Chapter 388


    After mulling over it briefly, Keh said, “Stop looking for them.”


    Dave was confused. “Why?”


    “You won''t be able to find them, and even if you do, they''re not going to work for you,” Keh


    imed.


    Dave frowned. “How do you know that?”


    “I just do.”


    “You know them?” Dave smelled something fishy.


    Keh lowered his gaze and instinctively hid the truth. “I don''t.”


    “Then, how do you know they won''t work for me?”


    “Didn''t you say so yourself? You spent years searching, so do you think they''re oblivious to the fact


    that you''re looking for them? There''s only one possibility, and that is they refuse to work for you,”


    Keh exined.


    Dave''s brows furrowed as Keh''s exnation swayed his opinion. After pondering for a long


    while, he finally said, “I can''t give up even if that''s the case. Everyone else is looking for them too. If


    I give up now, the others will have a higher chance of finding them. Shadow Seeker and


    Anonymous better be smart and continue to stand firm as they are right now. Otherwise, any


    movement they make will attract the pursuit of every organization. Things won''t be as peaceful as


    how it is now by that time.”


    Keh''s gaze darkened. “What about you?”


    “What?”


    “What are you going to do if someone else seeds in recruiting Shadow Seeker?” Keh asked.


    His question stunned Dave at first. Then, the muscles along Dave''s jaw tensed, and a fierce glint


    shed across his eyes. “I''ll do what anyone else will.”


    “And what is that?”


    “Kill them.” Dave continued, “I won''t give them the chance to go against me.”


    Keh narrowed his eyes at Dave''s deration.


    I''m starting to understand why Natasha hides her identity, but I also now know what it means that


    she was honest with me.


    He dropped his gaze to the floor before swinging it to Dave. “The same goes for you then. You won''t


    get that chance,” Keh said with a smirk.


    Even though Dave hadn''t met Keh over the years, he understood thetter''s character and


    knew he wouldn''t state something confidently without reason. “What do you mean?”


    Keh thought about it for a while before he spoke. “What I''m saying is, don''t even think about it.


    They''re not someone you can even think about.”


    Dave sensed that he was implying something. “J, are you sure you don''t know who Shadow Seeker


    is?”


    Keh is like a walking miracle to me. When we established DX Group together, he could make


    things I deemed impossible happen. After a while, I slowly grew ustomed to it. I''m not surprised


    if he says he knows Shadow Seeker since it''s not entirely impossible in Keh''s case.


    However, Keh staunchly denied it. “I don''t.”


    “Then why can''t I even think about them?” Dave asked.


    “That''s because Shadow Seeker won''t favor any one organization.”


    “How do you know that?”


    Keh turned his gaze to Miguel. “Well, everyone in the hackermunity knows about it. Ask


    him if you don''t believe me.”


    Miguel nodded. “He''s right. Shadow Seeker did dere on the web they wouldn''t favor any one


    organization and even made a vow. I don''t think they''ll go back on their words.” His eyes sparkled


    as he exined.


    The creases on Dave''s forehead deepened. “What good does it do if they made a vow? If taking an


    oath works, we wouldn''t need the police.”


    “You might not believe it, Dave, but the hackermunity does. After all, Shadow Seeker''s the god


    that every one of us admires,” Miguel justified.


    Keh stayed silent at Miguel''s remark, but his face softened, and a faint smile yed on his lips.


    There was even some pride gleaming in his eyes.


    He looked at Miguel. “From your tone, I guess you admire them too?”


    “Of course!” Miguelughed. “They''re my idols.”


    “Who do you admire more? Shadow Seeker or Anonymous?” Keh questioned.


    “Um...” Miguel was caught off guard by his question. “How do I say this? They''re both top hackers,


    so I admire them both.”


    “What if you have to choose one?” Keh was persistent.


    “Then...”


    Keh stared at him intently, adamant about getting a solid answer.


    How can Anonymouspare to Natasha? Anonymous is nothing.


    Miguel frowned, clearly troubled over making a decision.


    Dave couldn''t help but say, “Why are you troubled over something like this? It''s not like something


    will happen after you make a decision.”


    Keh objected, “What if something does happen?”


    “Like what?”


    “What if... one of them decides to take him as their apprentice?” Keh suggested.


    Miguel''s eyes brightened. “R-Really?”


    Dave eyed Keh suspiciously.


    “I''m just saying,” Keh insisted.


    Miguel said dejectedly, “It''d be nice if it was real.”


    Material ? N?velDrama.Org.


    “Your dream mighte true,” Keh hinted.


    Miguelughed. “Just getting to see their real faces will be more than enough to satisfy me, let


    alone taking me as an apprentice.”


    Keh didn''t respond.


    From the side, Dave was silently studying Keh''s expression. After knowing him for so many


    years, I''m sure he knows Shadow Seeker, but since he''s not going to spill, I''m not going to force


    him. I know Keh, and I''m sure he won''t let anyone threaten DX Group, even if he''s already


    washed his hands of the organization. I suppose I have nothing to fret about.


    Dave turned his gaze to Miguel. “Then, what about Anonymous?”


    Miguel''s smile dimmed as his expression turned serious. “There was a rumor within the hacker


    community that Anonymous has already joined an organization.”


    Dave''s brow furrowed at the information. “Which organization?”


    “I think it''s Darz, but there''s no official statement from them.” Miguel added, “Hence, there''s no


    telling if that rumor is true or fake.”


    Darz?


    Keh scrunched his brows.


    Could it be just a coincidence?


    Dave arched his brow and scoffed coldly. “Darz again!”


    His gaze darted to Keh. “That''s your long-time enemy.”


    Keh dipped his gaze. “It''s all in the past.”


    “It may be in the past for you, but they might not think that way.” Dave added, “I heard Holden has


    been asking around about you. He probably would''ve been knocking on your door if you hadn''t


    retired and hidden your identity.”


    The creases on Keh''s forehead deepened. That''s one of my concerns. Anthony joined


    Darz. If they find out about Anthony''s rtionship with me...


    It''s best if I settle things here quickly, then return to talk with Anthony.


    Dave watched Keh fall into silence while his expression darkened. “What''s wrong? Are you


    scared?”


    “Scared?” Hostility red in Keh''s eyes as he looked at Dave. “Are you joking?”


    Daveughed. “I think you might as welle out of retirement. It''s better to be proactive than


    passive. Take over Darz, then retire without worry.”
