    This also meant that they would soon discover that she had traced their IP.


    It would be too difficult to catch someone based on the address that was all the way on the other side


    of the ocean, so Hesper didn’t n to catch them with this trick. She just wanted to taunt them and


    show them that she wasn’t predictable.


    Since she was in the light and they were in the dark, all they could do was y little garnes.


    That being said, Hesper still sent someone to the location to see if they could find any valuable clues


    There was a lot to prepare for the new year countdown at the Lane household. Arthur loved to be


    surrounded by people Maybe he wished that he had his family around him at his age, so Matthew was


    back early


    Hesper had been busy with all kinds of work previously, so now that she had some free time, she didn’t


    know what to do. She went to the kitchen to learn how to cook.


    Everyone knew that Hesper was a good cook, but there were a lot of dishes from Emperion that she


    never heard of before, so they were new to her,


    “If you knead it gently it will be crispierter.”


    Okay, like this?”


    When Matthew walked into the kitchen, he saw Hesper learning how to make cookies from the cook.


    There was some flour on her face, which neither of them noticed.


    Hesper probably scratched it because it was itchy, and now the flour stuck to her face, making a white

    patch. Matthew chuckled.


    Hesper looked up while holding a b of dough. She ced it down when she saw him. “You’re back.”


    “Yup. Grandpa said that you’re cooking, so we’re going to have delicious foodter.”


    A little shy, Hesper started scratching her face again. However, then she noticed the flour on her. hand


    and stopped. She felt more awkward after hearing what Matthew said.


    “I’ve learned for more than half an hour and I still don’t know how to make this well enough… If we rely


    on me to cook, everyone will die of hunger.” Hesper shook her head. Matthew walked over and wiped


    the flour off her face.


    The cook was enjoying watching them. She was an old cook there, so she wasn’t shy to speak. You’re


    really talented. This is something that takes years to learn.”


    Hesper turned around and looked happy. “Oh, I just knew that there was nothing I couldn’t make.”


    “Sure.” Matthew leaned against the wall and watched the cook knead the dough. Hesper gave up and


    started cooking something else. They looked like a happy family.


    Fireworks were banned in Emperion, but since it was the countdown, a lot of people did it illegally. The


    Lanes prepared some sparklers. It was a tradition they had. Hesper lit one up on her balcony and


    watched the me burn in the night air.


    No one interrupted her, so Hesper lit another and listened to the fireworks going off. It sounded


    calm.


    Suddenly, fireworks went off in the sky a stone’s throw away, but it was a small and sad one that didn’t


    go much higher than their walls.


    Hesper quietly watched. Even though it was a small one, it was beautiful. There were different colors


    and patterns that went off quietly in the night sky. Silent but beautiful.


    Nobody noticed that these small fireworks were going off in front of her window. When the final one


    went off, Hesper stood up and walked over to the wall. The winter night was usually cold and silent.


    “Who are you?”
