"Pyotr Volkov. Former Country R Spy in Country P six years ago and a skilled hacker. However, for an unknown reason, he suddenly went back to Country R, retired working for its government and rather lived a very secluded life. Who would have thought that he was running this underworld organization that deals with human live shows."
"How about an encounter with Eddie Wang?" Rawlf asked the man on the other side of the phone.
"No. I can't find any, which definitely means that Pyotr and your future father in law have no intersection at all. To add, that man was based in City M. He has not stepped foot in City I."
"Any person he was related to or happened to interact with during his stay in City M?" "That…. I'm still working on it." Rawlf could hear the hesitation from the man's voice. "Spill it." Rawlf demanded.
"Well, you'll be shocked." Rawlf didn't reply.
"I found his signature in the protective barrier system from the Cang's computers and cellphones."
Rawlf didn't show any expression that could at least tell whether he was shocked by this news but rather, if you look closely, you could see that it's like the news isn't news at all. It's like he already expected it.
"Focus on investigating Katarina Cang and that man. Both may have a relationship. Also, the incident with Eddie Wang that year, there should be a relation with the Cang."
"Why do you still do my service when you seem to already understand the situation?! You could just simply annihilate the Cangs and that man, just like what you did on the Yans years ago, oh great and powerful Rawlf Sy."
"That Island you wanted in the Pacific, consider it yours as soon as you accomplished what I asked you to do."
"You are definitely the great and powerful – ,"
Rawlf Sy disconnected right away and was no longer bothered by that man's words.
Alec Fedorov, world's famous hacker hiding under the alias 'Wizard', Rawlf's classmate and friend when he was in H University, another genius and one of the finest recruits in Rawlf's Persian force.
Rawlf was deep in thought when his phone rang, it's Veronica. "Love."
"Do you and the Tan family have a good relationship?" "Why?"
"Just answer me first."
Rawlf paused and answered, "It depends." Veronica sighed.
"His daughter called me earlier wanting to have a meeting with me when I'm not even acquainted with her."
Rawlf laughed quietly. It was indeed a better idea that they decided to send their children back to Country P.
It seems like the pawns were being placed on the board now. "What do you think?" "Well, I would like to find out." Veronica chuckled.
"When and where." "Leave it to me." "Veronica."
"We'll talk at home tonight."
"What time are you going to be home?"
"Secret." Veronica laughs and disconnected leaving Rawlf frowning yet his lips curved. After some time, he dialed Alec's number,
"Investigate the Tan family."
As soon as he said that, he disconnected leaving the man in the other line screamed in annoyance.
"Unscrupulous capitalist!!"
Tan Mansion.
"She said yes." Julie Tan said on the other line, due to sleepless nights and hatred, she looks a bit different than her usual glowing and graceful appearance.
"That easy?" The woman on the other line asked in uncertainty. "Yes. I want her destroyed! Keep your promise!"
"Calm down, let's be careful."
"She wouldn't doubt. I'm her junior during college."
"Good. The plan is still the same, it's very easy. Follow it and Rawlf will be yours, sister. " Julie Tan closed her fist and disconnected.
Her eyes held hatred.
Her hatred for Veronica started when she was a freshman in college and that day, her seniors held their initiation rites.
Julie Tan used to be an arrogant girl thinking she was the smartest in her batch and even dared to go against her seniors especially Veronica because the first time she saw her face, she felt envious.
However, Veronica managed to teach her a lesson of humility by asking her a question she couldn't answer.
Julie Tan took it the wrong way and considered it as being humiliated in front of her batch mates and the rest of the seniors.
"Veronica, you not only dared to humiliate me, you also dared to steal my most beloved man, even gave birth to children for him when that should be me! Whatever happens to you tomorrow, you deserve it!" Julie Tan uttered in absolute loath.
"After what happened to you that year, you still dared going back here. You can only blame yourself."
And memories from years ago flashed before Julie Tan's eyes.
During college, unknown to Veronica but the young lady of the Tan, Julie Tan, was in the same dorm as her, in fact, their dorm's room is just in front of each other.
Around that time, Julie Tan is already deeply 'in love' with Rawlf Sy and unknown to the man, she saw him entering Veronica's room.
