"Lio, my name is Miss Lio. Miss should still remember me. I'm the one who bought your work for 1000 coins."
Gania took a deep breath, it was indeed true, Gania did remember who she was. This person was the one who had sung at Lingling's wedding. He also bought Gania's work for 1000 coins. But Gania's question wasn't for that. He wondered what Lio Lio was doing in Mr. Thom's house. Is he going to buy another Gania painting? That's what's on Gania's mind.
"I know who you are, I wonder why you're here?"
The person named Lio raised both eyebrows. Lio did not have time to answer Gania's question, Mr. Thom approached the two of them.
"He's your new bodyguard, Gania. Later besides Izako, Lio will accompany you to go anywhere."
Of course Gania was shocked to hear Mr. Thom's statement. How could Lio be his bodyguard? This man was even more deserving of being a singer than a bodyguard. His body was also clearly not as stocky and convincing as Izako.
"Seriously?" Gania asked with a surprised face.
"Yes Gania. Peter found a new bodyguard for you. I asked for his help. From the results of the test that Peter did, Lio who managed to escape. Don't be fooled by a body that isn't a fighter. He could almost defeat the strong bodyguards in this house. Well, one more thing. Lio is also an art lover, maybe you can also get a discussion friend. Oh yeah, you must be wondering why Lio wants to be a bodyguard. He said he needed money, money ran out to buy your painting. Well, I said right? The buyer of your painting must be sorry. If Lio hadn't bought your painting, he probably wouldn't be tired of working as a bodyguard."
Gania's face turned sour. He felt indirectly Mr. Thom had insulted his work. He also did not believe that Lio had run out of money just to be able to buy his work. According to Gania, with a handsome face Lio is better to be a model than a bodyguard. Actually Gania is no stranger if there are people who can run out of a lot of money in just a short time. After all this is Hong Kong, anyone can get rich suddenly and anyone can also fall poor instantly and have to work.
"Mr Thom, let me test the abilities of my potential partner." Izako pleads.
Mr. Thom just nodded his head in agreement. However, Lio will be Izako's partner in work, so Izako must be confident with this partner. If Izako alone wasn't sure of Lio how could they work well together to look after Gania? Izako advanced towards Lio, Lio seemed to be preparing for the attack from Izako.
Izako started her attack with a kick towards Lio's shoulder. The kick was able to be fended off by Lio. Punch after punch was immediately given by Izako, seeming Lio quite overwhelmed and unable to counter attack. Currently Lio was only trying to dodge Izako's attack. In the matter of the punch movement, Izako's hand was indeed very fast. Even compared to his shooting skills, Izako's hand punch skills are superior. Gania looked at the fight between Izako and Lio while eating a snack of potato chips and sitting on the sofa. Exclamation also turned out to see two bodyguards fighting each other's strength. Grandpa Hong who had just passed by, suddenly turned around and sat down beside Gania. He was also curious about the duel of these two bodyguards. Every now and then Grandpa Hong's hand went into a pack of Gania potato chips, his mouth was busy chewing.
At the beginning Lio did seem overwhelmed, but the longer the movement was able to keep up with Izako. Even at this moment Lio dared to give a counterattack to Izako. Unfortunately, the counterattack has not been able to make Izako surrender. Both movements are getting faster and more exciting to follow. Several times Lio jumped while kicking towards Izako. The game gets more exciting, Izako attacks Lio's legs. Instantly Lio slammed onto the floor of the house, falling in surrender.
"You okay Lio?" ask Mr. Thom.
Lio smiled, he got up from the floor, holding his right thigh. It seemed that part was very sick and made Lio fall to the floor. Izako seemed a little disappointed by Lio's resistance, for her the resistance was still lacking. He needs a really reliable partner, which even makes him not afraid of having to leave Gania to him.
"I'm sorry, sir. I forgot to say that my right thigh still hurts."
Hearing Lio's words, Mr. Thom was curious. He certainly does not want if the bodyguard Gania sickly.
"Why your right thigh?" ask Mr. Thom.
"Someone hurt him, sir."
"With what?", continued Mr. Thom.
"Gun", Lio answered briefly.
"I hope your wounds heal quickly. From tomorrow you can start working. I believe in Peter. Peter must have been looking for the best man for Gania. Right now I trust Peter for anything."
That compliment made Peter's face cringe. This middle-aged man was indeed extraordinary. He can be relied upon in any case by Mr. Thom. After Ahmad Tuah, Peter was a trusted confidant of Mr. Thom.
That day also Gania legitimately had two bodyguards, one Izako and the other Lio. Izako is an Asian-faced man and actually resembles a Japanese. But according to the story Izako herself is not pure Japanese. Her father is a mixed Korean Japanese and her mother is native Hong Kong. Izako is 30 years old. He is still single until now. Izako, like Mr. Thom, is not used to women. Izako prefers to be cold, she only laughs and talks occasionally to Gania. In the affairs of martial Izako is reliable but in the affairs of art or other, different stories again.
The first meeting of Izako and Gania was exactly 8 years ago, when Gania first set foot in the house of Mr. Thom. At that time Izako was just an ordinary bodyguard in the house of Mr. Thom. There are a lot of bodyguards in the house. Some bodyguards are used to escort Mr. Thom's businesses. Some of it is to escort Mr. Thom himself. The first time she met Izako, Gania felt like there was a match between herself and Izako. Whatever the cause, every time he was with Izako, he felt protected. There is a unique and funny story why Izako was chosen as the bodyguard of Gania so far. This funny story is certainly still remembered by both Gania and Izako. The two seemed destined to be together and complement each other. One is to be well taken care of and the other is to take care of with all your heart.
