Chapter 318


    When that was brought up, Boss'' expression changed slightly. The look in his eyes grew colder.


    The man continued, “Boss, we still have two shipments. Once the transit ispleted, you can do


    whatever you want. However, if the shipments arepromised, we''ll all die!”


    He didn''t want to admit it, but that was the truth.


    Boss frowned. Of course, he didn''t feel great that he had to give up.


    “Boss...”


    “I know!” Boss cut the man off. His yellow pupils were directed at the man, his eyes filled with hostility.


    “Then let the matter go first. We''ll wait until the shipment''s transferred before making our next move.”


    That put the man''s worries to rest. “Yes, Boss!”


    “Go and make the necessary calls!”


    The man nodded before leaving the room.


    With that, Boss was the only person left in the room. He put away his army knife and headed to the


    balcony. As he stared outside, the hostility in his eyes remained. After a while, he muttered, “One day,


    I''ll kill you with my own hands!”


    Terence, Natasha, and the triplets stayed at the Hamilton residence until it was prettyte into the night


    before they returned home.


    Because they were about to move, the triplets had to go back to pack their things.


    Just as they reached home, Natasha''s phone rang. She nced at the phone and said, “It''s getting


    The triplets nodded.


    “I''ll go back to my room to rest now, Grandpa!” she informed.


    Terence nodded. “Okay, rest early!”


    With that, she returned to her room.


    It was then he turned to the triplets. “It''s gettingte, so you three should return to your rooms now and


    rest early! The packing can wait.”


    “Okay! Goodnight, Gramps!”


    “Goodnight!”


    The children strolled back to their own rooms.


    Before Terence returned to his room to rest, he quickly packed his things up.


    Inside Natasha''s room, exhaustion was written all over her face as she approached her desk and


    turned on theputer.


    Kyle: You''re fast.


    Shadow Seeker: You got news?


    Kyle: Mm-hmm!


    Shadow Seeker: What news?


    Kyle: Can''t I chat a little bit before getting into the main topic?


    Shadow Seeker: A man shouldn''t bber.


    Kyle: Oh...


    Shadow Seeker: So, what''s the news?


    Kyle: I''m now certain the tattoo you''re looking for is one that''s only granted to members of Vermillion


    Base.


    Shadow Seeker: I''ve seen their tattoo before. It''s simr to the image, but it''s not the same.


    Kyle: That''s because the leader of Vermillion Base has changed. It''s why the tattoos are different.


    Shadow Seeker: So you''re saying the tattoos change when the leader is reced?


    Kyle: Yes.


    Natasha narrowed her eyes. I see.


    Kyle: Whatever information you''re looking for, you''ll probably find some answers if you question the


    people who have that tattoo.


    In other words, she finally knew where to look.


    As long as she found someone who shared the same tattoo as her father, she might learn the truth.


    Shadow Seeker: Got it. Thank you.


    Kyle: You''re wee.


    Shadow Seeker: If there''s nothing else, I''ll be leaving now.


    Kyle: Wait.


    Shadow Seeker: What''s the matter?


    Kyle: You promised me I could ask for three things. I''ve thought about the first thing I want.


    Shadow Seeker: Shoot.


    Kyle: Someone in Darz wants to learn from you...


    Shadow Seeker: Sure.


    Kyle didn''t expect her to agree so readily, which was why it made him excited.


    Kyle: Wait a second. I''ll ask him toe online.


    Shadow Seeker: Okay.


    Soon, he left to summon Anthony.


    Anthony was about to lie down when he saw an emergency call.


    The emergency call was a system in Darz. It was used only when there was an emergency.


    He swiftly went online when he saw that.


    Anthony: What''s wrong? What happened?


    Kyle: I''ve sent it to you. Come quickly.


    Anthony: To do what?


    Kyle: Someone''s challenging you.


    When Anthony heard that, he went online with suspicion.


    The moment he logged in and saw Shadow Seeker, he was stunned.


    It was then he recalled Kyle mentioned Shadow Seeker agreed to fulfill three requests, the first one


    being a challenge between him and Shadow Seeker.


    He wasn''t sure he could put up a good fight.


    Kyle: What do you think? Are you surprised? Happy?


    Anthony was speechless. Can I still go offline at this point?


    Kyle: No need to thank me!


    Anthony typed his message with fury: Scram!


    Kyle didn''t mind and went back to talk with Shadow Seeker: I look forward to this glorious battle!


    Shadow Seeker: How are we going to fight?


    Anthony: I suddenly remembered I still have things to do. How about another day?


    That made Kyle panic as he typed: Don''t leave, Anthony! If you leave, you''re a coward!


    Anthony: I am a coward!


    He rather be a coward than to be discovered by his mother.


    Kyle was rendered speechless. Why is he being such a chicken today?


    Just as he was about to say something, Shadow Seeker typed: You''re called Anthony?


    Anthony wasn''t sure what to say. His name in Darz''s chatroom was Anthony, but his hacker name


    wasn''t.


    After thinking for a while, he replied: Uhm, it''s just a nickname I randomly gave myself.


    Kyle added: Isn''t that nameme? Like, who calls themselves that nowadays?


    Shadow Seeker: My son is also called Anthony.


    Kyle: Man, that''s quite the coincidence! Well, it''s not thatme, actually. It''s quite a cute name for a kid!


    Anthony remained silent.


    Shadow Seeker: I don''t have a lot of time, so let''s get this started.


    Kyle typed in a hurry: Come on, Anthony. Don''t be such a girl and stop wasting time! Even if you drag it


    out, you can''t escape it.


    Anthony really wanted to shut Kyle up. However, since Shadow Seeker had spoken, there was nothing


    he could say. If he insisted on pushing the challenge away, he would appear too suspicious.


    Anthony: Fine!


    Shadow Seeker: The rules are simple. The person who finds their opponent''s IP address first wins.


    Anthony: Oh... Okay.


    It was a simple challenge, but it was also the hardest if both challengers were skilled hackers.


    It was a challenge to see who could protect themselves while still prating their opponent''s


    defenses.


    To put it another way, it was an all-or-nothing battle.


    The person who lost would losepletely.


    N?velDrama.Org (C) content.


    Kyle: That''s... Isn''t that a little too risky?


    In his mind, the possibility of Anthony losing was quite high. He was worried about Anthony''s safety


    should Anthony''s location be discovered.


    Shadow Seeker: We can just call it off.


    Right as Kyle was hesitating about what to do, Anthony typed: Let''s begin!


    Kyle: You made up your mind?


    Anthony: Shut up.


    Admiration shed across Shadow Seeker''s eyes: Okay, I''ll let you go first.


    Anthony remained quiet.


    He hated it when people acted arrogant in front of him, but at that moment, not even a touch of rage


    was present in his heart.


    After all, his opponent was his mother, and he inherited his skills from her.


    There was nothing he could say.


    As he sighed in his heart, he typed calmly: No need. Since this is a battle, we''ll do it at the same time!


    Shadow Seeker was impressed and expressed her respect: Sure, let''s start!


    And so, changes began to ur on theputer screen.


    When Anthony saw that, he immediately attacked.


    With that, a glorious battle between two skilled hackersmenced.


    Suddenly, Anthony had a thought.


    He really wanted to know how big of a difference there was between him and Natasha.


    Because of that, he started taking the battle seriously.


    It would be up to fate if he was discovered.


    At that moment, Natasha was staring at the screen. After her fingers typed on the keyboard for a while,


    a glint shed across her eyes. The speed and method of this counterattack... It''s quite impressive. Not


    only that, it feels familiar...


    Her eyes narrowed as she was intrigued.
