On the flip side, after Natasha took a bath, she sat in front of the computer.
Her hair was still wet, and her mind was still filled with thoughts about the foreign men she had met during the day.
Grabbing a pencil and paper, she closed her eyes and tried to recall what the tattoo looked like. A few seconds later, she opened her eyes and began sketching a pattern.
When she was done, she stared at the tattoo on the drawing. It was slightly different from the one on her father, but her gut was telling her it wasn't as simple as just a coincidence. She had a really strong feeling that it was connected.
For a long time, she was practically searching for the truth with a blindfold on, which was why she didn't make a lot of progress. However, her instincts were telling her that the tattoo would be the lead that would guide her to the truth.
Maybe she would even be able to find the culprit pretty quickly.
When her train of thought ended there, she turned on her computer and searched for any information about the tattoo. However, even as she searched for a long time, it was to no avail.
The more she couldn't find any information on the tattoo, the more suspicious she became.
It reminded her of her parents' deaths.
In the end, she gave up looking for a needle in a haystack. Her fingers swiftly danced on the keyboard as a string of code appeared on the screen. The webpage promptly changed into another one.
It was a website for hackers.
Just like the gaming circle, all the top hackers in the world gathered there to pick up special missions. There were challenges, and each hacker was ranked based on their skills, points, and the time taken to complete the missions.
Natasha was undoubtedly placed at the top.
The quickest way to improve one's rank was to challenge someone. If they succeeded in the challenge, their rank would go up. It was that simple.
The moment she appeared, people started chatting: Did you see that ? Shadow Seeker just came onlinelOf course I did! It's been so long since she came
online!
Though they only wanted to watch the fun, someone exclaimed: Those who want to improve their rank should go and challenge her now!
It soon became apparent that no one dared to challenge her. After all, there was a time counter on the ranking, and Natasha was still the current record holder. People took one glance at the time before they gave up on challenging her.
Another chatted: It's fine if we only admire her and make her our inspiration.Like hell I'm going to challenge her. Anyone can tell if they have the right to challenge her just by looking at the time.
Silently, Natasha read what the people were saying before clicking on the bounty list on the website. There, one could list out missions, news, and anything that they wished to know or wanted. If someone knew about it, they would reveal it.
Upon uploading the picture, she hesitated. The moment the news spread, she might as well be halfdeclaring it in public. However, she had no other choice.
Thus, she set up the bounty and announced it.
The moment the announcement was up, someone chatted: Did you see that ? Shadow Seeker just listed a bounty!
G*ddamn! Look at the reward! She really is the highest-ranked hackerlDoes anyone know what she's looking for? Hurry up and reveal it!If it's possible, I want her to take me as a student for the reward!
People kept on chattering.
At that moment, Natasha noticed what was happening and posted a chat: If the information given is true, you 're welcomed to ask for a different reward!
The chat quieted down immediately with Shadow Seeker's chat.
The silence lasted for a long time, as though the computer had died.
The reason was that it was the first time she spoke there.
While she could read what they were saying, she had never shown herself there before, much less say anything. Hence, no one knew what to say.
Someone sitting at the eightiethsomething rank asked: Am I hallucinating? Is Shadow Seeker really speaking in the chat?
The chat practically exploded following that.
Everyone worshipped Shadow Seeker.
Some asked to become her student while others were shouting or discussing the matter.
They might act like crazed fans in a concert, but any one of them was powerful enough to bring corporations or even a country to its knees financially.
However, some of the more conservative hackers had no interest in doing stuff like that. The higher-ranking hackers enjoyed competing with each other more to show off their uniqueness. All they wanted was recognition and fame.
