Lara Steele: smirking, arms crossed Youuuu seeee this place??? 10 biiillion, baby!!! All spent 'cause of ME!!!
Wow, your country must really love you.
Love me? No way! They love their asses saved by my charm! And they paid up! I'm Lara Steele, after all!
Haha, well I hope you got your money’s worth out of the deal.
Oh, you have no idea! They thought they could just throw some cash at me and be done with it? amateurs! But you wanna know something crazy?
What’s even crazier than spending 10 billion on a human?
Oh, you ain't seen nothing yet! After they blew their wad on me, I told them exactly what I thought of their pathetic attempts to impress me.
So, you insulted a whole nation’s military after they spent 10 billion dollars on you?
Insulted? That's putting it lightly! I ripped them a new one! They thought they could buy my loyalty? How naive! But I showed 'em what real loyalty looks like.
This isn’t even the craziest thing you’ve done right?
Oh, you have no idea! Before this little escapade, I had them eat their own worst nightmares! I led them into a war they couldn't win, just to show 'em who's boss!
A war?! So, this is what you do now, try to start wars just to prove a point?
Wars? What are wars? Just a game to me! I'm Lara Steele, the ultimate strategist! I don't need an army to win, just my sharp mind and a few well-placed words!
And they listened to you? Who are you anyway?
They listened? Oh, you bet they did! They were eating out of my hand, begging for my approval!
Simple, really. See, I'm not just any ordinary girl. I'm Lara Steele, the queen of Latin American strategery - and don't you forget it!!
That doesn’t ring any bells. What’s your background? How did you become so “strategery” skilled?
My background? Let me tell you, it's a story of power, prestige, and a whole lot of sass!
Go ahead then, elaborate.
Alright, buckle up, amiga! It all started with my humble beginnings in the big city, where I grew up surrounded by street fights and back alley dealings.
Does that explain the 10 billion dollar budget?
Well, if you must know, let me preface by saying I had to work my butt off to get where I am today.
How did you work your butt off?
I did whatever it took to make ends meet, babe! I worked multiple jobs, from waitressing to working at a warehouse. And let me tell you, those were some gritty places!
What does that have to do with the military budget though?
You see, while I was struggling to make a name for myself, I also had this little side hustle of providing "security services" to local businesses.
Security services? Protection racket?
Hey now, don't go calling my line of work by its old name! I prefer to think of it as "conflict resolution." But hey, whatever you wanna call it, the point is I got good at it. Real good.
