K typed, (Let me say it again. I’m not an uncle!) Alden asked, (Does Dark Net organize the Challenge
Duel every year?] K replied, (Hey, why are you interested in it now? I asked you to be the ringmaster
last year, but you turned me down.]
Alden responded with, (just say yes or no.)
Kthen typed, [Yes, it has already started this year.] One minute later, a notification popped up on Dark
Net’s system. [The Supreme Hacker, Sir Daugherty, is challenging the Bronze Hacker, Harold Who
Loves Milk] K said, [D*mn it! You’re actually challenging a Bronze hacker. You’ve embarrassed the
Supreme hackers! Sir Daugherty! Hey, Sir Daugherty, don’t go away. Come back here and talk to me!]
But Alden directly went offline. If he stood against George in person, he would not be able to explain it
to his mother. Therefore, they had to have a man-to-man showdown on Dark Net. “Beep! Beep!”
George suddenly received a message in his invisible account. He frowned and clicked on it. It was a
notification sent by the system. (Hi, Harold Who Loves Milk, a Supreme Hacker, Sir Daugherty, is
challenging you. Please respond within three days, or it will be considered a rejection after the duration
is over.]
He had registered his account on Dark Net about a year ago.
At that time, his dad had summoned him halfway through his registration. Harold then sneaked into his
study and helped him complete the latter stage of his registration. Therefore, he was forced to have
such a nondescript nickname. He did not like the nickname, and his dad did not allow him to do
anything that involved hackers, so he rarely used the account. It was just the night before last when he
suddenly thought of investigating Adina that he used the account. He had covered himself with a small
shield, bypassed the IP address, and entered LaStar Technology Corporation’s official website. George
cast a glance at the account and realized that a dozen thousand users were following him for no
reason.
It was not easy to be involved in the hacking industry. Any slight movement would attract everyone’s
attention.
George pursed his lips, deleted the notification, and quit Dark Net. He was not interested in the
challenge at all.
However, the person who challenged him was called Sir Daugherty? Was this person the strong
opponent he had met when he sneaked into the official website? What was his relationship with Adina?
There were only a few members in the Daugherty family. Could it be Adina? But that did not feel right
when he thought about it. Dark Net gathered top hacking experts in the world, and only the top ten
accounts on Dark Net would be awarded the “Supreme Glory” title by the system. While Adina was a
programmer, she was unlikely a hacker. George frowned and pondered for a while, but he still could not
figure it out, so he just put it aside.
Alden waited over the weekend, but he did not receive any response. On Monday, Adina sent the kids
to preschool, and Alden became the little brother who was obedient and well-behaved.
She only drove away to her company after she saw her kids enter their preschool. She parked her car
in the parking lot, took the elevator, and went upstairs. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she
saw a group of people in the corridor outside her office.
It was so crowded that the corridor was packed with people.
Even the staff members of the company next door had also come out to watch the show. While Adina
felt puzzled, a fifty-year-old lady suddenly rushed over from the crowd.
