Chapter 519


    Both Natasha and Anthony turned to look at him.


    “What''s wrong?” Anthony asked.


    “Darz has been hacked!” Benjamin answered.


    “What?”


    Benjamin''s brows drew together. “Let''s continue this conversationter. There is arge number of


    hackers attacking Darz at the moment. Kyle is looking for you right now.”


    Upon hearing him, Anthony patted his pockets, only to find no signs of his phone. “I must have left it


    in the room earlier.”


    “Let''s go online first,” Benjamin told him.


    Anthony nodded. Right as he was about to leave, he turned to Natasha. “Nat...”


    “Go on,” she calmly said to them.


    Hence, the boys wasted no time heading upstairs.


    Natasha narrowed her eyes a little as she watched them leave.


    She knew that the boys had to walk down their own paths in life eventually, but she never thought


    that day woulde so soon.


    At that, a faint smile grew on Natasha''s lips.


    When they reached the room and when Anthony went online, Kyle was in the middle of


    cursing: Anthony, if you don''t f*cking get online now, I''m going to go after you!


    As he logged in, Anthony typed: I''m here. What''s going on?


    Kyle: Who the hell knows? There''s arge group of people attacking us all of a sudden, and the line


    of defense is about to break.


    Realizing the urgency of the matter, Anthony asked no other questions as he began solving the


    issue.


    He first set up a firewall. Then, he started counterattacking.


    It was almost like a battle as Anthony led the hackers of Darz to fight against the intruders.


    “Do you need my help?” Benjamin, who was watching from the side, asked.


    Anthony lifted his head to nce at him. “Did you bring yourputer?”


    Benjamin gestured toward another unupiedputer. “I didn''t, but there areputers here.”


    Anthony spared a glimpse at it. “Forget it. Mr. Dave will know if you use theputers here. With


    that, he looked back at hisputer. “Don''t worry. If I couldn''t deal with these, my experiences


    would have all been naught.”


    As he spoke, he let his fingers fly across the keyboard, tapping away rapidly. After his conversation


    with Benjamin, he no longer looked away. Soon, Darz began gaining the upper hand.


    It was only then Benjamin let a sigh of relief escape him.

    However, the longer he stared at the screen, the deeper his frown became.


    “Are they hackers from Vermillion Base?” Benjamin suddenly asked.


    “You realized?” Anthony asked.


    “They''re attacking in the same way as they did thest time,” Benjamin remarked.


    Anthony, who was still staring at the screen, suddenly seemed much more mature than his age as


    he said, “It looks like I haven''t tormented them enough yet. How dare they attack Darz? I''m


    going to make their lives a living hell this time!”


    Thus, Anthony swiftly made it seem like Darz was about to fail so that the hackers would bite


    the bait he had thrown out. Just as the intruders thought that they were winning, he ambushed them


    with Darz''s hackers. Finally, they managed to capture the intruding hackers, and Anthony told


    the group, “Keep them there.”


    With that, Anthony went to work on something else.


    Kyle was watching from the side the entire time. We were about to win, so what is Anthony up to


    now?


    He could not understand the codes on the screen, so Kyle asked with a frown: Anthony, what are


    you doing?


    He received no response, so a momentter, he repeated: Anthony?


    Anthony answered: Be quiet for a while.


    Kyle retorted: What? We''re about to win, so what are you doing right now?


    Anthony replied: Getting somepensation for the trauma.


    Kyle probed: What do you mean?


    Anthony responded: You''ll find out in a bit. With that, Anthony stopped typing.


    Five minutester, Anthony reappeared and strengthened the firewall to stop the intruders from


    entering the system again.


    It seemed like the intruders knew that they had encountered an even more capable hacker, so they


    stopped their onught.


    The hackers of Darz sighed in relief when the website returned to normal.


    Benjamin rolled his eyes at Anthony in response, thinking, It was such a simple thing, but he just


    had to make it seem soplicated. Oh, but this is Anonymous. I''m worrying for nothing.


    Right then, Kyle messaged: If you came anyter, we wouldn''t have been able to keep the base


    safe.


    Anthony reassured: Don''t worry. I''ve set up threeyers of protection. Even if they''ve gone past the


    first two, there''s still one more where the address is a random one.


    Kyle huffed and messaged: You should have told me that earlier.


    Anthony: Who knew you''d panic so quickly?


    Kyle: Well, are you going to let them go so easily?


    Anthony questioned: Uh, what else am I supposed to do?


    Kyle answered: This isn''t like you.


    Anthony: Well, I''ve got to be forgiving sometimes.


    Kyle was in disbelief as he typed: You? Forgiving? I dare you to tell me what you did earlier.


    Anthony: Hm? What can I possibly do?


    Right as Kyle was about to respond to that, Anthony sent him a form.


    Kyle: What is this?


    Anthony: The location details of Vermillion Base''s recent transaction.


    Kyle shrieked as he messaged: What?


    Anthony: No need for such excitement. This is just a little gift. After all, Vermillion Base''s quite poor.


    Kyle: So, the ones who attacked us earlier were Vermillion Base?


    “Uh...” Anthony was stumped. Did I just let it slip?


    In the end, Anthony chose to give him a vague answer by messaging: I guess so...


    Kyle: Vermillion Base''s suddenly targeting Darz. Does that mean they know Anonymous is in


    Darz now?


    Knowing he could not keep things under wraps forever, Anthony confessed: I think Vermillion Base


    found out about this when I posted a bounty list as Anonymous on Darz. Moreover, there have


    been talks about how I''m one of Darz''s hackers, so it''s nothing unusual that they know about


    this. I''m guessing they''re after me today. I''m the one who pulled Darz into this mess.


    Anthony thought that Kyle would be angry, but as a member of Darz, he had toe clean


    about the matter eventually. Even if the confession resulted in his departure from Darz, he still


    would not regret this.


    Yet, to his surprise, Kyle replied: It looks like Vermillion Base is determined to be enemies with


    Darz. In that case, I''m not going to hold myself back anymore. These pests aren''t going to get


    anything from Darz!


    Anthony was dumbfounded to hear that from him.


    Anthony: You''re not angry?


    Kyle slowly typed: Of course I am! How dare they think that Darz is an easy target? I can''t


    believe they''ve formed a group to attack us. I''m not going to let them go easy!


    Anthony: Uh... How are you nning to go about this?


    As if he was merely asking how much a fish was at the wet market, Kyle asked: Well, since they


    wereing at us as a group, we might as well start big. What about Vermillion Base?


    Anthony questioned: So... you mean to say that you want to wipe out Vermillion Base?


    Kyle: Having this bunch of people around only makes the people anxious. Therefore, I think we''ll be


    doing a favor for everyone if we annihte them.


    Although his tone was a light-hearted one, Anthony could sense the anger wafting off Kyle.


    It looks like they''ve infuriated Kyle for good this time. Anyway, I share Kyle''s sentiment, Anthony


    thought.
