The next day, just after breakfast, Levi opened the window's blinds to allow the rays of sunlight to illuminate the room.He picked up a piece of clothing Brooklyn must have dropped while rushing that morning and returned it to its original position.A little smile danced on his lips as he remembered how upset she had been because she missed the alarm due to their hectic tossing around in the bed.But that couldn't be compared to the horrific expression she had when she saw the long trail of hickeys he had left on her body in the most revealing spots.Once again, he was banned from touching her for a month. Pst! That's only her wishful thinking.Ding!Ding!His phone lit up with notifications. There were mails of the reports from his newly acquired print media companies back in San Jose but Brooklyn's message was what caught his eye.[The dinner is starting by 7 pm. The chauffeur will pick you up from home. Please be ready by then]He chuckled at the sticker she sent. It was of a doll
[Opponent Located][Vikings vs Quantums]Dark Cipher couldn't help but sag his shoulders in disappointment. He was expecting to go against the Hacksmiths.Is this thing rigged? Damn it!"Well, I think even if we paired with the Hacksmiths, they are only unknown hackers who got the spotlight for being lucky yesterday, we would have defeated them."His eyes darkened at the words of one of his female teammates. He moved his mouse cursor again, circling around Levi's name.After what happened yesterday, he couldn't exactly agree with the fact that they might beat the Hacksmiths if they were to go against them.That's more of the reason he wanted them to be paired against each other."I wonder which team got the Wickers. As long as it's not us, I'm fine with any other team," Phantom also spoke.[Hacksmiths vs Wickers]"Woohoo! We didn't get the Vikings," Valkyrie danced in her chair.Levi's brows contracted in disappointment. Why? Is this damn system rigged? Why couldn't it have allocated
[Congratulations Hacksmiths. You have won this contest!]Cracked and the rest of his team members were speechless.Then he saw that while they were busy figuring out a way to infiltrate the Hacksmiths firewall, one of the members already created a secret path to their base, stole their flag and returned without them noticing."What the fuck!" His teammates cursed on the other side but Cracked was even more focused on seeing the icon of the team member who had stolen their flag successfully.Once the screen interface changed and they were logged out of the set up, he quickly searched and once he found that person's profile, his eyes displayed an intrigued glint."Blackwing?" He smiled and clicked on his mouse.The cursor moved quickly and a request to be comrades was sent to Levi.On the other side,"Woohoo! We did it!" Valkyrie didn't realise what had happened as she had been sitting comfortably in her chair doing nothing until the message displayed on the desktop screen."Ahem! Senpa
Once the arena was coordinated, the host continued, "For the final round of our annual hacker contest, we will be having a Network Intrusion Simulation challenge."Huh? Every hacker paid attention to his words. Levi sat back and stroked his chin. Network Intrusion Simulation challenge?As if the host heard his words, he affirmed, "Yes, Network Intrusion Simulation challenge. In this round, all teams have to infiltrate a highly secured network system to plant the teams digital flags""You will be provided a simulated network environment representing a fictional organisation's IT infrastructure."Levi stroked his chin with a thoughtful look. Hmm, interesting..."Note, you all will be assailed by bobby traps like firewalls, viruses and many others. All you have to do is to successfully get into the system and plant your digital key at the core to demonstrate a successful infiltration."The host paused for a second for them to assimilate the information before continuing,"The core of the
Amidst all these, the two teams involved faced each other. As soon as Levi gave the command, they swung to action."Can I really not stay back?" Valkyrie cried as her fingers flew across the keyboard sending a series of codes across.It was all too sudden. She didn't expect that after avoiding the Vikings for so long, they would actually encounter each other like this."Yeah, stay back and get infected," Levi didn't mince his words as he evaded Dark Cipher's attack.It seems like he is particularly focused on finishing him off. After evading the attacks for some time, Levi's eyes curved because he could see other teams approaching.If they don't finish this off, another team can seize the opportunity to get out first."Time to finish this," His eyes curved coldly as his fingers changed directions."Uh? What's going on senior? Why did you suddenly stop?" Slime noticed him slowing down."Oh no, you are going to get infected!" Chubby was alarmed.Tap!Tap!Tap!Levi released his fingers
Levi buttoned up the last button on his tailored suit as he walked out of the villa. His expensive derby shoe made a tap tap sound as he walked.A brow arched when he saw the chauffeur waiting for him beside a sleek Lamborghini. It seems like Brooklyn really does fancy luxury cars.Isn't she supposed to be more into clothes, shoes or bags like her fellow women? It really is surprising to see her show interest in cars like this.And he also noticed, she is more keen on the latest models."Good evening sir," the chauffeur greeted politely as he opened the passenger door but just as he was about to step in, the gates opened and another car drove in.He stood back and watched as the cab driver got out to get the suitcases at the booth just as the passenger door opened."Brother-in-law!"Levi's eyes widened slightly when Hector got out and rushed to him. Before he knew what was happening, gripped him in a tight embrace."Where's my sister?" He looked around.Levi walked the guards handle h
"Hector?" Brooklyn called out as she moved closer to the two charming men walking side by side.As soon as he heard his sister's voice, he shrank a bit and hid behind his brother-in-law."What are you doing here?" Her eyes narrowed at him dangerously as she tried to get around Levi to him."Hey honey... You missed your brother so much you don't even acknowledge your husband's presence," Levi held her back aware they were arousing some attention."What is he doing here? Does Dad know you are here?"Usually, Brooklyn would have blushed at how Levi was taking in the sight of her appearance and her matching outfits with his but she was too upset about Hector to even care."Yes, mom too... Grandpa... Everyone," Hector peeked out. "I missed you... Sister, just pretend I'm not even at this dinner party alright? Just pretend you can't even see me, okay?""Hector..." Brooklyn gritted her teeth. "Is this funny to you? You flew miles across without even telling me. What if something had happened
"Micheal, you have done well this time. She is a good one. You should cherish her."Levi's steps faltered as he watched the couple bowing respectfully at the old man Brooklyn was leading him to."I'm sorry. I forgot to tell you earlier. I only just saw them and I must say; I am not pleased."Levi continued on impassively. He didn't care about Zoe's appearance. He was only concerned about Michael's appearance.He is also here in Cardiff. Does he have something to do with the reason why Brooklyn is also here?He knew the cooperation that was supposed to occur between Tyson and Hernandezes had fallen through. Shortly afterwards, the Hernandezes Group faced an issue here.Coincidentally, Micheal Tyson is also her. But could this be a mere coincidence or a foul play?"Grandpa," Brooklyn greeted respectfully and Levi followed suit."Brooke, I'm sorry I couldn't receive you personally. I had to deal with some guests," The old host hugged her with a sense of familiarity.Micheal and Zoe who
