Tony  seemed to sense Dave’s uncertainty from the change in thetter’s countenance. Thus, he stated sincerely, “Alpha  Dave, I’m not pulling your leg. I’m serious about it.”


    He ims he’s not pulling my leg, but should I take his words seriously?


    Even though Dave was impressed with Tony ‘s eloquence moments ago, he could not help but feel that the boy was building castles in the air.


    “Tony , don’t you think you’re overly optimistic? It is easier said than done. Things might not be as simple as how you think!” Dave refuted warily.


    “Alpha  Dave, you think that I’m bragging, don’t you?” Tony  retorted. He could sense the unmissable hint of doubt in Dave’s tone and countenance.


    Thetter did not utter any words. Evidently, Tony  made the right spection.


    With that, Tony  added, “However, I’m not bragging. I mean it, and I have a n in mind!” Puzzled, Dave stared at him. “n? What kind of n?”


    After pondering for a while, Tony  leaned closer and whispered something to him. Momentster, Dave furrowed his brows and looked at him in sheer disbelief.


    “I’m fully aware that my n might not work perfectly. However, I’m convinced it can at least disrupt Boss’ scheme. Most importantly, we must give our all to save Daddy and Nelly . In my opinion, we can give it a try!”


    “Have you thought about how you could mobilize the others?” Dave asked quizzically. “Alpha  Dave, don’t you know that money can do magic?” Tony  asked.


    Dave narrowed his eyes as he fixed his gaze on Tony .


    “I believe that someone will be willing to do so. In fact, there will be quite a number!” Tony  replied


    confidently. After all, nobody could survive without money. The majority of people were desirous of authority and wealth. Hence, he was sure as hell that someone would do so willingly as long as they were well paid.


    Dave continued to stare at Tony  with narrowed eyes. He was impressed with the boy’s intelligence a while ago, and now he was even fully convinced by his words at the moment. Regardless of whether things would turn out as expected, Dave had to admit that Tony  had a point.


    As mentioned earlier by Tony , the unique advantage is the key to sess. None of us possesses it but him!


    Dave could not fathom why Tony  had such a sense of superiority and conviction. Notwithstanding, at the sight of thetter’s utter confidence, he believed in him uncontrobly. At the same time, his curiosity about the boy was piqued as time went by.


    After much contemtion, Dave looked at him. “Is there anything that you need me to do?”


    “I’ll start making the necessary arrangements. Alpha  Dave, I’ll let you know if I need your help at any time,” Tony  responded courteously.


    Hearing that, Dave nodded. “Okay!”


    Tony  finally stered a smile on his face after Dave agreed. “Alpha  Dave, my daddy is blessed to have such a wonderful friend like you.”


    Thetter’s lips lifted into a smile as he was pleased with Tony ‘spliment. “Remember to repeat this statement to your daddy. I reckon he needs his close ones to enlighten him on that. Otherwise, he’ll keep thinking that I owe him a lot.”


    Tony ‘s lips curled up. “Okay! I’ll surely tell him that after we manage to save Nelly .” Dave smiled pleasantly.


    “It’s gettingte, and I have to go back to my room first. Alpha  Dave, good night.” “Good night!”


    The next moment, Tony  headed upstairs.


    Seated on the couch, Dave gazed at Tony ‘s retreating figure with inexplicit emotion. He had a hunch thetter would have a bright future beyond imagination if his n turned out sessful.


    At that very moment, he could not help but mock himself. No doubt, we are iparable to the highlypetent young ones!


    Once Tony  was back in his room, he turned on theptop and essed Hacker Community.


    After contemting for a while, he finally decided to post a bounty list with Boss’ information, offering a bounty of at least a hundred million.


    On top of that, he did not limit the number of people joining. In other words, the hackers could work in groups, and the reward would be calcted based on the number of people who joined. It could vary ording to Boss’ condition after they aplished their mission. Nevertheless, Tony  assured them that the minimum amount paid to them would be one hundred million regardless of whether Boss was captured alive, severely injured, or offed.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    After going through what he had typed, Tony  pressed a button to post it right away.


    He had intentionally chosen a time when most hackers actively essed the site. The moment his bounty list was posted, it created an uproar.


    Not to mention, he posted it in the name of Anonymous, who had been lying low. Furthermore, nobody else had evere up with such a bounty list after Shadow Seeker’s previous post. Hence, it whipped the other hackers up instantly, and they started gossiping fervently.


    Undeniably, Shadow Seeker’s post to track down Midnight fang pack  was followed by Anonymous’ to capture Boss. Subsequently, the others could not refrain from suspecting that Anonymous had done that solely for Shadow Seeker.


    It was known to everyone in the hacking world that Anonymous had been ttering Shadow Seeker. Nevertheless, Shadow Seeker had never responded so far. Inevitably, they sensed some changes after the duo’s previous intensepetition.


    Everyone in Hacker Community was open-minded and did not mind much, even if any among them was homoromantic. Many were only worried about the invincible team formed once Shadow Seeker and Anonymous were in a rtionship. With that, the duo would be ranked the top in the hacking world. By then, everyone else would be no match for them.


