrous.
"But what I don't understand is why did you so hastily abandon your post? Based on all your other observations you were close to creating a perfect profile and a plan to take him down. Why stop prematurely?"
She smirked.
"Tch. You know Lucci I almost fell for it for a second there! Miscalculated? Prematurely? Failure? Don't kid yourself! I am not like you! So stop projecting your own failures onto me! I successfully manipulated Cavalier into cracking the most secure non-government owned prison and recovered a failed agent! I infiltrated Outer Heaven and the Silver Pirates! Nobody has done HALF the things I did! And once I deliver not just Cavaliers head but Outer Heaven and all the slaves to the Celestial Dragons my first order of business as head of CP0 will be to purge it of failures like yourself! Honhonhon! Now if you'll excuse me I got the future of the world to ensure! Ciao!"
As Bleu left Mary looked at Lucci.
"She must've suffered brain damage. What makes her think anyone will give a shit about her? Aegis Zero is a tool. Does she think the dragons will thank their tool for a job she's meant to do? Well whatever. Once she's alone I'll teach her a lesson on going after MY prey! And don't even try to stop me! HEY! Are you listening to me Lu...ci..."
Mary was mortified. Lucci was smiling. Not just smiling but full on giggling to himself.
"Oh I see! So that's it! This is even better than I thought!"
