Chapter 427


    Albi''s expression changed drastically upon hearing his father''s reprimand. He hurriedly lowered his


    head and apologized. "You''re right, Father."


    When Kingsley saw his reaction, he broke into a smile and said, "Mr. Hewitt, there''s nothing wrong


    about asking questions. The truth is that I was Warren''srade-in-arms. As for the presence of


    Jay Carter and the others… I didn''t ask them toe here. We just happened to know each other.''''


    "You… are Warren''srade-in-arms?" Both Walter and Loretta had tears in their eyes when they


    heard their youngest son''s name.


    They were in no mood to wonder about the degree of truth in his words. Naturally, they would not


    inquire further, even if they had any doubts in their hearts. They were far from spring chickens now


    and hade to understand the true meaning of the saying, ''Where ignorance was bliss, it was


    folly to be wise''.


    "Yes. I was a soldier for two years." He bowed deeply to Walter and Loretta and handed them a


    name card. "My name is Kingsley Nicholson. Ie from Cleapolis. Please give me a call at any


    time if you ever need my help in the future."

    Walter took the name card with both hands. The name card was elegant, containing only the words


    ''Kingsley Nicholson'' and a phone number. He kept the business card away preciously. "Okay. Thank


    you, Mr. Nicholson."


    After Kingsley parted ways with the Hewitt couple, he drove back to Sris University. Courtney


    and ine were already waiting for him below the dormitories.


    "Kingsley." Courtney stepped forward. "How was the birthday celebration? Was it lively?"


    "Of course, it was lively," he replied with a smile. "It''s such a waste that you didn''te with me,


    Courtney! You could have had the chance to see Zeke''s wretched wailing face!"


    She sneered upon the mention of Zeke''s name in her presence. "I couldn''t be bothered to see his


    ugly and disgusting mug." Then, she hurriedly tugged at ine, who was standing beside her. "By


    the way, ine says that she has talked to Professor Albright. Why don''t you discuss the matter in


    detail?"


    in held a hardcover book with an borate silver cover in her hands and spoke apologetically,


    "I''m sorry. I begged my father the whole morning, but he refused to agree to meet you in private. So,


    again, I''m very sorry…"


    "It''s nothing. I asked you for help after all. So, what is there for you to be sorry about?" He waved


    his hands dismissively. "I should be thanking you instead. You had to beg your father for so long just


    because of me."


    She smiled shyly before seemingly remembering something as she handed the book in her hands


    to him and added, "My father wrote this book. It can be regarded as his autobiography, but it is


    mainly about some of his unique insights into the field of information security. I specially brought a


    copy for you today."


    He took the exquisite hardcover book from her. Then, his eyelids twitched at the sight! The words


    written on the cover were ''Computers—Twenty Years of Information and Intelligence'', written by


    Vincent Albright.


    Information and Intelligence? When those words came upon his very sight, he became almost 90%


    sure that Vincent was the head of The Anonymous! After all, ordinary people would rarely have


    ess to the information known as ''intelligence'' in today''s society. Not to mention, a university


    professor in the School of Computer Science like Vincent was able to write a book on information


    and intelligence. That could only indicate that he had some unusual experiences in his life!


    With that thought in mind, Kingsley sincerely thanked ine. "Thank you, Miss Albright. I will


    thoroughly study Professor Albright''s works tonight and arrange a meeting with him when school


    starts tomorrow."


    After Courtney heard the way Kingsley addressed ine, she burst intoughter. "''Miss Albright''? I


    thought the two of you had already gotten familiar with each other. Why are you still being so


    distant?" Then, she pped Kingsley on the shoulder. "Here, call her ''Ellie''."


    "Um…" Kingsley was speechless for a moment. "No matter how you look at it, I''m a man. So, it''s


    inappropriate for me to call her by a pet name, right?"


    "What is there to be embarrassed about? Can''t a man call ady by a pet name?" Courtney


    pretended to lose her temper and pouted. "Don''t you call me by a pet name too?"
