Bee snapped, “Shut up!”
Him echoed, “Shut up!”
The senior executives of the Warren Group were stunned into silence. How could these two legendary hackers be so rude?
Seething, Aelfric slammed his fist on the table. After a moment, he typed again, saying, “If you insist on dragging the Warren Group into your feud, don’t blame me for responding. I am the deputy chief instructor of the Doomsday Base. I will mobilize our organization’s resources to track you down globally and make you answer for this!”
Aelfric expected his threat to carry weight, but neither Bee nor Him took him seriously
Bee said, “Black Mallow is the chief instructor at your base. If you misuse Doomsday Base’s power, won’t she come after you?”
Him added, “Even the King of Doomsday Base wouldn’t dare cross me. You’re just a deputy chief instructor. What can you really do?”
Aelfric’s fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles popped, his anger reaching a boiling point. This was the first time anyone dared to defy him like this, aside from Black Mallow and Connor. He vowed to expose Bee’s and Him’s true identities and make them regret their actions. After Aelfric stopped talking, Bee and Him continued to hash out their personal issues
Him said, “You seem busy?”
Bee replied, “And you seem to have too much free time?”
Meanwhile, Connor checked his watch in his car. He was also pressed for time. Marissa was waiting for him, and he needed to wrap things up with Bee quickly so he could head to the Sunrise with her. Connor knew he couldn’t waste time. He had to get straight to the point
He then asked, “Are you a man or a woman?”
Bee responded, “That’s none of your concern.”
Connor continued, “Are you Riss’s network security consultant? A suitor? Or her boyfriend?”
These questions left Marissa dumbfounded. From his questions, it appeared Him assumed Bee was male. Could Him be one of Riss’s admirers or suitors? Why was Him asking these questions? It seemed like Him was out of his mind
Marissa raised her hand to rub her temple, feeling overwhelmed. There were too many possibilities. The number of men interested in Riss was vast. How could she possibly determine which one Him was?
Frustrated and annoyed, Marissa typed a bizarre response. “I’m her husband. We have two children. What’s the problem?”
Connor, sitting in the car, suddenly tensed up. He recalled when they were at the courthouse for divorce mediation, Marissa mentioned having twin children, a boy and a girl. At the time, he thought Marissa was just deceiving the mediator. Could it actually be true? Had she really had twins, and was Bee their father? Instantaneously, jealousy washed over Connor
Suddenly, Domenic, Marc, and Terry sensed a chilling aura of murderous intent emanating from their boss. Domenic, who was at the wheel, stole a glance at Connor in the rearview mirror and instinctively recoiled in fear. Connor’s expression was one of such wrath that it seemed he might unleash his fury on the entire city. Domenic feared that Connor might lash out at him in a burst of rage, potentially killing him on the spot
Sitting beside Connor, Marc and Terry cautiously peered at their boss’s phone screen and finally understood the reason behind his fury. Bee was in trouble!
They recalled previous conversations where Connor had praised Bee’s hacking prowess, declaring Bee a match for him. He had even mentioned that if it weren’t for the fact that he himself was capable enough to ensure the Daniels Group’s network security, he would consider hiring Bee as the network security director
Whenever Connor spoke of Bee, he did so with evident respect and admiration. However, that admiration had vanished. From the moment Connor discovered the true nature of Bee’s relationship with Riss, he saw Bee as a romantic rival. Possessive and authoritarian by nature, Connor was likely to confront Bee aggressively. To avoid the palpable wave of hostility emanating from Connor, Marc and Terry subtly shifted further away from him in their seats
Meanwhile, Domenic focused intently on the road ahead. He navigated around even the smallest pebbles with utmost care, worried that any minor disturbance might provoke Connor’s fury. In the stifling and gloomy atmosphere, Connor issued another challenge to Bee
“You’re right. I’m pretty free today. So, I won’t stop until I catch you!” he declared. “I’ll rip you to shreds once I do!”
Marissa read this message and felt a surge of anger, her lovely face clouding over. If Him were in front of her now, she would give him a beating he’d never forget. By sheer coincidence, her car pulled up in front of Daniels Manor at that moment
Cade stepped up and courteously opened the car door. Arabella, who had feigned sleep during the ride, now opened her eyes. Seeing Marissa’s distressed expression, Arabella spoke gently. “Sweetie, we’re home. It’s time to get out of the car.”
Marissa clenched her teeth. “Grandma, you go ahead and rest. I still have things to wrap up.”
Arabella, having never seen Marissa look so fierce, hesitated to interrupt further. “Alright, I’ll head inside then. Sweetie, take your time and set that jerk straight!”
With Cade’s assistance, Arabella exited the car and carefully shut the door behind her. Once Arabella had departed, Marissa was the only one left inside the vehicle. Now, she no longer needed to mask her expressions or tone
She let out a derisive snort and began typing furiously
“Fine by me. I’m also free today. Bring it on! If I don’t find you and beat you until you’re severely injured, I won’t be called Bee!” she declared
When Connor read this message, his lips twisted into a sinister smile before he unleashed a brutal attack. Meanwhile, his car veered into the grounds of Daniels Manor, eventually pulling up behind Marissa’s car. Domenic, ever cautious, asked, “Sir, shall we get out now?”
“Get out!” Connor commanded through clenched teeth. Domenic, Marc, and Terry scrambled out so hastily that they failed to notice Marissa sitting in the car right before them
As Him initiated another attack, Marissa reacted instantly. The two clashed fiercely once more. Meanwhile, something even stranger unfolded in the system of the Warren Group
During the initial clash between Bee and Him, the Warren Group’s computers repeatedly powered off and on, puzzling onlookers. As Bee and Him commenced their second confrontation, a noticeable change occurred on all Warren Group computers. Previously, these machines had cycled through shutdowns and startups endlessly, with streams of incomprehensible code racing across the screens. However, this time, the coding sequences halted after a brief flurry of activity
When the streaming codes paused, the exchanges between Bee and Him emerged amidst the digital chaos
“Keep your distance from Riss!” Him demanded
“You can’t dictate my actions! I love her deeply. Keeping my distance is out of the question. Just give up,” Bee retorted
“If you don’t leave her alone, I’ll erase your existence from this world!” Him threatened. “Seeing you this enraged, it seems your efforts to win Riss’s heart have failed. You are such a loser!” Bee taunted
After several exchanges, the coding resumed at a swift pace. The confrontation was intense, with Bee and Him frequently pausing to argue. Spectators quickly pieced together the drama unfolding between them: a love triangle where two men vied for one woman’s affection
Aelfric and the senior executives watched in disbelief. While the personal quarrel between Bee and Him was none of their concern, they questioned why such a dispute had to play out on the Warren Group’s network. No one could foresee the duration of this fierce conflict, and the Warren Group was nearing its breaking point
In a moment of desperation, Aelfric made an announcement on the company’s official social media. “The Warren Group is currently experiencing a cyberattack initiated by Bee, with Him also involved. Both parties are engaged in a severe altercation. We request your patience during this time. Thank you for your understanding.”
This statement sparked a fresh surge of public interest. Instead of ridiculing the Warren Group, people became engrossed in debating who would ultimately prevail-Bee or Him. Hackers worldwide tuned in, making the hackers’ chat room abuzz with excitement