    At that very moment, Tony ‘s phone rang. It turned out to be a call from Sam . He hesitated for a while before answering it.


    “Hello.”


    Just as Sam  was about to say something, he was stunned when a kid’s voice sounded from the other end of the line. “What happened to your voice?”


    “Why? You don’t like it?”


    “Good gracious! Why are you using a voice changer?” Tony  was utterly speechless.


    Hmph! Now that I’m thinking of revealing my true identity when liaising with him, he doesn’t believe me!


    “What is it? Cut to the chase,” Tony  urged him without making any exnation.


    His words reminded Sam  of something. “How could you still have the cheek to say so? Why did you post the bounty list on Hacker Community?”


    “You saw it?” Tony  drawled.


    Sam  took a deep breath. “How can I overlook such an eye-catching post?”


    “Since you’d seen it, what’s the point of asking me again?” Tony  snapped. “You-I want to ask what you intend to do.” Sam  finally went straight to the point.


    “Didn’t you see that? I’m trying to track down Boss!” Tony  hissed with intense abhorrence in his tone.


    Sam  could not sense that on the other end of the line. He said, “Midnight fang pack  has nothing to do with us. Don’t you think you’ll only put yourself in deep water by acting impulsively?”


    Tony  lowered his voice. “There’s nothing between Darz and him, but there is something between him and me!”


    Sam  frowned. “What do you mean?”


    Tony  did not utter any words. There was a hint of hostility in his eyes.


    Dumbstruck, Sam  only asked hesitantly after a while, “Did they inflict any harm on you?”


    After remaining silent for a while, Tony  lowered his voice and enunciated, “They didn’ty a finger on me but targeted someone who is the most important to me instead!”


    In a split second, realization dawned on Sam . After remaining silent for a while, he asked, “So that was why you went to Forbidden forest ?”


    Without hesitation, Tony  answered, “Yes!”


    “I got it!” Sam  blurted out.


    “No! You don’t understand! Apart from tracking him down and offing him, I vow to eliminate Midnight fang pack !” Tony  stated resolutely. His childlike voice was not loud, but Sam  could sense the intense fury in his tone.


    “Tony -”


    “Don’t try to stop me if you treat me as your friend!” Tony  cut him off.


    “I’m not trying to stop you. It’s a rule that Darz should never step on anyone’s toes, but it doesn’t mean we are scaredy-cats. If he has the gall to provoke you, the whole Darz won’t let him off!” Sam  emphasized solemnly.


    bbergasted, Tony  asked tactfully, “Aren’t you angry?” “Of course, I’m still mad at you!” Sam  snorted.


    “Then why did you-”


    “I’m mad because you didn’t mention a single word about this matter!”


    Tony  was rendered speechless. He was caught off guard by the sudden change in Sam ‘s demeanor. “Is that the reason you have been stopping me from looking for you?” Sam  asked again.


    “No. That’s not the sole reason…”


    However, Sam  assumed his instinct was right and tried to appease Tony .


    “Tony , I admit that I had been standing in your way before this as I did not wish to see you end up being chastised by the others. However, things will be different if they have gotten on your nerves first. Heed my words. Darz is fearless. If they dare to provoke you, they are actually going against the whole Darz too. Just hang on. I’ll meet you right after resolving Holden’s matter. Let’s discuss this in detailter!”


    “It’s all right-”


    “Enough of that! There’s no need for formality now. Wait for me, okay?” “But-”


    “All right. I have a call from Holden. Just wait for my call.” With that, he hung up on Tony .


    Looking at his phone, Tony  could not help but let out a resigned sigh.


    He knew he would have to meet Sam  in person sooner orter. Thus, he had been looking for ideal timing. But when will be the right time?


    Nevertheless, no matter how he racked his brain, he did not have any conclusion. Forget about it. I’ll just go with the flow then.


    At the thought, Tony  caught a glimpse of the increasing number of the names registered in the bounty list disyed on theptop screen. He lowered his gaze and posted a contact detail before closing theptop.


    The following morning, Tony  overslept as he went to bed muchter than usual the previous night. Subsequently, Ben  had to wake him up.


    “Tony  Jackson , wake up!”


    Sensing someone was shaking him, Tony  finally opened his eyes and stared groggily at Ben . “What’s the matter with you?”


    He rolled over and nned to sleep again.


    “How could you still sleep at this hour?” Ben  yelled behind him. “What’s the time now?” Tony  mumbled.


    “Ten o’clock! The clock has already struck ten!”


    Just as Tony  was about to drift off to sleep with his eyes closed again, he opened his eyes abruptly and sat on the bed. “What did you say?”


    Ben  let out a sigh as he stared at Tony . At the same time, thetter took the watch from the table to have a look. “Good gracious! It’s ten o’clock now…”


    Tony  looked dazed as he sat on the bed. It was as though he was deep in thought.


    Meanwhile, Ben  teased him, “Ha! Even though you don’t look like Nelly , you’re obviously a sleepyhead like her…”


    “Are you sure I don’t look like Nelly ? Don’t you know what recessive genes are? Undeniably, I still bear a resemnce to her!” At that moment, Tony  came to his senses and rolled over to get out of bed.


    Next, he got changed swiftly before striding out of the room.
