Anything For Her novel (Sophie and Tristan) novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187 Exposed

“Hey, Butterfly. What’s the matter?”It was late, and something must have happened for Butterfly to look for her at a time like that.”“Bad news, Phantom. Someone found our headquarters.”“What?”Their headquarters was located in a remote spot, and no one would be able to find it.“I’m contacting the others right now. There are only a few middle-aged people at the headquarters right now.”“Who did that?”So what if they find out the location of Wings of Light’s headquarters? What is most precious in that place are not the computers but the members.The Diamond members were all away from the headquarters, so they did not have to panic that much.“Clayton Zales. You’ve heard of him, right? He is from the Zales family in Jipsdale.”“Okay, I understand.” Sophie knew what was going on upon hearing that name.“Do we need to change our location?”“It’s fine. I’d like to see what Clayton’s trying to do.”“Phantom, regardless of everything, these people aren’t people we should mess with. I’d say it’s best for you to not go online for the next few days.”Clayton was clearly trying to nab Phantom by creating such a ruckus.After all, there were an infinite number of people like Clayton, who wanted to find out who Phantom was.Clayton had caught them off guard, and that was why things had turned chaotic.“It’s all right. It’s quite late now. You should rest earlier. This isn’t anything important.”It’s just Clayton. I don’t even need to dwell much on him.In the meantime, Clayton was standing in the courtyard of a dilapidated house.“Are you sure that Phantom is in a rundown place like this? I’ve been passing by this place so many times, but I never thought that the famous hacker Phantom would be here.” Even then, Clayton did not believe that the headquarters of Wings of Light was located there.“Clayton, their main base is really here. I’ve only found out about this by chance.”If not for the reliability of his information source, he would not have believed the news too. After all, the net worth of each member in Wings of Light was tens of millions, let alone the Diamond members. All of them were people that major corporations around the world wanted to hire.Right then, Felix arrived with his men.When he saw Clayton, he could not stop himself from mocking, “Clayton, why are you here instead of sleeping? It’s midnight.”Clayton looked at him warily.He had only just arrived after receiving the news. In fact, he had yet to enter the place, but Felix was already there. Could it be that he found out about the base too? Clayton knew all along that Lombard Group had been searching for Phantom.“Mr. Northley, I’m only here for a stroll because I’m bored. However, I would like to know why you’re here,” Clayton replied.Felix had evidently brought more men to the location than him.Thus, confronting Felix head-on would be a bad idea.“Sorry, Clayton, but this is the spot that Mr. Tristan is interested in, so go home and don’t come here again. You should know that Mr. Tristan doesn’t like to see you around.”“You—”Clayton’s subordinates could not bear it anymore, so they dashed toward Felix.“Mr. Northley, we were the ones who found this place, so stop trying to lord over us!”Felix did not even bother sparing them a glance.“So it’s yours just because you found it first? Why don’t you ask Mr. Zales if he dares to say this in front of Mr. Tristan?”Felix was Phantom’s big fan, so when his subordinates found out about the place, he rushed over immediately.He was glad that he had come in time. Otherwise, Clayton would have taken his favorite hacker away.By then, Clayton’s facial expression looked pretty awful.Disregarding everything, Clayton was a man of power and status in Jipsdale. Thus, Felix’s words embarrassed him.On the other hand, Felix was delighted to see the infuriating scowl on Clayton’s face.“What’s the matter? Am I not speaking the truth?”“What’s there for you to be gleeful about, Felix? Did you think that you’d be anyone if not for Tristan?” If the Northley family had not relied on the Lombard family, they would not have achieved anything. Who gave you the courage to act high and mighty despite having the need to rely on someone else in life?”“Do you all see that? That’s jealousy! You want to butter the Lombard family up too, but Mr. Tristan didn’t give you the chance to do that.” Felix did not think that it was anything embarrassing to be closely connected to the Lombard family at all.He still felt that Tristan was the top banana in Jipsdale, and Tristan was more capable than anyone of them.Clayton only became even more irked at Felix’s expression.“What’s the matter? Are you still not going to leave? Are you still trying to go head-on against Mr. Tristan?” Felix taunted with a grin.“You—” Clayton was livid, and he wanted to give it to Felix. Unfortunately, the power he had did not allow him to do so.“We’re leaving.” Clayton still could not challenge Tristan, but that was all right. One day, he would certainly get Tristan to go on his knees before him.“Ha!” Felix was thrilled to see Clayton and his men leave. He immediately called Tristan, “Mr. Tristan, are you really not going to come here? If you’re not, I’m going to go in and meet Phantom.”Tristan was just done with his shower when Felix called, and he only had a towel wrapped around his body.He had such a great body. His Apollo’s belt was simply enticing to anyone who saw it.As Tristan dried his hair, he said, “Do you think that you’ll be able to meet Phantom if you go in now? You’ve been going after Phantom for such a long time, but you still don’t know how well Phantom can hide from us?”Felix turned quiet, but he did not give up yet.He was sure that he would be able to finally meet Phantom.“I’m not going to talk to you anymore. I’m going in.” With that said, Felix ended the call and headed upstairs. However, upon entering, he was greeted with the sight of a flawlessly renovated place with not a single soul around.“F*ck! I’ve deliberately given up on my sleep and come all the way here only to see this?” Felix roared at his men.“Mr. Northley, we don’t know why things turned out this way too. This is indeed Wings of Light’s headquarters, but there isn’t anyone around at all.”It’s not as if we’re feeding you the wrong information!Felix then walked around to scan the surroundings.“No one’s allowed to touch anything here. These are all Phantom’s possessions.”How can ordinary people like them touch Phantom’s devices?“Mr. Northley, they’re just computers.”Isn’t he overreacting?“What do you mean by ‘they’re just computers’? Is the computer the main point? The main point is the person who has been using these computers!”To sum it up, Felix was truly a hard-core fan of Phantom.He worshiped Phantom’s skills.Thus, his men hastily reassured, “Alright, we won’t touch anything!”It’s no joke! He’s completely head over heels for Phantom!Felix wanted to turn on the computers to find out what was in them.However, when he thought about how the computers belonged to Phantom and about how he had a favor to ask of Phantom, he kept his hands to himself.That night, Sophie fell into a deep sleep.When she woke up, Butterfly called again.“Phantom, someone else came, and no one dared to touch all our things after that.”“I see,” Sophie muttered flatly. “Who was it?”“It was Felix Northley, the CEO of Northley Group.” Everyone who came to our base is a big shot!
