Jeff closed his eyes and calmly breathed as he leaned against the window on their way back to the hotel.Mia whispered to Jeff, assuming he was sleeping, "Jeff, congratulations on your win." Her expression was bursting with excitement. Who would have thought that they would last long in this competition? They are in the finals now, and Jeff will compete alongside Marcus Cuomo, the second person on the Hackers rank.Jeff's eyes opened slightly, a tiny smile curling around his lips. "Thanks."Had he not tricked Marc just now, Marc would have gained the advantage.It was very obvious that the staffs of the software organization was also working for the Carter family. They wanted to make things hard for Jeff but he outsmarted them.Jeff knew his goal before he competed with Marc Carter. The software he created would forever translate language even if a new language was discovered.Mia was sitting beside Jeff in the car while Professor Paul was sitting at the front seat with the driver, a

Jeff drove Professor Paul's car quickly down the familiar road, the wind howling behind him. The rush of air against the windows seemed to match the turmoil in his mind.Jeff parked in a spot that was free and got out of the car, feeling the cool evening air against his skin. He moved into the tiny, old bar with a step of purpose. The interior, with its dim lighting and the smell of old wood, had a cozy charm all its own, even with its worn exterior.Spotting Atlas at a table, Jeff approached him, noting the way Atlas sipped his drink slowly, lost in thought. Without hesitation, Jeff reached out, snatching the cup from Atlas's grasp. "If you continue to drink without moderation, you might pass away young," he said with a shrug. Atlas looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and then he smiled a little. "Maybe dying young isn't the worst fate," he muttered cryptically, his gaze turning distant.Jeff took a seat across from Atlas and leaned back, waiting for Atlas to say an

Jeff's vehicle smoothly ascended the curved driveway, surrounded by well-kept lawns and graceful fountains. The magnificent Grador's mansion, with its towering pillars and gleaming marble exterior, exuded grandeur and wealth as it stood tall above.The gate unlocked as Jeff approached, seemingly anticipating his arrival with an odd elegance. His brows furrowed in confusion as he noted the absence of any visible security or staff on the premises of such a lavish estate.He found a perfect place to park his car before getting down from the car. Jeff's gaze darted about, and for a brief moment, he remained where he was.The words of Atlas continued to echo in his ears. “Something was not right.” He could, of course, choose to ignore this, but it would be dishonest of him to claim he was not aware of the oddity as well.Upon reaching the front door, Jeff's cold face was replaced by a sense of unease. The place looked somehow creepy and bereft of human activities.He thought for a moment

Jeff could see Dave talking to one girl, who was laughing like a little child, from a distance. Even from that distance, Dave drew attention, and he even wore something that covered most of his head. Jeff wondered why anyone would be interested in that stupid boy.“You are here” Dave let out a low laugh upon seeing Jeff, he turned to the girl and said. “Nice meeting you Lisa, see you soon.” “You too.” As Lisa turned to leave, the smile on Dave's face faltered completely, like it was never there.“Girls” he mumbled under his breath. He had literally entertained the girl to avoid suspicion from others because he was dressed as someone who was about to rob a bank.“I didn't know you could talk to girls, you look bitter” Jeff made a comment, a smile tugging his lips. “I wonder what that girl sees in you.” “I wonder what Jamie saw in you” Dave laughed it off. “Elias was literally in love with her, and she chose you!”At the mention of Elias, Jeff let out a small laugh.He had not hear

The Crowd in the stadium roared and cheered in unison as it was the last day of the competition between Marcus Cuomo,the second Hacker on the rank list and the rookie from All Stars University, Jeff Hemsworth.Reporters were all waiting outside the contestants way for Jeff. After the news about Rebecca Carter being the ex-fiancee of Duane Malfoy went viral, Jeff who was previously confirmed as the son of Duane received a lot of attention.They want to know if this young genius was really a Carter descendant.As Jeff was guided into the game room, his eyes landed on Professor Paul who looked sterner and angrier. However, Jeff's gaze only lasted for a few seconds before he made his way to the room. Since the publications' release, Professor Paul had been phoning Jeff's number nonstop, but Jeff had purposefully declined the calls in order to spend more time with Dave looking into the orphanage. Dave and Atlas had indeed been living in the orphanage when they were kids and more serious,
